That we are intimate with the world is not news. That we have extended this intimacy to our tools is a reality; the idea that we are becoming cyborgs is already here.
There is nothing mysterious or futuristic about being a cyborg, part machine part biological organism. Using our smartphones to remember our appointments, a long list of telephone numbers, addresses and shopping lists is a cyborg activity. The extension and externalization of our memories in electronic devices makes us de-facto modern day cyborgs.
Deploying devices to upgrade and extend our insufficient neuro performance is only part of what we do as cyborgs. We use these extensions for training, for life tracking, for calorie counts, for sleep, you name it, there's an app for that. But lest we forget, we also have our loves, our cares and our motivations to deal with, our desires both of the flesh and of our imagination. Also these are slowly coming into this symbiotic relationship.
The accelerated tooling times we are living in, allow us to gradually expand the notion of what it means to be human. For, make no mistake; we are far from being similar to our ancestors. A modern day, urbanized, cyberneticaly hyperconnected human, exists in a state of interdependence and sense extension, the like of which no one could have predicted.
We have a new relationship with technology, one we truly cannot extricate ourselves from, and this changes everything. Cyber technologies and information science have brought to bear, not a new tool but a new world with which to be intimate, a cyberspace horizon of potentiality that extends into the material world.
What happens when these cyber-technologies, broaden our nervous system, into other nervous systems, weaving us with the emergent nervous system of the Internet?
Virtually Yours – Techno Desire and Virtual Sex
A plethora of new technologies offers us a wide swath to expand our sensations and emotions into, and our desires and hidden imaginary wishes. Virtual worlds such as second life already thrive, but a growing segment of virtuality is directed, how else? Into sex.
Red districts offering every conceivable sexual wish, from the Toy Slaves Brothel (NSFW), to Fantasy Escorts (NSFW), are here for the take. One of these virtual worlds, appropriately named Red Light Center, (NSFW), carrying the tag line: "EXPAND Your Fantasy", is modeled after Amsterdam's red light district and claims a few million users.
Now come the tough questions of course: "is it infidelity to have sex in virtual worlds?" when no 'real' sex has occurred? It is hard to come by numbers, but it does make sense that for many it will be considered as such, creating novel situations where the 'competition' is an avatar. The ubiquitousness of cyber sex virtual worlds is however only part of the story. It is still you, probably alone, clicking on a button, playing a game.
Enter Synesthesia, literally the coming together of sensation (from the Greek Syn- together and Aesthesis – sensation), a term, which may well denote that which we are experiencing and will increasingly experience as the electronic tools at our disposal evolve. Though the experience of Synesthesia is anything but common and is considered to be of genetic origin, its idiosyncratic nature is what makes it so convenient and adaptable to the extension of our senses via technology.
In fact new developments in haptic technologies, especially those involving vibrotactile feedback, will soon allow us to 'really' feel objects in virtual worlds, to feel, to sense and to enjoy the pleasures provided. Feeling the coldness of steel, the weight of a rock or the warmth of a body in a virtual world, is a revolution of the senses, the like of which we have not yet seen. For once the stream of impressions coming to our nervous system is no longer subject to the immediate, the possibilities open to our perceptual apparatus are limited by imagination only, and that we have abundantly.
Once the new mesh of Haptic and Synesthesia comes together the avatar of our own making, will be able not only to see, but touch, feel and sense remote objects to a fullness of satisfaction, that will practically overwhelm us. One of these technologies already available is offering products such as the real touch award winning male masturbator (NSFW), which pledges to be the future of adult entertainment, followed closely by the Mojowijo (NSFW) promising: "The motions of one device are transformed into vibrations in the other, literally allowing you to share the mojo with anyone, anywhere in the world."
Though these devices are only the very beginning of what cybersex promises to be, a 'real' virtual alternative to common relationship, already their problematic implications abound. While Internet enabled sexual toys proliferate and multiple 3D online worlds offer everything from multiple partners, to every single imaginable fantasy one can have it is their descendents, which offer a real glimpse into the future.
The following is a fascinating excursion filmed, written, and edited by Tutsy Navarathna, NSFW but worthwhile watching. Navarathna: "This film is an investigation into the transformations that human relationships face when interacting in Virtual Worlds. Love and sexuality are on an important factor in any human relationships. However, what is new in Virtual Worlds is the ability to exercise those relationships without any real risk, external censure or imposition from an internal "super-ego". (NSFW)
The ever-present state of being a cyborg however is only a fraction of the story. The complete story we will know only in the fullness of time, today we will do well to look deep into our minds and ask ourselves what is it that we are becoming? What kind of human do we desire to be, and what is already available or is on the horizon for our use and transformation.
If online virtual cyber sex, extended via prosthetics, is the natural next step, then our evolution as cyborg beings is far from obvious. According to David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, not only is it the case that love and sex with robots is inevitable, but by 2050 the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots.
What happens when our emotional make-up is no longer a given and our sexual preferences receive a boost of new options never before encountered? What happens when our sensations can be amplified tenfold? What happens when 'cool' means- dating a Gynoid or Android?
To quote from Woody Allen:
"Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions."
Cyborg Love will be the theme, for the next part of this series.

DuPage County State's Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced Friday that Attempted Murder charges (Class X Felony) have been filed against Heidi Till, 45, of 329 S. Lincoln Street, Westmont, for allegedly firing a handgun at police officers.
Police say that in the early afternoon of June 1, Till called 911 and told the dispatcher that she had a gun and was going to kill herself.
Officers were dispatched to Till's residence where they say they found Till on the back porch of her home with a loaded handgun.
One of the officers briefly engaged Till in conversation before she allegedly opened fire.
Till allegedly fired the gun three times, the third shot while pointing the gun in the officer's direction.
Both officers then returned fire striking Till in her head and chest. Till was transported to a local hospital to receive treatment for her injuries. She has been home from the hospital for approximately one month and is confined to her home due to her medical condition.
"The allegations against Ms. Till are very serious and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Berlin said. "I would like to thank the Westmont Police Department for their outstanding work in this case. Because of their swift and professional response, Ms. Till was taken into custody before any innocent people were injured. I would also like to thank Assistant State's Attorney Ken Tatarelis for his efforts in holding Ms. Till accountable for her actions."
Till turned herself in to the Westmont Police Department this morning where she posted 10 percent of her $50,000 bail. She will remain confined to her home due to her medical condition, according to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office. Her next court appearance is scheduled for October 29 in front of DuPage County Judge Robert Kleeman.
"I would like to thank the Illinois State Police and DuPage County States Attorney's Office for their independent investigation of this incident," Westmont Chief of Police Tom Mulhearn said. "I am very grateful that no innocent bystanders, residents and especially our officers were injured during this dangerous situation. We look forward to working closely with the States Attorney's office as this prosecution progresses."
A Class X Felony is punishable by up to 6 to 30 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant's guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government's burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
*The above was a media announcement from the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.

Oh, brother! Liam Hemsworth's actor siblings, Chris and Luke, were so fired up about the relationship between their little brother and Miley Cyrus, they staged an intervention with him in April.
"They want him to end the romance for good," a source tells Us Weekly. And apparently their words have made an impact. The couple of nearly four years, who got engaged last June, recently stopped making wedding plans and have been spending plenty of time apart.
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's love story
Take May 1: While the singer, 20, partied at Beacher's Madhouse in Los Angeles, the "Hunger Games" star, 23, hung out at Chateau Marmont. Though one source maintains the duo aren't done, another insider adds, "Liam's pulling away."
PHOTOS: Miley's hair evolution
In a recent interview with V magazine, Cyrus explained why she and Hemsworth spend so much time apart. "I'm not home with my boyfriend all the time. We work," she said. "I don't have time go to Starbucks with my boyfriend every morning. I wish I did, but I don't. I'd rather chill at my house and be there for the time I actually get to spend with him. And then I'm at the studio all day. He gets up to work out at 6:00 and I come home at 5:00 from the studio."
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus' very short shorts
And right now, her new album is her top priority. "I put this record before everything, and I've never done that with anything," Cyrus said. "I've put too much into this record to put anything else in front of it."

When Michelle Santos and Kunal Ganti were married Oct. 22 at , they had more than a traditional photographer on hand to capture their special day.
The couple's celebration was filmed by TLC for the station's reality show, Four Weddings. The show profiles four couples who compete to have the best wedding. The winning couple receives a honeymoon paid by the show.
Santos was invited to apply to compete following her attendance at a wedding show. After months of back-and-forth e-mails, a producer called just a few weeks before her wedding day to tell her that she had been accepted.
The episode will air at 9 p.m. Jan. 27 on TLC. Viewers will learn who won the honeymoon at the end of the episode.
Santos and Ganti will be cheered on by fellow parishioners at St. Mary, where Santos has attended Mass since she was a child. Ganti's mother was also a parishioner.
Rev. Denis Carneiro presided over their ceremony, which was coordinated by Tracy Friedman.
Mary Pietro sang during the ceremony; her daughters, Jessica and Kayla, were the altar servers.
The couple participated in St. Mary's marriage preparation program, FOCCUS.
"Our wedding day was, most certainly, the best day of our lives thus far, and we wouldn't have been able to have had such a flawless and blessed ceremony without the love and attentiveness of the most amazing Saint Mary staff. We're looking forward to seeing the church and all the great work that went into making our day so very special on the show," Santos said.

*There are two former Louisville high school players on the
IU team – brothers Forisse and Drew Hardin, who both played at Ballard High

CMCH Suggestions: Be a Media Role Model
The kind and amount of media parents use influences their children in many ways. Studies have shown that when children are very young, they may get distracted from their play if television is on in the background. Also, parents might not respond to their children as best they can if they are distracted by media.
Parents can model healthy media habits in a number of ways:
Parents are the ones who establish the home media environment. They decide how many TV sets are in the household, how often the TV is on, and whether or not children are allowed to have TV sets in their bedrooms.
All of these decisions strongly influence their children's exposure to media. Parents can promote healthy media use by keeping TV sets and computers in central locations and out of children's bedrooms and by turning TV sets off during mealtimes and when no one is watching.

My wife's bike had the EXACT same problems. The dealer also said to use stabil and dirty carbs. I know bikes and took the thing apart myself. The main jet is a 91.3 mikuni and is way too small. I changed the main to a 110 mikuni, shimmed the pilot needles with 1 number 4 size washer from Radioshack, and set the mixture screw to 3 turns after being fully seated. Put the bike back together and balanced the carbs with a homemade manometer. The bike warms up now in about 45 seconds and is no longer jerky at any speed, and you don't need to use hardly any clutch for 1st gear. NO DYING AT STOP SIGNS anymore!!!

WASHINGTON — A winter storm marched into the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday, dumping nearly two feet of snow in some places and knocking out power to about 250,000 homes and businesses. It largely spared the nation's capital, which was expecting much worse and had all but shut down.
Officials in Washington didn't want a repeat of 2011, when a rush-hour snowstorm stranded commuters for hours, so they told people to stay off the roads and gave workers the day off. Dubbed the "snowquester," the storm closed government offices, just as the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester were expected to do.
The storm pummeled the nation's midsection on Tuesday, killing at least four people in weather-related traffic accidents. It was forecast to head to the northeast on Thursday, bringing strong winds, more snow and the possibility of coastal flooding to New England.
In Washington, where as much as 10 inches had been forecast, the storm did little but drop harmless snowflakes that rapidly melted amid warmer-than-expected temperatures. Federal offices in the region will be open Thursday.
"They just say that it might snow and the whole city shuts down," said Sheri Sable, who was out walking her two dogs in light rain and marveled at how even the dog park she frequents failed to open at 7 a.m.
There were bigger problems elsewhere in the region, though.
Lashing winds blew off part of the roof of a Stone Harbor, N.J., condominium complex and Ocean City officials advised residents to move their cars to higher ground in preparation of possible flooding. Maryland's Bay Bridge, which connects Maryland's Eastern shore with the Baltimore-Washington region, closed in both directions, because of wind gusts of up to 60 mph.
A tractor-trailer overturned on the bridge and leaned against the guardrail. Kelly Kiley, an interior designer, was driving on the span soon after the accident.

If you're Jordan Zimmermann, what's the last name you want to hear right now? Dr. James Andrews. Unfortunately for the Nationals' rookie right-hander, an MRI of his injured elbow has been sent to the noted orthopedist, who will look at it Monday and recommend a course of action for the club and its top young pitcher.
Zimmermann, as you know, has been on the DL since July 19. He made a 3 1/3-inning rehab start for Class A Potomac on Tuesday but continues to experience elbow "discomfort." So the Nats had him undergo an MRI the other day. That MRI, according to acting GM Mike Rizzo, showed "some concerning facts." Team doctor Weimi Douoguih has taken a look at it. Now Andrews will look at it as well.
What does this all mean? Well, no one's saying it publicly yet, but it's looking more and more like Zimmermann won't be returning to pitch this season. Even if there's nothing significantly wrong with the elbow, why would they risk putting him back on the mound during a lost season? And if there is something significant … well, you know how long it takes to return from elbow injuries.
Rizzo was reluctant to speculate at all on what might actually be wrong and how long Zimmermann might be out. But when I asked him if his concern level remains the same today as it was a week ago, he replied: "No, it's ramped up since the last week."
As for Zimmermann, he's trying to take this all in stride and not get too worried. That said, he admitted he's "concerned." Ultimately, he's more focused on his long-term prospects than any short-term hope of returning to the mound.
"I'd like to finish this season out, but if they want to rest me the rest of the season and then come back next year strong, it's up to them guys, the front office, to figure that out," he said. "That's their call."

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will hold a public meeting on Tuesday to discuss the results of Interstate 270 Corridor Study on traffic and safety improvement options for a 12-mile stretch of Interstate 270 in North St. Louis County, which passes through the City of Hazelwood.
If you live in , or even Florissant or Black Jack, and have used the I-270 and Lindbergh interchange, you know that it no longer meets the increased traffic volumes in the area.
The Missouri Department of Transportation will report on the study conducted last year. and MoDOT staff will recommend solutions to address traffic congestion and safety concerns on Interstate 270 from McDonnell Boulevard to Route 367
The study process included public discussions and MoDOT staff appearances are area city council meetings to talk about the project.
The meeting will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Student Center Multipurpose Room at St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley, 3400 Pershall Road.
Larry Welty, MoDOT's North County area engineer, said residents and business owners have shared their concerns for years about congestion on I-270, especially during the evening rush hour at the February 16, 2011 Hazelwood City Council Meeting last year.
"From (James S.) McDonnell Boulevard to east of New Florissant Road, the traffic backups on roads approaching I-270 such as Lindbergh Boulevard, New Florissant and Route 367 are often mentioned by drivers," he said. "The entrance and exit ramps that require crossing oncoming traffic on Dunn Road are also a major concern."

SALEM — It's the beginning of the end for Salem's coal-burning power plant.
CSL Argosy delivered the last barge of coal yesterday to Salem Harbor Station, which is scheduled to close in May 2014.
The barge docked at 11:30 a.m. yesterday and will offload 50,000 tons of coal before leaving Salem Harbor this afternoon.
"Based on currently expected operations, we do believe that this will be the last ship (coal delivery), said Peter Furniss, CEO of Footprint Power, in an email to The Salem News yesterday.
New Jersey-based Footprint Power purchased Salem's power plant site last year and has filed plans with the city to build a natural gas power plant.
The 65-acre site is a deep-water port next to the city's ferry landing; it has been a power plant since the 1950s.
Deputy Salem Harbormaster Patrick Mulligan said everything was going smoothly as the barge docked yesterday.
Mulligan confirmed that yesterday's coal barge was the last expected delivery for Salem Harbor Station. The plant schedules all deliveries through the city harbormaster's office, which oversees the ship's landing and safety protocols.
Footprint Power plans to build a 670-megawatt, $800 million natural gas plant at Salem Harbor Station. Company executives have said they will close the current coal- and oil-fired plant next May, demolish some buildings, clean up the property and open the new plant in June 2016.

Mmm-mm-mm! As this recipe's first reviewer I can happily report that it is a winner! These are soft pillows of sugar cookie goodness, frosted with the most luxurious creamy, billowy buttercream. Melt in your mouth, not too sweet and pretty too. Perfect in my mind. Except… it's a good thing that rolling out sugar cookies isn't my thing and I had planned to roll these into balls and flatten them all along. This dough is so soft and so gooey that there is no way you could roll it out if you follow the recipe as written. And, since the dough is made with shortening, refrigerating it would do nothing to firm it up. If you are hell bent on rolling these out, you'll have to add more flour. A better option? Just roll these into about 1" balls, roll in sugar, then flatten to about 1/4" with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. For soft cookies, bake until set but before they begin to turn brown around the edges.
Definitely a keeper. For the comments the batter was too sticky, I put in it the fridge for about 30 minutes. Stiffened it up and the rolling was easy. Thank you!
Great cookie! Pillowy soft! I used butter instead of shortening, decreased the salt to a half tsp. and used half of the frosting. I agree with the previous reviewer that these cookies are way to sticky to roll, so I used a round cookie scoop and dropped them directly onto the cookie sheet. My cookie scoop was quite large so I baked them for 14 minutes while not over baking! They were not at all flat and looked beautiful after frosting and topping with fall sprinkles.

Three exotic supercars. One of the most spectacular natural wonders in the West. Our Red Rock Experience brings them both together in a 30-mile round-trip tour from Las Vegas to the stunning Red Rock Canyon. Just like that, your exotic car dreams are coming true.
During this all-new driving experience in Las Vegas, you'll arrive at our starting location just off the Las Vegas Strip. After a short safety briefing from our instructors, you'll drive three high performance exotic cars on an open road driving experience through the historic (and jaw-dropping) Red Rock Canyon - rotating through each supercar and returning to your starting point.
Don't take our word for it! Find out why World Class Driving is the highest rated driving attraction on TripAdvisor:
Our exotic car tour fleet contains the latest models of the hottest supercars on the market, such as the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia, 2011 Lamborghini LP570-4 Spyder, the 2011 Audi R8 V-10 and many more. (We reserve the right to substitute a comparable supercar from our fleet in the case of maintenance.)
World Class Driving is the original exotic supercar experience. Since we launched in 2006, over {snippet|participantcount} participants have trusted us to provide a memorable and thrilling exotic car driving experience.
The Red Rock Experience is available for $499 (plus a $6 BLM Park Use fee). Bring a guest/non-driving passenger for an additional $99. Or, bring an a second driver for an additional $149; you'll share the driving. (We suggest a spirited round of rock-paper-scissors.)
In addition, most other providers offer solo experiences. Our experiences are designed to comfortably allow you to bring a guest passenger on your experience. Your guest will ride with you for the entire experience. Share your passion!
You may also share the drive with someone else for an additional fee. During the shared drive, you and your friend will "split" the driving, with Driver 1 driving two vehicles, and Driver 2 driving the remaining vehicle(s). In the case of a three-car experience, we recommend a spirited round of rock-paper-scissors.
Don't take our word for it. Read the unbiased reviews from previous Red Rock Exotic Driving Experience participants.
"Great staff and service!"Raj P., Compton, USA (July 13, 2014)
"A must do for anyone going to Las Vegas. A memorable experience. "Gordon R., Ermington, Australia (July 13, 2014)
"Amazing experience with awesome cars! Was a total blast!"Douglas J., Frisco, USA (July 12, 2014)
"One simply word. AMAZING!! it was a gift for my dad... And he still cant believe it. He and I just loved it. The treatment of their people... The cars... The road, the opportunities to just pull the accelerator and fly in that audi R8!! Seriously... You got to try that car I loved it... Even more than the Lamborghini and the Ferrari Italia I were in the copilot and I just want to say thank you for that amazing experience. I'm from México and that was not a problem with them. TODO perfecto!! Volveremos pronto! Pero ahora si manejare yo!"Jesus M., El Paso, USA (July 12, 2014)
"It was fantastic. To feel the power of the cars out on public roads, get the looks from other drivers, and the smiles I had the whole time. I have done the NASCAR experience and the Exotics racing experience both on closed tracks, but nothing compares to driving all that horsepower through regular traffic. To know you can pass and get around anyone so easily and to listen to the exhaust notes the Ferrari Italia and the Lamborghini Performente sing, just an unforgettable moment."Dean A., Aurora, USA (July 11, 2014)
The Red Rock Exotic Driving Experience will give you a new respect for the capabilities of the supercar fleet. Here's a typical event schedule. Your actual event times depend on which time slot you reserve:
The experience begins with a welcome at the World Class Driving Dream Garage, where you'll check in.
You'll participate in a short safety briefing. We'll introduce our WCD driving professionals, who are dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.
We'll take you on a short shuttle ride to our starting location just east of the famous Red Rock Canyon west of Las Vegas, Nevada.
After a short instruction on the operation of the vehicles, you'll take a seat behind the wheel of your first supercar, and follow the lead car through a carefully selected desert road through the Red Rock Canyon area. At regular rest stops, you'll stop and be directed to your next car, rotating through each of the three cars over the 30 mile road tour.
Bring your camera, as we'll make sure to point out some particularly photographic sections of the route.
Our complimentary shuttle will return you to your hotel or the Dream Garage.

Dog saves itself after falling through ice
City discourages people from walking on Sturgeon River
By: Amy Crofts
| Posted: Saturday, Jan 18, 2014 06:00 am
Outdoor ice safety tips:
• These sites are natural ice surfaces and injuries can occur due to ice conditions and natural and unnatural hazards such as uneven surfaces, cracks in the ice, holes, rocks, weather conditions and other skaters.
• Skaters use these surfaces at their own risk. Please check the ice each time before you skate.
• It is recommended you skate with a partner and dress appropriately for the weather.
It was a typical afternoon walk for St. Albert resident Tim and his dog Misty … that is until Misty fell through the ice and into the Sturgeon River.
Tim, who requested not to have his last name published, was walking his 14-year-old Labrador retriever on Tuesday around 1 p.m., on the ice behind St. Albert Centre.
"We were walking in the middle of the river and she headed for the other side – the bank – and I was following her and was about 20 feet behind her," explained Tim. "Before I could get to her, basically half her body was submerged in the water."
Misty had fallen through a soft spot of ice near an outfall, where run-off from the city's roadways drains into the river. Tim stopped and didn't go any farther.
He called for help and yelled at her to keep trying to get out.
"When I realized that wasn't doing anything, I ran home and told my wife to call 911. I grabbed some ropes and thought I would come up with some miracle-type saving of her life," he said.
But when Tim got back, Misty had already managed to pull herself out of the hole.
"I didn't save her. I was certainly going to try, but I wasn't the hero. She got herself out."
After a hot shower, the 14-year-old Lab was as good as new. Just hours after the ordeal, she was begging Tim to go for another walk.
Tim, however, will be steering clear of the Sturgeon from now on.
"I'm not going to be walking on the river in the winter. There are just too many different things to watch for and I can't prevent that from happening again," he said.
Freak winter
By the time the fire department arrived, Misty and Tim were already back at their Braeside home safe and sound.
Fire chief Ray Richards said this is the first ice related call the fire department has received in several years.
"The fortunate thing about the incident that occurred was that it was on the Sturgeon River, which is a very shallow river," he said, noting that shallow water can still present a drowning hazard for small children and animals.
The "freak winter" this year, he said, has resulted in a lot of runoff draining into the river.
According to the City of St. Albert, traditional temperatures would see ponds and basins frozen and inactive at this time of year, but the warm weather has created significant water flow from snow melt through the storm systems.
Retention ponds, such as the one by Fire Station No. 3 on Giroux Road, have become less stable due to the activity of running water entering from various culverts or surface drainage swales that feed it.
The city is therefore reluctant to open up storm ponds for public skating. Residents are encouraged to stay off the river, ponds and local lakes, as they are not safe for walking or skating.
"Generally people are pretty wise and do not take chances and stay away from the river and the ponds," added Richards. "Anytime there is open water or water standing on ice, you should not be out there."
Miracle dog
Misty has recovered from her fall unscathed, but it was a close call, admitted Tim.
"She got a new lease on life and today was another example of it," he remarked. His canine companion's hind legs were replaced with artificial joints last year.
"If those legs were crippled like they were a month ago, she wouldn't have come out of that hole. But her legs kept her going for 10 minutes straight, dog paddling. They saved her life."
In early December, Misty was unable to walk and was not responding to pain or arthritis medication. But within a matter of days, "it was like some kind of miracle occurred," noted Tim.
"The medicine started working, she started jogging with me … almost like she went back six years in time."
"She wasn't even supposed to be around this long. She's kind of a miracle dog."
He also owes Misty a debt of gratitude.
"If the dog hadn't fallen in and made it onto shore, I was next," he said. "In a lot of ways (she) could have saved my life."

I started off as an 11-year- old at my Uncle Martin's tennis camp.

Soft yellow paint coats the rounded corners of an adobe storefront lining the Las Vegas Plaza, giving sunlight opportunity to cast shadow against a recessed door. Delicate ristras, ochre paint clinging to the rough surface, echo a white sign offering burritos smothered in red or green. Nancy Philo's painting of JB's Tortilla Cones' facade offers a humorous zen koan, a painting of a painting.
"Las Vegas inspires me to paint," Philo muses, "the interplay of old and new, the unusual nooks and crannies. I can't imagine a better subject."
There are a lot of things which can be done to increase comfort, save money, and help protect the environment, all at the same time. Synergy Fest 2008 will feature a wide range of exhibits and activities revealing how those three aims—and others—are in "synergy."
On board this year is a variety of local and state government and educational agencies, many for the first time. There are many resources available to the community that readers may not be aware of. For example:
A Japanese monk lifted an empty teapot, passing an empty cup, ritualistically savoring bitter tea that no longer exists as a chorus of monks sang "though the bowl is empty, the scent glows."
Members of the Las Vegas Guild of the Santa Fe Opera leaned forward, let the music, as fine and enlightening as vapor from steaming green tea waft over them during the American premiere of Tan Dun's opera, Tea, last August in Santa Fe.
Las Vegas' Solid Waste Department is solidly behind recycling, and they would like residents to know about it.
Kelly Eversole, the departments' Keep America Beautiful Coordinator, says that the city is accepting recycled plastic, paper, cardboard, tin, steel, aluminum and e-waste, including computers, at the transfer station. There is no charge for recycling these items.
The city is already managing a large volume of recyclable materials. "We shipped out 109.56 tons of recycling from January through March of this year" Eversole said.
In a restaurant just around the corner from the Optic hangs a picture of John and Jacqueline Kennedy sitting on a boat of some sort, laughing and looking so happy, so carefree, that it's hard to believe they really existed. Eating lunch at a table across from this picture, I began to think about the American dream.
The Sangre de Cristo mountains loom between high desert and open plains, protecting a circular valley that once housed quiet ranchlands, an important stage stop on the Santa Fe Trail. Today the land is marked with blood, the site of the Civil War's "Gettysburg of the West," the Battle of Glorieta Pass.
Traveler's driving down Interstate 25 might notice a dirt drive housing a hand-painted red, white, and blue memorial, covered in eclectic messages.
The sound of the shutter surprises a nesting sparrow. Elena Gallegos points her camera at what seems to be nothing — a wisp of dried sweetgrass, a dusty stone, the crack between two slabs of concrete. She tries to steady her hands. Click. Click. The sparrow flits from one branch to another, curious, aware.
New Mexico Department of Agriculture announced today that funding will be available under the New Mexico Specialty Crops Program.
Funds are available to New Mexico organizations and individuals that have a long-term commitment to improving the economic viability of New Mexico's rural economy or have projects with a significant value-added potential.
Chickens are a godsend for organic gardeners and farmers. Needing only basic care, they sally forth into gardens, devouring with gusto pests such as grasshoppers and slugs which often decimate crops, and converting them into fertilizer and healthy, free range eggs and meat.
But can chickens be legally kept in the city of Las Vegas? I asked Thomas Garza, Las Vegas' director of animal control; Garza said that chickens can be kept in the city, and helpfully provided the City's Animal Control Ordinance, which has this to say about keeping chickens:

If you're coming to Danbury on Thursday for the Dalai Lama's 1:30 p.m. lecture, and you have some free time on your hands, you might want to consider a round of golf at Danbury's public golf course, Richter Park.
What is remarkable about this park is it is in Danbury, a city, but all you see on its fairways is beautiful fall foliage, lakes and a blue sky. The rain may arrive on Friday, so Thursday could be your best bet. The front desk is telling people they have some open tee times in the afternoon, mostly, but maybe a few in the morning as well. Both Thursday and Friday have openings.
A second spot worth a visit is Tarrywile, a park off Southern Boulevard that includes a stone castle, farm fields, ponds, and wide ranging vistas. The park offers long and short walks with some more challenging than others. The park and the parking is free.
Another option for more active recreation is Rogers Park, which includes tennis courts, a children's playscape, soccer fields and a football field. If you're not planning to arrive in Danbury with two entire teams, the tennis courts may be a better bet.
People visit Danbury to take in the 230-plus stores at Danbury Fair Mall at I-84's exit 3. The mall includes restaurants and stores, as well as a parking garage and plenty of open-air parking.
If it really does rain on Friday, and you're out of the lecture by 11 a.m., you might consider a film at Loew's Theatres at Interstate 84's Exit 7. The theatre complex has 16 screens.


text: What this goes to show is our media is two faced. They can't report the facts without showing favoritism if you have a different opinion from theirs if you do you get trashed. This was repeated the same information two times if they want to talk about somebody being a lamebrain they need to look in the mirror. I don't like the man either, so I'm sure this post won't make the light of day. The man is giving this country over to homosexuals. Africa American culture was founded on the good book now just because he has a tan it's OK for him to make us into a bunch of salves again. Check out what he has done for us then compare that to what he has done for homosexual movement. The media is the walking dead calling people names what give you the right to do that?

To repeat – the most violent rallies are within the context of corrections. The action of the past week is why you often see traders constantly try to catch falling knives. This is "violent". The NYSE Oscillator which a week ago was at a rare -90 is approaching +50 intraday as I type this, so it's done a complete 180 flip in a week's time …. 4 sessions really. Just a reminder, fully HALF of the two month swoon will be retraced at S&P level 1409.

Despite being saddled with a crummy title, Disney's The Emperor's New Groove turns out to be the studio's most sheerly pleasurable animated feature in ages. It appears to have been made not only for those of us who were sick to death of the tired old Disney formula, but by people who were sick to death of the tired old Disney formula; it attacks the studio's shopworn clichés with a vengeance that is both hilarious and utterly deserved.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers' strong season last year means hundreds of new trees are getting planted this year.
For every first down the team earned during last year's regular season, the Packers pledged to provide one tree for planting. That means 312 trees will be planted in Green Bay and neighboring areas.
The trees include sugar maples, hackberry, honey locust and flowering crab. They'll be planted in a number of towns and villages in the Brown County area.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the tree-planting program helped solve two issues. Its forestry division says local governments were looking for help in getting more trees planted, and the Packers were looking for a way to offset the 450 tons of carbon dioxide produced during travel to road games.

Quote:Well, there's always buying a scope for each of the eyepieces to house them........
I like the Pelican Storm cases. The Woodwonders are beautiful cases and well made....but if you're older, or not in good health, wood gets heavy pretty quickly.
Quote:I'm looking for a case to organize my eyepieces (15 or so), my camera adapters, A/C adapter, diagonals, visual backs, filters, etc.Any suggestions? What are you using? Post some photos?
Quote:Here it is with the top foam on it. I priced replacement diced foam and it's hard to find cheaply, so if I wanted to re-layout the case I'd probably just buy solid foam at a craft store and carve out the holes with a knife or scissors.
Quote:Being of very stingie scot decent, I opted for a very cheap but effective approach.I bought a few secondhand celestron eyepiece/accessory kit cases (less the accessories and eyepieces) on Ebay , turfed the less than protective low density foam inside and replaced this foam with high density high quality pluck n pull foam and hey presto, nice cases - astro photo gear case (autoguide, OAG, MCC, Lumicon CC/FF, and 50mm guidescope and some 2" filters- eyepiece case - barlow, tuneable top 2" coma corrector and visual stuff case - astrophoto lenses case (58mm f1.4, 135mm f2.0, 200mm f3.5, 25mm f2.5 and adapters and filters)May not be water tight, or air tight, but tough and protective from bumps, crushing, drops so they do the job.
Quote:I have both Pelican and Storm cases. While they are both amazing quality products, I prefer the Storm case(just by a little) because the latching system is a little easier to deal with. (Pelican now owns Storm but they still have distinct product lines)My favorite source for getting them is 4lessdepot.com. I really like B&H but the 4Lessdepot is in San Diego where I live, so I just pop over and pick it up.The equivalent Storm case to the Pelican 1600 is the Storm IM2700. Roughly the same price...check it out here...http://www.nalpak.com/Pelican-Storm-iM2700

The question has come up more often than I expected since we told the world about Peanut's arrival in my stomach. Are you going to stay at the Wagenplatz? our apartment-dwelling friends want to know. But besides the noise from concerts and parties in the house at the front of the property, I can't imagine a better place to raise a child. It's the "it takes a village" principle in living color. There's space to play outdoors. There are seventeen different people to talk to and learn from. It's not any smaller than most of the apartments I've lived in. And we have a hell of a lot more money then we would if we had to pay a normal rent. I can't think of a single reason to leave, no longer being attached to the luxury of having running water within arm's reach at all times.
And this, I am proud to announce, may be our future Kinderwagen:
We hadn't started looking for a Kinderwagen for the Peanut when we heard that one of our Platz-mates was planning on moving out and on next summer. The Plan is to house the three of us in the red trailer for Peanut's first months, so the potential wait is negligible. Assuming that all goes well on her side and ours, the Wagen you see pictured above is the future home of Peanut Stewart come summer 2012.
It will also be, I can only assume, the future subject of many a rennovation blog. It's in good condition (five meters long, metal siding, leaky roof with a not-leaky pond tarp covering it), but the walls are not insulated. And it is incredibly convenient. It's already here, and we're already lined up like three ducks in a row: trash house (my trailer and our future kitchen, my office, and guest space), the red wagon (future bed- and living room), and the Kinderwagen—strategically (luckily) placed the furthest from the noise of the house venue that has destroyed many a night of otherwise peaceful sleep.

Funny. The first thing I wondered was whether you'd need to move to a new Wagenplatz where you'd have a bigger/additional Wagen. Never crossed my mind that something as everyday (tongue firmly in cheek!) as a baby would sway you from your preferred choice of home.Comment by Moonwaves 09.05.11 @ 8:10 pm
Oh if I didn't have to be so frugal I would love love love to come visit the Wagenplatz when your Peanut is born!Comment by Frugal Vegan Mom 09.06.11 @ 5:28 am
Oh my goodness! Congrats! I'm late in catching on but that is so great for you guys. I'm sure any child growing up in an environment like that is going to have a blast. I know a family in the US with 4 kids and they are all living in a tiny RV, working off their debt. Their kids are doing just fine and it's definitely helping them to learn to work together better.
All the best! And screw the nay-sayersComment by Tiffany @ No Ordinary Homestead 09.06.11 @ 6:53 am
Moonwaves: Apparently you know us better than half of our friends then. The convenient thing about living on wheels is not needing to move anywhere to "buy another house." If we hadn't had the luck with this one, we would have bought one from somewhere else, carted it here, and squeezed it in somewhere.
FVM: That would be awesome. Damn frugalness. Damn airfare costs. I fondly remember the days when I round trip ticket cost at most 400 dollars. What lovely days were those.
Tiffany: Haha. I assume you knew after commenting on one of the posts where I talk about throwing up constantly! Haha, you probably aren't the only one who assumed that that had something to do with whiskey. But not this time. Have any spare kid's stuff you're looking to get rid of??Comment by clickclackgorilla 09.06.11 @ 11:45 am

Bara Brith on the Pampas: The Welsh in Patagonia
In 1865, a Welsh speaking colony was established in the valley of the Chubut River in Patagonia Argentina. The original emigrants sailed from Liverpool on the Mimosa and they were joined in the 1880s by a second wave of emigrants and a further colony was established in the foothills of the Andes. Although measures were later taken to remove some of the colonists to Canada and South Africa, most of the settlers and their descendants remained in Argentina. The National Archives holds a vast amount of material relating to this relatively unknown but fascinating episode in British history. This talk looks at the main records relating to the history and development of the settlement from the earliest days to modern times, and examines why the Welsh travelled to Patagonia, what they encountered when they got there, and how the colony developed over the years.
Researching your Italian heritage can be both fun and rewarding. It isn't difficult to do, and there are many resources to help you along. This class will give you an overview of the research process and the records and resources available to you.

St. Michael-Albertville School District residents have approved an increase school funding, but it wasn't easy.
With a record turnout for a single question ballot, school district-only vote, voters approved an increase in the district's so-called operations levy by $195 per pupil, or about $1.2 million per year.
The new levy, or "yes" vote, received 53 percent of the ballot, or 2,099 votes. The "no" vote received 47 percent, or 1,828 votes. There were 3,927 ballots cast in the election.
The results, released by the school district Tuesday night are considered unofficial until the St. Michael-Albertville School Board meets Monday evening to canvass the election. That meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. in the board room.
"We're very excited," said Superintendent Dr. Jim Behle Tuesday night. "Just very pleased to get the support."
Lines at both St. Michael-Albertville Middle School West and Middle School East were very steady the entire day. The line at East exploded as people arrived home from work, with a line out of the gymnasium door for a short time after 5 p.m.
But by 7:30 p.m., Middle School West was mostly cleared.
Workers spent the last two hours reconciling the tapes from ballot machines and counting the absentee ballots. Suzanne Gallagher, an administrative assistant with the district, estimated about 100 absentee ballots were cast.
The breakdown for how these new funds would be used, according to the district:
• $500,000 per year to make up for lost federal funding, which will take effect next year
• $300,000 to maintain current technology offerings and keep it up to date
• $300,000 to $400,000 to cover inflationary costs like utility and transportation costs as well as to perform maintenance and repairs on school buildings.
The guidelines were determined by a levy committee made up of board members, staff, teachers, parents and general community members. The committee suggested this levy amount because of its prudency, sticking to the bare bones needed to keep the district functioning as-is.

Beginning today, the Riverside County Fire Department will suspend the issuance of burning permits in unincorporated communities as a safety precaution.
"Critical fire weather and (the) acute dryness of vegetation" warrants rescinding open-burning privileges, with few exceptions, said Fire Chief John Hawkins, who, under the state Public Resources Code, has the authority to impose a ban on open burning when public safety is at risk.
The burning prohibition does not apply to cities, which issue their own permits, or to farmers clearing land in the Coachella and Palo Verde valleys.
Campfires will be allowed, but only in designated areas, according to fire department officials.
The agency will continue to issue temporary permits for cooking fires in places where there is no alternative means of preparing food. Warming fires will also be permitted "when weather conditions exist to justify the request," Hawkins said.
He said that in all cases, sites must first be inspected by firefighters from the nearest station to ensure they're safe.
Anyone who violates the ban and accidentally ignites a wildfire could be held liable for the damage it causes, according to the county Fire Department.
The ban, which formally goes into effect at 8 a.m., will remain in effect until Hawkins rescinds it.
