You wouldn't expect to go to a pest control company for insulation, but more and more homeowners are learning how they can get deep discounts on their heating bill, and keep pests like ants, spiders, silverfish, and rodents, out of their attic. InCide® Attic Insulation is made from 100% recycled paper products, contains no volatile organic compounds, and is free of glass fibers, asbestos, ammonia, and formaldehyde.
Lower heating costs
Wouldn't it be nice to slice a chunk off your heat bill? It's possible, with InCide® Attic Insulation. Even if you already have insulation, InCide® can still save you money. Insulation has a tendency to settle and lose its effectiveness, and many homes have thin areas where heat is still being lost. Since InCide® is a spray insulation, you'll get that added protection on top of your current insulation, and fill in any gaps where heat is still escaping. The pneumatic application also creates a blanket of interlocking fibers, which decreases air movement, and produces a buffer that resists heat transfer. That mean your home will be warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer.
Mold resistant
InCide® Attic Insulation is also an EPA registered fungicide. According to Dr. Jose Herrera of Truman State University, whose results have been published in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene and The Journal of Applied Mycology, this insulation is proven to be highly effective in preventing mold and mildew germination. You'll get added mold protection for your home, as you save on your heating bill.
Flame Retardant
Add fire protection for the life of your home. InCide® Attic Insulation slows, and even stops, the spread of fire through attic space and wall voids, without releasing dangerous gases.
Bug resistant
Protect your home, and your family, from ants, termites, silverfish, mice, and other pests that can ruin your home, and cause unexplained health problems for your family. The borates in InCide® Attic Insulation kill some pests on contact, and others through ingestion. Though deadly to pests, InCide® is not abrasive to humans, and has no odor.
Whether you're building a new home, or safekeeping the one you have, InCide® Attic Insulation just makes sense. If you would like to join the many happy St. Louis residents, who are saving money on their heating, while others are watching their bills skyrocket, call us today, and get protected.

"All the questing and the guessing" : Arthur Hugh Clough as proto-modernist

Thesis DisciplineEnglish

Degree NameMaster of Arts
In the almost one hundred and forty years since the death of Arthur Hugh Clough two assumptions have become more or less universally accepted in the criticism of the poet. The first is that he was an unmitigated failure, both as a man and a writer; the second, originating after about 1930, is that Clough anticipated some of the characteristics of twentieth century Modernism. These generally unchallenged academic suppositions have, however, combined to restrict and deaden the opportunity for unrestrained speculation in Clough scholarship. Most recent work on Clough continues to promulgate both the idea of his difference and lack of success, and to impose, onto the man and his verse, an imprecise and narrow conception of his Modernism. This thesis intends to transcend both of these barriers by at once applying a more scrupulous and scholarly definition of Modernism to the poetry of Clough, and by illustrating the man who emerges through such an examination. By delineating Clough's dissatisfaction with the Victorian period and its poetic, and in the alternative philosophical and poetic stance which we see him assume, we are able to observe how Clough bids farewell to the stability afforded by Victorian retrospection and essentialism, and, in the process, develops a proto-Modernist fragmentation, prospectivity, and dynamism.

Rehoming your dog - Cesar Millan
Whether you are forced to give away a beloved companion due to moving, or you have come to the conclusion that you are ill-equipped to care for a special-needs dog, you can take responsibility to improve its life by finding it an appropriate new home.
Checklist of homing needs
Getting your dog ready
Interviewing prospects
Once you determine that a prospect is worth meeting, it's safest and easiest for both parties to find a neutral location to introduce your dog, like a park or pet-friendly coffee shop or café with outdoor seating. If the prospect has children, it is best that they come so you can observe how they get along. If there's potential, consider conducting a second interview in the prospective adopter's home so you can see how your dog responds to the environment.
Always listen to your own instincts and don't fall into the trap of being desperate to rush giving away your dog. Never give your dog away "free to the right person." Your dog is valuable, so find a reasonable price and stick to your guns.

In the 18 years I've lived hear, I've seen and experienced just about everything. Once in a while, I'll get a surprise but for the most part, what was racy in the past is today's norm. In the two years since I started this blog and making YouTube videos, I've heard things I thought I'd never hear.
Of course, I've heard the usual my girlfriend is a ho, will it work questions too many times to count, but when Daniel wrote me in, I was admittedly a little shocked. It's not ever day that someone writes me in asking questions about how Thais (and Cambodians) properly clean their nether regions. Is this what I've become? An amalgamation of Jerry Springer, Morton Downey, Dr. Phil of Thailand? Thinking about this makes me feel like some Spanish chick from West Side Story crying out, "Please no let it be so, please no let it be so!"
Really? Is this what I've evolved into? A guy telling people how to clean their ass properly so they're left with a squeaky clean bung hole?
Toilet paper is disgusting. Seriously. Clean your ass with water for a week and you'll never want to reach for the Charmin again. If water is soothing, paper is inflammatory.
What made me do a video debating the merits of toilet paper and the bum gun? Once this guy mentioned he was worried his girl have a funky rear exit, I started thinking. Doesn't he know? How can he not know?
It turns out the guy had a bad experience with a vagina and his face no longer gets anywhere ever near the Hershey Highway. Comedian Redd Foxx used to remind his audience that the nose is just an inch away. In Daniel's case, his nose is about three feet away meaning he has yet to perform the sniff test. Most Asian women tend to be extremely clean down there, so he probably need not worry, but...if it were me, I'd certainly want to be certain nothing was going on at the back entrance before I called her my girlfriend.
Oh, did I mention I'll take washing it over wiping it ANY DAY?

hi Scott,
5/14/2014 01:18:08 pm
I'll take water over paper any day. A pit and a pig? No thank you.

U.S. immigration law: children as a unifying means to immigration reform
Graduation Date
Document Type
Department/Program Conferring Degree
International Studies
U.S. immigration law, children, minors, family reunification, IIRAIRA
This thesis seeks to evaluate U.S. immigration law and policy in light of their observable impact on children. My purpose is to review and assess the efficacy of current family reunification law specifically as regards minors: its clarity or ambiguity, consistency in application, and its effects on respect for the rule of law and just consequences. Section one addresses normative dimensions of justice including the legal notion that a punishment meted out should be proportionate to the crime of the perpetrator, the idea of consistency as a necessary though insufficient aspect of justice, and the importance of understanding the complexities of the casually used notion of the "rule of law." Section two considers the legal and social precedents for special consideration of minors through a historical review comparing the development of immigration law and the concept of "childhood." Section three details specific failures under immigration law for children with a special focus on the additional grounds of inadmissibility outlined in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibilities Act (IIRAIRA). My goal is to expose the consequences such laws have on minors as well as the ways significant inconsistencies undermine the immigrant, adjudicator, and nation's respect for the law. My analysis will conclude with recommendations for reform in light of the plenary power doctrine and the notion that minors without legal status may not expect protection under our laws. Perhaps if advocates for reform on either side of the debate began with reform for children, concessions could be made leading to more coherent and comprehensive policies for our nation.

The only time I listen to the radio is when I drive. The only time that I drive is when I need something that is not accessible by the subway system (my curling club, Target, Ikea, other things in the 'burbs). I don't even own a car, and use a Zip Car maybe 3 to 4 times a month. The last two times I was oot and aboot I caught the song "Somebody That I Used to Know" by the Belgian-Australian artist Gotye. It's a catchy song - simple melody, easy lyrics, interesting instrumentation, and a guest verse by the New Zealand artist Kimbra. It's currently number three on the Billboard Alternative Charts (behind the Black Keys and the Foo Fighters). I went to check it out on YouTube, and found that the most fascinating video for the song is actually a cover. Watch Canadians Walk off the Earth covering "Somebody That I Used to Know" with ten hands and one guitar.
Compare that with Gotye's original. Not bad, eh?

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Jorge Navarro said earlier this week that both Sharp Azteca and War Story came out of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational in good order and that each is on a similar schedule as last spring. Sharp Azteca is heading back to Dubai for the Godolphin Mile on March 31 and War Story is scheduled to make a return trip to the Charles Town Classic three weeks later.

Gianni Rivera's goal: 1970 semi-final versus West Germany
The Golden Boy's goal in the 'Game of the Century', may have not been his best in the blue shirt but surely it was his most crucial. Coming on in the second half for Sandro Mazzola, as part of Coach Ferruccio Valcareggi's infamous Staffetta, the Milan striker showed why the Coach distrusted him. Half asleep on the near post, he allowed Gerd Muller's soft header to beat him, as Germany equalised 3-3. However, less than a minute later everything was forgotten as 'Abatino' cleanly and accurately side-footed home the winner.
Marco Tardelli's scream and goal: 1982 Final versus West Germany
If there is one seminal image in Azzurri World Cup history it has to be the one with Tardelli caught 'mid-urlo' after scoring Italy's second goal in the 1982 final. Turning away, from the goalmouth, his head shaking back and forth, his eyes staring maniacally ahead, arms outstretched, he screams with the utter joy of it all. And although Tardelli's reaction reflected just how much it meant to him, his teammates and Azzurri fans world-wide, the goal itself was just as wonderful. Perched on the edge of the D and collecting the ball following a slick six-man move, the Juventus midfielder smacked it into the bottom left corner with his outstretched left foot as he fell, before going off on that fabulous run.
Alessandro Altobelli's goal: 1982 Final versus West Germany
With a 2-0 score-line there was always the chance that Germany could come back. Yet once the dashing Bruno Conti had driven into the area and centred for Altobelli it was soon to be all over. The Inter forward, on as a sub for Francesco Graziani, dragged the ball to the left, beat the 'keeper and with 10 minutes to go screamed his left footer into the net.
Paolo Rossi's hat-trick: 1982 semi-final versus Brazil
In what has been termed one of the greatest games of all time, Paolo Rossi scored a wonderful hat-trick to send the Azzurri into the Final. His first came after just five minutes when Antonio Cabrini crossed from the left to find Pablito steaming into the area to head home. Twenty minutes later he pounced again before completing his hat-trick 15 minutes from time. Brazil had equalised twice but had no response after his third. "It one of the most important goals I have ever scored, freeing me psychologically and it also increased my motivation," he said after a game that secured his eminence amongst Calcio's immortals.
Roberto Baggio's goal: 1990 group stage versus Czechoslovakia
Italy were leading 1-0 when Roberto picked the ball up in his own half. Moving up field he exchanged a superb one-two with Il Principe, Gianni Giannini, before putting on the after burners. Over the next seven seconds he touched the ball nine times, destroyed three defenders and jumped a leg-breaking tackle to reach the goalmouth. Once there he fooled the 'keeper placing the ball to his right instead of the expected far corner, scoring a wonderful individual goal that was later described as 'a piece of art'.
Salvatore Schillaci's goal: 1990 group stage versus Austria
Whenever the 1990 tournament is mentioned an image of a pair of bulging eyes and flailing arms comes to mind. These of course belonged to the unlikely hero that was Toto Schillaci. Before this opening game the Juve striker only had one cap to his name. However, after running on to Gianluca Vialli's cross to thunder a header past Austria's goalkeeper Klaus Lindenberger in the opening encounter, the highly likeable little Sicilian became a household name. After getting Italy off to a flying start he eventually went onto to become the Golden Boot winner with five more goals to his name.
Robert Baggio's performances at USA '94
You could probably make 10 moments of Baggio magic alone but in the 1994 World Cup a series of brilliant performances saw him drag a moderate Azzurri side into the final. Kicking off with his last minute crucial equaliser against Nigeria, 10 minutes later in extra-time he scored the subsequent winner with a fabulous penalty. In the quarter-finals it was his late winner in the 2-1 victory over Spain. Then his two cracking goals against Bulgaria took Italy into the Final against Brazil. Say no more.
Fabio Grosso's goal: 2006 semi-final versus Germany
With the score at 0-0 after 90 minutes the game moved into extra-time and remained scoreless until the Palermo left-back netted the opener in the 119th minute. Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann had no chance as Grosso's first time shot from the right was curled home from Andrea Pirlo's ball. The Italian fans went wild, the Germans were stunned, then seconds later they were knocked out, as Alessandro Del Piero finished the game with an a delicate chip into the corner to send Italy storming into the Final.
Fabio Grosso's penalty: 2006 Final versus France
At 1-1 and extra-time only producing Zinedine Zidane's red card, both sides lined up for penalties. It soon became 4-3 to Italy and if Grosso missed the final kick France would have a chance of drawing level and taking penalties into sudden death. However, Fabio was made of iron and nervelessly took an extra bit of time to place the ball just right. On the sidelines Coach Marcelo Lippi took off his glasses, wiped them and turned away. Six seconds later the whistle went, Grosso took his run up and slammed the ball into the top right-hand corner. Cue bedlam as the whole squad ran towards him to celebrate. "Campione del Mondo. Abbiamo Vinto."
Fabio Cannavaro's performances at Germany '06
The Azzurri Captain stood out magnificently throughout the finals and won the Silver Ball award for his performances. Popping up everywhere to clear balls, win aerial duels, set attacks in motion and generally be the perfect captain - he led by example and was a complete rock. Over the seven games the Azzurri only conceded twice, one a penalty, the other an own goal. Such was his performance in the final that he earned the highly appropriate nickname 'The Berlin Wall', as he and six other Azzurri were voted into the Team of the Tournament.

Vertex42 The Excel Nexus
The example in this section provides a practical demonstration of the information presented in the previous section. The example shown in Figure 18-13 consists of an embedded chart that functions as a clickable image map. Clicking one of the chart columns activates a worksheet that shows detailed data for the region.
The workbook is set up with four worksheets. The sheet named Main contains the embedded chart. The other sheets are named North, South, and West. Formulas in B1:B4 sum the data in the respective sheets, and this summary data is plotted in the chart. Clicking a column in the chart triggers an event, and the event handler procedure activates the appropriate sheet so that the user can view the details for the desired region.
The workbook contains both a class module named EmbChartClass and a normal VBA module named Modulel. For demonstration purposes, the Main worksheet also contains two buttons: One executes a procedure named EnableChartEvents; the other executes a procedure named DisableChartEvents. (Both are located in Modulel.) In addition, each of the other worksheets contains a button that executes the ReturntoMain macro that reactivates the Main sheet. The complete listing of Modulel follows:
Sub EnableChartEvents() ' Called by worksheet button Range("A1").Select Set SummaryChart.myChartClass = _ Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(1).Chart End Sub
Sub DisableChartEvents() ' Called by worksheet button
Set SummaryChart.myChartClass = Nothing Range("A1").Select End Sub
Sub ReturnToMain() ' Called by worksheet button
Sheets("Main").Activate End Sub
The first instruction declares a new object variable SummaryChart to be of type EmbChartClass — which, as you recall, is the name of the class module. When the user clicks the Enable Chart Events button, the embedded chart is assigned to the SummaryChart object, which, in effect, enables the events for the chart. Listing 18-4 shows the class module for EmbChartClass.
Clicking the chart generates a MouseDown event, which executes the myChartClass_MouseDown procedure. This procedure uses the GetChartElement method to determine what element of the chart was clicked. The GetChartElement method returns information about the chart element at specified X and Y coordinates (information that is available via the arguments for the myChartClass_ MouseDown procedure).
Listing 18-4: Reacting to Which Column Has Been Clicked
Public WithEvents myChartClass As Chart
Private Sub myChartClass_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Long, _ ByVal Shift As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long)
Dim IDnum As Long
Dim a As Long, b As Long
The next statement returns values for ' IDNum, a, and b myChartClass.GetChartElement X, Y, IDnum, a, b
' Was a series clicked? If IDnum = xlSeries Then Select Case b Case l
Sheets("North").Activate Case 2
Sheets("South").Activate Case 3
Sheets("West").Activate End Select End If
Range("A1").Select End Sub
This workbook is available on the companion CD-ROM.

I am seriously enjoying it though, especially since I've recently made myself a Goodreads account and I'm steadily working toward my reading goal of 40 books for 2017... we should be friends on Goodreads if we aren't already by the way - I'm always looking for new books to read and I would love you recommendations, you can find me here! I have to admit, I've been reading so much lately, that this post is less of a TBR for July and more of a 'what-I-read-during-one-week-in-July' post, haha! But I wanted to share these books with you guys anyway and I'll try my best to review them... although book reviews have never been my strong point! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this post - you can also definitely look forward to more monthly TBR posts in the future since I'm enjoying reading so much recently. As always, let me know in the comments if you've read any of these books yourself and what you thought of them, I'd love to know!
WILDE LIKE ME - LOUISE PENTLAND // Wilde Like Me is a very refreshingly happy book all about Robin Wilde and her daily issues being a single Mum - the book follows her struggles as she tries to be the best single mum whilst battling against pretty lonely times or as she calls them 'the emptiness' (which I'm sure we have all felt at times!) I have to be honest and say I was a bit skeptical as to whether I would enjoy this book or not, having not been a fan of contemporary and more light hearted books in the past (I normally opt for thrillers!) and having not been a huge lover of YouTuber books in the past - but I seriously fell in love with this book and with Robin Wilde! I really did laugh and cry along with all of Robin's struggles and hard times! Funnily enough, this book served me well as it filled my own emptiness whilst my boyfriend was away for a weekend and I managed to devour this book in no time whilst he was gone! I'm a huge fan of Louise's writing and I can't wait till I get to meet Robin again!
ONE OF US IS LYING - KAREN M. MCMANUS// This book, simply put, is all about the story of five strangers who walk into detention... expect only four walk out alive! Throughout the book you piece together the mystery of the death as you get to see the story from the points of view of the four remaining kids while they try to solve who killed Simon. I'm a sucker for the 'who done it' element of these types of mystery books and I definitely fell into the trap of desperately needing to find out the truth of Simon's death... and therefore never putting down the book! I have to be completely honest and say that the ending did underwhelm me slightly, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was a great book. I especially love the characters who on the surface all seem to fit into certain stereotypes however seem to break away from those roles throughout the book - I loved that element of the storyline!
MY NAME IS GIRL - NINA COSFORD // I love this book as it's my only true coffee table book and definitely sits proudly waiting for guests to flick through it! The illustrations are gorgeous and super relatable and I love the art style- especially the 'what's in my handbag page' very relatable lol - if you're into all things super girly featuring bras, heels and mascara you'll love this - its basically a look into a girls brain and it's amazing!

While it certainly isn't a superhero movie by any means, the upcoming indie drama Pilgrimage has an interesting footnote in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. If it weren't for this movie, we may not have Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man, or Jon Bernthal as The Punisher in Season 2 of Daredevil. While doing press for the upcoming season, Jon Bernthal revealed that, while they were filming Pilgrimage in Ireland, they were both helping each other make audition tapes from the set. Here's what Jon Bernthal had to say in an interview with New York Daily News.
"We were making tapes from Ireland in the process of getting him cast in Spider-Man and then he and I made a tape for The Punisher. During this independent movie that we did in Ireland we were constantly making tapes for Marvel - just acting together. These tapes definitely do exist, you can call Marvel and ask for it, but that's like breaking into Fort Knox."
Hopefully, some day, we'll get to see these audition tapes, perhaps as part of Blu-ray/DVD extras, but their teamwork was first teased this past summer. Back in July, Tom Holland shared a photo with both actors on Instagram, which surfaced just weeks after both actors were cast in their respective roles. While some wondered if this could tease a possible Spidey/Punisher crossover, the actor did include the hashtag #Pilgrimage, revealing it was a photo from the set of that movie.
Tom Holland also revealed in December that he actually had help from two different actors in auditioning for Spider-Man. The young actor was shooting Backcountry first, where he enlisted the help of co-star Joel Kinnaman to make two audition tapes, before moving on to Pilgrimage, where he and Jon Bernthal made three more tapes. Obviously it all worked out, but Tom Holland also reached out to another MCU star, Chris Hemsworth, who he-co-starred with in the 2015 adventure In the Heart of the Sea.
Tom Holland revealed in November that he asked the Thor: Ragnarok star to "put in a good word" for him, and the actor certainly did oblige. Of course, we don't know how much influence Chris Hemsworth's recommendation had on the casting, but it certainly couldn't have hurt. Here's what Chris Hemsworth had to say about recommending Tom Holland.
"I called the guys at Marvel when they were casting (Spider-Man) and I heard he was in the final handful of guys and said, 'Look for what it's worth you're not going to meet a harder working more appreciative kind of guy. I was so blown away by his sort of attitude and work ethic and how good he was.' But then I said to Tom, 'I've told them that, so don't prove me wrong.'"
Since both Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal were auditioning for characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's possible that they may have actually played Peter Parker and Frank Castle together in these tapes. Obviously, the actors hadn't won the roles yet, and we assume they didn't have access to the Spidey and Punisher costumes on the Ireland set, but if these tapes do feature the first performances of Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal as Peter Parker and Frank Castle, they may certainly become hot commodities. What do you think about these new details?

New company Poken seems to be using "customer is king" customer service. Or are they just desperate?
A conference I'm attending mentioned we could bring our "Pokens." I looked it up. Pokens are little Flash drives that when touched together transmit contact information the user chooses to share. They are designed to end writing down lots of contact info at conferences for example – just touch and go. You're in control of what is shared, I would think mostly people would share work emails, blogs, links, Twitter, etc.
While looking into them to see if anyone was using them, I stumbled upon a video of a guy in Canada explaining what lengths Poken went to get him his product from the US the Canada.
Listen past the description of what a Poken is to see how to use one sale to make one person sell your company to many other by treating the customer as king.

News in Brief: A National Roundup
Boston to Allow 10 Schools to Switch to Later Start Times
The Boston school district will allow 10 high schools to try starting their day later, a move designed to increase the number of teenagers who get to school on time.
In a unanimous vote March 7, the Boston School Committee approved a recommendation by Superintendent Michael G. Contompasis to allow the experiment to begin in September.
Most Boston high schools start at 7:20 a.m. The 10 schools, which have not yet been chosen, will be able to choose starting times ranging from 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Early high school starting times are often debated nationally in the face of research showing that adolescents' body clocks make early rising particularly difficult for them.
In Boston, the issue is even thornier. Since students can choose to attend any high school citywide, many must travel long distances by public transportation each morning.

Keep in mind that I'm in my third trimester and always hungry so this was just a B.A.D. idea.
I bought things that I don't normally buy...
like Golden Grahams, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and mini donuts.
In the interest of full disclosure I bought 4 boxes of Golden Grahams.
So yeah... needless to say that after I ate lunch and my hormone levels began to return to normal I smacked my forehead wondering what I had just done and immediately went to the net to find a way to get rid of these things before Hubs and I ate them all.
Trust me. It would happen. And quickly.
Anyway, here's the goodness that I found and the only thing I wanted to say (other than they're crazy tempting) is that, as a known choco-holic, I'd cut back the chocolate chips to just 1 to 1 1/2 cups.
Golden Graham S'mores Squares
What You'll Need
1/4 c butter
1 (10.5) oz bag mini marshmallows, plus 2 cups
7 cups Golden Graham cereal
2 milk chocolate chips
2 milk chocolate chips
What To Do:
Grease 9x9 pan (I used 9x13)
Over low heat, melt butter. Add 10.5 bag of marshmallows (leave the 2 extra cups for later). Stir until melted. Remove from heat and add cereal. Let sit for 2 minutes. Pour in extra 2 cups of marshmallows now and stir in chocolate chips. (They'll get a bit melty at this point so just stir until everything is evenly combined.) Pour into your prepared pan and let cool 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
By the way... this did not stop Hubs and I from eating them all. In fact, we ate more sugar in the end. But as far as snacks go, this was a tasty one and I'll keep it in my back pocket in case I have another weak moment.

NASA has posted an official explanation for the popular "toasty" cam GIF that's been circling the internet for almost a week now.
Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists out there but no, the space agency isn't "covering up" any "secrets" for the Illuminati.
A GIF shows the last frames recorded by one of the cameras that covered the NASA/German GRACE-FO launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base last May 22.
The footage shows the camera melting away like Dali's famous clock obscuring the launch of the rocket.
Curiously, the memory card was retrieved intact despite the camera turning into a mess of bubbling plastic. The camera was set up by veteran NASA photographer Bill Ingalls, who has been shooting for the space agency for about 30 years.
"I had six remotes, two outside the launch pad safety perimeter and four inside," Ingalls told NASA's official blog.
"Unfortunately, the launch started a grass fire that toasted one of the cameras outside the perimeter."
The "toasty" cam was actually one of the furthest from the launching platform, placed some 400 metres away. All four cameras located inside the perimeter were undamaged.
Ingalls was greeted by a group of firefighters when he returned to retrieve his equipment. The seasoned photographer forced open the body and, to his surprise, found the memory card unharmed and functional.
The little blip won't stop Ingalls from capturing NASA's space efforts in the future, though. He will travel to Kazakhstan to photograph the June 3 landing of the International Space Station's Expedition 55 crew.
As for the melted camera, it's likely it will be displayed somewhere at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.

Blogger Breaks Android Face Recognition with... a Picture?
There's always a scene in your average spy action movie thriller that goes a little something like this: The protagonist somehow ends up with a recording of a person's voice (or in gutsier movies, a copy of their fingerprint and/or eyeball), which said super-spy then uses to gain access to a voice-, fingerprint-, or retina-locked room. Valuables and information critical to the plot: pilfered.
One of the new features in the latest iteration of Google's mobile OS, Android 4.0 (codename: Ice Cream Sandwich), is the ability to unlock one's phone using one's noggin. In other words, your phone the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, to use the market's only example at the moment uses its front-facing camera to take a gander at your face. If it recognizes you, the phone automatically unlocks without need for a PIN code or some kind of graphical unlocking mechanism.
Neat, huh?
Of course, facial recognition isn't without its pitfalls the technology just plain didn't work when demonstrated during the Galaxy Nexus announcement this past October. But what happens when facial recognition works too well? Or, to put it another way, what happens when the phone recognizes a face, but the face isn't a living, breathing user holding said phone?
That's the question posed by a blogger over at Soyaincau.com, who has allegedly been able to fool Android's facial recognition system by holding up a picture of himself to a Galaxy Nexus. And it's wasn't even a printed picture of his face: The blogger took a snapshot of himself using a different phone, and then held that phone's screen up to the front-facing camera on the Galaxy Nexus. And that, allegedly, is all it took to unlock the Nexus.
"What's even more important is clarifying to everyone that the test and the video is not a trick. Some believed that we had programmed the Galaxy Note to recognise the picture and not the face. We must stress that this is not the case," wrote Soyaincau blogger "CC." "The Galaxy Nexus in the video was the exact same unit we used to do our hands-on video where we originally set up the device to recognise a face and not a picture of a face."
To Google's credit, however, Android does indicate that facial recognition unlocking is "less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password" when a user goes to set up the feature. That said, amateur spy enthusiasts are likely rubbing their hands together at the notion that a picture of their friends' faces could be all they need to gain access to a treasure trove of smartphone data.

When you're on a rush and happen to find a pair of jeans exactly how you wanted but do not want to go to the dressing rooms and try them on. Here's a simple and helpful trick that allows you to see if they fit in just a few seconds.
All you have to do is to pull the zipper of the jeans and wrap their waist around your neck. If the edges touch effortlessly it means that they fit. However, this method doesn't prove to work when choosing high waist jeans or low waist jeans. You should also make sure if the length suits you by putting them in front of your waist. See the movie below to see if your jeans fit without them try on.
Rules to keep in mind when buying jeans
Don't look on the label when buying jeans because their size might be misleading. Apply the above mentioned trick when you're on a rush. If it's not the case, take two different sizes that you think it might work and try them on. This way, you'll make an investment that you won't regret afterwards.
Dark jeans look good on any body type and they usually look better than the brighter ones. In addition, they can be easily matched with other pieces from your wardrobe. If you want your outfit to have a modern look, always choose ripped jeans, but be careful not to be faded as well. The brighter parts will only highlight your flaws.

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a new version of Form I-864P. This form is used to help green card applicants determine whether they or the "sponsoring" relative meets the income requirements for the Affidavit of Support. The sponsor must meet certain income requirements: they must show that their household income is equal to or higher than 125% of the US poverty level for the household size.
The US poverty guidelines change annually, and are lower for Alaska and Hawaii than for the other 48 states. For example, the poverty guidelines for a household of 4 for the lower 48 is now $24,300. In Alaska, the figure is $30,380 and Hawaii is $27,950. Remembering that the US citizen sponsor needs to show 125% of the poverty guidelines on the Affidavit of Support, the income therefore needs to exceed $30375 (lower 48 states), $37,975 (Alaska) and $34,937 (Hawaii).
For more details about the Affidavit of Support, see here.
Poverty Guidelines
Martin Immigration Law now has a YouTube channel! We will be posting videos as they are finalized. We hope that this visual medium will help clients understand various aspects of complex US immigration laws more easily. Each video plays for 4 minutes or less, and provides a basic overview of the topic. Future videos will cover nonimmigrant visas, work visas, PERM process, I-140, Adjustment of Status, and any topics you suggest.
Please check out our first video, explaining the permanent residence (green card) process through marriage to a US citizen. Let us know what topics you would like to see covered in future videos.
Elaine Martin has been practising US and global immigration law since 1997. She is an immigrant herself (from Ireland), so has a special understanding of the legal and emotional challenges involved in relocating to a new country.

Single, Gay, Christian by Gregory Coles, Free for CAPC Members
Gregory Coles's short autobiography—Single, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity—is wonderfully written, refreshingly honest, and deeply personal.
Every other Friday in D-List Saints, Luke T. Harrington explores one of the many less-than-impressive moments in Christian history.
It's a tale as old as time: some guy discovers a verse in the Bible, he's convinced no one has ever noticed it before him, he doesn't bother to look into what thousands of years' worth of scholars have had to say about it, and he starts his own movement based on a single sentence. Sometimes it's the sort of thing that turns into a weird historical footnote; sometimes it results in strange phenomena like horned Moseses or Calvinism; and sometimes it results in dozens of people dying from snake bites.
This week, we're going to talk about that last thing.
While historians generally agree that there was no one beginning for the uniquely Pentecostal and uniquely Appalachian practice of snake handling, most trace its 20th-century popularity to one man: George Went Hensley. He had been raised Baptist and had had a come-to-Jesus moment or three, but there was one pair of Bible verses that he couldn't get out of his head—Mark 16:17–18, which go like this:
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Hensley heard these words and immediately thought to himself, "It says right there, 'they will pick up serpents with their hands'! Why aren't any of us picking up serpents? Specifically, with our hands?"The story goes that Hensley wandered out into the wilderness to seek God's will, which he was pretty sure would involve snakes.
The passage, for the record, is considered at least somewhat questionable, even by most conservative scholars—it's part of the "long ending" of the Gospel of Mark, which doesn't appear in the earliest manuscripts. Probably more importantly than that, though, the quote is a prophecy, not a command. It's a prediction of what is to come, and it's at least partially fulfilled in Acts 28. Beyond all that, though, the fact that basically no other Christian in history had read the passage and taken it as a command to play with snakes probably should have given Hensley at least a little bit of pause. But unfortunately, Hensley didn't have access to any of this information, because he was illiterate. He couldn't read a word.
In any case, the story goes that Hensley wandered out into the wilderness to seek God's will, which he was pretty sure would involve snakes. While walking through the hills, he came upon (wait for it) a snake, knelt over it in prayer, and picked it up. It didn't bite him—and say what you will, but you can't argue with results. Ecstatic, he took his new snake friend and ran to his local congregation, who were all duly impressed and decided that snake handling was a great idea. Then, depending on whether you ask Hensley followers or historians, spontaneous revival either broke out, or didn't. But whether or not a lot of people got saved, a lot of snakes definitely got handled.
It wasn't long before Hensley was entering the ministry full-time, applying to be ordained in the Church of God via paperwork his wife had filled out for him. (Laugh if you will, but this is the only way I've ever gotten a job.) He was apparently up-front with them about not being able to read, but he had memorized some Bible verses and he claimed to receive direct revelation from God (most of which was "pick up more snakes"), and that was apparently enough for the church. He then proceeded to lead revivals throughout Appalachia, allowing whichever wife he had at the time (he went through several, apparently due to divorces more than snake bites) to do the Bible readings for him, eventually founding the Church of God with Signs Following. He was also arrested for moonshining in 1923, because apparently he wanted to make it really hard for me to get through this piece without making a hillbilly joke.
Hensley continued to conduct his snake-handling revivals until July of 1955, when things ended pretty much exactly how you were expecting them to. He was leading a revival in Altha, Florida, when he decided to pick up a snake and rub it on his face. The snake was apparently okay with this, but when he went to put it back in its cage, it got angry and bit him on the wrist. (Presumably the snake was a biblical literalist—after all, the verse says "they will pick up serpents"; it never says anything about putting them down.) Soon his arm had turned a strange color and he began vomiting blood (Hensley, not the snake), but he refused to seek medical attention, insisting that God would heal him. That didn't work out so well, but Hensley's death didn't deter many of his followers, including his widow, who insisted she hadn't lost "an ounce of faith."
In any case, Hensley had successfully done for snake fondling what Phil Vischer did for talking vegetables, and the practice had become popular enough throughout greater Appalachia that state governments were moving to ban it out of safety concerns—including Georgia, which unbelievably imposed the death penalty on anyone engaging in the practice, arguably undoing whatever public health benefit the law might have served. (The only major exception here is West Virginia, which constitutionally bans any restrictions at all on religious practice. So if you want to sacrifice a golden retriever to Def Leppard, or whatever, now you know where to go.)
And while the laws are undoubtedly excessive, it wouldn't be wrong to point out that even Scripture itself speaks directly against risking life and limb to prove faith. When given the opportunity to do so, Jesus is pretty direct, quoting Deuteronomy: "It is said, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" That's at least as direct as "they shall take up serpents," which is why it's so important to read Scripture as a whole within the broad tradition of the Christian faith—if you're discovering things in it that no one has ever noticed before, despite the fact that millions of people have been reading the Bible over thousands of years, the odds are good that you're the one who's a little confused.
That goes for all those unreasonably angry atheists making YouTube videos, and it goes for the amateur herpetologists in the pulpit as well.
Calvinism as a "strange phenomena". Hm.
Just a joke, friend. (Wait, do Calvinists know about jokes?) A solid majority of our writers here at CxPC are Reformed.
Fortunately there is another way to judge whether our Christian brother's faith measures up. It is not how many divorces they have had, or how misguided are the expressions of the Holy Spirit they seek. It is if they love their neigbor. The mocking and ridicule doesnt seem like love to me.
Not intended as "mocking and ridicule." Just a gentle ribbing. I poke fun at everyone in this column, including my own Christian tradition.
My children are currently vying for the award of "most serpent-like" and handling them is treacherous. So I banished them to their holes to read this piece and I'm ever so glad I did. Thank you.
When reading the Bible everyone should be certain that they understand the text that they are reading and if they don't and they want to do it on their own considered purchasing a Good Quality Study Bible that was printed in 1992 thru 1997, like a K.J.V. King James Version, Matthew Henry Study Bible with commentary on nearly every Verse in this bible. This is the Bible that i use
To comment on your title, the common communion chalice is hardly a health hazard so as long as the rim is wiped clean prior to giving the chalice to the the next communicant.
This snake handling, though, is the real danger. Lol
Yeah, I know. I actually went into all that here. The title is just joke.

Going back. Goldilocks was looking for a temporary rented house. She had flunked college and her parents had thrown her out of the house. She did approach Snow White, Rapunzel and even Cindrella but all of them turned her town. They all thought that she was too naive. They all thought that her past was more colourful than theirs. Strange, since naive and adventure might not always go together. But she was Goldilocks. Rumours surrounded her like dwarfs around Snow White. Goldilocks then had showed them the hand gesture and had approached the Bears. So much for naivety.
Papa was really happy to receive her. He had a room to spare in the garage and was on a lookout some source of money to feed his gaming addiction. Mama didn't care. As long as the money kept flowing Papa's pockets and the whiskey in her glass, all she wanted was the bestselling video games. Little was apprehensive. He was growing up and that age is such that boys are afraid of every good looking girl. Oh yes. Goldilocks was very good looking. In a geeky sort of a way. Dark hair (dyed), spectacles, athletic figure and very fine lips. She kept herself that way. Little took time to digest this fact. Especially when he came to know that she wanted to purse a career in music. Every rock band that he adored, she knew by heart. She knew band-member names, songs, lyrics even the context behind the songs. Little was afraid of her. Yes afraid of her more for the fact that she had all the ways to entice him and he was just like the dust in front of the vacuum cleaner, waiting to be pulled.
Goldilocks never liked Little. She always wanted to stay away from him. Her experiences in the past had told her that boys are never to be trusted. For goodness sake! Even Little knew that he cannot trust himself!
Goldilocks and Little did not share a love-hate relationship. They were just like two thorns on a tree. Facing away from each other, sharp and always ready to prick. Yet they co-existed. Little, for all this childhood that went astray, started liking Goldilocks a little. A little would be an overstatement. Little always did things large.
Little had a friend named Johnny. Good looking chap. The way that makes girls swoon. Little confided in Johnny. Johnny laughed a little. Little laughed a lot. Boys. Who knows what goes on in their mind.
Goldilocks despised Johnny. She told Little about this. About the fact that she found Johnny too pretentious. Little felt happy. He started liking her a little more just because she despised Johnny. Boys. You never know what triggers their feelings.
Then this one day happened. Goldilocks and Little went for Johnny's birthday party. There was a lot of alcohol flowing in that party, and music. Everybody got high and started dancing. Goldilocks danced really well. She was very sensual. Her moves spread over Little's little drowsy senses, like tentacles. He wanted to take advantage of her. That night.
Plan set, they had moved swiftly. Mixed the one all important pill in a glass of vodka and orange juice. Little moved towards Goldilocks. She was lost in the acid trance that blasted from the speakers. Little offered her his glass.
"What's this orange drink?"
"Vodka. I thought you would like a break."
"Oh Little. Grow up. I always drink Whiskey. Didn't you notice till now?"
Little was little aghast. Mistakes aren't to be made like this. Little should have thought about it. Boys. Hormones just take over logic at times.
So much for naivety.

There are many reasons why divorce "should have" happened through the course of our marriage. Chronic illness, business loss, the deaths (physical or emotional) of several children via miscarriages and adoption losses, infertility – each, statistically, more likely to destroy our marriage than not.
We had some tough seasons, to be sure, but in the final scope of things, our marriage was strengthened by each trial and struggle. There were days of pushing away, but typically we responded to stress by clinging tightly to one another
Until about two months after our 19th anniversary.
Becoming special needs caretaker and brain-injured childish invalid, rather than husband and wife equal partners, was a devastating blow we almost did not overcome!
During the season of about 6-18 months into the stroke recovery process, as more and more severely impaired brain connections rebuilt and I became a very weepy, ANGRY, forgetful, accusatory "mean drunk" (a valid description, as it is temporary impairment of the cerebellum, via alcohol, that causes symptoms of "drunkenness" like poor judgement, slurred speech, staggering walk, etc.) we dealt with HOURS of my irrational yelling at Rick:
Every. Single. Night. Months, into years, on end.
I lost my ability to cry at sad and needed times. Except for during any conversation with Rick. Somehow my brain transformed the idea that Rick had always been my "safest person," into the inability to hold a rational conversation with him, on any subject, even as mundane as the color of the sky, without sobbing hysterically. This went on for about four years.
Tears still don't come as appropriately or easily as they should, but I can talk with Rick without the constant torrent of leaky eyes and hiccup-y breathing, most days, now. For this we are both exceedingly grateful!
During the brain rewiring, angry stage, I asked Rick to leave. By God's grace, he did not. When we could no longer hold onto each other, we each held onto Jesus as our only lifeline. We stuck to our tattered vows out of stubborn commitment, not to the promises we had made to each other, but to the promise we had made to God on the day we married. Ecclesiastes 4:12(b) became powerfully real to us as we came to understand that Jesus was the central person in our marriage, the one holding us together!
There were long stretches of months when it was a grit-our-teeth, physically painful experience to even be civil in public and nearly impossible to be alone in the same room together. There were no romantic notions of love. For several years we didn't even LIKE each other any more.
Grace is the key here. From God, expressed by both partners. I have many friends in broken marriage where, though the issues leading to divorce are never only one-sided, one partner was really trying to hold on, and the other threw in the towel and walked away. That so very easily could have been us. If that is you, please know I hold no condemnation toward you and am deeply saddened over the trauma you have endured. Keep cling to Jesus, my friend!
About two years after the strokes, when I could still barely even shower without assistance (fun stuff when you don't even want to be seen naked by your husband and you don't have the capability to do needed self-care like wash your hair or shave your own armpits – eww!), I remember telling my counselor that even though it was, physically, nearly impossible to function without his help, I was tremendously relieved when Rick went on a trip for a few days. I felt like I had room to breath. To "be me" without apology, for a few days.
The Lord is restoring the years the locusts have eaten. I knew we were healing when Rick left on another business trip (takes 2-3 most years) between the 5- and 6-year-mark, and, rather than relief at the emotional freedom, mixed with dread over the physical dilemmas, as I had on every other occasion, I simply just missed him for the first time. Wow, that's a new feeling!
Our marriage will never be the same as what it was before October 25, 2011. It is becoming, and will continue to grow, richer, stronger, more solid, more loving, and yes, even more romantic, than we ever could have imagined.
It will never be the same because it is becoming so much more!

Social media — when used strategically
over time — is arguably the most powerful
form of marketing the world has ever seen.
Social Media Marketing Toronto
Everyone understands traditional word-of-mouth marketing. People buy from people. Whether it's about simple things such as which brand of cough remedy to buy, or bigger decisions such as who to consult with when buying a mortgage, we've always taken into account the opinions of those with experience or knowledge of a product, service, or for that matter, a business, in order to get the information we need to make an educated decision.
Today – with so many people utilizing social media to have conversations – social media marketing has become a powerful "word of mouth" channel. According to a Nielsen's report on Global Trust in Advertising and Brand Messages, a whopping 92% of the world's population trust recommendations of other people regarding products and services, while only 47% trust ads on TV, magazines, and billboards. In today's marketplace, brands need to go back to making people talk about them instead of talking at people.
At every stage of the customer life-cycle, online video and social media can help integrate paid, owned, and earned media more closely to increase impact and ROI.
Even B2B buyers are using social media during the buying process; meaning that your SEO strategy and your efforts to publish content on blogs, industry press sites, and online communities are all integral parts of your content marketing strategy.
Mystique can help you develop social media marketing strategies to engage customers and prospects alike. Let's get busy.

The Book Club is reading "The Privileges" in September. Come to the online meeting Friday, September 24th, from 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. E.T., and join Dee for a live author chat on Wednesday, September 29th at 2 P.M. E.T. You can also submit questions for Dee in advance.
For Sally, the pivotal event in "The Privileges" is Adam and Cynthia's visit to the lavish Connecticut home of Adam's boss, Sanford. I think Sally's absolutely right that this is the transformative moment for Cynthia. But, for Adam, I think the life-changing crux arrives a little bit later, at the party on the Intrepid, when he conceives the insider-trading scheme that launches him out of the "legions of pathetic, sullen yes-men who had faith in the world as a patrimony." The scene has the feel of a religious conversion and Adam justifies his stirring and surprising leap with a rhetorical flourish:
It wasn't enough to trust in your future, you had to seize your future, pull it up out of the stream of time…. He knew what he was risking. But it was all a test of your fitness, anyway. The noblest risks were the secret ones. Fortuna favet fortibus.
Sanford talked a good game but he wasn't about to give up what was his except maybe in his will, just like all the other bloated old satyrs capering around on this big docked ship. As for Adam, when he was lying speechless in some hospital bed after his third coronary, everybody would think he was thinking about one thing, but he would be thinking about something else.
As Adam's profit-making prowess soars—"suddenly there was money for everything"—and the Moreys' quotidian troubles fall away, Adam and Cynthia are left to contend with the two things that wealth cannot make disappear: time and death. Of course Adam shares his name with the first mortal man, who lost his everlasting life when he and Eve sinned against God (and it's no accident, I think, that sin, or "Cyn," is in Adam's wife's name), but Adam is drawn as a kind of immortal. Even as Cynthia contemplates plastic surgery, Adam's ever-youthful looks and commitment to an exacting fitness regime cause his own brother, Conrad, to accuse him of being a vampire. "What kind of Faustian shit is going on here?"
Yet, in another example of the red-herring foreshadowing that Ian discussed, there is never a Faustian payoff for Adam. Both of his children have near-death experiences and Cynthia spends the book's concluding sections at her father's deathbed, but the closest Adam ever comes is the moment when he declines Sanford's offer to take over Perini. He realizes that his insider-trading days are over and this, briefly, precipitates an existential crisis. With a pen, he calculates how much he's stashed away offshore.
There was enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives; but what did that even mean? It was unsettling to think of money in terms other than those of growth, of how it might be used to make more money. Something about it smelled of death to him but he didn't know why.
"He didn't know why" tells us everything about Adam, who abhors reflection. "The cache of things capable of troubling Adam seemed to clear itself every week or so." When he confesses his crimes to Cynthia, she responds with an answer that would make Carmela Soprano proud:
I know why you did it. I know you did it for us. I'm fucking proud of you, if you want to know the truth. You are a man, Adam. You are a man among men. Let them come after us. They can't touch us.
Adam wonders, "Why hadn't he understood it before? No wrong for him but whatever was wrong in her eyes." This bond between Adam and Cynthia, which leads to the creation of their charitable foundation, is mysterious and amazing even to their children, but I found it convincing. "That's the real context of everything they do—each other," Jonas tells the art-history professor, Agnew, who replies, "That is some end-times shit."
I kept having to remind myself as I read the book's latter sections, that Adam was still only in his mid-forties during all this, hardly old at all. "Time will kick your ass," Deborah tells Cynthia. But apparently not Adam Morey's. When we last see Adam, he is in his hotel room in China, regretting the fact that he hasn't exercised in five days.
He was in better shape than most men half his age, but what people didn't appreciate was how fragile a state it was. You had to work hard to maintain it: let up for even a moment and that is where time took over.

Graciosa is in my personal opinion the most beautiful of all the 9 islands. But all the islands
have their very own " per-
sonality ". Graciosa has a mild climate, and a very gentle nature with smooth hills, which can be seen from a long distance.
Graciosa is about 8 x 12 km. If you have the time, you can easily spend 3-4 days to discover Graciosa. The population is
about 4660.
The most important town on the island is Santa Cruz. The airport is about 3 km. outside the
center of the town. If you
come to Graciosa by the ferry from Angra do Heroismo at Terceira, you will arrive in Praia, (also known as Sao Mateus).
A town that in the past was the most "important" town on the island.
The most interesting attraction on the island is absolutely FURNA DO
ENXOFRE. An extinct volcano with a crater,
which it is possible to enter all the way to the very bottom. Many years ago a tower was placed there with internal steps,
that leads you rather comfortably to the very bottom. At the bottom there is a beautiful large deep lake.
The opening at the top of the crater is fairly small, which make the visit even more exiting. This attraction is in my opi-
nion a must to visit. You can drive by car all the way to the crater entrance. The best time for a visit is between 11.00 AM
to 14.00 PM.
It can be difficult to rent a car on Graciosa,
specially during the summer. There are busses which take to all of the
island, but only for some time of the day. You have to ask at the tourist office when you are there. So I recommend that
you " rent a taxi " for a day, or for some hours. It is very easy to hitchhike.
In Carapacho there is the
health spa TERMAS DO
CARAPACHO, which
provides treatments with thermal water, and
claims to cure some bone and skin diseases. It's open from 1. May to 30. September.
The lighthouse at the point of Carapacho gives you a wonderful view towards Terceira, Sao Jorge, Pico and Faial.
Monte Nossa Senhora da Ajuda is the highest point around Santa Cruz, and gives
you a magnificent view over
Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas. In the outskirt of Santa Cruz towards the airport, there is a modern swimming-
pool area, with all the facilities you need.
There are only 3 residencias on Graciosa, with a total number of 44 rooms.
During some periods of the year it may be
be difficult to rent a room. An alternative could be renting an apartment. It may even be cheaper for you than residencias.
In the town of Feteira, which is centrally located on the island, is a modern fully equipped and very nice apartment for
4-5 people. Contact Georgina Ferraz, who speaks very well English by Tel. 295 71 24 86 or write to:
Georgina Ferraz, Canada Grotao, Feteira 38, 9880 - 204 Sao Mateus, Graciosa.
2 restaurant's which I would like to recommend are Restaurant
"O Golfinno" ( also known as "Dolphin") in Carapacho,
Restaurant "Toma-la-da Ca" in Praia.
In Santa Cruz there is a beautifully placed bullfighter arena. On occasions there are
bullfights in the arena, and " Bullfight
by the rope " in some of the small villages around the island. When you are on Graciosa, DON'T miss this opportunity to
see what this is all about. It's very exiting and gathers many people from all over the island. Read more about this event in
specifics on the bullfighting page.

Stik your buck with BuckStik!
Unlike urine based lures, BuckStik taps into the very basic psyche of a bucks communication with the herd. By presenting the main glands used for communication (through rubs & scrapes) and establishing herd dominance, it's in a bucks very nature to have to interract with the BuckStik line of products.
Deer, mainly bucks, establish a pecking order within the herd, and BuckStik uses their own scent based language to get inside their heads ...And the results are proving it!
100% pure collected from mature bucks,
Our glands never go bad and only get better with age
From Mid-October through January is the best time for BuckStik interaction!
Thinking outside-the-box and proving it works! From BuckStik to our specially blended gland scents... We're changing the game!
At BuckStik we're providing a complete system designed to interact with the deer in your herd. With every card pull we learn more about the interaction through glands.
All of us here at BuckStik love our country; support our military; respect our flag; believe in the 2nd amendment, but most of all we love to hunt mature whitetail bucks!
With an extensive background in ventilation, design and manufacturing, Chris owns several successful patents. But for the past 33 years, bow hunting has always been a passion for him. As Chris puts it, " It was a natural transition for me to jump into the hunting industry."
For over ten years I've been using and honing the technique of using sticks to communicate with mature, dominant bucks. Back in the day, we just used a real stick to get our footage, but bucks could never really interact with it the way they wanted to... through trial, error, and observation, it has evolved to what you see today.
Customer service, American made, and quality are my highest priorities!
