Feed Commodities increases storage
Feed Commodities is a feed and grain business located in Tacoma, Wash. The company recycles bakery by-products into animal feed for use in the dairy and poultry industries. In early 2009, president Jim Seley found that lack of warehousing space was becoming an issue and needed to act quickly to take advantage of rising opportunities within the industry.
"We needed a new building to add warehousing space so that we could introduce a new product to our end users," Seley says. "We had a tight timeline to do this in, or we would have missed a great opportunity."
Seley began researching online for possible warehouse options and decided to install a 100-foot wide by 100-foot long fabric building and worked closely with the supplier to erect the structure in about 30 days (ClearSpan, clearspan.com).
The structure is working well for the company, and Seley says the extra space has more than one advantage.
"We are using the space for much more than anticipated. Apparently, if we have covered space, we will use it," he says. "We converted the parking lot into a building without losing any of the parking lot functions. I can park equipment inside, but if I need the space for something else, I have a great covered space."
The structure's open interior allows ample space and height for material and equipment, and the natural lighting that filters through the cover is an added benefit.

Parents often want their kids to hurry up and be OK again. It is difficult to sit with a grief-stricken child. However, if we leap-frog over the grieving process and truncate our feelings, especially our heavier, stickier feelings, we -- both child and adult -- remain emotionally stuck. True freedom from the heartbreak is to walk through the panoply of feelings as they ebb and flow.
As there will be some special days that make it painful, you can plan ahead. If you have recently lost your father, than make sure you're with supportive individuals on his birthday, or on Father's Day. You will want to surround yourself with people who respect your grieving process. Make sure you accept the love and support of your friends and family members.
Find ways to honour those you miss. Look at old photos and tell stories of any loved ones you have lost. Honour the expectations that you may have had for relationships, life and even your vision of the season, as they are a part of our story. Let a lost loved one remain alive in you, and be an active part of your experience.
Today marks four months since my daughter Rehtaeh ended her life. It's said that losing a child is the hardest thing a person can experience and if there is something worse I can't imagine what it could possibly be. The last four months have been hell peppered with smiles as I think back on memories. I cherish those when they come, even if they last for only a moment. This is the hardest thing I have ever faced. This is an ocean of grief. I'm treading water in a tidal wave of pain, disbelief, anger, sadness, waves and waves of heartache.
I am a widow. Friendships, I learned, are not immune to grief. Despite what you may think, some friends will leave you when you need them the most. Perhaps they don't know what to say or how to act. After speaking to people in similar situations, I now realize that in many cases, friendship and grief do not mix.
Why is it so difficult to treat depression? Part of the problem is in our definition of the term. In fact, there are two distinct depressions: situational and clinical. It would be so much easier if we called the two depressions by different names, for then we could explain better how we feel and know better what might help.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
TV, Film, Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Someone asked for some Bagge, so darnit people, you're going to get some Bagge! And some EARLY Bagge at that! And remember, Bagge is not material meant for all ages!
Neat Stuff was a series Peter Bagge did for Fantagraphics in the mid-1980s. For a cartoonist who was only in his late 20s at the time, Bagge was already extremely accomplished as a sequential artist.
The series was an anthology of a few different characters, but as time went by, the Bradley family became more and more of a prominent part of the comic, and Buddy Bradley is likely Bagge's most famous character (Buddy moved to Seattle and was the star of Bagge's follow-up to Neat Stuff, Hate). Some time this month, I'll pick out a particularly good Bradley comic (there are tons of them) from Neat Stuff, but for now, I just wanted to show a simple one-off strip by Bagge from Neat Stuff #1 that I think shows his skills quite well, including his offbeat sense of humor.
The ending would be "the" moment for me.
Peter Bagge, one of the few modern comedic talents in comics.
This. Was. Awesome.
Good God, that was nothing short of brilliant.
Ha – That last panel actually made me laugh out loud.
Aaaah, passive-aggressive romance.
Great stuff – was Neat Stuff collected anywhere? I just had a look on the Fantagraphics site and it seems like only the later single issues are available.
Also, have we had any Evan Dorkin Moments yet?
Good stuff.
WOW this is the greatest thing ever!
I absolutely love this one!
That last panel makes it so perfect…
Ahhh Bagge, it's been far too long since I've read any of his stuff, thanks for the reminder. Thank God he was producing quality work during the Image early 90's era – he was one of the few creators that kept me really excited about the art form.
I like the slightly looser style that he used here.
Got to go hunt down some Studs Kirby now.
I've read very little Bagge– I think I've seen a few things from MAD, and some strips from Reason magazine, and that's all.
His art looks quite a bit different here, but you can still see a lot of similarities with the new stuff.
This was really funny. I think I've known these people.
Do you really need a warning about the age-appropriateness of Bagge for this strip? There's nothing on here you wouldn't see in any situation comedy on TV, except maybe the pencil in the ear, and there is worse violence than that in most of the comics you show on here.
Hate this stuff. Bagge was an attendee at a Con that my boss put on about 8 years ago. He came dressed nicely and seemed to be nice. Didn't go up to him and tell him how much i hated and still hate his stuff, as that would be rude.
Did i mention that i loathe Peter Bagge's work yet, 'cause i do loathe it. This is the worst day of this feature that there could be [unless there is more Bagge stuff coming]
i don't like this.
Well, at least you did a good job explaining your problems with it.
Hey Brian!
Here's my problem with it
It comes across to me as everythintg that i don't like in comics/entertainment. But, to each his own. While i mean everything i say in my last post, it should be read with a sarcastic tone, not a 'total ass' tone. Sorry if that didn't come across. My bad.
Just a question, what do you and anyone else like about Bagge's stuff? To me, its ugly both visually and emotionally. i don't like any of the characters, they don't remind me of anyone i've ever known, and nothing is ever funny or thought provoking. i can't relate to any of the situations, or people, and i don't like simply laughing at those who i don't like/can't relate to. This above list is me trying to think of something that would keep me reading/enjoying Bagge's stuff. If anyone has some thoughts on this, i would love to hear about it. Maybe i could find something to like in this. Thanks for the help!
Also, i still really like this feature and thank you for posting it!
I was the one who asked for Bagge. And Thank You. Would've prefered "We all scream for MILLER-IN-THE-CAN!" but this is good enough.
Does anyone want to inform me on why they would like this stuff? Am i to take silence as assent and just believe that you all agree with me on the crappyness of Peter Bagge?
I like his style. I like the rubberyness of his people and how elastic their expressions can get. I haven't been a fan of the stuff he's written for Reason as I think he has a habit (as most libertarians I've encountered do) of setting up straw men, but even there he has a degree of humbleness that I find lacking in his political peers (though you wouldn't get that from the title of his collection). When it comes to Hate I haven't read too much of it, but I thought it was a good satire of suburban white grunge/gutter punk brats and I have certainly know some in my time. I think the idea of relatable characters is kind of overrated. It's certainly not a bad thing, but it doesn't break a story for me if I don't find the characters likable and can often offer insights to other points of view I would not otherwise consider. At the very least, in the realm of comedy it can offer a cynical dose of schadenfreude which is occasionally just what the doctor ordered.
I'm not wild about his art either. I've never liked cartoony styles where everyone looks hideous. (I prefer cute-cartoony or realistic styles.) But that really shouldn't matter too much since the Bagge stuff I've seen is mostly verbal. He doesn't seem to do the kind of comics that really rely on art.
I like the humour in this one. I don't really know how to explain why. I guess because it illustrates twisted emotions and the pointless cruelty of so many social interactions. There is a lot of humour like this. Do you like Seinfeld? Mean Girls? Seth McFarlane? Kevin Smith movies? Really, I don't see how it's much different from a lot of comedy out there. The comedy of cruelty (which is most comedy, actually). I haven't read enough Bagge to have a very clear idea of his comedy styles, but the stuff I've seen shows cruelty without identifying too much with the bully, which puts it far above a lot of gutter humour.
I've seen that on a lot of comments, but I have been totally unable to figure out what 'DFTBA' means.
Thanks to both Mary W and Julian. The comments were thoughtful and helpful. Julian mentions schadenfreude, which is sometimes defined as "delighting in others' misfortune."
That may explain why i never liked Bagge. i don't find that humor interesting most of the time. i don't like anything that Seth McFarlane does, never seen a Kevin Smith movie or Mean Girls, and enjoy some bits of Seinfeld, but don't really care for it as a whole. i really dislike pointless cruelty or people being mean to one another [as there is enough of that in the world]. Satire i enjoy if there is some level of humaness to it, but with Bagge, his art is so offputting that i can't get past it. Also, i have always had a sense of meaness to his work and his presentation when he came to our Con seemed to reinforce this.
Well, thanks for the help with this. i know for sure now that Bagge's work and i will never be able to co-exist in this comic book universe. Its either him or me! ;-]

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico's incoming governor is ruling out a tax increase on cigarettes or alcohol to help pay for the rising costs Medicaid.
A legislative study committee last week recommended options for the Legislature to consider for Medicaid, including finding new sources to help finance the health care program.
Among the panel's recommendations: a 60-cents-a-pack increase in cigarette taxes, imposing an additional tax on alcohol sales and earmarking a portion of revenues from gambling for Medicaid.

By keeping your current smartphone, you can save more than £200/year by switching to a SIM only deal. We compare across the UK networks to find the best value SIM card for use in a smartphone.
Nowadays, many of us already have a smartphone that we're happy to keep. When your 24-month contract comes to an end, there are normally two options you're able to choose from.
The first option is buying a new smartphone. This normally requires taking out another 24 month contract. You can upgrade to the latest handset such as an iPhone 6s or Galaxy S7. You'll normally pay around £40/month on a new contract and there could also be an upfront charge for the new handset.
The second option is switching over to a SIM Only deal. This is a much better option if you're happy to keep your current smartphone. You can get a new low-cost SIM card that slots into your handset and that saves you money on your contract every month. SIM-only deals start from only £5/month: as they're airtime-only contracts, they're substantially cheaper. You can normally expect to save around £20 per month with a SIM only deal. Over a year, the savings can easily add up to more than £200.
A SIM-only contract is also ideal for anyone upgrading from Pay As You Go. SIM-only contracts can also be perfect for anyone with a SIM-free smartphone or for anyone who's received a second-hand smartphone from friends or family.
In this article, we'll review and compare the UK's best value SIM Only deals.
SIM Only Deals: What You Need To Know
Switching network? You might need to unlock your smartphone.
If your current smartphone was provided as part of a contract or on Pay As You Go, it might currently be locked to your mobile network. Before using your handset on another mobile network, it might be necessary to first unlock it. We've got a step-by-step guide to unlocking your iPhone and unlocking your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. It should never cost more than £20 to unlock your smartphone and in many cases it should be free.
If you're staying on the same network as before, it won't be necessary to unlock your handset. Customers on O2 can switch to giffgaff without the need to unlock their phone (giffgaff is a sub-brand of O2 but with much lower prices).
You can keep the same phone number as before.
It's a straightforward process to keep your current phone number, even if you're changing to a different mobile network. If you're moving your number to another network, you'll need to obtain a PAC Code from your current network. It takes around one working day to transfer your number to another network. Our PAC Code Finder will take you through the process one step at a time.
Be sure to choose the right size of SIM card.
SIM cards come in three different sizes: Standard SIM, Micro SIM and Nano SIM. When ordering your SIM-only deal, you'll normally be asked which size of SIM card you require. If you aren't sure which size of SIM card is required by your phone, please see our guide to smartphone SIM card types. Alternatively, you can take the current SIM card out of your phone and you can compare it to the following image:
From left to right: Standard SIM, Micro SIM and Nano SIM. You'll need to choose the right size of SIM card when ordering your new SIM-only deal. Figure adapted from Wikipedia (CC-licensed).
If you've already ordered a SIM card but it's of the wrong size, don't despair. It's always possible to exchange the SIM card for a different-sized SIM card later on.
Best SIM Only Deals (By Price):
Through the rest of this article, we'll compare the UK's best value SIM-only deals. Please select your price range to see a full list of available deals:
Less than £10/month
For a super-cheap SIM-only deal, there's a number of options for less than £10/month.
If you're happy with having only 3G coverage, LIFE Mobile currently has the best value deal. A low-cost sub-brand of EE, LIFE Mobile offers 600 minutes, 5000 texts and 500MB of 3G data for £4.95/month. It's on a 30-day contract for ultimate flexibility and you can also cap your monthly spend for greater peace of mind. LIFE Mobile offers coverage from the EE network – for more information you can read our full review
If you'd like faster 4G coverage, we recommend the deals from giffgaff and Tesco Mobile. For £7.50/month on giffgaff, you get 250 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of 4G internet (the coverage on giffgaff is provided by O2). Again, it's on a 30-day contract for ultimate flexibility. Tesco Mobile has a similar deal to giffgaff but requires you to sign up to a 12-month agreement.
Finally, for frequent travellers, we recommend the £8/month SIM card from Three. You'll get 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of 4G data every month. A key benefit is you're also able to use your smartphone abroad in 18 other countries at no extra charge (includes Spain, the USA, Italy, France and other Feel At Home countries). You'll also get free wi-fi when travelling on the Underground.
The full list of SIM only tariffs under £10/month:
12 month contracts
1 month contracts
From £10/month
At the £10/month price point, there's a huge variety of SIM only deals.
On a 12-month contract, the best deal can currently be found on Talkmobile (a low-cost sub-brand of the Vodafone network). You'll get 3000 minutes, 5000 texts and 2GB of 3G internet on Vodafone (see our in-depth review of Talkmobile for more information)
For greater flexibility, ASDA Mobile has a similar deal on a 30-day rolling contract with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1.5GB of 3G internet on EE (see our in-depth review of ASDA Mobile).
For higher-speed 4G coverage, we would recommend the tariffs from Three. For £11/month, you can choose either 600 minutes and 1GB of 4G data or 200 minutes and 2GB of 4G data. As before, you also get free roaming as part of the Feel At Home offer.
For customers with BT Broadband at home, it's also worth considering the BT Mobile £10/month SIM card. As BT Broadband customers get a £5/month discount on all BT Mobile SIM cards, you'd actually only pay £5/month for 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of 4G internet. This can make BT Mobile a fairly attractive offering. If you aren't living in a BT Broadband household, you'll pay the full price of £10/month.
From £15/month
At the £15 price point, there's a wide choice of tariffs from all the UK networks.
For ultimate flexibility, we recommend the £15/month SIM card from giffgaff. You'll get 1000 minutes, unlimited texts and 4GB of high-speed 4G internet every month (the 4G coverage on giffgaff is provided by O2). A similar deal with unlimited minutes can be found on Virgin Mobile but you'll only have access to a slower 3G network.
For heavy downloaders, it's worth considering Three's £17 SIM card with a mammoth 12GB of 4G data to use every month. There's also 200 minutes, unlimited texts and the Feel At Home offer on this 12-month contract.
The following deals are also available from £15/month:
12 month contracts
1 month contracts
From £20/month
At the £20/month price point, most mobile networks are offering unlimited calls and unlimited texts.
For ultimate flexibility, we recommend choosing giffgaff's £20 goodybag. For £20/month, you'll get unlimited calling, unlimited texting and 'Always On' data (unlimited downloads with tethering and 4G speeds on the first 6GB per month).
The following deals are also available from £20/month:
12 month contracts
1 month contracts
From £25/month
The following SIM only deals are available for £25/month or more:
12 month contracts
1 month contracts
£30/month and more
The following SIM only deals are available for £30/month or more:
12 month contracts
1 month contracts

Eight Isn't Enough
I remember feeling somewhat superior, smug actually, that I grew up in a family with one more kid than the Bradys. However, when those eight pesky Bradford children showed up, I felt vexed: one more child in their Eight is Enough clan than in my own. I was angry, annoyed, and ready to boycott ABC TV programming altogether.
But my own mother says she never gave family size much thought. "Back in the fifties, women were still adhering to the unwritten social expectation: get married and have children before you're twenty-five or you'll end up an old maid," she explains. "There wasn't a woman who wanted to end up like that." So societal norms and a heavy prescription of Catholicism predetermined the number of Ramirez offspring.
I couldn't have imagined having any more brothers or sisters, though I wouldn't have minded it terribly, but I wondered if my mother has ever regretted having seven. No, no regrets (whew), but "it was tough on us all, financially, when you were little." Now she's lovin' life, kicking back, and reaping the rewards of having an abundant crew. "You all check and see how we're doing. We're never lonely. If one of you is busy, I know there are six more to call on me."
So why is it that in recent times, the likelihood of a family with six or more children is so minute? Only twenty-eight percent of Americans expect to have three or more children, down from thirty-eight percent in 1977. Unquestionably there are many ideas about what is and isn't a "good" family size, and why. The preference for smaller families in the nineties could be a "sign of the economic times," or it could be even simpler: the fewer children you have, the more you can spend per child.
The American Public Health Association conducted a study on family size in the late 1960s. The study compared the Small family, who had two children, to the Moore family, who had six. Both families earned the same income; however, the Moore family had a greater net income than the Smalls because their income tax was smaller, but the "extra" money was used to take care of twice as many family members. Both families lived in three bedroom homes and paid the same rent. The Small children were able to have their own bedrooms, the Moore kids had to sleep three in a room. The Smalls could buy more food and clothes, have one car, and they were able to go to regular doctor and dental check-ups. The Moores couldn't afford a car and were able to use their medical allowance for illnesses only. Bottom line of the finding: that a large family is far more likely to be caught in the trap of increasing costs than a smaller family and a smaller family is in a much better position to adjust its expenses and income in relation to a changing economy.
So does it really boil down to purely economics?
For Katy and Joe Hargis and family, finances play an indirect role. They've been married for twelve years and have the quintessential "large family" by today's standards: five children. However, two of them are still warm, comfortable, and quiet in their mommy's belly during my first visit with them. Matthew and Jacob, eight (twins); and Jenny, four, await the arrival of the second set of Hargis twins. Coincidentally, both Katy and Joe come from families with five children; he's the second oldest in his and Katy is the oldest in hers. Twins run in Katy's family.
I enjoyed a beautiful, sunny drive to Northfield for my meeting with the Hargis crew. Joe works at Carleton College and Katy works part-time at a children's clothing store. They lived in South Minneapolis until two years ago; Joe commuted every day--for nine years--to Carleton, and Katy was working full-time. Because Joe wouldn't get home until 7:30 p.m., it began to wane on the family. So, when he got a promotion, they decided to move to Northfield, and that's when it became financially feasible for Katy to stay home with the kids.
Joe and Jenny--she perched on her dad's hip, shyly looking at me, nuzzling into his shoulder--welcomed me at the door. They led me to the living room where the seven of us sat together. The kids were initially observant and interested. I asked them if they thought it was going to be fun having a family of five kids. "Not really. We won't get as much attention and the babies get everything," said Matthew. Katy assured him that it will be fun. "I want a sister," Jenny whispered. "Matthew is a ponderer. You never quite know what he's thinking all the time, [but] I think he really thinks about having five," says Joe. Katy says Jacob's interested in the pregnancy part; he always wants to feel the babies' elbows and arms, and Jenny is just thrilled.
They both admit that it was a little intense at first when Katy had Matthew and Jacob. They waited four years between the boys and Jenny (they hoped to have a girl). "I think that was part of it too [having another child, anticipating a girl], but if Matt and Jacob would have been a boy and a girl, maybe we wouldn't have had more. We liked the idea of three. Three was nice," reflects Katy.
The latest pregnancy "just kind of happened." So they prepared themselves for four. "We thought, 'Okay, four is nice,' and then we were quite shocked when it was four and five," says Katy. I asked if they would have any more. Katy and Joe said unequevically, "No, this is it."
"How do you know?" Jacob asked.
"Oh, we know," Katy said with aplomb. "Five kids--that's my max." But she concedes that it's different now that she's quit working full-time. "I'm a lot calmer about the whole thing [having five children]," and Joe says they're in much better shape this time around, " . . . emotionally and financially. We're anxious. We're waiting for it to happen. We're all prepared mentally to make it work."
A family friend interrupts our visit to take the kids outside to play, and I take the opportunity to ask about sibling rivalry. "They have their share of issues but they actually do pretty well together. Matt and Jake are best friends. But they have their moments," Joe confesses. "I say 'best friends, best enemies'; they know how to push each other's buttons," adds Katy. She also thinks Matt and Jake's differences help them to be friends. She even sees Matthew taking on the "older" role (he was born thirty minutes before Jacob) and Jacob takes Matthew's lead. Jenny is just getting to the age where they can all play together. "There's more togetherness than fighting. We try to teach them but we realize that they need to be--are--friends," says Joe.
There are four bedrooms in the house: the boys share one room with bunk beds, and Jenny has her own room, but will share with the twins; Katy and Joe have their room; and they have a fourth bedroom in the basement that they like to use as an apartment. Joe's mother will use it when she comes to visit and help out for a month after the twins arrive.
Katy's immediate concern about having five children is whether or not the kids will be able to participate in extracurricular activities. "I think we aren't going to be able to afford to keep that level with five kids. Those aren't necessarily rational [fears], we'll probably find the money and we'll do it, but it's those extra things for your kids. You can do great with two, but with five, the money gets a little tight." She added that for a lot of people, the extras, such as sending kids to language camps, or to private schools, is why they choose not to have more than one or two kids. With five kids, unless you're very wealthy, you have to make choices.
Joe says that he's worked really hard to put himself in the position he's in; he's making a good salary, so he's not too concerned about taking on a second job or having Katy going back to work full-time. "I'm more concerned about that than Joe. I do the bills. Joe's a little more, 'Oh, we'll be fine,' and I'm saying, 'Oh, okay. I do the bills.'" For starters, Katy's going to try nursing the babies, and she'll continue to hunt for bargains on used clothing and other items from garage sales. "We did cloth diapers for three years; we're not doing cloth diapers again. I did my penance. I did my environmental thing."
"It's not the economics that concerns me the most, in many ways it's kind of what Matt touched on: kids need a lot of attention," admits Joe. His biggest concern is how he's going to make more time for two more kids. "I will; it'll happen, but it's a little intimidating."
"Didn't you say that one of your concerns was about having babies at your age?" Katy asks.
"Yeah, I'm forty-one so I've got to muster up energy now. But having said that, I have no doubt we'll do it; it'll be fun."
Katy says Joe is really good about giving her time to herself. She still has a lot of friends in the Cities so she likes to do little "getaways" to visit them. "I need to be able to do my thing. That's the other concern. I have to, for myself, in order to be sane, find the time, even with five kids, to be able to get away. And I need it even more than Joe; he can go to work [but I'm home all day]."
Spending time alone with Joe is a "little lower on the food chain," for Katy. "First I want to get away, then Joe and I have to find time for the two of us to get away." Nonetheless, they have a set time to reconnect: their anniversary. No matter what, they always go away, even if it's for one night. "We know to plan that into our life. It doesn't sound like much, but it's a lot." Joe says it'll be more challenging now to get away because instead of handing over three kids to watch over, it'll be five. "But we'll parcel them. I would very rarely have somebody take all five."
Reactions and attitudes about the Hargises' increasing family size have been varied, and believe it or not, strangers are the ones who comment on it the most. "[They say] things like, 'Better you than me.' At first I didn't mind it, I kind of took it and laughed, but then I got to thinking about it," says Katy. "These were strangers saying this to me. What do you say? What are we supposed to do? We were handed these twins. When people are making those kinds of remarks, I don't think they're looking at the fact that I've only had three pregnancies, but I have five kids," she says.
Joe agrees that Katy has heard a lot more remarks than he has: "I've only had one incident with one woman who went on and on about 'Who has five kids these days,' and that makes you feel kind of bad." But his colleagues have been very supportive, his boss in particular. He's told Joe to take as much time off as he needs around the babies' birth. "It really helps ease my mind, too. So, when I start to lose it I can call up Joe and say, 'Come home for an hour,'" Katy says with relief.
Katy hasn't forgotten the days when she was working outside the home. She misses the money, but even more, she says she misses "the 'women factor'--the camaraderie. That's why I work, eight hours a week. It gets me out of the house; it gets me seeing different faces. It's not the money, really, it's just the communication with other people." She believes she'd be working part-time at American Express if they were still living in Minneapolis. There, they had a wonderful day-care provider, "So I'd still be working . . . maybe four days a week."
But she does appreciate being around when the kids come home from school. "It was an incredible hassle bundling up the boys--at eight weeks old--to drop them off at day care. So, now, it's really nice. Joe takes care of the morning, gets the boys up, dressed, fed, and out the door. I take care of the 'pick-up' part; I will do the afternoon thing."
There are times she wonders if the boys appreciate that she's at home. "I'm 'just home.' Every once in awhile it kind of hits me. They loved day care; it was like a home. Now I'm just a replacement for Bonnie [the day care provider]." Jenny and the babies will have a whole different perspective on their mother. "They'll never--knock on wood--really know me going to work. And the boys, until they were six, were in day care." Katy has a group of friends she can go to the park with "and complain about it [staying at home]. You can say, 'My kids are just too much for me, they're driving me crazy,' and you know you're not the only one going through that. [It's] a nice support network. I think there are a lot more stay-at-home mothers here [in Northfield, than in the city]. It helps!" The kids come back into the room and Katy introduces me to " . . . one of our single friends. He gets his family fix when he comes over. You want to see what it's like, 'Okay, here you go.' He has seen family dinners in action."
"He gets to leave though," Joe laughs.
The friend comments on how nice the house looks. "It's never this clean." His playful comment makes everyone laugh, even the kids. "I'm just kidding."
"When it's all said and done," says Joe, "no matter how much you have, no matter how much you make, family is what matters. Your relationships with your kids."
Sam and Anne Hargis were born on August 24, 1998.
Financial affairs were a nonissue for Gail Mraz when it came to affording a large household. Clinic Coordinator at the Dorothy Day Center and a traditional midwife/registered nurse, Gail is also a mother of nine: Melissa; Gina; Greta; Jill; Paul; Jessica; Nick; Jake; and Dolly, ranging from forty to twenty-two years old.
She has been pregnant eleven times, but miscarried twice. Between ages twenty-two and thirty, Gail had six children, and then between ages thirty-four and thirty-nine she had three more.
Growing up, Gail says that she and her two brothers were very good friends. Also, "my father was very loving; we just grew up in that atmosphere. I learned how to live life from my grandmother, and I saw how things work and how happy we were. I decided that was how I was going to do it, too. After my first one was born, I just thought 'I love taking care of children,' having them around me." She decided early on that if she was going have children she was going to do it the best way she could because "I didn't want to have any regrets. No matter how everybody turned out, I wanted to feel that I had done the best I could with them."
She looked a little perplexed when I told her a lot of people don't have many children because of the lack of cash. "That just never entered my mind," she says. "I thought that we'd find a way to provide for them."
Like my own mother, Gail began having children during the era when women stayed home and had kids. She joined the Catholic Church when she was twenty-two and always looked to God for guidance. She didn't work outside of the home, and cared for the children while her husband went through college. After about seventeen years at home, she went back to college to finish up her nursing degree. Most recently she got her bachelor's degree in women's studies and multicultural studies.
There is warmness, calmness, in Gail's disposition; she radiates tranquility and speaks softly. The charming South Minneapolis home she shares with her second husband is just as serene as she is; it is adorned with many family photos and her affinity for Latin culture is sprinkled throughout the house.
When the children were little, Gail says they did a lot of artwork and made quilts for the beds. "They tell me now that they can laugh at the poverty parts of growing up, where they'd all be sitting around the table, drawing, and the baby would be in the middle [of it]. There were difficult times." Some of those troublesome periods came during winter, especially when it was below zero. "It was very difficult having several little children inside and maybe trying to give the older kids a ride to school. I'd have to bundle them all up, to take them along." But no matter when and how arduous things got, her philosophy was, "the harder things get the more I dig in."
She can recall only one time the entire family went out to dinner, but they always ate supper together. It was the cooking for eleven people every night, the pots and pots of food, providing food at all costs, that she remembers the most. She would get up early in the morning and go to the farmers market to buy mounds of tomatoes to make containers of homemade spaghetti sauce, which she'd freeze (they ate a lot of pasta), and she baked many cookies and bars. She breastfed all her children and actually helped form La Leche League in Minnesota (the first meeting was in 1963 in her home). It became an important dedication and a mode for her to socialize and communicate with other women and families.
Gail acknowledges there were times when her children may have envied other kids. Her daughter Jessie had a girlfriend whose father was wealthy, and this girlfriend got new wallpaper in her bedroom. "First of all, the friend had her own bedroom, and there were twin beds in her bedroom so she when she a friend stay over, she'd have her own bed. Anyway, she got some kind of shiny wallpaper and Jessie came home and told me about it and I could tell in her voice [she felt] 'Why can't I have new wallpaper' or lots of other things." Now, when they look back at that time, they get a kick out of it and laugh.
Although she wished she would have been able to send her children to private schools, Gail and her husband (at the time) exposed the children to "a lot of books because he was teaching at the University of Minnesota and I read a lot, too." So the children were introduced to books, art, languages, and traveling whenever trips were possible.
It didn't appear to Gail that a battle of wills was an overwhelming cause for concern, but she says, "Certainly there were--are--minor irritations. But it doesn't seem like a lot of family feuding. They did a lot of things together in clusters and groups. All of them seemed to be good friends. They played together well. They were good for each other. They're still good for each other now. They stand up for each other, and blood is thicker than water. The blood between the kids is amazing. If one of them gets in a jam, they're all right there."
She feels that raising children was and is a spiritual as well as a physical and emotional passage: "I can sit back and watch my kids' lives unfold. I think my kids are at peace, too, [concerning the outcome of the family]. They're all doing very well; I'm happy with their lives. There have been hard times but I'm grateful. My life is extremely happy now. I'm at peace. I feel blessed."
Not quite what you'd expect to see, size wise, in today's familial "economic market" is the Milless family. They put the kibosh on the notion of monetary concern. Thirty-seven-year-old Mary Jane Milless is the mother of nine children: Melissa, sixteen; Melinda, fourteen; Mitchell, twelve; Marcus, ten, Matthew, eight; Monica, six; Martin, three; Margaret Mary, two; and Marie, eight months--the "M & M's," as Mary Jane lovingly refers to her family (her husband's name is Mike).
I wasn't sure if I had the right address when I arrived at the Milless's Coon Rapids home. But once I saw Monica, Martin, and Margaret Mary--in her pink footie pajamas--running to the door to make out who the stranger in their driveway was, I knew I had the right place.
It was instinctual for Mary Jane to have a large family; she was raised in one herself (number nine out of ten). Her father's strong belief in family and the desire for having one herself was instilled at an early age. "We were my dad's life. People were the most important thing; life is the most valuable asset you can have and give. I believe if my parents didn't have the attitude they had, I wouldn't be here. Though they didn't have the means [financially], they felt they would take whatever God gave them." Mary Jane's will was strong to become pregnant immediately after getting married, which of course, she did, "so I've either been pregnant or nursing most of my married life." That would be her entire seventeen years of marriage.
From day one, Mike Milless was quite aware of his wife's longing to have a large family. However, neither of them was prepared to have nine children. Naturally, she says she's gone through moments of thinking, "Oh, I'm pregnant again?" But she has told God that "in a world that rejects life I will take all the babies you want to give me."
The modest split-level home has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, two people per room with the exception of three in the master bedroom (Mary Jane, Mike, and baby Marie). Mary Jane was very polite, attentive, and passionate about the subject at hand, and between offering me coffee and a sandwich, she nursed the baby. I was expecting a lot of commotion during my visit, but the only sight of kids in close range--other than the baby--was when Martin peered through the dining room sliding glass doors, from the outside deck, contorting his face inquisitively against the glass. Mike was on the road, working, and the others were either not at home or outside playing with friends.
A "typical day," if there really is such a thing, consists of packing lunches for the kids, getting them up and fed, getting a load of laundry in, and trying to get the beds made before she goes to church. "Laundry is kind of my central thing." Then she straightens up the house, thinks about what she's going to make for dinner, and bakes cookies for an after-school snack.
They spend about $350 every two weeks on groceries, and shop at an outlet store for bread (bread and milk are the two items they go through constantly). They buy their fruit and produce at Eisenberg's because she can always get a great deal there, she always breastfeeds, and doesn't spend much on formula (she'll keep a can around, just in case). Also, people are very generous with hand-me-downs and "garage-saling" is done often. "The statistics on raising a large family, financially, aren't necessarily true. I don't think they take bargain shopping into account."
One thing she would like to do is send Melissa and Melinda to St. Agnes, the best private Catholic school in the Twin Cities, according to Mary Jane. Because funds are tight, and the drive to and from the school- would be an hour and a half, she needed to confer with Mike. He decided that it wasn't viable. Because "I believe in being submissive," Mary Jane did not press the matter.
But what may be more strenuous than the money squeeze is the time crunch. Having dinner together doesn't happen as often as they'd like because the kids are involved in many activities outside the home: "There have been times when we'd have a schedule that would choke a horse," says Mary Jane. "It's either somebody's birthday, somebody's wedding, shower, first communion, baptism, there's always a festive mode." But when it is possible for them to spend time together, they go camping; the whole family enjoys doing that together.
Mary Jane admits there's a lot of work involved in raising her family and sometimes she can "totally go crazy because I'm human. I still like to have things perfect. Kids will not allow you to have things perfect; they'll quickly show you things aren't." But she declares, "there's never a dull moment, so you don't have to search far for entertainment."
With all the effort of bringing up nine children, naturally, there is some tension. How does she deal with the stress? "I call them my 'I can't have anything' fits, when I feel there's nothing sacred in this whole house. But my truest sense of 'how do I deal with everything' is going to Mass."
You would think there'd have to be moments when the children wish for "only childhood." "They really don't say they don't like it [family size]. I'm sure there are times they may escape it." Melissa will go to a friend's house where there is less activity, "but I don't know if she'd trade places with her friends who come from a smaller family," asserts Mary Jane.
What is most gratifying for Mary Jane is noticing the bonds forming and securing between the kids, watching them huddle together, whispering, not wanting anyone to hear their private sibling conversations. Even though there is obviously always going to be some fighting, "there's the love side, too." Her children are learning to take over some of the household roles, so they grow in different ways. "It teaches them to be less selfish, to learn to take care of their siblings."
When I asked her if she was going to have any more children, she surprised me: "Definitely! When I say I'm totally open, we're totally open. We'll take whatever God gives us. Mike's worked his way up through the ranks. It seems that each time I had a baby, he'd get a promotion or something would happen to show us that we'll be taken care of. Yes, my husband is the provider, but ultimately God is the provider of this family. We've been shown over and over again how God provides. I am totally devoted to my family, there is nothing else, but I really don't want anything else either. That [the family] is my goal; that's what I want in life."

WASHINGTON (May 15, 2013)--Dozens of people in Texas and around the U.S. have been charged in Medicare scams that billed the taxpayer-funded program a total of about $223 million in bogus charges.
Agents fanned out across the country Tuesday to make arrests, raiding businesses, seizing documents and charging 89 suspects in Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa, Fla., and Baton Rouge, La.
Four doctors were charged in Chicago and Brooklyn.
It's the latest in a string of similar announcements by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Attorney General Eric Holder.
Tuesday's bust marks the sixth national Medicare fraud takedown.
Nearly 600 individuals have been charged in schemes involving almost $2 billion.

Time for "The Lawrence Show'!
Good for you, Lawrence! ;)
"Pussykins cat food tastes real good.
Satisfies cats like a cat food should." (tone deaf last word)
"Hardens their muscles. Softs their fur.
Pussykin's cat food makes them pur. " (last word is offkey.)
Crash! Thunk!
"Are you getting more cat food lately, but enjoying it less?"
Well, Elly did tell them to play outside!
8^( ??
So they are thinking both inside and outside the box?
Lynn's Notes:
One of the most effective advertising gimmicks ever was the "jingle." My chums and I memorized all of them, and today, I can still sing the bluesy torch song that extolled the goodness of Du Maurier cigarettes. I'm trying to think of a modern equivalent…anyone heard a really good jingle lately?
Strangely I can't think of a modern jingle.
No, Night-G, modern adverts feature annoying music or smug, self-righteous spokespersons. Can't think of a single jingle.
Lawrence: "Tonight on LOGO…"
No need to dig the remote out from between the couch cushions.
Hey Mike, everyone STILL hates commercials and changes the channel when they pop up their annoying little heads.
Barry Manilow wrote great commercial jungles in the 70's. "I am stuck on Band-Aids and Band-Aids are stuck on me."
FreeCreditReport had some funny songs, and yes, there are lots of sayings, but not so many true jingles, no. I hadn't thought about that. How insightful! I did like the Band-Aid one, and Folgers, back when, and both "Have it your way at Burger King" and I think there was a McDonalds one too… maybe because we don't watch commercials, these days? LOVE DVR…
…which has resulted in most channels scheduling their commercials at the same time.
Diversity on TV at last!

Beautiful Couples In Life And In Art - Part ElevenIn a time when nothing is more certain than change, the attachment of two people to one another has become a rare thing, but just this increases its beauty.
All of us want to love and to be loved, but this is not easy at all!:icontruesmiles:
Love doesn't means only "I Love You", love means commitment and respect, a strong shoulder who can support your head at any moment, a warm heart who can receive your joys, an energetic hand which can relieve all pain and depression, a mysterious smile during a dance, which always conjures the First Dance, but above all, love is the only feeling that shines over time when our hair is white and our wrinkles talk about memories.
This is love and life, this is what all of us dream to have and to share this is what we have to respect and cherish.

It's a beautiful flower. Was this shot right after a rain or something? The water on the petals gives it a great look.
Thank you! I live in an area that just got passed over by Hurricane Isaac's squalls, so yes we've had a double dose of rain lately with a little sunshine in between.
You're welcome. Again great shot and you can send some of that rain my way. We haven't had much rain all summer.

While most previous research on forming coalitions mainly concentrates on loosely coupled multirobot tasks, a more challenging problem is to address tightly coupled multirobot tasks that involve close robot coordinations, which often require capability sharing. General methods for autonomous capability sharing have been shown to greatly improve the flexibility of distributed systems. However, in addition to the interaction constraints between the robots and the environment as required by the tasks, these methods may introduce additional interaction constraints between the robots based on how the capabilities are shared. The satisfiability of these constraints in the current situation determines the feasibility of the potential coalitions. To achieve system autonomy, the ability to identify the potential coalitions that are feasible for task execution is critical. In this paper, we demonstrate a general approach that incorporates this capability based on the ASyMTRe architecture. The extended architecture, which is called IQ-ASyMTRe, is able to find coalitions in which these required constraints are satisfied. When used to form coalitions, IQ-ASyMTRe sets up only feasible coalitions, thus enabling tasks to be executed autonomously. We formally present the new architecture and prove that it is sound and complete, given certain assumptions. Simulations and experimental results are provided for different applications in which the robots are able to flexibly form coalitions that are ready to execute.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Metabolomics provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of small molecules and cellular pathways and a powerful instrument to monitor metabolic perturbations occurring during physiological processes or pathological changes. While just years ago, technical limitations prevented more than one or a few molecules from being explored at one time, the omics revolution facilitated the simultaneous survey of hundreds or thousands of molecules that belong to multiple biological pathways.
Of several approaches used to quantitate thousands of molecules at the same time, separation methods coupled with mass spectrometry have gained widespread use. Nevertheless, while mass spectrometry provides a precise measurement of the molecular mass and can reliably differentiate molecules, it is also accompanied by shortcomings.
"A major challenge is being able to quantify these single molecules," says Jiri Adamec, Ph.D., lead scientist and director of the proteomics/ metabolomics core facilities at Bindley Bioscience Center, Purdue University. Dr. Adamec will be a speaker at Select Biosciences' "Advances in Metabolic Profiling" meeting to be held in Barcelona in November.
"In terms of quantification, mass spectrometry is not reporting the overall concentration of the compound but, rather, the ionization efficiency," he explains. This means that a molecule that does not ionize well might be difficult to measure, despite its high concentrations, while another molecule present at lower concentrations can generate huge signals and be overrepresented during measurements, if it ionizes well.
Research in Dr. Adamec's laboratory is focusing on modifying molecules with well-defined moieties, for example, the ones containing permanent positive charges that increase ionization efficiency.
A second important challenge for quantification is that ionization efficiency does not depend only on concentration, but is also shaped by surrounding compounds that may suppress ionization, a phenomenon known as the ion-suppression effect. Investigators in Dr. Adamec's lab solved this problem by differentially isotope labeling two samples and subsequently analyzing them in one run.
With this approach, the relative abundance of the labeled molecules can be measured in a mixture, or when the samples are mixed with a known amount of isotopically labeled internal standards, absolute quantifications can be performed as well. Based on this principle, Dr. Adamec's lab used in vitro aniline derivatization to quantitate metabolites in the energy and carbon metabolic pathways, and were able to analyze over 35 compounds, including carboxylic acids, phosphorylated sugars, nucleotides, and intermediates belonging to several cellular metabolic pathways.
A current effort in Dr. Adamec's lab is a targeted analysis focusing on vitamin D derivatization that proposes to develop specific reagents to analyze low concentrations of this vitamin and related metabolites in biological fluids and tissues. This tool would address the low sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability of currently available approaches.

I have a bunch of domains widespread over various DNS providers today, and all of them looks like this:
@ TXT "v=spf1 a:spf.example.com -all"
Which is good for now. However, I want to add a additional allowed outgoing servers. Normally I'd go with changing the a to include and use TXT/SPF records instead, but since they are spread among a lot of providers, this would be a very cumbersome task.
So, the big question is:
When adding multiple equal A records e.g.:
spf.example.com A 188.8.131.52
spf.example.com A 126.96.36.199
how would SPF react to that?
Would it only allow the first entry it gets in the response from DNS or would it accept all the A records for the same hostname?

Research Institution:
AbstractNanoGripTech LLC proposes to develop repeatable skin adhesives using technology inspired by the feet of geckos and insects. These adhesives will be integrated into full facemask respirators to reduce or replace head harness straps, which are currently used to hold the facemasks in place. Expected benefits are improved fit, resistance to shifting, improved sealing, and reduced discomfort and tissue damage during prolonged use. A model of the interface between skin and the micro-fibrillar adhesive will be developed to aid in the design and optimization of adhesive design. The proposed effort aims to combine and optimize various fibrillar adhesive technologies into a single system, which exhibits many or all of the unique characteristics of the separate base technologies. Potential technologies that may be incorporated into the final design include tip shapes, directional properties, bio-inspired tip coatings, and hierarchical multi-level geometry. In Phase II of this program we plan to develop a design tool for optimized fiber adhesives, manufacture such optimized fiber adhesives in patches, integrate them to facemasks, and test their sealing and adhesion performance in real world conditions.

this is awesome
Oooo that's really cool! I love the scale of the trees to the village, and the primitive look of the trees. Looks like a unique setting
AMAZING!!! I'm gonna live there one day
Does they carve houses into the trees too? Or do they just build the houses to lean against the trees?
I really like the design, awesome.

Wall Street extended its 2008 plunge Thursday, tumbling after a regional Federal Reserve report showed a sharp decline in manufacturing activity and as investors grew concerned that downgrades of key bond insurers could trigger further trouble with souring debt.
Each of the major indexes fell at least 2 percent, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which lost more than 300 points and skidded to its lowest close since last March 16.

We went in early April, and got lucky - 30" of snow in the few days we were there. However, our skinny, east-coast-centric skis are terrible. If I go again, I'll at the very least rent some fat powder skis.
It's easy to get there - fly into SLC, and there are plenty of services to drive you there. You can fly from pretty much anywhere in the US and be skiing the same day.
The terrain park was pretty much non-existent. Like one or two rails or something. If you look at the trail map, you'll see this tiny area dedicated to it. It's far less than what the map makes you think it is. That's not detrimental to me - I'm not there for that stuff.
The lift lines were always short. I don't think I ever waited more than 2-3 minutes, if that.
The nightlife is about as non-existent as the terrain park. But after a full day of skiing, I didn't care.
The back bowl was closed most of the time we were there - avalanche and visibility problems. But when it did open up, it was great. FEET of untracked powder. At one point I fell - when trying to get up, my pole sank all the way in (48"), and never hit anything solid.
With all the snow that came, the visibility was terrible. The few times it let up was a blessing; some of the trails can get very narrow, and you're skiing based on intuition and luck.
There are a variety of restaurants on site, that are pretty good. The prices weren't too bad at most of them, either (especially considering the usual resort mark
The resort might be boring outside of skiing, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm there for one thing, and Snowbird does it perfect.
