Fort Stikine
Fort Stikine was a fur trade post and fortification in what is now the Alaska Panhandle, at the site of the present-day of Wrangell, Alaska, United States. Originally built as the Redoubt San Dionisio or Redoubt Saint Dionysius (Russian: Форт or Редут Святого Дионисия, r Fort or Redut Svyataya Dionisiya) in 1834, the site was transferred to the British-owned Hudson's Bay Company as part of a lease signed in the region in 1838, and renamed Fort Stikine when turned into a Hudson's Bay Company post in 1839. The post was closed and decommissioned by 1843 but the name remained for the large village of the Stikine people which had grown around it, becoming known as Shakesville in reference to its ruling Chief Shakes by the 1860s. With the Alaska Purchase of 1867, the fortification became occupied by the US Army and was renamed Fort Wrangel, a reference to Baron von Wrangel, who had been Governor of Russian America when the fort was founded. The site today is now part of the city of Wrangell.

By a decree of Emperor Paul I known as the Ukase of 1799, the Russian Empire had in 1799 asserted ownership of the Pacific coast and adjoining lands of North America as far south as the 55th degree of latitude, with Novo-Arkhangelsk, today's Sitka, Alaska, founded shortly thereafter. In 1821, Emperor Alexander issued another ukase which extended the Russian claim south to 51 degrees north, also forbidding foreign vessels from approaching within 100 Italian miles of any Russian settlement.[1] Other powers protested and the line was withdrawn to "the line of the Emperor Paul", 55 degrees north, with parallel treaties with the United States and Great Britain (in 1824 and 1825 respectively) adjusting that southwards slightly to 54 degrees 40 minutes north so as to include all of Prince of Wales Island within Russian territory.
Redoubt Saint Dionysius[edit]
Under the Russo-British Treaty of 1825 (Treaty of St. Petersburg) establishing that boundary, and also establishing a land boundary northwards following the summit of the mountains, ten marine leagues from the coast, British rights to the Interior were guaranteed by Russia, along with the right of navigation of the Taku and Stikine Rivers, which were (and largely still are) the only access to those regions of what is now northern British Columbia. In 1833 Peter Skene Ogden went up the Stikine on reconnaissance and found the river too shallow for the HBC's sailing vessels. In 1834, under orders from John McLoughlin, Chief Factor of the Columbia Department of the HBC, based at Fort Vancouver, Ogden returned on the brig Dryad with the mission of establishing trade and a fort in the Stikine hinterland.[2] The expedition was met with armed opposition from the Russian-American Company, under Baron Wrangel's orders, near the river's mouth. During the ensuing confrontation and what would become a naval standoff, with the ships Chichagof and Orel dispatched from Sitka, Ogden and his men were driven off and Hudson's Bay Company stores, intended for trade and the establishment of the upriver post, were seized. Captain Lieutenant Dionysius Zarembo, commander of the Chichagof, under further orders, established a fortification on Zarembo Island which was named the Redoubt Saint Dionysius, also known as the Redoubt San Dionisio, to prevent further British attempts at access to the Stikine, control of which was seen to be contrary to the interests of the local fur trade on which Sitka depended.
Anglo-Russian Convention of 1838[edit]
When news of the confrontation reached Fort Vancouver, McLoughlin was outraged and quickly sent word to company HQ in London. In the ensuing diplomatic confrontation, resulting from Britain pressing indemnities on Russia for damages relating to the seizure and actions contrary to the treaty of 1825, Baron von Wrangel was forced out of office in disgrace because of the great cost in both money and prestige to the Empire. A treaty signed in 1838, known as the Anglo-Russian Convention, paid out a negotiated indemnity to Great Britain and also established the British right to build and maintain posts at the mouths of the Taku and Stikine as well as established a lease of the mainland and adjoining islands - the lisière from Cross Sound south to 54 degrees 40 minutes north.[3] In return for this lease, Britain would supply so many furs per annum to the Russian-American Company. Also included in the arrangement was an extension and expansion of shipments of vegetable, dairy and meat produce from the settlements of the HBC at Forts Langley, Nisqually and Vancouver (see Pugets Sound Agricultural Company).
Establishment of Fort Stikine[edit]
The following year, in 1839, James Douglas, later to be Chief Factor himself and also Governor of both Vancouver Island and British Columbia colonies, was sent north by McLoughlin to establish "Fort Stickeen" and what was formally called Fort Durham, but usually known as Fort Taku, or just Taku, under various spellings. Confrontations with the local group of Tlingit, the Shtakeen Kwaan ("Stikine Tribe") under Chief Shakes, near whose ceremonial clan house the fort had been erected, concderning control of the fur trade of the Stikine Country, led to the relocation of the principal village of that tribe to the location of the fort, and agreements with Shakes regarding control of trade in relation to other Tlingit groups and the inland Athapaskan peoples (the Tahltan, primarily) with whom the Stikines had long-standing agreements. Still, other tribes including the Haida, Nisga'a and Tsimshian traded at the post, with complicated consequences.
Fort Stikine and the slave trade[edit]
Much to the chagrin and horror of the company staff in charge of the post, the logistics of the fur trade resulted in an unexpected effect - an escalation of the slave trade by the Haida and Tlingits, with an accompanying rise in warfare and raiding against southern tribes (and each other) to provide goods for the purchase of furs to re-sell to the Hudson's Bay post. This, and the declining price of furs, and also the viability of the local supply, led to a decision by the company's Governor Simpson, after an 1841 visit, to close the northern posts, plus Fort McLoughlin farther south (near today's Bella Bella, to consolidate northern operations at Fort Simpson, located first near the mouth of the Nass, then at a more strategic location near today's Prince Rupert, off the mouth of the Skeena (today's Lax Kw'alaams).
Death of John McLoughlin, Jr.[edit]
The second Chief Trader appointed to Fort Stikine was the son of Chief Factor McLoughlin, John McLoughlin, Jr.. Unsuited to the appointment, the younger McLoughlin was unpopular with some of the Metis among the staff, who killed him in what was alleged by them to have been in self-defense at his drunken rage. Kanaka (Hawaiian) employees who witnessed the killing were to testify otherwise, and to allege that the rebel staff, led by one Urbain Heroux, had conspired with the local Tlingits to seize the post. Because the murder had happened on ostensibly Russian soil, the usual laws governing the Company and its staff, which were those of the Colony of Canada where the company's North American headquarters were, Heroux and the others were taken to Sitka for trial, and were ultimately released for lack of evidence. Governor Simpson, on his visit to the Russian American capital, was surprised to encounter Heroux at liberty on the streets of that town, but under Russian law the accused were free until convicted. Heroux was to live out his life in the Columbia District, but John Jr.'s death was said to be one of the factors embittering his father against the Company and his increasing sentiments and actions in favour of the American claim to what was becoming known as the Oregon Country.
Shakesville and Buck Choquette[edit]
In the company's absence, Chief Shakes took control of the post and of the Stikine River trade. Discovery of gold in the Queen Charlotte Islands in 1850, and then in the Thompson Country and Fraser Canyon in the later 1850s, led to wider encroachments and exploration by whites far beyond the locus of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858-1861. One intrepid adventurer, Alexander "Buck" Choquette, originally from Quebec and who had been in the California goldfields, had already explored in the area of the Nass and other rivers between there and the Stikine. Equipped with an acquired proficiency in the Chinook Jargon, Choquette was at Fort Victoria when he met some of Shakes' people and persuaded them to bring him with them to the Stikine and what was left of Fort Stikine, which had by then become known as Shakesville (though still also referred to as Fort Stikine despite the absence of a formal post or a Chief Trader). Choquette was to earn the respect of Shakes and also the hand of his daughter Georgiana (or Georgie) as his wife, with the marriage consecrated according to the elaborate ceremonials of Tlingit custom.
Stikine Gold Rush[edit]
In the spring of 1861, Choquette set out on a canoe trip up the Stikine with his wife and ten warriors of the Stikines to prospect for gold, discovering it at what has been known as Buck Bar since, just southwest of Telegraph Creek (the gold-rush settlement at Telegraph Creek was, in fact, known as Buck's Bar until the construction era of the unfinished Collins Overland Telegraph). When word of Choquette's discovery reached the other goldfields and the colonial capitals, the Stikine Gold Rush was launched and hordes of men sought out the Stikine, with Fort Stikine aka Shakesville become an important port-of-call for steamboats now bound for the river's many gold-bearing bars. In response to the influx of miners, most of them (but not all) American, Governor Douglas decreed the creation of the Stikine Territory, covering the lands inland from Russian American between the line of the Nass and Finlay Rivers north to the 62nd parallel to prevent American feared American annexation of the region, just as he had created the Colony of British Columbia in similar circumstances and had witnessed the loss of the Oregon Country to American settlers previously.
Experienced from goldfields elsewhere, Choquette knew more money was to be made in provision of goods and supplies to the miner than in the workings themselves, and obtained rights to sell Hudson's Bay Company wares both at his upriver post and at a revived trading post at Shakesville.[4] Choquette was to maintain this post in an uneasy relationship with the Hudson's Bay Company, as well as his store upriver, which relocated at various times depending on fluctuations in the activity of the rush.
Although exploration and some mining continued, the rush was well over by 1867, when the United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire. Despite the profitability of American trade and a wider range of goods, Choquette was faced with the decision of retaining the Hudson's Bay Company license and the freedom from American taxation that came with it by moving to just within British territory, which is to say, ten marine leagues upriver (approximately 30 km). Choosing a site opposite the Great Glacier, Choquette opened another store near the confluence of what became known as the Choquette River near the Stikine Hot Springs (see also Boundary Range). In time, Choquette would be given charge of a customs post and Hudson's Bay outlet, though opted eventually to remain at his preferred location, which he named Ice Mountain (his name for the Great Glacier).
Fort Wrangel[edit]
With Choquette's departure, and the British flag with him, which had flown over his store at Shakesville, American troops took over the old fortification of Fort Stikine, renaming it Fort Wrangel. It was the second US Army post established in Alaska, the first being Fort Tongass on Tongass Island, immediately north of 54°40′, but which was abandoned by 1870 as being of little real strategic or commercial value, as it was Fort Wrangel which controlled the main access inland and was therefore more viable as a customs port for the region, and Britain had shown no signs of military support for the claims that British Columbia had been making for its rights to the leased portion of the Panhandle, which had in any case been overtaken by American fishing, cannery and mining operations in the immediate aftermath of the Purchase.
Fort Wrangel again became a source of tension between American and British authorities in the region when more gold was discovered near Dease Lake in 1870, leading to the Cassiar Gold Rush of 1871. Once again thousands of miners poured into and through Fort Wrangel, and the US authorities attempted to exert control over British-registered shipping heading for the Stikine. A compromise was reached, and the confrontation derailed and prevented from escalating into warfare over the region. After the Cassiar rush was over, Fort Wrangel remained as one of the main US military installations in the region, and was again to play a strategic as well as a commercial role in relation to the Stikine's use as one of the lesser routes to the Klondike from 1897 and the mounting tensions of the Alaska Boundary Dispute, which was resolved by arbitration in 1903.

Hi. I joined the news team in 2008 as a multimedia journalist. I enjoy every aspect of it from the storytelling to the investigations as I get the opportunity to shoot, script, edit, broadcast and package stories.
Born and raised in Van Wert, Ohio, I began my journey into journalism while in high school with a Television Production Curriculum. While attending Wright State University, I worked at WERT Radio. Since then, I've worked in radio as a news director, anchor, reporter, talk show host, station engineer and advertising sales representative. This experience helped me hone my reporting skills as I've interviewed everyone from former presidential candidates and other major political figures to nationally known sports figures, artists and writers.
My TV journalism career began in 1997 at WANE TV, Fort Wayne IN, where I worked as an Assignment Editor. I spent nine years planning and executing news team coverage. When I wasn't manning the assignment desk, you would find me voicing a commercial or PSA, as I was also the stations announcer.
Documenting events has always been a strong passion of mine and over the years I've covered just about every story imaginable. In November 2002, I witnessed an F- 4 tornado hit my hometown of Van Wert. My home video aired across the US and became part of one of Ohio's most well-documented tornados of all time.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife Lori and our two dogs, Buddy and Monroe.
It's my goal to keep viewers informed so feel free to share your story ideas by sending me an email.

P&O Cruises has just taken £200 off the cost of a 12-night cruise to Madeira, the Canary Islands and Lisbon. The price is now £749 per person, including all meals and snacks.
The deal is to sail from Southampton on 1 September aboard Ventura, which the Daily Mail praises for its "uniquely British charm". The price includes full-board accommodation in an Inside Cabin, plus daytime activities and evening entertainment.
Upgraded cabins are also very good value and offer even larger discounts. Outside Cabins are available from £100 more per person (saving £230). Click here for more information.
Facilities on board Ventura include a spa, four pools, a gym, a 3D cinema and a show lounge. In its review of the ship, The Daily Telegraph says: "The cuisine was a real highlight -- varied and delicious, with different menus each night and wonderfully attentive waiters in the three silver-service restaurants." Meals are included at the Bay Tree, Cinnamon and Saffron à la carte restaurants and at the Waterside buffet restaurant. You can dine at The White Room, a speciality restaurant by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, for a supplement.
The ship's first port of call is Funchal (Madeira), where guests will be able to discover the Jardim Botânico and its orchid garden and 50,000 plants. The ship then sails to the Canaries, with stops in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote.
Following the three Canary Island stops, Ventura starts its journey back to Southampton with a stop in Lisbon along the way.

The wind, the sun and wildlife have worked alongside Charlie Livio and his partner Jerry Allyn to create a private retreat, protected by a berm covered with greenery, in the old Coral Ridge section of Fort Lauderdale.
"Over the years we've learned it's so much better to work with nature than against it," says Livio.
When they moved into their home almost 20 years ago, the backyard had a shuffleboard court that Livio describes as looking like a runway. A broken down barbecue pit graced the backyard. A small cement slab patio sat outside the dining room window. The front yard had nothing but a royal palm with a hedge full of stickers around it. And don't forget the melaleuca — there was plenty of it.
"The yard had great expanses of lawn and old landscaping that was not native and not attractive," says Livio.
The two began by deciding what was important to them. Their list included privacy, pretty vistas and lots and lots of wildlife. Livio, who is the town horticulturist for Oakland Park, drew up some plans and they went to work.
Today when you pull up to their home, you can hardly see the house from the street. It's a white brick mid-century ranch, but it's tucked behind a densely planted berm gently rising from the front yard.
To create privacy from the street, they had about 20 cubic-feet of topsoil dumped in their front yard. Then with rakes, shovels and "a lot of sweat equity," they built their berm. Next they selected plants to cover it.
"I like lush tropical settings but Charlie prefers more formal settings and native plantings," says Allyn. So originally the berm was planted quite formally.
But when Hurricane Wilma blew through the neighborhood in 2005, the berm took a beating from the wind. "Today what you see is nothing like what it was back then," says Livio, who hopes the plantings that currently cover it will survive the next serious storm.
Now when you approach the house, five robellinis in a row protect the street side of the berm. They give plenty of privacy and are hurricane resistant, says Livio.
But walk around to the house side or view the berm through the living room picture window and you see what Allyn calls a natural hammock. Here, shade-loving plants do well at the foot of a gumbo limbo tree. And two 15-foot-tall clumps of chubby, blue-green Buddha belly bamboo provide additional cover from the sun.
"We got a bug to get bamboo," says Livio who made sure to plant the clumping variety that doesn't spread. "Plant running bamboo and you'll curse the day you put it in the ground," he says.
In the understory of the berm, there is xanadu philodendron, trailing purple lantana with its delicate flower clusters, blue plumbago and the oversized tropical leaves of monstera deliciosa with its cob-shaped fruit.
There's also plenty of wild coffee that has grown just about anywhere a bird dropped a seed. Like all volunteers in the garden, it's welcome if it pops up in a good spot.
Although natives are encouraged in this garden retreat, invasive species are not. So when Livio sees carrotwood growing from seeds that have fallen out of a neighbor's tree, he removes them. "I've pulled out hundreds over the years," he says.
Native thatch palms stretch out their large fans; pink pentas and colorful salvias reseed themselves. Pink and purple ground orchids compete with the fragrant white bloom of the St. Christopher lily and give the berm some color.
"The orchids are one of my favorites and they do well in the dappled shade," says Livio.
A Jamaican caper has exotic blooms that turn to long seed pods. When these fall to earth, they can start another plant without much oversight.
At both ends of the front yard, double royal palms now tower about 25 feet high. Three of them grew from seeds that planted themselves. "It's nice to get so much help from Mother Nature. And best of all, she works for free," says Livio.
In keeping with his wishes to live with nature, Livio did away with grass in his side yards and replaced it with stepping stones and mulch. . It means less to water and mow. Along the lot line you'll find podocarpus and a low-maintenance juniper.
In the backyard, grass was replaced with plant beds that project into the yard. It was only after removing the grass and planting that they realized their newest flower bed was shaped like Florida's peninsula and panhandle. They've called it "Little Florida" ever since.
In the winter, this is where they grow basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano and chives. In summer, they turn the area over to pink tropical salvia and a summer sunshine mix of cosmos as well as pink and purple zinnias grown from seeds. Livio is careful not to mulch this area too thickly so that when flowers drop their seeds, they come in contact with the soil where they germinate and grow. That way nature does the reseeding.
"I used to spend a lot of money at nurseries but now I use what nature gives me," says Livio who puts his seeds in envelopes and files them in a gold and red Neiman Marcus gift box. Each envelope is marked with the type seed, the date it was gathered and the necessary growing conditions. These become the basis for his garden the next season.
But right now, stand quietly and you'll spot monarch caterpillars stripping the leaves from the milkweed. Mockingbirds squabble over the purple fruit of the beauty berry. A yellow sulphur coasts silently on the breeze. Green parrots squawk as they gather in the strawberry guava tree. And even two black racer snakes call this home. "I've had to get used to living with them," says Livio.
Over the years, nature has worked magic in this garden.
"Our yard doesn't look anything like it did 10 years ago. And 10 years from now, it won't look like it does now. Nature likes to keep changing things," Livio says.

Many thanks for the suggestion!
The chap behind this project, Jarrod Gosling, is known for his work with psych-pop outfit I Monster but more recently has worked with Crossover Prog band Henry Fool. The Dissecting The Worm EP on bandcamp is a 5-track taster of the two forthcoming albums Use And Ornament (due out on 18th June, I believe on the Esoteric label) and Pig Views (currently being mixed). The soundcloud contains additional tracks, plus some I Monster stuff.
This is exceptionally good music and I recommend listening to all the samples. It's certainly accessible but I don't think Crossover is the right place for it. Whimsical, varied, catchy yet experimental, and sounding variously like Zappa, Caravan, Crimson. Multi-instrumentalist Gosling is joined by Mick Somerset on winds, with a few other guest musicians/singers helping out, but the main combination of keys and reeds really stands out. There are elements of jazz, experimental, psych, Canterbury - my money would be on Eclectic.

Unfortunately, the tubes that Svetonio posted in the OP are no longer available. The album should have been released on 15th July (as noted above) but was then put back to 1st August, and it now appears to have been delayed even further. I still think Eclectic would be the best place but need to wait for the album to appear on CD or bandcamp I guess. It's available as a download from Amazon so I don't know what the issue is.

Hi there !
I thought you'd like to know that Use and Ornament was released on 02/12 through the artists own label, Quatermass Records.
Currently it is available through Burning Shed for online CD's, and via all the usual download sites, including the bands own bandcamp site http://regalworm.bandcamp.com/
There are a couple of free tracks too - you can get one via Bandcamp for the price of an email contact, or there is another one available via Burning Shed.
Also, there is a You Tube channel, where all the videos now live http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ9i4Xt7QQkQmMP2F_n775A

Area of Birch Bay near Terrell Creek closed to recreation/swimming
Published on Wed, Feb 5, 2014 by
Brandy Kiger Shreve
Read More
On January 31, the Washington State Department of Health issued a closure for the area of Birch Bay located at the mouth of Terrell Creek due to high bacteria counts found in the Terrell Creek outflow. Terrell Creek discharges at the south end of Birch Bay.
"Whatcom County Public Works, working in conjunction with the department of health (DOH) and the department of ecology, collected samples last week to test the quality of the water," said Tom Kunesh, Whatcom County Health Department environmental health supervisor. "They found extremely high bacterial counts that exceeded our water contact threshold, and on Saturday the DOH posted signs warning people to stay out of the water."
Kunesh said the area is tested regularly to identify sources of contamination and to protect water quality and public health.
He said the contamination could be caused by a number of things, such as the impacts from raising livestock, the management of compost piles or the spreading of fertilizer. "It's too early to tell what the source might be, but it could be any kind of discharge of organic material from the land into the drainage ditches," Kunesh said.
Terrell Creek is a point of focus of water quality for the state department of health because it has been closed for commercial shellfish harvesting. "This closure doesn't affect the entire bay," Kunesh said. "It's just that immediate area of Terrell Creek that doesn't meet water quality standards."
Kunesh said they have taken additional samples and will be conducting further tests on the bay.
Officials said people should steer clear of the water until further notice, because contact with contaminated water can cause gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.

I recently explored to use app builder service and started to build a simple app by myself without coding (just drag and drop).

Martin Martinez http://meetup.com/OCAndroid/mem... attendance & review of this.
*Meetup should have automatically made him a YES as one of our event hosts but for some reason he was missing
*So now I added him.
*Martin should be the primary one overseeing the running of this meeting according to our agenda
**-Lucy suggested this to me right after (yesterday's meeting http://meetup.com/OCAndroid/eve... ), seeing he's ready for it now, and Martin seemed to be agreeable.
**Of course I & other leaders will be assist & guide him, especially since this will be his first time doing so.
**Consequently, unlike prior meetings where Martin has typically come notably late, it's especially important this time Martin be early (say at least 10 minutes before normal event start time).
**Consequently, it's important for Martin to study up in advance on our agenda http://1.JotHere.com/967#M0T2P6 .
0 · March 29, 2013
PRE-MEETING ESPECIALLY FOR LEADERS (plus future leaders & those who just want to help are also welcome).
*This will be our 1st.
*Will most conveniently take place at the same venue, just before the meeting, per leader Martin's suggestion of this and that he can make this time & place.
*These are to cover admin only group leaders can really do, especially processing our many member applications (beyond our 245 members, we've got 116 applied & pending!).
*This pre-meeting will start as soon as I get there (~5:30pm), so will be short (~30min) but future ones may be 1 to 2hours.
*As always, bring your laptops & devices to make full use of any idle time

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - A plea agreement has been reached in the case of a woman charged in a drug overdose death. 34 year old Jenny Dahlke entered a no contest plea as part of a plea deal on 1st degree reckless homicide charges in the death of 49 year old Christopher Lindgren in August of 2011. He died of a heroin overdose in Sheboygan and Dahlke is alleged to have provided the heroin. Dahlke was charged after a lengthy investigation uncovered her DNA on the baggies of heroin that Lindgren had used. A 3 day jury trial that had originally been scheduled to begin last Tuesday was adjourned. Sentencing is scheduled for October 29th.

Don't dissect the parables
Mark 4:26–34
For more commentary on this week's readings, see the Reflections on the Lectionary page, which includes Bolz-Weber's current Living by the Word column as well as past magazine and blog content. For full-text access to all articles, subscribe to the Century.
Parables aren't too helpful, are they? Here's what would be helpful: six steps to better discipleship. Or the three secrets of the kingdom of God, spelled out in an acrostic.
If only Jesus' teachings were as simplistic as they are often portrayed. If only parables were neatly packaged moralisms. If only these stories were clearer, perhaps packaged as an easy-to-read policy manual or employee handbook—that sort of thing.
It's just so much work to try to dissect them for their meaning. It takes a lot of effort to carefully analyze parables for hidden allegory, to crack the imagery and reach some clear and simple meaning beneath, something with easy-to-read instructions.
This morning, my breakfast cereal box did not contain a parable decoder ring. I did not get one. No one did—not me, not my kids, not you and not the crowds who listened 2,000 years ago. That's because there is no better way to suck the life out of a parable than to explain it, to decode it, to finalize the meaning of it.
That's not how parables are. They aren't to be studied and interpreted so much as to be experienced. We don't figure them out; they figure us out.
A parable is like a living thing—a growing organism of meaning. Yeah, you can dissect it to try to understand it. But to do so is to kill it.
See, I'd love to understand my husband better. I'd love to know how he works and what he means. I'm a bit more likely to get there if I experience him in my life everyday than, say, by autopsy—by which I may see some sort of mechanical meaning but in so doing prevent him from ever again changing me, interpreting me, figuring me out. A living thing changes—and changes us.

Thanksgiving is now just 11 days away, and many people here in Southern Arizona cannot afford to buy or cook a meal this holiday. Some local non-profits are hoping you can help.
This year it costs $49.48 to feed ten people on Thanksgiving, more than ever before.
There are many families, veterans and elderly in the community who simply cannot afford to put together a meal this Thanksgiving.
As always there are groups who are cooking and baking to feed thousands who cannot feed themselves this holiday; but they too are feeling the pinch and need some help.
The Salvation Army and Luz Social Services need hundreds of frozen turkeys and pies to make 6,000 meals.
If you would like to make a donation of either a turkey or a pie you can drop them off at Luz Social Services – 2797 N. Cerrada de Beto; or the Salvation Army at 1001 N. Richey Blvd or 1021 N. 11th Avenue.
These groups make and serve dinner next week at a sit-down meal and also make deliveries of the meal to the homebound.
Remember Tucson has the sixth highest poverty rate of any large city in the country; nearly one in five people live in poverty in our area.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Police said on Monday that they are checking into several leads into the attack on a Washington State University professor. Someone attacked Dr. David Warner on Saturday morning in the College Hill area.
Investigators said that Warner was listed in critical condition on Monday afternoon at a Spokane hospital.
Officers also said that they have surveillance pictures of multiple people involved in this brutal assault. Police told KREM 2 News that they are trying to sort out the witnesses from the possible suspects. Authorities revealed on Monday afternoon that they are looking for four possible suspects including three men and a woman.
The suspects are described as:
Suspect #1: Male white, college age, 5'10" to 6'3"; was wearing a dark button-up shirt, blue undershirt, and jeans.
Suspect #2: Male white, college age, 5'10" to 6'1", was wearing a white undershirt (possibly a V-neck t-shirt) and jeans.
Suspect #3: Male white, college age, approximately 5'10"; was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
Suspect #4: Female white, college age, long dark hair; was wearing a light colored sleeveless shirt, dark pants, dark shoes, and a white jacket or sweater around her waist.
Security cameras caught images of people who might have walked by the scene. However, the cameras did not catch the attack according to police.
Police said the attack took place in a parking lot in the Adams Mall parking lot on Northeast Colorado Street. Authorities arrived around 2:00 a.m. to find Warner beaten unconscious. Warner suffered a serious head injury according to officers.
Investigators told KREM 2 News that it appears that Dr. Warner was trying to break up a fight. They said that surveillance shows Warner standing between two groups who appear to be fighting. Officials do not believe that Warner was not the intended target.
Contact Detective Brock Germer at (509) 334-0802 with any information. A Facebook page has been created to support Warner.

K-Stew's Sideshow Secret
That Kristen Stewart loves to sweep her long, chestnut-colored locks over one shoulder is well-documented fact; a quick image search of the starlet will reveal a disproportionate number of appearances by the easy style. But red carpet cameos require a little extra coiffing security (the better to pose with rabid fans), which came via a hidden twist pinned behind Stewart's ear courtesy of her trusted hairstylist Adir Abergel at The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 world premiere last night in Los Angeles. Perfectly asymmetrical hair like that doesn't just happen, it turns out. Thoughts on Stewart's big night out sideshow act?

LOS ANGELES, August 4, 2012 – Stop the presses. In fact, stop everything. Whatever it is, it can wait. This is the 2012 National Football League Professional Hall of Fame weekend.
Any events not taking place in Canton, Ohio, can be dealt with on Monday.
Even the leader of the free world will have to make some sacrifices. The 2012 regular season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and defending champion New York Giants was scheduled for Thursday, September 6th.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell moved the game up one day to Wednesday so as not to conflict with the President's reelection convention speech.
Well rumor has it that Saturday, August 4th, is the President's birthday. He will have to postpone it until Monday. This is not personal. This is business of the most serious kind. This is professional football.
Starting at 7pm Canton (EST) Time, America will hear from the six newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cornerback Jack Butler, center Dermontti Dawson, defensive end/linebacker Chris Doleman, defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, running back Curtis Martin, and offensive tackle Willie Roaf will enter the pantheons of the very best.
It will be almost impossible to top last year, when Deion Sanders lit up the crowd and Shannon Sharpe gave one of the greatest Hall speeches of all time.
In fact, it may be considered the second best induction speech behind that of Michael Irvin. The final two minutes of his speech should be required viewing for every school child ever afraid of anything.
In 2006, it was my honor to actually attend the events live. Harry Carson gave a very politically charged speech, while John Madden added to legendary blue collar status by beginning "I don't plan on making a whole heck of a lot of sense, and I don't care."
This year the drama over who is in attendance. Bill Parcells will be introducing Curtis Martin, reminding the entire football world that it is inexplicable that Parcells is not already enshrined.
Parcells protege Sean Payton has been allowed to attend the ceremony to witness Willie Roaf enter the Hall. Coach Payton's suspension is still in effect, and he will be prohibited from the actual game on Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, there will be actual football. Yes it is preseason, but after six months of waiting, it is something. The New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals will play at 8pm Canton time on Sunday.
There will be so much to say after the speeches, but for now, let's just enjoy the fact that the only sport that truly matters has finally returned.
Any moment now that coin will be flipped in the air, followed by the handshakes.
Gentlemen, let's play football.
To those enshrined, thank you for playing it, playing it hard, and playing it with honor.
Updated: Here are some highlights from the speeches.
New Orleans Saints Offensive Tackle Willie Roaf: "I will forever be thankful to the Saints for drafting me."
"I will always be a Hall of Fame teammate you can be proud of. Thank you for welcoming me to your team."
"To my mother in heaven, no mom, I did not become a doctor, lawyer, or brain surgeon…but I did become a Pro Football Hall of Famer. I know you are looking down on me and are proud of me, and that matters most to me."
Pittsburgh Steelers Cornerback Jack Butler: "I can't figure out what caused all this."
"Heck, I'm thankful I'm here."
Minnesota Vikings Defensive End Chris Doleman:
"We pay you to win football games, not play football."
"Anything you want in life, you can get through sacks…money, fame, women, whatever."
"My dad had one rule. If he signed you up for something, you better finish. He didn't like wasting money."
Seattle Seahawks Defensive Tackle Cortez Kennedy:
"My dad said I did a bad job cutting the grass. So he made me do it again at 5am. I still think that if it was tough to do during the day, how could I do a good job at night? I got the point though."
"My mom made me quit football for having bad grades. My team made it to the state championship and my mom sent me a postcard that said 'wish you were here.'"
"You know it's bad when the Defensive Coordinator says you know we're not going to win the game, let's just not embarrass ourselves."
"It's not about winning or losing. It's about the relationships. It's about not taking shortcuts. God bless America, and God bless the Seattle Seahawks."
Pittsburgh Steelers Center Dermontti Dawson: "To everybody on the field and off, do everything with a purpose. Live, act, play, work with a purpose, with a passion, and most importantly, with honor."
New York Jets Running Back Curtis Martin: "Everybody who knows me knows I hate to run."
"Yesterday, I really felt like it was my first day as a fan of the game of football."
"I thought I would play baseball, but it was too hot in the Summer."
"I always thought I would die before I was 21, but when I was 20 I thought I would go to Church and thank God because I know I am not faster than a bullet."
"If my kid could learn what I've learned from this game, I'd let him play. I think it's worth the risk."
"It's not what you achieve in life that matters most, it's who you become in the process."

Communities Putting Prevention to Work
Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) is a locally driven initiative supporting 50 communities to tackle obesity and tobacco use—two leading preventable causes of death and disability in the United States.[1] More than 50 million people—or one in six Americans—live in a city, town, county, or tribal community that benefits from this initiative.
More about the program
Chronic diseases are among the most common and costly of all health problems in the United States, but they also are among the most preventable. Lack of physical activity and poor nutrition—two modifiable risk factors for obesity—and tobacco use are responsible for much of the illness, suffering, and death related to chronic diseases.[2] To help address these health issues, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW), which is led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Through CPPW, communities—including urban, small, rural, and tribal areas—are implementing environmental changes to make healthy living easier, such as improving means for safe active transportation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and mass transit users; ensuring provision of healthy food and beverage options in schools; limiting exposure to secondhand smoke; and increasing available tobacco cessation resources. These efforts will produce broad, high–impact, sustainable health outcomes for the communities.

I'll say this... if I had known that the plot revolves around a kid I would never have gone because this movie violates one of my biggest no no movie rules.
No movies where a kid or animal plays an instrumental role in fundamentally changing the nature or personality of the protagonist.
It's almost always bad news.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Cardinals should give Brian Hoyer a look
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski says Ryan Lindley gave the Arizona Cardinals "solid quarterbacking" Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
The rookie out of San Diego State completed 14-of-21 passes for 104 yards and one interception. His numbers weren't great (they really weren't even good), but he did not make the game-changing mistake and ultimately earned his first NFL win. He is expected to get the start when the Cardinals host the Chicago Bears Sunday, though Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo he thinks the Cardinals should give some playing time to recently-signed quarterback Brian Hoyer.
"I think eventually you need to see some Hoyer," he said. "You'd like to see him in a Cardinals uniform on the field in a real-live game.
"I'm not saying he should start, but I think he needs to get some minutes so the Cardinals can get a look and maybe get a look behind the curtain to their future."
Hoyer, 27, has played in parts of three NFL seasons with the New England Patriots. He has completed 27-of-43 passes for 286 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Compelled to Complain: How to Effectively Issue a Medical Complaint
Doctors, nurses and other professionals work in health care because they enjoy helping others. Consequently, they generally place a high priority on assisting patients to have positive experiences. However, some patients have very negative experiences despite all efforts. Often the problem is a minor one and not worth the sustained attention required to complain.
First, discuss the problem directly with your doctor or nurse. On many occasions the professionals most closely involved in you or your child's care will be unaware of your dissatisfaction. A direct discussion is the fastest, most effective way to resolve issues. If you are afraid that voicing a complaint, will cause caregivers to be angry at them and provide poor treatment as a result; Keep in mind this is rarely true, but that feeling of vulnerability is understandable. If you do not feel comfortable talking directly with your doctor or nurse, most hospitals and large clinics have patient representatives who will listen to your concern and help you get it resolved. If direct discussion has not resolved your concern, you should consider a written complaint.
When to Write a Formal Complaint
Written complaints take valuable time and effort for you and for the professionals who must respond to them. You should be sure that your complaint is worth this effort. If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you should probably write a formal complaint. Does your problem affect future care? Is your concern one that other patients are likely to have in the future? Will this issue affect future decisions of where and from whom you will receive future care?
Writing an Effective Complaint
Having read numerous complaints (as a representative of an organization, not about me
personally), I am amazed at the variation in complaint letters. Some are compelling
appeals for assistance and others are mindless tirades that reflect generalized anger at
life. If you have a legitimate concern, write a letter that is most likely to result in
favorable resolution of your concern. The effective complaint letter is written to the
Chief Executive Officer of the hospital or health plan and has four elements: 1) a
compliment, 2) detailed description of the event, 3) expression of disappointment, and 4)
a proposed resolution.
Start out complimenting the organization or persons about whom
you are complaining. You chose them for your care because you thought or had heard that
their care would be good. Repeat this previous assumption. This helps to establish the
fact that you are not mad at the world and began with an open mind. This also indicates
that if this problem can be resolved, you will continue to have a high opinion of their
Describe in detail the situation that occurred. The
more detail you can provide, the more seriously your complaint will be taken. Detail also
helps hospital personnel reconstruct the chain of events that resulted in your negative
experience. Try to stick with the facts without ascribing motives to people's actions.
Express disappointment. What happened did not meet your
expectations. Explain the gap between what you thought would happen and what actually
occurred. Any anger, frustration, sadness or disappointment you felt should be explained
Offer a resolution. Often the thing that will make you feel
the best is just to have someone say that they are sorry you did not have a good
experience. If that is the case, ask for an apology. If you feel that specific actions
need to be taken, list them. For example, if you feel your privacy was not respected,
state that and ask for an apology and promise to provide better privacy in the future. If
you felt you did not receive an adequate explanation of your care, ask for an apology and
a promise of more detailed information in the future. Generally, those responding to your
complaint will appreciate a reasonable suggestion through which the situation can be
If your letter goes unanswered, you can either call or write another letter. My preference
is to telephone. Depending on the response to your call, you may choose one of several
options. Send a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Directors indicating that you have
sent a previous, unanswered letter. This almost always elicits a prompt response.
If you have done the above and still cannot get resolution, you
can write to the state agencies that license doctors, nurses, hospitals, and health plans.
Often different agencies oversee each of these caregiver groups. They will almost always
require a written complaint.
If all of the above has not resolved your concern, and you feel
that you have been significantly harmed by what happened, you should consider a
consultation with a lawyer.
Identifying differences in hospital quality is difficult for patients. There are several
sources of information that you can use to know more about your hospital. Knowing someone
who works in the medical area remains the best way to know which hospital provides the
best service in your area.

Whistler Blackcomb
Big, dazzling, daunting, popular. It's the Paris of North American skiing—but neither Paris nor Whistler Blackcomb is for everyone. Locals love the frequency of high-quality snowfall in the high alpine, which brings fresh powder as often as seven days a week. But for visitors, the same equation can mean valley drizzles, mountain clouds and a holiday in which they never glimpse the Coast Range's remarkable glacial landscape. Locals love the brilliant sunshine of the Arctic outflow, a weather pattern that delivers weeks of blue skies, cold temps and astounding views. But for visitors, everything depends on the roll of the weather dice. Come during a bad week and you may never see more than five feet in front of you. What doesn't change is Whistler Blackcomb's terrain: 16 sprawling alpine bowls, serious steeps, World Cup race runs, thousands of vertical feet of uninterrupted tree skiing and summit-to-base fall-line nonstops that can last as long as the queue for the Eiffel Tower on a sunny spring day. Also unmatched: The cosmopolitan, all-ages liveliness of Whistler at full rip. "This place is a game changer!" Oh, yes. —Susan Reifer
What's New » Keep an eye out for new dining options, including Alta Bistro, Fuji Market, Harajuku Izakaya, David's Tea, Chinese Bistro and the reborn Uli's Flipside.
On-Hill Lunch » Christine's at Blackcomb's Rendezvous, where regionally sourced entrées paired with award-winning Okanagan wines cost only a few dollars more than lunch in the cafeterias.
Family Activity » Riding the Peak 2 Peak for an unforgettable "Wow."

Implementation of Agenda 21
Environment Australia, 2001
The principle of sustainable development is now broadly accepted and built into the working programs of the key bodies of national governance which bring together the National and State and Territory governments (Ministerial Councils). The Council of Australian Governments (CoAG) works to increase cooperation amongst Australian governments to progress matters of national interest. CoAG's role includes consultation on major initiatives undertaken by one government which impacts on other governments, and on major whole-of-government issues arising from Ministerial Council deliberations.

A Yahoo tech blogger, writing about the recent closing of the Manassas, VA BPL system, notes:
The big problem with BPL is that power lines are unshielded and subject to interference, and pushing data that is highly dependent on accurate delivery was impractical and, in the end, extremely slow and buggy. The FCC and others had hoped a third type of competitor in the broadband business would be good for the industry, but as Techdirt notes, power utilities simply didn't want to become Internet service providers.
I feel bad for the cities, like Manassas, that were sold a bill of goods in deciding to adopt BPL, but it's heartening to see a bad technology being scrapped.

Fun and Easy Decorations
Mustache Pumpkins. If you don't have the time or patience to carve a pumpkin, decorate your pumpkin with a mustache. You can even get fancy with a paint pen or face stickers.
Delicious Drinks
Candy Corn Martini. Why should the kids have all of the fun? Serve your grownup guests Candy Corn Martinis made with Candy Corn infused Vodka and Butterscotch Schnapps.
Sugar-Free Treats
Halloween Fun Favors. Halloween favors for the kids at school or your trick-or-treaters don't have to be chock-full of sugar. Wrap up a Halloween cookie cutter from the Dollar Store with a mini Play-Doh for a fun alternative to candy.
