How long should you list your Olathe, KS. home for sale with a Olathe, KS. real estate agent and who should I choose to list my Olathe, KS. property for sale with this summer?
» Online Kansas City
How long should you list your Olathe, KS. home for sale with a Olathe, KS. real estate agent and who should I choose to list my Olathe, KS. property for sale with this summer?
Did you know that 90% of the real estate activity during the listing period is during the first 30 days?
Yep. So it doesnât make sense to list for more than 30 days, doesnât it?
First, a professional Olathe, KS. real estate agent will have an aggressive 30 Day Listing program for Olathe, KS. homeowners.
Second, what is more important than how long you list your Olathe, KS. home for sale is the real estate agent you choose to list with to market and sell your Olathe, KS. house.
Choose a veteran full time professional Olathe, KS. real estate agent who understands that 92% of the Olathe, KS. home buyers use the internet to search and view Olathe, KS. homes online sometime during the home buying process.
An aggressive real estate marketing program by an Olathe, KS. REALTOR should consist of a large networking base on social media, a vibrant web marketing program, and an aggressive new media program.
Although choosing a company brand may seem like a safe bet, the real estate company you choose will do very little to market your Olathe, KS. property. It is the individual real estate agent you choose who will market and sell your home. In a nut shell, not all agents from Coldwell Banker, Reece and Nichols, Keller Williams, Realty Executives, RE/MAX and Prudential are they same. Olathe, KS. real estate agents from each real estate brand have individual marketing and sales plans.
Many Olathe, KS. home buyers find searching Olathe, KS. real estate on Google and interviewing the top 3 real estate agents they find helpful in choosing an Olathe, KS. REALTOR.
Research and choose an Olathe, KS. real estate agent wisely. If you choose an Olathe, KS. REALTOR who canât be found on Google or canât get your Olathe, KS. listing found on the internet, how will Olathe, KS. home buyers find your home?

Conservation areas perfect for celebrating National Trails Day
» Missouri Outdoors
Missourians can discover nature by exploring 700-plus miles of foot, bicycle and equestrian trails on conservation areas. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. â On the first Saturday of June each year, the American Hiking Society encourages people to discover the healthy fun of spending time hiking, biking and horseback riding. National Trails Day falls on June 2 this year, and the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) bends over backwards to make it easy to celebrate the occasion. Conservation areas (CAs) have trails that range from short, wheelchair-accessible loops to more than 30 miles of interconnected loops and spurs. In all, CAs have more than 700 miles of foot, bicycle and equestrian trails on 136 CAs and 10 nature and education centers statewide. This includes 45 areas for horseback riding and 52 areas that allow cycling. At their most basic, conservation-area trails consist of parking lots and trail markers on trees. Other CAs have facilities such as nature centers, self-guided interpretive trails, shooting ranges, scenic overlooks, fishing lakes, stream-fishing and boating accesses, campsites and privies. Some trails traverse unique landscapes that are part of the Missouri Natural Area system. You can find a trail near you by contacting the nearest MDC office or use MDCâs conservation-area database (mdc.mo.gov/node/3392) to search for trails by type or by county and access area maps and area regulations. MDC also sells Conservation Trails: A guide to Missouriâs Department of Conservation Trails. This 101-page book provides detailed information about 41 of the agencyâs best trails, including maps and facility information, points of historical and geological interest and notes about plants and wildlife you may encounter. It is available at www.mdcnatureshop.com or at conservation nature centers for $5 plus tax and, if ordered online, shipping. Get a 15-percent discount with a Conservation Heritage Card. Hiking is permitted on all designated trails. Horseback riding and cycling are limited to trails specially designated for these activities. However, public roads open to vehicular traffic are open to horseback riding and bicycling on CAs unless otherwise posted. When hiking or riding a trail, follow these tips to help ensure a safe experience. · Get a map and familiarize yourself with the CA you want to visit. · Tell someone about your plans, including when you expect to return. · Check weather conditions and avoid inclement weather. · Dress appropriately. · Learn to recognize possible plant and animal hazards such as poison ivy and ticks. · Follow all area regulations. · Leave only footprints and take only photographs.

Dog in Olathe is attacking my kids - Help!
» Online Kansas CityQuestion: I read your post last week about barking dogs. I have a bigger problem. My new neighbors small dog climbs the fence and attacks my kids in my backyard. Almost daily my wife or I have to corral the dog and put it back in the neighbors yard. We have repeatedly spoken to the neighbor but nothing gets done. What can I do? I live in Olathe, Also.
Kerry L. from Olathe, KS.
Answer: Sorry to hear about your problem, Kerry. Nobody wants to see their kids attacked.
First, I would talk to your neighbor once more and follow up with a letter. If the neighbor does not take care of the situation, contact the Olathe Animal Control when the dog leaves your neighbors yard. The Olathe Animal Control will talk to your neighbor and may issue warnings or fines if needed. Olathe Animal Control will also be happy to discuss with you your possible options.

Religious Activities at Lightning Across the Plains 2012
» Kansas City Heathen
Lightning Across the Plains is a heathen gathering held near Kansas City on Sept. 20-23, 2012. At LATP heathen kindreds, families, and individuals from across the Heartland come together to honor our Gods, our Ancestors, and the Vaettir as part of a larger regional community. Toward his end, there are a wide variety of religious activities that take place at LATP, and they are described below. To learn more about LATP or to register for the event, visit http://www.latpgathering.com.
HOF - To the west of our main camping area, there will be a Hof established at Lightning Across the Plains 2012. It will include images and statues of Odin, Thor, and Frey...as well as areas within the Hof for honoring other Gods and Goddesses, our Ancestors, and the Vaettir. If you have statues or objects you would like included in the Hof throughout the weekend, please bring them along. When you check-in at the registation table, please provide us with those objects. We'll record your name so that we can make sure you get your items back at the end of the weekend. Sacrifices to the Gods, our Ancestors, and the Vaettir can be offered at the Hof, and we will ensure these items are properly sacrificed.
OPENING & CLOSING RITUAL - At the start of Lightning Across the Plains there will be an Opening Ritual, declaring grith and frith over the gathering. Tyr will be honored, and the perimeter of the gathering area will be walked in procession, with gifts given to the Vaettir of the land to ensure their goodwill and protection from baneful wights. The help of the children at the gathering will be enlisted, and they will have the honor of distributing gifts to the land wights.
VISITING THE VE - Jotun's Bane Kindred has established an outdoor Ve at Gaea Retreat. It is a cleared circle in the woods, at the roots of a large powerful oak tree named Forn Halr ("old man" in Old Norse). This is our holy tree, and the Ve has a large stone harrow, a firepit, and benches around its perimeter. It is a beautiful and peaceful place, and it is where our kindred takes our kindred oaths. On Saturday morning we'll lead a walk over to the Ve for those that would like to visit it. And we will honor Forn Halr...and leave offerings for the land wights.
ODIN BLOT - Friday evening after dinner, we'll gather for an Odin Blot led by Mjolnir Kindred and Fimbul Winter Kindred both from Colorado. This celebratory event leads directly into Friday night's Folk Symbel.
FOLK SYMBEL - Friday night after dark, we'll gather around a fire and have a Folk Symbel. A horn will be passed, and we will toast the Gods and Goddesses, our Ancestors & Heroes, and then boast of our accomplishments. As a gathered Folk, we'll put our good words and deeds into the Well. If you know a good poem or a song worth singing, please share it with everyone during this Symbel. While this Symbel is more informal in its structure, every year it is one those events that has a lot of impact on everyone participating.
SATURDAY NIGHT FAINING - After dinner on Saturday night, we'll gather as a Folk and celebrate with a large Faining our relationship with our Elder Kin.
SATURDAY NIGHT HIGH SYMBEL - After the Faining, we will enter the Hall as Tribes, Families, and individual heathens and conduct a High Symbel. At 2011's Lightning Across the Plains, 109 adults sat in Symbel and spoke good words over the horn. This is a formal event, and if you have garb to wear and are so inclined please wear it. But garb is not required. This is a night for bold and Tru words, gift-giving, and the forming of bonds among the Folk.
THOR FAINING - On Sunday morning, prior to the Heathen Auction, there will be a Thor Faining led by Hridgar Folk Kindred from Texas. Asa-Thor is honored and asked to grant his protection to everyone in attendance on their journeys home from Lightning Across the Plains.
In addition to these activities, there are 15 workshops throughout the weekend about various topics within Heathenry. We'll be announcing these workshops in detail in the next week or so. To learn more about LATP or to register for the event, visit http://www.latpgathering.com.

partial funding for this project under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act.
RPD to participate in Click It or Ticket May 21 â June 3 The Rolla Police Department will be joining with statewide law enforcement May 21 â June 3 for an aggressive âClick It or Ticketâ mobilization to crack down on Missouriâs seat belt violations. Seven out of 10 people killed in Missouri traffic crashes are unbuckled. And even with the advancements in automobile safety and education on the important of seat belt use, Missouriâs seat belt use has remained relatively unchanged in the last six years and consistently below the national average. Missouri has 79 percent seat belt use, which is well below the national average of 85 percent. Teens and pick-up truck drivers are among those least likely to buckle up at 67 and 66 percent. âEvery day someone dies in a crash in Missouri because they werenât buckled up,â said Sgt. Tim Mayfield. âWe will be pulling out all the stops to ensure motorists are buckling up.â Seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.

Police Chief Chat
» City of Rolla, MissouriDrug watch: This entry is from Cpl. Josh Campbell of the Street Crimes Unit. Josh writes: The Street Crimes Unit decided to spend a little free time at a local business that chooses to sell synthetic narcotics. During this time, officers witnessed numerous people from all age ranges purchasing bath salts and synthetic marijuana. While there is no crime we can arrest them for when they sell or buy the synthetics, we can ask to speak with them. One of the subjects I had the chance to talk to paid almost $40.00 for a small vial of powder that he said makes him "High". The problem with this young man was he had decided to waste his money on dope versus paying his child support. A Felony Warrant for failing to pay his child support had been issued earlier in the year so the man got to take a ride to jail. As always, if you have any information to help us fight this plague, please contact our office.
Members of the Street Crimes Unit observed a vehicle parked in a fire lane today. While this does not sound like a typical drug investigation, what happened next is what stands out. It was determined that the driver was in the pharmacy and while waiting for him to return to the vehicle, so a warning or citation could be issued, the officers noticed several things that caused them to take a stand off approach. The driver returned to the car a short time later then drove to another pharmacy in town. After purchasing an item at this pharmacy, the driver met with another person on the back lot of a local business. The officers watched as the two people began to open several small packages and started consuming the contents. After this, the vehicle pulled from the lot and traveled to a residence. Further investigation at the residence revealed the occupants of the vehicle were addicted to heroin and were using Suboxone in place of the heroin. These two were defiantly not following the doctor's dosage limits as prescribed. If you are unaware, Suboxone is being used to treat heroin addiction. The Street Crimes Unit along with the new HUD Housing Officer completed several narcotics investigations this week. During the investigations, heroin and synthetic narcotics were seized. During these investigations, the officers are not only worrying about violent encounters, but they also have to worry about the numerous disease threats when locating the syringes that go along with these drugs.
This past week the Rolla Police Department handled 816 calls for service. Of these calls there were: 24 arrests, 19 alarms, 25 accidents, 38 traffic complaints, 16 check the well being, 166 traffic stops, 27 disturbance (including domestics), 19 suspicious nature, 24 assists of other agencies, 9 field interviews, 13 escorts, 3 leave without pays, 62 security checks, 47 animal control complaints, 1 assault, 16 stealings, 4 fight, 27 follow up investigations. This call total is up 37 calls from last week and yes, another busy week!
A few nights ago, officers were dispatched to a report of an intoxicated person walking near a roadway. We receive over 200 such calls a year and you never know what it will be. Upon arrival, the officer was contacted by a citizen who pointed to the wooded area where the person was standing. The officer approached the suspect and asked the suspect to come out of the woods and talk to him., The suspect shouted a âfour letter wordâ and refused to leave the wood line. After several requests with the same response, the officer requested back up. The suspect then pulled a knife and held it against his own throat threatening to kill himself. The officer drew his weapon and told him to drop the knife several times. The suspect told the officer he was going to kill him and then kill another officer.
The officer told the suspect to put the knife down several more times and the suspect would respond with four letter words repeated his threat to kill the officer. The suspect changed the grip on the weapon and took a stance as if he was going to charge the officer. The officer told the suspect that if he moved toward him he would have to shoot him. The suspect said do it. (If you have not been in a situation like this itâs very stressful, you have to protect your life and make the right choices in seconds, but it depends on what the suspect does, he is in charge of the results of his actions.) Additional officers arrived on the scene, but the suspect still refused to drop the knife, even after being asked to several more times. One officer used a taser on the suspect but missed, another officer used his taser and the suspect was hit, falling to the ground. The officerâs then hand-cuffed the suspect and transported him to a medical facility. The officers did a great job, and the taser are one of the greatest tools we have in law enforcement, as many times they prevent the use of deadly force. In addition the taser offers another option other than hands-on which leads to the possibility of officers receiving injuries.
This next entry is from the desk of Communications Chief Paula Volkmer. Paula writes: Last week the Rolla Police Department hosted and instructed the 40 hour APCO Basic Telecommunicator Certification. This class was developed and presented by our very own APCO instructor Stacey Smith (who coincidentally is approaching her 16 year anniversary with our agency!). This class covers call taking and radio techniques, emerging technologies, liability and responsibilities of 911 dispatchers.
Stacey received the excellent scores for her week long presentation for usefulness of the material, organization, knowledge of subject matter and capturing the attendeesâ attention. I would like to share some of the students comments; âVery informational, good use of videos, instructor was very prepared and had students involved", "class was relevant for me. I learned a lot and it helped me on call taking skills" and "enjoyed everything, good for new employees". Kudos to Stacey for another successful certification class!
In closing I would like to congratulate those employees celebrating their Rolla Police Department anniversary date this month who is Lt. Doug James with 21 years, Communications Supervisor Stacey Smith with 16 years, Senior Patrol Officer Ben Tinsley with 6 years and Senior Patrol Officer Jason Copeland with 6 years. Thanks for all you do.
Have a great week!
Chief Mark Kearse

» Radioman's Kansas CityA Shameful Effort by Republicans to Divide Our Country
A front-page New York Times story today exposed a shocking $10 MILLION racist campaign to smear the president that was prepared by GOP operatives and was merely awaiting final sign-off from a politically active right-wing billionaire. The campaign was to focus on the presidentâs previous ties to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a racially inflammatory topic that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) declared firmly off-limits during his 2008 presidential campaign.Hereâs the rundown on the latest right-wing effort to attack the president from THINK PROGRESS...also Romney's repudiation of it.

Bronzebacks and bushytails are legal May 26
» Missouri Outdoors
Squirrels and smallmouth bass help make Missouri a great place to hunt and fish. JEFFERSON CITYâAnglers generally are as disinterested in the opening dates for hunting seasons as hunters are in fishing-season dates, but the fourth Saturday in May is a red-letter day for both groups. That is opening day for squirrel hunting season and catch-and-keep fishing for black bass in Ozark streams. Hunters may pursue gray and fox squirrels from May 26 through Feb. 15, 2013, with rifles, shotguns or archery equipment. The aggregate bag limit is 10 squirrels and the possession limit is 20. âAggregateâ means hunters may harvest any combination of fox and gray squirrels so long as they do not exceed 10 squirrels total in one day. If hunters bag a daily limit two days in a row, they will have a possession limit of 20 squirrels. After that, they must eat or give away some squirrels before going hunting again in order to stay within the possession limit. Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, known collectively as black bass, may be caught and possessed year âround from impoundments and areas other than the Ozarks. These other areas are defined as the Mississippi river, all waters north of the south bank of the Missouri River, the St. Francis River downstream from Wappapello Dam and streams in that portion of southeast Missouri bounded by a line from Cape Girardeau following Missouri highways 74 and 25, U.S. highways 60, 67 and 160, and the west bank of the Little Black River to the Arkansas state line.
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The daily limit on black bass in most of the stateâs waters is six, with a possession limit of 12. However, many lakes and streams are subject to special daily and length limits. These are listed in the 2012 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations. The booklet is available from permit vendors, Missouri Department of Conservation offices and online at mdc.mo.gov/node/6108. The 2012 Summary of Missouri Hunting and Trapping Regulations is available at mdc.mo.gov/node/3657. -Jim Low-

Five FalconCam chicks flourishing, banded for WBS research
» Missouri Outdoors
ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Through a cooperative effort among the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), Ameren Missouri and the World Bird Sanctuary (WBS), tens-of-thousands of people from around Missouri and around the world have been getting a birdâs-eye view of peregrine falcons raising five chicks in a nest box at Amerenâs Sioux Energy Center in St. Louis. A camera mounted near the birdsâ nest box provides video feeds to each organizationâs website.
Courtesy MDC
Ameren staff installed the webcam at the nest site in early January with this yearâs nesting activities first spotted in the beginning of February. According to WBS Director Jeff Meshach, the female peregrine falcon laid five eggs in mid-March, which hatched in mid-April.
Meshach placed leg bands on the five falcon chicks on Monday, May 14. The process took about one hour and involved removing the chicks from the nest and taking them down from the nesting site to a trailer. WBS staff then drew blood samples and took weights and measurements of the chicks. After the chicks were banded, Meshach returned them to the nest.
"The chicks appear healthy and very well fed,â said Meshach. âThe average number of chicks per nest is below four, so it is fairly rare to have five chicks, especially two years in a row now."
He added that the chicks will continue to rapidly grow. âThe two male chicks should be fledging the nest between 40 and 50 days old, on or about June 4,â he said. âThe three females will fledge between 50 and 60 days of age, on or about June 15. Since the females are up to a third larger than the males, it takes them longer to develop.â
The leg bands are issued to permitted organizations through the U.S. Geological Survey.
âWhen the bands are observed, hopefully on healthy peregrines in the wild, they can provide information on migration routes, migration distances and distributions on breeding birds,â Meshach explained. âFor instance, the mother of the chicks has a black-over-green band with the letter P within the black and the number 43 within the green. We were able to see the band because of the camera. We now know she was hatched at a power plant in Louisa County, Iowa, in 2005."
Watch a brief video of the banding at youtube.com/watch?v=O1UxDzLh6pc.
The nest can be viewed live from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. (CT) seven days a week on MDCâs website at mdc.mo.gov/node/16934, on Amerenâs website at AmerenMissouri.com/FalconWatch and on the WBS website at worldbirdsanctuary.org.
Considered the worldâs fastest animal, peregrine falcons have been clocked diving at 261 mph. For more information on peregrine falcons, visit MDC online at mdc.mo.gov.

How can I prevent a real estate commission charge to show up on the HUD?
» Online Kansas CityHow can I prevent a real estate commission charge to show up on the HUD?
Question: I am buying a home in Leawood, Kansas and my buyer's agent added a $500 fee on the HUD that she says her office charges. I have reviewed our contract and I don't see it. When I questioned her she said it must have been omitted and she wants to redo the buyer's agency contract. I don't agree with this and I told her. She said that her office will not allow the sale to go through without the fee being charged. Is this legal?
Henry J. from Overland Park, Kansas
Answer: Henry, I would have a sit down talk with your agent and her broker. What she is doing is not a practice that is shared with most real estate agents in Kansas City. In addition, a real estate commission can't be charged unless agreed upon in writing beforehand. When you have the sit down meeting, take your paperwork including the buyers agency contract.

The home I was renting in Olathe, Kansas was foreclosed on - I lost much of my personal items and my security deposit
» Online Kansas CityThe home I was renting in Olathe, Kansas was foreclosed on - I lost much of my personal items and my security deposit
Question: I rented a home 3 months ago in Olathe, Kansas. I have not been late on any of my rent payments. I came home from work last week and found all belongings on the driveway and people rummaging through it. I found out that the bank foreclosed on the landlord. I also found out that the landlord moved out after being foreclosed by the bank and decided to get a few extra bucks by renting the home until the bank took it. The landlord never told me that the home was in or had been foreclosed on. To make matters worse the landlord said he would not return the security deposit because of the damages to the exterior doors. The damages were done by whoever removed my items. Many of the items placed on the driveway in the morning like my tv, couch, dining table and beds were stolen by the time I got home at night. What can I do?
Janice G. from Olathe, Kansas
Answer: Don't take the time to read my response. Call an attorney, quickly. There are many issues that are plain wrong, here. If you need a referral for a good Olathe attorney, please contact me.

RHS students assist with clean up of ACORN Trail
» City of Rolla, Missouri
By Mayor Bill Jenks, III
For the sixth consecutive year Rolla High School Biology II students and RHS Biology Teacher, Dwight Warnke with the RHS Stream Team #4173, recently provided valuable assistance to the Cityâs Parks and Recreation Department in their efforts to clean up the stream banks along the ACORN Trail, Dutro Carter Creek, and other areas located near Ber Juan Lake and Ber Juan Park.
Using mesh trash bags, gloves, and a lot of sweat equity, the dedicated students picked up 22 large bags and 30 smaller bags of trash, plus an assortment of small appliances and metal that were located on the banks of Dutro Carter Creek along the ACORN (A Community Organization to Restore Nature) Trail. The volunteer effort was completed on Saturday, April 28 prior to the 8th Annual Youth Fishing Fair on May 5 at Ber Juan Lake. In addition to all the trash and debris that was picked up, Mr. Warnke reported to the Parks and Recreation Department staff that the students also found and turned in a stolen wallet and seven different syringes to the Rolla Police Department at different points along the 1.5-miles of stream channel cleaned up along the ACORN Trail. The maximum number of syringes the students found in the past was two according to Mr. Warnke who said the amount of trash collected was the least amount collected during this bi-annual event over the last six years. Iâd like to echo the comments from the Cityâs Parks and Recreation Department that the City truly appreciates the hard work and effort that the Biology II students at Rolla High School, Stream Team #4173 and Mr. Warnke have generously provided over the past six years. Iâd also like to thank the Missouri Department of Conservation for helping coordinate the Stream Team Clean Up event among the students, and the Parks and Recreation Department for helping make this all possible. It is through collaborations such as these that our beautiful parks, streams and park land continue to be great resources, recreational areas, and places of pride for our city.

My 2 cents.
» Just Another Missouri RebelFor what its worth.
Doing my rounds of the blogosphere and noticed several posts about your first gun purchase. Every one of them I read were full of useful information that shouldn't be discounted. But. I noticed, in particular, that nearly all of them steer you away from the lightweight snubbie revolvers with the usual; poor sights, recoil, etc. All valid reasons. However I noticed there wasn't much in the department as to the fleshing out of those details. I will attempt to do this. Probably poorly.
For starters, snubbies do recoil, a lot, I own exactly 1 for a reason, it isn't fun to shoot unless you are a recoil junkie and this is for a 5-shot .38 spl. Even with the porting the muzzle flip and palm bruising is more violent than anything else I've shot and that includes my Dad's .44 magnum. To put it simply, it hurts to shoot. I know I'll hear it (if anyone outside the usual suspects chooses to respond, if at all). "Aww does the itty-bitty gun hurt your wittle hands?" Short answer, yes. Beyond that, well, my "wittle" hands could be described as hams in some parts of this country and I'm not little unless you are around guys that make André the Giant look like common folk. At any rate I keep my snubbie for one reason, it's a spurless hammer, stainless steel and it fits in a pocket, no muss no fuss. Also being a revolver there is little to no chance of a jam, and no chance of a FTF or FTE (failure to feed and failure to eject respectively).
Second to the recoil is the sight radius, or lack there-of, if you prefer. Mine has a total of 3 and 5/8ths inches of it, vs my next smallest pistol which is 5 inches, in this case, size matters. The longer the sight radius the more accurate you can be. Because at longer distances any variation in the sight alignment is more noticeable and easier to correct. The reason I'm comfortable carrying a firearm that is lacking in comfort and accuracy is that I know its abilities and limitations. It is designed as a close range piece, not much over speaking distance. (Find out your abilities and know your limits). The snub is the next logical step in the evolution of the belly gun so to speak. (Formerly 2-shot pistols lumped under the common "Derringer" class). Which were designed to be hidden by a belt buckle and employed at card table distance (about 4.5 - 5 ft) or less, usually less. Hence the term "belly gun", its not only where you carried it, its also where you stuck the muzzle on your target. It serves that purpose well. Having 5 shots vs 2 also gives you extra firepower and more firepower never hurt unless you are the one facing it. Another reason I'm comfortable with carrying it is that I know what I can do with it under stress. I practice. Your mileage will vary. However, the key with any firearm is P-R-A-C-T-I-C-E. I don't as much as I should, but enough to remain confident in knowing what my skills are and more importantly, are not.
In closing, a snubbie in my opinion is the wrong platform to learn on. It doesn't let you figure out your abilities and limits for yourself, it tells you, painfully. It is a purchase best left til you have garnered some skill and knowledge with various other firearms so you know what it is and is not capable of. Forget what you have seen on TV too, most of it isn't real. What parts are real, are performed by people that don't do much else beyond send lead down range for a living. As an aside, I know people both personally and on the internet that are superb shots with small revolvers and sub compact semi-autos. This is because they shoot them, a lot, and already know what they are doing as well as what to expect.

Quail, Pollinators Featured at June 1st Farm Field Day
» Missouri Beginning FarmingYou can learn about the birds and the bees June 21 when University of Missouriâs Bradford Research Center hosts a field day on bobwhite quail and native pollinators.
What do bobwhite quail and pollinators have to do with each other? Quite a bit, according to Bob Pierce, state fisheries and wildlife specialist for MU Extension.
âBobwhite quail require early-successional plant communities â that means forbs and legumes â or weedy vegetation â for food and cover,â Pierce said.
The flowers of these native plants produce nectar that attracts pollinating insects, including certain bees, wasps, butterflies and moths. Others may serve as host plants that provide breeding and feeding areas, he said.
âIn fact, some species of butterfly require a specific host plant to successfully breed because only those plants meet the nutritional needs of the larvae or caterpillars hatched from eggs,â Pierce said.
Insects found in these plant communities are also an important food source for quail chicks, he said.
Bobwhite quail, a once-abundant upland game bird, have suffered a steep population decline in Missouri and across their range during the past few decades, partly due to modern farming practices that have erased prime quail habitat. In recent years, MU Bradford Research Center has served as a laboratory for implementing practices that integrate habitat management for bobwhites into modern farm operations, Pierce said.
Pollinators play a vital part in agriculture as well as in wildlife habitats. âAbout 30 percent of food and fiber crop production relies on pollinators for reproduction, and Missouri is no exception with our abundance of fruit and vegetable crops,â said Tim Reinbott, superintendent of the MU Bradford Research Center.
The decrease in populations of European honeybees due to colony collapse disorder has triggered interest in other pollinators, which include native bees and other insects as well as certain bat and bird species. Native forbs and legumes found in field borders and in native vegetation around crop fields not only attract pollinators, they also draw other beneficial insects that prey on potential insect pests.
The field day will highlight the benefits of managing your farm or property for a diversity of habitats that support populations of bobwhite quail, rabbits, songbirds and, of course, insects and pollinators, Pierce said.
The field day begins at 1 p.m. with management demonstrations in ATV sprayer and drill calibration, tree planting and bird dog training.
The featured speaker will be Pete Berthelsen, senior field coordinator for Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever. Berthelsen was the winner of the 2011 Farmer/Rancher Pollinator Award from the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign and the National Association of Conservation Districts.
Berthelsen played a key role in making pollinator planting guidelines part of federal Conservation Reserve Program practices and other farm bill conservation programs. He will talk about enhancing habitats for pollinators.
Walking and wagon tours will look at landscaping and attracting pollinators with native plants; the economics of field borders and edge feathering to integrate wildlife habitat and farmland; and a private landownerâs perspective on implementing wildlife practices on the farm.
âWe will also be conducting an afternoon and evening workshop on bobwhite quail ecology, management practices for improving habitats on the farm, the impact of predators, as well as other useful management tips,â Pierce said.
Sponsors include the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; MU Extension; Lincoln University; the Missouri Department of Conservation; the Missouri Soybean Association; and the USDAâs Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The event is free and reservations are not required. Drinks and hamburgers will be provided after the event to those who complete a brief evaluation form.
Bradford Research Center is 6.5 miles east of Columbia at 4968 Rangeline Road. Click here for directions and for other information call 573-884-7945.

A Censored Race War
» Radioman's Kansas CityFrom National Review - Thomas Sowell
What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that the hoodlum elements in many ghettoes launch coordinated attacks on whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over.

We no longer trust our Kansas City real estate agent
» Online Kansas City
Question: We no longer trust our Kansas City real estate agent. We paid $500.00 upfront for the services of a Realtor to sell our Overland Park home. He never called us and we noticed last night that he took our home off the market, without our consent. How can we get our upfront money back and get out of this listing nightmare? He says our money is non-refundable. In 3 months we had 3 showings and two of them were on the same day from another Realtor. Any help would be appreciated. We are open to showings anytime and even lowered the price by $10,000 in the first three weeks.
Tammy K. from Overland Park, KansasAnswer: Sorry to hear about your listing nightmare. Using a full-time professional REALTOR is supposed to make your life easier and more pleasant. Without getting into specifics, it sounds like you're using the services of a "Limited Services REALTOR." That is ok, but you need to keep in mind that real estate listing contracts have ending dates. First, how do you know our listing has been removed? Are you talking about syndication sites, REALTOR.com or another REALTORS site? Look at your listing contract and see when it expires.Next, refer to your listing agreement which would detail the terms/conditions under which your binding contract could be terminated. If he indeed took your home off the market without your expressed written consent, then first talk to him with his broker. If that doesn't work, consult a real estate attorney who could better advise you on your possible courses of action.Best of luck, Tammy.

Kansas ranked 42nd out of the 50 states in keeping their native sons and daughters
» Online Kansas CityAccording to a 2007 survey, only 47.9% of the native sons and daughters stay in Kansas after the age of 25. Many of the adults leave Kansas for higher education and then relocate to a job or they leave Kansas in young adulthood to find employment in a trade in another state.
Kansas ranked 42nd out of the 50 states in keeping their native sons and daughters. Looking at more recent data, the State of Kansas might be sliding a little more down the chart.
Should the State of Kansas work harder to keep its native sons and daughters?

Lewis and Clark State Park reopens day-use area
» Missouri Outdoors
Visitors to northwest Missouri have a new destination for an afternoon outing with the reopening of the day-use area at Lewis and Clark State Park near Rushville.(Photo credit: Wikipedia)
According to Missouri State Parks, the reopened areas include the playground, boat ramp, open shelter, interpretive plaza and picnic area. The campground and the beach (including the showerhouse) remain closed until further notice.
The park, located on an oxbow lake near the Missouri River, was closed last summer because of flooding from the riverâs rising water levels.
Although the campground at Lewis and Clark State Park remains temporarily closed, there are other state parks in northwest Missouri that are open to campers. These include Wallace State Park near Cameron, Weston Bend State Park near Weston and Watkins Woolen Mill State Park near Lawson. For more information about these parks, visit mostateparks.com.
Lewis and Clark State Park is located 20 miles southwest of St. Joseph at 801 Lake Crest Blvd. in Rushville. For more information about the park, call the park at [816-579-5564] or visit mostateparks.com. Missouri State Parks is a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Related articles

CSA Benchmark Project: How Well is My Operation Really Doing?
» Missouri Beginning Farming
National Good Food Network WebinarThe CSA Benchmark Project: How Well Is My Operation REALLY Doing?Thursday, May 17 from 3:30 - 4:45pm ET - FREEClick here">[https:] to register.
Farm Credit East, part of the nationwide Farm Credit System of lending cooperatives, has made loans to many farms that use a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model. Generally CSAs work by collecting up-front capital from consumers before the planting season, which buys them a weekly portion of the farm's bounty during the growing months. The basic CSA business model is now a widespread direct-to-consumer marketing strategy.
But how is a farmer to know if their operation's financial performance is adequate, or find out how they can improve their profitability? As part of their strategy to serve the needs of their farmer-members, Farm Credit East has aggregated and analyzed the data from a sample of their CSA borrowers, and has established some preliminary financial benchmarks and performance standards.
With benchmarking, it's as if farmers can peer into the financial results of many CSA farms in order to understand how their business financial performance compares to others. That data will help CSA farmers identify where they can improve business practices to increase profitability.
This webinar will illustrate what you need to measure (the key evaluation factors), what expectations can be set from comparison to best practices (benchmarking), and what management strategies can help move financial performance to a higher level (implementation of leading edge practices).

Speak Up NOW â Itâs Do or Die for CPR in Schools
» Missouri Advocacy BeatLiterallyâŠif our CPR in Schools legislation doesnât pass out of the Senate this week â the bill will be dead. If it passes, it will be because of YOU. The Bill has made it all the way to the Senate Floor! With that said, the language must still be amended and it must be passed out of the Senate by the end of this week.
HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: We need you to take action by clicking on the link below to send an email to your Senator AND follow-up with a phone call to leave a message with their office. We have provided a script and talking points below for your convenience. What takes only a matter of minutes will save 1000âs of lives. Please, ACT NOW!
TAKE ACTION â Follow this link to urge your Senator to agree to amend the language in HB 1337 from âmayâ back to âshallâ and pass it out of the Senate.
Once you take action above, please leave a quick message with your Missouri State Senatorâs Legislative Assistant. Click here to find their office phone number.
Talking Points/Script:
1. Find your State Senatorâs office phone by using the link above
2. Call and ask to speak with their Legislative Assistant and identify yourself as a constituent
3. Tell the assistant that you would like to leave a message for your Senator urging them to support HB 1337 by reinstating the requirement for CPR training by amending the language from âmayâ back to âshallâ. This legislation would enact lifesaving change to Missouriâs education policy, ensuring that students graduating from high school statewide know how to save a life in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest emergency.
This bill allows flexibility for the schools - CPR can be taught during health class, PE, or anytime throughout the school day. The training can be administered by any teacher or an outside instructor. The teacher administering the training does not have to be a certified trainer and does not require students to achieve CPR certification. The bill simply allows students to understand and become familiar with the new âHands Onlyâ CPR instruction.
***Cut/paste this link if you would like to post this alert to your Facebook or Twitter page: [bit.ly]
Act NOW - time is running out! Thank you!

49 Headless Bodies. Don't ya just love Mexico?
» Radioman's Kansas CityAuthorities struggled Monday to identify the 49 people found mutilated and scattered in a pool of blood in a region near the U.S .border where Mexico's two dominant drug cartels are trying to outdo each other in bloodshed while warring over smuggling routes.
The bodies of 43 men and six women with their heads, hands and feet chopped off were dumped at the entrance to the town of San Juan, on a highway that connects the industrial city of Monterrey with Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas.
At the spot where authorities discovered the bodies before dawn Sunday, a white stone arch that normally welcomes visitors to the town was spray-painted with "100% Zeta" in black letters â an apparent reference to the fearsome Zetas drug cartel that was founded by deserters from the Mexican army's special forces.

Seven Second Video Of The Scouts Not Playing Hockey
» The NHL In Kansas City
Footage of the Scouts is hard to come by. The only video I'd ever seen is from a video on YouTube showing some clips of the North Stars manhandling the Scouts (around 4:00-7:00). We can now add to that seven more seconds from this video (0:54-1:01). Wilf Paiement is shown fighting Grant Mulvey of the Black Hawks in Kemper Arena, and then we see Dave Hudson leaning on his stick, assumedly waiting to start playing again while the aftermath of the fight is cleared up. I'm pretty sure the footage comes from January 18, 1975, during a rare Scouts victory.
