This was coming. If there was Instagram for photos and Vine for videos, what about audio? Going by the looks of it, mblog for iPhone could just be the answer.
Dubbed mblog as short for "music blog", mblog is an iPhone app that lets you share snippets of audio – voice recordings, songs, audio tracks, other music etc. with your friends and network. It's basically voice microblog for smartphones.
Music blogging isn't new. We have had a lot of blogging services offer audio blogging capabilities (Tumblr, Soundcloud etc.) but as a micro-blogging platform, music or audio hasn't been in focus.
It's a brand new app and obviously, it's not yet the talk of the town but if it can score, it might very well be a great way to socialize through song snippets, music bits, voice recordings and more.
mblog is not designed to be a communcation app like Whatsapp or Viber where you can send voice snippets. On the contrary, mblog is inclined towards a social platform – like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter – but solely for all your music snippets.
mblog lets you record anything from within the app: you can record your voice, a podcast playing elsewhere, a snippet out of a song (or the whole song if you must), or even any sound for that matter. The whole process is very simple (in fact, over-simplified) because all you is tap and hold to record, release to share.
There are no annotations to be added to what you share: it just gets shared on your profile which your friends can view. Your share appears on their news feed and the usual flavors of social interaction – likes/favorites, comments – are all a part of the app.
mblog's app description also points out that it could be a great platform for beginner-artists who wish to put their music / work out there for their friends to validate. mblog is in every way the essential microblogging platform for audio snippets. It's the Instagram for songs and audio recordings.

Comp-Contr Body Outline.avi - Section 2: Building Knowledge
Outlining Does a Body Good
Lesson 2 of 5
Objective: SWBAT use a planning tool to outline the first body paragraph before drafting.
Do Now
In this unit, my students are working on comparing and contrasting two characters from "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry and "The Necklace," but Guy de Maupassant. Today for the "Do Now" I am only asking my students to take out all of the documents that we will need to work on our body paragraphs today: their Venn Diagrams with thesis statements, outline and the introduction that they wrote last class. I will give them a few moments to retrieve these documents from their immaculately organized notebooks (wink). Next, I will explain to my students that we will be using these documents to draft at least one of the body paragraphs in class today (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2b).
Building Knowledge
For this part of the lesson, I will model a way of completing a thorough outline of the first body paragraph of the comparison contrast essay that will help them with a structure for the rest of their body paragraphs. I am providing them with an outline on the SmartBoard to help them. I am choosing to give them this outline because it went well during our last writing assignment, and it helped the students stay focused on the topic and helped ensure that they were using and explaining their textual evidence (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.9).
During this process, I will be sure to show them where I got the topic for my first body paragraph (from the three topics listed in the thesis statement). This will be a good time to show them how a thesis is the road map to an essay. It tells the writer exactly which ideas are first, middle, and last. I'll also show them how and where their textual evidence should be placed in the outline. This video shows how I work through the outlining process for my students.

Application: Outlining
After modeling the outlining process, I will give students 20 minutes to work on the outline for their first body paragraph. I am giving them class time to work on this outline because I will require that they get approval of this part from me before they start drafting out the actual paragraph. This will give them a fighting chance of doing it right the first time.
Here's a sample of a student's outline with textual evidence for her first body paragraph:
Student Body Paragraph1 Outline
While some students are writing, I will give some struggling students the option of sitting with me at the small group table so that I can guide them through the process step by step. This is also the place where students will convene when they have finished their outline drafts to get approval to start writing. At some point, I will have seen each students' outline before they write, and I'll be a little exhausted!

Resources (1)
After students have gained my approval to move forward, I will ask them to draft the body paragraph(CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2) on the same page that they wrote their introductions. Again, I will need to remind them that all evidence needs to support analysis/explanations,(CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.9) of their topics, so I should not see any paragraphs that end with quotes from the text. I will also remind them that their topic sentence should be related to the first topic mentioned in their thesis statements. I'm really excited to see what these drafts will look like to determine whether the way that I am teaching this works. I think I'll cross my fingers and toes for this one!
This piece of student work shows a student's first body paragraph, developed from an outline.

Closure and Homework
For the closure activity today, I'll ask my students to share their drafts with a partner. I am asking them to share because this is only the first body paragraph, and they will need all the feedback they can get in order to do the same type of writing twice more when they write body paragraphs two and three. This also gives my students a chance to evaluate their partner's use of evidence (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.3) in this first draft.
For homework, I will ask students to write at least one more body paragraph (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2) using the same format as the first body paragraph. They don't necessarily need to outline it out in the detail that we did the first one, but it should include all of the elements. I am having them do some of the writing at home because the product will tell me whether I can release them to do more independent writing assignments.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Cragane Early OriginsThe surname Cragane was first found in Ayrshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), formerly a county in the southwestern Strathclyde region of Scotland, that today makes up the Council Areas of South, East, and North Ayrshire. Criagie is a village, in the parish of Dalmeny, county of Linlithgow. "It is in the eastern part of the parish, and in its vicinity is Craigie Hall, formerly the residence and estate of the Craigies, an ancient and considerable family. One of them was a witness to the original charter granted to the first laird of Dundas in the year 1120." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. The Barony of Craigie is a Scottish feudal Crown barony near Dundee and there are two other locals named Craigie: a hamlet in the parish of Caputh; and a village, in the East parish of the city and county of Perth. The latter is home "of the old castle of Craigie" [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Cragane Spelling VariationsCragane Spelling VariationsIn Medieval times, spelling and translation were not nearly so highly developed as today. They were generally carried out according to the sound and intuition of the bearer. For that reason spelling variations are extremely common among early Scottish names. Cragane has been spelled Craigie, Craiggie, Craggy, Cragye, Criggie, Cragyn and many more. Cragane Early HistoryCragane Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Cragane research. Another 335 words (24 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1317, 1387, 1640, 1400, 1688, 1760, 1742, 1747 and 1754 are included under the topic Early Cragane History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationUnrest, poverty, and persecution caused thousands to look for opportunity and freedom in the North American colonies. The crossing was long, overcrowded, and unsanitary, though, and came only at great expense. Many Strathclyde families settled on the east coast of North America in communities that would form the backbone of what would become the great nations of the United States and Canada. The American War of Independence caused those who remained loyal to England to move north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In the 20th century, Strathclyde and other Scottish families across North America began to recover their collective heritage through highland games and Clan societies. Among them: James Craigie who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1729; Margaret Craigie settled in Savannah Georgia in 1774. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators' roll call attendance records for the 2012 session through August 24.
THE HOUSE AND SENATE. There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators' roll call attendance records for the 2012 session through August 24.
The Senate has held 179 roll call votes in 2012. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator was present and voting and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record.
Only 13 of the Senate's 39 members have 100 percent roll call attendance records.
The worst roll call attendance record belongs to Sen. Frederick Berry (D-Peabody), who missed 101 roll calls (43.5 percent attendance) because of an illness.
The second worst record belongs to Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover), who missed 52 roll calls (70.9 percent attendance) because of the death of his sister.
The percentage listed next to the senator's name is the percentage of roll call votes for which the senator was present and voting. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that the senator missed.
Sen. Michael Rush 89.9 % (18)
WITNESS INTIMIDATION (H 3977) - The House gave initial approval to a bill that would broaden the current state law that makes it a felony to threaten and intimidate witnesses involved in pending cases. The bill would expand the law by applying it to cases that have been adjudicated and closed.
Supporters said the current loophole allows a person who threatens someone when the case is closed to be charged with only a misdemeanor. They argued it is not fair to have this loophole that jeopardizes the safety of witnesses once a case is closed.
PARENTS WHO KILL THEIR SPOUSES (H 454) - The House gave initial approval to a bill that would terminate the parental rights of any person convicted of killing their spouse unless there is proof of past physical, sexual or psychological abuse committed by the deceased parent against the convicted parent. The rights could also be granted to the convicted parent if the child is deemed "competent" and wants to continue to have a relationship with the parent.
Supporters said it is outrageous to require children to continue an unwanted relationship with a parent who killed the other parent. They argued these kids are traumatized enough and should not be forced to visit the killer in jail.
ALLOW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS TO BREAK THEIR APARTMENT LEASE (S 2402) - The House gave initial approval to a bill allowing victims of domestic violence to break their apartment lease without a penalty if they notify the owner in writing that they or a member of their household is a victim of domestic violence, rape, sexual assault or stalking.
Supporters said the measure is designed to help victims move if their assailant knows where they are living. The measure also requires owners to change the tenant's exterior locks if the tenant or occupants reasonably believe they are in danger.
REDUCE DRUG ABUSE (S 2122) - Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law a bill aimed at cracking down on the abuse of prescription drugs in Massachusetts. The measure requires all doctors to register with the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, a statewide electronic database that collects data on prescriptions dispensed in the state. Currently, participation is voluntary, and only 1,700 of 40,000 prescribers have signed up.
Supporters say the program is aimed at preventing potential abusers from "doctor shopping" -- obtaining multiple prescriptions from several doctors who are unaware that another physician has already prescribed the medication.
Other provisions include requiring pharmacies to notify local police when reporting theft or loss of drugs; requiring doctors to use tamper-proof pads to write prescriptions; and banning possession, distribution and manufacture of "bath salts," synthesized stimulants disguised as a therapeutic mineral.
VIOLATIONS OF MINIMUM WAGE LAW (S 924) - The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would increase from two years to three years the statute of limitations for bringing a suit against an employer for violating the minimum wage or overtime pay law. This change would match the state's current three-year statute of limitations for filing suit for nonpayment of wages.
Supporters said this pro-worker bill would further protect the rights of employees and bring Massachusetts into line with current federal laws.
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
During the week of August 20-24, the House met for a total of one hour and 19 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 51 minutes.
Mon. August 20 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:27 a.m.
Senate 11:13 a.m. to 11:20 a.m.

Christianity Doesn't Require Blind Trust
Discernment and judgment must come first.
Ask parents how they determine whom to trust with their children, and they'll probably struggle to put it into words. Some go by a gut feeling. Some instinctively assume others—especially other Christians—are trustworthy until they somehow demonstrate that they are not.
But many of us have learned firsthand how our intuitions can be way off. In my life, people I didn't think twice about proved to be morally questionable, even dangerous. According to Henry Cloud and John Townsend, the popular Christian therapists and authors of Safe People, our inability to judge character leads us to welcome "destructive people" in our lives.
I recognize this can be an unsettling possibility for us to discuss, especially as parents, but it's important we consider that even people who appear safe and friendly can threaten our families. Take the latest example in the headlines: smiley Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, who has been charged with (and agreed to plead guilty to) having sex with minors and possessing child pornography. In recently released recordings, Fogle describes approach to luring children into sexual relationships with him.
Anna Salter, a clinical psychologist and an expert in treating sex offenders, explains that most people find it easier to believe that someone experienced an "aberration" of character, as opposed having planned and plotted to victimize children. But more often than not, the reality is the opposite: Like Fogle, most sexual predators set up and plan out scenarios of abuse. More than 750,000 registered sex offenders live in the United States, and that doesn't account for those whose crimes have not been discovered.
Among these offenders are people …
The Biblical Minimum and Maximum Age of the Earth
The biblical minimum and maximum age of the earth
by Chris Hardy and Robert Carter
Careful consultation with the biblical record reveals a series of timespans linking creation to the Crucifixion. As a thought experiment, we combined these timespans to estimate the minimum and maximum allowable date of creation. Our goal was not to contradict the existing body of literature on the subject, but to put constraints on what is and is not biblically allowable. Implied precision and potential cultural differences (e.g. calendar systems, birthday conventions, and rounding conventions) mean we cannot pinpoint the age of the earth to a single year, yet the accumulated imprecision from those sources is limited to a maximum range of 308 years. Even including textual variants and debates over interpretation does not allow for dates approaching 10,000, let alone billions of years of Earth history. Accounting for all presently known relevant details and assuming the Babylonian Captivity began in 587 or 586 BC, we can say with confidence that the Bible places limits on the year of creation between 5665 and 3822 BC. The uncertainty within this range is mainly driven by textual considerations. The Masoretic/LXX debate creates a 1,326-year dichotomy, the Long vs Short Sojourn positions differ by 215 years, and various interpretations of the lists of the kings of Judah and Israel equates to around 54 years of additional uncertainty. Christians should avoid dogmatic claims of dating precision greater than intended by the Bible that could be refuted with new evidence, causing some to mistakenly believe the Bible itself has been refuted. Yet the combined tally of all the available data gives us fairly tight constraints on the age of the earth.
Using the Bible to estimate the date of creation has a long and rich history. The early Church Fathers put numbers on it, as did scientific greats like Sir Isaac Newton (about 4000 BC) and Johannes Kepler (3992 BC). The great academic and Archbishop James Ussher's date of 'Oct 23, 4004ct 23, 4004
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
Izbrano poglavje ne obstaja!
WP-Bible plugin BC' is perhaps the most famous estimated date in history, although he has been much maligned by scoffers in recent years.
Most scholars veered away from biblical fidelity in the 19th and 20th centuries and very few seemed interested in mining the Bible for chronological details. In more recent years, however, the pages of this journal have been filled with many contributions on the subject….
Knowing God, and the The Fear of the Lord
"'"The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom"'" (Job 28:28Job 28:28 English: King James Version (1611) - KJV 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. WP-Bible plugin). Being wise begins with knowing God. The fear of the Lord is the most basic idea related to wisdom and is the key to understanding it. The Book of Proverbs especially teaches us that the fear of the Lord is inextricably linked to wisdom: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Prov. 1:7Prov. 1:7 The link between fear of the Lord and wisdom is also evident in Proverbs 9:10Proverbs 9:10 What does it mean to fear God? It's a reverential trust, or simply another way of describing saving faith. We begin to be wise when we revere God and trust in Him. When an Old Testament saint wanted to evangelize, he might have said, "Fear God!" When you read in the Bible of people fearing God or that fearing God is linked to wisdom, that means a person can't even begin to be wise until he is first converted. Fearing God is the initiation of a life of faith. As long as a person has only human wisdom, he can't know God or true wisdom. The fear of the Lord is your entrance to wisdom. It will prolong your life, fulfill your life, enrich your life—it is your life (cf. Prov. 10:27Prov. 10:27 Suggestions for Prayer Praise God for His wisdom by which you are so abundantly blessed. For Further Study God's wisdom enriches our life and gives us proper values and instruction. Read Proverbs 10:1-12Proverbs 10:1-12 From Strength for Today by Copyright © 1997.

The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO, was branded the "bathroom bill" by opponents who feared accommodation of transgender individuals would give men, including sexual predators, the right to use women's restrooms in public.
Conservative Christian congregations in the area rallied and prayed against HERO as a violation of their beliefs on gender identity.
"Biology and the Bible show us that there's a difference between men and women," said Gregg Matte, pastor of Houston's First Baptist Church. "In order to keep men out of women's locker rooms, I want to encourage you to vote 'no' to Proposition 1 (HERO)."
Ed Young, pastor of Second Baptist Church, called the ordinance "a very serious moral issue" that could potentially open the city up to godlessness. "It has been reported that we discriminate," he told his church. "If we open up our facilities so that someone can choose … those of us who believe that men should use men's facilities and women's facilities, we will be discriminated against."
Opponents raised nearly $3 million to campaign against the law, more than triple the supporters' fundraising efforts, according to the Houston Chronicle. A popular commercial by the anti-HERO group Campaign for Houston depicted a man sneaking into a stall with a young girl, saying even registered sex offenders would be granted the right to follow women into bathrooms.
"They just kept spewing an ugly wad of lies from our TV screens and from …
What I Learned From Being a Vegas Call Girl
Hookers for Jesus founder, Annie Lobert: Lamar Odom news is just a glimpse at the industry's brokenness.
Editor's note: When Annie Lobert first heard that former NBA player Lamar Odom was found unconscious during his two-day, $75,000 stay in a Nevada brothel, she thought back to her own days as a call girl in Vegas.
She saw the darker side of fame whenever athletes and celebrities hired her as an escort. They drank, got high, and watched porn; their wealth didn't buy happiness, but only offered more extravagant opportunities to clamor for fulfillment, she said.
While some assume women working for escort services and legal brothels like Love Ranch (where Odom was found) get into the industry freely, Lobert points out in her autobiography, Fallen, that many of them still operate under the authority of a pimp. Even these setups can function as a form of sex trafficking in which women do not receive the money they make and cannot leave the arrangement without consequences.
Lobert, founder and president of the ministry Hookers for Jesus, shares this reflection on her life as an escort as a reminder of the darkness and brokenness wrapped up in both sides of sex work in Las Vegas. The following is an adapted excerpt from her autobiography.
I could barely contain my excitement. Even though I hadn't slept in more than 24 hours, I was wide-awake, running on the adrenaline of making so much money my first night in this gambling and party mecca.
The Strip was calm as we made our way home. The sun shone as yawning tourists headed to the famous breakfast buffets. We purred down the street in her sports car. I feasted on the sights of more hotels and casinos than I had ever seen.
When we walked in the door, our boyfriends were watching TV on the black leather couch. Clicking her heels on the white tiled floor, …
Annie Lobert is a survivor of more than a decade of sex trafficking—working as an exotic dancer and a high-class escort prostituted in Hawaii, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas. She is an internationally recognized expert and advocate of ministry to men and women in the commercial sex industry. She and her husband, Oz Foxx, lead guitarist for the rock band Stryper, live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Making Sense of the 'ApeMan' Claims
by Carl Wieland
Adapted from "The ever-changing story of 'human evolution'," Chap. 7 of the author's book One Human Family: the Bible, science, race and culture, onehumanfamily.us.
The Apeman-claims
There are many, sometimes conflicting, claims about so-called 'apemen', fossil creatures alleged to be evidence for 'human evolution'. These 'hominids' are supposed to be our ancestors, transitions linking us and the alleged common ancestor of both apes and humans.1 Whenever new 'finds' are trumpeted, many wonder how anyone could deny we evolved from apelike ancestors. After all, isn't each new find one more link in an evolutionary chain?
Yet the 'big picture' is very different, and encouraging for the biblical creationist. For many decades now, with few exceptions,2 a consistent pattern has emerged. It's as if each find switches on some more pixels in a grainy image, maybe sharpening but not changing the picture, which was long obvious in outline. All of the finds more or less naturally fall into one of only three major groups. And two of these, Neandertal and Homo erectus, are similar anyway. Both are clearly human descendants of Adam.3
Virtually all others, including the famous 'Lucy', are in the remaining group, which generates the most evolutionary excitement. But it turns out to be an extinct non-human primate group, anatomically not between apes and humans.
Future finds will almost certainly also fall into one of these groups. So overviewing them here should equip us to more readily understand how the next such proclaimed 'human ancestor', too, will likely fit this big picture, consistent with biblical history.
Artists' impressions of Homo erectus have most often depicted some really primitive, subhuman 'apeman'. However, the evidence that these were people (that should even share our species name) is mounting. So artists' renditions are gradually shifting toward a much more obviously human appearance, as here.
These have more robust skeletons than most people living today—and bigger braincases. Everything about them is consistent with regarding them as post-Flood/post-Babel descendants of Adam.
Evolutionist Donald Johanson, discoverer of the famous 'Lucy' fossil, co-writes of Darwin's defender and friend, biologist Thomas Huxley FRS:
"From a collection of modern human skulls Huxley was able to select a series with features leading 'by insensible gradations' from an average modern specimen to the Neandertal skull. In other words, it wasn't qualitatively different from present-day Homo sapiens."4
Huxley did not believe that Neandertals evolved into modern humans, but that they were fully human. The 'standard' evolutionary view is that they were not a direct ancestor of modern people, but rather a side branch. Huxley's skulls make perfect sense if one sees Neandertals as simply part of the range of bony variation in our one human family. Many of the things showing the true humanity of Neandertals are listed in the box below.
Neandertal DNA
Sequencing of [Neandertal] DNA clearly shows interbreeding with modern populations, particularly those from eastern Europe/Eurasia.
Sequencing of their DNA clearly shows interbreeding with modern populations, particularly those from eastern Europe/Eurasia. So Neandertals can't be a separate species, despite evolutionary claims they split off from the human lineage, 500,000 years ago. This evidence has been a major blow to 'progressive' or 'old-earth' creationist notions. Even the most ingenious manipulation of Adam's lineage can't stretch it to hundreds of thousands of years ago. So, because such 'creationists' accept secular dating as their starting point, they must regard Neandertals as pre-Adamic soulless nonhumans, despite all the archaeological evidences of their humanity (box). But DNA now makes this completely dead in the water; having children together means they must be the same created kind as us.

Repellents are chemicals designed to discourage an animal from eating a particular food or residing in a given area while not permanently harming the animal.
The purpose is to make the animal uncomfortable so that the animal decides to move on.
Repellents are distinguished from frightening devices by being chemicals.
Pain repellents are among the simplest to understand as they cause the animal physical discomfort. The repellent normally is eaten (as in capsaicin) or breathed (as in methyl anthranilate). Repellent must be reapplied frequently to plant surfaces or rebroadcast in the air for continued success. These type products can actually be quite effective when wishing to protect plants or items that you have no intention to eat. Products of this type include Deer Away and Ropel to name a few. Just don't forget that these products will need to be replaced etc. For info on Deer Repellents Click Deer.
These are the holy grail of repellents and like the holy grail just as elusive. You may have heard of using fox or coyote urine to drive away woodchucks. While it can work, generally, the woodchuck will adapt especially if there aren't' any predators around. You also have to consider the threat that animal urine or smells may be to your nose or health. Remember, urine is urine. Mothballs are a common repellent. Yes, they are avoided by animals. But rarely will they repel an animal including snakes. For all an animal has to do is walk by. Also mothballs placed at den entrances just have to be pushed out of the way. I can't tell you how many clients had to hire me after they tried this silly technique. Save your money. Raccoon repellent can work for female raccoons who have young, but again it isn't 100%.
These are products that harass an animal's desire to touch. Sticky products are used to repel pigeons. They don't like to get their feet gooey any more than we do. While they work, the down side is that what can stick to feet also can stick to dirt. So after a while they can collect dirt and look dirty smears on your building. They also run the risk of holding smaller birds that land on them which can result in some cruelty. This is especially true if you don't know how to apply it properly. I advise people to put the goo on a board or substance that can be tacked to the surface you are trying to protect. Then when the animals leave, you can remove the substance and you won't have damaged the building you were attempting to protect.
If you have ever avoided a food after becoming sick, then you have experienced the power of aversive conditioning. Aversive conditioning repellents require the animal to eat the product and then experience nausea or other type illness so that the animal connects the action with the following discomfort. The downside of aversive conditioning is that the animal must eat something (cause damage) before it stops. Anthranquinone is one active ingredient that has proved effective in repelleing Canada geese.
I hope these tips help save you money and sanity as you deal with too much nature on your property.

Well folks. I thought I would drop in to explain my absense. A couple of weeks ago I tore either the cartilage or ligaments in my knee (the Doc's aren't sure yet). I am pretty much completely imobilized until I either heal or they send me to surgery. Since I can't very well be out and about I have been perusing things to do. To be honest, the outdoors television isn't cutting it. I hate to just watch people doing what I want to be doing :). There are a few hunting/fishing video games out there, but they only are a very short distraction. So, I have been reading. I am a member of the Military Book Club. While I am not a huge war buff, they do have a good selection of hunting/fishing/shooting/camping books.
On my reading table right now I have: The Rifle Story (previously reviewed), Gun Digest 2007 (Gun Digest) (if you have never looked over a Gun Digest, you are missing a great resource. Thousands of descriptions, articles, reviews and stories. A great read.), The History of Remington Firearms: The History of One of the World's Most Famous Gun Makers (A great history full of pictures and descriptions of many of their guns.), and The Gun Digest Book Of Exploded Gun Drawings (great for finding parts lists in any DIY repair scenario.).
AS far as fiction, I just got the Club's special edition of The Day of the Jackal which is one of my favorites and also, IMO, one of the greatest suspense novels ever written. I also read Dick Francis fairly often.
Well, that's what I am reading. If there are any books you would recommend, let us know.
I'm out.

Hey all, I was just remembering back to when I was a kid and my uncle used to take us camping. It was always and adventure with him and he was always trying new things. I remember one time he said "Hey kids, how about some pizza?" Well, you know kids, "How are we supposed to have pizza without an oven?", was the popular response. He took out his skillet, put it on the fire and started mixing some ingredients. Shortly thereafter we had a wonderful home-made pizza right over the fire. Recently I was able to get him to cough up his recipe, now keep in mind this is his recipe and you can add whatever ingredients that you want. Continue Reading »

One of my most favorite things to cook when camping is salmon; and nothing tastes better than blackened salmon, at least in my humble opinion. Blackened seasonings are varied to a certain degree depending on your own individual tastes and the region you come from. The blackened seasoning that I've added here is my own personal recipe and can be used as is or just as a guideline for your own recipe. Continue Reading »

Hey all I'm back again. I don't have any wonderful stories to share this time but I do have a wonderful recipe to give you guys. This one is for the breakfast lovers out there. This is another one taken from Grandma's cookbook. This is a recipe for bacon, eggs and flapjacks. The bacon and eggs part is easy, however I highly recomend leaving the bacon grease in there as it adds flavor to the eggs and the flapjacks and makes for ease of use as you don't have to add more grease to the pan.

Hey all, I'm back. Now that you have all had a chance to use your cast iron pans, to make that wonderful cronbread. It's time to learn how to clean your pan. Now one thing that I will say here, NEVER, NEVER, soak your pan with dish soap. The soap will eat away at your seasoning and cause you to reseason your pan much more than neccessary.
There are a few different methods of cleaning a cast iron pan, and of course everyone has there own methods. The methods that I normally use are just for regular cleaning or, for the rare occasion, when food sticks to the pan and you get those nice black bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue Reading »

Hey all, have you ever gone camping and thought, "Man, I wish I had my cast iron pan," or even "What should I make today with my cast iron pan?"
Well, I have some answers for you.
In these chronicles we will be delving into the wide and wonderful world of what we can do with cast iron cookery.
The first thing we are going to touch on here is seasoning the pan.
I will also share with you one of my favorite recipes to use with cast iron pans.
Seasoning is probably the most important part of using cast iron. Seasoning is the process by which a layer of animal fat (bacon grease, lard, etc.) or oil (olive, canola, etc.) or basically any type of fat (butter, margarine, etc.) is applied and then cooked onto the surface of the cookware to prevent rusting, create a non-stick surface and to prevent food from interacting with the iron in the pan.

I was wondering what shotguns people use/prefer. I myself own a Charles Daly Field Hunter. It, for those of you who don't know, is made in turkey but sold/imported by an American company. As far as shooting goes it has worked pretty well until this last winter it started not feeding ammo. It would shoot the 1st round fine but then the next round would get stuck moving from the magazine up to the chamber. But thanks to a "Lifetime Repair Warranty" it should be repaired or replaced soon. Let me know your feedback

When the sun goes down, Norfolk sizzles with late-night fun!
Downtown you'll find beer bars, lounges, restaurants and night clubs galore. Party at Scotty Quixx and Baxter's or buy a ticket to see a rock show at the NorVA (named as a place that rocked the hardest by readers of Rolling Stone magazine. If clubbing & loud music isn't quite your jam, downtown has more late night hangouts of all kinds. Try a low-key beer bar such as The Barrel Room or Gershwin's, a 20's style piano bar. Stroll along the waterfront and there is a good chance you'll find one of the many year-round festivals of food and music. Some of the most popular festivals are Harborfest®, Bayou Boogaloo, the Latino Music Festival, Jazz Festival, Beer Festival, and bi-annual wine festival.
There's always something shakin in this hidden hipster haven. There's local live music playing almost every weekend at Belmont House of Smoke, 80/20 Burger Bar or the Taphouse Grill. Virginia's first urban winery, Mermaid Winery and O'Connor Brewing Company both serve some of best brews, vino and bubbly. For a spectacular view of the city, stop by Supper for rooftop tapas & cocktails. Others not to miss are Luna Maya, Press 626 Café & Wine Bar, Bardo and Cogans.
Part of Chelsea's charm is that spots are a little undercover and part speakeasy. For some tasty tacos and drinks to get the party started, check out Tortilla West. Afterwards grab a specialty brew at Smartmouth Brewing Company or the award-winning Birch Bar. End the night sipping a cold one around an outdoor fire pit at the newly opened Torch Bistro. Other Chelsea favorites are The Bakehouse and Orapax.

ACL Live Shot: Neko Case
Siren overcomes Atoms for Peace
By Melanie Haupt, 11:36AM, Mon. Oct. 7, 2013
The deck was stacked against Neko Case Sunday night as she closed the Austin Ventures stage while Atoms for Peace's war machine thundered across the park.
Despite the unfortunate scheduling, Case and her band dove in, starting with "This Tornado Loves You" off 2009's Middle Cyclone, followed by "Bracing for Sunday," a track off the singer's September release, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You.
Together, Case and backup singer-collaborator Kelly Hogan ushered the audience through a collection of songs old and new, with "People Got a Lotta Nerve," "Deep Red Bells," and "Maybe Sparrow" interspersed amongst the newer, depression-fueled material, which proved itself to be the evening's weakest material. One exception was "Night Still Comes," which found Case bitterly wondering, "If I puked up some sonnets would you call me a miracle?," a particularly poignant moment given the percussive backdrop of the overwhelmingly masculine headliner.
Despite the competing noise, Case's band remained tight and professional throughout. Of particular note is a recent addition to the band, guitarist Eric Bachmann, who's played in Archers of Loaf and Crooked Fingers. While it's a little bit heartbreaking to see the college-rock icon working as a sideman, the addition of his angular guitar riffs to songs like "Man" helped elevate the material. It would've been even better if his guitar hadn't been buried in the mix.
After thanking the crowd, which had dwindled significantly over the course of the hour, Case gamely commenced an a cappella rendition to "I Wish I Was the Moon," with the audience cheering her on. "Thanks for sticking with us," Case said. "We're gonna go eat a shit ton of food now."

Washington, D.C. Flight data point to possible flight crew errors rather than ice accumulation as a key factor in last month's plane crash near Buffalo, N.Y., that killed 50 people, aviation safety experts said Wednesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said information obtained from the craft's data recorder shows the stall warning system had activated before the accident and there was some ice accumulation, but no mechanical problems were found with the plane.
Continental Connection Flight 3407 was about five miles short of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, flying in icing conditions the night of Feb. 12 when the plane tumbled out of control and plummeted onto a house.

A Somali official says security forces have recaptured a port town from Islamic State-linked fighters in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland.
Yusuf Mohamed, the governor of Puntland's commercial hub of Bossaso, says 30 militants and four soldiers were killed during the operation Wednesday to recapture Qandala.
Residents confirmed that troops entered the town after fighters retreated into nearby villages.
The seizure of Qandala in October had been the first victory for the Islamic State-linked fighters, who are expanding the areas under their control amid a rivalry with the homegrown al-Shabab extremist group.
The fighters broke away from al-Shabab and declared allegiance to ISIS last year.
Al-Shabab sees the splinter group as a threat to its operations in the long-chaotic Horn of Africa nation.

ReplyDeleteRepliestheir ice cream really is SO good. we asked if they would ever bring it out to california, but it didn't sound too promising... :)
for the side-by-side photos i just create a new document in photoshop and place them next to each other (with a little white space in between). maybe there's an easier way?

Holliday carries team in his impressive forearms for second straight game.
Today's matchup: John Lackey (13-8, 3.77 ERA, 3.80 FIP, 3.45 xFIP) versus Cubs lefty Travis Wood (8-11, 4.72 ERA, 4.12 FIP, 4.52 xFIP)
Well, here's something that hasn't happened much lately. The Cardinals pulled out a comeback win after getting behind big and early. Comebacks are fun, except for that part when you're way behind and everything looks grey and bleak and pointless and why-the-heck-am-i-still-watching-this. Comebacks, of course, are why we still watch when Our Guys are down 5 to zip in the 2nd and the win expectancy is at 10%. Soak it in, folks. Revel in it. Baseball.
The reason a comeback was needed at all is because Mr. Lackey just didn't quite have it early on today. He was able to escape a bases loaded one out jam in the 1st, but wasn't as fortunate in the 2nd.
After letting the first two batters reach, Lackey compounded his troubles by fielding a sac bunt by Wood, then making a high throw to first well over staring first baseman Daniel Descalso. That's right, starting first baseman Daniel Descalso, because the Cardinals (had) no infield bench. Anyway, the errant throw gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead. Chris Coghlan's single drove home two more for an early 3-0 deficit. Lackey got Javier Baez to ground into a double play, but had trouble nailing down that final out. Starlin Castro reached on a single, then Luis Valbuena took a changeup that probably caught a little too much of the plate out over the right field wall for a 5-0 Cubs advantage.
After the two tough innings, Lackey was able to handle the next four innings without much trouble. His line: 6 1/3 IP, 9 H, 5 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 6 K, 96 pitches
Meanwhile, the Cardinals offense wasn't able to muster much against Wood until the 4th, when Matt Holliday ripped a home run to deep right center.
In the 5th, Kolten Wong followed Holliday's example and mashed a lead off homer of his own into the right field bullpen. Aloha means goodbye. Doubles by Matt Carpenter and noted clutch hitter Matt Holliday drove in two more, cutting the Cubs lead to 5-4 and turning this snoozefest into something much more interesting.
LOOGY Randy Choate relieved Lackey in the 7th, striking out lefty Valbuena. Unfortunately, Lefty One Out GuY was left in to try to get a second out, and against a righty no less. He promptly give up a dinger to Arismendy Alcantara, giving the Cubs an insurance run and a 6-4 lead.
Despite the tack-on run in the top of the inning, the Cardinals tied it up in 7th. The Cardinals turned a Grinder walk, a Holliplunk, and back to back singles from Jhonny Peralta and Yadier Molina into 2 runs.
Wong was removed in the 8th, after going back on a high pop up, tumbling backwards, and knocking his head on the ground. He was replaced by Pete Kozma, just back up from Memphis today. Early word appears to be good news:
Per Matheny; @KoltenWong is sore but no signs of concussion. #STLCards
— Jim Hayes (@TheCatOnFox) August 31, 2014
The 8th inning started off with Pete Kozma going all Kozmania with a leadoff double to left, a harbinger of good things. Good things like Descalso getting down what was meant to be a sac bunt, but beating out the throw at first. Good things like noted gas station favorite Matt Holliday's utterly clutch two out, two run scoring single. Ghood thhings like Jhonny Peralta's follow up single to score Carpenter and give the Good Guys a 9-6 lead.
Trevor Rosenthal wrapped up the 9th and everyone breathed a contented sigh of relief.
Source: FanGraphs
As of this rambling, the Giants are thrashing the Brewers 14-3 in the 8th. Barring an epic, historic comeback by the Brew Crew, the Cardinals will be tied for first place in the NL Central. Seriously. First place.
Tomorrow it's the Pirates Gerrit Cole and our own Lance Lynn in a rematch of last Tuesday's game. You know the one. It involved Ike Davis and a lot of bullpen questions. First pitch at 1:15 Central.

New home closings in the Oklahoma City, OK market dropped year-over-year in March, but with a percentage fall less steep than February 2016, there are suggestions the market may be stabilizing. Closings slid 51.5% from a year earlier to 166. This came on the heels of a 53.4% drop year-over-year in February.
A total of 2,983 new homes were sold during the 12 months that ended in March, down from 3,159 for the year that ended in February.
As a percentage of overall housing closings, new home closings accounted for 7.4%. This is a fall 14.6% of closings a year earlier. Following a year-over-year decline in February, closings of new and existing homes also fell year-over-year in March.
Pricing and Mortgage Trends
For newly sold homes, the average price moved from $255,602 in March 2015 to $256,644 in March 2016. This came after a 3.0% hike in February year-over-year.
There was a boost year-over-year in the average mortgage size on new homes along with new home prices. In March 2016, the average mortgage size was $226,538, up 3.5% from a year earlier. In February 2016, average mortgage size on newly sold homes saw a 6.9% surge year-over-year from a year earlier.
Other Market Trends
There has been little change in the composition of the market with regard to the types of properties sold. From a year ago, single-family home closings have moved from 99.4% of new home closings to all of closings while attached units have gone from 0.6% of closings to no part of closings.
The average unit size of newly sold homes went from 2,142 square feet in March 2015 to 2,137 square feet in March 2016. The average size of newly sold homes moved from 2,095 square feet in February 2015 to 1,930 square feet in February 2016. In February 2016, the average size of newly sold homes declined 7.9% from the year earlier.
Foreclosures and real estate owned (REO) closings continued to fall from a year earlier in March, but did not look to be a burden on the market. Foreclosures and REO closings, taken together, made up 16.3% of existing closings, lower than 18.6% a year earlier. The percentage of existing home closings involving foreclosures fell to 6.8% in March from 9.1% a year earlier while REO closings as a percentage of existing home closings stayed level at 9.5%.

WhitneyThis is Ryvn, I especially like his coat because its all nifty and sewn in leather on the edges~ That took quite a lot of effort to ink and much less effort to simply do much more even with an airbush in photoshop ^_^ well, you learn something new each day. I think he's some kind of hunter of evil creatures- some kind of special mortal, though not mortal, like, secretly an elf or something. He simply appeared on my clipboard one day and made it all the way into the computer and to photoshop so, here you go.

U.S. equities closed mixed on Thursday after hitting new record highs, as investors digested several key earnings reports.
Among the firms reporting Thursday were Ford and Dow component Caterpillar. Ford matched earnings estimates, while topping sales expectations. Caterpillar beat earnings estimates but fell short of revenue expectations. Alphabet, Intel, Microsoft, and Starbucks are among companies that reported after the bell.
"Companies are still able to beat on the bottom line, but are having a tougher time doing that on the top [line]," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. "That could be a trend in cost cutting."
Thirty percent of S&P 500 companies had reported quarterly earnings as of Thursday morning, with 70 percent exceeding analyst expectations on the bottom line and 56 percent beating sales estimates, according to data from The Earnings Scout.
"We have reached the heart of the Q4 earnings season. The deluge of releases from the next two weeks will confirm whether the final three months of 2016 marked a disappointment for companies on a relative basis," said Jeremy Klein, chief market strategist at FBN Securities.
"To be sure, the bar for this period was a bit higher than in previous quarters. The hurdle only gets more difficult for corporate executives to clear over the next year as extremely sanguine bottom line forecasts have hardly budged," Klein said.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 30 points, with Goldman Sachs contributing the most gains, hitting a new record high. The S&P 500 broke above 2,300 for the first time, before falling 0.1 percent, with health care falling 0.7 percent to lead decliners..
"The [S&P 500] confirmed a breakout from its consolidation phase yesterday, supporting short-term upside follow-through and minimizing the likelihood of a significant pullback in the near term," said Katie Stockton, chief technical analyst at BTIG.
"We believe the breakout overrules the bearish takeaways we can derive from the low level of the VIX and weak seasonal influences in February, for now at least," Stockton said. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, hit its lowest levels in more than two years on Wednesday. It held around 10.6 on Thursday.
The Nasdaq composite closed 0.02 percent lower, having hit a new all-time high earlier in the session.
The three major U.S. indexes closed at all-time highs on Wednesday, with the Dow breaking above 20,000 for the first time, an important psychological barrier.
"If you look at it from a technical perspective, [stocks] finally broke from that six-week range," said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. "The market is giving the Trump administration more than the benefit of the doubt."
Source: FactSet
One of the principal catalysts in sending stocks to record levels were a series of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, including two that facilitate the construction of the Keystone XL and North Dakota Access pipelines.
"Until we get to the Fed meeting in March, I don't see anything that could push us lower," Schwab's Frederick said. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to hold its first meeting of the year Jan. 30 through Feb. 1, though Frederick does not expect the central bank to move monetary policy then.
In economic news, initial jobless claims jumped 22,000 to 259,000, but have remained below 300,000 for 99 weeks straight, their longest stretch since 1970.
The U.S. IHS Markit services PMI showed the sector expanded at its fastest pace since 2015, hitting 55.1 from 53.9. "Anecdotal evidence suggested that stronger domestic demand and improving business confidence had led to a robust rise in service sector activity at the start of 2017," IHS Markit said. New home sales fell 10.4 percent in December.
U.S. Treasury yields fell slightly, with the benchmark 10-year note yield hovering around 2.50 percent, while the short-term two-year note yield traded at 1.22 percent. The dollar regained some ground against a basket of currencies, having broken below 100 earlier this week. It traded 0.5 percent higher in afternoon ET, with the euro around $1.069 percent and the yen near 114.4.
Overseas, European and Asian equities rose broadly, following Wednesday's bullish run on Wall Street. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index advanced 0.25 percent, while the Japanese Nikkei 225 gained 1.81 percent.
The iShares MSCI Mexico Capped ETF (EWW) fell more than 2 percent after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said he would not attend a previously scheduled meeting with Trump. The Mexican peso hit a session low following the announcement.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 32.40 points, or 0.16 percent, to close at 20,100.91, with DuPont leading advancers and Verizon the top decliner.
The S&P 500 fell 1.69 points, or 0.07 percent, to end at 2,296.68, with health care leading five sectors lower and financials outperforming.
The Nasdaq composite fell 1.16 points, or 0.02 percent, to close at 5,655.18.
Decliners were a step ahead of advancers at the New York Stock Exchange, with an exchange volume of 829.17 million and a composite volume of 3.602 billion at the close.
Gold futures for February delivery settled $8 lower at $1,191 per ounce. U.S. oil futures for March delivery advanced 1.95 percent to settle at $53.78 per barrel.
