Measure B opponents
EDITOR: A diverse cross-section of groups and individuals are opposing Measure B because they realize the unintended consequences it would have on city services and our quality of life. The Sonoma County Deputy Sheriffs Association, Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers Alliance, Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau, Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce and North Bay Labor Council represent diverse interests, and they stand united against Measure B because of its long-term, negative impacts on our town. Even 30-year Greenbelt Alliance member Laney Thornton has spoken out against Measure B.
Meanwhile, proponents of Measure B have picked up just one organizational endorsement from a board of directors whose members all live outside of the city of Sonoma and the Sonoma Valley at large. One of the board members happens to be the wife of Warren Watkins, who has vowed to emulate Measure B in Healdsburg. There is no doubt the Watkins effect helped influence the only organization backing those in favor of Measure B.
The diverse and widespread opposition to Measure B derives from the multitude of community organizations and Sonoma residents who see the bigger picture and haven't bought into the scare tactics or misleading sound bites. It's no wonder why they will be protecting our quality of life by voting no on B.
Lethal force
EDITOR: Lethal force should only be used when all lesser means have failed. Ten seconds equals a knee-jerk reaction, resulting in a community tragedy. Such was the case in the taking of 13-year-old Andy Lopez's life. Not an intelligent or well-thought-out evaluation of the situation and a flagrant disregard for public safety. What ever happened to "protect and serve"?
Santa Rosa
At the crossroads
EDITOR: We are being served a traffic nightmare that I never would have have imagined in Rohnert Park. The casino is something that we didn't want, but it got stuffed down our throats anyway. Congratulations are in order; we are now the crossroads between greed and exploitation of human weakness.

I'm thinking about laying down a soaker hose and straw mulch in my 20 x 30 garden before the hot dry days of July and August show up. I've got the basics planted (tomatos, peppers, beans, cucs, etc).
I'm wondering if it would be better to lay the hose on top or under the straw mulch. I'll pull the hose up in the fall and leave the straw.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.

Usually mother is a term of endearment. But when hear the phrase 'stage mom', maternal is not exactly what comes to mind. So, how do you encourage your child's talents without becoming overbearing?Off Broadway Dance Theater in Alpharetta has all the makings of good reality show. There are kids giving it their all week after week in rehearsals, and instructors Shannon and Chris Mayer demand the best from their students."We try to run it like a professional rehearsal. You come, you do your work, you go home," said Chris Mayer.Rounding out the cast are the moms who seem just as dedicated as their children. But at the dance theater, one thing you won't find is drama."Not at all. We are best friends. We call each other every day. We go out to dinner," said mother Kristen Smith. "We love being together.On Dance Moms, you see more fights between the mothers than dancing on the stage. Shannon Mayer, who wrote a book titled The Practical Guide for Theater Kids and Parents, says to keep from becoming a stage mom, make sure it's the child in the driver's seat."When it stops being the child's passion, it needs to stop because that's when the children are going to start resenting it. And they'll start saying 'I don't want to go to rehearsal. I don't want to go to dance class.' It needs to be the child's desire not the parents'," said Shannon.She says parents need to model good behavior for their children, and they should be taught basic manners. Since performing is ultimately a competitive sport, you and your child must be able to take rejection."They have to get thick skin and they have to be resilient. If it's going to be something where they take it personally and they get their feelings hurt when they don't get cast in a role, then perhaps it's not for them," said Shannon.For Owen Smith, performing is what she wants to do professionally. Her mom says she won't let it happen at the expense of good moral character."I think if it ever got like dance moms absolutely. That's why I think that dance moms can't be that real because who would keep their child in that environment? I would pull her out in a second," said Smith.The Mayers say don't consider it a waste of time if your child decides he or she no longer wants to perform. They will always have an appreciation for the arts and they will have learned valuable life skills.Shannon's guide is available as a free download, just click here!

- Why did he do it? The Manning-WikiLeaks defense
- Defense presents video in Manning WikiLeaks trial
Here's a look at the key elements of the case:
The 25-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., admittedly leaked hundreds of thousands of classified Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and diplomatic cables in 2009 and 2010 while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad. Manning also has acknowledged leaking a 2007 video clip of a U.S. helicopter crew killing 11 men, including a Reuters news photographer and his driver. The Pentagon concluded the troops acted appropriately, having mistaken the camera equipment for weapons.
Manning chose to be tried by a military judge, not a jury. The trial began June 3, with Army Col. Denise Lind presiding. She will deliver the verdict and recommend a sentence. The Military District of Washington commander has the option of reducing the sentence.
The trial is at Fort Meade, an Army post south of Baltimore.
Five Army lawyers are prosecuting the case, headed by Maj. Ashden Fein. Manning's defense team is headed by an Army reserve officer in private practice, David Coombs, and includes two active-duty Army lawyers.
Prosecutors presented testimony from 80 witnesses over five weeks. The government's evidence showed Manning had been warned about the dangers of disclosing classified information, including posting it online.
There was testimony the leaked material revealed military tactics and other information an enemy could exploit. The government also presented evidence that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden requested and received from an associate some of the documents Manning leaked after they were published on WikiLeaks.
In a more than four-hour closing argument, Fein said Manning betrayed his country's trust and spilled government secrets to make a name for himself, knowing the material would be seen by al-Qaida.
Fein said Manning relied on WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange for guidance on what to leak.
"What is obvious is that Pfc. Manning pulled as much information as possible to please Julian Assange in order to get that information released," Fein said. He later described the group as "a bunch of anti-government activists and anarchists."
The defense presented testimony from 10 witnesses in three days, plus one rebuttal witness after resting. Manning did not testify. The defense evidence showed Manning was authorized, even encouraged, to view a wide range of classified information as part of his job. The evidence was meant to counter charges that Manning exceeded his authorized computer access.
The defense also produced evidence some of the information Manning leaked was already publicly known before WikiLeaks published it. A defense expert witness, Harvard communications law professor Yochai Benkler, testified that WikiLeaks served a legitimate journalistic function in publishing leaked material.
Army lawyers initially brought 22 charges against Manning, including the most serious, aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence. To prove that charge, prosecutors must show Manning knew the material would be seen by al-Qaida members.
Manning pleaded guilty in February to lesser versions of nine offenses alleging violations of federal espionage and computer fraud laws, and to one count alleging violation of a military regulation prohibiting wrongful storage of classified information. The combined maximum prison term for those offenses is 20 years.
The judge accepted his guilty pleas, but prosecutors initially did not. Prosecutors later accepted Manning's guilty plea for a lesser version of one count, involving a single diplomatic cable summarizing U.S. Embassy discussions with Icelandic officials about the country's financial troubles.
Manning said in February he leaked the material to expose the U.S military's "bloodlust" and disregard for human life, and what he considered American diplomatic duplicity. He said he chose information he believed would not the harm the United States and he wanted to start a debate on military and foreign policy.
Coombs has portrayed Manning as a "young, naive but good-intentioned" soldier who was in emotional turmoil, partly because he was a gay service member at a time when homosexuals were barred from serving openly in the U.S. military.
The release of the cables and video embarrassed the U.S. and its allies. The Obama administration has said it threatened valuable military and diplomatic sources and strained America's relations with other governments.

On August 29, 2005, Katrina struck the Gulf Coast and the world watched in horror as New Orleans levees failed, inundating and jeopardizing a great American city.
Since that time levees have been shorn up, but coastal Louisiana remains at risk. If you've tuned into any media recently, you've most likely seen coverage of this terrible anniversary. Yet, one critical story has failed to recieve the attention it deserves.
Wetlands have been destroyed by oil and gas exploration and development. Coastal forests have been clearcut. Marshes have been starved of critical sediment by the levees of the Mississippi River. Without the restoration of these natural defenses, levees will not hold up to another Katrina. Levees alone are not enough. Barrier islands, wetlands, coastal forests and marshes are necessary for a sustainable New Orleans.
Help us send this message to your community and your members of Congress by writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Louisiana's coast has been destroyed due to the nation's need for oil and gas and shipping routes, and it will take a national commitment to secure it again.
Please help us get that side of the story out, visit this website to write a letter.
The Gulf Restoration Network is a New Orleans-based network of groups and individuals dedicated to protecting and restoring the valuable resources of the Gulf of Mexico. The GRN has members in the five Gulf States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Throughout our ten-year history, the GRN has worked on many issues that have now been thrust into the spotlight by Katrina: coastal wetlands protection and restoration; the prioritization and effectiveness of Army Corps of Engineers projects, such as the New Orleans levees; and clean and healthy waters.

ゆるキャラショー みうらのうた
March 16, 2012 was the final day of operations for the 300 series Shinkansen. This rolling stock made its debut in 1992 and operated on both the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines. Initially, the 300 series was utilized for the fastest Nozomi service, but were later repurposed to the slower but more highly utilized Hikari and Kodama services when newer train series were unveiled (500, 700 and N700).
As a result, the 300 series became a venerable workhorse during its 20 years of operation. Most sets were pulled back in February but a few specially tagged trains ran until March 16th. Those trains sported a special graphic on both its nose and on the side just to the front of the cabin door; Shinkansen Series 300 ありがとう Last Run 2012.3.16
This is a compilation of those final runs. As someone who personally put a lot of mileage on this series, thank you and goodbye old friend!
The "0" Series Shinkansen were Japan's first trainsets to run on the high speed rail network (Tokaido Shinkansen Line) in 1964.
After 44 years of the service, the "0" Series rolling stock was retired on December 14, 2008. Regular "Kodama" service ended back on November 30, 2008 while three special "Hikari 347" service runs were added for mid-December.
The final Hikari 347 (San-yon-nana, a play on sayonara or goodbye) pulled into JR Hakata Station at 6:01pm signifying the end of an era.
This video compiles 0 Series runs on November 30, December 6, December 13, and December 14.
Japanese researchers have proposed an idea to use stretchy circuits made from rubber and nanotubes to create an "E-skin", which will be flexible enough to completely cover a robot without limiting its movement.
Japanese "papercraft" models made from cardboard are popular with foreign tourists for their careful and precise construction. Another reason behind the popularity of contemporary Japanese papercraft modeling is their imaginative renderings that reflect the aesthetic of Japanese animation. Keisuke Saka, who describes himself as a "paper engineer", is well known even overseas for producing models featuring delicate movements utilizing both computer design and manual trial and error.

The food floors in Japanese department stores are known as depachika (デパ地下) which is shorthand for depato no chika shokuhin uriba (デパートの地下食料品売り場) or department store basement food selling place. They are major attractions that bring in customers which can generate over 25% of the stores revenue. Careful and extensive planning takes place in terms of how the floor is setup, how and where items are displayed, the different types of product mix. There is always a constant flow of activity and vendors will often be yelling a hearty "irrasshai" and offering samples in order to attract customers.
Oyama-cho in Oita-ken (Kyushu) generates revenue from ume.
Ume (梅) or Japanese apricot is a species of asian plum. Juice, liquor, sauces, medicine, and preserved/pickled ume known as umeboshi (梅干) are some of its most common uses. Ume blossoms are often mentioned in Japanese poetry as a symbol of spring.
Udon (うどん or 饂飩) is a thick wheat-based noodle usually served hot in a mildly flavoured broth. Kake udon is the simplest type served in kakejiru made of dashi, soy sauce (shōyu), and mirin. It is usually garnished with thinly chopped scallions. Other common toppings include tempura, kakiage (a type of mixed tempura fritter), or abura age (deep-fried tofu pockets seasoned with sugar, mirin, and soy sauce). A thin slice of kamaboko, a halfmoon-shaped fish cake, is often added. Sanuki udon from Kagawa Prefecture is featured in this video.
Single men who haven't had luck with talking to or dating women are transformed in one weeks time. This TV Champion episode requires each contestants to makeover a single man who hasn't had luck talking with or dating women. It's funny, pathetic, and interesting all at the same time.
Runtime: 47 minutes
Contestants are challenged on their knowledge of Tokyo's subway system. Challenges include trivia quizzes, visiting as many Tokyo leisure spots, museums, and observatories first utilizing the subway.

Regan Smith won't drive in this week's NASCAR race at Martinsville Speedway, marking the first time he's missed a Sprint Cup Series event since 2009.
But Smith, who recently completed a two-race stint as the substitute driver for Hendrick Motorsports' No. 88 car, said he's not angry or upset about his current situation.
He told SB Nation by phone Tuesday there were "no hard feelings whatsoever" over Phoenix Racing's decision to put AJ Allmendinger in the car at Martinsville, partly because Smith wasn't officially available until Dale Earnhardt Jr. was cleared to return from concussions.
"(Phoenix) just had to be able to commit to something," Smith said. "For a time period there, we were just having to wait and see a little bit to see how things went at (Earnhardt Jr.'s) test. I think everybody was anticipating things were fine and the test was going to go fine, but there was that little bit of wait-and-see moment, and (Phoenix) had to be able to work toward what they were doing at Martinsville."
Smith said it's "not out of the realm of possibility" he could drive the No. 51 car before the season ends. He was originally scheduled to race for the team starting at Charlotte – the same week Furniture Row Racing released him in favor of Kurt Busch – but then Hendrick called and asked him to replace Earnhardt Jr.
AJ Allmendinger raced the No. 51 at Charlotte and Kansas instead, and Phoenix Racing decided to stick with him for Martinsville.
Smith, though, said he completely understood Phoenix having to "carry on as a race team" and also acknowledged Martinsville was "a good opportunity for AJ to get back in."
"Quite honestly, it was fortunate for me that Phoenix and James (Finch) – who I had already committed to – was willing to let me go (drive the 88) and not just say, 'Hey, we're already committed,'" Smith said. "I was very fortunate they were willing to work with me on that."
Similarly, Smith had no regrets over driving for Hendrick. He called it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and praised crew chief Steve Letarte and the 88 team for opening their arms to a temporary driver.
The end result, though, is Smith will be sidelined for this week and possibly longer. He hasn't missed a NASCAR race since he ran a half-season schedule for Furniture Row three years ago.
"I would certainly love to be racing as much as possible, but there's a lot going on in my world also right now, so we'll just have to wait and see how that all plays out," Smith said. "I hope to know more in the coming days and weeks."
Smith was referring to the possibility he could drive for JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series next season and run for the championship. Two of JRM's co-owners, Kelley Earnhardt Miller and Rick Hendrick, publicly raised that possibility in the last week, and Smith acknowledged there have been "discussions."
"It would be an opportunity to go out there and win a championship, and that's what every race car driver wants to do – win races and championships," he said. "It would certainly appear that would be a cool thing to do."
As for Sunday's race, Smith said he's not quite sure what he'll do. He toyed with the idea of staying home and watching football, but he might not be able to stay away from the track.
"I know the Broncos are playing, but they don't play until Sunday night – so I can't even watch that to take my mind off it," he said with a laugh. "And the Panthers, the way they've been playing this year, I don't want to watch them. Maybe I'll go up there (to Martinsville) and watch from the roof and see what I can learn. I don't think there's anything bad about doing that.
"I'm a racer, I love being around the racetrack and the people at the racetrack. As tough as it would be to be there and not be in the car, you've got to take the punches as they come from that standpoint."

"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"We were very happy with our order!! The quality of the card was fantastic!! The website is easy to use, there are a lot of choices in each category, the layout choices are good."
"I chose Tiny Prints because of their user friendly website, a variety of layout choices, and excellent reputation. I was not disappointed in my choice. The cards arrived quickly and the paper quality is excellent."
"I've received many compliments on my card! I was behind and didn't get Christmas cards done in time so did this instead. I think my friends spent more time looking and admiring my card because the rush of the holidays was over. The paper feels like a fine heavy quality and the layout is attractive. I was very pleased. Be sure to get the larger envelopes because the post office charges .20 more per card for square ones."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."

CALHOUN, TN (Times Free Press) -- The new owner of the paper mill in Calhoun, TN., is shutting down its newsprint machine and laying off 150 employees.Resolute Forest Products, which merged with the former AbitibiBowater Inc. in 2007 and acquired the rest of the Calhoun mill it didn't already own earlier this week, announced the shut down of the newsprint operation today."The idling comes as a result of a decrease in demand for newsprint, coupled with high operating costs for the machine," the company said in a statement.The Calhoun mill produced 215,000 metric tons per year and supplied newsprint for newspapers across the South, including the Chattanooga Times Free Press. A plant in Augusta, Ga., will now supply such newsprint.Read more from our news partners at the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Decent replica. It is not rip-stop nylon and the manufacturing country is questionable. Mine was Woodland Digital (USMC). It has EGA logo, however the NSN-like number does not match official issue. It has the same pattern on both sides (USMC has coyote on one side). It is twice as thick as issue poncho liner. All that being said, it looks like a decent buy at the price. I don't care for it being said that it is USGI as it appears not to be.

New for Spring 2011, look for the Sierra Designs Jive…
Price Paid: Free sample for review from Sierra Designs
New for Spring 2011, look for the Sierra Designs Jive jacket with Cocona Xcellerator fabric to help maintain a dry interior while out in the elements. The Jive is a highly waterproof and breathable three-season hard shell.
The Jive is another example of how Sierra Designs lives to design outdoor gear that is innovative and useful for a variety of outdoor pursuits. While Sierra Designs may have intended for the Jive to be a highly breathable, fast drying jacket compatible with backpacks (and it totally is) it is also compatible for wearing under a cycling hydration pack whether you are on remote mountain bike trails or an urban bike commute. It is also stylish enough to wear around town on rainy days.
Two large chest pockets store items that you need quick, easy access to, and sit well above where a backpack's waist belt would sit. This reduces bulk and discomfort. Extra long pit-zips let you regulate airflow through the jacket when you are hot. Adjustable wrist cuffs keep out wind and rain and even fit snug around your gloves. The zippers are waterproof, the seams are fully-taped PVC free seams, and the hood's bill is exceptionally large. If you are a biker, the hood will cover your head even with a helmet.
I wore this jacket all summer through rainstorms light and torrential, on hiking trips, around town, sea kayaking on Lake Superior in inclement weather and on my bike commutes to work. The conditions may have been wet and ugly outside, but I was dry on the inside. When not in use, it packs into a small stuff sack or a backpack's outer pocket.
The Jive's construction materials set it apart from all others. It is made with Cocona, a soft shell fabric made from coconut husks. Cocona fabric works by spreading water and moisture (like body sweat) over a larger surface area for faster evaporation and to accelerate drying. Much like cotton and wool, the natural coconut material once woven into fabrics and yarns also provide odor adsorption and UV protection.
If you are on an extended-day backpacking or camping trip, or even a bike commuter, can you see how a quick-drying, odor-resistant rain jacket with UV protection could be beneficial?
My only complaints? The lack of hip pockets are great for when you're wearing a backpack but when walking about town, it's nice to stick your hands in pockets. Also, the hood's bill could be stiffer. It was a little on the floppy side. It kept my face and head dry but when the winds picked up, I had to prop it up with my hand to see where I was walking.

antibodies in response to foreign substances that may cause infection. The main features that separate CVID from other immunodeficiencies are low levels of two specific antibodies, immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). Individuals with this condition develop more frequent infections, particularly in the sinuses, lungs, and digestive tract. [1] [2] CVID symptoms most commonly begin in early adulthood, but have been found in children as young as two years. Though some cases of CVID are caused by known genetic factors, the cause of most cases is unknown. [3] CVID can sometimes be treated by "replacing" antibodies into the body; this treatment is called "immunoglobulin therapy".

Eighteen-some years ago, Carl Edwards was driving four-cylinder modifieds in St. Louis. He was looking for an edge to rise in motorsports, and he noticed Mark Martin excelling in NASCAR as an advocate of great physical conditioning.
Just last week Edwards turned to Martin in the garage and reminded him of that. At 54 long after others have retired Martin still is racing, and beating, drivers half his age.
The man is an inspiration to all of us in this sport, Edwards said Sunday. Hes the reason I started working out. Now, to be parked next to him in the garage, and see him still do it at that level? He and I talked about it the other day he said he just has this desire that never changed.
Martin isnt just driving, he is excelling. After finishing third in the Daytona 500, he won the pole at Phoenix for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. He led most of the first 60 laps before a tire problem relegated him to 21st.
You know who is most surprised by all this success? Martin. He asks himself constantly why team owner Michael Waltrip and crew chief Rodney Childers place so much faith in him.
Its pretty amazing that I get to drive a race car for a team like this that truly has a chance; a chance to win, Martin said last weekend. They support me and believe in me more than I believe in myself.
In sports, age and experience are supposed to be a trade-off. What you deposit in collective knowledge, you seemingly withdraw in reaction time, endurance and focus. Martin decided a long time ago that strenuous, constant workouts could give him an edge.
He isnt sure that made much difference when he was young, but now it is an absolute prerequisite to his participation.
No doubt the longevity of my career is hugely dependent on that, Martin said.
Martin isnt always sure when his collective experiences are a plus, vs. a minus, in the real-time decision-making of a Sprint Cup race. Processing all that collective data isnt always an advantage.
You do have to play to your strengths, Martin said. Ive been doing this long enough that Ive over-driven and Ive under-driven. Ive driven just right.
Martin gets uneasy when it is suggested he knows things younger drivers might not. Never having won a season championship, he asks what he could possibly know that five-time champion Jimmie Johnson doesnt about navigating 500 times around an oval track.
But age does convey perspective. When youre close to the end of a career, the little things dont make you so crazy anymore.
Before if I qualified 30th, my lip would be out and Id have this long face, Martin said.
After winning the pole Friday, he was asked about Harry Gant, who at 52 became the oldest winner of a race on NASCARs top series. Martins career overlapped Gants, and Martin was quick to say he doesnt deserve the comparison.
Whether I was to break that record or not, I look at Harry Gant and dont feel I measure. Thats just me, Martin said.
Well always look at him as someone who accomplished more than I did. He was the guy I couldnt beat. Hes an incredible guy.
Kind of like how Edwards describes Martin.

Silicon Optix, a fabless semiconductor company focused on the convergence of silicon and optics, acquired Liesegang electronics GmbH in Hannover, Germany in late 2003.
Previously a subsidiary of Ed. Liesegang oHG operating as Liesegang projector systems, Liesegang electronics, a front projection technology leader over the past 15 years, has accumulated key display expertise, including geometry processing, through the development of multiple generations of system platforms and ASIC display engines.
Silicon Optix will draw on this expertise to develop electronics subsystems and system-on-a-chip semiconductors for the front projection and rear projection display markets.
The company will continue operations in Germany, under the name Silicon Optix GmbH, and Hamid Farzaneh, Silicon Optix's executive vice president of sales and business development, will be Silicon Optix GmbH's managing director.
"Integrating Liesegang electronics into Silicon Optix strengthens our engineering team and gives Silicon Optix the advantage of broadening our geometry processing technology for the large-area display processing market," said Paul Russo, Silicon Optix president and CEO. "It also gives us a base to leverage new markets, such as automotive heads-up displays, where Europe has a great deal of expertise."
"Liesegang electronics image processing and system design expertise has been utilized by Liesegang projectors particularly in applications using Texas Instrument's DLP technology, and through development contracts with imaging systems, digital printing, medical equipment and other leading edge companies," said Hamid Farzaneh, Silicon Optix's executive vice president of sales and business development. "By combining Silicon Optix and Liesegang engineering teams, and by accessing Europe's world-class research institutes such as Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and Fraunhofer, Silicon Optix will continue to deliver world-class image and display processing platforms."

Inclement Weather:
When making reservations during the winter months, you must consider the possibilities that inclement winter weather will affect your stay. During the months of November through March, dangerous snow or ice storms are possible in the Western North Carolina Mountains.
◾Check the weather forecast and road conditions before you leave home. Here is a link for your convenience. Enter 28713 for the zip code.
◾Make sure you have in your car: warm clothing, blankets, boots, food, flashlights and water.
◾Keep your car full of gas as well.
◾Plan to arrive before dark as our mountain roads do not have street lights and road conditions tend to deteriorate at night.
◾Purchase your groceries before you arrive at your cabin.
◾We recommend you come prepared with a proper vehicle for driving on mountain roads and snow and ice. Minivans do not do well on winter mountain roads.
Please understand that we cannot be responsible for the conditions of the roads or driveways nor will we reimburse for towing or scraping of roads.
If a strong winter storm (snow or ice) is forecasted for the area of our rental cabins, we reserve the right to proactively cancel reservations on cabins that, at our discretion, may have their road condition reduced to limited or no access by snow or ice. This is strictly a road safety issue – our first and foremost concern is for your safety and the safety of our staff.
At the time of the cancellation, we will contact the guest listed on the reservation by phone and email. We will make every attempt to move you to a safer cabin for the same dates as the original reservation. Or, we will allow you to reschedule your reservation at the same cabin within the next 180 days. Our cancellation policy of NO REFUNDS is in force for any cancellations within 30 days of the reservation.
In the event that you so choose to keep your reservation after we have advised you NOT TO COME, you are responsible for your own safety. We will not be held liable and will not refund or reschedule your stay. You may also not be allowed to enter the cabin should you be able to get to it – if you access the cabin after we have cancelled your reservation without our permission, you will be trespassing.

Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Permit Fees Hiked
Rwanda mountain gorilla trekking has become such a must for tourists visiting Africa that the number of tourists visiting Parc Des Volcans has forced the Rwanda Development Board – RDB to raise the price of Rwanda gorilla permits.
The prices of gorilla permits to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda, has been hiked from $500 to $750 per person per day effective 1st June 2012.
According to a Study that was published in PLUS ONE, Rwanda raised about $8 million in the 2008 for gorilla conservation. The Rwanda Development Board says it was necessary to raise the gorilla trekking fee in order to raise more money for the conservation of these endangered species.
In the same year – 2008 about twenty thousand – 20,000 tourists did visit Rwanda gorillas and this is a high number that could adversely affect the the conservation of these gentle giants. The number of people doing a gorilla safari has thus been limited daily to a certain number – 8 people per family so as not to affect the mountain gorillas.
In 2010 due to this effective and concerted effort by the Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, the number of mountain gorillas has greatly increased to about 790 in the wild.
Mountain gorillas which were once highly endangered are now seeing a steady increase in their population with an annual growth of about 3.7% in the population.
This trend however is not the same with the lowland gorillas of the Congo basin which have seen a steady decline in number due to poaching, loss of habitat due to the felling of trees and the outbreak of diseases.

I grew up in Yokohama, Japan where one of the main tourist attractions is the biggest Chinatown in Japan. In fact, one of the local specialties in Yokohama that tourists buy as a souvenir is Shumai.
Shumai in Japan has mostly pork as the main ingredient compared to the Chinese Shaomai or Siumai which uses both ground pork and chopped shrimp. Even though Shumai might look difficult or tedious to make, it's actually not so bad. It could be fun to make these with your children or friends and eat right away after they are steamed.
When I make spring rolls or shumai at home, I always make cheese wrap with the leftover skins. Both pan fried and deep fried cheese wraps are really easy to make and your leftover skins won't go to waste! Have a wonderful week everyone!
- 1 lb ground pork
- ½ onion
- 1 inch ginger (about ½ - 1 Tbsp.)
- 3 green onions
- 2 shiitake mushrooms
- Wonton wrappers
- Green peas
- 2 Tbsp. sake
- ½ Tbsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- ½ tsp. salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Soy Sauce
- Rice Vinegar
- La Yu (Japanese chili oil - optional)
- Mince onion, shiitake mushrooms, green onions and grate ginger (keep the juice).
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, Seasonings, and ginger with juice, and mix.
- Add onion, shiitake mushroom, and green onions and mix well with hands until the mixture becomes sticky.
- Form one of your hand as if you are holding a tube. Put a sheet of wonton wrapper on top. Scoop 1 tsp of the mixture on top of the wonton and push it in. Fix the shape with hands and push in a green pea on top.
- Place the ones you finish on top of parchment paper (baking sheet or cabbage leaves) inside the steamer.
- When it's almost done wrapping, boil water in the wok. Make sure the water will not touch the bamboo steamer.
- When you are done wrapping and water is boiling, put the steamer in the wok. Make sure you wrap the steamer lid with a thin towel (I used Japanese 'tenugui') so that condensation from the water vapor will not drop on Shumai. Cook for 8 minutes.
- If you have some leftover wrappers, you can make Wonton Cheese Wrap or make my fellow blogger friend MJ's Wonton Crackers. For Wonton Cheese Wrap, you put the cheese in the wrapper and use water to seal the two edges tightly and fry in the pan.
- While Shumai is hot, serve with Dipping Sauce (soy sauce + rice vinegar).

Letter From The Editor
You may have noticed that it's been a while between emails. We are excited to say that we have been happily distracted as we spend some time working on our very first book! More details on this exciting project to come. In the meantime, we've been continuing our Make Nice Mission with H.E.A.R.T. - the non-profit group that brings age-appropriate humane education programs to public schools and other non-profit agencies at no cost. This month we're excited to share with you our Human Rights Edition!
Inspired by H.E.A.R.T.'s Human Rights program, we've collaborated with The Little Market to show a real-life example of an ethical business that works to promote social justice and human rights. We highlight the importance of getting to know our peers before judging them, understanding the phrase "fair trade," and knowing where our products come from. We take a look at some incredible artisans in action and get inspired to make some artisanal jewelry of our own.
We all want to do right by others and would prefer to buy a product that is kind and supportive to all humans and animals. Sadly there isn't always enough time to figure out whether a product was borne of inspiration and not exploitation. Companies have figured out that consumers are hungry for certain products and know of tricks to make us think we're buying conscientiously made products, when in fact we are not. In this issue of Make Nice, we aim to give you simple signs to look for when shopping and show you some great purchases that will ensure that you are making nice for yourself and others.
The crafts and activities in this edition were designed to donate to the teachers at H.E.A.R.T. for use in their classrooms. We've made them available here for you and your kids to use in your own home. It's never too early to teach our children the importance of human rights and we hope that you and your family enjoy some simple tips on how to live ethically sustainable lives.
P.S. You will notice that Moomah the Magazine has a sponsor for this issue! Our goal is to raise awareness and funding for incredible non-profits. If we love your company and products and you're willing to help us spread the word about the non-profit we're working with, we're happy to share the page with you! This month we thank The Little Market for their contribution and support for H.E.A.R.T.!

Farm-based tourism, known as agritourism, can provide farmers with significant supplemental income, especially for smaller operations. University of Cooperative Extension, which recognizes the economic impact agritourism can have on individual farmers, is devoting a new program area focusing on educating, promoting and supporting agritourism opportunities throughout Maine's farming community.
UMaine Extension's Marc Edwards, a tourism and economic development professional, will present the program, "An Introduction to Growing Tourism on the Farm," from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the UMaine Extension Franklin County office at
138 Pleasant St., Suite 1, in Farmington.
The session is open to the public and costs $25 for materials.
The program is intended for new and existing farmers currently not engaging in agritourism activities, but who may be considering developing agritourism on their farms. It also will bring awareness of agritourism opportunities.
After attending this program, participants will have a general understanding of agritourism, and will be able to identify at least one potential agritourism activity on their farm. Participants will also be able to identify the first three basic steps toward developing agritourism on their farm.
What defines agritourism, according to Edwards, can range from roadside stands and pick-your-own operations to farmers markets and on-farm retail stores.
"It really depends on who you ask," he says. "There are many definitions out there."
A 2006 UMaine report estimated Maine farms that incorporate agritourism activities generated total farm sales of $65.6 million. Agritourism activities accounted for about 43 percent ($28.3 million) of the total sales on those farms. These sales supported 1,762 full- and part-time jobs, or 39 percent of all hired workers on agritourism farms.

The FloodThursday, November 11th, 2010
I'm assuming this is not the flood, but it certainly is heavy. Last night the electricity kicked off and it started thundering, raining and pouring down. Sheets even, it sounded serious. Wake up and it's still raining, go back to sleep. Wake up some more and hear news that everything in Colombo is flooded, houses in Nawala are under feet of water, and cars are stalled out in the street. If it rains for thirty minutes in Colombo, the main junctions flood. After a night of rains, it's carnage. I heard it's the heaviest rainfall since 1992. The traffic is snarled and houses are under so people aren't really going to work. It's a rain day for school. This is all fun unless your house or car is submerged, or unless the rains go on. I do hope everyone is OK. Tell me if you've got any stories, or email any photos.

Mohr brings multifaceted approach to broadcast
Comedian shows off impressions on latest 'Expressed Written Consent'
LOS ANGELES -- Down the hall from Vin Scully being Vin Scully, another Dodger Stadium broadcast booth is filled up. Tracy Morgan, Christopher Walken, Colin Quinn, Norm MacDonald and Al Pacino are all calling this particular Dodgers-Mets matchup.
Sound like an odd assortment to be working a Dodgers broadcast? Sound like the kind of lineup Bob Sugar, from the movie "Jerry Maguire," might invite to a party? The latter is close to the truth.
It's only possible because Jay Mohr is a singular talent, who brings all those personalities to life. He's also a Dodgers fan and a huge fan of the iconic voice of the Dodgers, Scully.
"He's the greatest on earth," Mohr says.
Strangely, Mohr's Harry Caray has a totally different opinion.
"Never cared for the man," Mohr howls as Caray.
Pair Mohr's comedic talent with his true love of Dodgers baseball, and you've got a broadcaster who is both knowledgeable and hilarious.
He and I called the game as part of the content development Expressed Written Consent. The goal is to bring nontraditional broadcasters into the booth, to have a go at the pastime that's evolved alongside the national pastime: calling the game.
MLB.com will be unveiling more original broadcasts over the next several weeks. Among the new crop: Eric Stonestreet, Bill and Willie Geist, Kevin Pollak and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
So bookmark EWC to see which storyteller's story is the most fun and whose future in the booth is brightest.
