Sam Western proposes -- covertly but clearly -- the Myth of Capitalism, with the hero being an entrepreneurial figure (like John Galt in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged) who, in a world of free enterprise, accrues staggering riches through his own sweat and cleverness. Through the Myth of Capitalism, the economist imagines a world of constant, unlimited growth in which affluence brings an ever-increasing amount of happiness to those who have the requisite qualities -- intelligence, shrewdness, fortitude and fearlessness. However, the heroic Capitalist is disconnected from the land, except to the extent that nature provides a source of raw materials for manufacturing wealth. As an economist, Western is frustrated that "collectively Wyoming struggles with the idea that people and their ideas, not natural resources, bring wealth." He seems to be saying that we need a Myth that is disassociated from a sense of place. But if the Grand Canyon, Death Valley and the Tetons are no longer necessary to the West's Myth, then how can the story be ours?
Donahue's alternative is more surreptitious than Western's. Her stated purpose is to demythologize the West, but what she is really proposing is a new Myth: Scientism. She contends that "the public and policymakers must look to ecologists, not myth marketers, for guidance in charting a course for the West's future." From the first-hand perspective of a scientist -- an insect ecologist, in particular -- I can assure you that science cannot provide the answers to the deep questions concerning what we ought to do with Western people and lands. Science is necessary, but it is not sufficient. And here's why.
In the Myth of Scientism, the hero is an absolutely objective, rational discoverer of unchanging physical truths (like Isaac Newton and the apple incident, which of course never happened -- but we know that Myths don't collapse under the weight of facts). The Scientist reveals how the world really is, not some fanciful tale replete with human desires. The problem, of course, is that according to this Myth, science is value-free. So the hero can offer no moral lessons regarding our treatment of one another or the land. Donahue believes that "although it may not be possible ever to 'demystify' the West totally, there are good economic and ecological reasons for trying." What she fails to see is that there are horrific cultural, and probably ecological, consequences if we succeed.
And so, with the West's economy suffering from chronic anemia (the current transfusion of mineral royalties in parts of Colorado and Wyoming notwithstanding) and its environment battered and bruised, the critics' proposed course of treatment is to bleed the patient, blaming the region's lifeblood for its problems. However, rather than draining the West of the Cowboy Myth, perhaps we could revitalize this worldview -- and in so doing ground our future in the virtues of our past.
L'Amour's Conagher exemplifies the Cowboy Myth, being a wonderfully typical and altogether unextraordinary tale. The title character is remarkable only in his being so characteristic of the Western's Mythic hero. What if the conflicting, even paradoxical, qualities of Conagher were taken seriously as a model for the people and politicians of the West (or, for that matter, our national leaders)?
Jehovah, the god of the Old Testament, was slow to anger, but extremely dangerous when crossed. He would have made a fine Cowboy. Consider Conagher: "He wanted trouble with no man, but he wasn't going to take any pushing around, either." When an opponent finally provokes Conagher to the breaking point, we are told that "he proceeded to beat him unmercifully with the swinging coil of rope." The Cowboy could have shot his enemy, but the man was unarmed. Proportional, not gratuitous, violence is how one responds to a "hard country," the dangerous world of the unsettled West. Make no mistake, Conagher is willing to kill. But only for a just cause. As he tells a widow's young son: "Some men take a sight of killing, boy. Just be sure that when killing time comes around that you're standing on the right side." And a just cause basically means protecting the innocent.
Conagher evinces compassion -- even tenderness -- for those who are vulnerable, including the son of a widow trying to make a life on the prairie. "Hell of a thing, he said to himself, leavin' a woman and two kids out there alone. But even as he said it he knew that many a man had no choice. You took your chances in this country; some of them paid off and some did not." Conagher treats the courageous but struggling woman with deep respect and the boy with paternal gentleness. Even a cowboy's enemies warrant a degree of compassion, as when in the midst of a shoot-out with cattle rustlers, our hero takes a gut-shot enemy into his cabin, saying, "I'll see no man suffer."
So, how would a man like Conagher respond to modern threats? In the face of a widening gap between rich and poor, in light of extractive industries' domination of local communities, in recognition of the declining physical and mental health of women and children, a Cowboy would aggressively protect the vulnerable. Conagher would abide no excuses from the methamphetamine addict, the delinquent youth, or the teenage mother -- but he'd not abandon them, either.

Product DescriptionWhen maneuverability, carrying ease and venison steaks are the order of the day, H&R's Ultra Light Slug Hunter with a portable 5-1/2 lb. frame, delivers outstanding, long-range accuracy. The Ultra Light Slug is unfailingly dependable, easy to carry, and exceptionally accurate out to the farthest reaches of shotgun range. Its 24" barrel features Ultragon Rifling, which uses six oval lands and grooves without sharp corners like traditional rifling to stabilize spin without distorting the sabot jacket or exterior of the slug, leading to a better gas seal, higher velocities, and more consistent flight characteristics. The pistol-grip stock has a Monte Carlo comb and sling swivel studs installed.

For the second time in five years, a former Toronto stock promoter has been banned from the securities industry by the Ontario Securities Commission.
Robert Patrick Zuk, who lives in Oakville, is prohibited from trading or acquiring any securities for 20 years for his role in what's known as an "advance-fee" scheme in the U.K., the OSC ruled following a brief hearing on Wednesday.
Zuk is also prohibited from becoming an officer or director of any public company, or acting as an investment fund manager for 20 years.
In addition, Zuk has been ordered to pay nearly $36,200 in disgorgement and received a reprimand from OSC commissioner Paulette Kennedy.
"I believe the range and magnitude of the sanctions speak for themselves," Kennedy said. "I expect this experience and the sanctions ordered against you will deter you and others from this type of activity in the future."
The allegations centre on the use of an Ontario bank account that was used to receive funds from investors in the United Kingdom, according to the agreed statement of facts in the case.
The funds were obtained using an "advance-fee" scheme operated by others, including David Pelcowitz, who represented a fictional company called Nest Acquisitions and Mergers, the OSC said.
The scheme spanned from Aug. 14, 2008 to April 8, 2009, according to the documents filed.
Nest representatives allegedly called U.K. investors and told them their company had lined up other investors who would buy their stocks for a substantial premium.
The U.K. residents were then told they would have to pay "performance bonds" and other advance-fees before Nest could complete the sale of the securities, the OSC alleges.
The Nest account received $366,000 from UK residents. No stock transactions were ever completed, according to the documents.
When funds were deposited in the Nest account, "Zuk withdrew the funds and provided [David] Pelcowitz the funds in cash less a fee paid to Zuk in compensation to Zuk for the use of the Nest Account," according to the documents.
Zuk was not a representative of Nest and did not communicate with U.K. investors, the OSC was told.
"It was done erroneously and without malice," Zuk said during the hearing, where he represented himself.
He added that his actions "had averse effects" on others, including his family.
The OSC issued allegations against Nest, IMG International Inc. Caroline Frayssignes, David Pelcowitz, Michael Smith, and Zuk in January, 2010.
Allegations against the other individuals are still outstanding. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
In 2007, Zuk was permanently banned from working in the securities industry for his role in a stock manipulation scheme at Visa Gold Explorations Inc.
Under terms of that deal, Zuk also agreed never to apply again for registration "in any capacity" under the province's securities laws, not to buy or sell securities directly or indirectly, or act as an officer or director of a public company for 15 years.

Robert JM Productions presents, Renfield, a chilling and bloody love story, Feb. 7-22 at The Boom Dinner Theatre. Written and directed by Robert Matson, Renfield, the bug eating lunatic, is taken from the pages of the horror novel, "Dracula" and set in present day with a boyfriend. "Having played Renfield, I was always fascinated by this "doomed" character. I wanted to give him another story in my own words and vision," says Robert Matson, "I'm excited to restage the show again, with most of the original cast. This time we're exploring the relationships with more depth, emotion, and passion but still keeping the bloody fun."
Renfield, has taken care of his Master, for over twenty years and is growing tired of it. When he finds love with Otto, the guy from the dry cleaners, Renfield asks for his freedom. He soon finds out there is a bloody price to pay for happily ever after. Scotty Taylor, a local OKC actor who has graced the stage with many of the local theatres, stars as Renfield . "I like playing Renfield for many reasons. He begins the show very naive and sheltered. Through the course of the story his eyes are opened up to a world he never knew existed before," says Scotty, "In the end he has to ultimately choose between his life and his one true love. Which one does he choose? You'll have to come and see."SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Renfield PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Quote:Patrick you're the second person I know with same problem on same mount. A faulty ST-4 was rule out when using the SX guiding software all work. On other threads out CN I found that was possible that a driver from the SX installation disk came without the proper driver that PHD needs. In my opinion contacting Terry at SX can be productive. Other failed try's was to install an older version of PHD. Good Luck
Quote:There are several drivers for SX cameras depending on Operating System and 32 or 64 bits:
Quote:I notice that the drivers are for USB 2.0 or 1.1. I've had my USB hub connected to a USB 3.0 port. Do you suppose that could make any difference? I can try hooking it up to one of the USB 2.0 ports to see if it makes a difference.
Quote: I should have mentioned, USB 3.0 didn't work for me. I had to plug into USB 2.0 port for PHD to work properly. I would also suggest removing hub from the equation. I think you are close to solving your problem. Thx
Quote:What computer, Operating System and is it 32 or 64 bits? If you have USB 3.0, it sounds like you have a new computer.
Quote:I will try plugging into the USB 2.0 port.

We continue with the American Heart Association's Simple 7 keys to living better, one of which I'm reminded every day when I take my Altace:
Manage blood pressure
Hypertension is the single most significant risk factor for heart disease. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because it has no symptoms. One in three adults has high blood pressure, yet, about 21 percent don't even know they have it. Of those with high blood pressure, 69 percent are receiving treatment, yet, only 45 percent have their blood pressure controlled.
What is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a widely misunderstood medical condition.
The blood running through your arteries flows with too much force and puts pressure on your arteries, stretching them past their healthy limit and causing microscopic tears. Our body then kicks into injury-healing mode to repair these tears with scar tissue. But unfortunately, the scar tissue traps plaque and white blood cells which can form into blockages, blood clots, and hardened, weakened arteries.
Why High Blood Pressure Matters?
High blood pressure is the single most significant risk factor for heart disease. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because it has no symptoms.
Blockages and blood clots mean less blood can get to our vital organs, and without blood, the tissue dies. That's why high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and even heart failure.

BS/MS Program
The BS/MS program is an early entrance into the MS program offered at Sage Graduate School. This program has been developed to meet the needs of students and clinical agencies in the northeast region. The program provides a sequence of courses to: 1) facilitate the progress of registered nurses who wish to obtain both a baccalaureate and a master's degree in nursing, and 2) increase the number of nurses who are prepared in advanced practice to help meet societal needs. A major advantage of this program is the application of up to 12 credits toward both degree requirements. Qualified students can obtain the MS degree in a shorter period of time. Candidates for the BS/MS program must have and maintain a 3.00 GPA in all undergraduate coursework and a 3.0 GPA in graduate work. Application to the BS/MS program is accomplished through the Sage Graduate School after successful completion of specified course work and upon recommendation of faculty of the Nursing Department. Evaluation for continuation in the program will occur after the completion of each semester of coursework.

The Centerville Police Department placed a minute amount of marijuana in a cell phone and planted it in plain site where Chief Demry had control and routinely sits at City Council meetings in City Hall.
The exercise was part of the department's introduction of its newest member, Boomer, a three-year-old drug sniffing golden retriever. Boomer, after a few seconds zeroed in on the phone and clearly identified where the illicit drugs were located.
Boomer cost the department $6,000 and that includes two weeks of training in Fort Dodge and outfitting a police car for the officer.
Centerville Police Office Jeremy Veach will handle Boomer.
Veach said Boomer batted 1,000 percent when asked to locate illegal drugs during his training in Fort Dodge, which means judges are more apt to issues warrants where drug sniffing dogs are needed.
Boomer will be cared for and live with officer Veach's family.
"I think we're very fortunate to have him," Centerville Police Chief Tom Demry said. "He's definitely a big asset to our department."

Four teenagers suffered injuries in a drive-by shooting early this morning in Conroe, and police believe it could be gang related.
Around 1:00 a.m., Conroe Police were dispatched to the 1200 block of Pleasant Drive. Witnesses at the scene told police two opposing groups had a verbal argument earlier in the night until one of the groups left. Witnesses say several members of the group who left previously showed up again with weapons and shot several rounds into the crowd of people outside.
Police were able to track down the vehicle where they found a handgun and arrested the only occupant. Only one victim remains the Conroe Regional Medical Center and is in stable condition.
Conroe Police believe all individuals involved at the scene are between the ages of 16-18. Names of the victims and the suspect have not been released.
