By: Maria Manuela
As Diana Casey explores the hills, meadows and mountains around her high desert home, she takes notice of certain things around her — the texture of rocks in the arroyo bed, or the particular hue that bathes the city in orange light as it dips behind the horizon. Then, she returns to her home studio, sits at her loom and weaves her memories into cloth.
After visiting New Mexico for the first time, Diana was inspired by the landscapes and colors. She wanted to hold onto those memories when she traveled home to New York in the cold, dark winter. "A lot of my weavings are inspired by New Mexico colors. It was a few years ago that I first came here and I was so sad to leave. I wove the colors as memories for myself ... I guess it's like keeping the memory of certain colors alive."
Petal pink, lavender, cream, maroon, pale yellow and sky blue are some of the shades that appear throughout her weaving. "I think we have such an emotional response to colors, we feel them. So it feels very therapeutic to just use them. Certain colors remind me of something, and it takes me back to that memory." She creates sunsets with warm watermelon-toned suns against the deep blue that blankets the sky at dusk. Framed in fluffy wool clouds, they're as beautiful as the real thing.
Diana weaves odes to nature, which she credits as her constant inspiration. The yellow Chamisa that covers Santa Fe in the fall sparked her imagination, and she was thrilled to find yellow yarn, the perfect hue to represent the Chamisa in her pieces. Some of her weavings have tassels, or bits with bunchy texture that look like a tactile dream. "The really textural pieces are inspired by rocks. I know they appear a lot softer, but I really connect that in this abstract way."
"I think we have such an emotional response to colors, we feel them. So it feels very therapeutic to just use them. Certain colors remind me of something, and it takes me back to that memory."
When she left Brooklyn — where she grew up — in November 2017, she did so seeking a more nature-centric environment. Now she lives in Santa Fe with her husband George, who owns Lost Padre Records, and she's working to master new weaving techniques. She takes classes at the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center and recently moved to working on a floor loom. "There's a really great community of ladies there ... it's definitely a really cool group of people."
During Diana's freshman year of college at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Sept. 11 happened; it took her art in a heavy direction. She was majoring in painting at the time, and the tragedy permeated her work. "I haven't been painting. My paintings are a lot about anxiety and the modern world and weapons." It's something she hopes to go back to someday, but weaving is her love right now. She sees Zen in her craft. "A lot of people talk about weaving as therapeutic, and I do think that's true. It's almost like a meditation."
Her first show was at Dandelion Guild in Santa Fe this fall, and she has just released her website – astralweaves.com – where you can keep an eye on her upcoming projects or reach out for a commissioned piece. Her work is best experienced in person, so you can see each fiber in the high-quality wool, and appreciate the dimension and texture she creates. Diana says having her work at Dandelion Guild where people could interact with it in person made her want to show her work more often. So, she's working on having another show sometime soon. Don't miss it.
About the author: Maria was born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she currently lives and works as a freelance journalist. She wrote several 2017 cover stories in the Santa Fe Reporter, and had a former column called Bed Head, which focused on New Mexico-based fashion. She also makes clothing and sells curated vintage through her online shop, Heirmana. Over the past year, Maria has become more and more dedicated to telling women's stories, as she feels it is the best work she can do during this time of change, awakening, and female empowerment. She highlights women who are inspiring movements, breeding positivity, and spreading supportive messages to other women through their art, music, food, design, writing, and more.

Today is a beautiful date – and since kids went back to school after three weeks at home ( and solidified for eternity that I am not fit to be a homeschooling mother – so I will not be one) I am declaring 01-11 to be the first day of 2011, for me. My desk is clean (everything I need to take care of is hidden away in a box) The House is spotless (it is every other Tuesday today – what a wonderful way to start this adventure) and I am back at Yoga! breathe in- because this is it!!!!
Yesterday, when we were walking to school (hip hip HIP hooray) I noticed that winter had made an appearance- there was frost on the grass!!! As they say – he neighbor's grass was even whiter! It was SO white my kids thought it was snow…it wasn't! But it was cold – as cold as it can get here on a sunny winter day ("look, we're smoking!!!!") Obviously, by the time I picked them up from school they were in their short sleeved T- shirts, hooded sweaters cramped at the bottom of the back pack, under the homework and over spilled fruit loops…
So that moment of coldness, and the smell of freedom, inspired me to post these images of the lovely- crazy- adorable- wild sisters – you may remember them from last Winter (yes, it was "cold" then too) – so with all that said- I have my new years resolution's set – and the count starts now! Happy New Year!

Brazil Tourism
South America's largest country, offers the tourist kaleidoscopic carnivals, spectacular cities and towns – Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Curitiba for example – lively friendly people, superb beaches and the massive Iguaçu Falls in the south, but naturally many visitors come to Brazil looking for wildlife.
The Amazon, however, can raise false expectations as it is not an African wildlife experience with teeming herds of animals.
Visitors should go there for the ambience, the river and rainforest views, the chugging life and the best jungle experience – as well as the creatures that make themselves available. Forget animal head counts, go to feel, hear and see the world's greatest rainforest in all its monstrous, sweaty, buzzing, uncomfortable glory. While it lasts. . .

It's easy to be overconscious of the crime situation in Brazil and spoil your trip – or not go at all for that matter, but things are not as bad as that; obey some basic rules and you'll have a wonderful time.
• Don't walk lonely back-streets at night, especially after too many drinks; take a taxi home.
• Keep a close eye on your baggage on buses or trains, particularly at night. In fact, try to avoid night moves completely.
• Stay in as expensive hotel as you can afford, and use the safe.
• Don't take valuables to the beach and preferably don't wear any jewellery or pricey watches.
• Don't do drugs.
• Don't resist if someone does rob you. In fact locals often carry a small roll of throwaway cash in a pocket and more serious cash hidden elsewhere.
• Don't automatically run to the police if you do get robbed, they're sadly corrupt and useless.

Amazon jungle trips are more about the boating upriver into the damp, buzzing, oppressive ambience than seeing animals, since most of the bigger critters only appear at night when you least want to be there.
Floating about on a dugout canoe at night in search of caiman by torchlight, freaking at odd splashes and squawks and beating mozzies off would not be untypical
You may well see caiman (crocs), monkeys, sloths, pink dolphins, tarantulas, electric eels and parrots galore, but don't think of this as a massed-animal experience such as you may see in East Africa or Namibia. Best July-Oct for the dry season.
Wildlife is possibly more visible in the Pantanal (see below) to the south, though it's a swamp, not a jungle, so offers less ambience, romance or name-dropping.
Note that one of Brazil's South America neighbours, Peru, also offers great Amazon experiences starting from the grubby town of Iquitos.
*Belem. A not unattractive Amazon city and starting point for Amazon river journeys. A riverboat up to Manaus takes about five days. Second-class on these boats is distinctly hot and uncomfortable.
If you can afford it tourist boats will not only give you a good night's sleep and protect your valuables, but they may give you lessons on the environment too.
*Manaus. A historically interesting city, but now overbuilt and unattractive, though a necessary evil for starting Brazilian Amazon exploration.
***The Pantanal (way south of the Amazon). A massive wetland and ranch area in central-west Brazil (NW of Rio) alive with wild things, including iguanas, tapir, capybara, caiman (crocodiles), giant snakes and anteaters, but in particular birds (parrots, macaws and so on). It's best July – Oct (the dry season, so less humidity, less mosquitoes, more life visible).
An Amazonian tarantula in north Brazil, one of the critters you might expect to meet during a night stroll in the forest. Photo by Jim
Amazon Rainforest vegetation is so dense that you'd be lucky to see an anteater at ten paces, even if it ventured out in the daytime.
But most Amazon creatures hunt at night, and that's not an especially good time for nervous tourists to be thrusting their way through dark, dense undergrowth, accompanied by squadrons of thirsty mosquitoes, spooky noises and slithering things that are possibly hyper tense black mambas.
Not forgetting the tarantulas that like to drop onto the insects that will be hovering over your torch beam or dinner candle – and they're sometimes not very accurate, which makes them irritable.
We exaggerate of course. You can find interesting little animals and birds in the rainforest, but you really need a good, knowledgeable guide with great eyesight!
If you really want to see clear cut Brazilian wildlife consider heading for The Pantanal further south instead. We have no experience of this massive swampland but some visitors say it's the bees knees.
Iguaçu Falls in south Brasil, an awesome destination but a long way south, so it's a plane ride or a very long road trip. Photo by SFBrit
Brazil Weather
The best time to go to coastal areas is from April-September but for the Amazon or Pantanal it's best from July-October, the dry season.
Worst: December – February (hot, humid and local holidays)

Mad Dash isn't exactly a racing game -- it's more like a crazy marathon where the winner is the person who manages to avoid falling on their butt the least. Because you're on feet, it's not exactly about power-sliding, it's got nothing to do with cornering, and even less to do with pathing your course out to give yourself the best angles. What it's really about is being able to find the secrets in the environment to give yourself a few precious seconds ahead of the opponents. It's not enough just to race faster and blast opponents better -- you better grab those soda cans to get your flying capabilities up so you can take that speed burst through the hoop that gets... you get the picture. What separates Mad Dash from other racing games is that you've got to really learn the maps to make the most of them. Because the game design keeps your foes pretty much toe to toe with you at all times, its up to you to use the shortcuts to give you the real advantage against your competitors. Play it straightforward and get third again and again, and you'll realize what I'm talking about.
It's not just running and attacking, either. You'll have to swim, do hand-over-hand crawling, and climb ladders by twirling the right analog quickly at key moments. Precision jumping is required, some good targeting skills are needed, and quick reflexes are a must. Sound similar to weird games like Mystic Marathon in the arcades way back when? We thought so as well. This is far from old school, though. There's a million things going on in the levels, from creatures tossing bombs at you and generally getting in your way to giant fire-breathing dragons that make your life hell when you're trying to get over wobbly, balancing rocks. Levels average between three and four minutes each, with no repetition, and in the course of one race you'll find yourself hopping on leaves, racing on water, sliding down pipes, jumping through a giant building full of gears, avoiding spikes, and crossing creaky, crumbling bridges. Like the cartoons it's influenced by, this is definitely game design for the short attention span theater crowd. It can get pretty crazy, especially when you're trying to figure out where to go next while dodging your foes and the natural enemies in the environments.
The designers have given you a few advantages to put things in your favor, however. Soda cans give you energy for your special ability, and red pouches give you special weapons like the disco ball (a shield and speed boost), a Tron energy beam that nails fools running behind you, and of course the requisite heat-seeking chicken. To truly conquer a race you'll need the green gobs all around the levels. Not only do they pump up your stats, but get enough of them and you'll gain access to all the abilities (dashing, bashing, and gliding), opening up every shortcut in the game as long as you keep from getting hurt, and as long as you've got enough energy for your special abilities.
Depending on how you feel about cartoon animals with piercings, the characters are either going to make you giggle, or vomit. Maybe both? Betty the Basher pulls off lines like "get your hand out of your butt and press the button to continue," if that's any example for you. The art style is great though, twisted, angular weirdness that still allows for some details in the environment.
So far, it looks like gliding is definitely the way to go. It's pretty clear where you're supposed to go to find gliding secrets -- up -- and you can always use it to get past bad jumps, anyway. Dashing only comes in handy a few time a level, and to use Bashing, you've got to constantly watch the environment for clues of what's bashable and what's not. Then again, that's part of the fun of the game. On repeat play, you'll start to discover where the secrets are hidden for each type, and on harder levels, finally give yourself a fighting chance to beat your opponents.
We could talk all day, but let's be honest -- you're here for the movies. Look for a review of Mad Dash in a matter of weeks, but until then, enjoy an animated glimpse at the characters and their crazy races.

Facebook earlier released a list of news stories that were shared the maximum number of times on Facebook in 2011. The list offers an insight into the kind of content that goes viral on the web and what news websites are popular among the 800 million users of Facebook.
Facebook Likes vs Twitter vs Google +1
After Facebook, Twitter is the second most popular destination where people share tweet stories but is there any correlation between Facebook Likes and tweets? Not really.
Here's a table that compares the Facebook Likes and tweet count of a story and, as is obvious from the live data, a story that is a hit on Facebook may not always get that kind of reception on Twitter. For instance, the CNN story on "What teachers really want to tell parents" was liked by ~600k Facebook users but generated only 4k tweets on Twitter.
Stories from mainstream media like CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, Yahoo News and The Wall Street Journal dominate the list while The Huffington Post is the only "new media" organization that made it to this Facebook list of "most shared stories." The other big surprise is Google Plus – look at the +1 count of the "most shared stories" and there's almost no activity happening in that side. Or it could even be a glitch in the data.

Irving officer involved in apparent murder-suicide
A husband and wife were discovered shot to death Sunday in a Fort Worth home, police say, in what appears to be a murder-suicide involving a police officer, according to reports.

So sorry for the long pause! I had to set aside blogging in October to focus on a few big projects. Mainly, finishing up a client project, working on a re-design/re-brand of my website and design business and re-modeling my master bathroom. Hate to leave you hanging, but that's just a hint of some exciting things to come in the new year. In the mean time, my favorite time of year is upon us. Sure, some folks like to go from Halloween straight to Christmas, but not this girl. I really love Thanksgiving. It's all about family, friends, good food and of course giving thanks for all of the above. These are crazy times and I don't know about you, but I'm ready to gather my loved ones and celebrate what I have.
In reality, Thanksgiving is less than a week away and I'm expecting a house full of family. Did I mention I'm down a bathroom too? That means I'm going to minimize stress and keep the table setting pretty simple. You can still get a festive look without getting too complicated by using a few strategically placed bits of greenery and candles. I'll leave you with a few lovely and inspiring images.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Nov. 9 (UPI) -- A caravan of migrants from Central America is on the move and headed toward the United States once again, after voting to leave Mexico City Friday.
The decision to continue on foot was made late Thursday, shortly after President Donald Trump's administration announced new restrictions on those seeking asylum in the United States.
The migrants voted to leave the Mexican capital for Queretaro, Mexico, about 120 miles to the north, USA Today reported. Supporters say they're looking to walk the longer, but safer, route to Tijuana -- instead of a shorter trek across the Rio Grande into Texas.
Tijuana is about 1,600 miles from Queretaro.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 migrants remain in the caravan after organizers were unsuccessful in persuading United Nations officials to send buses for them.
As the group continued north, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security posted a new joint rule Thursday to deny certain immigrants who attempt to cross the U.S. border.
"Consistent with our immigration laws, the president has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so," officials said in a statement.
"Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it. Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility."
The new rule is expected to be challenged in federal court.
Trump has railed against the current U.S. asylum system for accepting large groups of migrants from Central America. While campaigning for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections, he referred to the caravan as an "invasion" that includes some criminals in the group.
Second and third caravans from Central America are also on their way to the United States border.

Urmi Basu
Doctor helps educate prostitutes's children
Urmi Basu is the founder of New Light, a secular nonprofit charitable trust that has set up a shelter to protect and educate young girls, children and women at high risk of commercial sexual exploitation.

Basu is a well-educated, middle class woman who was born in Kolkata to a father who was a doctor and a mother working in the healthcare profession. She credits her parents with raising her with a great deal of freedom and a strong sense of her own social responsibility.
After finishing her graduate work in sociology, Basu studied social work, specializing in criminology and correctional administration. This, Basu says, was "extremely important and left a very deep impact and influence on the work that I do today."
After working at a number of organizations, including those working with street children and women in isolated rural areas, Basu said she felt the need to do "something where I could see my work impacting the lives of people" and used her own savings to found New Light in 2000.
Since then, New Light has evolved into a community development project that reaches deeply into Kolkata to help vulnerable populations. In addition to its education initiatives, New Light has begun HIV/Aids prevention, care and treatment programs.

Feel it , try it, switch it
Exploring Lipohypertrophy & Benefits of proper Injection Techniques
This 60-minute presentation will visit how lipohypertrophy (lipos) can adversely affect glycemic control and how proper injection technique can prevent lipohypertrophies from developing and also by revisiting and adapting better injection techniques lipohypertrophies can resolve resulting in better and more consistent glycemic control.
This presentation will present these 3 main topics:
Feel IT
- Understand what lipohypertrophy is, how it develops and how to prevent it.
- Learn how you can assess and identify lipohypertrophy (lipos) in your practice.
- Review practical tips for treatment of lipohypertrophy.
Try IT
- Review proper injection technique (IT) for people living with diabetes, including proper site rotation.
Switch IT
- Understand the impact of needle length in relation to lipohypertrophy.
The concepts will be presented using a typical insulin case presentation in a patient who has been using insulin for about 10 years. The patient has had increasing doses of insulin over the years but also has more variability of glycemic control. By investigating the impact of lipohypertrophy and then applying the FIT (Forum for Injection Technique) recommendations, the program will illustrate how as pharmacists we may help overcome the challenges of "lipo's" by identifying poor injection technique as part of a therapy review. The role of proper needle length in avoiding intramuscular injections and its potential for causing inconsistent insulin absorption is also discussed.

Did you know the two primary roles of our subconscious mind are to Protect and Serve? This means our subconscious mind 'Police' and enforces our reality.
Our subconscious mind is a divine gift from this Universe to be used in a prudent manner. It is constructed to 'protect' us by all means necessary and to 'serve' us with whatever we desire through our 'emotional input.'
See, our subconscious mind responds only to what we feed it, by way of consistent thought. And after our subconscious mind stores a regularly thought upon belief as being valid this automatically forms what we call our "second nature." Hence, anything that we religiously dwell upon, over-and-over-again our subconscious mind will eventually alleviate us from having to 'consciously' focus on these specific actions and beliefs. Thus, these human behaviors will automatically become part of our everyday life without a "second thought."
I really feel humanity (for the most part) has no Earthly idea how much power we possess by way of our subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind is an outlet for our power; considering whatever we thoughtfully feed to our subconscious mind, our subconscious mind will digest our emotional input and proceed to serve us with whatever we coherently or incoherently ordered.
However, there is a caveat to being connected to this much power. Our subconscious mind is extremely obedient and it is equipped to obey our every command, via thought; without any questions asked. In other words, our subconscious mind is not going to attempt to correct us, negotiate with us, or even determine whether or not certain information that we choose to dwell upon is helpful or 'harmful.'
Therefore, if you have accepted something or anything as being your 'concept' of the truth, well then your subconscious mind will ensure that you experience what you have deemed to be legitimate. And once your subconscious mind 'serves' you with what you have thought to be credible, it will then proceed to 'protect' your chosen belief by all means necessary.

The Vinod Kumar-led company owns over 68% shares of Neotel, which no longer fits with Tata Communications' long-term business play. Parties have shown interest in Neotel and Tata Communications' intention is to exit the company, Kumar had stated.
The Neotel-Vodacom deal, originally signed in May 2014 for $676 million, was terminated recently as the transaction was stuck in a regulatory quagmire.
Besides Neotel, Tata Communications will be offloading its interest in the data centre business. It is in advanced talks with Singapore Technologies Telemedia for the data centre unit, which is valued at over $700 million.

Want to know the hottest celebrity trend? Sharing old, embarrassing childhood photos in honor of hurricane relief!
Since Stephen Colbert and his guest Nick Kroll launched the #PuberMe Challenge on Wednesday night, in which they asked fellow stars to share pictures of themselves deep in the awful trenches of puberty, the project has become a bonafide Internet movement—and all the big names in Hollywood are joining in.
Of course, the challenge is not just for sheer embarrassment. The Late Show host vowed to pay up to charity in return for contributions.
"For every celebrity that puts up a puberty picture of when they're 13....I'll give a donation from AmeriCone Dream Ice Cream Fund," the host vowed on his show. The money will go toward Hurricane Maria relief efforts.
"I will match that," Kroll added. As Hollywood collectively responded: challenge accepted!

HOUSTON — The Republican-dominated Texas Legislature inched closer on Monday to passing some of the toughest abortion restrictions in the country as the State House of Representatives approved a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and hold abortion clinics to the same standards as hospital-style surgical centers.
Advocates for abortion rights said the measures would force dozens of abortion providers around the state to close and leave only a handful in a few major cities that are able to meet what they described as excessive, costly and medically unnecessary restrictions. Opponents of abortion, including Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and other Republican leaders, said the legislation was aimed at protecting women's health and unborn children.
After the State Senate passed a version of the bill last week, Mr. Dewhurst, who has called for overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, posted a message on Twitter celebrating passage of the bill, known as Senate Bill 5. He wrote: "We fought to pass SB5 thru the Senate last night, & this is why!" Attached was a graphic produced by opponents of the bill that said the legislation would force many clinics to shut their doors.
A few hours later, Mr. Dewhurst attempted to play down his original post, saying that both he and the bill were "unapologetically pro-life" and for women's health. But opponents said his first message demonstrated that the legislation was an unconstitutional attempt by Republican leaders at a backdoor statewide ban on abortion. In January, Mr. Perry told those gathered at an annual anti-abortion rally in Austin that his goal was to "make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the past" and that the ideal world was a world without abortion.
"This bill would endanger the health and safety of millions of women in Texas," said Cecile Richards, the president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and a daughter of Ann Richards, the former Texas governor. "If this passes, abortion would be virtually banned in the state of Texas, and many women could be forced to resort to dangerous and unsafe measures."
The State House approved the measures Monday morning on a 95-to-34 vote. Lawmakers first gave preliminary approval to the bill shortly after 3 a.m., after hours of debate and attempts at delays by Democrats. Though the State Senate passed a version of the bill last week, the legislation did not contain the ban on abortions after 20 weeks. The Senate was scheduled to take up the bill passed by the House on Tuesday under a tight deadline. It has until midnight Tuesday to take action, when the special session of the Legislature ends.
Aspects of the bill, including the 20-week ban, have been blocked as unconstitutional by courts in several other states and even if adopted by Texas would be quickly challenged in court.
The Texas House voted to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks after fertilization, or 22 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period. As such, it passed a measure similar to the one the House of Representatives approved last week in Washington. The bills in Texas and Washington were based on the medically disputed theory that fetuses at that stage of development can feel pain.
If the bill passed, Texas would join Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma and eight other states that have approved so-called fetal pain initiatives, according to Elizabeth Nash, the state issues manager of the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. Mainstream medical groups say the fetal brain is not developed enough to feel pain at that stage of development, but a handful of doctors contend otherwise.
Supreme Court rulings have established that a woman has a right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb, around the 24th week of pregnancy, and 20-week limits in Arizona, Georgia and Idaho have been blocked by court orders.
The bill would require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility. Similar measures are being challenged in court in Alabama, Mississippi and North Dakota. The legislation would require clinics to meet surgical-center standards, mandating that abortions take place in hospital-style operating rooms even if nonsurgical procedures were being done, opponents of the bill said.
Mr. Perry has called the admitting privileges and provisions for ambulatory surgery standards "matters of common sense." Other Republicans have disputed predictions that the restrictions will lead to widespread clinic closures.
Opponents of the bill, hundreds of whom packed the Capitol in Austin and shouted "Shame!" after the preliminary predawn vote, argued that abortion providers already follow standard regulations and that the legislation would shutter all but 5 of the 42 facilities providing safe, legal abortions in Texas, including those run by Planned Parenthood as well as other entities. The Texas Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists opposed the measures.
The Legislature's 140-day regular session ended May 27, but Mr. Perry kept lawmakers in Austin after he called a 30-day special session, whose agenda only he, as governor, could set. On June 11, Mr. Perry added the abortion legislation to the roster. "The horrors of the national late-term abortion industry are continuing to come to light, one atrocity at a time," he said. "Sadly, some of those same atrocities happen in our own state."
Even if the legislation failed Tuesday, Mr. Perry could call another special session to have lawmakers take up the matter again.

Six-Horse "Tally Ho" Yellowstone Observation Coach, Yellowstone Park Transportation Company manufactured by the Abbot-Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire. This stagecoach features four interior forward-facing seats and one exterior rear seat. This vehicle would have also featured seats on the roof, but none survive on this Tally-Ho coach. The passenger compartment is secured to the undercarriage by original style leather thorough braces.The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company's roots date back to it's association with the Northern Pacific Railroad. In 1883 a stage line was created which ran from the Northern Pacific terminal in Cinnabar, Montana (later relocated at Gardiner, Montana) to and through Yellowstone Park. By 1886, the company had a fleet of sightseeing vehicles, which were painted bright yellow. The larger six-horse "Tally-Ho" stagecoaches transported visitors from the train depot to the hotel at Mammoth Hot Springs. Information taken from http://www.nps.gov.
Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop restored this historic Yellowstone Stagecoach for the city of Cozad, Nebraska.
This large touring coach was in very solid condition, but nneded a facelift to return it to its former glory.
This Tally-Ho Coach was originally used to transport tourists from the train depot to their lodging near Yellowstone Park.
Let us help you find the perfect vehicle.

Each mech hanger is designed to either bend or snap, to prevent any damage being done to the main body. It is always recommended to carry a spare derailleur hanger as they can bend or snap at any given time. Once snapped, the bike can't be ridden otherwise you'll cause more damage to the bike. All of our derailleur hangers have superior strength, amazing durability and great shifting. Which makes this your premium yet affordable upgrade from a standard cast hanger. Mech hanger 412 is no exception, offering reliability and reassurance to cyclists.

Jenny lost her brother Jeff when he was just shy of his 18th birthday.
She has experienced bereavement first hand at a young age, and it has affected the rest of her life. Jennifer Kaplan Schreiber (Jenny) is the Founder of Jeff's Place, a nonprofit organization in her brother's name that helps children, teens and their families through the grieving process and offers a bereavement center based in Wayland. Services are provided at no charge to participants.
"My brother died in 1983 and there was no support back then. We tried individual counseling right after his death, but it was not a good fit for either of us. We needed 'normalcy'. Back then, no one talked about death, especially when it was a child who died. It was a very isolating experience," recalls Jenny.
Jenny is not alone. She explained, "In the United States, approximately 2.5 million children, 3.5% of children under the age of 18, have experienced the death of parent. There is a huge need (for bereavement services)."
Eighteen year-old Allison is familiar with experiencing bereavement at a young age.
"Two years ago, I received a call from my dad's family in New York saying that he had a heart attack the night before and died instantly. I was sixteen. I was weak. I was lost..."
Allison was then introduced to Jeff's Place.
"Hope grows here," said Allison. "The hope that sprouts and grows at Jeff's Place is something that one takes away for life, holding onto it during those times of overwhelming exhaustion and loss of faith. Once our hope has grown, it can never wilt and fade away. It gets us up in the morning. It's what makes us go on."
Allison is now a Junior Facilitator at Jeff's Place, giving back to the center that gave her hope not so long ago.
Jeff's Place opened its doors in September 2010 and started out helping six grieving families. Since then, they have supported more than 40 bereaved children and families at their Wayland location.
"We truly appreciative the ongoing support the Foundation of MetroWest has provided our grassroots organization," said Jenny. "Without the Foundation's belief in our mission and model, we would not have been able to grow at the speed we have, which has enabled us to provide the highest quality services for bereaved children and their families in MetroWest."

An Englishman spending the winter here with his wife was knocked unconscious and tied up by two men who broke into the couple's beachfront condominium Monday and stole $25,000 in jewelry, police said.
The victim, George Browne, 66, was not seriously injured in the attack at the Point of Americas I Apartments, police said. The incident occurred in the 2100 block of South Ocean Lane about 12:30 p.m.
The Brownes were returning to their 14th-floor apartment after a shopping trip to find their front door would not open, said Detective Les Seaborn.
After his wife went to get a security guard, Browne tried the door again and was able to get in, Seaborn said.
But Browne was attacked by two men when he walked into the kitchen and was bound with a cord and a belt, Seaborn said. The attackers then fled, he said.

Smartwatch manufacturers are failing to secure sensitive data on their devices, warned a Trend Micro report.
The IT security firm said that smartwatches running Google's Android Wear and even the Apple Watch are not as secure as they should be.
The research looked at devices from Apple, Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sony, Asus and Pebble to see how they fared when it came to physical and information security.
The devices were updated to the latest operating system for the study and was paired with a related smartphone, such as an iPhone 5, Motorola X or Nexus 5.
Trend Micro said that physical device protection across all smartwatches was found to be poor, with no authentication via passwords or other means being enabled by default.
"This would enable free access if the wearable was stolen. All devices apart from the Apple Watch failed to contain a timeout function, meaning that passwords had to be activated by manually clicking a button," the report said.
It said the Apple Watch did better than Android or Pebble rivals, but contained the largest volume of sensitive data, so could potentially give away a lot of detail about the owner if stolen.
All the watches on test saved local copies of data, which could be accessed through the watch interface when taken out of range of the paired smartphone.
"This means that anyone who compromised the wearable would have access to this data. All of the devices stored unread notifications, except the Pebble, as well as fitness and calendar data," said the report.
"Across all of the smartwatches that were tested, it is clear that manufacturers have opted for convenience at the expense of security," said Bharat Mistry, cyber-security consultant at Trend Micro. "On the surface, a lack of authentication features can make devices appear easier to operate, but the risk of having personal and corporate data compromised is much too big of an issue to forget about."
Trend Micro said that manufacturers must ensure that simple security features, such as limited password attempts, are enabled on devices by default.
"This considerably reduces the likelihood of data breaches. Smartwatch manufacturers must be cognisant of the fact they can slash data breaches by employing this best practice," said Mistry.
Dr. Steven Furnell, senior member of the IEEE, told SC Magazine UK that even though smartwatches are typically companion devices to smartphones, they nonetheless end up storing data in their own right.
"So an unprotected watch could still reveal something business-relevant (schedules, messages, unread notifications etc)," he said.
"The ability to have some level of authentication on the smartwatch is clearly a valuable safeguard. Linked to this theme, the Trend Micro study mentions using the proximity of the smartwatch to act as an authenticator for the smartphone, which I think is a really bad idea," he added.
"I like the Apple Watch approach, where the watch can be set to lock when taken off the wrist, and where performing an explicit authentication on the phone can unlock it again. However, this does not work the other way around (i.e. the watch cannot unlock the phone), thereby recognising the phone as the primary asset."
Furnell added that as a baseline, organisations can protect themselves by ensuring that staff are made aware of the safeguards they need to use, and given guidance on how to use them.
Nicko van Someren, chief technology officer at Good Technology, told SC Magazine UK that many users are blindly adding their new watches to mobile devices that hold a wealth of corporate information, creating potential security vulnerability for their employers.
"With native mail and calendar applications sending alerts and notifications to the watch by default, even more devices will have access to corporate information, potentially putting more important data at risk. Industries, particularly those that are highly regulated, need to establish a policy that outlines which users are eligible, which devices can be supported and which mobile applications are acceptable," he said.
Van Someren added that one way to ensure enterprise data is secure on smartphones, tables and wearable devices is keeping it in separate, encrypted containers. "That can mean managing the flow of alerts to smart devices as well as controlling the flow of data between apps. Clear policy controls will mitigate the security risks that come with these new devices."
Mark James, security specialist at IT Security Firm ESET said that malware will be a big concern for smartwatches, along with compromised firmware versions and specific targeted attacks directed at the watch itself. "Then tag this with smartwatch specific apps, the security will need to be a very big feature of this desirable hardware. The bad guys will target any new potential market," he added.
Chris Camejo, director of Threat and Vulnerability Analysis at NTT Com Security, told SC Magazine UK that at this point smartwatches are too new and security researchers haven't torn into them yet. "We don't know how secure their communication protocols are, how much data ends up stored on the watch, how the data is secured within the watch, or if and implementation mistakes have weakened a system that should be more secure than it is," he said.
Camejo said that Apple's approach to security on the iPhone has had quite a bit of success. The closed platform, "walled garden" app store, rapid closing of jailbreaks and other security vulnerabilities, and overall software design have combined to make iPhones fairly resistant to attacks.
"The Android platform on the other hand is very fragmented and harder to patch consistently, the result is that most mobile malware affect Android but not Apple's iOS. It wouldn't be too far fetched to expect that the trend will continue with the Apple Watch being a more secure but more limiting platform while Android is wide open but exposes more vulnerabilities," added Camejo.
