In the 15 games since his team’s 2013 bye, Palmer is averaging 277 yards 1.8 touchdowns and 0.8 interceptions. Those are fringe QB1 numbers, and he has a nice receiving corps (including Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown) to throw to. Everything is going smoothly with his recovery from ACL surgery, so he's our favorite late-round sleeper at the QB position. For more on Palmer, be sure to read the Sleeper Alert that Senior Editor John Paulsen issued back in June.
People tend to forget with Colin Kaepernick, because he had such great success early, that he's only been a full-time starter for two years. He's still a young quarterback, he's still learning the craftsmanship of the position and the subtleties of the position. With a new coordinator, I think Geep Chryst, my sense is, I think he'll try and be a little more expansive and explosive with the pass game. So I'm anxious to see that. I think they'll try very hard to get Vernon Davis back into it. So I think it's important for people to remember that Colin Kaepernick is still a young quarterback learning.
He was the #14 QB in 2014 after finishing #9 the season before, though his overall production only dipped by 11 fantasy points. He's a bounce-back candidate provided new OC Geep Chryst can design an offense that can move the ball. Chryst previously served as the OC for the Chargers in 1999 and 2000, but his offenses ranked 26th and 28th overall in that span. Any gains that Kaepernick can make as a thrower (due to his offseason work with QB coach Dennis Gile and former Rams/Cardinals QB Kurt Warner) will only help his overall value.
As for Davis, he's quite a bit better than the numbers he posted last year. His 50 targets were his fewest since 2008, and his usage was way too low considering he has finished in the top 8 at his position in four of the last six seasons. He was targeted just once in the red zone after seeing 20 red zone targets in 2013.
49ers QB Colin Kaepernick was mostly on point throughout the minicamp. Sure, at times there were a few passes he'd like to have back. Kaepernick was intercepted twice in three days: Michael Wilhoite caught a deflected slant pattern; Jaquiski Tartt victimized Kaepernick on an end-zone pass to close out a situational two-minute drill. Other than those two passes, Kaepernick was decisively accurate with the football. Perhaps the most striking observation of the 49ers signal-caller was his accuracy on the move. One of the hardest throws to make is a rollout throw to the left for a right-handed quarterback. But not for Kaepernick. San Francisco's fifth-year quarterback is able to complete nearly every one of his rollout throws. Kaepernick used the three-day period to continue his chemistry with Smith as well as other prime targets like Vernon Davis and Anquan Boldin.
It was reported earlier in the offseason that the team planned to utilize Kaepernick’s running ability to a greater degree. Kaepernick ran the ball 12 more times in 2014 than he did in 2013 for an additional 115 yards, so it's not like he abandoned the scramble. It sounds like it's more about utilizing the read-option as a larger part of the offense. If that's the case, it could be a boon to Kaepernick's fantasy value.

If you think 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick's release is more compact, you're right.
"It's the first thing everyone sees -- how fast the ball comes out of his hand," QB Dennis Gile said. That's a result of all the alterations -- from his head to the bottom of his cleats -- that the quarterback has made. "It's not about how hard you can throw it or how fast you can get rid of it," Gile said. "It's how quickly he can release it while still being relaxed."
One of the main things that changed was Kaepernick's stance. Gile said it was too narrow. That is, his feet were close together -- "real tall on his tippy toes," Gile said -- and when he took a step to throw the ball, that step was too big, too exaggerated. That elongated his release.
It's also helped his accuracy. Gile said Kaepernick made the biggest gains with his deep passes. That has to be good news for wideouts like Torrey Smith and Jerome Simpson, who were brought in this offseason to add firepower to a deep passing attack that had been lightly utilized in previous seasons.
Gile said he expected Kaepernick to return to Phoenix and continue to work on his craft during the team's break in early July.

The San Francisco 49ers may only be two days into minicamp and a few weeks into the offseason program, but Torrey Smith said Wednesday that the chemistry is already building between him and his new quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The two aren’t new acquaintances; Smith said that he and Kap had trained at the same facility in past offseasons. He referenced Kaepernick’s “cannon” and how it differs from the strong arm of his former Baltimore Ravens teammate Joe Flacco.

The makeover of Colin Kaepernick was so noticeable, tight end Vernon Davis wondered if his eyes were deceiving him.
Kaepernick spent 10 weeks at the beginning of the offseason in Arizona working on his mechanics with private quarterback coach Dennis Gile. He also spent about one day a week on the mental aspect of the game with two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner.
Neither Kaepernick nor Davis spoke specifically about the mechanical changes, but Kaepernick said everything he did was aimed at becoming a better quarterback to enable the 49ers to win more games.

After working with 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Kurt Warner came away impressed with his arm. Now, he wants to make sure he doesn’t use his legs too much.
During an interview with Rich Gannon on SiriusXM, Warner said he thought Kaepernick would be better served staying in the pocket, rather than allowing his incredible athleticism to become a crutch.
“He can’t do all the running,” Warner said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. “Now he’s got to become more of a pass-first guy and complement with his athleticism. And he’s never been asked to do that before. And so that’s the process that we kind of went through in the couple of months I was working with him."
Warner spent 10 sessions working with Kaepernick in Arizona this offseason, according to the story, and said he hoped the work helped keep Kaepernick focused on moving the ball downfield. Last year, Kaepernick averaged just 7.0 yards per pass attempt, and the 49ers went out and bought Torrey Smith in free agency in an attempt to stretch the field.
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner are teaming up this offseason.
The Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows reported Tuesday that Kaepernick will spend the spring at EXOS in Phoenix with Warner and quarterback coach Dennis Gile.
Kaepernick is looking to rebound after a disappointing 2014, and Warner will be there to help. According to the report, Warner will focus on film study and 7-on-7 drills with Kaepernick.
Kaepernick finished as the #15 QB in standard formats. He rushed for 641 yards, which was second-most among quarterbacks, but only rushed for one touchdown. We're expecting better fantasy numbers from Kaepernick in 2015.
The biggest beneficiary in the Ken Whisenhunt hire should be Jake Locker, the Titans’ talented but injury-prone quarterback. Whisenhunt has worked successfully with young quarterbacks (Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh), old quarterbacks (Kurt Warner in Arizona) and in-between quarterbacks (Philip Rivers in San Diego).
But it also ups the pressure on Locker. Entering his fourth pro season, he is at a crossroads. At some point this year, Whisenhunt will decide if Locker is indeed a franchise quarterback or if the Titans need to go a different direction.
Personally, I think it is a terrific pairing. Locker has worked in two different offensive systems — the first one run by Chris Palmer, the more recent by Dowell Loggains — over the past three seasons. Whisenhunt will provide new direction.
Steelers OC Todd Haley’s offense has something for everyone. For QB Ben Roethlisberger, there’s the promise of virtually free rein to run the no-huddle offense. For running backs Isaac Redman and Rashard Mendenhall (when he gets healthy), there’s the promise of a blocking fullback. (Yes, those are two-backs you’re seeing. It’s not an illusion.) For the wide receivers, there are simpler pass routes that don’t require as much reading as they do reacting. For the linemen, there aren’t as many blocking adjustments as before (at least they’re saying there aren’t).
The offense seems designed – paraphrasing Haley – to run when it has to run and pass when it has to pass. Roethlisberger , the NFL’s most-sacked quarterback, should benefit from a system that’s designed to keep him upright, in rhythm and on target all while getting rid of the ball as quickly as possible. Kurt Warner loved the Todd Haley offense, and Haley seems confident Roethlisberger will, too.
“I think this is going to play out with Kevin Kolb becoming the starter for the Arizona Cardinals,’’ said Warner on NFL Network, where he is an analyst. “When I talk to people in the organization and what I’ve seen, everybody believes that Kevin has everything you need to be a starter in the NFL. He’s smart, he works hard, he’s got accuracy, he’s got mobility to run around and make plays, which we saw him do a number of times last year.
The NFL continued doling out punishment for the New Orleans Saints bounty program on Wednesday, suspending linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the entire 2012 season for his role in the team's pay-for-hits system.
Defensive end Will Smith will sit out four games.
Anthony Hargrove, a former Saints defensive end who signed with the Green Bay Packers in March, was given an eight-game suspension. Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita was suspended for three games.
The NFL found that Vilma offered $10,000 of his own money to any team member who knocked Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of 2009 playoff games.
This is obviously a blow to the Saints defense and with all the changes amongst the coaching staff, they look like a unit to target in 2012.
San Diego wide receiver Bryan Walters caught a 14-yard pass from Billy Volek with 3 seconds left to lift the Chargers past the Arizona Cardinals 34-31.
The chemistry that quarterback Kevin Kolb and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald keep talking about was on full display early for the Cardinals. They connected on an 80-yard play for the quarterback’s first touchdown pass with his new team.
Philip Rivers completed 18 of 28 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers (2-1) as both teams played their first units well into the third quarter. Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, in his first game since Dec. 5, caught two passes for 18 yards, including a 13-yarder for a touchdown.
Patrick Peterson, Arizona’s top draft pick, intercepted Rivers’ pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown, and Andre Roberts scored on a 34-yard reverse for the Cardinals (1-2).
We are going to see the Fitz we saw with Kurt Warner. He'll be one of the first receivers off the board in most leagues, and he'll justify his draft position. Kolb projects as one of the safer QB2s. As for the Chargers, it was great to see Gates looking good and healthy, and Rivers showed why he is one of the steadiest quarterbacks in the fantasy universe.
The Arizona Cardinals are working on a deal with former New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards. The deal is not a lock to happen and could fall through.
It would be a good move for the Cardinals if it happens. New quarterback Kevin Kolb might not be Kurt Warner, but if he's got Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald, and Todd Heap as targets, he's going to have some big games.
Kurt Warner pointed out that Marc Bulger “got beat up pretty good” as the starter in St. Louis, and that it wouldn’t surprise Warner to learn that Bulger is “happy” as a backup, and that “he can just enjoy life and not have to worry about the pressure of being an NFL starter and everything that goes with it.” Again, Warner was careful not to phrase his assessment as criticism, and Warner said he thinks that Bulger would want to start again if he finds the right situation.

Remember, as a child lying in bed and listening to stories. Remember how engaged you were. Remember how you never got bored of them and always wanted to learn more.
Here's 10 of the most powerful types of sales stories you can incorporate into your ads and sales letters?
1. Introductory Stories: These are stories about who you are, why you're writing to them, and how you have assisted other people and/or businesses.
This is a perfect way to connect with your target audience and generate rapport. Reveal something personal about yourself within the story? and establish credibility and trust.
2. Stories Which Overcome Fears: Everyone has fears of some type. Identify the greatest fears and concerns your customer has. And then show how other people? just like them? who had the same concerns? overcame them, and discovered there was nothing to worry about.
If you're selling a health product, the client may be concerned it will not work for them. Tell the story of somebody else who felt the same and where they are now. Perhaps incorporate this structure within one of your testimonials.
This is a classic "Feel? Felt? Found" approach. I understand how you feel. My previous customer used to feel the same way. His experience now is?
3. Ego-Enhancing Stories: This type of story shows how people respect and look up to people who use your services, or own your product.
For example, if you were selling a Mercedes Benz? you could talk about a guy who bought one recently and how his colleagues, family and friends were so impressed.
4. Attention Grabbing Stories: These are used to get people to focus on you, your products and how you can benefit them. They explain why your customer should sit up and listen to you? right now.
Here's an example from a sales letter from a company called "The Supper Club?"
"How can I get in on this deal?"
The question was posed by a Daily Reckoning reader who was referring to a deal I mentioned. Unfortunately, it wasn't a stock. It was a private deal. And it was too late to get in anyway.
But it's why I'm writing you today.
5. Product Information Stories: Don't just list the features & benefits of your product or service. Tell a story which integrates this information.
6. Improved Productivity Stories: Outline exactly how your services and/or products have assisted companies to increase their profits, become more efficient, increase output and reduce down time.
Tell a before and after story of one of your customers. You'll never guess how much (other customers) business has changed since they started working with us?
7. Family Togetherness Stories: This type of story demonstrates how your product or services has caused families to come together.
8. Money Stories: The idea here is to show people how your product or service will save or make money for your customers.
For example, if you're a mortgage broker, give a case study of a past customer? and how much money they have saved through swapping over to you.
If you're an accountant, reflect on how you helped a specific customer save thousands of dollars on tax last year? because you're up to date on all the tax changes.
9. Security Stories: This is a prime example of how you would go about selling an insurance policy. Tell a story about how your products have allowed your customers to sleep safely, and with peace of mind.
This could be used in the insurance industry, alarms, people selling trusts, pest and termite controllers, safe cars like Volvos? or any industry where people buy to feel more secure.
At the same time, it could be used for anybody who helps people to make more money? or ensures reliability. For instance, a marketing company could explain how safe one of their clients feels about their business with all the extra income being generated.
10. Closing Stories: Stories can be used here to close the sale and sum up all the benefits you have to offer.
Visit my web site for your complimentary copy of my ebook (valued at $29.95) and free subscription to my ezine "Copywriting Selling Secrets" where you'll discover how to write ads and sales letters that sell. And one's which put money in your pocket over and over and over again.

ABOVE: Photographer Eadweard Muybridge and tycoon Leland Stanford teamed up to find evidence for how horses run.
Leland Stanford, founder of the university that bears his son's name, became obsessed with horses even as he helped make them obsolete. Stanford moved from Wisconsin to California in 1852, and made a fortune as a merchant in Sacramento during the California Gold Rush. In 1861, he was elected governor of California. One of the four cofounders of the Central Pacific Railroad, he used his political clout to secure land and funds for the railroad, and after his term ended he became its president.
On May 10, 1869, Stanford personally completed the transcontinental railroad with a golden spike.
Less than a year later, Stanford began buying racehorses. He developed a harness racing training method with Charles Marvin, called the Palo Alto System, which emphasized beginning speed work with colts earlier in their development than previous techniques and led to success on the racetrack. And he became preoccupied with learning how horses run. In 1874, according to Edward Ball’s book The Inventor and the Tycoon, Stanford likely saw an article in Popular Science on the gait of horses. It described experiments by the natural historian Étienne-Jules Marey indicating that all four of a horse’s hooves leave the ground during its stride in the gallop. Stanford wanted to determine the positions of the legs during the trot so he could use the information to improve the Palo Alto System. He had a hunch that all four feet also leave the ground in a full trot.
To find out, he hired Eadweard Muybridge, an ascetic, wiry photographer who was well known in California for his pictures of the Yosemite Valley (later the National Park) and for having been narrowly acquitted of murdering his wife’s lover.
Stanford initially had Muybridge take single photographs of horses pulling sulkies, or racing buggies, before they hit upon the idea, in 1878, of creating a series of images. Muybridge stretched tripwires across the track, each connected to a single camera, so that as a horse trotted past and its legs hit the wires, it triggered the shutters. The resulting series of 12 and later 24 pictures showed clearly that the horse’s hooves indeed left the ground as it trotted full speed. The images were reprinted in Scientific American and the French journal La Nature, making Stanford’s and Muybridge’s work internationally famous. In 1880, Muybridge publicly debuted a “zoopraxiscope” he had invented that projected the series of images to create an early motion picture.
The book is a comprehensive review of everything that was then known about equine locomotion, complete with 107 illustrated plates that include horse anatomy; drawings of horses walking, running, trotting, and leaping over fences; and Muybridge’s famous series of pictures. Muybridge’s name is mentioned only in the book’s preface, as “a very skilled photographer” whom Stanford hired, and in a technical appendix. Muybridge unsuccessfully sued Stanford to receive credit, and the two never reconciled. “There was contention as to who owns the copyright” on the images, says Stanford University archivist Daniel Hartwig.
Muybridge moved to the University of Pennsylvania, where he continued making films of animals and human subjects in motion. He went on to a career in show business, showing his collection of moving pictures around the country and in Europe. At Chicago’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, he had a theater built just for his movies. Muybridge gave it the clunky title of the “Zoopraxographical Hall,” which along with high ticket prices may have contributed to its being a flop.

In 2010 the city of Pomona leased an empty lot across the street from the Community Center to the church for a Community Garden. In 2011 the garden was dedicated to the neighborhood as the Center Street Community Garden. Pomona Hope is proud to partner with First Presbyterian Church of Pomona. This effort reduced crime in our immediate neighborhood by 40% in the first six months.
The vision of the garden is to grow food, people and community. Families tell us they save over $100 a month in grocery bills. In the future, Pomona Hope hopes to pilot a scalable model for urban green-space and gardening, as well as continue to impact the local community positively in terms of decreasing crime, increasing relationships, allowing opportunities to learn about gardening, agriculture and nutrition, and improving the lives of neighbors both through the beauty they see outside their doors, and the nutrition of food they can put on their dinner tables.
On the first and third Saturday of the month we have Garden Workdays. Whether you are a plot holder or not, you are invited to put in some work in the garden and then take home some produce from our community plots.
You can also reach our Garden Coordinator, Barbara Evans, at (909)918-GROW.

Washington (CNN) The White House is proposing to spend more than $2 billion in funding for a new FBI headquarters, infusing cash into a stalled effort to replace the downtown Washington building.
The allocation, which would have to be approved by Congress, comes tucked inside President Donald Trump’s new infrastructure proposal and amid a war Trump is waging against the law enforcement agency’s top officials.
In a statement Monday, the FBI said it had submitted a report to the Senate on a “nationally focused consolidation strategy for FBI headquarters” that recommended the construction of a new building on the bureau’s current site on Pennsylvania Avenue. As part of the report’s proposal, the FBI would relocate operations and personnel from the current facility as construction was underway, the agency said.
“The FBI believes this proposed consolidation strategy enhances mission resiliency, continuity of operations, and will provide the Bureau with the agility necessary to meet future needs,” the agency said.
The General Services Administration, the government agency that oversees federal real estate, said over the summer it had scrapped long-standing plans to construct a new FBI headquarters in the suburbs outside the nation’s capital as a result of funding gaps.
Although the GSA initially asked Congress for $1.4 billion to fund the project in the 2017 fiscal year, the agency said in July, Congress appropriated only $523 million.
President Trump’s proposal to revamp the nation’s roads and bridges landed with a thud on Monday, with Democrats chastising the $200 billion federal offer as too small to address the nation’s needs.
“This is not a real infrastructure plan — it is simply another scam, an attempt to sell our nation’s infrastructure and create windfall profit for Wall Street while rolling back environmental protections,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), the ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Republican reactions were much more positive, with Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) saying Trump was right to make improving infrastructure a national priority.
But Ryan focused his remarks on provisions in Trump’s plan that would cut red tape for projects, and did not clearly endorse spending $200 billion to spur on private investments across the country.
Getting conservative Republicans on board with spending $200 billion on infrastructure will be a tough sell, and even more so after a budget deal that included $300 billion in new spending over the next two years. The combination of that bill and December’s tax-cut legislation is causing budget deficits to soar.
Trump’s proposal would inject $200 billion of federal seed money to create $1.5 trillion in total spending on infrastructure over 10 years. Half of the federal funds would go toward an incentive program to match financing from state and local governments investing in rebuilding projects.
Democrats argue this is simply not enough to rehabilitate U.S. infrastructure and that state and local governments can’t afford to fund the projects.
They also derided the plan’s reliance on tolls.
“It’s a plan designed to reward rich developers, large banks and the president’s political allies, not to rebuild the country,” he said.
Democrats also blasted the administration for cutting other transportation funds in the new budget to reach the $200 billion number.
“[T]he Trump budget actually slashes billions of dollars from infrastructure investments that prevent deadly floods, connect rural communities, and create good-paying jobs across the country,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is pushing a plan to invest $1 trillion into infrastructure projects.
An infrastructure plan has been seen as a long shot in 2018, an election year in which there is little incentive for Democrats to work on legislation that could provide Trump with a victory. Trump decided against moving forward with an infrastructure plan at the beginning of his term, choosing instead to focus on the more divisive issue of ObamaCare repeal.
In addition, House conservatives have never been wild about the idea of adding to the deficit to pay for infrastructure improvements.
Nonetheless, some key Republicans remain hopeful that progress is possible.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster(R-Pa.), who is retiring at the end of his current term, said the administration’s proposal creates “a golden opportunity” for bipartisanship on rebuilding.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), the ranking member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said Monday that he would work across the aisle on a rebuilding bill.
“We need to make real investments — not cuts — in Florida and communities around the country,” said Nelson, one of 10 Senate Democrats up for reelection in states carried by Trump in 2016. “That’s why I plan to work with Chairman Thune and my colleagues on the Senate Commerce Committee to try to come up with a bill that can garner broad support and include ideas from both parties,” he added, referring to Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).
Thune, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, said he looks forward to working with lawmakers in both parties on a future bill.
“Through this guidance and letting Congress have the opportunity to write bipartisan legislation, President Trump has offered us direction to meet infrastructure needs in our nation’s states, cities, and rural communities,” he said.
Such comments were in the minority on Monday, however.
Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.), another member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, criticized the proposal for moving money around.

Shelter from the rain just got high-tech and invisible. A research and development team from China has come up with a battery-operated Air Umbrella, which creates a shield against rainfall via a jet airflow.
The gadget may seem like something out of a James Bond movie, and though it's still in the R&D stages, it is gaining popularity on Kickstarter. The Air Umbrella has surpassed its $10,000 Kickstarter fundraising goal with over $33,000 in support from over 275 backers.
Two models run on a 30-minute battery life -- not ideal for long commutes in a downpour, but the creators say they are working on improving that. The very visible (and bulky) base resembles a flashlight. Several versions provide options for a range of consumers.
The "b" or basic umbrella is about 20 inches long and weighs over a pound and a half, while the women's "a" version is smaller, at about a foot long and just over a pound, with only a 15 minute battery life. The scalable "c" product, which can be shortened from 31 inches to about 20 inches, is slightly heavier at 1.87 pounds.
As innovative as the product seems, this is not the first time air umbrellas have surfaced. As CNET points out, a Korean designer came out with the concept in 2010, but it never took off.
The latest inventors, who hold doctorates and advanced degrees from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, designed each umbrella to operate with high-speed jet air flow. "Jet airflow can isolate some objects," they explain on the Kickstarter site. "So when we make use of the airflow, we can protect ourselves from the rain drops... Then the airflow forms an umbrella with out visible cover."
Just like your traditional nylon taffeta umbrella, air umbrellas don't provide the best coverage in torrential rainstorms. The tech version also makes some noise. The developers admit that the products are most suitable for urban "users who are not demanding."
They're also a lot pricier than traditional umbrellas: the market price of the product is predicted to run around $200.
Funds raised on Kickstarter will go towards improvements in the appearance and battery life of the device.
Researchers say they will start manufacturing next year, and supporters can expect to receive their products by December 2015 -- or they will get a refund if creators can't make their deadline.

Union minister Nitin Gadkari Wednesday suggested that Rahul Gandhi should learn Marathi to understand the comments he made after the Congress president posted a video of the senior BJP leader purportedly saying that his party had made "tall promises".
Gadkari said that in an interaction with a Marathi channel last week, he was asked about the promises made during the polls.
Union minister Nitin Gadkari Wednesday suggested that Rahul Gandhi should learn Marathi to understand the comments he made after the Congress president posted a video of the senior BJP leader purportedly saying that his party had made "tall promises" .
"The report is 100 per cent baseless," he said.
The senior BJP leader said he did not name the prime minister, the BJP nor did he speak of giving Rs 15 lakh.
"From when did Rahul Gandhi start understanding Marathi? He should have understood Marathi from someone. He had done this before. Without understanding it, he commented on what I did not say," Gadkari said.
Gandhi had Tuesday shared the purported video on Twitter in which Gadkari says in Marathi his party had made "tall promises" to the people.
Its English transcript quotes him as saying that they (BJP leaders) never thought they would come to power and were suggested to make "tall promises" .
Gandhi in the tweet said, "Rightly said. People also think that the government has made their dreams and hopes a victim of its greed."
According to Gadkari, "So, during the Maharashtra state assembly polls (late BJP leader) Gopinath Munde ji and (Chief Minister) Devendra ji (Fadnavis) had told him to announce that toll would be abolished the BJP comes to power. I said let's not do it because this action will lead to a problem as it will be difficult to implement it.
"Then they jokingly asked are we coming to power? I said, if we come to power then I have to solve it. I had said after so many years of staying opposition... when we prepared manifesto, we would make many assurances because we had no experience of being a party in power," he said.

Modern astronomy has been transformed by the computer sciences in a number of ways. Large computerized instruments now collect almost all our information about the universe. This data is deposited into large databases called Virtual Observatories. This data, unlike photographic plates in general, is made publically available on line so that researchers, whether professionals or amateurs, can access it. This has led to a re birth of amateur astronomy with significant contributions both by experts and interested publics. An example of this is the Berkeley Open Infrastructure Consortium (BOIC) which allows the public to be involved in research ranging for malaria and climate modeling to analyzing data from planets.
A second impact has been the growth of computer simulations as a major way of developing scientific hypotheses, particularly in complex systems or systems with large numbers of particles. This has been particularly successful in cosmology and modeling the evolution of structure in the universe where we now have a self consistent simulation that models the universe from soon after the big bang to the present. Scientific simulations have acquired an independent status as verifiable hypotheses in astronomy. Some have called this development the End of Theory in the sense that in cosmology there is no compact description of the universe with predictive power (as is the case for instance in quantum mechanics or electricity and magnetism). Instead the hypothesis consists of a computer model, with a large number of built in physics and system descriptions, together with rules for calculation. Predictions of the simulation are then compared with data from large data bases, often in virtual observatories.
The third impact has been the development of scientific visualization techniques for investigating and searching for correlations and patterns in large datasets. Analytic techniques coupled with visualization techniques are credited in leading to new discoveries (an example is the work of artist Donna Cox with the astronomer Colin Norman); there are a number of examples of visualization driven discovery in mathematics, and a field called Visual Mathematics, has evolved. The classical field of Image Science has been re invigorated with new possible connections to the arts.The result of these three development: large open data bases, simulation techniques, and scientific visualization have led to changes in both the content and methodology of modern astronomy.
Certain problems could not be attached without modern computer science, hence the direction of research is modified, and the scientific method itself is changing with scientific simulations acquiring epistemological status.

This is a big topic to cover, so I will break it down into a series of articles, to make it manageable. This article covers basic terms and facts so you can learn enough to make wise choices when starting your new flock.
Having your own chickens is a great way to supplement your food supply and to increase your food security. Even if you only have them for the eggs, you will have the peace of mind to know that should times get hard, you always have the option of butchering them for meat. In many situations, though, it is usually a little more expensive to raise and butcher your own, then it is to buy packaged chicken at the store. But, meat you have raised yourself will be fresher and usually healthier than most store bought meats. Even if there is a large scale contamination problem arising from store bought meat someday, your own food supply will probably not be affected, as long as you take some precautions, which I will discuss later on.
They will need you to provide feed and suitable housing year round, so they can remain healthy and productive. Keeping them restricted to your own property is a must and can be challenging, since chickens can fly, after a fashion. Flying up to and over a 6-foot-tall fence, for most chickens, is not a problem, but finding their way back over it to your property, without help, and before it gets dark, may be expecting too much of them. Chickens are almost blind at night. You may need to go round them up and help them find a way back to your yard. Limiting noise and odors and providing sanitation are vital unless you live in a very rural area. While some neighbors may welcome a rooster crowing early on a Sunday morning, most will not.
Unless you have someone who is willing to take care of them twice a day when you are not there, going on a vacation or staying away from home is difficult to do. Chickens, like any livestock, need to be cared for 7 days a week, rain or shine, summer and winter. Predators will quickly know where to find a good meal and, at some point, you will most likely lose some birds to them. But there are ways to keep this to a minimum.
Any animal that eats meat, loves a dead chicken.
Predatory animals can vary with your location, time of day and season. The main culprits are hawks, owls, fox, raccoon and can include your neighbor’s dog. It is just something you should be aware of from the beginning. You will, most likely, at some point, have need to kill an injured or sick bird quickly. This usually means a firearm, which can be a concern for some – especially if you have small children.
Another thought is bio security.
With the Avian Flu that is infecting so many these days, you must be able to limit the people who are allowed to have access to the chickens. Especially other people who raise chickens.
It is a good practice to leave a pair of rubber boots to be used only in the chicken’s area. This way you won’t bring in unwanted disease into the chicken’s area and you won’t track in manure or disease into your home.
Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the chickens or any equipment used in their care. Keep feeders and watering equipment clean and pay attention to the birds so you will notice signs of injury or illness quickly and keep loss to a minimum.
You should make sure you are allowed to raise chickens where you live.
I would first look around and see who, if anyone is keeping a flock. (A flock can be any number of birds) I would use caution asking town officials if you are allowed to keep chickens. If they say “no”, you will then be on their radar. Most towns will allow you to keep at least a few chickens as long as you keep it clean and quiet. I find it best to ask for forgiveness rather than beg for permission. But use your judgement.
Chickens come in almost any imaginable color, so if you do not want to advertise, look for birds in subdued colors, like the one’s below.
If you want to be even more discreet about raising chickens, you may be able to put your coop inside a kids play set or hide it in a shed or even a large dog house. Making it look like an old hot tub may work too.
You can make just part of it hidden, too. Like under a porch but with an enclosed run in the open. If you use shrubs in the corners, you can string thin wire mesh between the shrubs for a run. It shouldn’t be very noticeable. Put some lawn furniture around it, maybe. Some people have built them partly underground even. Just remember to give them a way to run above ground as much as you can. They shouldn’t live locked away in a shed all the time.
You can raise just hens (females) for eggs and go unnoticed by most people if you are discreet. Including a rooster (male) in your flock will make a lot of noise and announce his presence to the world. The positives are that they will guard the flock or at least warn them (and you) of danger, as they perceive it.
stealing them or using force against you or your family to acquire food, or if you might be going against town regulations by keeping chickens, then a loud rooster might not be a good idea. Discretion rarely goes unrewarded.
But, if you plan to have a self-sustaining flock, meaning a new generation of chicks each spring, then a rooster is a necessity unless you want to butcher the flock before winter sets in and then buy new chicks in the spring. Hatching eggs and raising chicks can require some special equipment and knowledge plus time and work. You may want to get used to raising mature birds for a while first before jumping into that.
The color of an egg has no bearing on how nutritious it is or how it tastes. All other factors being equal, they are the same. Different breeds lay different color eggs. In the early 20th century, most people thought that a white egg represented a more “farm fresh” or “natural” egg.
Today, the brown egg is the fashion. Eggs come in many colors like dark brown, speckled, blue/green and others. The only factors that effect taste and nutrition is the diet and health of the hen.
“Chicken wire” fencing is not good to use when building your coop. It is too flimsy and will not keep out any predator and can trap the head of a chicken accidentally. Use hardware cloth. You can get it with different size mesh and it is much stronger.
When making “hard boiled” eggs, using a slightly older egg will make peeling the shell off easier. As the egg ages, the albumin, the clear, runny liquid in the egg, pulls back a bit from the inside of the shell and when boiled will make getting the shell off easier.
Fresh eggs have a GoreTex like membrane covering the egg to allow the egg to “breathe” and keep moisture out. Once you wash it though, you wash the membrane away.
Chickens use the same orifice (called the “vent”) for defecating and laying an egg. Urine and feces are excreted from the vent together. Chickens do not have a separate orifice for urinating.
Gardening and raising chickens are a perfect combination but chickens should not be let loose in your garden while it is growing, they will destroy it.
If you are concerned about ticks and Lyme Disease, get a few Guinea fowl. They LOVE ticks and will keep your property almost tick free. They can be kept with chickens and will not destroy your garden like chickens, because they do not scratch at the ground or peck your veggies. The hens also lay some eggs, which are very good to sell to restaurants, but will not lay as many as chickens. But, they make great “watch dogs” for your property as they will sound the alarm when any intruder (human or animal) is near. Their alarm call sounds like they are hollering the word “buckwheat”. They love to look at themselves in a mirror. Guinea fowl are low maintenance, too. They will tend to fly higher and range father than chickens do. If you need to keep them away from prying eyes, they may not be for you.
Ducks are also great for eating bugs in the garden and will not damage anything, unlike chickens. Plus, they are very weather resistant and tolerate cold well, usually. But, they are messy and take more maintenance than chickens or guinea fowl.
All of the poultry you read about today will help keep you and your family a little healthier, safer And more secure.
Thanks for the reminder about avian bird flu and the need to wash hands after handling hens, eggs, etc. Also, I’ve found I must wait three weeks to make a home-raised egg into a boiled egg that I can remove the shell from. Yep, 3 weeks, just like the ones sold in the grocery store-3 weeks old. Our hens LIKE meat; but I give ours fruit and vegetable peelings, not banana, though. I have raised big red mangle beets in the garden this year, to test as hen fodder; as a supplement to pellet diet during winter. I guess it’s easy for hens to get bored (especially in our tiny enclosure). That’s when they start pecking each others feathers away. So giving them a distraction to chomp on, like a big red mangle beet, and also letting them free-roam will stop the nasty habit of pecking themselves ugly!

Golf carts offer the benefit of running off rechargeable batteries instead of burning fossil fuel, but the batteries eventually require replacement. If you have a 36-volt golf cart that runs on six 6-volt batteries, you can replace them with three 12-volt batteries, which often are easier to find.
Disconnect and remove the six 6-volt batteries from the golf cart.
Arrange the three new 12-volt batteries in the battery compartment of the golf cart so that the jumper cable can span the distance between the positive and negative terminals of adjacent batteries.
Assign a number (1, 2 ,3) to each of the batteries for the purpose of following the description of the connection process. Connect a jumper cable between the negative terminal of battery #1 and the positive terminal of the battery #2 by sliding the connectors on each end of the jumper cable over the terminals and tightening down the nuts securely.
Connect a jumper cable between the negative terminal of battery #2 and the positive terminal of the battery #3.
Connect the positive lead from the golf cart to the positive terminal of the battery #1 and the negative lead from the golf cart to the negative terminal of the battery #3 to complete the job.

A 38-year-old man suspected of vehicle theft is under arrest in Abbotsford, but police say he actually captured himself.
A tweet from the department says officers responded to calls early Wednesday about a parked van that was "shaking violently."
Police quickly determined the van was stolen.
They opened the back doors of the vehicle to find the suspect had locked himself into the rear of the van and had no access to the front because a metal wall separated the cab from the back section of the vehicle.
The man was taken into more conventional custody and remains behind bars.
Abbotsford police say charges of possession of stolen property are being considered.

The Rotary Club of FishHawk-Riverview is a proud supporter of Rotary’s Camp Florida. Located in Brandon, the mission of Rotary’s Camp Florida is to provide special needs user groups with clean, safe, barrier-free camping facilities. The camp’s vision is that all special needs people may experience the fun and enjoyment of camping.
At the conclusion of her presentation in January, 1991, Karen casually mentioned that the Center was losing the facility it had previously used. Several members of the club were real estate brokers and knew that the United Methodist Church owned an old summer camp right in the heart of Brandon. They had closed the camp because it was not economically feasible to operate it. A small group of club members met at the camp in March 1991. The Center thought that the camp would be perfect for their needs. The Methodist Church was willing to sell the property for charitable purposes, for the land value, throwing in the buildings at a cost of $440, 000.00. As the camp had been built in the 1950s, and was not designed for special-needs children, substantial work and repairs were required. The cabins needed air conditioning; every window and door needed replacing; the roofs were past their useable lives; the cabins needed insulating; it was necessary to replace the roof and insulate the cabins; the electrical system had to be completely upgraded and there were sidewalks needed throughout the property. A committee was formed to study the feasibility of buying and operating the camp. The property on which RCF sits was purchased and remodeled with the proceeds of a $558,000.00 loan from Fort Brooke Bank. Twenty eight Rotarians personally guaranteed the loan. The then 17 Rotary Clubs in Hillsborough County contributed $100.00 per member and contributed over $110,000.00, to cover the first year’s operating budget.
The campgrounds and facilities are owned by Rotary’s Camp Florida, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. The corporation operates under the supervision of a Board of Directors with members coming from the various Rotary clubs and Districts.

In the 60th issue of the Bed and Breakfast E-Traveller, we take you to Winnipeg, Manitoba -- Art, Ballet, Theatre, Music, Sports, Concerts and Exhibitions ... Winnipeg offers it all!
Winnipeg is bursting with energy in the summer after our winter hibernation. Even the hugely popular "Bears On Broadway" have awakened as the "Bears Beyond Broadway," located on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature. Alfresco dinning areas pop up at our many ethnic and diverse restaurants.
Visitors may take a ride on one of several antique trains, such as the Prairie Dog Central, or view waterfowl at the Oak Hammock Marsh, or see a Bison herd at the Fort Whyte Centre. One of the busiest places in the summer for outdoor activities is Assiniboine Park with its English Garden, Leo Moll Sculpture Garden, 1.5 km of paved trails through an urban forest, and a zoo.
The Lyric Theater is another big attraction in the park with many free live outdoor performances throughout the summer, including performances by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Other cultural events include: the Winnipeg Fringe Festival from July 19-30; "the Wizard of Oz" at Rainbow Stage in Kildonan Park from August 1-14; and one of the more popular cultural events of the summer, Folklorama from August 6-19.
Sports fans can take in a Goldeyes baseball game (204-982-BASE), a Blue Bombers football game, or live horse racing at Assiniboia Downs Race Track on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, May through September.
For history buffs, there are many museums throughout the city. There are walking tours such as the one in the Historic Exchange District. You may choose from several sites to make up your own mind on whether Riel was a traitor or hero. There is the theatrical tour of St. Boniface Cathedral called "In Riel's Footsteps" and the Riel House National Historic Site. The Forks National Historic Site offers guided tours and the informative dioramas of the Manitoba Museum are not to be missed.
Winnipeg Beach Art + Culture Co-op Inc presents the Fifth WAVE Artists Studio Tour on September 2-3. As summer moves into fall, visitors may choose to attend one of the many Fall Suppers sponsored by churches and community groups in Winnipeg and the surrounding area.
"Fall Migration Dinners" at Fort Whyte Center run September 1 to October 30, where you'll enjoy a lovely meal and watch thousands of geese gather on the lake at dusk.
Other fall events include "Scattered Seeds Craft Show" on October 20-22. Oktoberfest is another popular end of summer celebration.

With sagacity and good humor, Rav Berg continually reminds us that there is nothing to be gained from a literal reading of such stories by unraveling their real meaning into eternally relevant spiritual teachings and, more importantly, a spiritual technology to bring about transformation and, ultimately, closeness to the Creator. The information embodied discloses the true structure and purpose of the universe, along with a methodology for leading a spiritually fruitful life.

Wrigley Field, home of the cubs, remained steadfastly hopeful in the years leading up to the 2016 World Series, and rightfully so, because it finally happened!
“Bewitched Baseball”: What is the Curse?
Quite evidently, this “curse culture” is alive and infamous in the realm of Major-League Baseball. on the bright side, however, the Chicago Cubs no longer have to worry about their own!
In sports (largely professional), a team that experiences an era of consistently below-average statistics and/or poor performance can be considered “cursed.” There is little tangible evidence that supports the idea that an external force is plaguing the team or causing it bad luck, but by observing the team over a period of time, particularly one that otherwise has a good record, a simple graph would propose a less-than-random event is present. Why would a team that is normally good suddenly have terrible competitive performance? Furthermore, how could the team not bounce back after a prolonged period of time? These questions back the theory of the curse. But this phenomenon is not simply a concept that “explains” a sports team’s dry spell. It can also play a significant role in social culture.
Some consider the notion of a curse quite seriously, while others see it as metaphorical and symbolic. Many deny the very idea that the universe would supposedly “have it out” for a sports team. However, in prolonged periods without major or affirmable success, allegations that a sports team is cursed can begin to suggest more than just extensive bouts of bad luck.
The Cubs won after a dry spell lasting more than a century. The events of this past season are unforgettable history in the making!
While likely the most recent/popular curse to date, the Cubs are certainly not the only case. Other historical instances in American baseball that suggest the presence of a curse include the brutal “Curse of the Bambino” between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. In 1920, the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The Red Sox had won four World Series in the previous eight seasons. Since this trade, however, the Yankees won 26 titles and the Red Sox won 0. The curse lasted until 2004, where it was broken after the Red Sox beat the Yankees to the World Series and won the pennant against the Cardinals. Another famous curse in history that has not yet been broken is actually afflicting the Cleveland Indians, who came close to breaking it this past season. After a poor trade involving Rocky Colavito in 1960, the Indians didn’t make the playoffs for 30 years. The team has yet to seal a win at the World Series, thus “preserving” this curse for now, but they did make land 2nd place this year!
