"Film is so powerful a tool," says filmmaker Alexandria Bombach, "because storytelling is so human and can make a big difference in people's lives."
Bombach (Business Administration, '08) has proven that theory herself. After her first film, a travelogue of her journey in an Airstream trailer to meet people living with few possessions, she was surprised to find she had touched viewers.

Ready to redeem your frequent-flier miles and reward points for a plane ticket? You'll probably get a seat on Southwest, but good luck with Delta, at least at the basic redemption level.

And it is tougher this year to get standard-level award tickets at American Airlines, which is undergoing bankruptcy reorganization.
The survey also signals an emerging industry trend: Airline points are more rewarding than airline miles.
Carriers with programs based on points tie rewards to dollars spent rather than miles traveled. Higher fares earn more points—so coveted business travelers are well rewarded. And travelers can find seats when fares go higher without blackout dates or capacity controls—the price in points goes up proportionally with the price in dollars.
Conversely, when airline programs award miles based on the distance traveled, higher fares often don't get higher rewards. And many flights don't have seats available at standard mileage levels, such as 25,000 miles for a domestic round-trip, which leaves many consumers frustrated.
Several carriers, including Southwest and JetBlue, have converted their programs to points, and more are expected to convert in the next couple of years.

"Points-based systems provide better flexibility to the consumer, and they are going to become more prevalent. It's just infinitely more efficient for everyone," said Jay Sorensen, president of IdeaWorks.
In March 2011, Southwest gave up its longtime plan of giving customers a free ticket after eight round-trips. Availability of free trips was limited and subject to blackout dates, and free tickets expired if not used within a year. Now, the price of a trip in points fluctuates up and down with fares—when fares go on sale, the points price drops, too. When fares go up, the price in points goes up.
Despite customer complaints last year about the complexity and worries that free tickets would be harder to get, the number of awards redeemed on Southwest jumped 16% in 2011 over the previous year, and the percentage of travelers flying on free tickets increased significantly as well, according to the company's annual financial report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In Mr. Sorensen's study, which looked at availability this year, Southwest had seats available in 100% of queries made at prices equivalent to the basic level at other airlines.
In general, discount airlines had more availability than larger global carriers in the IdeaWorks report. Six so-called "value" airlines had reward seats available on 93.5% of queries, on average, while 17 other carriers in the survey averaged only 62.9%. Value carriers need to have better seat availability, Mr. Sorensen noted, because they don't offer the allure of first-class upgrades and business-class tickets, fancy airport lounges and trips to far-flung international destinations.
Southwest's transition to points had "growing pains," but the company and customers both learned and adapted, said Ryan Green, senior director of loyalty and partnerships. The number of program members and amount of revenue generated, mostly through sales of points to credit-card companies, electric utilities and other merchants who give out points as loyalty rewards, have both exceeded the company's expectations, Mr. Green said. Southwest doesn't disclose membership or revenue totals, however, but the company did say in one earnings report that cash sales of points to partners jumped $250 million in 2011 compared with 2010.
Award availability at AirTran, which still has a separate program from Southwest, increased dramatically in the IdeaWorks' survey because Southwest is managing it similarly to how it manages its own Rapid Rewards program.
Award availability at United for this year scored a sizable increase of 15.7 percentage points, IdeaWorks found.
United heard increasing complaints from elite-level frequent fliers and users of its preferred credit card that not enough awards were available, spokesman Rahsaan Johnson said. So the airline decided last year to manage availability differently to open up seats closer to when customers actually book. In addition, United is now managing award seat inventory on United and former Continental Airlines planes together after the merger of the two carriers. Those two changes have boosted availability, United said.
Availability at American dropped significantly, to only 45.7% availability from 62.9% in the survey last year. A spokeswoman for American said the airline hasn't changed its strategy for managing award availability with its bankruptcy reorganization. The bankruptcy also hasn't affected customer demand for award redemptions, she said.
JetBlue, which switched to a new points program in November 2009, saw an increase of 7.1 percentage points to a healthy 86.4% availability success rate. With its old program, flight credits expired if you didn't fly enough to reach a free ticket. Even when you had a free ticket you often couldn't find availability, so only 6% of customers ever got an award, said Martin St. George, senior vice president of marketing. Now points never expire and there are no blackout dates or limited availability. Since the new program was rolled out, membership is up 30%, JetBlue said.
Availability at Delta this year was unchanged from last year at only 27.1%, Mr. Sorensen said. That leaves Delta at the bottom of the study's rankings.
Delta notes that while other airlines have two mileage redemption levels (low and high, with the high level typically costing twice as many miles), it also has a midlevel tier. That likely reduces the inventory of the lowest award level, especially now when fares are high, airline capacity is down and demand for award seats is higher.
A Delta spokesman noted the carrier, like others, offers every seat as an award seat. It just may be at a higher price.
The IdeaWorks' survey, sponsored by Switchfly Inc., a company that provides software to travel companies, loyalty programs and financial-services institutions, looks for a pair of seats on each airline's 10 busiest long routes and 10 busiest short routes on 14 different round-trip dates between June and October. That's a total of 280 queries for each airline.
The study looks for seats at the basic award level, usually 12,500 miles for a domestic one-way ticket, for example. For airlines using points, IdeaWorks calculated how many points would be earned by spending $12,500 on that airline's credit-card program and used that as the maximum points when searching for availability.
"Every airline is a country that gets to establish the value of their currency, and some provide a better rate of exchange than others," said Mr. Sorensen, whose firm has been tracking airline seat availability for the past three years.
Improving Your Chances
Here are some tips to help you turn miles or points into free travel.
•Keep checking. Inventory of award seats changes all the time. Airlines even make seats available at their lowest award level a week or two before departure if seats aren't selling well.
•Use the phone. It pays to call if you are trying to book seats on airline partners. Many airlines don't offer award seats on partner airlines through their websites, but a reservations agent can try to find seats. (Airlines pay their partners for transporting customers on award tickets, so they prefer you use your miles on their own flights.)
•Be flexible. If you're going someplace popular, check availability on multiple days. If you live in a small city, be willing to drive to a big airport to use an award ticket, since short trips on small jets can limit availability.
•Be creative. You don't have to start and end every trip to Europe in Paris. Flights to other European cities may have more availability. Consider different beach or ski destinations to find available award seats.

Start the walk by making your way through the town and go via the high arch gateway of the tower then head steeply uphill to the Cathedral. Continue straight ahead passing the Cathedral to reach an area where there are some shops and a cafe, turn right and work your way on round the Cathedral and then turn left at the next road junction. This road goes downhill soon passing a picnic area on the right and the castle can be seen high above you on the left. Ignore a junction on the right and continue down to a main road junction.
Go left and then shortly go right onto a track which goes alongside an orange grove - there used to be a wetland area on the right but this seems to have disappeared under tarmac and concrete. The track becomes concrete as it climbs up by some houses and then reaches the wide levada by a small footbridge. Cross the bridge and turn right along the levada's path for a few metres then turn left on a small path heading towards some houses. On reaching a narrow road go left and then shortly afterwards go right on a tarmac road - the windmill at Encherim now comes into view perched on top of a hill.On reaching the aquaduct turn sharp left and at the next road junction turn right - follow this along then take a narrow road on the right - this climbs and then when you come to some houses take a track on the left. This track climbs very steeply to the clearly visible windmill. (note it is possible this windmill is now privately owned since it appeared that it was being renovated and presumably will/has becomes someone's house.)
The track climbs and as it bends at yet another track junction go sharp right- the track winds it's way down into a valley and then reaches a wide track junction. Go sharp left and continue on down through the valley - the area is full of trees including eucalyptus - simply stay on the main track ignoring a track on the left at a bend - until you reach a major T-junction. Turn left onto the wide dirt road and then as it reaches houses it becomes tarmac.
Continue straight ahead passing several houses then just as you reach a huge palm tree on the left go left on a narrow walkway up steps to reach a tarmac road. Go left then shortly look for a path on the right which takes you up to the levada. Cross the somewhat smelly levada then turn left and follow it all the way back to the bridge crossed earlier. Turn right and re-trace your steps back into the centre of Silves. On reaching the church go round the back of it by the small cafe where you will find the entrance to the castle - which is well worth visiting.
There is a small entrance fee and you may well find workmen restoring parts of the inside area but there are things to see and excellent views all round Silves.
Almost immediately after leaving the tarmac area/yard there is a rough narrow path which cuts off diagonally down the bank on scree to the levada - cross over and then go left walking away from the restaurant. It is up to you how far you want to walk - as mentioned it is possible to go all the way back to Silves if you wish. The levada wanders around as it follows the course of the river which is on the right. Above and below are a few photographs we took around this area which we hope are of interest.
On your return and before climbing back up the bank to the car park perhaps stay on the levada path and continue on past the Mira Rio restaurant and just a little way along you can see where the levada crosses the river.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Draco filed his taxes
I have never, ever, ever been this happy before. Ever, in my whole life. I can't remember a time I felt like this.
I feel on top of the whole world. I'm managing each day and am committed to managing my medication treatment to curb my anxiety and any sudden depressive thoughts.
I wake up and pretty much spring out of bed. I love going into my own bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. I love going to my own refrigerator to make my lunch. I love locking the door behind me to my apartment. I love taking the train to my job and sipping coffee at my cubicle. I love that this life I for so long only dreamed of is actually a reality.
At the end of the day I love taking the train home and stepping off and seeing my apartment building (literally just steps from the train station). I love listening and watching the trains go by from my living room window.
I love going to the grocery store and picking out the foods I want to cook and eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love filling the fridge with food I went out and selected and purchased all by myself.
I love coming home to a home free of nagging. Free from my mother. I love walking around knowing everything in this place is for me and me alone. I love having privacy to do what I want. I love finally being able to invite friends over, (even though I haven't done that as much as I had envisioned because I'm so tired after work).
I smile so much. I'm enjoying this greatly. I don't ever ever ever want to have to go back to the life I had before. It's so important that I continue to manage my health and keep my depression under control so it does not control me.
Please let things keep going in this direction.

Mozilla, Samsung Collaborating on New Browser Engine
Mozilla and Samsung are working on a new Web browser engine based on Rust.
Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich said on Wednesday that the Firefox developer is collaborating with Samsung on a next-generation Web browser engine called Servo. Eich said it's an attempt to rebuild the Web browser from the ground up on modern hardware – an attempt that not only addresses the cause of security vulnerabilities plaguing current devices, but fully utilizes the performance of massively parallel hardware in devices of the future.
Eich said in a blog update that this new browser engine will be written in Rust, a new, safe systems language developed by Mozilla along with "a growing community of enthusiasts." Given that Samsung is involved, this browser will be focused on Android and ARM-based SoCs. Samsung has already contributed an ARM backend to Rust and the build infrastructure necessary to cross-compile to Android, along with many other improvements, Eich said.
"Rust, which today reached v0.6, has been in development for several years and is rapidly approaching stability," the Mozilla CTO said. "It is intended to fill many of the same niches that C++ has over the past decades, with efficient high-level, multi-paradigm abstractions, and offers precise control over hardware resources. But beyond that, it is *safe by default*, preventing entire classes of memory management errors that lead to crashes and security vulnerabilities."
Programmers will be able to leverage the power of the many CPU cores available on current and future Android platforms thanks to the lightweight concurrency primitives offered with Rust, Eich added. The company is currently pushing to complete the first major revision of Rust within the coming year by tweaking performance, building on the tools and getting the libraries in order. Mozilla will also continue to dump more resources into the Servo browser itself.
"We, along with our friends at Samsung will be increasingly looking at opportunities on mobile platforms," Mozilla said. "Both of these efforts are still early stage projects and there's a lot to do yet, so now is a good time to get involved."
The latest version of Rust, v0.6, can be accessed here. Mozilla has also served up the source code for both Rust and Servo over on GitHub. To participate in the development process, head over to the mailing lists for Rust here, and Servo here.

More like it will be focused on Linux kernel based platforms and not just Android. Seems like Samsung's partnership with Intel for Tizen OS and who else better to partner with then Mozilla for the browser.
3dalethepcman , April 4, 2013 6:52 PMQuote:it is *safe by default*
so is a gun, until you put a finger on the trigger. The only ways this could be "safe by default" is by obscurity (probably) or by creating a randomly generated hypervisor and running the browser within a shelled off mini OS (very unlikely.)
Although hypervisor attacks have been proven in concept and in labs, none of them have been found in the wild (to my knowledge)

2ttcboy , April 4, 2013 11:59 PMIt's not a surprise to see Samsung is trying to move to another phone OS even though they are the leading Android market now. When Google start to create competing product with Motorola which they owned, it is sure that they will give more privilege to their own product rather then given their best support to Samsung on android front. That's why there were news that Samsung is trying to develop their own handphone OS when Google acquired Motorola.
Only time will tell on what the big G will do and it is the right move for Samsung to start planning for Plan B.

Traditions and Events
All dates can be confirmed on our calendar.
Community Work Party
The Community Work Party helps us prepare the classrooms and campus for the new school year. This is the perfect opportunity for new parents to meet the Hilltop Community and for returning families to reconnect after the summer. It's fun and makes a huge impact in a few short hours.
Parents paint, move furniture, garden and clean – whatever is needed – so please wear work clothes that can get messy.
Food will be served and kids are invited to play outside (adult supervision provided).
Elementary & Middle School Conferences
Parents of students new to Elementary and Middle School meet with faculty before school starts to set goals for the year and get to know each other better. Elementary conferences include parents and teachers. Middle School conferences include parents, teachers and students.
Children's House Parent Orientation
Children's House parents meet and learn about Hilltop's unique and nurturing environment for children ages 3-6, and the expectations of independence and responsibility for our youngest students. This meeting is required for new parents and very strongly encouraged for returning parents.
Visiting Day for New Students in the Children's House and Lower Elementary
New students in Children's House and Lower Elementary (grades 1, 2 & 3) are invited to stop by the classrooms and visit along with a parent to become familiar and secure with their new environment. Plan to spend 15 – 30 minutes in the room between 9:00 - 11:00 am.
Sixth Grade Dinner in Upper Elementary
As leaders in the UE classroom community, sixth graders gather for dinner before the start of school and discuss their new roles and responsibilities with their teachers while sharing a meal.
The First Day of School and Orientation Schedule
CH Orientation Schedule for Children's House: During the first four days of school, students who are 3 years old (by Sept 1) arrive at 8:30 am and stay until 10:00 am, while 4 & 5 year olds arrive at 10:15 am and stay until their scheduled dismissal time at 12, 2:45, 4 or 5 pm. On Monday, Sept 9, all students arrive at 8:30 am and stay for their first full day of school.

Children's House students staying beyond 12 noon on Wednesday or Friday can participate as well. Pizza and Bagel Lunches are billed for the year in October. Lunch options and cost information will be sent home during the first week of school.
Hilltop Family Picnic
Join the Hilltop Montessori School community for an early evening picnic. Pack a blanket, bring a dish to share and utensils for your family. Connect with old friends and make some new ones.
Middle School Upland Odyssey
The Middle School students and faculty start the year with a community-building 4-day odyssey (Tuesday – Friday during the second week of school) to their outdoor classroom on the Austine School for the Deaf campus. Students will be cooking, living, and learning in the outdoor classroom as well as getting to know their new community. Students will return Friday to Hilltop in time for normal pick up at 3:00 pm.
Upper Elementary Pinnacle Trip
On Thursday of the second week of school, Upper Elementary students will leave directly after school and head to UE teacher, Tom Griffith's house, at the base of the Pinnacle, in Westminster West, VT. Students have dinner at Tom's house and then head up the hill. After unpacking their sleeping bags in the three-sided cabin at the top of the Pinnacle, students spend the evening looking at stars, playing games, and telling stories. Friday morning students head back down to Tom's house for a day of games and fun. Students will arrive back at Hilltop in time for normal pick up at 3:00 pm.
Parent Orientation Night/All programs
This is an evening meeting for parents to learn about the upcoming year's curriculum, program, expectations of students, and ways to be involved in your child's education. Parents with children in more than one program should send one parent to each program level. Childcare will be provided — please reserve childcare at the front desk.
International Peace Day Celebration/September 21
Students and staff celebrate with others worldwide for a day a peace through song, readings, a peace dove procession, and a moment of silence.
Soccer Programs/LE, UE, MS/September through early November
Soccer will run from September through early November. Soccer practices for the MS will be on Mon and Thurs. UE practices will be on Tues and Fri, and LE on Wed. Hilltop offers co-ed soccer skill building for Lower Elementary students and co-ed teams for UE and MS students who play games with other area schools. Whether your student is a beginner or advanced soccer player, they will surely enjoy this serious but fun sports opportunity.
Other After School Programs
We offer a growing selection of After School Programs. These programs are taught by experts in the community who we bring in to expand the experiences of our students. A series class often meets for one hour one afternoon a week right after school for a six-eight week session. The offerings will vary from season to season and details will be announced in newsletters and be available online. Past programs have included Spanish lessons and a wilderness program. Future offerings may include sewing, mountain biking, yoga, origami, etc. If you have a skill that would make a good program, please stop by the front desk and let us know!
All School Gathering (ASG)/9 - 9:20 am
Students and staff gather weekly beginning in September for 15 – 20 minutes to share stories, learning, and events from the classrooms and sing with our wonderful music teacher, Jay Cook.
Student and Classroom Photo Day
Class photos are taken late September or early October and families can purchase individual photos of their children and a class photo.
The Annual Fund
Fundraising is critical to allowing us to provide vibrant programs at Hilltop. A healthy Annual Fund keeps Hilltop humming. Contributing to the Annual Fund is a practice in giving that we model for our children. In this instance, it's our children who benefit from this generosity. Every dime contributed to the Annual Fund serves Hilltop students by further enriching our strong programs, whether it is a new set of knobbed cylinder blocks for the Children's House, tickets to Sturbridge Village for Upper Elementary students, or computers for the Middle School.
Children's House Parent & Child Pre-Conference Classroom Visits
Mornings before Conferences October and March 8:30 - 9:15 am
Children are invited to bring their parents to school in the morning to show parents what they're working on and learning. Students are excited to have a parent's undivided attention and endorsement of the work they are doing at school. Since the classroom can get crowded we suggest one parent attend and alternate the dates.
Elementary Parent Work Shares
Every other Tuesday starting in October 2:30 - 3pm
Parents are invited to school before pick up so their children can share with them the work they do during the day. Since the classroom is crowded we suggest one parent attend at a time.
Parent Conferences / October and March
Parent conferences are scheduled for Thursday an early release day, and Friday, a no school day. Upper Elementary and Middle School students attend the conference with their parents. Parents sign up for conferences times in the front lobby.
Teacher In-Service Days
In addition to days in August before school begins and a two-day retreat in June, staff and faculty have in-service days throughout the year usually on the Monday after holiday breaks or a full day on Fridays (see the school calendar on the website for all dates). From preparing the classroom environment to professional development, these are important days for faculty, and they help improve and enhance the academic program at Hilltop.
Middle School Harvest Festival at the Putney School
This is a wonderful and important fundraising event for the Middle School trips. All families are invited to join us for the fabulous community event at The Putney School in Putney VT. Hilltop is one of many and our tent will be selling our famous homemade soups, baked goods, hot coffee, and cider.
Middle School Community Programs/Younger Mentoring/Elderly Companions/October - December
Seventh grade students work with Children's House and Lower Elementary students one morning a week and eighth grade students form a relationship with an elder from one of the resident institutions in town during this six week program.
Middle School Parent Presentation Night
Middle School families witness the science, humanities, and language work that their students have been immersed in.
Grandparent/Special Friend Day/November & May
Twice a year we invite grandparents and special friends to visit in the classroom with their grandchild or special friend and attend an All School Sing. The first is held in the fall before Thanksgiving and the second on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Those traveling long distances can choose a time of year that works best for them.
Stone Soup
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break the entire student and faculty join to prepare the soup, set the tables and share in the fall harvest as one big family. We also take this time to celebrate the soups made by Middle School students throughout the year and encourage students to bring in non-perishable foods for a local food pantry.

Re-enrollment information for the coming school year is sent to parents in February. The deadline for re-enrollment of current students is March 1. At this time all forms included in the enrollment packet as well as the annual non-refundable $375 registration fee, payment method and schedule, must be completed and returned to confirm enrollment. In order to be considered for a financial aid award, the re-enrollment contract(s) must be submitted on the due date.

New Student Applications / Applications accepted October 1 and completed by March 1
Application deadline for new students is March 1. Applications submitted after March 1 will be considered as space is available.
Parent Education Night
The Parent Education Nights are designed to deepen a parents understanding of the Montessori Curriculum at all program levels.

Strolling of the Heifers Parade/first Saturday in June
Every year Hilltop students, staff and parents create a "float" and march along with other local community organizations in the Strolling of the Heifers parade. In years past students have juggled, cycled, played instruments, skateboarded and cart-wheeled their way along the parade route. This is a great way to increase Hilltop's presence in the community and a really fun event for all ages.
Field Day and Bead Ceremony
Field Day is an all-school event with sack races, running races, obstacle courses, balloon toss and much more. After field day we all join together for the Moving Up Bead Ceremony where students welcome younger children into their program.
Hilltop Montessori Graduation/second Friday in June/5:30 pm

We set up our camp for an hour after breakfast. The rest of the day was spent with the other volunteers, mapping the site -- or getting it ready for mapping -- Nancy, the BLM archaeologist, spent the next week and a half surveying the area with a laser transit.
First we rode out in the backs of pickup trucks to the trailhead at Coyote Springs, then we had to walk about a kilometer from where we parked the vehicles, out to the site. The water table is high, and it's easy to get a vehicle bogged down in the area. We detoured around a couple or four square kilometers of marshy area with active (several gallons per minute), albeit brackish, springs. Wild horse tracks and other. . .uh. . .leavings were everywhere. East of the springs is the site -- salt-crusted mudflats and dunefields. Fortunately, Nancy ferried supplies out to us with an ATV, else we would have been carrying shovels, screens, water, coolers, and all kinds of other junk out there. We did enough walking as it was.
For the initial survey, 15 of us spread out in a line, with 5-10 meters between each of us, and we walked. If we saw something good, we sang out and someone came to flag it with a little pennant on a foot or so (pardon me, make that thirty centimeters or so) of stiff wire. The site was incredible. There were obsidian bits everywhere -- and the nearest obsidian source is 30 miles away, so you know people brought this stuff in. The flakes came from folks working stone to make tools. A significant scatter of obsidian was defined as 20+ flakes in a square meter -- and there were a lot of them. We also found ground stone (manos/metates, etc.), projectile points (aka "arrowheads"), charcoal-stained earth (from old fires), and potsherds.
The site was about 1 kilometer by 2 kilometers, and we traversed it eight times. We walked over sand dunes, through salt pans, around and through greasewood (some of it with inch-long thorns), and slogged through salt-crust and mud. Julia's combat boots, which she's had for 15 years and figured were pretty well broken in, started rubbing blisters on her heels before lunch. What with sore feet and not enough sleep, we were pretty miserable by the time 3:30 rolled around!
The second day of the dig was hotter ( I think I forgot to mention that it was blissfully overcast while we did all that slogging about on the first day -- a very rare event), but we didn't have to do all the walking, and we both had comfortable boots on (thank goodness we brought a couple of different pairs of boots each). The "head archaeologists," Dr. Duncan Metcalfe (head of the University of Utah Archaeology Center) and Nancy Shearin (BLM archaeologist in charge of millions of acres of Bureau of Land Management land in central Utah) picked two sites they wanted to dig, from the hundreds of sites we marked the day before. One had a lot of artifacts and possible features (things that aren't portable -- in this case mostly subsurface charcoal stains) -- probably Fremont Indian (Fremont: around 1000 years ago), the other was a possible site for even earlier habitation, Archaic (Archaic: around 8000 years ago) -- a very distinctive archaic style projectile point (arrowhead) was found there.
We got chosen to work on the possible Fremont site. Duncan had one of his Ph.D. students, Renee, in charge of that site, while he took the other site. He split the volunteers up in two groups, and we got pin flags, surveying pins, shovels, stakes, and measuring tapes and started mapping our site. We laid out grid lines and grid squares and mapped features all day long. Two days of hard work and we hadn't dug so much as a trowelful of dirt. So, why do they call it a dig? We found that out in the next few days.
On the first day, Nancy had used the laser transit to set up a grid line for the overall site, and from this we laid out a perpendicular grid line over to our site. We used 50 meter measuring tapes to triangulate and set up a grid system in our site. We marked it with surveying pins and laid out one meter grid squares with string for most of the site features. This ensures that everything can be pinned down (within human limits of accuracy and/or carelessness) to the nearest centimeter or ten. That way the spatial relationship of each feature or artifact to every other one is known. We gave each feature a number, and assigned a note taker for our site (did we mention that there was paperwork involved?).
The note taker was responsible for making sure every feature was mapped and described, and although she could ask other people to take notes on various features, she had ultimate responsibility for the site notes. Notes are absolutely vital. Without notes, we'd just be an organized group of pot hunters. After the site is destroyed -- and excavation does destroy a site -- you can never excavate it again. It's gone. So you try not to move anything until it's been described. Your notes have to describe everything so that you can go back to them and come to conclusions about the culture you are trying to find out about. So we do word descriptions, sketches, stratigraphic profiles, and more notes. We map in major features and artifacts. Photographs are taken of significant features and each photo is logged into the notes. Artifacts are bagged -- major ones get their own bag, others may be bagged all together by feature (37 obsidian flakes -- none more than quarter inch across and all from the same spot, would go in one bag; a desert side-notched projectile point would get its own bag) and a description of the artifacts, where they came from, and any other pertinent information is written on the bag. Each bag gets its own ID number and is logged into the notes. It takes a long time to do it all right.
Some day we hope to have less destructive excavation techniques. For now, unless the site is a "rescue archaeology" site (excavating one step ahead of the bulldozers at a construction site), current practice is to leave the better part of the site unexcavated for future archaeologists. Still -- the best techniques always come into play when you have enough time and labor. Sometimes one or both are limited and you just have to do the best you can.
A second note taker was assigned to the southern (the archaic) site. These note takers do nothing else and they're constantly busy. There's an incredible amount of detail to be tracked and recorded. There was also an overall note taker for the whole dig, which included both sites. He spent a lot of time trudging back and forth, doing overall notes and making sure the site note takers had everything they needed and were being thorough. Again, the notes are vital. If the notes get lost, the whole dig is useless -- worse than useless: a piece of history is irretrievably lost.
We began mapping the Fremont site in detail, or at least the note taker did. She documented the location of all our features and wrote up the initial site description. That completed, we started picking up and bagging all surface artifacts in each feature (a feature is something like a charcoal stain or a scatter of obsidian flakes -- an area that looked like significant activities had taken place there -- we try to define its boundaries and from then on, until the feature is closed [excavated and no longer exists], everything found in that area is assigned to that feature and described in the notes associated with it). We had about a dozen surface features.
These also included places where quite a bit of ground stone lay all together, and one place where ants had brought up hundreds of minuscule rock fragments, including a lot of obsidian flakes. As a side note, I understand that some paleontologists look for tiny mammal teeth in anthills, because the ants bring a lot of stuff to the surface
Julia and I got to bag the artifacts from that one -- it took forever because the stuff was so tiny, but we found two tiny broken-off projectile points -- very pretty, but without the bases they can't be identified as a specific type. There are a dozen or three different types with names like "desert side-notched," "rosegate corner-notched," "gatecliff pinto points," and so on. The bases are very important in differentiating them.
We also picked up and bagged (includes taking notes on the bag, of course -- did we mention the paperwork?) any remaining objects in the immediate area. These included ground stone (manos, no complete metates), a few complete projectile points (mostly rosegate or desert side-notched), hundreds of obsidian flakes ( geez somebody carried a lot of obsidian over those thirty miles from the source), some bits of bone, some potsherds, and so on. We ended up with two heavy five gallon buckets full of bagged surface artifacts from our site, which was about 25 meters by 25 meters.
Once this was done, we started digging a test trench. It's all very nice to look at the surface scatter and guess that there's something down below, but until you actually start to dig you will never know what's down there. Where to dig is sort of an educated guess. It's easier to approach something significant from the side -- you can see it in profile and use trowel work and brushes to expose it. So you want to get close enough to something to see that it's there, but be far enough away that you don't damage it with the pick and shovel that you sometimes have to use to get down in. Luck plays a big factor -- you can excavate a sterile area for weeks and never realize that three feet further to the North is the outer wall of a major settlement. You can improve that luck by moving a lot of dirt.
We started a hole 1 meter by 2 meters, sifting each layer as we dug it up. The top layer was full of obsidian chips, then there was nothing, then we got down into a layer with lots of charcoal but not much in the way of artifacts. This could have been a brush fire, so was not considered reliable evidence of human habitation. We wanted to dig down to the "Bonneville Marl," a caliche layer which was lake bottom for Lake Bonneville and so would have no human artifacts below it, but never did reach it in our test trench. We started getting very nice clay, though. Primo stuff that a potter would die for.
Julia took some of it and made a little pig -- she says she always made little pigs when she played with clay. It was indeed a work of art. We sun-dried it and put it in a sample tube labeled "cultic artifact." It was carefully entered into the expedition notes as Field Specimen 2001.
There were only a thousand and some odd real specimens and it was given its own page in the notes -- the fact that it is not a REAL specimen is made very clear in context. Fun is fun, but still... Dr. Metcalfe was much amused.

Does anybody know a font on Google Fonts that is very similar to Helvetica Neue?
That's the thing about Helvetica, there isn't really anything quite like it. We are talking about one of the (if not the) most beautiful font in existence.
You could settle for Open Sans or Source Sans Pro but it won't be the same. But you probably already know that as there are only 121 fonts to choose from.
It's not in Google fonts (I think), but the .ttf can easily be converted for @font-face. I find Liberation Sans really beautiful. Plus it renders REALLY well in most browsers, and it's free for personal and commercial use:
Arimo (see samples above and below) is identical to Liberation Sans (suggested by Yisela) and available from Google Fonts.
My current Helvetica-like font stack, which includes Liberation Sans and Arimo, is
except for large non-italic headings, for which I insert "Microsoft Sans Serif" ahead of "Liberation Sans". I give my reasons in "A multiplatform Helvetica-like font stack that suppresses Arial".
The choice between Arimo (above) and Roboto (suggested by DavidO) is a matter of taste. Roboto loads slightly faster, but Arimo doesn't need to load at all if Liberation Sans is installed. As both Arimo and Roboto are Google fonts, there's no point in using one as a fallback for the other.
I just tried the "Roboto" font and it seems OK:

Detroit, St. Clair Shores police officers face armed robbery charges
Updated On: Jan 08 2014 06:28:02 PM EST
A judge has resumed a hearing to decide if two off-duty police sergeants should stand trial on accusations that they robbed three men they suspected in the theft of a cellphone belonging to one officer's teenage daughter.
St. Clair Shores police Sgt. Michael Notoriano and Detroit police Sgt. David Pomeroy face armed robbery and other charges.
Detroit District Judge Joseph Baltimore resumed a probable-cause hearing Wednesday, with a victim's testimony. The hearing continues Friday and Monday.
Authorities say Notoriano's 16-year-old daughter and a friend biked to a Detroit gas station July 20. They say a man threw the daughter to the ground and robbed her.
Prosecutors say Pomeroy and Notoriano traced the phone to Detroit, where they confronted three other men.
Pomeroy lawyer Michael Rataj (RA'-ty) calls the charges excessive.

Greetings all! I've been looking around for the right forum to display one of my most recent projects, and on some advice from a friend, I decided I would try here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
The Case
Purchased from The Container Store, this sturdy black plastic case comes with a customizable foam insert. The configuration shown is capable of holding one RAM X50 paintball marker with attached Mark 1 accessory mount, five magazines (four double-stacked in two slots, and one in the marker), one NcSTAR ultra compact green laser sight, three laser sight batteries (two in slots, and one in the laser sight), one Mark 1 silencer, and one Barska 2.5x20 Compact Contour telescopic rifle sight.
The Pistol
Designed to imitate the appearance and functionality of SIG-Sauer's P226R pistol, the RAM X50 paintball marker fires .43 cal. paintballs or rubber balls from a 9-shot drop-out magazine, and is powered by a 12-gram CO2 cylinder which fits in the grip behind the magazine. The RAM X50 includes a number of features for greater realism, including blowback action and a functional decocking lever.
The Accessory Mount
A proof-of-concept exercise in fitting 3D-printed components to a consumer product, the Mark 1 accessory mount also serves as a prelude to further airsoft/paintball customization for client commissions. Incorporating design elements from several movie firearms (notably Kirill's accessorized SIG-Sauer P220 Sport from xXx and the Grammaton Cleric Beretta 92FS from Equilibrium), the Mark 1 features an aesthetic which meshes with that of the pistol, over- and under-muzzle mounting rails, an internally-threaded silencer mount, and a trio of venting ports which exit upwards to offset muzzle flip. Three small slots on each side of the body allow for excess material drainage from the under-barrel hollow during fabrication. The Mark 1 slides onto the pistol's integrated under-muzzle accessory rail and locks in place using a 3D-printed stainless steel set screw, which fits into one of three threaded holes on the underside.
The Laser Sight
The NcSTAR ultra compact green laser sight features an integral quick-release Weaver-style mount.
The Silencer
Another proof-of-concept exercise, this time in fitting multiple 3D-printed components to each other, the Mark 1 silencer functions as both barrel extension and sound suppressor. Printed as a single part, the Mark 1 features a threaded shaft which screws into the end of the accessory mount (blocking the compensator vents in the process), and a series of internal baffles which significantly muffle the compressed air blast of the pistol.
The Scope
The Barska 2.5x20 Compact Contour telescopic rifle sight features 2.5x magnification with a 20mm objective lens.

The .577 British rifle musket made at their armory at Enfield Lock
fired the same Minie ball and
paper cartridge ammunition as the U.S.
Springfield rifle musket. The British Enfield was popular with many
soldiers during the Civil War. The Enfield and Springfield muskets
were nearly the same identical length, weight, and used the same kind of
The mass conscript armies of both sides in the American Civil War
overwhelmed the ability to make enough guns. Particularly during
the first years of the Civil War, many foreign muskets were imported, by
both sides. Sometimes the North bought them up to keep the South
from getting them.
The Enfield musket was first produced in 1853 at the Royal Small Arms
Factory located on an island in the Lee River, drawing the name from
Enfield Lock for water transportation. The army munitions factory
opened here in 1816 and closed as recently as 1987. The
Enfield rifle musket was capable of grouping its shots into a 4 inch
circle at 100 yards and could hit a man at 600 yards. The 500
grain bullet could penetrate 4 inches of timber at 1000 yards, probably
using pine. The Enfield first saw serious service in the Crimean
War and was the British shoulder arm in the Indian Mutiny.
The Enfield had a finely adjustable rear sight. The
rear sight came with two leaves for adjustment to the three ranges of
100, 300, and 500 yards. The Enfield rear sight could be adjusted for any
range using a friction cross bar on a standing leaf. In
recreational target shooting, my Dad enjoyed make small adjustments in
the rear sight of his Enfield. The difference in actual battle was negligible.
See U.S. 58
Springfield for more information.
The Enfield was carried throughout the British Empire. Muzzle
loading Springfields were adapted to cartridge breech loading with the
Allen conversion trapdoor. The Enfield was similarly altered by a
different design known as the

I know this is from quite a ways back but just wanted to mention something. When first elected in 08, I, and I'm sure a handful others in the US, actually had this stupid hope that maybe with his background as a constitutional lawyer and professor he'd at least prevent more erosion of our rights and privacy and perhaps begin to roll back what Bush got in place. I very much regret having that tiny spark of hope (though my mom raised me on the saying expect the worst but hope for the best.) I saw that it made sense to have a constitutional lawyer work to erode it & not a blatant crime in one go.
ACLU chickened out here - they never should have settled til they were done. . .
they now have equality with baggage handlers, a lot more power, and half the brains..scarey, yes?
