Obama: Missile Defense Buster
“Star Wars” is often used as an anti-Reagan epithet, to make the former president appear doddy or delusional. Star Wars was in fact the brilliant strategy that would place in earth orbit, defensive weapons able to shoot down entire salvos of nuclear payload ballistic missiles before they could reach North America. This was not science fiction. A space-based global missile defense shield was not just possible, but relatively cheap (in defense budget terms) to implement.
The proper national reaction to potential nuclear threat from ballistic missile attack should be first to defend against such an attack. At the outset, to defend is cheaper than the attempt to disarm the enemy. Anti-ballistic missile defense, unlike multi-national disarmament, is something which the United States government can control. It is sophistry to think that because the United States of America is a “good” country full of “nice” people, that our example will be sufficient to pacify antagonistic regimes. It is also foolish to believe that if we disarm our stockpile of nuclear deterrents and defenses that other nations will respond to our helplessness with compassion. These scenarios are the philosophical landscape of President Obama, and he has backed us into a corner from which we have no adequate strategies to escape.
An April 20, 2011 analysis paper by James Jay Carafano, outlines the history of ballistic-missile technologies and the efforts by the United States to construct adequate defenses against them. The paper is a sad indictment of failures in the Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama administrations, to address what is the single most dangerous threat to the security of North America.
The 1972 Anti-Ballistic Arms Treaty was an attempt to curb the threat of nuclear missile attack between the United States and the Soviet Union. It called for limits on the manufacture of offensive nuclear arms, and allowed for limited, ground-based interceptions of ballistic missile launches. It was not an effective strategy for the free world and was abandoned by the Bush II administration in 2003.
Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI or Star Wars), was a leap in thinking that would place defensive operations into earth orbit. The doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was unacceptable to Reagan. He opted for the “protect and defend” capabilities of a high tech, space-based array of ABM weapons. The program was underway, but incomplete, when Reagan left office. However, the mere possibility that this technology could exist sent the Soviet Union into a frenzy of military spending that was partly responsible for its collapse in the early 1990s.
Unfortunately, with the fall of the “Evil Empire,” Bush I did not follow through with SDI and, without the threat of nuclear strike from the USSR, the program was mothballed.
Clinton gutted the space-based missile defense programs. He also used the elimination of U. S. ground-based, short-range missile defenses in an effort to appease the wounded Russian regime. The Republican Congress in 1999 passed The National Missile Defense Act which was subsequently signed by Clinton. But that law was limited in its effectiveness because of obstacles in defense appropriations. By this time momentum for missile defense programs was waning.
Although Bush II de-authorized the ABM treaty of 1972, he was unable to mount a vigorous missile-defense program during his presidential tenure.
The worst is yet to come. One of Barak Obama’s first acts as President was to cut the missile defense portion of the defense budget by up to 50 percent. In an explicable act, he cut ground-based interceptors in a number of tactical locations in the United States by 30 percent. The Obama administration then cut the Bush II-era “third site” ballistic missile defenses located in Poland and Czech Republic. This was not only an affront to the national security of the United States, but a slap in the face to our allies in Eastern Europe. When the Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty (START) was ratified by the Obama administration and Democrat controlled Congress late in 2010, it was another in a series of acts that would effectively neutralize the United States as a nuclear super-power, giving the Russians room for nuclear weapons development and expansion, while decreasing the power and scope of our nuclear capabilities. The unintended, and terrifying implication of START and the severe cuts in missile defense, is that the Russians are the least of our worries. Rogue and unstable regimes such as North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan have displayed their ability to send Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) our direction. President Obama has ripped away what little protection we had prior to his inauguration.
Obama does not have a budgetary problem with anti-ballistic missile defense. The budget for missile-defense is roughly 2 percent of the defense budget. The portion of the federal budget which is devoted to the defense of this nation is only 5 percent of the whole. Obamadoes have an ideological problem with the United States as a military super power. Barak Obama likes the U.S. military inasmuch as it bolsters him politically, but there appears to be an innate contempt on his part for the greatness of the American Armed Forces. This kind of ideological response to a devastating and deadly threat is simply unacceptable.
The Heritage Foundation, in an instance of ironic timing, produced a video in 2008, “33 Minutes”, which lays bare the ramifications of a weak ballistic-missile defense program. Little did we know how much more real those ramifications would become with the newly elected president.

A senior military official says he could have been purposely misled by an American official about casualties after a raid in Afghanistan.
The Operation Burnham inquiry is investigating allegations in the book Hit and Run that six civilians were killed during a New Zealand-led raid in 2010, and what happened was covered up.
Brigadier Christopher Parsons, who was in Afghanistan, said a US military official who showed him a paragraph from a report said there were no civilian casualties.
He reported that back to New Zealand.
"It categorically clears both ground and air call signs of any allegations - it states that having reviewed the evidence, there is no way that 'civcavs' (civilian casualties) could have occurred," he said.
Brigadier Parsons said it was possible he was purposely misled, or the US official misinterpreted the question because other parts of the report - which he wasn't shown - mentioned the possibility of civilian deaths.
Colonel Rian McKinstry, who was a senior national officer, said there were numerous reports of casualties after the raid that needed to be verified.
He said that included one that suggested 20 houses had been destroyed and killed civilians.
Colonel McKinstry read from an email exchange at today's hearing.
"The sense of relief that I describe in this email came from the realisation that if there had been any civilian casualties it was due to an accident that was completely beyond our control," he said.
Colonel McKinstry said the casualty reports needed to assessed properly because they came from a range of sources.
The hearing continues.

A livid Virat Kohli was left hugely disappointed by his side’s performance at home against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday as he claimed, in the aftermath of the 21-run loss, that his side ‘handed KKR the game’.
Stand-in captain Kohli opted to bowl after winning the toss but a sloppy showing on the field saw his side concede 200 in the first innings, at least 20 more than they ideally should have. The pacers were uncharacteristically off the money, but there were also two drop catches, by Siraj and Harshal Patel respectively.
And then in the second innings, a lackluster showing meant that the home side could only get to 179. Kohli didn’t mince his words, and rued RCB not capitalizing on openings.
“To be honest we handed them the game. We did deserve to lose,” Kohli said at the presentation.
“We handed them a victory. We were certainly not up to standard. If you look at the game, we didn't capitalize our chances. We dropped a few chances which cost us 25-30 runs. We set up ourselves really well.
“We ended up hitting the fielder to balls which weren't wicket taking. It is what's on the scoreboard and how to get them.”
RCB fell 21 runs short and Kohli bemoaned the lack of partnerships. On the night, Kohli’s men had a solitary fifty-run stand and were guilty of throwing away wickets at regular intervals.
“Even while chasing, despite losing wickets we were one partnership away from being in the game. We needed one partnership to get us home. We need to be switched on and not give away soft plays,” Kohli said.
The upcoming assembly elections in Karnataka means that RCB will not play again at the Chinnaswamy till May 21st. Each of RCB’s next five matches will be played away from home. But Kohli played down the daunting prospect of playing five consecutive away games, and asserted that his side will be up for the challenge.
“We have won one and lost one on the road. It is not something that is making us nervous. We need to win some away games to be in good shape for the later stages of the tournament.”
RCB have a four-day break, before taking on the Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on May 1st.

Post by Avaerilon on Aug 8, 2014 17:02:59 GMT
The Embassy Programme of Avaerilon
To the various honoured nations of the Social Liberal Union; greetings.
My government has decided, after a lengthy review of paperwork, that we need to confirm which nations we have full diplomatic relations with. As a result, we invite the nations of the world to apply to join our embassy programme.
What does Avaerilon offer?
Avaerilon is one of the leading nations in the Social Liberal Union, with an active, respected Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and interests in many nations. We have served in the Cabinet of the region's Parliament and as the region's Delegate, as well as one of the larger nations in the region. Avaerilon is a highly-democratic, cultured nation, that has always had a fascination for anything foreign. With a vibrant population made up of many cultures and identities, we are an interesting nation, even without our beautiful landscape and long, proud history. Our security status is safe, and crime "non-existent" according to World Assembly censuses.
Each nation will be afforded an embassy building within the centre of Lyndyenium; our largest city and the centre of much of the federal government. While we do not offer embassies in our capital of the Minas Avalon, everything you need and more is included in this beautiful city. Typically, your embassy will be located in the elegant neighbourhood of Satrynel, which is home to numerous large buildings well-equipped to be embassies. If you would prefer something close to the city's main economic centre, then we can recommend the Lersamdrag Regnerol area to you, which is home to several large banks, merchant banking institutions and the headquarters of numerous prosperous companies. If you seek more privacy and seclusion, Tevorn Regnyr, based around the large, lush park of the same name, is home almost exclusively to the elegant mansions of the wealthy, and a respected arcane institution.
Your embassy will be considered, to all intents and purposes, your own sovereign territory; it and the land it is built-upon is considered yours until such a time as your nation no longer operates an embassy in the Magnificent Kingdom . Avaerilon supports GA Resolution #22 Diplomat Protection Act.
If you wish, you may establish consulates in various other cities, which we will list for you. Consulates do not always offer the same services as your embassies, but are still vital to your citizens' needs.
What does my own nation need to provide?
Prospective nations will be required to fill-out a formal application. A criteria must be met for Avaerilon to consider your request. This is that:
- Civil Rights are classed as "Average" or better
- Political Freedoms are classed as "Average" or better
- Your staff will agree to respect the laws of Avaerilon and its culture while in the nation
- You are not at war with the Magnificent Kingdom or any of its allies
- Your nation has not been convicted of an offence by the justice system of the Social Liberal Union
If you believe that your nation meets the criteria, please complete this form:
- Full Name of Nation:
- Government Type:
- Head of State:
- Head of Government:
- Minister of Foreign Affairs or Equivalent:
- Ambassador's Name:
- Ambassador's Family (if any):
- Brief Resume:
- Are there any health or security issues local authorities should be alerted of?
[b]Staff and Equipment Information[/b]
- Diplomatic Staff:
- Security Staff:
- Service Staff:
- Will you be hiring locally?
- Number and Type of Weapons:
- Number and Type of Vehicles:
- Would you like to have one or more consulates in Avaerilon? If so, please state where:
- Do you have any special requests?
- Would you like ourselves to set-up an embassy in your nation?
- Would you like to enter into trade/treaty talks?
- Is there any additional information we should know?
- Please declare any drugs, alcohol, animals or plants you are bringing into the country:
Please note that vehicles (including boats and aircraft) may not be fuelled with petroleum or other such derivatives of crude oil as per environmental regulations. Avaerilon is happy to provide alternatives at no extra cost that may be safely used in engines designed for petroleum or other crude oil derivative use, or assist in the conversion of engines to the use of permitted fuels such as hydrogen.
Following your application, your foreign minister (or equivalent) will be contacted by myself to inform you of the result of your application.
Consulates are available in: Please see this for information
I hope that you find this information satisfactory, and choose to establish solid relations with our nation.

Chimi Dema | Dagana
For the first time, after more than three decades of citrus business, Santa Bir Tamang is struggling to find buyers. Usually, the farmer from Kana gewog in Dagana would have sold the entire orchard by now.
“But today, no vendors have come looking for oranges this time,” he said. “It might be due to the pandemic, I suppose.”
Until last year, he used to earn at least Nu 250,000 from the 300 citrus trees in his orchard.
“I was expecting to earn around Nu 400,000 this time as the fruiting is better, but now I’m worried,” he said.
Santa Bir Tamang earned enough from selling oranges to raise his family for the past three decades.
Worried about the market, another farmer in Tashiding, Ganga Prasad Gurung who has about 1,500 citrus trees sold the entire orchard to a vendor at Nu 225,000.
At least three vendors used to appear at his door to negotiate the price at this time of the year. “This year there was only one,” he said.
Goshi gewog also recorded a bumper harvest from improved management, adequate water and manure.
“This year, I am expecting around Nu 40,000,” a villager said. “I remain hopeful that the concerned agencies would help us.”
In preparation for orange export, the dzongkhag agriculture sector was tasked to work on the expected production of oranges this year.
Dzongkhag agriculture officials said that the report would be submitted to the Department of Agriculture Marketing and Cooperatives (DAMC) soon.
Seven gewogs submitted an expected production of more than 440 metric tonnes (MT) so far. Khebisa is expected to produce almost 200MT the highest among the gewogs.
Meanwhile, the stakeholders meeting coordinated by DAMC to strategise seamless orange export amid the Covid-19 pandemic have come up with three strategies.
The DAMC’s Chief Marketing Officer, Younten Jamtsho said that given the difficulty for Bangladeshi importers to visit the country in light of the pandemic, it was decided that they need not come here to regulate the quality of oranges like in the past.
“Instead, the relevant stakeholders involving DAMC, Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) and exporters would regulate and ensure that only good oranges are exported,” he said.
Younten Jamtsho said that they would also meet with registered exporters from different regions and ask them to inform their counterparts in Bangladesh about this change.
“However, if importers do not agree with the decision, we would need to facilitate their visit and ensure that they follow safety protocols,” he said.
If none of these options works, he said they would propose to the government to buy back the cash crop so that farmers are not affected.
“Keeping it for ourselves and considering making it into pulp by the National Post Harvest Center is one of the options if the government cannot export after buying back,” he said.
“The orange pulp, which is a concentrated form, can be stored for about a year and used for processing juices,” he said. “We would ask Bhutan Agro Industry Limited to buy if the government cannot find a market.”
Younten Jamtsho said that the government could also consider opening numerous trade routes including Lhamoizingkha, and Sibsoo to facilitate transportation of orange during the export season.
“We’d meet again next week to see if importers agree with us and the transit route in India would allow the movement, and also to finalise our strategies,” he said. “Hopefully, our export will go as usual.”
He said that the agencies were also keeping in touch with the Indian counterpart to facilitate export during strikes.
Bhutan Export Association general secretary, Tshering Yeshi said that in an effort to help growers and exporters, the agriculture ministry and other agencies have assured to facilitate the export of oranges and mobilise the required manpower.
Going by the renewable natural resources statistics 2019, Bhutan has exported over 15,000MT of oranges to India and Bangladesh last year. Of the total, more than 14,000MT was exported to Bangladesh.

With thousands of football fans pouring into TD Place in two weeks and watching the home opener on TV, the pressure is on to beautify the park outside the stadium.
Lansdowne Park project manager Marco Manconi said Thursday he would consider it a major victory if workers roll out sod before July 18, the first Ottawa RedBlacks game at the rebuilt stadium.
The urban park has an opening date of Aug. 15, but the city and Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group want a picture-perfect setting. Those first overhead and canal-side camera shots of the stadium televised nationally are huge for the city.
Advancing the park has been particularly challenging since winter stuck around Ottawa longer than expected.
Council's finance and economic development committee received an update on the full redevelopment from OSEG.
CEO Bernie Ashe ran down the statistics and planned events:
- 90% of the condo and townhouses have been sold.
- 84% of the retail space is leased and another 8% has pending agreements.
- The Ottawa 67s will return to the refurbished Civic Centre on Oct. 10.
- An event to recognize Frank Clair, the great football coach whose name was formerly attached to the stadium, will be held in September.
- The Ottawa Fury home opener July 20 is projected to have 15,000 fans, which would be a record for the North American Soccer League.
- OSEG continues to talk with the feds on the idea of Rideau Canal water taxis.
The redevelopment has even impressed some past naysayers.
Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, one of three councillors this term who voted against the OSEG partnership, said she was "blown away" by the work at Lansdowne. Still, she wants to know the status of the finances, and although staff didn't have the hard numbers Thursday, they said the project is within budget.
However, one big cost item is still outstanding: The unanticipated $17 million to repair the Civic Centre's roof. OSEG and the city are at odds over who should pay for it. OSEG partner Roger Greenberg said the issue has been "punted" to next year.
Lansdowne could see events other than football and soccer games before the snow flies. Ashe said OSEG is trying to get some smaller concerts this year before pursuing larger acts in 2015.
Mayor Jim Watson continues to shoot down accusations that the retail component is nothing but a box mall.
While council directed that part of the shopping district be unique, Watson said it’s virtually impossible to pull together a slate of truly distinct stores and that it’s “risky” for City Hall to tell the retail market what it should have.

The following is a slightly more expanded version of my last update to Katie's Karma Corps.
Can you recall a time when to escape and re-create your self for a moment that you lit a few candles, turned out the lights and just listened to the sounds of silence? I am sure you can. You may also recall that the candles would suddenly gutter and almost extinguish themselves from some sourceless zephyr of breeze.
That is rather what December 15 was like for Katie and our family. With the power of our angels supporting us, we approached the post-surgery consult with Dr. Reedijk with hope and a belief that the worst was surely behind us. We expected that our movement forward might not be as swift and without obstacle as we would wish, but that the road would be relatively smooth.
Regardless, you’re probably tired of this preamble and wondering what the hell happened. In a nutshell here it is: The appointment was not quite what we were expecting, cancer found in 1 lymph node, and we did not get 1cm clear margins around breast tissue (0.3mm clearance). So now Katie will undergo CT scans and bone scans on December 23 at Mt. Sinai and PMH then meet with chemo and radiation teams probably at Credit Valley Hospital.
I have written to you before that as you experience this you become familiar with an entirely new and previously foreign vocabulary. One of the most frequent terms encountered is that this is all just a journey. Well, I am here to tell you that this journey makes the rape of Nanking look like a slightly raucous Sadie Hawkins dance. It makes Masada appear as a somewhat difficult to access picnic spot. This is no journey folks. A journey is something with romantic overtones that you pursue voluntarily. This my friends is a forced march to an uncertain future where shock and anger become daily realities. Where the candle flame of hope does indeed gutter relentlessly. Where the will to persist is challenged on almost every front.
I noted with sadness the passing last week of Christopher Hitchens. Whether you agree with some, all or none of his stupendously contrarian views, no one can deny the brilliance of his writing. I came upon the following quote and it seemed more apt than anything for this period of our life.
“Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”
With your help and continued support we will live intensely. We will cling to the belief that the collective power you provide and the super feisty attitude of Katie will some day lead us to a point where the flames never gutter. Where the light shines brightly and we feel the warmth of the sun.
Thank you from Katie, Gabriel, Samuel and one very tired old man. We appreciate you and continue to honour you. We send you great blessings for Christmas and whatever else you choose to celebrate.

The American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre will be host to the Los Angeles date for an advance screening of 20,000 Days On Earth—the lyrical and inventive documentary on musician Nick Cave (from Drafthouse Films, the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and Canadian distributor, filmswelike). The Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028) screening takes place July 10, 2014 and will be followed by an intimate audience-based conversation and a rare solo piano performance by Nick Cave, in which he will play a number of songs from his extensive catalog. Doors will open at 7PM and 20,000 Days On Earth screens at 8 PM with Nick Cave taking the stage immediately after the film finishes. Attendees will also be able to purchase an exclusive, limited edition commemorative poster designed by Mondo artist and art director, Rob Jones.
Additional dates for special, advance screenings of 20,000 Days On Earth will take place around the country, to coincide with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ North American Summer 2014 tour. The film will have a wider, traditional theatrical release this September.
In association with Goldenvoice, three event screenings will take place at The American Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles (July 10th), The Phi Centre in Montreal (Aug. 1st) and The French Institute Alliance Francais’ Florence Gould Hall in New York City (Aug. 4th..) Each of these screenings will be followed by a conversation with the rock legend himself, during which Cave—in a rare solo piano performance—will play a number of songs from his extensive catalog.
The rest of the advance screenings will take place in many of the same nationwide cities as Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ Summer 2014 tour, offering his fans the unique opportunity to watch the Sundance-winning film months before the release. As a nod of appreciation to his fans, pre-sale tickets to these exclusive advance screenings will first be made available to those on Nick Cave’s mailing list and website, nickcave.com/live starting this Thursday, June 5th – 24 hours prior to the general public on Friday. Tickets will be sold through Goldenvoice via BrownPaperTickets.com
“I am among many who consider Nick Cave the unofficial poet laureate of the modern age,” says Drafthouse Films founder Tim League. “I am personally excited we are able to integrate screening this bold and riveting portrait of an artist with a series of musical performances by Nick for a truly unique experience.”
Fusing cinematic drama with reality by weaving a fictitious 24-hour journey through the life of musician and international cultural icon Nick Cave, the film is an intimate portrayal of the artistic process that speaks volumes to music fans, the art community and movie lovers alike. The debut directorial feature film of visual artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the film – which opens theatrically on September 17, 2014 – is set to an original score by Nick Cave and fellow Bad Seeds band mate Warren Ellis.
With startlingly frank insights and an intimate portrayal of the artistic process, the genre-defying film examines what makes us who we are, and celebrates the transformative power of the creative spirit. The film made its World Premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it was awarded both “Best Directing” and “Best Editing” Awards in the World Cinema Documentary category.
Andrew O’Hehir of Salon.com calls it “gorgeous and haunting…an unclassifiable and frequently spectacular documentary.” Rob Nelson of Variety says “simply astounding, razor sharp, dynamic” while Michael Dunaway of Paste Magazine proclaims, “just spending an hour and a half or so inside the mind of Nick Cave would be fascinating enough. But the themes of time and lifetime, and the 20,000-day take on it, make this one a must-see.”
Nick Cave will perform at a trio of exclusive events this summer in conjunction with advance screenings of 20,000 Days on Earth, the groundbreaking new film on the iconic rock legend, and winner of two awards at the Sundance Film Festival.
More information on the special screenings can be found at nickcave.com/live. Information about the screening at the Egyptian Theatre can be found here.

Are you ready to go on a culinary journey to make the best homemade dog food your pooch has ever tasted? With this article, you’ll have all the tasty ingredients and recipes for DIY pup meals that will leave tails wagging faster than lightning! It’s time to treat your furry friends with love – and healthy nutrition – like never before. Your pups will thank you when they taste just how delicious homemade doggy dishes can be; it’ll be so good that their tongues won’t know what hit ‘em!
Homemade dog food is one of the easiest ways to give your pet quality nutrition in every meal. You get control over exactly what goes into each dish, right down to the last ingredient. Plus, DIY canine cuisine helps ensure only fresh, natural ingredients enter Fido’s bowl – no preservatives or additives allowed. That way, your pup gets a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals while also enjoying scrumptious flavor combinations at mealtimes.
In this article, we’ll dive headfirst into all aspects of creating wholesome homemade food for dogs: from choosing proper ingredients to safety guidelines and yummy recipe ideas. So let’s get started by learning more about why switching up your pup’s regular chow might be beneficial for them in the long run!
1. Benefits Of Homemade Dog Food
A healthy and balanced diet for your pooch is a must! Not only does it provide them with all the essential nutrients their body needs to thrive, but also gives you peace of mind in knowing that they are getting the best nutrition possible. Homemade dog food has numerous benefits over commercially bought options.
Imagine fluffy Fido running around energetically as if he was a puppy again. It can be made from ingredients already present in your kitchen, so you have full control over what goes into his bowl, making sure there’s nothing artificial or unhealthy going down his throat. You don’t need to worry about any hidden preservatives ruining his digestive system. Plus, when you make fresh meals at home, you know exactly where these ingredients come from and how safe they are for him – something that just isn’t possible with store-bought kibble.
It’s easy to see why homemade dog food is becoming increasingly popular among pet owners who care deeply about their furry companion’s health and wellbeing. The additional effort required to prepare each meal might seem intimidating at first, but the reward is well worth it: an energetic pup filled with joy and life! Now let’s discuss the essential nutrients needed for your pup’s diets which will help you create even more nutritious meals for them!
2. Essential Nutrients For A Healthy Dog Diet
No one can deny the importance of nutrition when it comes to keeping our fur babies healthy and happy. Providing essential nutrients in their diet is key for a pup’s wellbeing, especially if you’re opting for homemade dog food. Without further ado, let’s look at what those crucial substances are that must be included in your canine companion’s daily meals!
When crafting your dog’s meal plan, there are three main things you need to consider: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These macronutrients form the basis of a balanced diet and should be present in all recipes prepared with love – yes, even when making doggy dinners! Proteins provide energy to maintain strength while also supporting skin health; fats give them ample energy reserves as well as help keep bones strong; carbs guarantee they have enough fuel to stay on top of their game throughout the day.
Not only must each element mentioned above be taken into account but other important minerals too such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium—as well as vitamins like A & D—should not go overlooked either. All these components play an integral role in keeping dogs fit and full of vigor while ensuring they don’t suffer from any nutritional deficiencies. With this knowledge firmly under your belt, you’ll easily be able to craft nutritious home-cooked meals for Fido that will make him feel energized every single day!
3. Types Of Ingredients For Homemade Dog Food
Making homemade dog food is like a recipe in progress – it takes time, patience, and the right ingredients. When you’re looking for types of ingredients to add to your pup’s meal plan, there are plenty that can provide essential nutrients without costing an arm and a leg.
Start by considering proteins such as lean turkey or chicken breast, lean ground beef, cuts of grass fed beef, egg whites, salmon, or tuna packed in water. As far as carbohydrates go, cooked brown rice or oats are great options; sweet potatoes contain complex carbs along with vitamins A & C while adding flavor and texture to your pup’s dinner plate. For fats, avocado oil has Omega-3 fatty acids while olive oil contains monounsaturated fats which help support healthy skin & coat. Plus both oils have anti-inflammatory properties too!
Since vegetables are at the top of the list when it comes to doggy nutrition basics (not to mention fiber!), start small with things like spinach (which provides antioxidants) or green beans (rich in Vitamin K). Fruit should also be included from time to time – blueberries offer up powerful antioxidants plus they’re low in sugar whereas apples can help freshen breath due to their natural tartar control properties. Your pet will appreciate these tasty additions!
So now that we’ve covered some key ingredient categories for homemade dog food recipes, let’s move on to tips for preparing them safely…
4. Tips For Preparing Homemade Dog Food
Did you know that 8 out of 10 owners feed their dogs homemade food at least once a month? Making your own pet food is an excellent way to provide all the nutrients your pup needs. But how do you go about preparing it properly? Here are some useful tips for making sure your homemade dog food is safe and nutritious for your fur baby.
First, make sure to include proteins like lean meats as well as grains such as rice or pasta in each meal. You can also add vegetables like carrots and potatoes, though be careful not to overdo it with starchy veggies. Additionally, adding eggs, fish oil, and yogurt can help round out the nutrition profile. Make sure to cook everything thoroughly before serving so that bacteria isn’t passed on to your pup!
You may also want to consider supplementing with vitamins and minerals if needed; many pet stores carry special formulas designed specifically for canine consumption. If you’re unsure what type of supplements would best suit your pup’s dietary needs, consult a veterinarian who can provide further guidance.
With these tips in mind, there’ll be nothing standing between your pup and healthy home-cooked meals every day! To ensure safety when feeding homemade dog food, take note of the next section…
5. Safety Precautions For Feeding Homemade Dog Food
When it comes to your pup’s health, making sure their food is safe for them should always be a top concern. Feeding homemade dog food can provide many benefits if done correctly and safety precautions need to be taken when preparing the meals.
Imagine your pet eagerly waiting for their mealtime and you will feel accomplished knowing you are providing them with quality nutrition. The following list gives insight into important safety measures that need to be followed while feeding homemade dog food:
- Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly before preparing the ingredients you choose
- Use human grade meats, vegetables, and other ingredients free from preservatives or additives
- Make sure all items have been cooked properly before serving to avoid any potential bacterial contamination risks
Following these steps will help keep your furry friend healthy and happy during meal time! Additionally, there are also ways to incorporate variety into their diets so they don’t become bored with eating the same thing over and over again. To learn more about how adding different recipes can benefit your pup’s diet…
6. Variety Of Recipes For Homemade Dog Food
When it comes to feeding your pup, variety is key. A well-rounded diet of homemade dog food can offer just that! With the right recipes and ingredients, you can provide a healthy balance for your furry friend. Here are some ways to incorporate more variety into their meals:
1) Experiment with different types of proteins. Offer up beef, chicken, lamb, fish or even eggs. This way, your pup won’t get bored with the same old thing every day.
2) Try out various grains and starches like brown rice or potatoes as an alternative to kibble. Get creative and explore other options such as quinoa or sweet potato too!
3) Incorporate fresh produce into their meal plan by chopping up greens like spinach or carrots and adding them in. This will give them extra vitamins and minerals they need while also providing additional flavor.
4) Don’t forget about fiber! Adding oats or beans helps digestion and keeps things running smoothly in their digestive system. Plus, these ingredients add bulk so they feel fuller longer after eating which can help with weight management.
Making sure your pup gets enough variety in his diet doesn’t have to be hard work – with a few simple steps you’ll have a tailored menu for them in no time! Now let’s look at the pros and cons of making this switch…
7. Pros And Cons Of Homemade Dog Food
Preparing homemade dog food for your pup offers several distinct advantages and drawbacks that pet owners need to consider. Crafting canine cuisine with canines in mind can bring both benefits and burdens.
Beginning with the blessings of a homemade diet, many precious pooches may prefer palatable plates made from fresh ingredients. Furthermore, feeding Fido fare fashioned from scratch provides pet parents peace of mind as they know what goes into their pup’s plate. Additionally, crafting custom kibble allows appropriate adjustments for any medical needs or special dietary requirements that store-bought meals may not meet.
However, cooking for canines requires considerable commitment from proprietors; devising delightful dishes demands dedication and time investment. Moreover, if recipe instructions are not followed precisely, potential problems like vitamin deficiencies and nutrient inadequacies could arise. In addition, obtaining all the necessary components plus additional supplements might be expensive since some items may only be available online or at specialty stores. With these pros and cons in mind, now is an opportune moment to investigate cost-effectiveness when considering homemade dog food options.
8. Cost-Effectiveness Of Homemade Dog Food
The cost-effectiveness of homemade dog food can be an issue for many pet owners. As with anything else, the ingredients used to make a home cooked meal for your pup have costs associated with them. So how do you decide if this type of diet is right for your wallet?
On one hand, making food at home offers more control and customization than buying pre-made meals. You know exactly what goes into each dish and are able to adjust it according to your budget. This means that you may save money in the long run by only purchasing certain items when they’re on sale or using cheaper substitutes for some of the pricier ingredients. Plus, making multiple batches in advance and freezing them can help reduce waste and give you peace of mind knowing there’s always something nutritious available for your furry friend!
Still, just like humans need balanced diets so does our four-legged family members. While it’s tempting to try to cut corners here, doing so could lead to nutritional deficiencies that will eventually catch up with us (and our wallets). It’s important to consult with a vet before changing any existing diet routine – ensuring that all essential vitamins and minerals are included is not only beneficial but also necessary. To ensure cost effectiveness, consider supplementing commercial foods as needed while still providing quality nutrition through home cooking recipes.
Ultimately, investing time in researching both store bought options as well as homemade dishes can provide insight into which option best fits both Fido’s needs as well as ours financially. With proper planning and knowledge we’ll be able to find the solution that works best for everyone involved – including our wallets! Taking these considerations into account makes storage and preservation of homemade dog food much easier too.
9. Storage And Preservation Of Homemade Dog Food
Storing and preserving homemade dog food can be a tricky process. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), it’s estimated that Americans spent $95 billion dollars on their pets in 2020 alone, so making sure we take care of our best friends is important! It’s essential to know what ingredients you need for your pet’s meal, as well as understanding how long they will last before spoiling or needing to be thrown out.
The first step in storage is keeping all ingredients fresh and free from contamination or bacteria growth. To do this, keep them in airtight containers with labels describing when each item was made, if possible. This ensures that anything added into the mixture has not gone bad prior to being used for cooking. Additionally, create an inventory system of sorts by writing down what each container holds and updating it regularly. Doing so makes it easier to identify which items are running low and must be replenished soon.
Another key factor is refrigeration. Homemade meals should always go in the fridge after cooling off because some foods spoil quickly at room temperature while others freeze well over time – such as meat-based dishes like beef stew – depending on the recipe ingredients used. If freezing isn’t an option due to space limitations, consider dividing portions accordingly and placing them in individual zip bags; then store those individually inside one larger bag that can easily fit into the freezer compartment of your refrigerator.
Having a good handle on storing and preserving homemade dog food is critical to providing our furry companions with safe nutrition options without having to worry about potential risks associated with spoiled food consumption. In order to make sure all stored batches remain within optimal safety standards, regular inspections should be done along with proper labeling techniques mentioned earlier for maximum efficiency when tracking expiration dates. With these tips under consideration, let us now explore viable alternatives for preparing nutritious meals for our beloved pups!
10. Alternatives To Homemade Dog Food
A homemade dog food diet is like a blank canvas – it has the potential to be anything you want. With all its ingredients and recipes, there’s an infinite possibility of creative combinations that can help your pup thrive. But while this type of meal plan offers many advantages, sometimes alternatives may be necessary.
The first option would be store-bought food. Many brands have nutritional profiles tailored for specific breeds or ages, which make them suitable options if you don’t have the time or resources to cook fresh meals every day. However, some commercial products contain preservatives and artificial additives, so read labels carefully before making any purchases.
Another alternative could be raw diets – these consist mainly of uncooked meats supplemented with vegetables and fruits. This type of meal plan gives pups access to more natural sources of protein than processed foods do. Just remember that they still need nutrients such as calcium and vitamins found in cooked grains or legumes, so add those into their daily intake as well! Finally, treats should also be taken into consideration since they are important for dogs’ overall health too!
Homemade dog food provides many benefits but alternatives exist when needed. Store-bought food can provide convenience while raw diets offer more natural forms of nutrition – however both require additional supplements depending on your pet’s needs. Treats are also part of a healthy canine diet; just make sure not to go overboard with them! All these considerations will ensure your furry friend receives optimal nourishment throughout his life journey together with you.
Start Adding Homemade Dog Food To Your Pup’s Diet Today!
It’s clear that homemade dog food can be a great way to provide your pup with healthy, nutritious meals. It is important for pet owners to research and understand the proper amount to feed their dogs, as well as how often they should feed them.

When making homemade dog food, it’s essential to know which foods may cause harm or allergic reactions in pets. Additionally, storing homemade food properly is an important step in keeping your dog safe and healthy. It’s like protecting a precious diamond—you want to make sure you keep it secure!
Overall, feeding your furry friend homemade recipes has many benefits. From providing wholesome nutrition to saving money on commercial products, crafting custom dishes for Fido can be an enjoyable experience. Just remember: always consult with a vet before introducing any new diet changes into your pup’s routine!
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Homemade Dog Food Should I Feed My Dog?
According to the American Kennel Club, around 85 percent of pet owners feed their dogs homemade meals or snacks at least once per week. It’s important when planning these meals that you know how much to feed your pup; too little won’t provide enough nutrients while too much can cause them to gain weight.
If you’re preparing homemade dog food, there are some guidelines to follow in order to ensure that your furry friend gets all the vitamins and minerals they need without overfeeding them. Generally speaking, an adult dog should receive between two-thirds and three-quarters of a cup of dry food or one cup of canned food each day. If this amount doesn’t seem like enough, consider adding fresh fruits and vegetables as well as cooked lean meats like chicken or fish for added protein. Keep portion sizes small so that you don’t exceed the recommended daily allowance.
It’s always best to consult with your veterinarian before making any changes in what you feed your dog. Your vet will be able to determine if additional supplements are needed depending on age, breed, activity level, etc., which can help keep your pup healthy and happy! Additionally, look out for signs of allergies such as itching or excessive scratching – certain foods may not agree with them – and adjust accordingly. With plenty of love and care from you combined with proper nutrition from homemade meals tailored specifically for their needs, nothing but good health awaits your four-legged family member!
How Often Should I Feed My Dog Homemade Dog Food?
When it comes to feeding your furry friend homemade dog food, the age-old question is: how often should you be doing it? It’s a challenge trying to figure out the perfect balance between nutrition and convenience. You don’t want to feed Fido too much, or not enough – after all, he’s part of the family!
Satire may come in handy here when we consider that humans have mastered cooking for thousands of years yet still haven’t figured out how best to feed man’s best friend. I mean, they’ve already got us trained to give them treats every time they do something cute so why can’t we get this right?
Fortunately there are guidelines which can help pet owners make sure their pup gets optimal nourishment from his home cooked meals. Generally speaking, adult dogs require two servings per day while puppies need three meals a day until they reach adulthood. As always though, check with a veterinarian if you’re unsure about any aspect of your pooch’s diet and health needs as individual circumstances will vary.
For those looking for an easy way to keep track of mealtimes then setting up regular feeding times works well and helps reinforce good behaviour habits such as sitting patiently before being given food. With consistency like this both owner’s lives and canine companionship become simpler; no more worrying about ‘when was last mealtime?’ – just set the timer and go about living life together happily ever after!
Is Homemade Dog Food Suitable For Puppies?
Feeding puppies can be an exciting but daunting task. Homemade dog food can often seem like a great option, and while it may indeed have benefits for your pup, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. It’s essential to understand whether homemade dog food is suitable for puppies or not before you decide on the best meal plan for them.
When considering if homemade meals are right for your puppy, one of the most significant factors is nutrition. Puppies need higher levels of certain nutrients than older dogs do. They also require more calories per pound than adult dogs due to their rapid growth rate and activity level – especially active breeds! To make sure that they’re getting adequate amounts of all these vital components, you’ll want to check with your vet about what ingredients should go into each meal.
It’s also wise to discuss portion sizes and frequency when feeding homemade meals to your pup. Depending on the age of your puppy and their size, how often they eat will vary significantly from an adult dog’s schedule. Make sure you know exactly how much food your pup needs and how frequently they should be eating so that you don’t over- or under-feed them.
So if you’re thinking of introducing homemade meals for your puppy, it’s always best practice to consult a professional first. Your veterinarian can provide tailored advice specific to your pet’s unique dietary requirements – ensuring that every bite gives them the nourishment needed during this critical time in their life!
How Long Can Homemade Dog Food Be Stored?
Making homemade dog food is a great way to ensure that your pup is getting the best nutrition available. But, how long can it be stored? Let’s take a look at what you need to know about storage of homemade dog food:
1) When making and storing homemade dog food for your pup, pay attention to expiration dates on any ingredients used. Doing so will help keep your pet safe from ingesting any spoiled or expired ingredients.
2) It’s important to store prepared meals in airtight containers and place them in the refrigerator or freezer right away. This helps prevent bacterial growth while also preserving freshness. If using plastic containers make sure they are BPA-free.
3) Most homemade meals can last up to 3 days refrigerated and up to 4 months frozen. Generally speaking, if you follow proper safety guidelines when preparing and storing home cooked meals, they should maintain their original nutrient content without spoiling until these timeframes have passed.
4) Ensure that all foods being served to your pup are not too hot – this could cause burns! Also watch out for signs of spoilage such as discoloration or bad odors before serving the meal.
Considering the fact that most pet owners don’t have unlimited free time, having properly stored batches of pre-made meals can come in handy; just remember always practice caution when dealing with perishable items like meaty bones and other proteins – keeping your furry friend healthy and happy requires diligence! So next time you’re cooking up some delicious goodies for your pup, think ahead and plan accordingly – by doing so you’ll save yourself both time and worry down the line.
Are There Any Foods I Should Avoid When Preparing Homemade Dog Food?
When it comes to preparing homemade dog food, the stakes are incredibly high. After all, our beloved pets depend on us for their nutrition and wellbeing – any mistake could be disastrous! That’s why knowing what foods to avoid when cooking up a meal for your pup is so important.
The truth is that certain types of human food can actually do more harm than good if given to dogs in large quantities or too frequently. Foods like onions, grapes, raisins, garlic, chives, macadamia nuts and avocados should never be fed to a canine companion as they can cause serious health problems due to their toxicity levels. Additionally, chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which can lead to seizures and other dangerous consequences when ingested by dogs.
It’s also best to stay away from processed meats such as sausages and hotdogs since these items contain preservatives and additives that may not agree with your faithful friend’s digestive system. Ultimately, feeding your pet only fresh ingredients that have been cooked properly will ensure their safety while providing them with essential nutrients for optimal health. So take care when selecting ingredients for meals – you’re ultimately responsible for keeping your furry family member healthy and happy!

As mid-term elections draw near, one thing Americans can agree on is that we are a deeply divided country. Frustration, bewilderment, and distrust abounds and manifests in everything from cynical resignation to turning on one another. Madeline Albright once described the experiment of democracy as paradoxical: equally characterized by fragility and resilience. These challenging times have exposed the delicate nature of our body politic, and will test our nation’s spirit of resilience as never before. ¶ As a nation, political vitriol, vastly compounded by the echo-chambers and bad behavior of social media, threaten the very institutions on which we’re founded. The news cycle is dizzying — making the upcoming election feel like we are nearing a panicky crescendo. In some ways it seems like the most consequential midterm election in American history—and those paying attention, regardless of political affiliation, are full of anxiety about its outcome and implications. But those who strive to keep the faith count on the hope that it is never too late for real, meaningful change that can lead us into a positive future.

Jacksonville may be near the bottom of the NFL standings, but when you consider the lineup that Washington is rolling out there, a victory is a tall task.
Fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson, who was signed earlier this month, will be starting for the Redskins. The offense will also be without tight end Jordan Reed and possibly Chris Thompson and Josh Doctson, who are both listed as questionable.
Should both players be ruled out, the Redskins will have a tough time getting a win, but stranger things have happened. Here’s everything you need to know going into Sunday’s game.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are nothing new as they have been available in the market since the early 1990s, but – especially in recent years – they have become a wildly popular among investors. In the first seven months of 2017, US investors poured US$272 billion into ETFs – nearly breaking last year’s record inflows of US$287 billion, and pushing total ETF assets under management above the US$3 trillion mark for the first time ever.
For those out there who are not already invested in ETFs, we take a look at what makes these funds unique and give you some tips on how to choose the right ETF for your investment portfolio.
ETFs are marketable securities that can be traded daily on a stock exchange and track a particular financial asset such as a commodity (like gold or oil), an index (such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average), a sector, bond, or a foreign stock market.
Unlike mutual funds, ETFs are listed and traded on exchanges just like stocks – and thus have higher daily liquidity. Their value fluctuates throughout the trading day and their market price – as with stocks – reflects the highest price at which buyers are willing to buy and the lowest price at which sellers are willing to sell. Investors can employ share-trading techniques such as limit orders, margin purchases, and stop orders with ETFs.
ETFs enable investors to buy shares in a range of commodities and securities in different geographical regions around the world. ETFs actually own the assets of the fund, and their ownership is divided into a number of shares that are held by shareholders. And the shareholders also get a piece of any profits, such as dividends or interest, generated by the ETF.
Because there tends to be less trading of individual assets within ETFs as compared to mutual funds, their operational costs, fees, and taxation liabilities are lower. Obviously, individual shareholders benefit from this.
Some observers, however, have expressed concern about ETFs, as they promote a “passive investment” strategy, enabling investors to track and match the performance of a particular index without having to make daily decisions about which individual securities to buy and sell. The danger with passive investment tools such as ETFs is that markets – which are often driven by emotions such as greed and fear – can fluctuate, and ETF investors are in some cases unable to protect themselves against these wild swings or take advantage of the opportunities that they may afford.
Mutual funds, in contrast, typically employ analysts who make “active investment” decisions on individual securities based upon fundamental or technical analysis. These analysts can quickly respond to market developments, and rapidly make buy-and-sell transactions to mitigate risk and maximise returns.
Here are some key figures and facts about ETFs:
According to the latest data, the ETF industry in the US is worth US$3 trillion ($US7 trillion internationally) with over 6,300 ETFs offered by 280 providers on 64 exchanges across 51 countries.
ETFs mostly track broad market indexes such as S&P 500, emerging markets, small cap, and gold, for example.
Fund management fees are generally low for ETFs, as they do not normally employ high-cost managers – but brokerage fees do apply with every buy-and-sell transaction. The Investment Fund Institute has reported the average annual expense of an ETF is 0.09% – compared to 0.82% for an actively-traded managed fund.
The underlying assets of each ETF are reflected in its share price, which is determined by supply and demand and fluctuates over the course of each trading day.
If you are looking to invest in an ETF, seek advice from your financial advisor or investment broker before pulling the trigger. Ask to be shown the ETF’s tracking error, which is a measure of how well the ETF matches its benchmark index.
Investment in ETFs has skyrocketed in recent years and there is a wide array of ETFs in the market for investors to select from.
Given this abundance of choice, how do investors choose an ETF that fits their investment strategy, risk profile, and return expectations? Generally speaking, investors should choose an ETF that is diversified, inexpensive to hold, transparent in its investment strategy, and aligned with their investment principles, philosophy, and goals.
For example, if an investor thinks that gloom and doom is coming and that the price of a safe haven asset like gold will skyrocket, then an ETF that invests in the precious metal is the way to go. Those who have faith in emerging markets or the power of the Dow Jones should consider an ETF that specifically invests in them.
To give you a sense of the wide variety of ETFs on the market for investors to choose from, here are a few examples:
The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), launched in 1998, has a history of reliably replicating the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average – which is widely seen as a leading indicator of the overall condition of the US stock market and economy.
The SDPR STI ETF hold shares in the top 30 companies listed on the Singapore Exchange. These blue chip shares provide a benchmark and barometer of the financial health of the city-state’s stock market and economy.
The MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is an international equity index that tracks the performance of stocks from 24 emerging market countries such as China, India, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan.
The MSCI Japan ETF covers equities across Japan’s stock market. Since its launch in 1996, this bell-weather ETF – which has net assets of over US$16 billion – has been the investment vehicle of choice for those seeking exposure to Japanese equities. The MSCI Australia ETF – which has US$1.75 billion in assets – offers a smaller play especially for those seeking exposure in leading Australian companies but not smaller caps, which are under-represented here.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF – which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index, a gauge of the value of the 500 largest corporations in terms of market capitalisation on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Composite Index – is the most popular ETF among US investors.
The SPDR S&P Dividend ETF is made up of the highest-yielding stocks in the S&P 1,500 index that have increased their dividends for at least 20 years.

Seriously, how did Justin Tucker not make this year's Pro Bowl?
The Ravens kicker booted three more field goals Saturday night in the Ravens' 23-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and made some impressive history in the process.
Tucker became the fastest pure kicker in NFL history to reach 800 career points, doing so in his 95th regular-season game.
Only Gino Cappelletti, who was a wide receiver/kicker for the Boston Patriots from 1960-1970, got to 800 faster. He did so in 93 games, but also scored 31 receiving touchdowns in his first six years.
Tucker has connected on 200 of his 222 career field-goal attempts during his six seasons. He's hit all 202 of his extra-point attempts.
Check out the scenes from M&T Bank Stadium as the Ravens host the Colts in week 16 of the NFL season!
"Points are a team stat as far as I'm concerned," Tucker said before giving credit to long snapper Morgan Cox, punter Sam Koch and coaches Jerry Rosburg and Randy Brown. "It's cool to see our hard work come to fruition in such a concrete way – points on the board."
In addition to that record, Tucker also became just the fourth kicker in NFL history to have at least five seasons with at least 30 made field goals, tied with David Akers, John Carney and Stephen Gostkowski. Tucker hit 29 in 2014.
"I guess that's a pretty interesting stat," Tucker said. "Those are great names. Just to be in that club, it's a pretty cool deal."
Tucker has gone to two Pro Bowls, but is a first-alternate this year behind Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell. After a pair of long misses earlier in the season and a block, Tucker has hit 17 straight, which is the second-longest streak in the league behind San Francisco's Robbie Gould (20).
On Saturday night, he exchanged kicks with kicking legend Adam Vinatieri of the Indianapolis Colts and previously New England Patriots. The two got a picture together before the game.
"I can say as a football fan and as a fan of kickers from before playing professional football was even somewhat of a reality for me, seeing Adam Vinatieri play on Sundays and do his thing and then to be playing in the same league and sharing the field with him, it's an honor," Tucker said.
Tucker went on to hit from 30, 39 and 36 yards. Vinatieri connected from 48, 38 and 30, but had a 38-yard attempt blocked and came up just short on a 60-yarder at the end of the first half.
Vinatieri is in his 22nd season while Tucker is in his sixth, so Tucker has a long way to go to match the greats, but he's well on his way. At the same time, Tucker said he doesn't ever step back and think about the success he's had early in his career.
"I'm going to sound like a broken record and bore you to death, but I'm going to take it one kick at a time," he said. "If we continue to do that, we'll always give ourselves a chance to be successful and our team a chance to win games like we did today."

Pro Tour Ixalan begins this Friday, November 3rd, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and players from Team Cardhoarder, and Team Cardhoarder Brazil are gearing up to play in this the last Pro Tour of 2017. This event will feature a mix of Standard Constructed, and Limited Draft play. Here’s a quick rundown of the current Standard metagame, and players to watch going into the event.
On September 28th, the Standard format once again rotated, meaning that cards from Battle for Zendikar, Oath of the Gatewatch, Shadows Over Innistrad, and Eldritch Moon are no longer legal. This is an exciting time for most players, but especially players like me who weren’t interested in Standard at the time, and are hoping rotation will shake things up a bit. So far, the metagame has been shaped by Nationals, SCG Dallas, and the World Championship, with surprisingly few cards from Ixalan making an impact. Despite that, the Standard metagame going into this Pro Tour is more established than we have seen in years.
Currently, Energy decks of various stripes are sitting at the top of the heap of decks you can expect to see on camera. Temur Energy started off as the default after Aetherworks Marvel was banned, but the printing of The Scarab God in Hour of Devastation soon made a four color version the deck to beat. Players who prefer this archetype are typically divided into two camps. Those who lean more heavily on The Scarab God, and those who don’t, and seek to punish those who do. It will be interesting to see which version the pros decide is best, and which one, if any will be seen at the top tables.
Ramunap Red lost little from rotation, and in fact, Mono-Red decks are often seen as a safe choice going into an uncertain format. When established decks rotate out, their pilots can oftentimes find themselves scrambling to find something just as good, or that they are as proficient with. These new, or untested decks make easy prey for a Mono-Red deck. Mono-Red also punishes slower Control decks, and may explain why we haven’t seen as much UB Control as we did at the World Championships.
While we can expect to see established decks like Temur Energy, and Ramunap Red at Pro Tour Ixalan, there is also a chance that we could see one of the many fringe decks out there rise to the top. Various Token-based strategies, Gift of the God Pharaoh decks, and others have popped up here and there, and even Mardu Vehicles is threatening to once again rear its ugly head. It really is anyone’s game at this point, and I can’t wait to see what exciting, and powerful decks the pros take with them to Albuquerque.
Speaking of the pros, we here at Cardhoarder are proud to have not one, but two teams of pro players representing us at Pro Tour Ixalan: Team Cardhoarder, and Team Cardhoarder Brazil. Players from both teams spent the past weekend getting some last-minute practice at various Grand Prix, with Cardhoarder Brazil’s Bernardo Santos making an impressive run at Grand Prix Liverpool, and finishing in fourth place. The 24 year old is no stranger to competitive Magic, having played in a Magic Online Championship Series event, four Pro Tours, and the 2016 World Magic Cup, but this is his first big finish. I look forward to seeing if Bernardo’s recent hot streak will continue at Pro Tour Ixalan.
Noah Walker is also no stranger to competitive Magic, what with several strong finishes on both the SCG Tour, and the Grand Prix circuit, including a first place finish at Grand Prix Columbus in 2016. I tend to associate Noah as more of a Legacy expert, as he has had tremendous success in that particular format, specifically with Grixis Delver. However, after spending some time with Noah this past weekend at Grand Prix Phoenix, I got to see that Noah’s skill for the game translates across multiple formats. He’s been putting in a lot of practice for this particular Pro Tour, and I’m eager to see if it pays off.
Shaheen Soorani’s success across multiple formats can usually be attributed to his love for Control decks, and it’s rare that you see Shaheen sleeve up something that doesn’t include Blue cards. He has racked up multiple Top 10 and Top 32 finishes with decks like Esper Stoneblade in Legacy, Grixis Control in Standard, and U/R Delver in Modern. As mentioned earlier, Control has been in a bit of a low point since the World Championship where UB Control reigned supreme. Will Shaheen try to put Control back on the map with something like Approach of the Second Sun? Or will he join the ranks of those hoping to keep Control down by playing something like Longtusk Cub?
As always, be sure to Follow @TeamCardhoarder for all the latest updates on Pro Tour Ixalan, including pictures, standings, and much more!

The Dewey County Courthouse is one of the newest in Oklahoma. The offices are spacious, and the courtroom has fresh carpet and shiny wood trim. County Commissioner M.W. “Junior” Salisbury is excited to play tour leader.
“I’m pretty proud of our little courthouse here,” he says. “I really, really am.”
Officials figured they would need 25 years to pay it off, but it took less than five. One major reason: wind farms.

How much money has IRS sent in stimulus checks since 2020?
Since the onset of the pandemic and the economic crisis three rounds of stimulus checks have been approved, but not all the money slated has gone out.
Every eligible adult over the past year could have received $3,200 in stimulus money and every eligible child $2,500 in the three rounds of stimulus checks. Not everyone who is eligible though has received the stimulus money that was budgeted for them.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the three Economic Impact Payments (EIP), or better known as stimulus checks, will cost the US government around $867 billion in total. So far, the IRS has sent out the vast majority of those funds but there is still over nine percent that has yet to be disbursed.
The first stimulus check
The first stimulus checks were approved with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which Congress passed in March 2020. Under the CARES Act each eligible adult received up to $1,200 and children up to $500 each. In total it was calculated that those stimulus checks would cost $292 billion. As of 16 February, the IRS said that it had sent out all the legally permitted first round EIPs. Since April 2020 more than 160 million payments went to taxpayers across the US totaling over $270 billion.
The second stimulus check
Not long after the first payments were made calls were made for additional stimulus payments, including recurring stimulus payments until the end of the pandemic. After much deadlock in Washington the second round of direct payments was finally authorized in December with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. This saw every eligible adult and child receiving a $600 check as part of the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020.
When the IRS finished sending the second round of EIPs, the agency had sent over 147 million worth a total of $142 billion. However, the total cost is calculated to be $164 billion if all the funds are sent to those eligible. Now, the remainder of the money from the first and second round of stimulus check can only be claimed through the Recovery Rebate Credit when taxpayers file a 2020 tax return.
The third stimulus check
The latest and largest round of payments were approved slightly less than a year after the first round, included in the American Rescue Plan. In March Democrats pushed through Congress the third round of stimulus payments of $1,400 to every adult, child and this time dependent regardless of age. The total cost of the payments is estimated to be around $411 billion.
The latest report from the IRS said that as of 12 May the agency had sent out around 165 million payment since 12 March 2021 to the tune of $388 billion. The IRS will continue to send payments through the end of 2021 as it processes 2020 tax returns, either as “plus-up” payments or to taxpayers who the agency didn’t previously have information to issue an EPI but who recently filed a tax return.
Who hasn’t received their stimulus check yet?
There are a number of reasons that not all the money slated has been sent yet. It is estimated that around 4.8 million US citizens live abroad and if they haven’t filed a tax return since 2017 the IRS most likely didn’t send them a check. In the first round of payments according to a US Treasury inspectors report just under 28,000 payments were sent to foreign addresses and some of those by mistake to non-American pensioners who had worked in the US at some time in the past.
Another group that has been having difficulty receiving their stimulus checks even though they qualify are the homeless. Part of the problem is access to computers during the pandemic to use the online “Non-Filer” tool that the IRS set up to help those that don’t normally file a tax return send their information to the agency so that it could issue a payment. Another problem that arose was that the addresses where those very payments were to be sent were flagged due to the high number of payments going to a single address. Homeless could have their checks sent to a homeless shelter or a church among other recommendations from the IRS.
Then there are those who just didn’t feel right accepting the money. It was reported that about 1.25 million payments from the first round of stimulus checks have never been cashed or were returned or paid back to the US Treasury. Those accounted for around $2.1 billion.
