Better news on the US economy drives stocks higher
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market is closing higher as encouraging news about the U.S. economy outweighs concerns that interest rates could start climbing sooner than many people had expected.
Major U.S. indexes erased nearly all of their losses from the day before, when Fed Chair Janet Yellen suggested that rates could rise next year.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 11 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 1,872 Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 108 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,331. The Nasdaq composite climbed 11 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,319.
An index of economic indicators rose in February by the largest amount in three months, suggesting growth will accelerate following a severe winter. The Philadelphia branch of the Fed said manufacturing rebounded in that region in March.

BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern Contest 2013 - the Amelia s...
Added Feb 14, 2013
by macska
Wellington, New ...
A variation on the Amelia top, which is itself a variation of the Elizabeth dress bodice in the BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern book.
Due to lifestyle needs (aka a small baby) I decided to take the cute 1930's inspired Amelia top from the BurdaStyle Vintage Modern book and turn it into a button-front shirt. I kept most of the details of the Amelia top (including the shaped yoke and the cap sleeves, which are the two elements that attracted me to the top in the first place) and simply made two adjustments to the pattern.
There are five buttons, in two different styles alternating down the front of the shirt to add a bit of fun and modernity. I faced the button turnings with a strip of the floral lawn, for a touch of fun and prettiness on the inside.
Cottons were changed out to match the colour of the fabric, so that stitching is as invisible as possible.
The seam allowance for the yoke was pressed downwards towards the hem and top-stitched in place, so that it stays flat and that the darker brown fabric won't show through the lighter lawn.
The hem and armholes are simply turned under and stitched, to make it easy to take in at the side seams in the future (since I'm still working on losing baby weight!).
(Note: the ties do hang down, but it was a bit windy when the photos were being taken!)
The result – a reasonably fitted style, with a tie neckline, cap sleeves, five buttons up the front, dart fitting, and good for wearing with wide-legged trousers or skirts. It's got a "vintage" touch through the design lines and the length, and also the use of a vintage floral cotton lawn. But it's also kept modern through contrast fabric and buttons, and a heavier cotton drill for the lower half.
You can find more details over on my blog
Material Notes
The top half is in a white cotton lawn with pink floral design and small pink hearts. The bottom half is a cotton drill.

Very cute! Great idea to do buttons instead of a side zipper, I bet it makes it a lot easier to get into, great job!

Thanks! :-) The buttons are definitely a lot easier, but then I always have to wrestle trying to get in and out of side-zip garments… :-/

Tech start-ups could add $109 billion to the Australian economy and create 540,000 new jobs by 2033, according to a new report commissioned by Google.
But that sort of growth - equivalent to a four per cent rise in GDP - will only be achieved if high schools start producing more computer science graduates with never-say-die entrepreneurial skills, experts have warned.
"A strong homegrown tech sector is vital to future Australian jobs and wealth," Google Australia's engineering director Alan Noble said.
"It's never a better time to be a tech entrepreneur, but we need to act now so that we become a nation of creators and innovators."
There are currently about 1500 tech start-ups in Australia, with 64 per cent in Sydney, 24 per cent in Melbourne and the remainder in Brisbane, Perth, Canberra and Adelaide.
Those companies, mostly in the telco and media sectors, contribute 0.1 per cent of GDP and around 9500 jobs.
But consultants PwC said those totals could rise dramatically within 20 years if more children learned computer sciences from an early age, along with dogged entrepreneurial skills.
PwC's report, The Startup Economy, found the number of Australians graduating with computer science degrees had fallen by two thirds over the past decade, despite huge growth in the global tech sector and its often well-paid employment opportunities.
"This is not a higher education issue, it's about getting people immersed in that skill-set from an earlier age - this is a high school policy issue," economist and PwC partner Jeremy Thorpe said.
PwC's report also found that Australian entrepreneurs had a considerably higher "fear of failure" than those in the US and Canada.
Mr Thorpe admitted the failure rate among tech start-ups was high, but said 40 per cent of failed tech entrepreneurs rebounded and tried again, often very successfully.
That willingness to take another punt was crucial to building a strong Australian tech start-up sector, Mr Thorpe said.
"What we need to see is more people take risks," he added.
"This goes back to culture - the culture of not seeing having a go and failing as the end game, but having a go and failing as one step on the road."

I downloaded DotPup for Opera and tried to use DotPup Package Installer. It unzipped it and tried to go to download site
As I understand
does not work for
So to work arround that, I downloaded via Mozilla to the tmp folder and tried to use PupGet package manager with
method. It gives me an error that this package is trying to install somewhere other than
Top Level Directory
, like /root, /user etc. Hence, no installation.
How do I then install and run Opera as I always liked it while runing
By the way, anyone remembers how was it like to use Windows in golden old days

Thanks for understanding the word urgent and prompt responce. but you see, the problem is not in downloading, problem is in Installation.
Both, DotPup Installer, and PupGet Manager are not letting it get installed.
Any thoughts ?

I think that you are doing something really wrong.
1st. wget can do ftp for sure.
2nd. DotPups aren't installed with the PupGet Manager as alien packages. They are executed from within Rox (just click the icon)
3rd. If you go to the opera site and download it. You need to download the tar.gz version, untar it and run the installation script.
That's it. It asks a couple of questions about where to put it I disabled those questions to simplify the install.
It also gives a missleading message that sounds like an error but isn't. Something like that it cannot put certain files under /usr. The strange thing is that it does not even try to put them there, it always copies them to /etc.
And PLEASE. I've re-read your post three times and I still don't understand why would it be urgent.
Maybe it's urgent that you learn some etiquete.
Urgent is that it fried your computer and you don't want other people to suffer the same. Urgent is if it corrupts your OS, Urgent is if it runs away with your wife. That you cannot install it for whatever reason is not urgent. If it was the case, 70% of the posts could be marked as urgent. You would have gotten a prompt response even with out the urgent word.
I'd appreciate if you have some consideration for other people's time. Nobody is as important as they think they are.

Dear Rarsa, I am sorry if my using the word
got you this angy with me.
Since I wrote it in a hurry, I might have missed some details, hence you got the impression that I was trying to install a DotPup with pup get. So here is the run down
I Clicked DotPup in Rox, It showed the error that internet connection not found. As you can see I am connected to internet and writing this post.
Then, I downloaded a tar.gz package from Opera using my browser to a local folder and
tried to run PupGet with alien method on local file that I downloaded. and it showed a message indicating that
this package is trying to install somewhere other then a /root or /user
and did not install the package.
I may be wrong again. Can you please help ?

copy the opera.pup for example to /root/tmp
unzip it:
cd /root/tmp
unzip opera.....pup
Now open dotpup.sh in beaver and unccomment the line with wget with a "#".
Now copy the opera.tgz you downloaded to the same folder, and run dotpup.sh:
Best will be to download the file that is in the line with wget (you can use mozilla for this, just type in the ftp://... like a normal HTML-Website in the adressbar).
then you also will see, if it was a problem with wget, or if you have problems with that file in Mozilla too.
Maybe just the server was down, they certainly have high traffic currently.

I just explained you how to install it...
copy it to /root/tmp together with the dotpup and do what i described.
dotpup.sh will install the file you downloaded manually, if you uncomment (=deactivate) the line that tries to run wget.

You mean comment, right? As commenting would stop it from running wget, and uncommenting would make it run it, which it should already do.
Helpee, do what he said, but you might need to make dotpup.sh executable first. It wouldn't hurt.
The other way to install it is to unarchive the .tar.gz file and run the install script inside. I'm not sure what it is called, but it works. That's how I installed Opera before the dotpup was made. It takes more setup to get it going though.
As for Pupget, it is not made for installing packages that were not specifically made for it. If I made a package that it could install, but Barry didn't support it, that would be an alien package.

Hello Guys.
Thanks for all the help. I was able to copy tar.gz and put it in my /root, I also unzipped dotpup package in my /tmp and run dotpup.sh as described by MU.
Every thing worked fine except that an error message about the plugins which I could not understand.
any how, I am now coming live from LiveCD and and typing away in Opera 8.5. all because of your help and support. This forum is great and all the forumers ( like that is a real word ) are also great.
Just a quick note for raras.
Man, you need to chill out. Was it really that big a deal if I used the word urgent, that you bashed me like you did. But I forgive you. But, you need to chill nonetheless
Thanks Everyone.
Have a great Puppy Day.

The only person who needs to chill out around here is me.
Netiquette - I thought it was a new form of fishing.
In the words of advice from my [alleged] psychiatrist, "I ain't treating you till you start acting sane."
And that bit about "communication is what the other person hears - not what you said." Well I ain't listening to that . . .
Anyway I will do my best to be kewl - how am I doing so far?

One of craft beer's biggest trends of recent years is the explosion of barrel-aged beers hitting the shelves and taps. These complex and often potent brews require extra care and time to produce, and it seems that craft brewers enjoy making them as much as beer lovers enjoy drinking them.
Barrel aging is a way for brewers and cellarmen to add extra complexity and layers of flavor to beer, and everything from raw oak barrels to used spirit barrels to retired red wine barrels can be used by brewers looking to produce creative concoctions. Many different styles of beer make good candidates for barrel aging, but malt-forward and high alcohol styles like imperial stouts and barleywines most commonly see the inside of a barrel.
Using wood barrels for beer is of course nothing new, but until the craft beer revolution, nearly all the barrels used in brewing were coated on the inside with brewer's pitch to prevent the barrel from influencing the beer. The sour ales of Belgium are the main exception -- they require microorganisms in the wood to provide the tart and funky flavors so prized by fans of lambics.
American craft breweries also use wood-aging for their "wild ales"; the Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa is one of the most well-regarded sour beer producers in the state. Their line of complex barrel-aged beers use a range of barrels from Sonoma County wineries that once held chardonnay, pinot noir, or cabernet sauvignon.

All too often nowadays kids are taught to fear adults and authority figures. Just like everyone else, an adult should earn the respect of their students and those under then. It should not be assumed.
Kids should respect all adults from the beginning, THEN if the adult does something wrong they should lose respect, not the other way around.
In this way, the kid can be taken advantage of by malevolent adults before they realize that their trust is misplaced...
I never said you have to trust them. Trust & respect are two different things. I can treat a person with respect and not believe a single word they said, do anything they ask, or trust them as far as I could throw them. Respect is just good manners,
We must be using the word differently.
I can show good manners to an individual that I have no respect for more easily than I can distrust someone that I do respect.
Yeah, also it's because we approach that part of life in the opposite manner from each other, and maybe it's cultural too. I'm part of a racial minority (1st generation born outside of ancestral home).

Throw them out in the wild and let them fend for themselves.
Please find my stupidity cute. :)
I'm going to be a loving bitch. lol Tough, fairly critical, "scary" when mad and woken up, and moderately protective (not a hover-parent); however, they'll have alot of freedom to be kids. I won't put up with stupid crap, though, and they better not expect me to cater to their every want. I'm not a big fan of most electronic devices and toys, and my child-raising will reflect it. I like pseudo-organic and holistic approaches to food and medicine, so alot of people will probably mistake them for vegans, vegetarians, and hipsters. They WILL grow up with the presence of anime and manga, of course.

I am a christian, if I had kids, I would never hit or spank my children, Most christians think that God, Jesus Christ, and thy Holy Spirit of God would require spanking. I disagree with all spankers and supossedly should all of you. The Bible made itself clear that we're NEVER suppose to hit or spank children, even with things that are never ever and never ever will be and never ever suppose to be meant, ever at all [under any circumstances] to hit or spank our children. Why would people say that spanking and abuse would be two different things? It's because they're taking excuses for 9/11, Osama Bin Laden, Boston Marathon Bombings, George Zimmerman, Casey Anthony, Adolf Hilter, Satan, and others bad people and criminals all around Planet Earth such as the person behind "The Dark Knight Rises" Midnight Showing Massacre and an armed robbery. Stop forcing children to do whatever you want! How would a trainer feeling disrespected and beating up his or her Pokemon even with things that are never and never suppose to be meant for hitting their Pokemon to hit them for losing to another one called being a real Pokemon Master?! How would meisters force humans to listen by letting a kishin eat his or her soul[s] if they don't listen have them to listen and solve problems? Does Lex Luthor even care about the Justice League or citizens everywhere? Does everybody want Warner Bros. to announce that Ben Affleck has been already set to play the role Bruce Wayne and Batman in the future DC Comics Batman Vs. Superman motion picture dealing with "World's Finest", "Batman : The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 & 2" and multiple episodes of "Superman: The Animated Series" and "The Justice League Merchandise"? Does Naruto always wanted Sasuke to be back with his friends or to be with Orochimaru? Did Sakura feel happy without Sasuke? Did the Mandarin' destroyed Iron Man's house?! Did Ash want to give away Pikachu to Team Rocket? Well, ask me and you'll find out instead of spanking and hitting children for your answers to your questions and to your problems! The Word of God straight from the Bible and only the Bible and none else, "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child" was mistakenly and satanicly translated to spanking and hitting children even with rods, sticks and oither things etc... by false prophets and humans and only false prophets and humans.....Never God, Jesus Christ, Thy Holy Spirit Of God, and the bible supposedly! ever! There's also been science studies showing that spanking causes mental illness and I ,myself, agree that It's child abuse and child abusive and supposedly should you! And there's many adults, etc... saying that they've been spanked even things that are never meant for hitting and they have become good people. Well, I disagree with all of them. Why are we introducing our way to our bruises and cuts all over our body? It never made any common sense for any adults or other people to say that they have been spanked and it would turn people into better, smart, and kind people and changed their lives! ever!/red] I am glad and happy, without using pride [sin], to extremely, strongly, and powerfully forbid you people, child abusers and spankers reading on your computer, on your mobile device in the movie theatres, Restuarants, ice cream parlors, McDonalds', Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, Homes aka Houses, Dunkin' Donuts, your Grandmother's house, your Grandfather's house, your reletavies' house, your friends' house, on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook , Flickr, Crunchyroll, Yahoo, Bing, Google, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta, American Airlines, U.S. Airways, an arena, a stadium, at a football game or baseball game, the bar, the pub, colleges, schools, churches at dinner, work, home from work, and anywhere, etc.... Including ,Disney Land, Disney World, Six Flags, Kings Island, Cedar Point, Krispy Kreme, hotels, flights, and even Universal Studios [under any circumstances even when NBC, MSNBC, Fox News, CBS, ABC, CNN, and ESPN said so] to never [it feels good to say this to all of you] and never suppose to [ever at all] to hit or spank your children even as discipline, even with rods, belts, bottles, hands, extension cable cord, sticks, of anything that are never suppose to be meant,ever at all since day one of Planet Earth, to hit or spank your children, pets, wives, or anybody ever at all and/or ever again if you spank your children My family use to hit and spank me even with sticks and belts when I was a kid and it never worked. I spanked some dogs and I realized that it's abuse. If you use things and hands to smack, spank and punish your children, you're making excuses for slavery. Why must you hit children? i hate spanking so very much. I will slam spanking. I will put my foot down on spanking. Spanking is not from God. It's just a stupid decision for parents to make. It's a stupid, deceptive choice. It's just a dumb idea. I'll talk to you about more on this tomorrow when I'm done with my shower. Good Night.
P.S. FYI [For Your Information] - To all of you spankers who love to spank your children, ABC's Supernanny is a good parent than any of you lazy parents, because spanking never worked ever. Think about it. You're always being lazy and finding easy ways out of your discipline problems by spanking them instead of trying to discipline them like you're suppose to, since day zero of this planet. I'll pray for all of you to stop hitting and spanking children and understand their weaknesses

In England there are two main types of children/adolescence at the moment, ones that behave, do their school work and keep their opinions to themselves and a close knit of friends where on the other hand we have ones that hang round in peer pressured groups of 7 or more who find it necessary to belittle anyone around them that are different in the slightest way.
This is based on what neighborhood they grew up in, how their parents allowed them to and such. If they were to keep them locked away in their house forced them to do work obviously it'll cause them to have better grades later on in life but it would damage their social prowess, or were they to allow their children to do what ever they want it a big risk on what attitude they would develop towards attitude whether it be positive or negative.
My question to you guys is, how would you raise you children?
well, i would not lock them in my house and force them to work, that's just asking for them to be rebellious and hang out in peer pressured groups
you gotta let them do some exploring on their own
although I would give them advice on what to do and what not to do
im not to sure, im to young to have children and i dont think ill be having any any time soon
but i think it's a bad idea to force things on them
you gotta like make yourself a role model as a parent and a damn good one
meh -_-

Throw them out in the wild and let them fend for themselves.
lol that gave me a good damn laugh
that almost sounds reasonable
i mean that's what most animals do with their kids
meh -_-
I would raise my children somewhat how my parents have raised my brothers and I.
My parents have showed us that they love us and support us in anything and everything.
They raised us to be well rounded people. We are pretty social:love going out and having a good time but also get our shit done when we have to. Lol
If I would stray from what my parents did it would be letting my children go out more and well the whole having a relationship thing. I remember countless times my parents not letting me go out with my friends and if they did I had to be home by 12pm. Also since I'm the youngest and only girl my parents (mostly my dad) didnt allow me to date a guy in middle school nor high school. Shoot even now if I'm dating a guy he has to meet my parents to be actually considered my boyfriend and not a guy friend.
And your eyes nose lips It haunts my memory I can't forget you if I tried
I mean... I probably won't, because I don't want to have children. That's what I keep telling myself now at the age of 18, at least.
Although, if I do ever have kids, I'll raise them to be smart AND cool. Like in anime!
EDIT: I noticed I forgot to mention methods... Oh, well. Too much effort for how lazy/tired I am right now.
The word is... Bravery!

But....I'd raise them in no particular special way other than preventing them from accessing the internet (yes, no smart phones, too) until they get into high school or later. It'll surely force them to develop better social skills, as they will need to actually interact with people to convey anything.
But...how would they meet up with their friends if they don't have a phone? What if they get lost, how would they reach you? What if there's an emergency, payphones can almost never be found. How would they reach the cops? You could be putting your children in danger!
I'm not putting them in danger, as I am not the one thrusting them into dangerous situations.
I'll just give them a really really old phone with no advanced functions lol
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
Remember me, it's me. I would be a peaceful parent now like you're suppose to be since day zero of planet Earth. Peaceful parenting changed my life into a beautiful and respectful one. Last Night, I told you are never and/ or to never again, if you ever spanked your children, ever to hit or spank children even with things that are never suppose to be meant for hitting and spanking children, even as discipline. God forbid it's children to hit or spank children. I'm not going to hit or spank my children, pets, wives, or pets, if I have them, even as discipline ever at all. I am not only talking me or you, I am also talking to everyone around the world from The Horn of Africa to Ceaser's Palace, Universal Studios Singapore to Zamba, New Mexico to Austrailia, Six Flags Magic Mountain to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Theme Park, The Coca-Cola Company to Universal Studios, Amercian Airlines to Japan Airlines and China Airlines, and the Gruman's Chinese Theatre. If you're fed up with violence and disrespect, then I suggest that you never hit or spank children even as discipline ever at all, even with things that are never suppose to be meant for hitting and spanking children. Goodbye.

Eye exam
It's so great to know that I can continue on my meds and that there are no adverse effects from taking them. It's sometimes worrying to be on daily medication, especially so young, but good to know I'm being monitored closely.
Also, as always I feel grateful for the good care provided to me for free by the NHS. So lucky to have this service!

Hi Squirrel - thanks for the reminder; I think I'm due my hydroxychloroquine eye exam soon too. Glad I checked in! :-)ReplyDelete
It's always so relieving to get news like that :) Living in Canada, I'm also thankful for my free health care!!ReplyDelete
haha, you're welcome Polly! hope everything's ok with the ol' peepersReplyDelete
Good news, always a relief afterwards! I need to get my eye exam too, keep forgetting it.ReplyDelete
It seems like you had a very good eye doctor, Squirrel! Lucky you! I think it is a must for people to have a qualified optometrist to check their eyes once in a while. A good optometrist will make sure that your vision is crystal clear. [Grant Weber]ReplyDelete
This is very good information.i think it's useful advice. really nice blog. keep it up!!!ReplyDelete

If you're a music fan of a certain age — say, perhaps, 41 — it may strike you as a bit disconcerting to listen to Derek Trucks talk about his kids. For there's a good chance that the first time you heard Trucks' name, he was an 11-year-old headlining act with an uncle in the Allman Brothers Band and an alarming talent for playing the blues. What the kid lacked in experience, he made up for in soul, favoring the slide-guitar style of his hero Duane Allman and none of the screaming, over-the-top theatrics typical of many young guitarists.
But that was then. Today, Trucks is a 33-year-old married father of two who laughs easily and often, particularly when looking back on the early years of his career and while discussing the challenges of raising children who appreciate John Lee Hooker and Otis Redding in the age of Katy Perry and One Direction. He shares this challenge with his wife, the singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, with whom he leads the Tedeschi Trucks Band, the 11-piece soul-blues act headlining this weekend's Sunshine Blues Festival in Boca Raton. Trucks spoke by phone from his home in Jacksonville, where the Tedeschi Trucks Band will reconvene next week to record its second studio album.
Last year, you performed at the White House as part of an all-star celebration of the blues. What can you tell me about that experience?
That was an amazing few days. There's something really amazing about thinking about the history of the blues and where it came from, thinking about B.B. [King] and Buddy [Guy], what they grew up in and the time period they grew up in, and then seeing them in the White House being honored. There was something really special about that.
One of my proudest moments as a parent was when my daughter, I think she was 7 at the time, we were at the first rehearsal, and I was pointing out all the musicians, like, "That's Mick Jagger. That's Jeff Beck. There's B.B., Buddy. That's Booker T. [Jones], who played on all the Otis records." And Sophia, my daughter, said, "That's the guy I want to meet. He played with Otis Redding?" I was like, "That is the guy you want to meet, actually." I just thought it was great. It wasn't about Mick Jagger or anybody else, not to take anything away from them, but Booker T. is kind of a diamond in the rough.
I imagine your kids hear a lot of the music you grew up with. How do they feel about pop music?
As a parent, you do everything you can to try to balance that. I mean, there's no doubt, they're inundated with it. I think my son keeps that stuff at arm's length maybe more than my daughter does. It's a really weird time for that. I mean, you look around at what young people are striving for these days and it's, I mean, I'm not that much older, but even going back to when I was growing up, I felt it was a lot better place to be.
Just last night, we were watching Joseph Campbell's ["The Power of Myth"], the Bill Moyers-PBS thing that came on maybe 20 years ago. We watched the first half-hour with the kids before they went to bed, and he's talking about heroes and "The Hero With a Thousand Faces" and all that humanity strives for. And it had me thinking about who the heroes are for this generation. And there's just so much stupid sh-- out there, and it's really kind of depressing. It makes you, as a parent, really have to work to explain the difference between somebody being a hero or famous for being a drunk or a whore, someone who won't even achieve something. And I think that's something you have to constantly be aware of.
But I'm pretty fortunate and blessed to have kids that have been exposed to things. I mean, they know the difference between Stevie Wonder and Miley Cyrus.
Still, it can be difficult to get away from certain pop songs, and every once in a while, you might say, "I don't mind that song." Will you admit to hearing a pop song and going, "OK, that one I can't get out of my head"?
I will not admit it. [Laughs] Actually, for the most part, we really do avoid any of that. I tell my kids, "Look, I'm not going to tell you what you can listen to. I will tell you what you can listen to in my house, in earshot of me."
What was it like to perform in clubs as a child?
That whole time period is a bit of a blur. I just remember some of the crazy rock clubs we would play. Looking back on it now, if you play that type of music, that's what you have to grow up doing. But I just can't imagine my 10-, 11-year-old kids in some of these places. But it was a hell of a learning experience, that's for sure. There are so many clubs that I think back on, and I'm like, "Those are just terrible places." But it makes you who you are.
So what's more difficult: corralling 11 musicians or raising 10- and 8-year-olds?
Eleven musicians, any day of the week. A lot of times, and myself included, musicians are kind of age shape-shifters. They can be full-blown adults one day and 8-year-olds the next. It's hard to plan for those things.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the Sunshine Blues Festival Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Mizner Park Amphitheater, 590 Plaza Real, in Boca Raton. The fest will begin at 11 a.m. Tickets cost $62.50. Go to SunshineBluesFestival.com.

Every year we end up with puppies. At least it's not entire litters like we used to get (knock on wood).
Names: Austin (red nose) & Dallas (blue nose)
Age: 9-10 weeks
Sex: male
Current weight: 19-20lbs
Estimated adult weight: 45-60lbs (give or take depending on mix)
Medical history: first round of puppy shots, bordatella, **WILL BE NEUTERED PRIOR TO ADOPTION**
Training: crate trained, leash trained, will need obedience training
Have been introduced to: cats, ferrets, small children, other dogs
Restrictions: Will not be adopted together or with another male dog in the home.
Requirements: must have previous dog owning experience, bully breed experience a plus. First time dog owners must do extensive research on dogs and Pit Bulls to be considered.
These boys were found on the side of a busy road along with a 9-10 month old Husky/Shepherd mix puppy (not related). The rescuer became the rescued in this case. She has taken on the role as surrogate mother to the boys and is super gentle with them and has done a good job teaching them manners and how to be gentle.
Dallas is outgoing and vocal, while Austin is sensitive and quiet, he gets his feelings hurt easily so it doesn't take much correction to make him stop doing something he shouldn't be.
They are available for adoption through Twyla's Friends. There will be an application, adoption fee, home visit, and vet check required.
Their rescuer, Bubbles

Yeah, I really shouldn't come to this section because one of these days there's going to be a dog available in the Alabama area and I'm not going to be forced to get them. And that would just be terrible . . .
Re: 2 Pit Bull mix PUPPIES for adoption
Austin has been adopted! As they've grown Austin maintained his Pit Bullish features, but now we're really starting to doubt Dallas having any Pit Bull in him. Must have had different dads. Bubbles was also adopted, now we just have Dallas left from the trio.
Re: 2 Pit Bull mix PUPPIES for adoption
Dallas has been adopted! However, Bubbles was returned. *sigh* We are going today to meet someone interested in her so keeping fingers crossed he falls in love.

Amazing Sales and Promo Codes At FinishLine.com
Finishline is one of the top online retailers for athletic shoes. If you venture on over to FinishLine.com you are going to see that they have various sales throughout the entire year. You will easily find the right shoe for you. You will also notice that these are not just small savings with a few dollars off a handful of products, but we are talking about a full blown sale where you can save as much as 70%. Surely that is enough to grab your attention, isn't it? Oh yeah, there is also a Finishline promo code available that can give you even better savings on top of those sale prices.
FinishLine Promo Code
If you purchase shoes worth $100 or more, then you qualify for a $10 discount. Just enter coupon 10MARCH100 at checkout.
Examples Of Current Items On Sale
So, just to really stress the point of how good their sales are we should mention just a few of the product areas where you can currently save yourself some cash along with the use of Finish Line coupon codes.
There are a whole host of shoes on sale in the men's department including Reebok Royal Lumina shoes down to only $19.98 from $40, so straight away there is a 50% saving. You don't need a discount for this. The sale applies directly once you visit the site.
There are other discounts from Nike with their Air Max 95 being reduced from $160 to $89.98 and that is close to a 50% saving as well. With a Finish Line discount code you can save even more. They also have sale prices on socks with Jordan socks having a saving of around 70% with them reduced from $16 to only $.98
There are hundreds of items on there and this is only a small example of what you can expect on their website.
The women's section is just as amazing. Take for example the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 3. This shoe was $200, but in the Finish Line sale it is now $84.98 so that is a saving of approximately 60%.
Or, how about the Reebok Z Goddess shoes now priced at $39.98 and reduced from $84? You have Adidas shoes, Nike, Puma, and so many others with savings ranging from around 20% to over 70% and it there is no doubt that there will be something there in the brand you love.
Finishline.com also has a number of deals available in their kids department and this is a real blessing when you think about how fast they can go through shoes at an early age. You are looking at being able to pick up a pair of Fila shoes for under $10. Reebok Reverse Jam at under $20, apparel with a Jordan fleece jacket for less than $20, socks, Adidas shoes at under $20, the list really is endless, but to make life easier you can search the sale items according to brand name just by clicking at the side of the page. Oh, and they also split it up into girls and boys just to make things even easier as well.
Basically, there are so many items on sale at FinishLine.com that there really is pretty much no reason to pay full price at any point. Finish Line promotion codes and sales do change, so the advice is to keep checking back to coupon sites like Retailmenot, as you never know how much money you are going to save. However, do keep in mind that you can use Finish Line discount codes on top of these sale prices and keep an eye out for the free shipping offer on certain products because surely keeping more money in your product whilst also getting the items you want is the perfect solution for everybody.

Feb. 16, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT women's track and field used its last competition prior to the postseason to establish another school record, secure another NCAA qualifier and set a slew of personal and season-bests. The Engineers put an Institute record in the 4x800-meter relay on the books in the non-scoring Co-Ed Invitational held at MIT's Shobrys and Aronson Indoor Track on Saturday in arguably the afternoon's biggest highlight.
With each runner competing in their only race of the day, the underclass quartet of Andrea Bradshaw, Adrienne Bolger, Kristen Aardsvold, and Jacqui Wentz led from the gun and clocked 9:38.11 for the win and record, easily breaking last year's mark of 9:41.68.
Leading a 1-2-3-4-5 sweep in the pole vault for MIT, Emily Hwang matched the NCAA Division III National qualifying standard after setting a career best with a clear of 11'3.75". All five student-athletes achieved career bests in the final results.
Amy Magnuson was just off her record-setting pace of last week in the 55-meter hurdles, but the sophomore star still won going away in a time of 8.39. Magnuson followed the effort by topping the field in the long jump with a leap of 16'11.5" while taking silver in the triple jump at 33'1.75".
Margaret Leibovic set a pair of lifetime bests in the sprint events, securing the third-fastest time in MIT history in the 55-meter dash (7.58) while placing third in the 200m in a time of 27.10.
Hazel Briner (55-meter hurdles, 9.59), Jennifer Doyle (mile, 5:23.20), Lynn Jepsen (pole vault, 9'3")and Sara Chen (pole vault, 8'9") earned their first spots in the New England Division III Indoor Championships to be held next week, while several others improved their entry seed.

TV weatherman Fred Talbot has pleaded not guilty to a series of historic sex offences.
The 64-year-old stood in the dock, hands clasped in front of him as he repeated "Not guilty" 10 times to each of the charges put to him at Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester.
Talbot, who was a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's This Morning, is accused of nine counts of indecent assault and one count of buggery.
The former teacher from Bowdon, south Manchester, is alleged to have committed the offences between October 25 1968 and August 2 1983 against five male complainants, three of whom were under 16.
Talbot, who is on bail, was seated in the dock for most of the 20-minute hearing, listening intently as lawyers set a date for his trial, scheduled for January 19 next year.
The first six charges are all indecent assaults, relating to one complainant, a boy aged under 16 at the time, and include alleged offences of masturbation, oral sex and digital penetration, all taking place between October 25 1969 and October 24 1970.
The remaining charges are: an allegation of indecent assault, by masturbation, on a male under 16, between January 1 1975 and December 31 1976; the same offence against another male under 16 between the same dates; and indecent assault by sexual touching on a fourth complainant between January 1 1977 and December 31 1977.
The final count of buggery is said to have occurred against the fifth complainant, aged under 21 at the time, on or around August 2 1983.
None of the complainants can be identified for legal reasons.
Judge Jeffrey Lewis granted Talbot bail until a further preliminary hearing on May 27.
Talbot nodded before leaving the dock as he was told he was free to go.
His bail conditions are that he must live at his home address, and that he has no contact with witnesses and alleged victims, nor any unsupervised contact with a child.

Ramping Up Security
Federal cloud providers have until June to comply with new uniform security controls so that multiple agencies can piggyback off the certifications for faster installation.
To more quickly slice $5 billion from the government's annual $80 billion information technology tab, the Obama administration in December 2011 released requirements for expediting cloud security approvals. Protecting remotely managed data in the cloud has been a stumbling block for some federal managers. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, known as FedRAMP, aims to guarantee a vendor's goods adhere to baseline controls so that any agency can immediately deploy the services without reassessing a product's safety.
Recycling accreditations is expected to save the government 30 percent to 40 percent in testing and procurement costs, says federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel. "Cloud computing has become an integral part of the government's DNA," he says. "One of the main challenges that people have identified is around security and using security as a barrier to entry around cloud computing."
If FedRAMP can't meet an agency's cloud security needs, then the agency must report to the White House the reasons why for each service and offer alternative approaches. The Obama administration will create a secure online repository for agencies to share boilerplate contract language on products that already have gone through the FedRAMP process.
Most national security systems, some of which are classified, are exempt from the program.
- Aliya Sternstein
Time to Share
Agencies must create plans to move at least two agency-specific information technology services to shared interagency platforms by the end of 2012, according to a draft strategy from federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel.
The draft strategy also requires agency IT leaders to assess what's working and what isn't in their shared services by March and shift "the 'default setting' for IT investment decisions from the development of new components to the utilization of existing resources."
That means new IT projects should be built with standardized architectures so that they can be easily converted to process work across different agencies. The government has more than 200 planning and budgeting IT systems, plus more than 275 human resources systems and more than 300 financial management systems.
According to the strategy, "as it stands, agency IT investments are so highly specialized and difficult to integrate with one another that it is often less expensive to acquire a new proprietary system than to share existing systems."
- Joseph Marks
Foreign Affairs
Investigations into potential security risks posed by foreign takeovers of U.S. companies, including many information technology firms, have increased 23 percent in recent years.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States evaluates security implications of planned transactions that would result in foreign powers gaining significant influence over domestic firms. American companies voluntarily report their dealings, so the findings may not reflect all transfers.
- Aliya Sternstein
Made in China
In November 2011, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said he would add an amendment to the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act that would require Customs and Border Protection inspectors to examine all Chinese electronic components before they enter the country, based on reports that the Defense supply chain is infested with bum parts from China.
The law signed by President Obama in December does contain language on counterfeit parts, but not exactly the bold steps that Levin promised. The law calls for the Homeland Security Department to develop a "risk-based methodology" to target suspicious electronic parts—a process that seems several steps removed from Customs agents stopping them at the border.
And how long will it take to develop the risk-based methodology, a buzz phrase that I imagine will take at least one contract to develop?

I hope they don't visit Indonesia again. Horrible legs and overused tbh.

TBH TAR 22's Bali Leg was really good. But I do agree it's overused. Can we add in no China, India and Japan as well.We need places like Maldives, Philippines (BORACAY, CEBU), THE MANY PARTS OF AUSTRALIA NOT VISITED (MELBOURNE, GOLD COAST, TASMANIA ETC) and places like Madagascar, Mongolia or exotic locations that has only been visited once.If they are really have to go to China, they better be going to really scenic locations like Jiu Zhai Gou and not urban cities..
Brenchel vs. McCranda on this season would be the greatest thing for TAR
Only Jeff & Jordan have been gracefully placed on TAR.

Easter Sunday
B cycle
Reading 1.Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Reading II. Colossians 3: 1-4 or
1 Corinthians 5: 6b-8
Gospel. John 20: 1-9 (Easter).
The Church uses many different readings on Easter. The Vigil Mass has seven readings from the Old Testament; St. Paul's famous letter to the Romans--"Christ raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over Him;" and St. Mark's account of the empty tomb. In the afternoon Mass we will have the account of the risen Lord's appearance to the disciples on the road to Emmaus.
This morning's Mass, however, begins with a reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Peter is preaching. Remember how prominently Peter appeared in the readings during Holy Week. Last Sunday he told Jesus that he would follow Him to prison, even to death. But our Lord predicted that Peter would deny Him three times before the cock crows. Peter's subsequent denial is one of the few things reported in all four gospels.
Today it's a different Peter. He gives as good an account of the life and work of Jesus as you will find anywhere. Then he bears witness to His Resurrection,
This man God raised on the third day and granted
that He be visible...to us,...
who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
Finally, he makes the claim "that everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins through His name."
However, it's easy to imagine that Peter might have felt differently after the death of Jesus. He didn't know how the story was going to come out. What was there to believe? As St. John says in today's gospel, "they did not yet understand the Scripture that He had to rise from the dead." Not only had his Lord been brutally tortured and killed, but Peter had also turned his back on Jesus. He especially could have no hope of a resurrection or new day. Wouldn't Peter think that his own sin, his own lack of faith, could never be forgiven?
Then Mary Magdalene comes rushing in on the first Easter Sunday morning to tell them that the tomb is empty. Fearing that the Lord's body had been stolen Peter and John race to the tomb only to find the burial cloths neatly rolled up with no evidence of foul play. St. John tells us that "he saw and believed." St. Luke tells us that Peter was "amazed."
Is this why we're all here today on this Easter Sunday morning? Are we all here today to peer inside the empty tomb? The empty tomb itself means nothing. As St. Mark said last night, "He has been raised; he is not here." It's His appearances that matter. Over the next fifty days we'll hear about all of His appearances. He'll appear to Mary Magdalene in the garden; to the disciples on the road to Emmaus; to the Apostles in the upper room; to doubting Thomas; to the fishermen in Galilee; and to countless other witnesses. Finally, His Holy Spirit will come upon them at Pentecost..
As we listen to these witnesses we'll have to examine our own belief. After all, St. Paul said that "if Christ is not risen, our faith is in vain." In other words if Christ is not risen, there will be no resurrection for us. However, maybe some of us feel like we're in the same position as Peter. Maybe doubts have crept in, maybe we're too secure, maybe something has caused us to deny our Lord and turn our backs on Him.
The only way to rekindle our faith is to act differently. We have to realize that like the Apostles we are called to be witnesses of the Risen Christ. St. Paul calls us the "yeast" that leavens the dough. In our own little way each of us is called to bring Christ to each other. Last week during the reading of the Passion, our Lord said to Peter;
Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded
to sift all of you like wheat,
but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail;
and once you have turned back,
you must strengthen your brothers.
The little Albanian nun who became Mother Teresa did not wait for someone else to pick up that little deserted child in the street and bathe his sores. She saw the Risen Christ in him and in all the others she helped. Did the young Polish priest who became John Paul II ever imagine when he took his first vows that he would bring the Risen Christ to more people than all the previous Popes put together?
The word "Easter" comes from a Germanic goddess of spring. Latin peoples use the word pasqua from the Jewish pasch or Passover. When the Germanic peoples were converted the Church wisely associated the word for Springtime with the feast of the Risen Lord. All around us new life is springing from the dead of winter. And so, as St. Paul says,
let us celebrate the feast,
not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Fox Decides To Drive Fans To Piracy, Rather Than Giving Legitimate Options
from the um,-that-doesn't-work dept
The whole article linked above is ridiculous. Even the title is wrong. It says:
"Fox Network to limit Web access to its shows."But that's wrong. People still will have plenty of access... just from unauthorized sources. Then there's this quote from Michael Hopkins, the president of affiliate sales and marketing for Fox Networks:
"We are continually looking at opportunities to provide our pay television distributors with content and products that enhance the value of pay television to subscribers,"I'm somewhat surprised this even needs to be explained in this day and age, but taking away features and locking them up does not "enhance the value" to anyone. This is the sort of thing lots of companies stupidly do. Rather than actually increasing value, they take away value from one set of people, and pretend that means they've increased value for others. Except, it doesn't work that way. All it really does is piss off all the people you just took value away from.

DeVito Nets Game-Winner
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The first win of the season for the Yale women's lacrosse team came in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion Saturday afternoon against Marist at Reese Stadium. The Bulldogs fell behind 7-3 in the first half, and after they rallied to tie the game at seven in the second half the Red Foxes briefly re-took the lead 8-7. But Yale scored the final four goals of the game, including the game-winner from freshman attacker Jen DeVito with 6:51 to play, for an 11-8 win.
The first half was dominated by runs from each team. The Bulldogs started out with a 3-1 advantage thanks to goals from sophomore midfielder Kelsea Smith, junior attacker Caroline Crow and sophomore midfielder Devon Rhodes, who buried a feed from senior defender Mahi Trivellas in transition at 19:31 to put the Bulldogs up by two.
But Marist (2-3, 0-0 MAAC) answered with a six-goal run that put the Red Foxes up 7-3. Marist's seventh goal was a particularly frustrating one, as a shot by midfielder Jori Procaccini bounced in off the post as part of her four-goal day.
But Rhodes, en route to a four-goal day of her own, started answering back for Yale late in the second half. A pair of goals from her in the final 3:12 pulled Yale within 7-5 at halftime.
One key adjustment Yale made midway through the first half was having Rhodes take the draws, and she made that pay dividends right at the start of the second half. She won the draw to herself, raced down and scored just 11 seconds in to get Yale within 7-6.
"The most important goal of the game was that one at the beginning of the second half," said Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse. "Devon drew it to herself, shot and scored. That set the tone for the second half."
A save by junior goalie Whitney Quackenbush on a Marist free-position shot was followed by a clear from senior defender Fielding Kidd, and that enabled Crow to tie the game at seven with 19:23 left.
Quackenbush denied another Marist free position with 15:30 to play, but a minute later the Red Foxes caught Yale in transition for a goal by midfielder Jamie Romano.
Free positions then swung momentum back in Yale's favor. First one by Procaccini hit the post. Then, senior attacker Myra Trivellas scored on one to tie the score with 8:21 to play.
The game-winner came after senior midfielder Logan Greer caused a turnover and freshman midfielder Adrienne Tarver grabbed the ground ball. That enabled Crow to set up DeVito to put Yale up 9-8.
Playing with a lead late in the game for the first time, the Bulldogs retained their composure. Senior midfielder Kaitlyn Flatley got the draw after DeVito's goal, and Yale worked some time off the clock before Crow drove in to complete her hat trick with 5:21 to play. Smith then got the draw and Yale began running down the clock. Marist got a turnover but was unable to complete the clear, and with Red Foxes goalie Ashley Casiano out of position freshman midfielder Ashley McCormick could not resist the temptation to shoot, putting one in to the empty net to make it 11-8 with 2:15 to play. Rhodes got the final draw, helping seal the victory.
"Towards the end, our goal was to possess the ball for a good period of time and then score," said Phillips. "Using the clock and then scoring is something we consistently talk about. Today was our first chance to get some game experience in the stall. We did not execute it beautifully, but we did execute it well enough."
Rhodes now has eight goals against Marist in the last two years, both Yale wins.
Yale had a season-high 26 shots Saturday, and had fewer turnovers than its opponent (12, compared to 15 for Marist) for the first time all year.
"We got some good scoring opportunities, and had a better shooting percentage than we have had recently," said Phillips. "We'd like to cut our turnovers down to the 9-to-11 per game range, and we're getting closer to that. Part of that comes from the fact that we've played some of the top teams in the country in the early part of the season."
The win gives Yale (1-4, 0-1 Ivy League) some much-needed momentum heading into a crucial game next Saturday at No. 4 Penn, the defending Ivy League champion.
"It was good to come from behind and get a win," said Phillips. "We still have some work to do."

NFL Ramps Up Security Theatre
from the don't-fumble-my-junk dept
But that won't keep the NFL from trying, damn it.
Dementia writes in about a Yahoo Sports post describing the new breakthrough security technique at NFL games this year: pat-downs. That's right, the NFL is going to solve security at their games by somehow patting down seventy thousand people as they enter stadiums within roughly an hour's length of time. No, the pat-downs won't be done by federal employees, just low-paid yellow jacket-wearing folks (seriously, click the article and look at the picture, it's awesome). No there aren't any metal detectors or machine screeners a la the airport. Basically, no, these security measurements won't make anyone more...you know...secure. As Chris Chase notes:
"As far as I can tell, the only purpose gate security has is to create a mass of humanity at the entrances and comb through women's purses. The pat downs are jokes. Security personnel only checked from the waist up. If they felt anything in your pocket, their most likely recourse was to ask, "what's that?" A halfway-decent answer got you a pass."And, as Chris also notes, if you think these measures are stupid now, just wait until the weather turns. I can just picture myself walking up to Soldier Field on a January morning in Chicago, seven layers deep between regular undergarments, long-underwear, longsleeve t-shirt, t-shirt, hoodie sweatshirt, down-insulated winter jacket, and my lovely Where's Waldo-esque scarf to tie it all together, and giving these security types a sideways glance as they attempt to pat me down. I could carry a 1967 Buick Skylark in my pants and they'd never feel it.
Why can't we stop this? Who are the NFL playing to with this nonsense? I'd like to think my fellow citizens and football consumers aren't so totally devoid of intelligence that they can't see how pointless and annoying this all is.

Jan. 16, 2008
NEW LONDON, Conn. - Despite opening the game with a strong offensive run that appeared to leave Coast Guard reeling, MIT endured long stretches in both halves without scoring and the Bears broke into the win column in NEWMAC play with a 64-58 victory. Coast Guard scored 18 second-chance points and finished plus-nine on the glass.
The Engineers (9-6, 1-2) hit their first three shots from beyond the arc and jumped out to a 9-0 lead. The Cardinal and Gray connected on its first five three-pointers, the fifth by Will Mroz which pushed MIT in front, 19-7, with 14:17 left in the first half.
Coast Guard (10-3, 1-2) responded to the Engineers' explosive start by piecing together a 23-3 run, including 15 straight points, to take a 30-22 lead with 2:47 left in the first half. Billy Johnson's three at 1:54 marked only MIT's second field goal since Mroz capped the Engineers' early boost over 13 minutes earlier. Coast Guard led 33-27 at the break.
The Bears, which led by as many as 17 in the second half after a three by Grant Johnson put CGA ahead 47-30 with 14:29 left in the game, saw MIT cut the deficit to just four at 56-52 with 2:40 left. Trailing 61-56 with 32 seconds remaining in regulation, MIT's 17th turnover of the contest eliminated any thought of a comeback as Coast Guard held on to snap a three-game losing streak.
Senior Grant Johnson led all scorers with 17 points, as he hit four three-pointers, including the 200th of his career. Senior Jeff Prebeck had 15 points to go with his team-high six rebounds while classmate Al Sowers added 12 points.
Junior Jimmy Bartolotta, the NEWMAC's leading scorer at 25.8 points per game, led MIT with 15 points despite being held over 10 points under his scoring average for the second straight game. Junior Hamidou Soumare added 12 points and a game-high seven rebounds while senior Will Mroz was also in double figures for the Engineers with 10 points. Bartolotta added three steals and two blocks in the losing effort while junior Bradley Gampel totaled a game-best eight assists and added two steals to his league-leading total.
Coast Guard shot 47.9 percent from the field (23-of-48) and a sizzling 52.6 percent from three-point range (10-of-19) while MIT shot 43.5 percent from both the field (20-of-46) and three-point territory (10-of-23).

FORTUNE — Mark Zuckerberg donated Facebook shares worth $500 million to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a non-profit organization that works with donors to allocate funds according to their interests. The gift is the largest ever received by the foundation, which finances projects locally and around the world, and Zuckerberg said he planned to focus his giving in health and education.
Zuckerberg announced the gift in a post on Facebook, where he noted that he and his wife Priscilla Chan had previously signed the Giving Pledge, an effort led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to encourage billionaires to donate most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. In 2010, Zuckerberg pledged to donate $100 million in Facebook (FB) shares to an effort to improve public education in Newark, New Jersey.
"Today, in order to lay the foundation for new projects, we've made a contribution of 18 million Facebook shares to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation," Zuckerberg wrote. At Tuesday's closing price of $27.71, the shares are worth $498 million. "Together, we will look for areas in education and health to focus on next. I'm hopeful we'll be able to have as positive an impact in our next set of projects," Zuckerberg wrote.
In a statement, Emmett Carson, CEO of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation said: "Mark's generous gift will change lives and inspire others in Silicon Valley and around the globe to give back and make the world a better place. We are pleased and honored that he has chosen to continue to partner with us to help him achieve his philanthropic goals."

text: Fiscal Fitness: Assess Technology April 1, 2014 09:52 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor Greg Steele is vice president, dairy industry, for AgStar Financial Services. He can be reached at greg.steele@ agstar.com. When considering an investment in a new technology for your dairy business, the first step is to figure out how the change will affect your operation's profitability. A good method to determine an impact on the profitability of your business is a partial budget. This simple and efficient tool can help you define the financial impact of incremental changes. A partial budget helps you segment and analyze the costs that will change and assume other costs such as feed costs or crop production costs will remain unaffected. Partial budgets are built on the theory that small changes can have meaningful results. When beginning this exercise, it's vital to include all income and expense items that will be affected by the change. For example, if milk production is expected to increase, then revenues will increase. If you use less feed, feed costs will likely go down. A partial budget analysis provides you with an easy-to-see, side-by-side comparison. Done correctly, a partial budget will help you see how the proposed technology could influence your dairy's income and/or expenses. Will your income increase or decrease? Will your expenses rise or fall? A partial budget can provide the answers. Let's examine the following theoretical situation: A new technology that is quickly gaining acceptance is a cow sensor monitoring system that provides data via your mobile phone. For this example, we'll compare the technology's claimed benefit of improving reproductive efficiency with improved conception and pregnancy rate while simultaneously reducing drug and hormone therapy costs in the dairy herd. Also assume the herd size in question is 500 head and the cost to install and implement is $200 per cow for a total of $100,000. The herd presently has a pregnancy rate of 20% and a heat detection rate of 55%. Currently, the herd uses a timed AI program for breeding.

Extended comments are highlighted in blue The projected annual savings are as follows: Drugs costs will be reduced $12 per cow and labor costs will go down $60 per cow. It is also anticipated that heat detection will increase to 65% with a pregnancy rate increase to 24%. This improvement is expected to lower the days in milk from 185 to 175. We will assume the economic value of this change is $5 per cow per days in milk or $25,000 in added income. OK, let's run the numbers as we should have all the information we need to create a partial budget on this. The analysis assumes that reducing days in milk will add an estimated $25,000 in milk revenue. Additional changes to net income occur from reduced drug and labor costs by $36,000, for a total net income increase of $61,000. In this situation, there would be no decrease in net income. The cost of the sensors, however, is a consideration. We can reasonably spread the $100,000 cost of these devices over a three-year useful life and, as such, include one-third of the investment cost, $33,333, plus interest costs of $3,300 in the budget. This analysis illustrates that adoption of the technology will result in an annual net benefit of $24,367. Additionally, the entire investment is paid for in less than 24 months, bringing future years' potential benefits even higher. The key to this analysis is using realistic assumptions on economic benefits of the expected changes. Remember, this budgeting process can only estimate the potential financial results, not guarantee them. A good practice is to repeat the analysis, inputing different price assumptions, as this will provide you with an idea about the degree of risk that is involved when considering a change. All in all, partial budgeting can be a very helpful method when analyzing the benefits of investing in new technology. This systematic approach can assist the dairy manager in making informed financial decisions. Back to news

Just watched the show. I can't believe JT went along with Coach and Tyson instead of with Brenden. HOW STUPID!!!! Now that he's seen the show, he's probably kicking himself. I know I would be!!!! I want SO BADLY to see Coach and Tyson out. Tired of their blowing off about themselves!!!
