Paul's Progess & The Coquille River Lighthouse – Bullards Beach, OR
Well Paul is coming along. He may complain it's at a sloth's pace, but from my impartial viewpoint it's been rather amazing. In the short space of only a few days he's gone from not being able to move at all to practically full range of motion in his back, and from not walking at all to short spurts of waddling (our acupuncturist has aptly and rather humorously named it the Tim Conway shuffle ->; yes, he looks exactly LIKE THIS). Pretty miraculous for such a short time.
His main issue is the stinging/burning pain of the sciatic nerve which makes it uncomfortable for him in just about any position…and a man in pain, as all you ladies know, is a painful man indeed. But we are hopeful and crossing all fingers, toes and 12 paws that this rapid healing pace continues. There's certainly no doubt that without the acupuncture there's no way he would have come so far so fast.
In the meantime as yours truly takes care of everything in the RV (alas, a woman's work is often thankless woe-be-me), I've managed to squeeze a few excursions around the area and most particularly to see the Coquille River Lighthouse which is a relaxing (and pretty) 3-mile bike ride from our campground.
All this has been accomplished on my super-snazzy new Trek Navigator 2.0 bicycle which is by far the coolest, most comfortable and utmost groovy bike I have ever owned. With my über long legs and short upper body, combined with the fact that I love both road-biking and very moderate off-road biking, finding a bike that fits me comfortably has always been near impossible. So, when my old, rusty bike was stolen in San Diego a few months ago I decided, for the first time in my life, to go for a brand new one that felt good. This bike is a hybrid with the combo of a mountain-bike gears & wheels, but with a super-cushy seat and the upright riding feel & look of a beach cruiser and IT IS AWESOME! We had to order a special size (of course…me being so special and all), but it is definitely the most comfortable bike I have ever owned.
Which brings me neatly back to the lighthouse. This is the 4th lighthouse I've seen on the OR coast and I can honestly say it is the cutest of them all! It may not have the dramatic flare of Yaquina Head, or the artistic beauty of Haceta Head, but Coquille River Lighthouse is oh-so-super-cute-pretty. It is one of the smallest lighthouses on the Oregon coast and was also it's last, constructed in 1895 and beaming its first light on Feb 29th, 1896. Originally built on a rocky islet it guided ships safely through the mouth of the Coquille River for 43 years before being extinguished and replaced by an automated beacon and fog horn.
The unique thing about this lighthouse is its' grand Victorian Italianate style and the elongated octagonal fog signal room attached to its' 40-foot tower. A totally different look from any other lighthouses on the coast. It's been lovingly restored and sits beautifully at the end of miles of gorgeous beach at Bullards Beach State Park. Free tours in season too!
Poor hubby has not yet been to visit this little beauty, but I'm hoping to cart him over there during the week. A worthy little trip for the cutest little view on the coast….and hopefully hubby will get to see it too.

Freddie says:
Hope your back continues to heal quickly Paul.
libertatemamo says:
Thanks Freddie! Nina
Nancy says:
I loved Coquille, too, Nina. We saw all the lighthouses on the Oregon Coast and each has its own unique history.
So sorry about Paul's back, but glad he's recovering. I had chiropractic treatments and acupuncture years ago because of terribly disabling neck pain but at that time to no avail so I couldn't avoid surgery. Maybe they know more, today, and I hope Paul continues to progress. I certainly hopes it doesn't interfere with your hosting gig on the coast.
As I'm sure you know by now, you can throw a rock to see something new and beautiful on the coast of Oregon. Thanks for posting–brings back great memories. Enjoy your bike rides.
libertatemamo says:
Ahhh…so sorry to hear about your back. I'm hoping the surgery helped? Back issues are always a worry to me, especially with "He-Man" lurking around the corner!
Danes On Tour says:
Concerning Paul bad back. Don't forget a vital ingredient amongst all the poking needles and the woodo – a good quality red wine
We are still looking forward to see you on the road some time. Maybe sometime during our next visit? http://www.blog.retired.dk/#home
libertatemamo says:
Indeed wine has been one of the therapies we have been rigorously applying during this time. It's a muscle-relaxant don't you know
And YES really hoping to meet you guys next time you are here. We might actually make Quartzsite this year for the big meet….so that could be a spot to cross paths.
Bob says:
That's an awesome bike. Groovy T-shirt too. (I wanted to do a "Grover" alliteration, but darn it, it's Cookie Monster, isn't it?)
I never really understood what having a good bike was all about until we moved to the Netherlands. I rode the somewhat inadequate thing that I had shipped over for a few months, and realised it was too small and uncomfortable. Some sort of a 'deal' at Sears. What a waste. It's been a fine 'guest bike' though, as long as the guest in question is smaller than me….
Anyway, those Dutch sure know their bikes. The salesman sized me up (just by looking at me, no need to measure) and said, "Right, you're a 58″ or something like that. He knew the right size for my wife too. Sure helps.
So my wife and I bought a pair of *matching* Gazelles. Wow. Such a difference.
Of course, the next year we moved to Vienna, where it's just a little too crazy for a couple ageing Canucks to ride their bikes. But there's bound to be another move in the next year or so, so we'll see.
Turns out, you do (sometimes) get what you pay for.
libertatemamo says:
YUP, cookie monster it is. I found the tee at Walmart for $2.50 and simply couldn't resist buying it. My inner child loves it
And totally agree about the difference in getting the right bike. The Dutch are masters of functional biking, and I can just imagine what a bonus it was to buy one there.
rommel says:
Paul, you missing out. Go ahead and recover. Just Let me replace the slot in the wheel for now. My Word. That lighthouse looks like a toy, like them darn doll houses.
libertatemamo says:
Haha…I'll give you a call if we need a driver
David Horst says:
thanks for the bike recommendation, i was thinking of starting to shop around for one.
libertatemamo says:
I did alot of shopping & trying out different bikes before I settled on this one. The upright biking position makes SUCH a difference to me. Definitely recommend trying before buying, but I sure can recommend this model.
Jeannie says:
Eldy and I both have Navigator Trek bikes, the 2.0 version also, purchased two years ago and we love them. I never knew bike riding could be FUN and not work. The hybrid tires are great for a variety of bike trails. We are very happy with them. When you get the right bike, your body will thank you, that's for sure. Hope Paul continues to get better and better. Your lighthouse photos are wonderful!
libertatemamo says:
How fun! The bike is very simply the most comfortable I've ever owned and I totally agree that it makes biking a JOY! Glad to hear you guys enjoy them too.
Cherie @Technomadia says:
Love your new bike… I had a Trek Navigator when I initially hit the road that got rudely cut off the back of our tow vehicle and stolen. No bike has matched up sense Enjoy it!
Continued healing thoughts to Paul, and keep enjoying the gorgeous of the Oregon coast! So wish we could be up that way right now.
libertatemamo says:
What a total bummer your bike got robbed! I definitely think this bike is the nicest I've owned.
Cheers for the good vibes for Paul.
LuAnn & Terry Oburn says:
We love your new bike! I am all about the comfort when riding bikes these days. Glad to hear Paul is on the mend but not fast enough for him probably. Back problems are certainly no fun. Love the lighthouse photos. Looks like yet another place to add to the growing list!

DAVIE - The Miami Dolphins rookies are coming on strong lately.
Defensive end Olivier Vernon was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for week eight.
In the Dolphins' 30-9 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday the former University of Miami standout turned in an impressive performance as he joined punt returner Nate Jacquet (1999), Wes Welker (2004) and kick returner Ted Ginn (2009) as the only non-kickers to win the award for the Dolphins.

People unfortunate enough to hear my opinions on a regular basis know where I stand on Mega Man 9 and 10. Even if you're just looking at them as nostalgic fellatio, I still find it irritating that all Capcom's main takeaway from Mega Man's stellar NES legacy was that it was hard sometimes. Capcom then created two intensely cruel, ball-breaking throwbacks as if unrelenting difficulty was the only thing that defined the series.
We'd recommend the first three Mega Man X games over 9 or 10 any day of the goddamned week, and you can finally get it on the Wii's Virtual Console, and at a reasonable price no less. The first game is arguably the best, but more importantly, it has a far better grasp of what makes a great Mega Man game.
Above: The real Mega Man 10!
It stays true to the spirit of the original series, it's pretty as all hell, and an outstanding evolution in its own right. Gorgeous 16-bittery, upgradable abilities, hidden secrets that make revisiting levels awesome, an epic soundtrack, and perhaps best of all, A FAIR AND REASONABLE DIFFICULTY!

Owners love their Yamaha BT1100 Bulldogs. Everyone else hates 'em. Depending on your point of view the Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog is either a relaxing, better-braked alternative to a cruiser, rather like a Japanese version of a Moto Guzzi Breva (that won't break down), or it's an ill-handling, gutless chump of a thing that would sooner dump you on your backside ...

The Harley-Davidson Bad Boy has possibly the most embarrassing name in motorcycling history applied to one of the weirdest Harley-Davidson combinations. On face value it had a lot going for it: all black image, cool Springer forks, flat bars and tons of attitude. In reality the Harley-Davidson Bad Boy is a bit naff, and neither handled, was comfortable or was particularly ...

The LCGC Blog: Basics, Applications, and Innovations in Solid-Phase Extraction
In the realm of traditional sample preparation, you will often hear people speak of liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and protein precipitation. Of these three, SPE offers the highest specificity for removal of matrix interferences; it is less "quick and dirty" and requires the most effort, but for the return in investment of time and resources, SPE is versatile (many formats) and reliable (many standard methods specify SPE). It also remains fairly simple. I have had high school and undergraduate students in my laboratory regularly begin their "interaction" with analytical chemistry by performing some solid-phase extractions or fractionations to support various projects. However, for its simplicity, there are many aspects that need to be optimized to achieve optimal performance. Learning SPE is sort of like learning the English language — it is easy to become proficient in its use, but it takes a lot of time and practice to master. Here, I want to briefly touch on some of the basics of SPE, its applications, and some new frontiers. Much of this is inspired from a recent educational workshop I attended at The University of Texas at Arlington, cosponsored and delivered by Horizon Technologies, Inc., in conjunction with the Shimadzu Institute for Research Technologies at U.T. Arlington. It is also worth mentioning that LCGC's "Sample Prep Perspectives" columns authored by Ron Majors throughout the years are excellent resources for exploring the basics of various techniques, and what is new in the world of sample preparation (1).
SPE Basics
• Condition and clean the cartridge with a strong solvent
Despite the inherent simplicity of the technique, there are several variables that need to be considered and optimized. For general method development, you must first determine the structure and stability of your analytes and possible interferences in the sample. Then you need to select the proper sorbent type and amount. A good rule of thumb is that for a given amount of sorbent, about 5% of that weight can be retained on the packed bed. Of course, this can be checked experimentally with breakthrough studies and recovery tests, but 100 mg of sorbent can retain approximately 5 mg of chemical compounds. Thus, the sample load volume and concentration is another factor to be optimized, and then the various wash and elution volumes and solvent strengths. Sorbent and solvent choices are consistent with and as widely varied as available modes of chromatography (for example, reversed phase, normal phase, and ion exchange). One clear aspect is that, done manually, it can be very tedious and time consuming — if not impossible — to explore the full variable space. Therefore, the use of an automated SPE system becomes quite attractive. In fact, it is likely the case that most "standard" methods that feature SPE have probably been developed manually and may not even be fully optimized. I do not think that anyone would dispute that there is often room for further improvement of published standard methods; they are provided mostly to encourage consistency among users, and many new methods even allow room for modification of some steps to increase performance. For general utility, Table I provides some standard sizes and operational considerations for SPE cartridge development. For a cartridge containing 500 mg of stationary phase, steps are generally taken in 2.5-mL increments, which is convenient given that this amount of phase contained in a cartridge with a 3-mL solvent capacity is quite common.
SPE Applications and Formats
One could go on for pages talking about various applications, but I would rather also speak a little to some recent innovations in SPE before wrapping up. Continuous and multidimensional SPE is an interesting concept. Featuring multiple iterations of sequential SPE conducted on one sample, continuous SPE can provide enhanced preconcentration of analytes and removal of interferences from highly complex samples. The incorporation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) into SPE formats also offers potential for enhanced selectivity for targeted analytes. Because MIP phases can even be templated to be specific enough even for enantioselective separations (6), the isolation of a desired analyte from the matrix background can be very efficient. However, it may not be practical to incorporate MIP phases across the board, since you would need such a wide variety of phase types to cover analyte variations — of course, phase manufacturers might like to sell you a different phase for each analyte you are targeting. On a related note, we recently reviewed MIPs and their use in the context of restricted access media (7).
As another interesting development, I would like to say a couple of words about SPE disks. In this format, a bed of SPE sorbent material is confined within a polymeric membrane about 5 cm in diameter. The look and thickness of the disk is similar to that of a circular piece of filter paper. With all of the variety of sorbent types and operation modes capable for cartridge formats, a disk has some significant advantages. Multiple disks and prefilters can be combined to accommodate very dirty samples (consider extraction of polyaromatic hydrocarbons from seawater or sludge). Whereas flow rate is an important consideration in cartridge SPE, it is less important with the disk format because it allows for higher flow rates: The surface area exposed to the sample on the disk is much higher than that on the head of the cartridge packing. Greater sample throughput can be accommodated. Table II compares some operational characteristics of disks versus cartridges, and also versus LLE. It is not difficult to discern the advantages of a disk format. SPE disks can be used with standard vacuum filtration formats (think of a vacuum filter funnel). More-elaborate enclosures for on-line analysis or field sampling can also be envisioned.

Survey about Board Changes
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-06-2010 - 11:22pm
Hi, my favorite TTCAM girls! Just wanted to let you all know that there is a survey about the message board changes available to take, here:
Please feel free to be completely honest in your answers. This is a great way to give feedback about what you like and dont like about the board changes, and how things can be improved even further for the future. The CMs tell me "While we can't guarantee we can implement everything that members want, we do take every piece of feedback seriously." So even if you dont get a response, trust me, they are listening!
Reply below with any questions or comments.

Hmm, ok that was interesting.
Im surprised it asked twice, did you notice any changes to the boards recently? Um hello! I get they are trying to weed out people who just started using the boards but they could have just asked when you started using the boards.
|Thu, 10-07-2010 - 9:28am
Hi, what I'd most like to know is, where is the RSS feed??? Please don't tell me they've taken those away? I use RSS all the time to keep up with whatever's happening on the board. Thanks!
|Thu, 10-07-2010 - 9:37am
I took it. I really am wondering if they still have the Favorite Boards... I have tried to find that and cannot. Any idea if they still have that, or something similar to bookmark our favorites?
|Thu, 10-07-2010 - 10:20am
lbsunflowers: I will get back to you about the RSS feed. I know I saw it around here somewhere... Maybe click on your username and check out "my preferences"?
|Thu, 10-07-2010 - 12:43pm
For what its worth, I agree with April, I miss the favorite boards tab. It was so much easier to get to everything I wanted and if you didn't like it you didn't have to use it.
Besides that, I wish I could edit my signature without HTML. I have a basic signature but I like to add color to the text and it doesn't look like I can do that without knowing how to create it in HTML code. This is kind of frustrating when our posts now allow so much detail in basic text.

You can still do RSS feeds, its just at the folder level, not the board overall.

We pre-stage the accounts in active directory.
In practicality this means that we boot a new machine to the WDS server, where it waits for authorisation and us to allocate a name to the computers's guid. Using %machinename% in the unattend file will pull the name from AD. Initial builds are a bit more complicated but rebuilds are a snap.
I know it's not exactly what you were looking for but it's the nearest we could work out and I like it.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Illinois' treasurer says he's monitoring the debt ceiling showdown in Washington and the impact it could have on the state's finances.
Members of Congress continued late Tuesday to search for deal that would allow raising the country's cap to borrow more money in order to pay its bills. The government has been partially shut down for more than two weeks as Democrats and Republicans haggle over spending.
Rutherford's office says it utilizes U.S. Treasury securities as an important investment tool for the state's portfolios. The state holds $1.2 billion in U.S. Treasury bills that will mature over the next month.
Rutherford says planning ahead for a possible short-term default will allow the state to meet its payments on bonds and interest on a short-term basis.
