Very important issue!
Chronic Waste Disease
USP is asking all Sportsmen & Sportswomen to join to find a cure for CWD. PGC & DCNR"s hiring sharpshooters and eliminating the deer herd is not the answer. Finding a cure is, join USP in the fight to save the deer herd.
Spiroplasma bacterium, not prions, causes CWD. USP & LSU scientist signed an agreement to combat CWD. Read more

Membership Request
By - Pete Kingsley
If USP could get a Christmas present from the good old white haired round guy with a beard, (that drives a sleigh pulled by deer), it would be to get lots of new members this New Year. Seriously, to get a good jump on increasing our membership, we would like to ask each USP member to give a present this Christmas of a USP membership. A $20.00 gift to someone you know will go a long way to helping our hunting and fishing stay strong and would be a gift worth giving. Thanks in advance for helping USP stay large and healthy.
Failed PGC Deer Policy Costing Taxpayers $92 Million Per Year

Accurate PGC Audit?
By Blaine Toy
The PA sportsmen need to question the early procedures surrounding the current audit of the PGC. AG DePasquale announced he was going to audit the PGC on February 20, 2018. He recently held a couple closed-door meetings with only selected sportsmen and groups that historically support the interests of PGC which many times contrast the views of PA sportsmen. My understanding is the media was not permitted to cover these meetings, which always raises suspicion as to the transparency of the meeting and input for the audit.
The AG stated at the original presser he is going to look at PEG's actions since 2014. I understand the last audit of PGC was sometime in 2004. This audit should cover from the last audit till now and not leave a 10-year void, a period in which many questionable financial actions were exposed by USP and others.
The Auditor General needs to hear from honest Sportsmen of PA to request a thorough audit of PGC not one potentially biasing opinions of a political cover-up. If you feel you have information to assist the AG with this investigation CLICK HERE and submit the information or contact them at Department of the Auditor General Finance Building, 613 North Street, Room 23, Harrisburg, PA 17120-0018 (717-787-1381). Your help is needed to insure an accurate and transparent audit of the PGC is done.
Please contact you representative and ask them to support an honest audit. This will hopefully correct any corruption and poor decision making with-in the PGC, and bring Pennsylvania back to the top rated hunting state it once was.

Dicks Sporting Goods, a Pittsburgh based corporation, has recently decided to increase the age to purchase a rifle from 18 to 21. As a (58-year-old) life resident of the Commonwealth, I would like to bring forth some facts of rifle sales and use as it relates to Pennsylvania. Read more
Why Sportsmen should support HB 1483
It is very important that PA sportsmen support HB 1483. It is designed to solve PEG's greatest conservation mistake in the agency's over-one-hundred-year history. Click here to visit USP's HB 1483 page listing several articles of interest to sportsmen. Please take time to read them and use them in helping returning wildlife to PA.

How was your 2017 deer hunting season?
By Blaine Toy
From all information I have heard so far 2017 was a very poor hunting season for most PA deer hunters thanks to our great PGC. It is a shame that PA when from being one of the best hunting states to the nation to the laughing stock of the nation now.
Several individuals that I have talked to use to be very active in deer hunting, but now have given up hunting due to the lack of deer to hunt. The normal answer is "Why waste my time in the woods hunting when there are no deer to be seen".
One hunting group I talked to spent the first full week hunting seen very few deer and only harvested one deer, however the same group hunting the bear season harvested 4 bears. That 4 days hunting bear and six days hunting deer, shows the poor deer population, again thanks to our great PGC.
Attempting to teach youth the sport of hunting is a waste of time, many I have talked to stated they take their children/grandchildren deer hunting but after not seeing any deer the youth lose interest and no longer want to waste their time.
Please read an article from a frustrated deer hunter that I was sent.
8 Worst States to Bowhunt (Even with a Crossbow)
If PA is ever to get hunting back we must contact you representatives to support and pass HB 1483. This bill is designed to address "deer management and wildlife habitat, rural economies, and Game Commission accountability". Rep. Maloney distributed the memo under the title "Wildlife Habitat". It is important that sportsmen ask their legislators to cosponsor this vital piece of legislation
For the past 16 years, the Game Commission has continued to reduce the statewide deer herd to nearly un-huntable numbers in some regions in an attempt to improve forest seedling regeneration and to promote native wildflowers. Independent studies as well as state and federal investigations have indicated that virtually no scientific benefits have resulted from PGC's action, while the impacts to sportsmen, family businesses, rural communities, and the Commonwealth's economy have been outrageous and unacceptable.
The decline in tourism and recreation has now impacted rural economies and the State by over $7 billion in the past dozen years. Collapsing the state deer herd has been called the greatest conservation mistake in the over 100 year history of the Game Commission. HB 1483 will rebuild Pennsylvania's deer herd, improve the populations of grouse and other wildlife, return over 200,000 sportsman who have quit hunting because of the lack of deer, re-invigorate rural economies by over $500 million per year, and generate $40 million of annual tax revenues for local and state governments. Under PGC's current plan, it would take the Game Commission 100 to 200 years to achieve the same degree of habitat improvements as Rep. Maloney's bill will accomplish in 10 to 15 years
Please contact your legislator either by phone or email and request that he or she immediately cosponsors Representative Dave Maloney's "Wildlife Habitat" bill (HB 1483).

This or something to that effect is what Dr. Alt of the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) stated some years ago, when his program was adopted by the PGC and went into effect to reduce the Whitetail Deer herd, much to the dismay of many of the sportsmen/women of PA.
Well go to HADES Dr. Alt! Some of us are still here to testify how you and the powers to be at that time tried, and in some cases destroyed, the traditional aspect of hunting here in PA.
I have been hunting and trapping in this great state since 1946. Myself and many others of my generation are still here to testify that the PGC was founded in 1895 under title 54 to propagate for the Hunters and Trappers of PA. Hopefully the sitting Commissioners have not lost sight of that Oath they have taken!!!
Hopefully they will not give in to those that come to the table disguised as pro-hunting advocates, but have anti-hunting or other political agendas that will negatively impact our Hunting Fraternity. Many of us believe these hidden agendas have caused the demise of license buying Sportsmen/women.
Hunters and Trappers created the PGC over 120 years ago, and many that followed had the foresight to protect the vision of the founding fathers of this Commission. The PGC mission was to propagate game for the sportsmen/women of PA. Only a clear focus of this mandate should be accepted by those that elect the future leadership of the PGC. We may not be here much longer, but we know from whence we have come and where we are now.
"Save the Babe, Throw out the wash water".
Attention gun owners, could this deer reduction program just be another assault on our 2nd amendment rights?
Eliminate hunting then why own guns?

Doe Hunting
Does That Mean Forever?
Wayne Haas, USP Vice President
The big sign below
is self-explanatory, simple, and to the point. No Doe Hunting!
But, does that mean
forever, absolutely not. There is nobody that wants to harvest
antlerless deer more than USP. But, at the present time in
history because of the needless reduction of the deer herd
since 2001, we believe there needs to be an increase in the
number of deer. We would like to see the day when hunters
harvest over 200,000 buck and 200,000 doe and if regulations
were changed to only one deer per hunter everywhere except
special regulation areas, with 750,000 total hunters, over
half of all hunters would take home a deer to enjoy at the
table. License sales would be sure to increase and back to
the good old days we would go.
Therefore, for a
private landowner to have the ability to control their land
to make this happen (if wanted), USP has printed and has available
the No Doe Hunting signs below. Most PGC Game Lands and DCNR
State Forests need these signs too!
hunting tradition
that regular deer hunting season is over, we hope everyone
had a safe hunting season. However, from feedback and complaint's
we have been getting at USP; the season was another failure
with hunters seeing very few deer. Thanks to the PGC's failed
deer management plan with very few deer remaining, we can
no longer call it hunting, just time enjoying the outdoors.
second archery and primitive flintlock hunting season open;
we ask all hunters to be extremely careful and insure and
identify your target. At this time hunters will be wearing
camouflage while hunting, and not wearing the
florescent orange, and can very
easily blend into the background .
are asking the hunter's to not shoot a doe and help the deer
herd recover.
doe hunting signs are available from USP. To cover our printing
cost the signs; we sell them at $.60 each plus shipping.
To purchase signs contact Treasurer Pete Kingsley at 717-471-5820,
340 Hilltop Road, Strasburg, PA 17579.
sportsmen are well aware there are locations with-in Pennsylvania
that are over populated with deer, but the majority of the
state has had the herd decimated. This sport of hunting must
be preserved for our future generations of children and
grandchildren, change to PGC's self destruction of siding
with the anti-hunters. We sportsmen must band together and
attempt to end the fraud of the PGC.
supports returning to the traditional two week buck season
followed by a two day doe season. We believe the PGC should
go back to doe allocations by county instead of Wildlife Management
Units. If a county has a deer shortage; close that county
and give the herd a chance to build back up. Where there are
an abundance of deer extend the doe season if necessary.

the largest independent statewide sportsmen organization in
Pennsylvania, we can accomplish a lot with just a small amount
of money. All of the USP officers are highly motivated, interested,
knowledgeable sportsmen and all are non salaried, and even

2001 Hyundai Elantra GT turbo from North America
This car saved my life!
This car seriously saved my life, as well as two of my friends. We had a horrible car accident on the highway and this car held it's own. I recommend this car to anyone.
This car went through a lot... the roads were icy and snow covered, a truck was coming off a ramp and I got in the left lane to let him merge in the right and the left lane was a sheet of ice from not being used.
The spun around numerous times, hit an embankment rolled the car 3 times, and walked away without a scratch. The car was barely dented and the only window shattered was the back hatch part. If we were in any other car such as: a civic, accord, matrix, or sun fire; I'm not so sure I would be here right now.
I did have problems with the malfunctioning light coming on. But I soon realized that it came on when the gas cap was not screwed on tight enough. It was just a safety precaution.
General Comments:
This was the perfect car for me. I am a freshmen in college and I paid $10,000 for this car, and it was worth every penny. It was so spacious and sturdy.
I owe my life to this car, as well as the man who sold it to me. If you're even considering this car... get it! You will not be disappointed, plus with the turbo you will be recognized from miles away! It's the greatest!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Peristaltic pumps from Watson-Marlow Bredel were used by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances to pump vitreous enamel on to the surfaces of cookers.
Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, which incorporates the Stoves, New World and Belling brand names, produces cookers for domestic, leisure and business requirements at its Prescot, Merseyside manufacturing facility that employs over 1200 workers.
About 10 years ago, when the company developed a groundbreaking method of spraying enamel using high speed disc technology, it posed certain problems.
Initial use of the disc technology employed traditional pressure pots, which used pressurised air to force the fluid to the application, atomising the material.
The unreliable pressure pots led to cross contamination concerns especially when changing colour in addition to causing irregular flow of material to the atomising head.
Glen Dimplex Home Appliances consulted with Watson-Marlow and successfully tested a peristaltic pump.
Processed vitreous enamels are more like ground paste than fluid in composition, requiring the peristaltic pump to be robust and reliable.
Since the successful trial, Glen Dimplex Home Appliances has established four disc plants at its Prescot site, each employing three Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps.
Along with one pump retained for back-up, the total number onsite currently stands at 8, with 14 pumpheads.
The peristaltic pumps are applying colour to thousands of cookers every year with Glen Dimplex Home Appliances currently having a 24% share of the UK market.
Key benefits derived by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances include:
- Rapid colour change
- Better control over pump speed and volume of enamel pumped
- Significant reduction of cross contamination between colours
- Zero valves, seals or glands eliminates the risk of the pump contaminating the fluid or the fluid contaminating the pump
- Reduction of day-to-day maintenance costs and yearly legislation conformities with the elimination of pressure pots

Since ages these violent aggressive attacks are taking place on girl's bodies, which is their private property, and state officials are doing nothing. They are doing nothing because they are not designed for populace's protection [sic], as is commonly thought, but they exist for the protection of state officials themselves e.g., just take a look at the horde of black cat commandos protecting lives of scumbag parasite politicians or the manner in which the judiciary system works hard to protect these politicians and their cronies in such cases.
All these events should be enough to wake-up the sleeping populace, especially girls who are frequent victims of these violent aggressions. Girls must realize, that the system is not going to protect them. They should understand, that they must take the matter of their life's security in their own hands. Unless they start protecting themselves, their life will never be safe. Girls must protect their private property i.e, their bodies. Relying on state officials for the safety of our private property is foolish because state is the biggest violator of private property rights in the history of mankind. State's existence is based on violation of private property rights i.e., tax theft! State safeguarding our private property is a contradiction in terms.
|You Decide
Owning a gun will surely not solve all of the problems which girls are facing, but, at least, they will have some solid means available in their hands for protecting their lives instead of relying on the stupid state system. Own guns, train yourself and know how to use it for your defense, and then face those evil criminals with courage.
Finally, I know there are many other issues under consideration here, but then, I am writing this piece just to make people aware about this possible alternative system of security. We need to break free of the status quo thinking, and actively start searching for other alternatives which are much better than this status quo e,g., private defense and judiciary system (for a starter see this, this and this). As long as people will not look for and understand better alternative ideas, things will never improve. Unless we take our security in our hands, the state will continue to exploit us, and our daughters, mothers, sisters etc., will continue to get raped and attacked.

Macklemore, Ryan Lewis Sign Faux Record Deal in Funny or Die Clip (Video)
As of late, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" has been heating up radio and online streams, garnering lots of attention for the duo. Notorious for releasing their music independently since 2000, they sit down for a contract meeting with EKG Records executive Kevin Latshaw, played by Paul Scheer, in a Funny or Die spoof released Wednesday.
"I'm going to take the whole, 'economy is crushing my dreams' shtick ... and let's get you guys in the studio recording party songs about food stamps," says the exec, riding their future venture on the success of shopping in thrift shops with little money. "How about this: We'll ride into all the Hoovervilles playing for all the hobos ... it's like Coachella, but depressing."
Unsurprisingly, Macklemore and Lewis aren't interested in Latshaw's pitch. Cue a fake Billboard cover and a giant check for one free lunch, and somehow a deal is reached. Watch the video below.
The spoof follows a similar parody featuring Odd Future, in which Scheer attempts to sign the infamously independent crew, which was released in 2011.

[Mysteriousheartland.com] Mike knew the Fallen were going to run into trouble when he first saw the black van parked on the side of the road near the Cambridge "Death Curve." Sure enough, as he got closer, he saw the letters "P.C.P.R.S." stenciled onto the side of the van in big yellow and orange letters. He clutched the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.
"Oh no," Greg, who smelled like orange soda, said from the backseat of Mike's dark blue Toyota Corolla. "Is it the Pan-Continental Paranormal Research Society's van?" Greg's hair was unkempt and pressed forward by hand, yet it was short enough to appear styled, and his face was weather-beaten and pocket marked. It was a face that had felt a dozen different climates, from deserts to the icy tundra.
Davin, who sat next to Greg, was pale and clean-shaven. He looked like a man used to living a sedentary life. He wore a simple undershirt and denim shorts soaked in sweat. Emmet, a foot taller than the others, rounded out the trio in the backseat. His nose jutted out from under the brim of his Chicago Cubs' baseball cap.
"It is, unfortunately," Aurelia replied from the front passenger seat. In contrast to her companions, Aurelia did not look like she had slept in her clothes the previous night. She wore a red and black striped tank top, urban camouflage pants, and dog-eared combat boots. The high temperature and humidity did not bother her.
"What are they doing here?" Greg asked, referring to the occupants of the black van, without expecting an answer.
After a few moments, the Fallen could make out the features of two men and two women wearing black t-shirts who stood along the side of the road at the apex of the curve. They were chatting with a man wearing a periwinkle polo shirt and khaki shorts who was furiously jotting down notes in an I-Pad he held in one hand.
"Who is that?" Mike asked when he failed to recognize the man in the polo shirt. "Isn't he the reporter we ran into at Bishop-Zion Cemetery?" Aurelia replied. She snorted. "It is."
Greg leaned forward eagerly. "What do you want to do? Do you just want to come back another time?"
Mike took his Toyota Corolla around the curve and pulled over as soon as he found room on the shoulder. "Heck no," he said as he unfastened his seatbelt. "We have as much a right to be here as they do."
"Which is not much—" Emmet interjected.
The Fallen's arrival did not go unnoticed. Four members of P.C.P.R.S. stopped talking and stared at the dark blue Toyota as it approached. Fess Parker of the Paranormal Review and Gazette stood with them. Their eyes betrayed an equal measure of jealousy and hatred. Although the Pan-Continental Paranormal Research Society had chalked up countless interviews and television appearances, the Fallen had an uncanny access to the paranormal. Everywhere they went, potential clients spoke of the Fallen in hushed tones somewhere between fear and curiosity. Keith, president of P.C.P.R.S., knew this mysterious quintet were nothing but amateurs—kids who had never even appeared on Blog Talk Radio. Then there were the rumors of trespassing, theft, arson, destruction of property, and even (worst of all) charging for investigations.
"Shouldn't you kids be out playing roll playing games or whatever it is you do?" Keith said as soon as the Fallen got out of their van. He chuckled and bumped fists with the other man in the P.C.P.R.S.
Mike could not help but laugh as well, but for different reasons. "Look," he said as he laid his hand on Aurelia's shoulder to let her know it would be Ok. "We just want to finish what we came here to do. That's all. We'll get out of your way and then you'll never hear from us again." Inside, he cringed. He hated to be polite to the P.C.P.R.S., with whom the Fallen had feuded since they came to Illinois, but he had more important matters to worry about.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible," Keith replied. He wielded his potbelly like a weapon and positioned himself like a boulder in front of the Fallen's path. "This is our investigation site. You're disturbing the energy pattern, and we won't be able to get any EVPs if you're here talking all the time."
Emmet rolled his eyes. "How many EVPs have you ever gotten?"
Suddenly, the reporter stepped forward. "How was that Phish concert?" he asked sarcastically.
"What is he talking about?" Mike whispered to Greg.
"It happened when you were in jail a couple of months ago," Greg replied. "We told him we'd stopped to take a leak on our way to a Phish concert when he cornered us at Bishop- Zion Cemetery."
"You can forget about that interview," the reporter snapped. "Keith here has been telling me all about your group, and frankly, you disgust me. You charge for investigations? That's really unprofessional."
"First," Mike said as he abandoned any pretense of politeness, "it's none of your business what we do. Second, I can't think of a professional who doesn't charge for their services. That's how everyone defines a professional. If you do it for free, it's a hobby. Finally, we never wanted to do an interview with you anyway, so piss off."
Greg cleared his throat and Mike regained his composure.
Davin, who never liked confrontations, hovered near the passenger door on the opposite side of the car. "Why don't we just come back tomorrow?" he muttered.
"Why don't you listen to your friend?" a member of the P.C.P.R.S., a middle-aged woman with a buzz haircut wearing stonewashed jeans, spat. She waved a thick arm wildly through the air and pointed down the road.
"You are getting dangerously close to stepping over the line," Mike replied, and a curious smile grew across Aurelia's face.
Keith pressed his fingers against his chest and began to shout like an out-of-control guest on the Jerry Springer Show. "What are you going to do, huh? What are you going to do?"
Mike stood quietly facing down his opponent as Greg, who had maneuvered into the man's peripheral vision, pulled a Taser from the pocket of his cargo shorts. With a quick pull of the trigger, a pair of sharp electrodes embedded into Keith's neck and delivered a shock of 1,200 volts a second until he collapsed onto the dirt at the roadside.
"Oh my God!" the two middle-aged women screamed. They covered their mouths with their hands and stumbled backward while the reporter dropped his I-Pad in shock.
Greg quickly ejected the Taser cartridge and replaced it. He then pointed the nonlethal weapon at the other members of the P.C.P.R.S. while they scrambled for cover behind their van. "We warned you!" he shouted. "We're not playing around this time. Get in your van and get the heck out of here!"
"W… We're calling the cops!" Keith stuttered as he got to his feet and headed for the van. The reporter and the rest of the P.C.P.R.S. quickly threw their equipment bags inside and followed right behind without worrying about where they were going to sit, fastening their seatbelts, or even closing the door. Keith threw the van into drive and peeled away while clutching his neck and uttering a string of obscenities.
Emmet scooped up the reporter's I-Pad, laying on the pavement, while Mike and Aurelia hurried to the fencepost just beyond the curve in Timber Ridge Road. "I'd say we have about ten or fifteen minutes before the county sheriff shows up, so do what you have to do and let's get out of here!" he yelled after them.
Laughing, Greg put the Taser back into his shorts. "Man, I've wanted to do that for a long time. It felt great."
"It was reckless," Emmet chastised. "I hope Mike finds whatever it is he's looking for here. I hope this is worth it."
"If we can find it—it will be. It'll lead us like a beacon right to the missing child of the Seventh Avenue ghost." As the words left Greg's mouth, he heard Mike shout triumphantly and saw him wave something in the air. "Looks like a success."
"It seems stupid to risk getting arrested again for helping out someone who isn't even alive," Davin said.
Greg shrugged. "We never break a promise."

The standard box size of a Chevy Silverado is 78.86 inches long and 51.02 inches wide at the wheelhouse. The long box size is 97.76 inches long and 51.02 inches wide at the wheelhouse. Both have a cargo box height of 21 inches.
The Chevy Silverado long box holds a cargo load of 76.3 cubic feet, while the standard box holds a load of 61 cubic feet. Fully ribbed, skid resistant bed liners are available for all bed lengths. For hauling larger loads, a bed load extender can be added, giving the Chevy Silverado an additional 36-68 inches. While some bed extenders are fastened directly onto the truck bed, larger extenders are attached via tow hitch and are required to have DOT safety flags and reflector tape.

We love those quick weekend trips, and hope to inspire others by sharing our experiences on how to spend your time in a city in the most effective way.
Who we are
Living just outside the city of Leuven, we find ourselves at a central location in Belgium to visit all the goodness of our own country, while being close enough to the airport to satisfy our travel bug.
Kristof has always loved to travel. Taking a plane was probably the most exciting part of a trip during his childhood (and maybe still is!). Today, Kristof spends a lot of time cycling (any true Belgian does!) and running and can not live without coffee and pizza (although not at the same time).
If you happen to see a lot of churches or other buildings on our pictures, blame Kristof's fascination for architecture!
Tinne found the love of travelling a few years ago, when on a trip to London (which still is one of our favourite destinations). Loving design and fashion, she most thankfully takes the task of finding a city's best shopping spots.
No gelato shop is left unvisited and her love for animals makes us end up in plenty of zoos around Europe!
What we do
Since we both spent an important part of our lives in some of the main Belgian cities (Antwerp and Leuven), we started to appreciate a city's practicality, vibrant lifestyle and ease of access. As a result, we love those quick weekend trips where we take a plane and find ourselves in a totally different city just a few hours later.
Living busy lives, we have to spend our time there wisely. This means a lot of research on attractions that are truly remarkable and a solid planning to see as much as we can.
We summarise our research and experiences on this blog, hoping to inspire other travellers on making the most out of their trip.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Ricky Tarrant scored 21 points and Josh Davis recorded a double-double as Tulane dominated Chicago State 79-51 Sunday in a nonconference game.
Davis scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and made 10 of Tulane's 23 free throws.
Tarrant, who recorded a game-high four steals, knocked down 3 of 4 3-pointers. His trey with 7:52 left in the first half gave Tulane a 19-17 lead and sparked a 20-4 run for the Green Wave.
Tulane (3-1) led 39-21 at the break.
Chicago State (1-3) would not get any closer as Tulane built leads of 16, 23, and 29 in the second half.
Tulane shot 24 of 52 from the field and made 23 of 27 free throws. Chicago State shot just 34.5 percent (19 of 55) from the field and committed 23 turnovers. The Green Wave scored 16 points off those errors.
Corey Gray led the Cougars with 16 points.

Oil painting tips and tricks include applying a primer before oil painting, and studying color mixing and paint hues. Also, the artist should work in an open, ventilated area with a variety of high-quality materials.
It is important to use a primer on the painting surface before working with oil paints. The primer keeps the oil paint from soaking into the surface and damaging the underlying material. With the primer, the paint sticks to the surface more easily. The primer allows for even painting that does not ruin the painting surface.
In addition, a tip for oil painting is to understand that primary oil paint colors are not true colors. Rather, primary paint colors lean towards yellow or blue. This is important because the artist must understand this color scheme in order to properly mix secondary colors. Furthermore, painting thin layers first and thick layers second helps the first layers of paint dry more quickly. When painting, an artist should keep rags nearby to wipe excess paint. The artist should also keep soap and water on hand to wash brushes.
Working in a ventilated area improves oil painting because the ventilation keeps paints in good working condition. Working in a comfortable space also encourages the artist to practice more and create more work because the setting is inviting and comforting.
Similarly, high-quality materials help produce better paintings. If the artist can afford it, she should buy professional-grade materials or at least a few high-quality brushes. In addition, an artist should have a variety of paint brushes in varying sizes.

Israel bans Binary Options firms from selling overseas.
Israel's Securities Authoriy (ISA) has drawn up a law banning "any type of trading forum that sells to overseas clients - even if they do not offer binary options - without receiving a license from the country where clients reside." Note that Israel already banned the domestic sale of binary options last year, the first country to do so.
The ISA consider that "Beyond the severe economic harm to citizens around the world, marketers of binary options are increasingly causing reputational damage and inflaming anti-Semitism towards Jews and Israelis" and I've got to say that after personally receiving over 100 calls ... they are not far wrong.
Breaking the law will be punishable by up to two years in prison and if money laundering is involved, punishment could reach 10 years in prison.
The bill now heads to parliament, where it is expected to be fast-tracked, giving it priority over other bills, an ISA spokeswoman said.
The owner of an Israeli binary options firm was arrested on suspicion of fraud and extortion last month after an investor abroad reported losses of more than $500,000 to the online company, the first arrest since authorities announced a crackdown.

The first phase of the 53rd Bishwa Ijtema, a congregation organised by Tabligh Jamaat, began on the bank of the River Turag at Tongi in Gazipur on Friday.
The three-day event began after the fazr prayers with the sermon by Maulana Sayed Omar Khatib of Jordan amid tight security.
Senior Tabligh leader Maulana Saad Kandhalvi from Delhi, who had delivered
the beginning sermon and led the concluding prayers, known as akheri munajat, for last few years, did not attend Ijtema on the first day against the backdrop of protests by followers of a section of Tabligh Jamaat shura members.
Organisers said that 3,919 overseas devotees from 79 countries and hundreds of thousands of devotees from 14 districts of the country joined the first phase scheduled to end on Sunday.
A number of senior leaders of Tabligh said that Kakrail mosque imam Hafez Maulana Mohammad Zubayer is supposed to conduct the concluding prayers as he conducted the jumma prayers on Friday.
A senior Tabligh leader, Gias Uddin, said high ups of the organisation continued dialogue between the conflicting groups so that Maulana Saad could participate in the event.
Earlier, there had been a hiccup over Saad joining Ijtema this year as two groups of the Tabligh engaged in a conflict over the issue.
Later, home minister Asaduzzman Khan met with almost all of the shura members of Tabligh and said both the groups decided that Saad would leave the country at a suitable time and would not join Ijtema.
Gazipur police super Harun Ur Rashid confirmed that the ijtema ground and its adjacent areas had been brought under CCTV surveillance to ensure security. 'A total of 7,000 police personnel will ensure five-tier security for the devotees.'
Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Bangladesh Railway and Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation are offering separate and special services for the devotees during Ijtema.
The second phase of the congregation will be held between January 19 and January 21.
Police said two devotees Quazi Azizul Haq, 65, and Abdul Mamun Mona, 33 died on Thursday at the Ijtema venue.
Mohammad Feroz Talukder, officer-in-charge of Tongi Model Police Station, said Azizul died of respiratory complications while Mona was killed in a road accident.
The venue turned into a human sea during jumma prayers when people from adjoining areas rushed there to attend the prayers.
Due to shortage of accommodation, many devotees failed to perform the jumma prayers while some sat on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway halting traffic.
Liberation war affairs minister AKM Mozammel Haque, local lawmaker Zahid Ahsan Russel and other officials joined the prayers.

Here's an excellent piece about the dangers of legalizing assisted killing.
The slippery slope of assisted suicide
Proponents of physician-assisted suicide tell us that there is no danger of a slippery slope, that in Oregon the cases are "not that numerous" and are "carefully monitored." I hope that reasonable people will question these claims and reflect further on whether a law with insufficient safeguards is what we want in the commonwealth.
Slippery slope arguments involve small decisions that lead to undesirable outcomes that never would have been supported at the outset. Often, it is impossible to prove that one small step will have significant negative effects, but common sense allows reasonable people to judge the likelihood that a sequence of events that have happened in one place are likely to happen in another place in a similar way. more

NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children
by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman
Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing, Hachette Book Group
327 pgs
You know how parents often lament that we need an instruction manual for raising our kids, or that upon leaving the hospital they must have forgotten to give us "the book" on what the hell to do?
We can't say that anymore. Because the manual is here, in the form of Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's NurtureShock: New Thinking on Children.
I'm exaggerating, of course. (Kinda.) But what I'm not kidding about is that while I have read my share of parenting and child development books, this one is at the top of those that are absolutely excellent and worthy of much acclaim.
Finally, we have answers (or, at least many a study - for this book is chock-full of studies galore) to all the pertinent, puzzling questions and issues that make parents' hair turn gray or fall out completely. Questions like these (the bolded items are taken verbatim from the book jacket):
We've been dealing with a lot of fighting between Betty and Boo, and it's been a bit challenging. This chapter was eye-opening. Of course it makes sense that they will fight and take their aggressions out on each other. They do this because of the realization that neither one of them is going anywhere; you have your sibling for life, as opposed to a friend who would abandon you if you get into a fight.
I really wished I had read this chapter back in the spring when I was wrestling with the issues of race with Boo. "Shushing children when they make an improper remark [about race] is an instinctive reflex, but often the wrong move. Prone to categorization, children's brains can't help but attempt to generalize rules from the examples they see .... But shushing them only sends the message that this topic is unspeakable, which makes race more loaded, and more intimidating.
Young children draw conclusions that may make parents cringe, even if they've seen a few counterexamples. Children are not passive absorbers of knowledge; rather, they are active constructors of concepts .... The brain's need for categories to fit perfectly is even stronger at age seven than at age five, sp a second grader might make more distortions than a kindergarten to defend his categories. To a parent, it can seem as if the child is getting worse at understanding a diverse world, not better." (pg. 62)
This is exactly, exactly what we were dealing with earlier this year with Boo. I was blaming the autism. Maybe in this case it was just ... normal.
There is also a chapter titled "The Inverse Power of Praise" which was incredibly interesting about how telling a child that he or she is smart can actually be detrimental as one's academics become more challenging. "Emphasizing effort gives a child a variable that they can control .... They come to see themselves as in control of their success. Emphasizing natural intelligence takes it out of the child's control, and it provides no good recipe for responding to a failure." (pg. 15)
This resonated with me because since day one, I've been telling Betty that she is "pretty AND smart." We've always tried to emphasize the notion of "doing your best" whenever she is nervous about a quiz or a homework assignment, but I think I am going to be more cognizant of that now.
I should have started this post with what Bronson and Merryman mean by "nurture shock." It "refers to the panic - common among new parents - that the mythical fountain of knowledge is not magically kicking in at all." (pg. 6)
Or, in my words, it's the "Oh, f%@#! We left the friggin' manual at the hospital!" feeling.
NurtureShock is a transformative book. Truly. It delivers on what it promises to: some New Thinking on Children. It has certainly made me think differently about my kids and my parenting style.
I think it is a must-read for every parent (especially parents of preschoolers or elementary-school aged kids), every teacher and every child care provider. I honestly want to buy a copy of this and leave it anonymously for the woman who runs the day care/before and after school program/summer camp that Betty and Boo are enrolled in. (I'm not much of a fan of hers, truth be told. I think she has some old-fashioned notions, let's just leave it at that.)
Basically, anyone who comes into contact with kids should be required to read this book. It is that important. It is that good. I borrowed this from the library but there's the strong possibility I might buy it. In the meantime, I will be recommending it to everyone I know - starting with you.

When you return to college, you gain valuable professional skills, improve your career opportunities, and diversify your business. Going back to school as you run a business includes unique challenges, though. The following 12 tips can help you overcome several obstacles as you return to college and run your business successfully.
1. Establish Priorities
Despite your best intentions, your time, energy and focus are limited. Set priorities as you get everything done. You may need to focus on schoolwork during midterm and final exams while your business takes priority during busy shipping seasons, and don't be afraid to take a semester off during a pressing business or family commitment. Your chances of balancing both school and work increase when you establish priorities.
2. Stick to a Schedule
Juggling classes, homework, projects, business and your personal life require strict scheduling. Grab your day planner and maximize every minute. For example, listen to audio textbooks or recorded lectures during your commute and memorize facts as you walk your dog. Every week, you can analyze your schedule and make changes based on your school and work responsibilities.
3. Know Your Circadian Rhythm
Are you most productive in the morning or at night? Save your toughest projects for those hours. When you're naturally less focused and productive, you can answer work emails, organize class notes or file paperwork.
4. Implement Block Scheduling
Every time you get distracted while working on a project, it can take 23 minutes to get back on task. Block scheduling improves efficiency and helps you stay focused and get everything done. Use block scheduling to answer work emails, study for exams and meet with your team.
5. Stay Organized
No one has time to search for important school papers on exam day, and you don't want to lose clients because you forget to follow up. Implement a filing system to efficiently organize your paperwork. Organization saves you time, reduces stress and helps you be successful.
6. Ask for Help
While you can't send a replacement to class for you, you can ask for help in other areas. Trusted employees can open and close the shop, your family can pitch in around the house, and you can delegate tasks like meal prep.
7. Hire an Answering Service
You can't afford to answer the phone during class, but you might lose business if you don't take those calls. Hire an answering service for class and study time. Then, schedule time to return those calls to maximize your class time and your business.
8. Take Advantage of Courses
You have to take a variety of college courses to get your degree, so look for ways to make your classes work for you. Take electives such as grant writing or leadership that meet your graduation requirements and teach you new business skills. Put new marketing techniques to work in your business, and pick your professors' brains about problems you face at work.
9. Keep Your Overhead Low
Funding college may challenge your financial resources. Keep your business and personal expenses low as you balance your budget. Hold off on major buying and keep other spending in check as you reduce overhead costs.
10. Limit Big Business Decisions
Maybe you have a dream to expand your business or open a franchise. Wait until after college to act on these and other major business decisions. Focus your time and energy on maintaining your current course and finishing school, instead, so you don't overload yourself and burn out or fail at either endeavor.
11. Find Funding
Because school is expensive, you will need to find funding. Talk to your college financial aid department for options. Also, research scholarships for your demographic, and see if you qualify for scholarships from the professional organizations of which you are a member. Check out venture capital firms like Dorm Room Fund and Rough Draft Ventures, too, as you fund your education.
12. Give Yourself a Break
Everyone needs a little downtime to relax and regroup, so give yourself permission to take a break each day and recharge. Eat breakfast with your kids, text a friend, or read a book for fun as you reboot your mind and your body.
A return to college is a big commitment, but it offers invaluable opportunities for you professionally. With these 12 tips, you can successfully maintain your small business and go to school.

Hello Stamping Friends!
I am trying to catch up on a few projects so I can clean up my craft room. Virtual Stamp Night is coming up soon, and I have a bunch of hostess samples to create. In the meantime, I have two sympathy cards which I made yesterday so they can be mailed tomorrow. I have had to make a lot of sympathy cards already this year. Sad, but at least it's a way to show someone I am praying for them. The first card also works for a recent ColourQ challenge. Too late to submit, but I can check it off my list.
Recently a woman from Church passed away. I know her two adult daughters and decided to create a card for each. One sings in the choir with me, and the entire choir sang for her funeral. I wanted to have cards made by then, but didn't. Now I am glad. You see, the woman who died was proudly Polish, and the family would wear red in honor of the nation's flag each time they had a family gathering. In fact, I have never seen so much bright red at a funeral in my life...it was beautiful! So I decided to use real red in both cards. This first card has a basic black base with DP from S.E.I. called "Black Orchid." I added a piece of red satin ribbon. On a whisper white scallop circle, I stamped this image and sentiment, both from SU's "Love & Caring," using black, red, and gray markers. Two candy dots finish off the clean and simple look.
Next, another black card base, this one with 2 different sides of SU "Love Letter" dsp. The flourish is like the stamp from "Elements of Style," so I used the bird from that same set., stamped on very vanilla. The sentiment is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" on the word window. Grosgrain ribbon and a single candy dot finish it off.
Both of these cards are ready to be mailed tomorrow. Sad thing is, I still have to finish another sympathy card in the morning. Sigh.
Any way...that is it for today. I do plan on making some cards for happier occasions soon!

Nutella Baklava. I think that's all that really needs to be said. I mean, baklava is pretty damn good on its own. But then you throw that nutella in there and it's like an amaze-hallelujah-crazy-goodness-fest. If you've been looking for that "missing piece" in your life, this is it. This will complete you.
I got this recipe from Cooking Light, which makes me feel completely righteous while I shove it into my mouth by the pan-full. Slide it on in there like Garfield and his lasagna. No shame. On a new year's diet? Here are some built-in excuses you can use: "But it was in a Cooking Light magazine, how bad can it be?" "But Valentine 's Day is right around the corner!" "Nuts and honey are good for you!" Or my favorite, "I do what I want" [in a Cartman voice].
Please note that I made a few changes. I ditched the pistachios and actual hazelnuts. I know this is so lame of me, but I only like the flavor of hazelnuts, I hate biting into an actual nut. Like toffee, it's just too much for me. And have you seen the price of pistachios? Who has a monopoly on that market!? So I kept it just to walnuts and pecans, while increasing the amount of cinnamon [my favorite]. But then I forgot to keep that ratio the same and used 1 cup less of nuts. I just wasn't thinking. Blame it on the j-j-j-jar of nutella. It was distracting me.
So basically you take the phyllo dough out to thaw a bit. Mix the honey and water in a saucepan and boil for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, I chopped walnuts and pecans, and tossed those in cinnamon. I also took the nutella, threw it into a glass bowl and microwaved it for about 30 seconds. Preheat oven to 350.
Spray some non-stick spray on a 9x13 pan. Melt butter in a small dish. Roll out the phyllo dough and add it to the pan, one layer at a time. You want five layers for the bottom, and you dab each layer with the melted butter before you add more. After the first five layers, add a third of the nut mixture and nutella. I just repeated this until I ran out of nuts and nutella [about 3 times] and added another final layer of the phyllo dough. Then you cut it into squares. I used an up and down motion with my knife, instead of dragging it. That way, the layers of the phyllo dough didn't drag [and I'm sure my pan thanked me]. Then pour the honey mixture on top, and slide into a 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes.
Here you are...
Nutella Baklava
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2 cups walnuts, chopped
- 2/3 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray
- 24 (14 x 9-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Combine water and honey and bring to a soft boil. Cook for about 10 minutes. Move aside and keep warm. Take phyllo dough out of freezer to thaw slightly. Chop nuts and add cinnamon to them. Toss. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Put nutella in glass container and microwave for about 30 seconds, until soft. It should stir easily. Melt butter in small container.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take out phyllo dough and layer into pan. Between each layer, add melted butter with brush, lightly dabbing. Make sure to get the edges. After the first five layers, add a layer of nuts and nutella. I tried to use a third so I could have three layers. After your last layer of nuts and nutella, use five more sheets of phyllo dough for the top.
Cut with knife [be sure not to drag it/use an up and down motion]. Pour honey mixture over the baklava. Cook for 35 minutes. Store at room temp.

A motion was made, seconded and voted to approve the minutes of the August 12 meeting as written. Lisa connected her laptop to the Fire Department conference room projector and the working spreadsheet was loaded for viewing and work. She had added the summary table and chart that Doug had prepared. Lisa will soon add ìBalance of Capital Reserve Fundî projections. Committee members discussed whether and when to present the summary of the capital projects as submitted by the department heads to the selectmen. It was decided to request that the committee be placed on the agenda of the Board of Selectmen on Tuesday, September 1, following the Boardís discussion with department heads (probably 8:00 or later). Richard suggested that a set of bullet points be created to accompany the summary chart. Committee members drafted a brief set of points that Lisa will send in draft to the committee members who should respond with any suggested changes by 8:00pm Sunday, August 30. Lisa will then print the summary for distribution to the selectmen. Brian reported that Jim Plunkett had no changes to suggest in regard to the highway submissions. A motion was therefore made, seconded, and approved to ìlock downî the spreadsheetís "2010 Submitted" tab, representing the final list of all capital projects as submitted by the department heads. The committee reviewed the 2009 CIP report and divided up the various sections to be drafted for the 2010 report. Each committee member volunteered to draft specific sections. The committee discussed whether to make further changes in the ì2010 Recommended Aî tab of the spreadsheet and decided against doing so at this time. The committee further decided to prepare a "2010 Recommended B" tab to be discussed next week after the meeting with the selectmen with the idea of potentially further reducing the annual cost of capital projects. The committee decided that it may not use the ì2010 Recommended Bondî tab of the spreadsheet . A motion was made, seconded, and voted to approve the minutes of the August 4 meeting as written. The next meetings of the committee will be: Tuesday, September 1, 2009, following the meeting with the selectmen (perhaps 8:30) at Town Hall. The committee adjourned at 9:50.

At the tender age of 39, I can admit that there are some things I am good at and some things I suck at. I'm fantastic at turning off my blinker after changing lanes, I can clap to the beat of complicated calypso songs, and I can make Velveeta Rotel dip in less than 10 minutes. When it comes to life skills, I have some good ones.
And, I have handicaps– Excel spreadsheets, letting other people talk, and reheating brown rice in a standard microwave– to name a few.
Still, I get by.
But you what I suck at most?
Gift certificates.
I. Suck. At. Gift. Certificates.
I can never remember to redeem them until they expire. Or I lose them. Sometimes I write to do lists on them, then throw them away once I have completed the items. It's pathological.
Yesterday, I put a massage gift certificate by my purse before I left the house. I walked 20 minutes to the spa and realized, as I stood by the door, that I had forgotten the gift certificate. Who does that? I couldn't walk home and back and make my appointment time.
So I got the massage, paid for it, tipped generously and went home to find that unused gift certificate sitting on my bed. I could still see the imprint of my purse (the one I took to the massage) in the comforter. I had put the certificate next to my purse so I could take it with me.
Except I didn't.
I never do.
And I am even worse at Groupons. Instead of succumbing to those emails promising discounted yoga classes and manicures, I should just set the money on fire. In my hands, it's the same damn thing.
My husband noted that I now have to get another massage using the gift certificate. Sounds great, if I was normal. But it has to be redeemed by July 2013, and I don't know if I can remember to put it in my purse some time in the next ten months.

The news release from Malmstrom AFB's 341st Missile Wing Public Affairs Office was carefully crafted and a little over 200 words in length. The first two sentences basically said it all. It also ended a career:
The 341st Security Forces Group commander was relieved of command Aug. 22.
341st Missile Wing commander, Col. Robert Stanley, relieved Col. David Lynch from command of the 341st SFG due to a loss of confidence in Lynch's ability to lead his group.
Malmstrom officials were quick to point out that "Lynch's removal is not a result of the recent Nuclear Surety Inspection failure. However, as the 341 MW prepares for a re-inspection, Stanley must have full confidence in the leadership ability of his commanders."
The Great Falls Tribune also reported, "Lynch's removal was not related to any misconduct."
So what caused Colonel Robert Stanley (Malmstrom's Wing Commander), to send a news release about a colonel being relieved from duty on a Friday afternoon, which led to his photo being pasted on Saturday's front page of the local newspaper? (more…)
