The Artist in Residence Series at Fort Lewis College may be one of the best things the college does for its students and the surrounding music loving community.
In my eyes, the FLC Music Department, Roshong Recital Hall and the Community Concert Hall are the most under-appreciated concert performance spaces in town. Many of the performances are jazz and classical styles that often attract niche audiences but the venues remain great outlets for off-campus music lovers of all types. The series is a feather in the cap for the music students, but also anyone else who wants to take advantage of hearing what the students are learning. Guest musicians, many of them professors, visit throughout the school year teach a class and give a performance. If youre a music-lover, youd be a fool to not take advantage.
The series began in 1995 when a small group tried promoting on-campus events to the locals. The artist-in-residence series is now governed by a committee that works with the faculty of the music department to select musician/teachers for the fall and winter semesters.
We work together to select artists who will benefit the community artistically, the students musically and pedagogically, and who will create a well-rounded and compelling program throughout the entire academic year, said Lisa Campi-Walters, an associate professor of piano. The concerts and classes most directly benefit the students of the music department but overall contribute to the cultural climate of the entire campus. It is extremely enriching for Fort Lewis College music students to be able to participate in master classes held by non-FLC associated artists; it broadens their experience and exposes them to a greater breadth of knowledge.
Sundays artist in residence is pianist Rebecca Penneys. She will give a recital Tuesday in Roshong Recital Hall then come back Wednesday to teach a free master class.
Prodigy is an apt term to describe Penneys and her career path. She has been performing as a soloist since she was in single digits. At age 11, she was playing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Special Critics Prize awarded at the Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw was created in her honor.
She currently splits her time between two East Coast states; she is artist in residence at St. Petersburg College in Florida and also serves as the musical director at a number of concert series throughout New York. Penneys also teaches at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., where Campi was her student.
For Penneys, teaching and performing cannot be separated.
I think music, performing and teaching go together, Penneys said last week from her home in New York. I would not be happy doing one without the other, thats for sure. Theyre different and very complementary at the same time.

The Fed in its fourth round of quantitative easing, or QE4, is now writing $85 billion of checks to buy Treasuries and mortgages every month, and there's really nothing backing those checks other than trust, writes Gross (left) in his January investment outlook, "Money for Nothin', Writing Checks for Free."
The future price tag of printing such checks is inflation and currency devaluation, Gross warns, while blaming the Fed's Dec. 12 decision to set rates based not on date targets but rather on specific unemployment and inflation rate levels.
Economic growth "now is to be measured each and every employment Friday via an unemployment rate thermostat set at 6.5%," Gross writes. "We at PIMCO would not argue with that objective. Yet we would caution, as Bernanke himself has cautioned, that there are negative consequences and that when central banks enter the cave of quantitative easing and 'essentially costless' electronic printing of money, there may be dragons."
Risks Are Long Term
Gross advises investors to be alert to the long-term inflationary risk of such check writing.
"While they are not likely to breathe fire in 2013, the inflationary dragons lurk in the 'out' years towards which long-term bond yields are measured," he writes. "You should avoid them and confine your maturities and bond durations to short/intermediate targets supported by Fed policies."
PIMCO's bond king is not alone in warning about inflation risks this January. Martin Feldstein, a Harvard professor and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ronald Reagan, writes in a Wednesday opinion for The Wall Street Journal that the Fed is creating dangerous asset-market bubbles that will lead to higher future inflation as well as "explosive growth" of the national debt.
"The day will come when aggregate demand is increasing, companies want to borrow, and the banks are willing to lend aggressively," Feldstein says. "When the increase in money starts to cause a rapid increase in prices, the Fed will need to limit the banks' credit creation by raising the interest rate it pays for banks to keep their reserves at the central bank. That is the 'exit strategy' that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and others are counting on to prevent future inflation. Unfortunately, no one knows how high rates will have to go to restrain the commercial banks." Dovish Fed
Even Fed officials worry that the current QE program may be going too far, according to a Bank of America-Merrill Lynch analysis of minutes released Friday by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
"About half of Fed officials expressed the view that QE could be scaled back or stopped during 2013," write the BofA-Merrill economists and rates strategists.
But this view is contingent upon a rebound in growth, and Fed growth forecasts have been "over-optimistic" in recent years, the BofA analysis says, while predicting that the FOMC's voters will be even more dovish in 2013 than in 2012.
If investors are worried about the specter of U.S. inflation, they need only look to other countries' monetary policies.
Mark Mobius, the Singapore-based executive chairman of the Templeton Emerging Markets Group, wrote in a blog post Wednesday that central banks could very well continue pumping money into emerging economies given the fragile state of many of the developed markets right now—and that could spell trouble for consumers in those countries.
"The flip side of the cash flood coin, of course, is the potential for inflation," Mobius writes. "In emerging economies, a larger percentage of the population is in lower income brackets, so price increases in essentials such as food and fuel can be harder to absorb."

Mary O'Brien can't look her students in the face, but that doesn't stop her from making an impression.
A faculty member at Scottsdale Community College since 1993, O'Brien has lived in Mancos for the last 11 years. All her courses on computer applications are taught via online correspondence.
According to her colleagues and students, she teaches them well.
O'Brien recently won an "Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Recognition" award from the Arizona-based Adjunct Faculty Association. Out of 437 applicants from 10 community colleges in the Phoenix metropolitan area, 135 made the first cut. Ultimately, after several more rounds of elimination, 24 professors were chosen for recognition.
"I am very honored," she said. "There (were) many applicants and I'm very pleased to have been honored in this way."
O'Brien specializes in software from the Adobe suite of programs - Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver - dealing with website and graphic design.
Instructing students remotely can be unorthodox.
"The online environment is challenging, both for them and for me," O'Brien said. "They have to be disciplined to complete their homework on a timely basis. I have to be disciplined to respond to student questions...and grade homework within the timeframe agreed upon in the syllabus."
Shelley Mowery, a web design student, appreciates O'Brien's demeanor and consistency: "She is enthusiastic and encouraging, which is a plus in any teacher. However, she is also organized and attentive, which is essential when teaching an online class, particularly one as involved as Photoshop."
Sheila Brandt, chair of the Computer Information Systems department at SCC, called O'Brien an "intelligent, articulate, passionate and diligent faculty member."
"She is the consummate professional," Brandt wrote in a letter recommending O'Brien for the award. "Always prepared, enthusiastic about and committed to teaching her students."

Rocky shores, UK
The UK's expansive coastline, which is well over 6,000 kilometres long, varies dramatically and presents a number of different rocky habitats, ranging from calm, sheltered coves and rocky beaches to tall, imposing cliffs. Within each of these rocky habitats the conditions are highly dynamic, due to the ever-changing tides (1) as well as additional environmental factors such as temperature and wind (2). Rocky shores are formed when waves erode softer rocks, leaving harder rocks exposed (3).

Special to the Herald
Did you miss Random Act of Kindness Week, Feb. 11-17? Never heard of it? Not to worry. In the spirit of paying it forward, there is no limitation in time or space for doing something out of the goodness of your heart, and without thought of remuneration or with expectation.
Some of us live a life built on this, and some of us need a mental Post-it note to consciously put ourselves out there for each other. No matter where we are in our lives right now, are there any of us who were not helped along the way by someone giving of themselves? We are comforted when we help others, giving back what has been freely given to us. The ripple effects of good deeds could never be fully known but may always be felt.
We can make an impression or change a life. Whether it is writing a check to a charity or nonprofit or pulling a strangers car out of the snow, weve made a difference. Something big, sometimes small, weve helped others on their way.
Most nonprofits exist to do this very thing. The people in your community working in human-service programs (and land-conservation programs and animal-rehabilitation programs and keeping-bears -out-of-garbage programs, etc.) make a difference. They believe in the work they do, the services they offer and the change they can manifest in the world, even if its just our little corner of it.
They dont make a lot of money, and they joke about the karma coins that (hopefully) are coming our way someday. Those in direct services see the success and failure firsthand. Those of us further removed can be contented in a job well done. Somewhere down the line, at the end of the day, we have made a difference in someones life.
This column is called Creating Community, and this is how we help do it. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, sometimes humbly (or not so humbly), we skip a stone of good intent into the obstacles and difficulties that make up human life and create ripples.
That is our hope. At United Way of Southwest Colorado and our partner agencies, we strive daily to be of service to our communities and those in need, and we encourage you to become involved.
We gladly would help you find a way to contribute your time, your talents and your heart. We have solid programs for your financial consideration and contribution.
This spring, United Way will begin the allocation process for funding 2014-15. If you would like to be a part of this process and learn firsthand the needs in our community, please call us to volunteer and join this committee.
A job well done, a life well lived, a random act of kindness and a desire to help: These are available to each of us every day. Truly, this is creating community.
Annie Satariano is director of community relations for United Way of Southwest Colorado. Reach her at 247-9444.

The Smyrna Finance Committee voted Nov. 14 to recommend Town Council approve a proposed 2013 budget that includes a two-cent tax increase per $100 of assessed value.
The recommendation came after three hours of back and forth talk on the 2013 budget. Town Council discussed a previous proposal without a tax increase at a Nov. 5 council meeting, but disagreed with the budget's inclusion of using funds from the Rainy Day Fund.
At the beginning of the Finance Committee meeting, the 2013 proposed budget included no tax increase but taking $510,000 from a general reserve fund and $289,000 from the Rainy Day Fund. Moreover, council members suggested including a $200,000 bucket truck and $150,000 Greens Branch electrical upgrade in the budget.
A rock and a hard place
Throughout the three hour meeting, it was noted several times that the projects and equipment included in the proposed budget were items very much needed in the town.
Town Manager Dave Hugg told the committee several of the items in the budget have been put off for years: "All we're doing is pushing things off."
Finding other ways to cut from the budget also came up. Hugg told the committee they can cut where they want to cut but if there's a snow storm or something breaks, he'll have to address the issue regardless.
"I can't tell you the costs literally until the end of the year numbers have gone through," Hugg said. "This is our best guess of what we'll probably spend."
Projects driving the revenue
As talks continued to get heated, committee member Anthony DeFeo said the committee needed to decided if the revenue would drive the projects or vice versa.
"It seems like projects are driving the revenue and it's leaving a bad taste," DeFeo said.
Since the committee didn't want to make any cuts, the discussion reverted to that of a tax increase.
The committee approved a motion to take $511,000 out of a general reserve fund but voted down a motion to take $289,000 from the Rainy Day Fund.
Not using the Rainy Day Fund would mean a possible 7.75-cent tax increase for the residents though, but the motion caused a 2-2 stalemate.
At this point, the $200,000 bucket truck was taken out of the budget.
Eventually, Hugg suggested the committee vote on a budget including taking $511,000 from the general reserve fund, a two-cent tax increase, and a spending restriction of $289,000 through March. He suggested this since the committee couldn't agree on using the Rainy Day Fund or a high tax increase.
The town will have their final numbers in by March and we'll also have a better sense of the economy by then, Hugg said.
"We can come back and we'll have a better sense of what the numbers look like," Hugg said.
The committee approved the suggestion 4-0.
After the fact, Mayor Pat Stombaugh wasn't happy with the proposed budget.
"I wish we could resolve this without a tax increase but there's stuff we've put off we truly need," Stombaugh said.
What's next?
Smyrna Town Council discuss, consider and possibly vote on the budget at their meeting Monday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at town hall.

Four second-year Monterey Institute students studying for a master's degree in Russian Translation and Interpretation received institutional support to travel to Kazakhstan this January for the Asian Winter Games. Immersive learning opportunities like those provided at large international events are invaluable to aspiring professional interpreters.
Simone Bonneville (MACI '11), Dana Skelton (MATI '11), Saltanat Yerbalatova (MACI '11), and Natalia Zoubko (MATLM and MATI '11) arrived in Kazakhstan ready to make the most of their time there. As it turned out, they could not have wished for better professional training circumstances. Due to budget constraints and perhaps some inexperience with language service planning, there was a shortage of professional interpreters at the games. The students "stood out immediately to the organizers due to their superior training and high level of proficiency," says Barry Slaughter Olsen, chair of the Conference Interpretation program at MIIS, and "they were given a role at many of the higher-level events and press conferences."
"This is an amazing experience," shares Simone Bonneville. "This is the first time that Kazakhstan is hosting an event on such an international scale. The Asian Games are on everyone's lips and Kazakhstan's medals are celebrated by all. Car horns blare, flags wave and everyone cheers 'Alga Kazakhstan!!'"

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
From DocWiki
This article describes how to use the COI (Cisco OpenStack Installer) to setup a working OpenStack cluster, which utilizes Nexus ToR switches in VLAN mode.
Setting up the Nexus switch
The following items need to be considered before proceeding with the Cisco Nexus Plugin deployment on the OpenStack Grizzly release.
- Your Nexus switch must be connected to a management network separate from the OpenStack data network. By default, we use the eth0 interface for this purpose. The plugin communicates with the switch over this network to set up your data flows.
- The switch must have SSH login and XML API enabled.
- Each compute host on the cloud should be connected to a port on the switch over a dedicated interface just for OpenStack data traffic. By default we use eth1 for this.
- The link from the node running the DHCP agent (by default, this is the OpenStack control node) should be a trunk link trunking all VLANs used for OpenStack traffic.
- Inter switch links should be trunk links trunking all VLANs.
Figure 1 Can be used to visualize the layout of the OpenStack compute nodes and the attached Nexus switches.
Figure 1:Nexus Plugin Diagram
Installing the COI Cache and Build Servers
Below are the manual install steps for creating a build server.
Perform an update/upgrade and install Puppet, Git and ipmitool on the freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS node:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install -y puppet git ipmitool
NOTE: The system may need to be restarted after applying the updates. Get the Cisco OpenStack Installer (COI) example manifests. Under the grizzly-manifests GitHub repository you will find different branches, so select the one that matches your topology plans most closely. In the following examples the multi-node branch will be used, which is likely the most common topology:
git clone –b multi-node https://github.com/CiscoSystems/grizzly-manifests cd ~/grizzly-manifests
With a proxy:
https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 git clone –b multi-node https://github.com/CiscoSystems/grizzly-manifests ~/grizzly-manifests/ cd ~/grizzly-manifests
Copy the puppet manifests from ~/grizzly-manifests/manifests/ to /etc/puppet/manifests/
cp ~/grizzly-manifests/manifests/* /etc/puppet/manifests
Copy the puppet templates from ~grizzly-manifests/templates/ to /etc/puppet/templates/
cp ~/grizzly-manifests/templates/* /etc/puppet/templates
Get the Cisco OpenStack Installer puppet modules from Cisco's GitHub repository:
(cd /etc/puppet/manifests; python /etc/puppet/manifests/puppet_modules.py)
With a proxy:
(cd /etc/puppet/manifests; http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 python /etc/puppet/manifests/puppet-modules.py)
Run the puppet manifest site.pp file routine.
IMPORTANT! You must copy site.pp.example to site.pp and then edit it as appropriate for your installation. It is internally documented.
cp /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp.example /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp vi /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
In addition to the basic site.pp modification for your environment, changes for the Nexus plugin needs to be made. Here are the items that may require customization in order to enable the use of the Nexus switch in VLAN mode. Other customizations for your site, such as host names, network address ranges, proxies and repositories are not explained here, but are documented as comments in the site.pp file. A few explanations follow the example:
$public_interface = 'eth0' $external_interface = 'eth1' $ovs_vlan_ranges = 'physnet1:500:600' $ovs_bridge_uplinks = ['br-eth1:eth1'] $ovs_bridge_mappings = ['physnet1:br-eth1'] $quantum_core_plugin = 'cisco' $cisco_vswitch_plugin = 'ovs' $cisco_nexus_plugin = 'nexus' $nexus_config = { '10.121.10.39' => { 'compute-server01' => '1/8', 'compute-server02' => '1/9' }, '10.121.10.40' => { 'compute-server03' => '1/10', 'compute-server04' => '1/11', 'compute-server05' => '1/12', } } $nexus_credentials = ['10.121.10.39/my_username/my_password', '10.121.10.40/my_username/my_password'] $tenant_network_type = 'vlan'
Before specifying the VLAN address ranges in the $ovs_vlan_ranges parameter, please log into the switch to confirm that the specified address range is indeed free to use. The $nexus_config value is mapped, where for each Nexus switch (here identified by their IP addresses 10.121.13.39 and 10.121.13.40) we define a further map, specifying by hostname the various OpenStack compute servers, which are attached to that switch, as well as the port on that switch, to which the eth1 interface of that compute server is connected. In $nexus_credentials we specify for each of the Nexus switches a username and password for a user with management credentials.
Example Nexus ToR Configuration
interface Ethernet1/1 description to N7k-agg-1 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 13,500-600 interface Ethernet1/2 description to N7k-agg-2 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 13,500-600 interface Ethernet1/5 description to control-server Management switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 13 speed 1000 interface Ethernet1/6 description to control-server Data switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 13,500-600 speed 1000 interface Ethernet1/7 description to compute-server01 Management switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 13 speed 1000 interface Ethernet1/8 description to compute-server01 Data switchport mode trunk speed 1000 interface mgmt0 ip address 10.121.10.39/24 vrf context management ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.121.10.1
The Nexus example configuration above has a trunk link configured to each upstream Nexus 7000 aggregation layer switch that includes the VLAN ranges that are defined in the site.pp (500-600). In this example the control node ("control-server") has two physical interfaces just like the compute nodes do. One for the management interface (VLAN 13) and the other for the data interface which is a trunk interface that is preconfigured with the same VLANs being used as the provider network ranges (500-600). This is needed if the DHCP agent is being deployed on the control server as it will need connectivity to assign address to instances on the compute nodes that are attached to VLANs 500-600. Also notice that the compute nodes have two physical interfaces and the data interface does not have a switchport trunk allowed command configured. This command will be implemented by the Cisco Nexus plugin when the first instance is launched for each VLAN defined in the site.pp file.
Quantum/Neutron Commands for Network/Subnet Creation
Create a provider network for VLAN 500. Name the network whatever you want (here we used "vlan500"). The provider network type is "vlan" which coincides with the site.pp entry $tenant_network_type = 'vlan'. The provider physical network is physnet1 on eth1 which was mapped in the site.pp entry $ovs_bridge_mappings = ['physnet1:br-eth1']. The provider segmentation id of "500" simply refers to VLAN 500 defined in the site.pp entry $ovs_vlan_ranges = 'physnet1:500:600'. Finally, we defined that this is an external network with an upstream router.
quantum net-create vlan500 --provider:network_type vlan --provider:physical_network physnet1 --provider:segmentation_id 500 --shared --router:external=True
Create a subnet for VLAN 500. Name the subnet whatever you want (here we used "subnet500"). Note: You don't have to actually enter a name for the subnet. Since our upstream aggregation layer switches are using HSRP (VRRP/GLBP are other options) and the addresses used on those switches are .1 = standby address, .2 = N7k-agg-1, .3 = N7k-agg-2, we need to create an allocation pool range that begins after those addresses. By default, the addresses for OpenStack use would begin at .1 and this would cause an IP address conflict. In this example we begin at .10 and end at .250 to account for any other management addresses that may be used. "vlan500" is the network name that we are attaching the subnet to. The subnet range is 192.168.250.0/24 and the DNS server address being assigned to the instances attached to the network is 10.121.12.10
quantum subnet-create --name subnet500 --allocation-pool start=192.168.250.10,end=192.168.250.250 vlan500 192.168.250.0/24 --dns_nameservers list=true 10.121.12.10
The Nexus Plugin in Action
The Nexus Top of Rack switch has been configured, the Quantum/Neutron network and subnet have been defined and after you launch an instance and attach it to the network, we can see that the Cisco Nexus plugin has used the $nexus_config and $nexus_credentials information to login to the Cisco Nexus switch and defined a VLAN 500 and modified the appropriate interface for that VLAN.
vlan 500 name q-500 interface Ethernet1/8 description to compute-server01 Data switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 500 speed 1000
All that is needed now is to continue configuring Quantum/Neutron networks and subnets and attached instances to those networks.
The Cisco Nexus switch configuration would be changed each time a new instance is created for a newly defined VLAN as the following example shows for VLAN 600:
vlan 500 name q-500 vlan 600 name q-600 interface Ethernet1/8 description to compute-server01 Data switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 500,600 speed 1000

text: ok, John. this is the correct way to hold a saw. Pay some Goddamn attention for once, will ya? either right handed or left handed. and you don't need eye or ear protection. it's boring and you can't hear the blade turning. when you go to cut wood, attack it with your foot holding it down like you're holding down a hippy. this saw is a Husqvarna 362 and is bad ass. the Swedes made good saws and good clogs. their hockey players are pretty good too, but nothing like Canadian players. Swedes won't fight either.

The Pratt Community College baseball and softball teams are having trouble finding any consistency in a spring where it seems more games have been postponed/rescheduled than played.
The Pratt Community College baseball and softball teams are having trouble finding any consistency in a spring where it seems more games have been postponed/rescheduled than played.
At Cowley County on Thursday, Beaver softball fell 11-4 and 7-0. In the opener, Brenda Novelo had a busy day at the plate, collecting two extra-base hits. She doubled in the second inning and homered in the fifth.
Raushell Baca was in the circle for PCC. Baca pitched six innings and allowed four earned runs, eight hits and three walks while striking out two.
After pushing across one run in the top of the third, Beavers faced just a 3-1 deficit. An RBI single by Sam Garrison gave Beavers life.
Three runs in the top of the fifth helped the Beavers close their deficit to 5-4. An RBI double by Garrison and a two-run home run by Novelo triggered the Beavers' comeback. The Tigers outscored Pratt 6-0 down the stretch, however, to take the game 11-4.
In the nightcap, Kelsie Lundgren reached base twice in the game for the Beavers—singling in the third inning. Other than that, the Beaver offense was quiet as Cowley prevailed 7-0.
Ely Ortega toed the rubber for the Beavers, allowing five earned runs, 11 hits and one walk while striking out none over six innings of work.
At 5-11 (0-2), the Lady Beavers will play Hutch Friday at Hesston in a rescheduled match. The contest was to have been played at Angood Field but continued wet field conditions prompted the move to a neutral site.
The Beavers baseball team was finally back in action Thursday taking on the Barton County Cougars to tip off their conference season. The Beavers fell short in both games, losing the first game 13-12 (seven innings) in heartbreaking fashion, and losing game two by a score of 10-7 (nine innings).
Game one was a wild one as the Beavers found themselves in a deep hole early, down 9-1 at the break of the second inning. As has been standard all season, the Beavers did not give up when the game looked out of hand early. They chipped away picking up 1 run in the bottom of the 2nd , 4 runs in the 3rd and another pair in the 4th to trail just 9-8.
Freshman righties Cameron Clements and Creighton Hoover combined to keep the Cougar offense at bay for four innings, giving PCC the chance they needed to get back into the game.
A 3-run dinger by Tanner Johnson and an RBI knock by Gaige Webster gave PCC a 12-9 lead going into the top of the 7th. (PCC was home team despite the game being played at Barton due to a wet field at Stanion.)
Defensive lapses were in large part responsible for allowing the Cougars to regain a 13-12 lead. In the bottom of 7, Pratt squandered a bases loaded, no out situation—and found themselves on the short end of a heartbreaking 13-12 decision.
In game two the Beavers tried to rally late, but could never get the lead, falling 10-7.
This brings PCC's overall record to 2-5 and their conference record to 0-2. The Beavers are back in action this weekend at Dodge City to play doubleheaders Fri. (4 p.m) and Sat. (12 p.m.)

The 12th annual Frozen Dead Guy Days is Friday through Sunday in downtown Nederland, with snow in the forecast.
"Dress Warm. Drive Careful," organizers said on the Frozen Dead Guy Days website Wednesday. "The show goes on … snow or shine."
The track of an approaching Pacific storm is not certain, but weather officials says heavy snow and blizzard conditions are possible Friday night and Saturday.
Nederland has a 90 percent of snow on Saturday, 60 percent Saturday night and only a slight chance Sunday, with temperatures below freezing each day, according to the National Weather Service.
The festival hours are Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The event draws more than 15,000 spectators to the mountain town of 1,500 each March for such events as a parade of hearses, frozen-turkey bowling, coffin races and a polar bear plunge into Nederland's reservoir, according to the schedule.
The festival celebrates the cryogenically preserved body of "Grandpa Bredo" Morstoel, who has been preserved in minus-60 degree dry ice in a Tuff Shed near Nederland since 1993.
He died in 1989 at age 89, and his Norwegian family preserved his body in hopes that technology will be developed to bring him back to life.
Tours of Grandpa's Tuff Shed also will be available.

Kick-Ass Style Inspired By Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence & More
Check out our favorites—and some of our picks inspired by their iconic style.
Obesity and Speed Destroyed Tee ($120) in Black
Let's face it. No matter what movie Jolie stars in, she just oozes notes of bad-assery. Tomb Raider, based on the popular video game, lets the actress' freak flag fly, as she balances the perfect distressed tees and short shorts with killer weaponry and espionage.
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Yellow Sneakers ($110)
Everybody was kung fu fighting, but not as hard as Thurman, who opened up a huge can of Quentin Tarantino-directed whoop ass in this violent drama. If a yellow bodysuit is a little too much for the office (hey, we're all for it if you can rock it), kick off your inhibitions with these yellow sneaks instead.
Christian Louboutin Chelita 85 Metal-Detailed Leather Boots ($1795) in Black
Jane Fonda, before your workout tapes and saving the world, you gave us the coolest chick around, Barbarella. Based on the comic book heroine, this cult classic film features a scantily-clad Fonda roaming the universe fighting bad guys—and teaching them about the futuristic birds and the bees. Not ready to take on the world in a bikini-inspired outfit? Try these luxe motorcycle boots instead.
Barbour Fuel Diamond Quilt Jacket ($279) in Black
Our generation's patron saint of heroine chic looks just as smokin' in her Games gear, like this fitted quilted jacket, as she does in her whimsical dresses that took The Capitol by fire—literally.
Jonathan Product Dry Dirt Texture Spray ($22)
Why is it that Luke Skywalker and Han Solo get all the attention when clearly Princess Leia was having the best time? The perfect white wardrobe, the perfect amount of attitude, and that perfect hair! Get your best buns and braids with this texture spray.
Heidi Klein Soleil Bandeau Bikini Top ($136) and Side Ring Bikini Briefs ($123) in White
With their multiple costume changes and their perfectly feathered hair, these Angels—who saved the day with their bikini-clad ninja moves—were oh so much cooler than Victoria's Secret's (sorry, models!). Even Bosley would agree.
Guess Diamond-Panel Brittney Mid-Rise Leggings ($138) in Red
Yes there was the movie, but really, the TV show is all that matters. Each week Buffy slayed vampires, monsters, and occasionally hearts (see: Angel, Riley, Spike)—and did a lot of it in leather, which is a feat in and of itself. But no matter how dark the show got, and believe us, season 6 was a doozy, Buffy always managed to add pops of color like these blood red (imagine that) pants to her wardrobe.
3.1 Phillip Lim Over The Knee Boots ($785) in Black
With her jet black hair and shy demeanor, the shrinking Violet really blossomed when she donned the red costumes alongside her superhero family. The power of invisibility and force field creating gave the heroine a dose of confidence—and a killer pair of over-the-knee boots.
Photo:Everett Collection
Lisa Marie Fernandez The Farrah Rubber Neoprene Swimsuit ($395) in Grey
Haven't we waited long enough for a female superhero to grace the big screen? Well Johannsen did it in a big way. Rocking a skin-tight suit that would make Catwoman purr, Black Widow stole the scenes from her fellow Avengers. Summering as a super hero? This neoprene swimsuit will knock 'em dead.
Maison Michel Heidi C Headband ($390) in Black
Although Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway did their best, not many people can rock a catsuit like Pfeiffer, who starred as Catwoman in the Tim Burton directed Batman Returns. (And looking at this pic, we can understand why not many people try.) This high fashion headpiece will certainly appeal to your inner feline fatale.
Charles Albert Alchemia Shine Cuff ($75) in Gold
Golden lasso? Check. Golden cuffs? Double check. There's a reason that no TV spinoff or movie adaption has ever been successful, and that, my friends is because none of them boast the iconic Lynda Carter in all of her patriotic glory.
Ben Amun Riveria Gold Hoop Earring ($130) in Gold
With her major seventies fashion moments, iconic gold hoops, and gorgeous hair, Foxy Brown was—and still is— the definition of super fly, not to mention the queen of Blaxploitation films. After all, how many people do you know that can save the day in a sexy dress?
Erdem Cat Eye Tortoiseshell Acetate and Metal Sunglasses ($400) in Blue
Leather is par for the course in The Matrix (maybe it's a hacker thing?), but futuristic signature sunglasses like this cat-eye pair is something that Moss made her own. With her slicked back bun and pale visage, Trinity seduced Neo, audiences, and fashionistas alike.
Jade Chiu Phoenix Ear Cuff ($147) in Silver
Mara's preparation for the Goth role of Lisbeth Salander in Dragon Tattoo is one of the most memorable transformations we've ever seen. And when she brought that style to the red carpet, the fashion and beauty worlds exploded with homages galore. Our favorite? The accessories, like this spiky ear cuff.
LME Masks Glossy Black Leather Eye Mask Super Hero ($32) in Black
Being young didn't stop this precocious teen from crowning herself a super hero and capturing villains. In fact, her take-no-prisoners attitude and fierce purple hair have made Moretz an unlikely role model for everyone, including us. Masquerade as a caped crusader at your next cocktail party with this awesome mask.
Photo:Everette Collection
Stella McCartney Iris Wool-Twill Blazer ($1295)
When President Clinton took office, Hillary Clinton made tailored pantsuits a thing, and Dana Scully, star of The X-Files, was fully committed to said fashion trend. We truly believe they even helped solve the mysterious cases she and her FBI partner Fox Mulder had to tackle. (Come on, if you can believe in the paranormal, you can believe this tailored blazer can change the world!)

Difference between revisions of "Utqiaġvik (Alaska)"
Revision as of 09:21, 7 February 2009
Barrow is a city located 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle on the Arctic Ocean in Arctic Alaska. The tiny village holds the distinction of being the northernmost settlement in the United States, and the northernmost settlement on the North American mainland. The residents are primarily of Inupiat ("eskimo") descent.
Get in
With the exception of an annual summer barge service, Barrow is a fly-in-only city.
By plane
Get around
By foot
Barrow is very small, and is actually a flat desert that almost never receives large amounts of snow. So it's easy to get around by foot even in the winter. During the colder months, you can walk directly across the frozen freshwater lagoons. Just bundle up and beware of the wind chill!
By taxi
There are several cab companies in town. They are always driving about, and can be flagged down easily. Rates vary between $5-$9 around Barrow proper and Browerville.
By car
UIC Car Rental, located near the Barrow Airport, provides car rentals. Availibility can be limited during peak times. 907-852-2700
By bus
The city bus runs during business hours most days and can be a good option for daily commutes. Visitors, however, will probably be happier taking cabs due to the convenience, as well as the fact that cab fare for a group of 2 or more people will end up being less money because the bus charges per person.
There are a number of decent restaurants in the Barrow/Browerville area. Expect to pay approximately $15-$20+ per meal at most restaurants.
Bars and Clubs

A night out with friends at the Rolla VFW resulted in a $25,002 Missouri Lottery prize for an Edgar Springs couple.
Kurt and Kristie Ross were enjoying good company and playing Club Keno on Jan. 10 at the VFW in Rolla when Kristie purchased a few Club Keno tickets throughout the evening.
She knew she won a little, but was pleasantly surprised with the $25,002 windfall when she scanned her tickets at the end of the night.
"I was like, 'What the heck, we'll play Keno while we're here,' " began Kurt. "This was the third ticket she bought. She bought one ticket and won $5 on it; played again, and won $10; and then played that again, and, well, ended up with this.
"We weren't watching numbers or anything, just let it play and, at the end, went and put it in the little scanner on the wall. I thought I was going to have to call the ambulance on her, she was so excited."
The couple claimed their winning ticket at the St. Louis Lottery office on Jan. 14 while Kurt, a project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, had business in St. Louis.
The couple planned to celebrate with a trip to a casino while in town. Beyond that, plans for the windfall include paying down debt and helping their children and grandchildren.
"It worked out just perfect for us," said Kurt. "We're going to pay down some credit cards from Christmas, and then give some money to our kids and put the rest in savings. We're going to keep playing Keno. Just spend your money wisely, and keep playing on a regular basis. For us, it was all luck."
Kurt concluded with a little advice for other players: "Don't take it serious, and have fun at it and enjoy it when you do win."
Club Keno is a daily draw game with drawings every four minutes. Players decide how many numbers, also called spots, to play and win prizes based on the number of matches with the 20 winning numbers drawn.
The couple hit nine out of 10 spots with bulls-eye to win the $25,000 prize. Another play on the same ticket won $2, adding to the total prize amount claimed of $25,002.

Declaring you are "going gluten-free" these days will get you one of two reactions: An understanding nod and/or solidarity, or an eye roll. Both responses are equally warranted (though not equally appreciated) considering removing gluten from one's diet has become the nutrition fad du jour.
The thing is, though, that a large and growing portion of the Canadian population isn't just nixing gluten for the sake of dropping a few pounds or clearing up their complexion (though those are a couple of the lovely side-effects that are sometimes reported). Recent estimates indicate that one in every 133 Canadians suffer from celiac disease, an autoimmune disease in which the surface of the small intestine that absorbs nutrients from food is damaged and often results in the development of other serious ailments if not treated correctly.
Beyond the stats on celiac disease, a piece in the September 2013 issue of Maclean's magazine claimed that somewhere between 300,000 and two million Canadians suffer from the more difficult to diagnose condition of gluten sensitivity and that there are currently about 7 million gluten-avoidant people in the country today.
There's no denying that the last few years have seen a major societal shift towards gluten and/or grain-free lifestyles. The question is whether those who opt out of gluten-consumption when they don't have a legitimate intolerance are just jumping on a bandwagon that will find them filling up on unhealthy fillers, or whether there universal health advantages they might enjoy.
Dr. Bruce Hoffman, the founder of Calgary's Hoffman Centre for Integrative Medicine thinks the growing incidence of celiac disease and gluten-intolerance is the result of the grains we eat today bearing little resemblance to their original genetics. "Today's grains, thanks to modern bioengineering, contain up to 40 times more gluten than grains cultivated just a few decades ago, " he says. Hoffman isn't referring to those grains genetically modified in a laboratory, but rather those that have been cross-bred for certain traits that he says have increased the gluten content of grains.
"The average American eats 133 pounds of wheat per year and this wheat bears no genetic, structural or chemical likeness to the grains that were occasionally ingested by our ancestors. As a result of attempts to increase grain yields and to make wheat more 'chewy,' we are challenging our physiology way beyond what we are genetically endowed to cope with."
Now back to the not-so-subtle eye rolling reaction that too often occurs while discussing one's gluten-free lifestyle with friends or informing a waitress in a restaurant of your condition or preference. Hoffman takes a respectful stance to the backlash that is currently emerging against the gluten-free movement, saying there are many points of view to consider. The urges people to consider the source of their information.
"In my opinion, having treated thousands of individuals with a multitude of clinical problems, the biggest clinical response I ever achieve is with modification of the standard North American diet," he says. "Of those interventions, the intervention that often has the biggest impact is the removal of grains from the diet. The proof is literally in the pudding. Anybody with vague intestinal symptoms, or symptoms that don't respond to known interventions should attempt a grain-free (plus processed food, sugar and dairy free) diet for a certain period of time. The results are often astonishing."
The problem, however, is that there are no tests to prove that a patient may be suffering from a gluten sensitivity. The best way to test the idea is by practicing an elimination diet. For many, it comes down to trial and error and gauging how they are feeling.
But while Hoffman believes most people's health can benefit from removing gluten from their daily diet, Registered Dietician Emily Mardell, of Edmonton's Food First Nutrition Consulting takes a different stance when counselling her clients. According to Mardell, a gluten-free diet isn't necessarily a healthy one if you don't need to be on it. "There's no evidence that following a gluten-free diet will promote weight loss or offer any health benefit beyond helping gluten-sensitive people," she says of the growing trend. Mardell also cautions that since wheat bran is off limits, most gluten-free eaters are lacking fibre. To counteract this, she suggests adding two tablespoons of ground flaxseed, as well as legumes and lentils to your daily meals. "Eating at least three fruit servings and four vegetable servings every day will boost your fibre intake, too."
Both Hoffman and Mardell agree that one of the unfortunate side-effects of the rapid growth of the gluten-free movement is the quick adaption of the convenience food industry marketing "new and improved" versions of their products as healthy choices.
"We now have big business jumping on the band wagon making ridiculous substitutes such as Tim Horton's gluten-free coconut macaroons, Domino's pizzas with a gluten-free crust and Betty Crocker selling cakes mixes that are free of gluten," Hoffman explains. "Gluten-free products are now a $90-million enterprise in Canada alone. In the US, the market is claimed to be $4.2 billion and climbing. This is big business."
The truth is that a gluten-free product is not necessarily any more healthy than the wheat-based original. Sometimes they are worse. Sure they won't cause a person with celiac disease to have a reaction, but many of these foods are devoid of necessary vitamins, minerals or fibre and are made with substitute starches like rice and tapioca flour which have very little nutritional value. Mardell also notes that a quick comparison of nutrition labels will reveal that gluten-free products are often higher in calories, carbohydrates and sodium than those made with wheat flours.
Both experts concur that eating a pizza—be it gluten-free or gluten-filled—is never going to help someone achieve optimal health. Processed foods are still processed foods. Celiac or not, there's still no way to have your gluten-free cake and eat it too.

Drybrush was a tool old time animators sometimes used for speed effects. Here Clampett took it as far as possible and made a joke of it.
You had to be a really good inker to pull this off.
The effects style of many old cartoons were designed to match the medium, to look cartoony and appropriate to the graphic style.
Today we have major studios competing to see who can have the most realistic backgrounds and the most realistic film effects. (It's actually an imitation of the blurs that film creates when an object is moving too fast to photograph clearly. It's not realistic at all.)Why you would want "realistic" effects in a cartoon is one of the mysteries of the ages anyway.
Here's a carefully animated subtle scene of Bugs Bunny talking to a man's buttocks.
Note the hard-to-draw tilt of his head below. Here's where your toy construction! studies will come in handy.
http://www.cartoonthrills.org/blog/Clampett/WackyWabbit/drybrush02small.movThe animation is really great too. You can actually feel Elmer's weight bouncing around, even though it's all a blur. Go through the clip in slow motion and be amazed at the skill.

ZELIENOPLE — A young woman, who was three months pregnant, was killed and her fiancee critically injured Monday afternoon when their car collided with a tractor-trailer on Route 68, authorities said.
The fatal crash happened on the same sharp bend in the road where other wrecks, some deadly, have occurred over the years.
In a cruel twist, the state Department of Transportation is to begin a project to rebuild the curve to reduce the number of crashes there, said Zelienople Police Chief Jim Miller.
Killed in the latest wreck on Route 68 at Ben Venue Road was 19-year-old Alyssa McKee of Baden, Beaver County.
Police said McKee was driving east about 1:40 p.m. when her Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a westbound tractor-trailer collided.
"It was a driver side versus driver side collision," Miller said.
The car was forced into a guardrail on the eastbound berm.
The tractor-trailer driven by Ronald Gross, 55, of Boyertown, Berks County, traveled another 40 yards after the collision and stopped in the middle of the road. He was not injured.
Zelienople and Harmony volunteer firefighters needed 25 to 30 minutes to cut open the car and reach McKee, who was trapped.
Her fiancee, Kevin Snyder, 21, of New Brighton, Beaver County, a passenger, suffered severe injuries, police said. Both were taken to Pittsburgh hospitals.
McKee, a student at Clarion University of Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at Mercy Hospital at 5:08 p.m.
Snyder was in critical condition this morning at Allegheny General Hospital.
State police assisted Zelienople police with the accident reconstruction investigation that closed the road for more than five hours.
Weather, he admitted, might have been a factor.
"It was raining before the accident, then it stopped," he said. "When we got to the scene, it wasn't raining but the road was wet."
He noted, too, that the same stretch of road has seen more than its share of crashes.
"It has an odd weird angle right there, where this happened," Miller said. "It can get dangerous when the road gets a little wet or icy."

"Easy, easy, easy"
By Cindy from Clearwater, FL
First, I love this website. Shopping and ordering is very easy and with the free sample feature, you can't go wrong. Second, I ordered this product and it is everything I hoped it would be. It is good quality and made perfectly to my specifications. There was a question about the location of the up/down cords (they couldn't do what I wanted) so I rec'd a phone call from a rep explaining the situation and we resolved it over the phone to my satisfaction. I was pleased they called me for my approval. Third, these blinds were so easy to install. It only took about 20 minutes and they fit perfectly in my window and look beautiful. I highly recommend Blingsgalore and plan on ordering from them again. Easy shopping, easy ordering, easy installation! I have only one tiny criticism of the website, and that is that you cannot search by color. That would greatly help me for my next order as I want a specific color and I've had to slog through lots of products to see if it's available.View this product

CNN Appearance and More Great Sky Photos
I will be on CNN Newsroom Sunday on Sunday August 24, 2008 during their Faces of Faith segment at 7AM. I don't imagine they're gonna do the whole show just on me. So I'll be on sometime around 7-ish. I also don't know if that's 7AM throughout the country or just 7AM Eastern Standard Time, which'd make it 6 Central, 5 Mountain and 4 over here on the West Coast. Maybe they have some system in place so that it runs at 7 across the country. Check your local listings as they say. I don't have cable TV so I won't see this myself. If anyone can tape it for me that'd be really sweet.
The show tapes at 9AM on Saturday, which means I'll be late for zazen at Hill Street Center. But I got people taking care of that and I will be there after the interview is done. Oh! And pleeeease don't just show up for zazen tomorrow without notifying us first (see link to your left). Drop ins are fine at the normal Saturday morning zazen things. But once a month we do an all-day thing with an oryoki meal. If you just drop in on those days we can't guarantee you'll get fed.
I have no idea what the CNN people ask or what I'll say. I'm hoping it isn't the same old thing as always. But given that this will be an introduction for most viewers, I imagine I'll end up doing the usual, "I was into punk and then I found out Zen was more punk than punk" thing.
Maybe I can get a plug in for my third book which, I've just been told, will hit the shelves of a bookstore near you in February, 2009. New World Library is, once again, my publisher. It'll be called Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate. It's a chronicle of the year 2007 in which my mom died, my grandma died, I lost my job, my wife decided she didn't wanna be my wife anymore, I did a million talks about Zen all over the country, sat a bunch of sesshins, smoked pot for the first time in twenty-odd years (and hated it), got attacked in public by some of my so-called "Dharma Brothers," plus did a couple other naughty things I'm not even gonna go into here. The moral of the story? Well, you'll just have to get the book to find out. I'm just writing this to whet your appetite. Like I told you, I won't whore out Zen but I'll whore out myself as a writer like nobody's business. Anyway, I just figured if someone was gonna write a Shoes Outside the Door about me, it was damn well going to be me. Not you.
I've read all those books too, y'know. Even Natalie Goldberg's The Great Failure: My Unexpected Path to Truth. Katagiri Roshi had sex!! Oh. My. God. The Dharma is ruined! Ugh! I agree it's high time we thoroughly trashed the image of the Eastern holy person. In case you don't think anybody buys that shit anymore here's a link to a story you should read. The easiest way to trash the idea of the infallible incarnation of God on Earth was to trash myself. If you can read this book and still believe Brad's a guru there's no hope for you. I hope that a few readers will draw the inference that it's not just me I'm talking about and that maybe there are no spiritual supermen at all and never ever were. Never. Nobody. But I'm guessing the majority will just think it's all about how I, personally, am not The Guy and won't give up their quest for the ever and always elusive True Holy Man with divine light shining out his lotus asshole. Good luck.
Speaking of which, I got an e-mail just the other day asking me:
Your Sengawa Bridge experience......
I know it doesn't matter, but what does it mean? What IS it?
Your Universe glimpse....
Again... what IS it?
Is the Universe the delusional one, and the Sengawa the glimpse? Are you able to understand them better now, or perhaps tell them apart?
This is a reference to some stuff I wrote in my first book, Hardcore Zen (link on your left). I get asked about this a lot. But the answer is stated in the question: it doesn't matter.
Look. Anyone can tell you a pretty story and say they had Enlightenment. Anyone. Even me. Stories are just stories. Story-tellers are just story-tellers. J.R.R. Tolkien could make you believe in Middle Earth. Doesn't mean you can go there. And you can't go any of the places your favorite "spiritual" authors describe to you either. If you do, it only proves you've entered their imaginations. So what? A journey to the Fourth Level of the Bardo (or whatever) that sounds just like the one in the Tibetan Book of the Dead is no more real than a journey to Middle Earth for a chat with Bilbo Baggins.
Don't believe what you read. I try to write as honestly as I possibly can. But the act of describing something is always the act of lying about it. Can't be any other way.
As for "what IS it," it's a story in a book. Both of them. That's all.
P.S. So are all the stories in all the other books.
Rock on.
