The first sampler is a pineapple design that says "Welcome Friends". I am really happy with how this one turned out. I wasn't sure if I could make this one or not. I have thought of many other designs to add to this sampler. One of my goals is to make it into a Colonial Christmas sampler.
I call this sampler "Woolens". It is three sheep in a pasture. I am really happy with the way this one turned out too. This sampler came about because I was kind of stuck about what to stitch next. I decided that I had not done sheep before, so I thought I would try it.
If you have time, please let me know what you think of these two samplers. I would really like to hear your honest thoughts.
Thank you for visiting Yesterday Once More. I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you will continue to come back as often as you can. Don't forget to look for Yesterday Once More on facebook. I would love to see you there too. You can also follow Yesterday Once More on pinterest by clicking here.

Mogensen Lecture brings renowned expert on multicultural education to campus March 29March 13, 2012
|Dr. Christine Sleeter
Dr. Christine Sleeter, professor emerita in the College of Professional Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay, will present "Nurturing Intellectual Work Where You Might not Always Expect to Find It" from 4-5:15 p.m. March 29 in Room 100 of Hibbard Humanities Hall.
According to Sleeter, teachers are students' most important resources for academic learning, and despite challenges, they can make significant differences in the lives of underserved students by helping them attend to issues of poverty, and cultural and linguistic differences in effective ways. She will debunk the notion that such students are difficult to teach or that problems in their home lives hinder academic learning.
Sleeter will present strategies for teaching students from backgrounds of poverty or those who may be from immigrant or minority families and incorporate best practices that also mesh with recommendations for 21st-century leadership development.
Formerly a high school learning disabilities teacher in Seattle, Sleeter has served on the faculty at Ripon College and UW-Parkside, and has been a visiting professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, San Jose State University, San Francisco State University and University of Washington, Seattle. She currently is president of the National Association for Multicultural Education and previously served as vice president of Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education) of the American Educational Research Association. Her research focuses on anti-racist multicultural education and teacher education.
While at UW-Eau Claire, Sleeter also will hold a workshop for area educators and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff.
The presentation, hosted by the College of Education and Human Sciences in partnership with the Martin Mogensen family, is free and open to the public.
The Mogensen Lecture Series, which is part of a teacher education outreach effort, was established to honor Martin Mogensen, a 1952 UW-Eau Claire graduate. Mogensen became one of the first victims of school shootings in this country when, at the age of 46, he was killed by a student in the Tomah school where he served as principal. His daughters, Marti Mogensen and Margaret Mogensen Nelson Brinkhaus, both graduates of UW-Eau Claire, and other family members and friends support the lecture series through the Martin Mogensen Education Lecture Fund of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation. They also established a scholarship fund as a tribute to their father.
Brinkhaus and Mary Mogensen Hardie, representing the family, will present the Martin Mogensen Education Scholarship at the lecture. It will be given to a Wisconsin education major who has attained a high level of scholarship and who shows promise for becoming a successful teacher.
For more information about the lecture or scholarship, contact Dr. Marvin Lynn at email@example.com or 715-836-5832.

Welcome me...hehe
Hi, I'm reading Misery right now... it's really an awesome book and I enjoy it a lot.This is my first entry at this community... my online name (which is all you need to know) is Rigel and I'm from New York. I've read It, Desperation, Carrie, and I'm working on Dreamcatcher and Misery. Stephen King is the best. There's no-one like him. You can visit my blurty if you wish, but prepare yourself for utter randomness and strangeness.

Civil War: MARINES TO INVADE SOUTH CAROLINA
Marines and sailors will invade Jasper County, South Carolina, this week,┬ĀThe Island Packet┬Āreported on Sunday.
The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit will train in the town of Ridgeland, the county seat, in preparation for ŌĆ£deployment to Mediterranean and African shores,ŌĆØ 2nd Lt. Gerard R. Farao told the newspaper.
The training will be coordinated with local, county and state agencies and officials, including the Ridgeland police and fire departments, a Marine Corps news release states.
Residents are warned ŌĆ£training could take place at any timeŌĆØ this week in the town and they will ŌĆ£likely see and hear military vehicles and possibly see aircraftŌĆØ along with soldiers in uniform carrying weapons.
ŌĆ£Some exercises will take place at night. Residents might hear ŌĆśpoppingŌĆÖ sounds as Marines fire blanks. The blanks do not pose a hazard for residents, Farao said,ŌĆØ the Beaufort Gazette reports. ŌĆ£Although there is no danger, Farao said residents should stay away if they see training under way or uniformed personnel.ŌĆØ
Military training exercises simulating urban combat are now routine across the country. Last week we reported on exercises in┬ĀMiami,┬ĀHouston┬Āand┬ĀGalveston, Texas. Over the past year, the Pentagon has conducted training exercises ŌĆō often without warning and to the surprise and concern of civilians ŌĆō inMassachusetts,┬ĀLos Angeles,┬ĀSouth Florida,┬ĀSouth Dakota,┬ĀMinneapolis,┬ĀWisconsin, and elsewhere.
The Pentagon insists these exercises are necessary for urban combat situations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in the months ahead, Africa, where it insists al-Qaeda is active.
However, the exercises have a more immediate and important function ŌĆō to acclimate civilians at home to the presence of combat soldiers working in concert with militarized police with the blessing of local officials (and often with┬Āfunding provided by the federal government).
The founders understood that standing armies pose a serious┬Āthreat to liberty. ŌĆ£A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,ŌĆØ said James Madison. He also warned that no ŌĆ£nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen,ŌĆØ warned MadisonŌĆÖs vice president, Elbridge Gerry. He added that standing armies are ŌĆ£the bane of liberty.ŌĆØ
Thomas Jefferson lamented that a provision against standing armies was not included in the Constitution. ŌĆ£Nor is it conceived needful or safe that a standing army should be kept up in time of peace,ŌĆØ he said in 1801. ŌĆ£The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force,ŌĆØ he wrote to Chandler Price.
Far too many Americans understand the great danger a standing army ŌĆō and one that actively trains with local police, often at the behest of ŌĆ£an overgrown ExecutiveŌĆØ ŌĆō is to the preservation of liberty.

How do I have free xm radio in my vehicle?
I just brought a 2009 sonata and it has 100+ xm stations and I didn't subscribe for it.
Right now, XM is doing a free trial for all cars that were equipped with Satellite radio.
My sister has an '11 Sonata that she bought in April, 2010. She hasn't had satellite radio in a year and she now has it, again, for a limited time.
That would be only temporary.
It could also be that the prior owner had a subscription and didn't bother cancelling it.
At some point, the service will stop.

I have the worst British genes!!! I have never had nice teeth. Ever! Now there chipping and almost beige. The worst part is that I am TERRIFIED of dentists. So I haven''t gotten them fixed yet. Well, then there's the fact that I can't afford dental. So I guess there's one for me to work on. Thanx for the inspiration Fernweh!

This central Córdoba hotel is just a 10 minute walk from both the train station and the Mezquita. It offers air conditioned rooms with satellite TV, a safe and minibar.
Score from 1478 reviews Good
Location in the old Town was very convenient for the important sites. Internal decorations were excellent and atmospheric, facilities were also very good.
The rooms are beautifully decorated and quite luxurious especially the bathrooms
Like all courtyard pensions, this was a little noisy, but not too bad.
Location perfect for the old part of Cordoba. Hostal decor and style of the room was lovely. Parking available too for 10 euros a day Staff helpful and friendly
great atmosphere, very friendly staff
no sleep when needed (may depend on room) - you can here your neighbours sleep etc.
very cute hotel, lots of character. very friendly and helpful staff - all staff.
no wifi in room, very small shower.
Moroccan athmosphere
Barely slept, had a room at the front of the hotel and there was so much noise on the street all night long that we had a poor night of sleep
the decor the location close to everything. it was big enough for 4 adults and clean.
It was a very well located hotel where you could get some rest during the hot hours of the afternoon. Very peacefull, beautiful decoration and friendly personnel.
The hotel is very charming in the architecture and decor. The location was fantastic, less than a 10 minute walk to the Mezquita, and lots and fantastic restaurants and shopping. The hotel's parking garage is fairly close and safe.
Cordoba was a very stressful city to drive/navigate. As we were driving, the hotel was a little difficult to locate, though I think any hotel would be stressful to locate if driving.
If you want to really feel the spirit of Córdoba have to stay at this hotel. Filled with magical charm of the Arab spirit. Here you can really feel in the Arabian tale. Very good location for visiting the main tourist destinations. There is parking nearby.
The bathrooms , the bed , everything was very clean wich was important , the location not so very good just pay close attention to the signs , good restaurants a round it and the Roman bridge , the mesquita wich are the famous tourist attractions are just 10 min away on foot. So I would recommend this place to anybody.
Perfect location. Romantic and funky Moorish decor. Very helpful and friendly staff, but not at all intrusive. I got a terrible tooth infection and the one of the staff made phone calls for me and gave me directions to a dentist and told me what I should get at the pharmacy for pain. A great value too I would definitely stay there again.
You have to go into the lobby to connect to wifi but that is probably a good thing since being in Cordoba is an opportunity to connect to extraordinary historical surroundings...no need for virtual experiences.
The ambience was great--like exotic Morocco.
Small bathroom with tiny shower .
We stayed one night, and it happened that the boiler broke down and there was no hot water both in the evening and in the morning. On the positive side was that the staff have made an effort to find me another room where there was hot water to take my shower (although they took all morning to do that and wasted a lot of our time).
The room I had booked was not available, and we were given a cheaper room, which of course was far less comfortable, as it was in the attic and therefore extremely hot. The ceiling was so low that we couldn't stand up in the room (and we are very short people), so bed was just a mattress on the floor, and we had a terrible time sleeping and the pillow was hard as a stone. The aforementioned absence if the hot water was a big problem too, and the owners did not even offer a discount for the mess-up. We were also forced to pay by cash instead of card, as we were told that the payment terminal wasn't working that day. Withdrawing cash carries a high fee on my account, so I specifically choose hotels that allow card payments. Overall, we felt that we were robbed at every step of the way, and the hotel owners were crooks.
The moorish decor and all of the little touches with seating alcoves, textiles patterns and artwork made this a very charming place to stay. We also enjoyed the location as we could easily walk to the Mezquita; a must see. The hotel also had paid parking in their lot across the lane which was very convenient. The A/C worked very well considering it was a 36 C day.
As there was no lift carrying our bags up a flight of stairs was a bit of a strain but we knew this in advance. There was only one electric plug in our family room, the lighting was a bit dim.
Really friendly staff especially with an unexpected birthday surprise! Really nice room too.
Great location Atmospheric hostel Helpful staff
central position, foot distance from the centre, moorish decor
Mørke små værelser
Warm and friendly service.
Bathroom needed more soap/shampoo but this is hardly considered a complaint.
Great value for money. The hotel looks really nice. Rooms face an indoor patio. The rooms were decorated in a moroccan style and we really liked it. Clean room and good bathroom. The location is also great. A lot of good restaurants nearby and walking distance to the mosque.
Room was quite dark. Not enough sunlight came through the very small window and the lights weren't so bright.
The Moorish decor is lovely .
The entrance
The installations are NOT what it seems, the laundry isnt clean, there is no reliable staff and the parking near Pascoa is not accessible. The price for a triple room is way excessive.
The location and friendliness of the staff. All the important sites are in walking distance and there are plenty of places to dine and wine.
Getting direction was complicated and between noon and 3pm the English speaking staff were not available and if one does not speak Spanish that becomes somewhat difficult. But this should not by any means discourage staying there. On the hand it is part of the charm of the place and the people they run it.
Location, cleanless, value for money.
The reception staff performed a noisy conversation late in the evening, so we couldn't sleep. A/C didn't work - it was hot in the room.

Through the Looking-Glass - Lewis Carroll
The second Alice adventure, and another book I wish I had read as a child, as I would have liked it quite a bit. The wordplay and the poems are a lot of fun, even if some of the references are a little archaic to modern ears. All in all a fun couple of books.

Kenactiv Innovations Inc. Brings Professional Strength, Environmentally Responsible Spill Response To Retail Market With FiberZorb™ Kenaf-based Sorbent
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FiberZorb™, a kenaf-based sorbent for clean up of motor oil, solvents, paints, cooking oil, gasoline and other spills—previously available only to industrial customers—is now available for the retail market. Kenactiv Innovations' (OTCQB: OPHID) ("Kenactiv") new retail formulation of FiberZorb™ was recently determined in independent testing to be 15X more effective than the category leading clay-based sorbent. It was 1.5X more absorbent than a leading perlite-based brand and 4.4X more absorbent than a nationally available recycled natural fiber sorbent.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130125/NY48332LOGO)
In side-by-side tests simulating typical residential and workplace spills such as motor oil on concrete and cooking oil in the kitchen, FiberZorb™ was determined to be the best at clearing the spills and restoring a safe walking surface to ceramic tile. FiberZorb™ also cleans up faster and easier than clay-based products. Super absorbent kenaf locks spills within its porous and highly fissured particles, while with clay-based sorbents and kitty litter liquids adhere weakly to the outer surface of the clay particles and continue to drip during collection.
"There is growing concern about accidental introduction of contaminants into our environment, and the impact of the products we use to remediate them," said Jack Galvin, EVP of Sales at Kenactiv. "That's why we are bringing FiberZorb™ to the retail market. Home and business owners deserve access to the same tools industries use to deal with spills for health and safety reasons, as well as liability, but also for the health of their communities and the planet."Kenactiv manufactures FiberZorb™ from U.S. farm-grown kenaf, a rapidly renewable crop that converts more CO 2 per acre than tropical hardwoods. A 1999 U.S. Navy study found the core of the kenaf plant to be the most absorbent natural material on earth[1]. Nontoxic and biodegradable[2] FiberZorb™ offers consumers a highly effective and sustainable alternative to mineral based products, which are mined, or synthetic petroleum-based products. Although widely used, clay-based sorbents generally contain crystalline silica, recognized by the World Health Organization as an IARC Group 1 carcinogen, the same category as asbestos. Crystalline silica is a lung carcinogen and, if inhaled, can cause silicosis. The EPA's National Water Quality Inventory ( http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/nps/urban_facts.cfm) reports that runoff from urbanized areas is the leading source of water quality impairments to surveyed estuaries and the third-largest source of impairments to surveyed lakes. Storm-water runoff, and improper remediation of household and commercial contaminant spills, carry pollutants such as oil, solvents, and household and lawn and garden chemicals directly to streams and rivers, where they negatively impact water quality. FiberZorb™ for retail is sold in user-friendly 8 lb. packages for the home and small business consumer. Twenty lb. packages are available for larger institutional and commercial users. FiberZorb™ has earned the USDA BioPreferred designation and satisfies federal procurement requirements for bio-based products.

KOMU Scales Back Interactivity on Google+ Newscast
KOMU's interactive newscast is moving to noon and scaling back on Google+ involvement from viewers beginning later this month.
Jennifer Reeves, the interactive director of the Columbia NBC-affiliate, told TVSpy the interactive newscast is not being cancelled, noting that the only changes are "the show's time, name and format changes to boost its professionalism."
"We're scaling back on how we present interactivity in a way our audience is more wiling to accept," Reeves said. "This is partly the challenge of bringing new delivery to a traditional space." Read more

My 8-year-old female English cocker spaniel has recently developed an obsession for eating paper and other things. My displeasure does not seem to stop her for long.
Could she be lacking something in her diet? She eats high-quality dry food, maintains a healthy weight, and is in overall good health. Is there anything I can feed her to keep her from craving these forbidden things? I am afraid she may get a blockage.
S.D., Annandale, Va Mar 20, 2011
Any time a dog develops a compulsion to chew and swallow non-food matter (a condition called pica), a thorough veterinary checkup is called for. Chronic oral inflammation, abdominal discomfort (as from internal parasites or cancer) and nutritional-deficiency diseases (such as anemia) can lead to pica.
It is important to rule out possible physical/medical causes before considering behavioral/psychological reasons. The latter includes boredom, no available safe chew toys, addiction to the taste or texture of certain materials, and displaced "cleaning up" behavior.
Certainly the possibility of intestinal obstruction following the ingestion of a lot of paper, which could require surgery, is something to avoid. Many years ago, we had a dog that enjoyed snacking out of the cat litter box, and one day he broke down the barrier and consumed at least a pound of the litter. An early diagnosis and emergency enema saved his life!

He began to pray that God would enable the Fellowship Baptist Church to establish a ministry to the Spanish-speaking people who desperately needed to hear the gospel in their native tongue. He shared his vision with the members of the church, and they too began to pray for God to help fulfill their pastor's vision. In 1996, the Lord answered those prayers and the Spanish department of Fellowship Baptist Church was established!

I'm a fan of alternate transportation methods. It makes life different, and cheaper, and sometimes more inconvenient, but definitely more interesting. One of the things I love about living in a little city, like Portland, is how it makes transportation easier. Whether you're biking, walking, taking the Streetcar/MAX, riding the bus, car-sharing, or some combination, it doesn't take ages to get to the "other side" of the city.
I've been using car-sharing (Zipcar to start) since January of 2008. At the time, I was just getting ready to go traveling for a year, so in preparation for selling my car, I signed up to try it out and have a backup just in case my car sold earlier than expected. When I got back to the States in 2009, I ended up not repurchasing a car, and have been using Zipcar, and Car2Go ever since.
So in an effort compare the current car-sharing services in Portland, here's how they stack up:
Annual Fee: $50
Initial Application/Setup Fee: $25
Rates: from $8.50/hour, from $69/day
Service Areas: 39 states/provinces in North America currently (& some in Spain/UK)
Availability: sprinkled all around the city
Membership info
When/why to use Zipcar:
The thing Zipcar has always had going for it, is the cars. Zipcar seemed pretty revolutionary when they started. You could rent a regular car with zero hassle. And if there was a zipcar parking spot close to you, you pretty much felt like you had a car for whenever you needed it, so long as the neighbors didn't hog it.
Zipcar was recently acquired by Avis, so I'm expecting more fees to start creeping in at some point.
Annual Fee: $0
Initial Application/Setup Fee: $35
Rates: $0.38/min, $13.99/hour, $72.99/day
Service Areas: nine North American cities currently (& some in Europe)
Availability: currently 300 cars in Portland
Membership info
When/why to use car2go:
I signed up for Car2go last summer, and one of the biggest selling points for me using Car2Go is that more often than not, I don't need a car for exactly one hour or more. Plus, I don't want to make a reservation for an exact time in the future. When I'm running to meet friends for happy hour, I want transportation that's fast and flexible — I don't want to have to agree to one hour of car rental etc, if I only need to drive 10 min in the rain, and I have a ride home. This is where Car2Go is awesome. You pull up the app, see that there's a car a couple blocks away, reserve it (the reservation holds it for you for 15 min), and you're on your way.
Another thing Car2go beats Zipcar on is location. I know off the top of my head that the closest Zipcar parking space is 2 blocks away, and is a more expensive vehicle type, so the closest car that I usually reserve is about 5 blocks away. With car2go, there could be one right outside my door, or a mile away. Obviously, I'm not pleased when I really want to car2go and the closest one is a really long walk in the opposite direction that I need to go. And of course, Car2go's are little Smart cars so they don't drive as smoothly as a "regular" car. It took a little bit of getting used. I thought like they felt kind of like a go-kart at first, but I don't notice it anymore.
Car2go is a Daimler company, so not exactly the 'startup' that Zipcar felt like when they started, but fine by me. It feels like a very innovative project coming from a bigger company.
Car2Go wishlist: app notification that you can select 'notify me when there's a car within x distance from me' so if I know I want to go somewhere at some point in the next few hours, I don't have to keep pulling up the app to refresh.
Another newbie to the car sharing scene is Getaround — think Airbnb for your car. I haven't used this service yet though.

When I first went car-free, back in Mpls, ZipCar and HourCar were my options, but I never went with either of them because of their relatively limited locations and distance from me. It ended up making more sense for me to load all my laundry into my backpack and bike to the laundromat, say, than bike a couple of miles to the ZipCar, bring the car back to my house, load it up for a laundry run, and then have to ride home from dropping the car off afterward. (It was laundry days when I really missed my car.) For longer trips, I'd do full-on rental cars, which were available at the airport, an easy public-transit ride away. Then David moved out, with his car, and I've been in personal shared-car nirvana since!
Anyway, I love the idea of public car-sharing programs, and I hope they continue to expand and become more useful! I'm glad they're working so well for you!

Web Mail
Ok I have pointed a domain name to the mail server I can send e-mail from web mail no problem but I cant send mail to it. Dont know why.....
One point to mention is that when suse is starting up I get a warning that postfix is trying to start on ip xxx and port 21 but proftpd is already started on that ip and port "(default installation)". Is this part of the problem and if so how do I fix it, if not how do I fix it anyway.
One final question where would the mail logs be kept if I did a default installation.
OK cant find anything in the conf file for any port of ip settings, if you want I can post the file on here and you can look, incase I missed something.
Is there anything else I can try...
I am sure that when I installed it I did the check when you connect to localhost on port 25.... not sure of the command now but I did that and it worked.
Fixed the port problem I now get no errors when the server starts, which is a good thing, but I still cant send emails to the server...... emails are going out ok but just not coming in.
Any suggestons anyone....
Did you get any errors in the mail logs?
Did you select the correct mailstorage format for your setup in ISPConfig (Maildir or Mbox)? If you are not shure waht to select, just change it and send an email to see if it arrives.
Where do I change that setting again???
Ok changed the dir --- no change
so the maildir is now unchecked
anything else I can try
I've sent you a private message. Maybe I can help you but I need to login on your system to see what's going on. :)
Ok so any more suggestions on what to try next..

home page knowledge base past & present Rais Tower (Renfrewshire) - Past & Present
The Tower of Rais, also known as 'Stewart's Rais', was built in the reign of James II and stood on a bank above the Levern Water. It was recorded as being 'square in form with very thick walls'. The ground floor was vaulted and it rose to a conspicuously corbelled parapet. In later years it found use as barracks.
As late as 1782 a great part of the tower was standing with its 'battlements and cornices' but in the 19th century it was adapted to house the beam engine that pumped water out the nearby colliery.
When the mine was worked out the engine house was dismantled and the walls allowed to fall into ruin. The site was robbed to provide building material for the houses of Barrhead. Enough was still standing, however, in the early part of the 20th century to attract notice until in the late 1930s the Council had it totally demolished as 'a danger to children'.
The site is now surrounded by public housing but the 'River Levern Walk', which has an interpretation panel at the site, gives easy access to the grass-covered mound which marks its location.

From the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation
-- Opportunities to attend an Oklahoma hunter education class between now and the Nov. 20 opening day of deer gun season are plentiful. Most hunters need the certification to hunt deer without supervision.
Hunters have about 40 class dates to choose from across the state before deer gun season arrives, with more than 30 classes scheduled for Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 alone.
"People have busy schedules," said Lance Meek, hunter education coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "The courses are a huge benefit to those sportsmen who couldn't make it to a class earlier in the year. There have been more than 350 courses throughout the year, and we've made a special effort so no one will need to drive too far to find a class the two weeks before deer gun season."
In recent years, the Wildlife Department has offered even more last minute courses during the weekend prior to the opening day of deer gun season, and according to Meek, the turnout is worth the effort.
"Hunters have responded well," Meek said. "Last year, we certified 3,236 students the two weekends before deer gun season. That's almost 20 percent of the number of students certified all year."
Courses scheduled between now and deer gun season will debut the Wildlife Department's new hunter education manual, designed specifically for Oklahoma hunter education students. Curriculum for the manual was developed by the University of Central Oklahoma with oversight from Department hunter ed instructors. Since it is an Oklahoma specific manual, unlike the manuals used in the rest of the country, students will see more Oklahoma scenes and situations.
"The majority of the manual focuses on safety and ethics, the most important things you can teach new hunters," Meek said.
To hunt big game or small game alone, hunters ages 10 to 35 must be hunter education certified. Hunters age nine and under who are hunter education certified can hunt big game or small game alone except during youth deer gun and turkey seasons and on public lands, where additional regulations may apply.
Hunters exempt from hunter education include those 36 years of age or older, those honorably discharged from or currently on duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and members of the National Guard.
Oklahomans not exempt from hunter education and not hunter education certified may be eligible to hunt with an apprentice-designated hunting license. For full details and license requirements, visit http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/courses.htm or consult the current Oklahoma Hunting Guide.
Hunters who can hunt with an apprentice-designated hunting license are encouraged to complete a hunter education course.
Courses on Nov. 6 and 13 will be held in Ada, Antlers, Ardmore, Bartlesville, Bokchito, Broken Arrow, Broken Bow, Burns Flat, Enid, Grove, Jenks, Kellyville, Lawton, Locust Grove, McAlester, Miami, Midwest City, Newcastle, Oklahoma City, Prague, Sallisaw, Stillwater, Sulphur, Tishomingo, Wagoner, Wayne, Wister and Woodward. Some courses on these dates require two day attendance. Others are offered as home study courses.
Hunter education covers topics including firearm safety and handling, treestand safety, ethics, muzzleloader hunting, archery, wildlife identification and wildlife management. It is available as a standard eight-hour course, an online home study course and as a workbook home study course. It is strongly recommended anyone planning on hunting or shooting complete a hunter education class.

Those who read this column regularly know that many of my theories and conclusions are derived from the notion that things should be kept simple. Everything can be divided into simpler, more manageable elements; achieving goals comes through disassembling the parts, understanding them, and then reassembling them. I have also observed that any solution to a particular problem, even a current one, has usually been seen previously. For example, many people believe Henry Ford "invented" the automobile; however, the truth …

"Honey? What are you doing down there?"
Clattering at the foot of the shadowy staircase stops abruptly, replaced by the sound of someone trying not to make a sound.
"Oh boy, don't even tell me you're working on those human head-body chimera plans again."
After a long moment, a solitary cough echoes off the basement floor.
Many of us know this scene all too well -- torn between home life and the professional demands of experimental surgical fusion of human body parts. Perhaps no one would be more familiar than those close to Dr. Robert White in the 1970s. The Harvard-trained neurosurgeon famously devoted much of his career to what he called a head transplant. In 1970, he "succeeded" in carrying one out, on a monkey.
I qualify succeeded because, while that's the way it was publicized, the monkey chimera remained paralyzed from the neck down. Despite having a machine do his breathing for him, he died after eight days ... only a number of hours of which he was conscious.
The surgeons basically connected the blood vessels, but not the money part: the spinal cord.
"R's head, previously fixed in a Mayfield three-pin fixation ring, will literally hang from the stand during transference, joined by long Velcro straps. The suspension apparatus allows surgeons to reconnect the head in comfort."
So, big whoop, right? Wasn't there a story about a kid in your neighborhood who put the head of one animal onto the body of another and got it to stay alive for a little while? But this scene was more agonizing than anecdotal or whimsical, as Case Western neurosurgeon Jerry Silver remembers it: "When the head would wake up, the facial expressions looked like terrible pain and confusion and anxiety in the animal. ... It was just awful. I don't think it should ever be done again."
White was convinced, though, that his work with cephalosomatic linkage surgery in the monkey was pretty much proof that it was "fully accomplishable in the human sphere." By 1999 he said it was "now possible to consider adapting the head-transplant technique to humans."
People called him a genius. Gave him honorary degrees. People also call(ed) him crazy.
Jump forward to 2013, when last month Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero said that we have at last figured out that issue of connecting the spinal cord. The head transplant is now feasible, said Canavero, and he has a project called HEAVEN that's going to do it.
HEAVEN stands for Head Anastomosis Venture, which is a poor choice of acronyms in an industry constantly sidestepping God-complex accusations. Maybe it's like, ironic in a super self-aware way. That would be unique among the pages of the journal Surgical Neurology International, though, where Canavero dives deep into the specifics of how HEAVEN will work. So deep that we arrive at the existential.
For example, is it a head transplant? Technically it would be a body transplant. Identity remains with the brain. Doesn't it? If the chimera were to have sex and bear a child, though, it would have the genetic identity of the parent's body, not its head.
In Thomas Mann's 1959 novel The Transposed Heads, which is based on a traditional Indian folk tale, the two male protagonists behead themselves, and their heads are magically reattached, but to the other's body. One man's wife, Sita, subsequently has difficulty knowing which to take as her husband: the head or the heart.
Canavero does convey only the most benevolent of intentions, writing of the potential to use head transplants in patients with "horrible conditions without a hint of hope of improvement [that] cannot be relegated to the dark corner of medicine." He mentions tetraplegic patients, those with multi-organ failure, or intractable cancer that involves much of the body but not the head. The first patient to undergo head transplantation, though, "should be someone, probably young, suffering from a condition leaving the brain and mind intact while devastating the body, for instance, but by no means exclusively, progressive muscular dystrophies or even several genetic and metabolic disorders of youth."
Silver remains a non-believer. Earlier this year his team successfully fixed the spinal cords of rats that had them completely severed. Others have done it for dogs and pigs. When Danielle Elliot at CBS asked Silver about Canavero's proclamation that all of this could be done in humans, though, he laughed. "It's light years away from what they're talking about." Silver's experiments involved a clean cut to the spinal cord, and nothing but the spinal cord, and not involving a second animal. He told CBS, "To sever a head and even contemplate the possibility of gluing axons back properly across the lesion to their neighbors is pure and utter fantasy in my opinion ... Just to do the experiments is unethical."

In this paper, the drying behaviour of Malaysian padi was studied using the thin layer method. Characteristic drying curves of padi were determined using an environmental chamber. The experiments were conducted over a temperature range of between 30°C to 70°C, air relative humidity from 30% to 80% and air velocity from 0.12 to 1 m/s. No constant rate periods was observed. Mass loss, temperature, relative humidity and air velocity were monitored on a personal computer. From the drying curves, two falling rate periods were observed, namely an initial rapid drying period and a subsequent gradual drying period. The normalised drying rate versus normalised moisture content was regressed by least square method to fit a new polynomial model for the first falling rate period and a linear model for the second falling rate period. Both the polynomial and linear models estimate the falling rate periods quite well

At the heart of the MicroConverter tool suite is a Download/Debug Kernel embedded onto each chip that allows a "back door" interface to the microcontroller core and Flash/EE program and data space. This is what makes many of the unique MicroConverter development tools possible.
The Download/Debug Kernel enables each MicroConverter for...
*The ADuC7xxx products (with ARM7-core) feature JTAG emulation, and so the kernel is not required for debugging or emulation, and is used only for serial downloading.
And since it's fully self-contained and embedded onto each chip, there's no need for a "monitor" program occupying your code space when debugging. The Download/Debug Kernel is invisible to the chip during normal operation, but is there when you need to perform downloading, debugging, or emulation operations.
Note that there is inherent security built into the Download/Debug Kernel. After the chip exits Download/Debug mode into normal operation, code is inherently "locked" from Download/Debug read access, and manual re-entry into Download/Debug will result in erasure of the code space.
In an effort to continually improve the functionality of MicroConverter tools, as well as the products themselves, Analog Devices will from time to time make enhancements to the On-Chip Download/Debug Kernel.

An isolated band of indigenous peoples living quietly along the Peru-Brazil border emerged in early June, seeking aid for health issues. Disturbing evidence of violence against this group is now surfacing, proposing that many of their elders were murdered and their houses set on fire. World War 4 reports:
The majority of old people were massacred by non-Indians in Peru, who shot at them with firearms and set fire to the houses of the uncontacted. They say that many old people died and that they buried three people in one grave. They say that so many people died that they couldn't bury them all and their corpses were eaten by vultures.
The group is thought to have fled from drug trafficking and illegal logging. First contact was caught on video, where three young members trade bananas and other goods. Leaders in Brazil's indigenous affairs office proclaim a need for urgent protection for these individual groups and their lands.
Survival International director Stephen Corry said: "It's vital that Brazil and Peru immediately release funds for the full protection of uncontacted Indians' lives and lands. Their economic growth is coming at the price of the lives of their indigenous citizens—now, their newfound wealth must be used to protect those few uncontacted tribes that have so far survived the ongoing genocide of America's first people."

Now that Thanksgiving is done I've been working on Christmas cards. I've been making paper too so I just HAD to make a card using the new papers. This card is layered with a highly textured green paper and a red (well, it's sorta pink) paper that is also highly textured. It was quick and easy. I plan to make more to send out to friends and family this year.

Good Night, Betty
A little over a year has past since we said good night to Betty. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. As expected, I can now look back on our time together in a warm way and often without tears.
CattyDaddy takes you on the adventures of two gay dads and their daughter. Check out his column for vignettes about their experiences as a two-dad family. Joe, Greg, their daughter Elly and dog Betty live in Cambridge, MA. Joe AKA CattyDaddy is a stay-at-home dad and Greg is a physician. Elly is a busy, curious toddler and Betty spends her days keeping up with her human baby sister. You can also follow CattyDaddy's broader musings on life at www.cattydaddy.com.
