From the sample page:
"...if you really want to climb Poe in style, haul some food and a stereo to the party ledge..."
Is this really what guidebook authors should be encouraging these days? I'm all for having a good time, but there's a lot of us out there these days and we'd do well to consider our impact on other people and the crag environment. Being subjected to other folks' ragin' good times isn't why I hike an hour uphill.
How much more of this kind of thing can we expect from this book? That's just from the one visible page. Otherwise, looks like a great book, nice job.

|Rob, it was intended as a joke. I did not mean to offend anyone including yourself with it, sorry you didn't take it that way. Have you climbed there? To me, it's hard to imagine anyone slogging anything but the bare essentials up that hill. I pictured a boombox from the '80s, especially with some of the stories from the old guard - like Noel Childs and Olaf Mitchell, partying up there back when the place was "in vogue" and kind of chuckle to myself. I've climbed at Poe dozens of times over the years and have never seen another party there while we were there despite nearly every route being classic. Same goes for pretty much everywhere else in the Platte - the crags are almost always to yourselves (except for Turkey, of course). And to answer your question - that's the only reference like it in the book. Happy climbing.

My buddy Dean and I did Mississipi Half Step on a perfect October day. When we rapped back down to the Sundeck Ledge, we hung out for a while just sitting there with our backs leaning against the wall. We both ended up falling asleep, probably for an hour or so. Then we tr'd the 2nd pitch again.
You would think this would have happened when we did Rip Van Winkle, but alas that was a cold, snowy winter's day, and we just wanted to get the hell off there.
I just took the comment/suggestion as tongue in cheek, as like Jason said, the combination of the hill and the traversing thrash will likely convince a person to leave the boombox (and the dozen 'D' batteries!) in the car.

Thanks, Jason. I have not climbed on the Poe, just the CynPinn and the Sunshine Wall. It is a godawful slog.
Anyhow I'm glad to know that's it for the rave promotion. The whole "my buddies and I party so hard out here with the turkeys and hormones and drugs" thing in a certain other new guidebook kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

|Believe it or not, I did see a certain MP'er on Turkey Foot Crack hauling a boom box blasting heavy metal one fine late summer day. Never really got it, but to each their own, I suppose.

Jason, I am honored to have been asked to make a small contribution to this project. I am personally very excited to view the long awaited new guidebook to my favorite climbing area, "The Platte".
This should take a lot of pressure off of the handful of popular areas and allow the route hungry masses to spread out and enjoy the abundance of quality established routes the Platte has to offer.
Note: My core group and I hope that as more people explore these areas they will be considerate of the traditional style and values of many of the first ascent parties.
Aloha, Olaf Mitchell

|New book is good, but part of the charm of the Platte was getting lost out there. Sad to think of more climbers out there. Pretty selfish I know, but the old guidebooks did a lot to keep people away. I can count the number of times I saw other climbers out there on one hand over the past 10 years (other than Turkey or Bucksnort).

Like Olaf, I am very happy that I could make a small contribution to this much needed guide. I started to write a new guide to the area a number of years ago and quickly came to my senses when I figured out what a project it really was.
Congratulations to Jason and Ben for having the fortitude to stick it out and get it finished.

mattm, pre-orders have not shipped yet, sorry.
Buff, there will be a slideshow and book signing - Bent Gate on June 13th, Neptune's June 14th. While the books will be here more than a month before then, we couldn't get an earlier date at either shop. Stay tuned for more details on books and beers!

For those of us too lazy to pre-order, can you please let us know when the books are actually available in-store.

|It would be awesome to know either when online orders might ship or when the book will end up in stores. I'm moving out of state at the end of the month and wouldn't want an online order getting sent somewhere I can't get my hands on it. I'm really excited about the book, keep up the good work!

|I had a chance to look at the book over the weekend. It is sooo sexy. Really I can't believe how much is in the first guidebook. Literally stood in the gear shop looked at it for a solid 45 minutes and didn't even break it cover to cover. So stoked to buy it.

Thanks for the kind words, Kevin.
Books ordered off our website ship this weekend. We will deliver them to local shops probably a week later.

Just ordered. I am stoked to check it out. I ran into Jason a few years ago on Topo Oceans and was impressed by the dedication it took to get this out.
On another note, I will not be referring to this book as sexy.
Sexy is a term is for chicks. Chicks are sexy. Guidebooks are not sexy unless they are guidebooks about chicks.

They almost had 100 slides including that one. Once I caught wind of the GPS location stuff, I pulled out and sadly the guidebook will be forever missing the picture of Jules, a Rainer beer, the South Fork, and what it was all about 20 years ago. I'm not bitter at all, just wishing people still had to stumble around a little to find the climbs, let alone the rock the climb is on. But pictures of parking lots! But it's awfully hard not to thank the guys for all the work! So thanks for all the work, but I wish you hadn't done it. Seriously, Jason, congrats. But the mixed emotions run high (and I know you understand those).

text: While more designers state in public that they really do want to dress plus size women,few step up and do it. This may be expense (which no one believes) but it may also be an inability to think outside the tiny sample size box. The pieces here, picked from 2013 Spring fashion weeks, have some aspect that could work on various body types on women US size 12-30. Think of this as a flag of consumer interest – and as a presentation to the already committed plus size clothing designers for possible inspiration.

Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Land Revitalization in California
Partnership Supports Cleanup and Reuse of Land
For more information about the Johnson Controls site, contact: John Geroch, DTSC at (714) 484-5350.
For more information about Triad, contact Kathy Baylor, EPA Pacific Southwest Region at (415) 972-3351
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) committed to rapid investigation and cleanup of a Fullerton, California site, and delivered on its promise. DTSC and EPA assisted a lead acid-battery manufacturer, Johnson Controls Inc., in conducting a site investigation and completing environmental remediation in an unprecedented 14 months. EPA provided technical support on the Triad cleanup process to DTSC.
Johnson Controls needed to address residual contamination from its 44 years of operation prior to turning the property over to the new owner, Lowe Enterprises Real Estate Group.
Triad Speeds
Historically, sites have been cleaned up using a relatively standard approach, developed to address the most hazardous sites. This approach usually did not consider the ultimate end use of a property, and could be both costly and lengthy. More recently, regulators and site managers have seen the value of a more dynamic approach to site cleanup that is flexible, recognizes site-specific decisions and data needs, and improves decision certainty while reducing time and expense. The Triad approach meets these needs, allowing cleanup requirements to adapt to the shifting demands and unforeseen risks posed by real estate development and finance.
The Triad has been implemented successfully as part of characterization and remediation activities throughout the nation, addressing a broad range of contaminants at federal and private sites.
Lowe Enterprises purchased the 15-acre facility in January 2006, and will redevelop it into approximately 290,000 square feet of commercial office and warehouse space. Johnson Controls manufactured lead acid batteries at its Fullerton site from 1962 to 2006. The facility operated a hazardous waste water treatment unit under permit by rule authorization. Under the terms of the sale, Johnson was required to close the wastewater treatment plant and investigate and clean up any contamination.
Recognizing that imminent redevelopment required intense cooperation and rapid decision-making, DTSC recommended using the Triad approach for the site. Triad refers to three primary components: systematic planning, dynamic work strategies, and real-time measurement systems. Incorporating these components helps stakeholders to manage decision uncertainty, thereby accelerating and improving the cleanup process. DTSC sought to formally test Triad on a relatively complex site, and later to use these methods on other corrective action sites to streamline its process. DTSC partnered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to implement the Triad approach.
Here are examples of how the primary Triad elements – systemic planning, dynamic work strategies, real-time measurement systems — were used:
- Johnson Controls and DTSC convened to develop a work plan together. Passing workplans back and forth for revisions and approvals was avoided.
- DTSC advised Johnson Controls on anticipated needs for figures and cross-sections needed to be drawn, so the company could continue the investigation without seeking iterative state approvals.
- When soil gas sampling revealed the presence of VOCs in onsite subsurface soils, the project team reviewed draft electronic copies of the investigation data and modified the ongoing field work through conference calls, allowing the investigation to continue uninterrupted.
- DTSC outlined the specific format for the corrective measures proposal (text, tables, figures, photos), for easier review and approval. State staff reviewed portions of the proposal during the drafting process; when a final draft was submitted, the Department accepted it for release to the public for review and comment.
On March 19, 2007, DTSC approved the final site remedy, including soil excavation, treatment and offsite disposal, and soil vapor extraction to remediate volatile organic compound contaminated soils. Further, a land use agreement will ensure the land will only be used for commercial and industrial activities in the future.
Working together through the Triad approach allowed DTSC and Johnson Controls to complete the investigation and select a final remedy in 14 months. Implementing the streamlined process reduced the average project schedule by about two years.
"It's clear that investing our efforts up front can save everyone time and money," said Maureen Gorsen, Director of DTSC. "We hope to use Triad at more sites in the future."

The Gifts of Christmas
updated: Dec 25, 2012, 9:00 AM
By Bud Stuart
2012 has run its course and now is almost gone.
The good and bad it brought to us has faded like some song.
But here in California things are fine.
Welcoming the season that we hope brings peace of mind.
For once upon a Christmas long ago.
In a far off land that rarely saw much snow,
Three kings there came, arriving from the east.
A babe to find, in a stable with the beasts.
To this babe they carried gifts so fine.
But not all gifts for which today we pine.
Their gifts were frankincense and myrrh and gold.
Things which held great value in those days of old.
Now 'tho it's true for gold we find great use,
In these modern days of credit card abuse.
Our world has taken on a different spin.
Sometimes it's even hard to tell what time zone we are in.
For now we deal with chips and bytes and such.
The lasers and computers, oft-times seem a wee bit much.
Our instant mass communication ways,
Can easily, in all of us, create a mental daze.
And while we throw an image 'round the world to any part,
We've yet to solve the mystery supreme, the human heart.
So if some power would today anoint me King,
So I could give my loved ones anything;
The words of that first Christmas would spring into my mind.
What I'd give to all of you is what I'd like to find.
Peace, Joy, the Love of God, from whom all blessings flow.
Such gifts, the first, real, best, I pray you all may know.

FISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss. – I put on the new Iris DeMent album and place the stereo speakers near the window. It's some kind of crime in all 50 states to stay inside during October.
Fall is this mixture of beauty and sadness that takes the breath. The sumac is the color of fire engines, and the falling sycamore leaves the size of small boats. There is water in the branch, but not so much as to disturb the dam that my husband's grandchildren built with sticks last summer. It holds.
Hank the dog has renewed energy and gives the squirrels chase. From my chair I watch, and listen as Iris' trembly voice echoes like life from hill to hill. She's bona fide country, and sounds just right.
Last week I was at the opposite end of this mostly bosky state, down where the ocean laps live oaks and the light has a different and ethereal quality. I can never decide what I love most – the bright coast or the dark hills. The nice thing, I can visit both.
Fall makes me melancholy. I remember the dear but dead, a population that keeps growing. I can't seem to concentrate on current events, which at my age have a repetitious quality.
In my younger, more ambitious years, I'd be writing about the presidential contest, as clear a choice as ever I remember. I would have weighed in on the debates and the debacles, the lies and the noise. Talk about barrels full of fish.
But the white men in gray suits seem to have political commentary covered; the same ones who were writing when I was a newly minted reporter are pretty much still in place on the op-ed pages of America. Propped up for show, like ailing Soviet leaders who won't go away, they wax philosophical. The political wags I admire most are gone now. Mike Royko, Molly Ivins. What would they say?
I might be inspired to comment if the late Harold Johnson – the only person with whom I agreed 100 percent politically – were still around. A wise man who worked in an Alabama textile mill seven days a week, Harold would be characterizing Mitt as a silk-stocking Republican.

The Kiplinger 100: Best Values in Public Colleges: Binghamton University ranked in top 10
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University is once again ranked among the nation's top ten, according to Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's new list of 100 Best Values in Public Colleges.
For the third year in a row, Binghamton is ranked No. 1 for out-of-state students, making it the most affordable university in the nation for non-New York students. Binghamton is also ranked sixth for in-state students making it the top buy for New Yorkers. The annual public school rankings appear in Kiplinger's February 2011 issue-on newsstands Tuesday, January 4, and online at www.kiplinger.com/tools/colleges.
"I am very pleased that Binghamton University has once again been recognized for its academic excellence and value," said Interim President Peter Magrath. "We consistently rank among the elite public institutions because of our excellent reputation and the quality of our students, faculty and staff. Binghamton works very hard to be an exceptional university and these rankings validate those efforts."
Selected from a pool of over 500 public four-year colleges and universities, the Kiplinger's rankings combine a first-class education with outstanding economic value. Measurements on academic quality, which account for about two-thirds of a campus' score, include factors such as SAT or ACT scores, admission, retention and graduation rates, and student-faculty ratios. Schools are also ranked on total expenses as well as average costs after aid and average debt.
According to Kiplinger's, private colleges have recently averaged almost $36,000 a year - a sharp contrast to the public schools on the top 100 list, in which 20 charge the same or less than the average annual in-state sticker price of roughly $16,140. Plus, the deals aren't restricted to in-state students. At Binghamton University, which takes the top spot in value for out-of-state students, non-New Yorkers pay $26,535 a year, less than the national average of $28,130.
Other public universities on Kiplinger's top ten best values list include the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Florida, the University of Virginia, and the College of William and Mary.
Binghamton University has appeared regularly in the top ten on Kiplinger's Personal Finance best values in public college rankings and consistently features among the elite top 50 public national universities in publications such as the U.S. News & World Report, the Fiske Guide to Colleges and the Princeton Review.

Advanced Search PageFriday, January 30th, 2009
We have been notified that the tabs containing Limits, Preview/Index, History, Clipboard and Details will be going away. We don't know when but it could be soon. The Advanced Search page is where you will find all of these functions now. In addition, a link to the Clipboard will display on the homepage, next to the search box, after selections have been sent to it.
This posting summarizes what you will find on the Advanced Search page. There are new sections in addition to the areas that cover the content of the tabs.
The familiar sections:
- The History section is at the top of the page just below the single search box. The default shows five searches but this can be expanded by clicking the MORE HISTORY button or reduced back to the first five by using the LESS HISTORY button. If items have been sent to the Clipboard then the last item on the list, numbered zero and highlighted in green, will connect to the Clipboard.
- The Limits section is mostly the same. The various groupings have been reorganized a bit and the dates section as not been included at this time. The journal and author component is covered in the multiple search box section.
- The Preview/Index section is at the bottom of the page. It is now called Index of Fields and Field Values. You can still make multiple selections there by using the shift or control keys.
The new sections:
- The section titled Search by Author, Journal, Publication Date and more contains multiple search boxes. The default is set to the fields listed previousl but these can be changed by using the drop down menus. The author and journal fields have the auto-complete feature. Additional citation related search boxes can be displayed by selecting the Add More Citation Search Fields found below the three search boxes.
This section is meant to replace the single citation matcher that is now found in the blue sidebar on the homepage. Also in this section are links to the alphabetical indexes. They are located next to the individual search boxes. Note that in this area you can only select one term/phrase at a time.
- The Queries section, found at the bottom of the page, contains links to Clinical (Clinical Queries) and Topic Specific (Special Queries) pages, as well as the MeSH and Journal databases.
The Advanced Search page does have it's own URL http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/advanced. Changes and improvements continue on a regular basis. The NLM Technical Bulletin will keep you up to date on the changes.

Minorities at fault for not being more involved
Last week, the Madison Metropolitan School District selected Jennifer Cheatham as the next superintendent.
The choice was not without controversy because the other finalist for the position, Walter Milton Jr., withdrew his application amid concerns about his background.
That led to questions from many about how the search was conducted. Ray & Associates, the firm hired by the district to perform the national search, apparently did not do its due diligence before suggesting Milton as a finalist.
This has nothing to do with the choice of Dr. Cheatham as the new superintendent. She needs and deserves our support.
As for many folks of color in this community, some of whom I've spoken with over the last several days, this was seen as yet another example of Madison talking the talk, but not walking the walk when it comes to diversity and inclusion.
The fact that there are very few prominent people of color in high-ranking positions in Madison is already an issue. To see a finalist for a prominent position that happens to be of color eliminated because of issues that anyone with a computer could have found quickly is disappointing.
When you consider the discussions about how we can increase the number of African-American and Latino students who graduate and move on to higher education, coupled with the requests before the search to think outside the box and to look at a diverse pool of candidates, it's easy to conclude why this could be seen as yet another black eye for the progressive image Madison tries hard to project.
There are folks in both the African-American and Latino communities who have been vocal about how this process went down. Some have blamed Ray and Associates, the Madison School Board, or a combination of both. But before we point the finger at anyone, we need to do one thing first:
Blame ourselves.
As an African-American man who has lived in Madison for 20 years, I can honestly say that our communities of color need to own this. This is our fault. We do this all the time. No matter the issue, whenever a decision is made that we feel affects us negatively, we complain.
We'll point the finger at others and blame them for why it happened. We'll accuse Madison of being tone deaf when it comes to issues concerning race and about how our voices aren't heard. But we need to be honest with ourselves. There's a reason why this happens.
We are not involved in the decision-making processes in Madison.
There are good people out there fighting the good fight, standing up for kids and the community. They run for office and sit on boards and committees. They aren't afraid of saying things that need to be said in a diplomatic, but firm way. But there are not nearly enough of us doing so.
To make the situation worse, we don't support them like we should. It's well past time for smart, capable, qualified people of color to get in the game.
If you don't like what's happening in your neighborhood or community, get involved. Be a positive agent for change. Sit on a board or committee. Run for local office. Support each other. Work with others to help make this community a better place for everyone.
Until we become engaged in what's happening in our community, decisions will continue to be made without our input. Or, we can continue to sit on the sidelines and complain when something happens that we don't like.
The way I see it, those are our only choices. Which one will you choose?

By Laura Tillman/The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi state workers are protesting legislative efforts to privatize the state's child support program.
Mississippi Alliance of State Employees President Brenda Scott says House Bill 1009 would likely cause state workers to lose their jobs. She says that the state tried to privatize child support services in Hinds and Warren counties in the 1990's, but that the private entity ultimately collected less money per case.
Scott says that private vendors will ultimately go after cases of overdue child support that are most lucrative, leaving low-income families underrepresented.
Scott wore a black veil as she spoke Tuesday, which she says symbolizes her state of mourning over a number of bills passing through the statehouse that will negatively impact state workers.

Veronica Heley and Free Books!
My apologies, readers, if any of you noticed my failure to post anything during the latter half of last week. We've been dealing with a family crisis involving my new granddaughter. We appear to be on the upswing now, praise God, but your prayers for her health would be sincerely appreciated.
Now, before we talk with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Small-Town Sweethearts, by Jean C. Gordon, is:
jrs362@ . . .
And the winner of the signed copy of Deception, by Lillian Duncan, is:
walkerbobo@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's revisit novelist Veronica Heley, author of False Report (Severn House, March 2012).
Veronica Heley is celebrating the publication of her 68th book having been in the business for 35 years. She is currently writing two lots of gentle crime stories; the Ellie Quicke Mysteries and the Abbot Agency series. She's also written some short stories, a straightforward biography of Saint Paul, some historical fiction, many articles and reviews, and lots of children's and resource books.
She's involved with her local church and community affairs, likes to break for coffee with friends and does the garden when she has time. She has been a member of a book reading club for 40 years, but has decided that life is too short to read depressing literature any more.
Oh, how funny, Veronica. I'm now in two book clubs, and I do love when we lighten up once in awhile!
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--I believe in chocolate when inspiration fails.
--I like to buy my clothes in Bruges, where they are accustomed to clients who like cream with their cakes.
--I prefer drinking beer to wine.
--I get cross when the powers-that-be change the Latin names of plants I've known since childhood.
--I love Sir Terry Pratchett's fantasy books – including those originally meant for children.
I love Terry Pratchett, too. His diagnosis of Alheimer's is a loss to everyone.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of False Report.
Bea Abbot is already worried that she's losing control of her domestic agency when she's asked to find some domestic help for an eccentric little musician falsely accused of murder. She doesn't realize how dangerous this might be until Jeremy – fleeing from attempts on his life – lands on her doorstep.
Researching the gang who'd used an attractive girl to entrap Jeremy, Bea finds traces of them throughout high society and realizes that some victims of the Badger Game may be uncomfortably close to home. Working through problems at the agency and in her extended family, she is hampered by Jeremy's single-mindedness in composing a song for pretty, dead Josie.
What is it about Bea that will make your readers care about her?
Readers identify with Bea because, while she is a successful businesswomen, she continues to mourn her departed husband and to nurture her dysfunctional family. She believes – as my readers do – in the application of common sense and mugs of sweet tea to problems.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
I'd love to see Imelda Staunton
or Sheila Hancock play Bea, because they can do vulnerability as well as authority.
Recently a friend gave me a book that provides links to online music meant to accompany the story at specific points in the plot. I thought that was an interesting idea. If you were to choose a song to be played somewhere within your story, what song would it be?
The little musician in the story composes a song to Josie as the plot unfolds. I could 'hear' it in my head, all the time I was writing this story. I only wish someone would set it to music for me.
What fun that would be! I imagine that's what happened for the author of the book I'm talking about. What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
I'm re-reading Sir Terry Pratchett's Thud! at the moment. Jokes that you don't see coming, a likeable hero and a cracking good plot. As he has Alzheimer's, I can only hope that he'll be able to go on producing tales of this calibre for many years to come.
What are you working on now?
Another Bea Abbot, provisionally titled False Alarm. A tycoon believes his almost-fatal fall down the stairs has been engineered by one of his executives – while Bea is picking up different signals from his wife.
Where else can readers find you online?
My website is at www.veronicaheley.com
Readers can also sign up to receive my monthly newsletter, by pressing the button on the home page of the website.
The book can be found in fine bookstores and can be purchased online via these buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
I plan to make some of my out-of-print books available for E-readers but can't decide which to do first; a historical romp, a modern romance/suspense or one of my Christian children's books. Any preferences?
Thank you, Veronica, for visiting with us and telling us about your novel. Readers, Veronica has offered to give a signed copy of her book to the winner of our drawing on Monday, February 13. To enter, leave a comment below in answer to Veronica's question, above. "Please enter me" won't get you entered. Leave your email address, in case you win, like so: trish[at]trishperry[dot]com.

And I'd love it if you'd connect with me on Facebook. Just click on my name at the right of today's post.
Annoying legal disclaimer: drawings void where prohibited; open only to U.S. residents; the odds of winning depend upon the number of participants. See full disclaimer HERE.

Prayers for the grandbaby! I hope she continues to improve.
I'm not an e-reader, but I'll always pick a historical first. :)
I also agree wholeheartedly about chocolate. My hips prove it.

Trish, we will be praying for your granddaughter and family.
My preference in E-reader format would definitely be a modern romance/suspense story. I use ebooks when I workout, and a good mystery always keeps me engaged. :)

Modern Romance/Suspense. :)
Praying for your granddaughter, Trish. It's so hard to see kids sick.

I love both a historical romp, and a modern romance/suspense story so either would be OK with me. Thanks for stopping by to chat and share with us.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter giveaway.

Penny has a lump approximately 3 inches in diameter on her left loin. It feels like it is located under her spine right in front of her pelvis and is bulging out on the left loin just slightly, forming a lump that can be felt and just barely seen. It does not feel like a fatty tumor. The vet thinks she may have a chiropractic issue because she has pain on palpation, but he is stumped because the pain seems to come from a general area rather than just the spine. He gave me a referral to a doggy chiro.
Penny has a limp in the left hind leg and has muscle atrophy in that limb from favoring it. She is careful how she lays down and gets up, but she lays on each side equally and even sometimes flat on her back with her feet in the air. She does not stand with her back hunched up or saggy. When I take her for her twice daily walks, she heads out at a brisk trot and I have to jog to keep up with her. She only slightly limps at a trot and she will gallop if I let her. When retrieving marks she will fly off the line and run with gusto, no signs of pain or limping until we get back in the house.
I am having little red flags in my mind, something that is saying to me "It's maybe not a spinal issue". She is just too active and twisty-turny. She has been in the field almost every day of her life either hunting or training. So I wonder if it could be a foxtail that had migrated some time ago and been walled off, creating a large mass that is pressing upward on the spine? Or maybe lodged in the spinal column itself?
I am hesitating to have her undergo chiropractic if it could be a foxtail issue. Should I ask my vet to x-ray her for a possible foxtail first, or is my theory highly unlikely?

Luckily, Raph posted me my passphrase... so all is well. Im not sure what happened, because when I loaded up netscape yesterday, It said I wasnt logged in. after Raph had sent me my passphrase, I fired up nutscrape, and tried going to my account page.. which worked - dont know what happened. Either way, I now know my passphrase again.
I've started reading a textbook for one of my classes, "Operating System Concepts" by Silberschatz and Galvin. It is proving relatively interesting.
Some evil Genius wrote a driver for the H+. Im happy. I can now play audio via the sound chip on the card. (the audio chip has a /dev entry, so, just symlink dsp to it, instead of dsp0 (alsa)) - Hopefully the author will have the vga overlay thing done soon.
Woot, when you get a SO, you are going to be putting an ultimatum on me. I'll have to get one too. Geeze, that makes it sound like SO's are objects.
ramble ramble.. oh yeah, now I know what Culus looks like! BAHAHAHA!

Not Star Wars news (although I did see a full set of Clone Commanders - red, blue & green - at the Raymer Target this afternoon,) but for those collecting Iron Man, I found the gold Mark 1 (which had scratched paint so I left it behind,) and an employee pulled a case for me which had the Battle Monger, Subterranian Iron Man, Lava / Magma Iron Man, and Hot Zone Iron Man. So now I need to find a case with the Gold Mark 1, Blue Iron Monger, and Aquatic Iron Man!
I ordered 2 Bail Organas, 1 Breha Organa, and 1 FX-6 from Hasbro.
I'm basically done for the year I think.
That comic pack with the new Quinlan Vos and Commander Faie might show up.
But there's no other toys I'm planning to buy right now unless SideShow surprises us once again (My Rebel Fleet Trooper and Utopau Clone are on-order).
Now I might actually go to Target and Wal-Mart and not even bother going to the toy isle.
Glendale Target had Breah Organa, Bail Organa, and Stass Allie, I stashed them rather unenthusiastically.
Culver City Target had a single Clone Wars Jedi Starfighter, I bought it. The whole front middle of the ship pulls out, basically it becomes an R2-D2 fighter. I haven't opened it yet, been trying to get a few things done so I can.
Burbank TRU had a single Transformers Universe Ironhide, I bought him, turned out he had bum paint (missing window section) and the blue face.
La Cienega TRU had a few 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime ripoff sets. The red doesn't even match the other red! How can you do classic Prime and look so bad? Easy pass at $70!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Looks like my Target (La Cienega) tip a couple days ago helped somebody out there (lurkers?). All the GI Ultimate BPs (except one really banged up one) and all the Clone Wars Target exclusive BPs are gone.
Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
Has anyone been to the ghetto Crenshaw Walmart lately? I'm wondering if they have gotten the DC Universe Metallo wave 5 exclusives yet?
Finally found a GI Joe UBP at Alhambra Target. There is already endcap space dedicated to them there. I found a JLU Sinestro there as well. They had an entire endcap for the Transformer exclusives. TF fans will OD on so many exclusives in one spot.
I saw the new wave last night and I just couldn't get myself to even take one off the peg. Its still fun to look. I just wish there was more OT to see and buy. With that said there's still apart of me that wants to collect them all.

text: Sig had a dog, please forgive my spelling, Les Coup De Grace (Tiger) out of Corky. He became and FC-AFC but developed a problem of picking the feathers from a bird. You never knew when it would happen, usually the last series. He would put one foot on it and pluck the bird in the field on the way back with it. Feathers would fly but the duck would come back naked. Sig would take Tiger with him to work and would train him during the noon hour. This dog was an awesome lining dog and in those days this was something that was pre collar and hard to achieve One of those people in the history of the game that gave back so much. His judging talent and bird placement was awesome, he was so involved with the Madison Retriever club for so many years, his wife was field trial secretary and cocktail party hostess and work for so many years - any of you people out there that remember those days of camping at Madison trials and the parties - including close to midnight pheasant breast cooking on the grills. A true legend in the game and proud to me a friend for over 40 years.

Gartner: 80 Percent of Businesses Will Never Adopt Windows 8
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Analysts argue Windows 8 does not bring a compelling set of features for business users, drawing Vista comparisons
Windows 8 lands on Friday, and with it the big question of whether the consumer-friendly operating system is as good a fit as previous versions of Windows, which were more stodgy and business-minded from an interface perspective.
I. Businesses May Not Want Windows 8
While there have been some opinionated folks
the merits
of Windows 8
for business users, the greater sentiments of the business community towards the upcoming product remain largely unknown. Currently an estimated 41 percent of the world's 1.5 billion PCs run Windows XP. In other words, in the near term, many businesses are still working on their Windows XP to Windows 7 transition plan and have
little thoughts on Windows 8 adoption
Analysts are still busily debating the merits of the upcoming Microsoft Corp. (
) OS product, whose
early adoption rates are trailing those of Windows 7
Michael Cherry
in a recent briefing, "Some organizations, when they look at Windows 8 Intel tablets, they are going to like them because they are manageable. When they look at RT they are going to be disappointed, because it's no easier to manage than an iPad."
In other words, x86 tablets -- like those bearing Intel Corp. (
) chips -- may bear an advantage for businesses over current tablets, but Windows RT tablets (built with ARM chips) will likely not.
Gartner, Inc. (
) analyst Michael Silver says he expects Windows 8 to never catch on to the extent of Windows XP or Windows 7, even years down the road. He comments, "We believe 90 percent of large organizations will not deploy Windows 8 broadly, and at its peak, we expect about 20 percent of PCs in large organizations will run Windows 8."

Doug Johnson, head of risk management policy at the
American Bankers Association
, similarly argues to
, "Windows 8 is, frankly, more of a consumer platform than it is a business platform, so it's not something that makes any sense from a business perspective at this juncture. There is really no additional business functionality that Windows 8 gives you that I see."
II. Does it Matter?
Increasingly Microsoft's revenue stream is
driven by licensing software
(such as Office and SQL Server 2008), rather than licensing operating systems. Last year OS sales only accounted for 25 percent of Microsoft's bottom line versus 30 percent five years ago.
And a large portion of OS revenue -- roughly 40 percent -- comes from bulk licensing agreements with free upgrade provisions. For that type of licenses, IT departments' decision to adopt or pass on a particular version of Windows makes no difference, as long as the business is using some version of the OS.
In other words, as murky as Windows 8's business fate may be, the impact of those long-term sales on Microsoft's bottom line is even more unclear. That said, the general air of skepticism from business users is a concern for Microsoft in the long term, and definitely something Microsoft will (or, at least, should) take into acount when crafting Windows 8's successor.
"And boy have we patented it!" -- Steve Jobs, Macworld 2007

Bend gravity to your will and chase down another platinum trophy with these hints from the PlayStation Community.
Free-flowing and very topsy-turvy, Gravity Rush is one of the most stylish adventures on PlayStation Vita – and it's available to download at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus members until 17 July 2013. It provides a truly dizzying platinum trophy hunt, so find your centre of gravity with these expert tips from the PlayStation Community.
"A wonderful game, I fell completely in love with it. My advice? Play the game to enjoy the story and explore its boundaries. Almost all the trophies are linked to the story, so the more you explore the town of Hekseville and upgrade Kat – the heroine – the higher your trophy count becomes." (Magiia, Italy)
"The idea of the mysterious couple in the 'Lost in Time and Space' trophy is great: a scientist's experiment goes wrong and sends his wife into another dimension. The couple pop up once in each area, usually in a far-flung corner or quiet, secluded spot. Find and listen to them whenever you enter a new area to hear the whole tale." (gameshero46, France)
"The most difficult trophy for me was 'Burning Game Hunter', set in a giant fiery arena. You must dodge this rare, angry Nevi's attacks, yet you must be careful not to let Kat glide into the walls, otherwise you'll burn her. It's a good idea to upgrade the Gravity Kick skill to gain the upper hand – or foot." (ShadowhunterrX, Netherlands)
"Gravity Rush is one of the most beautiful gaming experiences of the last year and I enjoyed playing it to get the platinum trophy. I can only recommend that everyone try to enjoy the game fully even if some of the challenges cannot be mastered straight away. It might even be better to leave the challenges until you have completed the game, as by that point Kat will be at the peak of her skills." (ENIX87, Germany)
"Awesome game, it's really well designed and a perfect fit for PS Vita. The art style, music and sense of speed and movement are amazing. One thing I really like about the trophies, and it's not necessarily related to chasing the platinum trophy, is how the trophy icons in each PlayStation Store add-on pack combine to make up an image of a special costume, if you scroll from top to bottom." (CassyChan, UK)
"I really enjoyed the 'All That Glitters' trophy, which asks you to achieve a gold medal in every challenge. It's a nice idea that makes you want to revisit the game to beat both your own best scores and those of your PlayStation Network friends. It's a good idea to download the three add-ons – the Spy Pack, Maid Pack and Special Forces Pack – which each come with two new challenges. These are quite a bit trickier than the challenges from the main game. Luckily, you can also bump up Kat's powers in each new pack to give you a better chance of landing the 'All That Glitters' trophy." (Alaruusi, Finland)
Next time...
We plant our feet firmly on the ground in Sleeping Dogs on PlayStation 3, the story of an undercover cop's infiltration of the notorious Hong Kong Triads. Head to community.eu.playstation.com and tell your fellow gamers how you rounded up every trophy in the game. We'll publish the best advice right here.

(interferon beta-1b) Subcutaneous Injection
BETASERON (interferon beta-1b) is a purified, sterile, lyophilized protein product produced by recombinant DNA techniques. Interferon beta-1b is manufactured by bacterial fermentation of a strain of Escherichia coli that bears a genetically engineered plasmid containing the gene for human interferon betaser17. The native gene was obtained from human fibroblasts and altered in a way that substitutes serine for the cysteine residue found at position 17. Interferon beta-1b has 165 amino acids and an approximate molecular weight of 18,500 daltons. It does not include the carbohydrate side chains found in the natural material.
The specific activity of BETASERON is approximately 32 million international units (IU)/mg interferon beta-lb. Each vial contains 0.3 mg of interferon beta-lb. The unit measurement is derived by comparing the antiviral activity of the product to the World Health Organization (WHO) reference standard of recombinant human interferon beta. Mannitol, USP and Albumin (Human), USP (15 mg each/vial) are added as stabilizers.
Lyophilized BETASERON is a sterile, white to off-white powder, for subcutaneous injection after reconstitution with the diluent supplied (Sodium Chloride, 0.54% Solution). Albumin (Human) USP and Mannitol, USP (15 mg each/vial) are added as stabilizers.
What are the possible side effects of interferon beta-1b (Betaseron, Extavia)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using interferon beta-1b and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- depressed mood, anxiety, trouble sleeping, restlessness, or thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
- bruising, swelling, oozing, or skin changes where the injection was given;
- weight changes, pounding heartbeats, feeling too hot or cold;
- fever, chills, body aches,...

What are the precautions when taking interferon beta-1b (Betaseron)?
Before using interferon, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to products containing human albumin; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: blood cell disorders (e.g., anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia), heart disease (e.g., angina, irregular heartbeat, congestive heart failure), liver disease, mental/mood disorders (e.g., depression, psychosis, suicidal thoughts), seizure disorder, thyroid disease, use/abuse of alcohol.

CASA: Lift your voiceTexas CASA, CASA of Travis County and CASA programs in Central Texas would like to partner with influential members of the community to raise awareness about the desperate need to recruit volunteers, specifically African Americans and male volunteers, to help children who are in the foster care system in and around Central Texas.
Court Appointed Special Advocates® (CASA) is launching a year-long campaign in Texas to partner with African American leaders to raise awareness and publicize the critical need for CASA volunteers. We believe that by working with pastors and community leaders we can search the hearts and souls of congregations and find an audience of worshipers who may be willing volunteers in an effort to help abused and neglected children in Central Texas.
We invite you to a very special event to learn more about CASA

About CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Research demonstrates that a one-to-one relationship between a child or youth and a caring, supportive adult can lead to positive changes in a young person's life. CASA volunteers are often the one constant in a child's life as he or she goes through the foster care system. Appointed by the court to represent the best interest of children in care, CASA volunteers are everyday people who have gone through intensive training and background checks and commit to making a difference in a child's life.
Regrettably, African American children represent 30 percent of the children in our state's care, though African American children represent only 12 percent of the general population. Of the more than 16,000 children removed from their homes and placed in the Texas child welfare system, approximately 5,100 were African American.
In 2011, CASA volunteers advocated for the best interest of African American children in court and beyond, but the numbers are staggering when it comes to need for African American volunteers. African American children comprised 22 percent of the foster children served by CASA, but only 8 percent of the volunteers were African American! Children without CASA volunteers tend to stay in foster care longer and don't get the help and services they need.
Together, through advocacy and partnership, we can we can make a difference. We can identify potential advocates who share the cultures of children served and who will ensure safe, permanent homes for African American children in Texas.
Attached are more staggering statistics of how African American youth are affected in the child welfare system.

Fugitive Mitchell Walck captured in Bismarck, N.D.
SPOKANE, Wash. - Fugitive Mitchell Walck was apprehended by police officers in Bismarck, North Dakota Tuesday morning, bringing to an end a three-day manhunt.
Bismarck is approximately 200 miles east from Glendive, MT., where Walck dropped off a woman he had kidnapped from her Rathdrum home last weekend.
Walck, 57, was arrested just after 12 p.m. Central Time Tuesday following a brief foot pursuit with Bismarck police officers that ended when they found him hiding behind a tree in a trailer park.
Bismarck Police Sergeant Mark Buschena said that a truck driver reported that a man entered his vehicle at the Oasis Truck Stop in Bismarck. The trucker told police he was returning to his truck when he got in and found Walck inside.
Walck reportedly threatened the driver with a handgun and then got out of the truck and ran to a nearby trailer park. Police arrived at the trailer park and an eyewitness directed them to the area where Walck was last seen. A perimeter was set up and officers found him hiding under a pine tree.
When he was taken into custody he had a 9mm handgun in his waistband. Police also recovered a 2005 Subaru Forester he had stolen from a Rathdrum resident after he kidnapped her last weekend.Fugitive Walck arrested ND
Walck is wanted in Idaho for allegedly opening fire on an Idaho State Police officer following a chase and foot pursuit in Rathdrum last weekend. He eluded capture though authorities did seize a stolen truck he was driving.
Walck later snuck into a home, took a 62-year-old homeowner hostage, kidnapped her, stole two guns and her car and drove the woman across Montana before dropping her off unharmed in Glendive, MT. near the North Dakota border.
She has since been returned home to Idaho safely.
In addition to the charges he's facing in Idaho, Walck is facing new charges in North Dakota for unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, terrorizing and felon in possession of a firearm.
He is currently being held by the Bismarck Police Department but will be taken to the Burleigh County Detention Center in Bismarck after the local police complete their investigation.
Walck wanted kidnapping to be a federal case
Long before Mitchell Walck's cross-country flight ended under a pine tree in a Bismarck, N.D. trailer park Wednesday, the FBI was putting together a federal case against him, one that Walck apparently wanted.
Walck, who is facing local charges in Idaho and North Dakota, is also facing charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Last Saturday, after the chase involving Walck, driving a stolen truck, and an Idaho State Patrol trooper ended when a spike strip disabled the truck, Walck fired a single shot at the trooper during a foot pursuit. The trooper pulled back, responding officers set up a perimeter but were unable to locate Walck, who they identified through items found in the stolen truck.
That afternoon, as a woman was letting her cat out of her house, a man approached her and, at gunpoint, forced her back inside her home. While holding her at gunpoint, Walck bathed, changed clothes, ate some food, stole two rifles and then, after nightfall, kidnapped the woman in her 2005 Subaru Forester.
Walck drove west into Washington, where he got on to Interstate 90 and headed east back into Idaho, across Montana and then drove into North Dakota. The victim asked him not to take her into North Dakota, to which he replied that he wanted to take her to as many states as possible to insure her kidnapping became a federal case.
In fact, throughout the drive, Walck told the victim his full name and made sure she memorized it, and told her that after he released her to only talk with the FBI.
He then turned around and drove west back into Montana, dropping her off in front of an Albertson's supermarket in Glendive Sunday afternoon, but not before telling her he intended to head to western Montana.
Staff members at the Montana Rescue Mission in Billings reported seeing a man matching Walck's description show up for dinner Tuesday night; that individual was gone by the time local police arrived.
He was arrested Wednesday morning in Bismarck.

The biggest news this week came from RISE, who announced a big 61kg matchup between LiverKick #5 ranked Lightweight Yuki and RISE 60kg champ Kosuke Komiyama at RISE 93 on June 9th. Also announced were 4 matchups featuring 2012 RISING ROOKIES Cup winners, most notably Yuya Fujita vs Shohei Asahara. Full write-up here.
The Hoost Cup added a pair of fights to their next event on June 16th, though they still haven't announced opponents for big names Saenchai, Yoshihiro Sato and Yuichiro Nagashima. At 59.5kg, DEEP*KICK 60kg champion Yuto Tsujide takes on Fukashi. Neither man has scored a signature win in his career, though Fukashi is coming off of a draw against Hikaru Machida. In the other matchup, 2012 K-1 Koshien champ Sho Ogawa takes on HIROKI. Ogawa is 6-1 in his last 7 while HIROKI is 3-0-1 in his last 4.
This weekend's GLORY 8 Tokyo had a small change, as Ryoji was forced to pull out of his bout with Yu Hirono. Replacing him is HEAT 70kg champ Danilo Zanolini. Although Zanolini is a late replacement, I feel like this is a more competitive matchup. Zanolini has won three in a row, most notably picking up a win over Soichiro Miyakoshi. Hirono has quietly been one of the better 70kg fighters in Japan with a 6-1 record since 2011 including wins over Takuro Moriya, Asami Zaurus and most recently Ichiro Morimoto at Road to GLORY Japan in March. The loss was a competitive one to Yasuhiro Kido.
Krush announced some participants for Krush.29 on June 16th, which already has the 4-man ISKA Lightweight tournament. Recently crowned 63kg champion Hideaki Yamazaki will participate in a non-title fight while MA Kick and WBC Japan Super Bantamweight champion Keisuke Miyamoto will take his second fight under the Krush banner. Brothers HIROYA and Taiga will also participate on the card, while 58kg tournament semifinalists Yuzo Suzuki and Shota Kobe will fight on the card, possibly against each other.
M-FIGHT added another WPMF Japan title fight to their already impressive Fist Kick X card, pitting Hikaru Machida against Takahito Fujimaki for the vacant WPMF Japan Super Featherweight title. Both men have struggled lately, with Machida winless in his last 5 at 0-3-2 and Fujimaki at 1-3-2 in his last 6. However, two of Machida's losses were by cut and the two draws came at a higher weight while Fujimaki split a pair of fights with MA Kick champ Yoshito Kajita and managed a draw against SHIGERU, though he lost in a rematch.
K-Spirit returns with K-Spirit 6 on June 9th, headlined by an RKA Super Bantamweight title match between Kunihiro and Tomo Arimatsu. Kunihiro opened a lot of eyes recently as he pushed MA Kick champion Keisuke Miyamoto to the edge in their title fight, but was only able to manage a draw. Arimatsu lost his most recent fight by 1st round knockout at RISE/M-1MC Infinity. These two fought once before in October of 2011, with Arimatsu winning a unanimous decision.
Muaylok 2013 1st: The main event saw WPMF Japan Super Flyweight champion Kiminori Matsuzaki defend his title with a 4th round cut stoppage against Nagata Haryi. Matsuzaki opened up a cut under Haryi's left eye and targeted it throughout the fight, causing the doctor to stop it. The win snaps a 3-fight losing streak for the 37 year old Matsuzaki and saves him from falling out of relevancy in one of Japan's most talented divisions. The co-main event saw Yuji Uwasawa claim the vacant WPMF Japan Flyweight title with a close majority decision over Yasuto Furuta on scores of 49-49 and 49-48(x2). Uwasawa bounces back from a loss to Ryuji Kato and although he won, this was Furuta's 4th straight loss, so it says more about Uwasawa than it does Furuta.
NKB - 2013 Human Bullet 2: The main event saw Yuhei Sato knock Taiji Yamauchi down three times in the 2nd round to win the vacant NKB Featherweight title.
K-1 veteran Masaaki Satake hinted that he may be running for a seat in the House of Councillors as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party in this year's elections, which are expected to be held in July. The House of Councillors is the upper house of the bicameral Japanese legislature, commonly known as the National Diet, and consists of 242 seats. The Liberal Democratic Party was in control of the government from 1955 to 2009, aside from an 11 month period from 1993 to 1994. It regained control of the government in the 2012 elections, gaining 175 seats and pushing their coalition majority to 325 of the 480 seats in the lower House of Representatives. Should he win a seat, he will serve a 6 year term and be up for re-election in 2019. I don't believe there are term limits for the House of Councillors. Satake should be well known to K-1 fans around the globe and especially in Japan. He competed in the inaugural K-1 Grand Prix in 1993 and in each one until 1999, excluding 1996, making it to the finals in 1994, the semifinals in 1993 and 1995 and the quarterfinals in 1997 and 1998 before passing the torch to Musashi in 1999 with an opening round loss. He also won the first two Japan Qualifying GPs in 1997 and 1998 without so much as breaking a sweat, going 6-0 with 4 knockouts across the two tournaments. MMA fans will also remember him for his ill-advised MMA career, where he went 1-8-1 in PRIDE and the 2001 and 2002 Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye events, largely due to his lack of a ground game. Some of his losses came to PRIDE stars Mark Coleman, Igor Vovchanchyn, Hidehiko Yoshida, Semmy Schilt, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Guy Mezger. Since his retirement, Satake has been managing a human resources development company in Kyoto. Satake is not the only celebrity who has been rumored to be running, as former prosecutor Masaru Wakasa, actor Daisuke Shima, newscaster Jun Ogura and gold medal Olympic gymnast Mitsuo Tsukahara have all either openly announced their intention to run or have been speculated to run.
