No. I have no such fear. Besides, her new smartphone is too smart to let her use it.
I have thought about it, but never done it.
no way - if I thought that, I'd just ask - going through someone's phone is a betrayal, too
It sounds like you just already know and wanted the proof. I'm sorry.
@ juleswillo1 You deserve your privacy - everyone does. People will betray you but that doesn't give anyone the right to take others' rights away.
@ GuerraBlack Even though I don't know you, I am sorry. And, I will say that someone who cheats once, will most likely do it again. The way you describe it, it's like she did it on purpose.
@GuerraBlack As awful as it must have been to find out about her, thank god you did - she sounds like a piece of work. :(
I'm not sure I even know the rules anymore. And, I'm thankful I don't have to play anyway. I'm not a trusting person, by nature. Helps to keep from getting hurt.

Posts tagged: Idaho health insurance exchange
Billboards bashing Idaho legislators for their votes on a state insurance exchange have begun popping up in their legislative districts. Idaho Freedom Foundation chief Wayne Hoffman says the signs are part of his group's lobbying campaign to get Idaho's exchange repealed in the legislative session that starts in January, but others say the effort appears aimed at Idaho's upcoming 2014 elections, in which every seat in the Idaho Legislature will be on the ballot.
"That looks a lot more like campaigning than lobbying to me," said Jim Weatherby, Boise State University professor emeritus and a longtime observer of Idaho politics. "It's not a traditional way of lobbying the Legislature to use billboards – in fact, I'm hard-pressed to give an example of that." Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, who is among those targeted by name on the signs, said he views his local billboard – which is right near the hospital where he practices medicine – as an "effort to try to gin up a political opponent" for him in May's GOP primary. "I think that's what it's designed to do, to be very blunt about it," he said. "It's political advertising."
Hoffman, whose organization, a tax-exempt charity, is prohibited by law from engaging in campaigning, said, "We don't get involved in elections – this has nothing to do with elections. It has to do with public policy." He added, "They are a vehicle for lobbying lawmakers as well as the general public on an issue that will be before the Legislature in the 2014 legislative session." Wood countered, "They push that envelope all the time."
Two of the billboards have gone up so far; Hoffman said more are in the works. The first, in Burley, targets Wood, House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley; and Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert. The second, in Mountain Home, names Rep. Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry, and Sen. Bert Brackett, R-Rogerson; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
After two days of operation of Idaho's health insurance exchange, Executive Director Amy Dowd is offering this advice to those who are experiencing delays once they hit the federal application website, to which they're routed from Idaho's Yourhealthidaho.org site: "For those who may be having difficulty, when you get to the healthcare.gov application, you may see a 'holding page' for a few minutes before you enter the application process. If you're at the holding page, do not refresh your browser or leave the page. If you do, you will lose your place in the virtual line to get into the application."
Dowd said Idaho's Yourhealthidaho.org site had 18,000 unique visitors its first day alone. In the first two days, Idaho's call center took more than 800 calls and answered more than 100 emails.
"Due to the high volume of interest, our application through healthcare.gov has been experiencing longer than expected processing times," she said. "We know that this is frustrating, but we really appreciate everyone's patience. We have heard that Idahoans are getting through and that applications are processing." Click below for Dowd's full statement.
The Idaho health insurance exchange board has selected Boston-based Public Consulting Group for its biggest contract, for professional services including information technology. The $1.4 million pact runs from July 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2014, though either party can cancel with 30 days notice. The firm is charged with handling eligibility and enrollment, consumer assistance, plan management, Medicaid integration and more for the exchange, for both Track 1, in which the exchange will start signing people up Oct. 1 with some assistance from federal systems, and Track 2, in which the full function of Idaho's exchange will be Idaho-based, including the technology platform.
Paul Buckley, director of government affairs for the firm, said its Idaho exchange work will be managed out of its Denver office. Public Consulting Group is a provider of management consulting services to state, county and municipal governments across the nation, with a growing presence in Canada and Europe as well. It mainly focuses on health care, but has expanded into education, human services, and government information technology as well. You can read the full 22-page contract here; the exchange board announced it at their public meeting Thursday afternoon.
A tight deadline to get Idaho's health insurance exchange running means its designers are aiming for a streamlined, straightforward web site to greet consumers when they log in for the first time come Oct. 1, the date enrollment begins as part of President Barack Obama's plan to make sure most Americans have insurance coverage, the Associated Press reports. Amy Dowd, the exchange's director, said the emphasis will be on creating a functional web site to allow individuals and small businesses to shop for insurance policies online with a minimum of confusion.
In a recent editorial, Bloomberg View lauded Idaho Gov. Butch Otter for the state's approach, writing, "In Idaho, Butch Otter is one of just a handful of Republican governors to set up insurance exchanges on their own or in partnership with Washington. Its design will reflect Idaho's small-government philosophy — providing a minimalist, streamlined approach, potentially offering a stark contrast with the bells-and-whistles exchanges envisioned by neighboring Oregon and nearby California. The state expects two benefits. Its exchange is more likely to be up and running on time, and its low overhead costs will be passed on to insurers in the form of lower assessment fees. That, in turn, may lead to lower premiums for people buying insurance.Governors of both parties should thank Otter and his state's Republican legislators. If Idaho's no-frills exchange succeeds in producing lower costs and fewer glitches, it could offer a new model for other states to follow."
AP reporter John Miller reports that Idaho's exchange doesn't aspire to a "Cadillac-style" offering, instead shooting for a dependable, utilitarian vehicle that's clean, clear and concise for users from the day it goes live in just 2 ½ months. Click below for Miller's full report.
"We view the site as an ever-evolving destination where we can add additional information as needed," Dowd said.
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Health coverage policies sold via Idaho's insurance exchange will cost an average of $240 per month, a figure based on the price tag of proposed policies submitted to the state Department of Insurance by insurers aiming to participate. The figure, announced Thursday in Boise by the exchange board, is merely an average. It doesn't reflect rates policy holders will actually pay, depending on their financial circumstances, eligibility for federal subsidies or their benefits package. But it offers a first glimpse of how President Barack Obama's plan to provide health insurance coverage to more Americans may impact thousands of Idaho residents' pocketbooks. State insurance regulators are now reviewing insurers' proposed policies. The exchange aims to begin enrolling participants Oct. 1, with coverage starting Jan. 1, as required by the 2010 law.

25621 - Last night I went out to the bar with my husband and some other people. I ended up drinking more then I should have and partook of some smoking as well. Turns out my husband's nephew was there. I know he's had a thing for me since we met. (Let me back track a little and give you our ages: my husband is 30, I'm 25, and husband's nephew is 22.) Well "nephew" was really try hard to get with me. At first I declined his advances, but alms the night went on I drank more. I kissed him a few times, but pushed back and would stop myself. Fast forward: we (me and nephew) went to the waffle house while we waited for my husband to pick us up. He was giving drunk people a ride home and picking up our dog. (Not enough room in car). Nephew kept feeling me up under the table. By this point I was so drunk I didn't care. Husband finally gets there, but goes back outside to keep an eye on the dog. We pay and head to the bathroom, but instead of continuing on to the boys bathroom nephew fallow me and locks the door. He took me then and there for a quicky. I wished the confession ended there, but it does not. We all went back to nephew's house for some joking and smoking and every time my husband went to take the dog out I would give him head. I feel guilty and ashamed, but also a little thrilled and exhilarated.
Latest Taboo Confessions:
25615 -
It started when I was 14-15, I was babysitting the neighbors children for the night. After the kids went to bed, I had let the dog out to do his business. Watching him with his long pit wasinty dick made my pussy tingle. When he came back into the house, he headed straight my crotch and started sniffing. Being on my period plus the smell of tingling pussy must have been what he was looking for cause his nose would not leave that area. Taking it one more step, I got a towel, set it on the couch cushions and pulled my shorts and panties down, inviting the dog to sniff more.
Next thing I know, I am laying back with my legs spread wide apart, with the dogs tongue lapping on my bloody pussy. Instantly I had my first orgasm. After the climax and coming down, I heard a car pull up next to the house so I hurried to get my pants pulled up so not to get caught.
Since then, every chance I get, when I am with a dog, my pussy gets eaten. I like to spread butter or peanut butter on my pussy if I am not on my period and I have yet let a dog mount me, but maybe someday.
25456 - When I was younger I forced my girlfriends younger sisters to have sex when they slept over our house they were 11and 9. I was a junkie at the time and have much guilt for my actions. I raped them 6 times and never touched another girl again. Though they never said a word and I never was caught I went though a stage where I tried to kill myself and was depressed for long time. This still eats me up inside and it has been many years. i still feel I have no privilege living on this earth because of my actions. Just wrote this really to see if anyone could relate to my story...
25409 -
I am a 30ish white, queer, feminist.
I want to be used. No, not some bullshit lame gangbang fantasy, I want to be sold into the life of being the most toxic filthy piece of garbage ever used as a cumdump.
I want to be forced to bareback homeless men.
I want to be the star of the donkey show.
I want to be raped, repeatedly by my father and brother.
I want to be locked in the zoo for the viewing pleasure of wealthy deviants who will pay to watch me go cage to cage, and let all the animals use me. I am especially wet thinking about the gorilla cage...
I want to be forced to choke down the cock of disfigured, mutated, retard, sickly, disease ridden men.
I want to be locked in an asylum, tied down and spread eagle for the most violent, criminally insane to come taken from my body whatever vile sexual needs they have.
But mostly, I just want someone with someone sick enough who loves me enough to use me kike I crave to be used.

One Tree Hill Series Finale Synopsis: Old Faces, New Possibilitiesby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Coming off its most heart-pounding episode of the season, One Tree Hill is in the home stretch now.
Only three episodes remain in series history.
And while next Wednesday's installment - aptly titled "Danny Boy" and previewed here - will focus on the fate of Dan Scott, The CW has released the official network synopsis for the April 4 series finale.
What can fans expect from this two-hour event? As detailed by The CW:
In the final chapter of One Tree Hill, the tenth anniversary of Tric brings old faces and new possibilities for the Tree Hill family.
Not exactly spoiler-filled, but let's face it: would you really want it to be? Let's just sit back instead, prepare the box of Kleenex and prepare to say our goodbyes in a few weeks.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: One Tree Hill, Spoilers
I have to say I hope Dan dies. I got to love him kind of this season, but it would be a great ending for OTH.
And please, god, give us a REALLY CHEESY and DRAMATIC Naley reunion.
I am so glad they are putting this show out of its misery
I'm actually gonna be so upset if Dan Scott dies.
@jason: don't have your hopes high for that as she is not coming.. it was announced a very long time ago that she is not coming..
I'd be really shocked if we don't see Peyton.
It would be great to see Tim and Bevin again and their baby boy Nathan:) cool!
Tell me again why are we ending such a great program?
Or Jake and Jenny stopping by the cafe.
It would be cool to see Sam visit Brulian and their boys before the series ends.

Business Technology Analyst Interview
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Deloitte.
I was hired via Naukri.com. Was invited to the office where about 1400 other candidates across al technologies and upto 9 years of experience were present.
There were 3 F2F rounds.
Round 1: Core Technical: Was grilled on core java, spring, JDBC and HIbernate, Most questions were on OOPS concepts, multithreading, classloading, serialisation, even reflection, The interviewer tried to confuse me with absolutely no expression on his face whenever I answered. I had no hopes of getting through Until he told me I was clear
Round 2: Taken By a manager. Was asked to write some SQL queries. Also was asked to write the Java API String Reverse code.
Round 3: Was asked questions based on project by another manager. Was told about the tough working environment I should expect here.
Round 4: Versant test. Basically tests your grasp on US accent.

I was recruited via campus recruitment. First round was an online aptitude test, basic questions, speed and accuracy were the key to cracking it. The results were declared a week later. The second and third rounds were held in the same day. The second round involved a Case Study about a firm planning to expand it's business via database management and other technical enhancements to the existing business, this was followed by 4 questions; working in a team of 8 people, we were supposed to come up with the answers to these questions. The third round was the personal interview, the interviewer checked my basic coding skills, asked me about my internships and interests.Interview Questions

Business Technology Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied in-person. The process took a day – interviewed at Deloitte in November 2014.Interview Details
It was a one day process. My interview was scheduled at 11 a.m. When I reached the venue I observed that a huge crowd had turned up. Looking at the list which the security personnel had, I can guess they called around 1500+ people.
The higher management was taking a session for all those who were waiting for their slots in the conference hall, which was good actually. They were very interactive and professional. I was called up for the interview at around 12:30 along with all those who were in my slot. We waited in one of the floors after submitting our CVs.
My interview started at 2:30, the first round was very very easy. Simple basic questions that even a fresher can answer, went on for 15 mins. Came back to the waiting room and waited for the next round.
The next round started at 4:30 and it also went on for maximum 10 mins or so. Same questions as the first round.
The other 2 rounds were a bit quick, which includes the managerial round and a Versant test. The final round took place at 7 p.m. which was just a formality.
In all the entire day was tiring, also the questions asked were just not up to the standards. It was more like "I am here to select you, so lets get this over with" than "This is an important position in a big organization, let see who capable you are"
After getting selected, the salary offered was way beyond expectation, just like a service bases company, due to which I had to reject the offerInterview Questions

All other questions were just basic. No where related to technical competency. As they were hiring in bulk I suppose they wanted the process to end quickly. Answer Question

I have been working at deli expressPros
Dealing with great customer and working at own pace. Good benefit package 3 week a year after 2 years. Company provides uniforms at no charge including shoes.Cons
Pay is not very good unless you think 12.50 per hour is good. Most route sales rep work 50 plus hours per week and make around 39000 to 40000. Pay at Deli Express for route sales rep used to be much better till employees received a pay cut. Vacations have to be scheduled months in advance and maybe you get it maybe not. Driving in bad weather during winter. Working in cold freezer.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Please remember how Deli Express was founded by Earl Sween and how he respected his employees that had been loyal to company .

Model, actress and radio personality Pearl Thusi was in a car accident that left her and her daughte.
Warrant Officer November Filander said police were searching for four men after four women were attacked on Friday night.
"An argument ensued between them, whereby one of the women was fatally stabbed and another one slightly wounded," Filander said.
"The suspects fled the scene on foot. A case of murder is being investigated."
Luleki Sizwe, an organisation that supports lesbian, bisexual and transgender women, said Sihle Sikoji was stabbed because of her sexual orientation.
"It is a hate crime... The men approached them and said they act like boys. When Sihle said they were not boys but lesbians she was attacked and stabbed with a mini-spear," founder Ndumie Funda said.
"Incidents like this occur too often in townships and informal settlements. We are deeply hurt and depressed by her death. She was a vibrant young woman."
Sikoji was stabbed once in the chest.
Funda said the police and the justice department were in contact with the family and organisation. Funeral arrangements had not been finalised.
Filander said investigations were continuing and no arrests had been made.

OMI Corp has placed an order for two 156,000 deadweight tonnes (dwt) Suezmax crude-oil tankers for delivery in January 1999 and May 2000.Friday, 14 August, 1998, 12:00am
The 135,015 deadweight tonnes Suezmax tanker Knock Buie will be converted into a floating production, storage and offloading vessel for use by Ranger Oil in Angola's offshore Kiame field.28 Jul 1997 - 12:00am
ALTHOUGH fixing last week was about recent levels, there has been a marked improvement in rates.
Some 14 very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and one ultra-large crude carrier (ULCC) were fixed during the week, totalling around four million tonnes, but the majority of this came in the last three days, putting pressure on rates.26 Apr 1993 - 12:00am
TANKER prices improved slightly last week though the dry-freight market remains mostly wthout direction, with rates hardly varying from most recent levels.
Greek owners have been by far the dominant force in second-hand purchases, with a number of concluded sales last week and many inspections of vessels taking place.10 Feb 1993 - 12:00am

It seems to me like you can blame the US for that factoid...
...since we essentially caused the Islamic Revolution via our foreign policy boondoggles in the first place.
I won't go so far as to say it's an ideal place for jews, but I stand by my point that the Iranian leadership is focused on zionism and its effects, instead of jews and judaism in general. Jews are protected by the Iranian constitution (as are other religious views), guaranteed a seat in government, and generally allowed to live their lives in peace with their own yeshivas, hospitals, newspapers, and so on.
And regardless - if you've taken any courses on psychology, I'm sure you've heard "correlation does not prove causation". I'd call it likely that the israeli right of return also figures in here, looking at the pre-'48 numbers.
This is a political issue, not a religious one. The religious effects are peripheral and secondary, and merely distract from the root causes.

We visited RedCurrent last week in their new digs in downtown Minneapolis and this article was the result. Thanks for the great writeup!
"One Minneapolis' Woman's Cinematic Journey Begins with a Sellout"
Race day finally arrived in the Icebox of the nation and our film crew found themselves toasting bagels and swilling coffee at the BestValue Inn in International Falls in preparation for their 5:45 AM crew call to film the Arrowhead 135.
The dark Monday morning was much warmer then expected, a full 30 degrees above zero! We loaded our gear with apprehensive excitement in anticipation of the unknown. Everyone had their assignments and knew what to do, but we had no idea how it would go.
We were about to capture one of the toughest races on our planet, the Arrowhead 135, which began in International Falls and followed a snowmobile trail 135 miles through Voyeguer's National Park and beyond, all the way to Fortune Bay Casino. Racers were allotted 60 hours to complete the course and chose their mode of travel prior to the start by foot, bicycle or skis. There were only three checkpoints along the way and many, many miles of frosty wilderness. Completely self-supported and carrying their own provisions, 138 racers launched down the trail for an epic adventure and only 35% of them crossed the finish line. It was a relentless race full of unexpected turns.
Our mission was to follow three specific racers: John Storkamp on foot, Bonnie Moebeck on bike and Mark Scotch on skis. Each of these competitors were gracious enough to join our crew a few days prior to the race for interviews and shots on the trail. We were joined by Colin Threinen and Scott Banac of Cine Flight Pictures with their alien-like octocopter (8-blade helicopter) and Jeff Engel on his snowmobile to hit the trail and capture some exceptional aerial and steadicam footage.
Interviews and aerial shots in the can, we waited for the rest of the crew to arrive in International Falls. As soon as they drove into town, they were put to task filming the pre-race meeting and received their first taste of what was to come. The excitement was high and the questions were many. How would the cameras handle the cold? How would we track our racers for 135 miles through the wilderness? How would our fingers and toes survive waiting at the trail crossings for our selected racers to pass by? We knew of 38 roads that crossed the snowmobile trail. Our plan was to separate into three crews and leap frog those trail crossings for the next 60 hours until the end. The plan worked.
We arrived at race start in the dark and waited. The first task was to find the racers. Mark was spotted right away and Bonnie a few minutes later. We searched and searched for John, who we later found out was rendezvousing at McDonald's until 8 minutes prior to the start. Eventually, we found him and rolled cameras just in the nick of time. With the race director Dave Pramann illuminated by street light, we caught the spark of the gun and the racers were off! And, so were we.
For the next 50+ hours we jumped from trail crossing to trail crossing tracking our racers. It didn't take long and Mark shot ahead on skis, while Bonnie and John kept in close distance of each other. We ran. We waited. We shot lots of Instragram photos (#amongthewild) of each other to pass the time. Then, the snow storm hit.
While waiting for the 3 racers at checkpoint one, 35 miles into the race, the snow began to fall. It began light, but didn't stop. The warm temps made standing outside all day bearable for the film crew, but the racers arrived drenched in sweat and snow, a bad combo for cold weather racing. We began to learn how difficult the trail was becoming for the bikers as the heavy, wet snow piled up higher and higher.
Mark was the first to arrive on skis. He was in good condition and took a break inside the gas station to fuel up and dry off. He told us his energy was starting to drop, but overall, he was doing well and soon he was off. Next came Bonnie and her partner Dave, soaked to the bone. We caught up with them inside as they took a long break to dry their clothes and rest up before heading out again, unaware that the snowfall would soon become relentless. While they were resting, John strode in to slam some Poweraid, take short rest and be off down the trail. They were all still in good spirits, though uncertainty was certain and everyone acknowledged the trail was becoming more difficult. Our crew shifted and a few of us headed back to headquarters for a couple hours of sleep and night began to fall.
With my alarm set for 1:15 AM, my car's crew was up and packing to head out by 2:00 AM. Sarah Jeffrey, our master chef, had lovingly packed our brown bag lunches and we set out for checkpoint two. However, we barely made it out of the cabin and we were met by the storm. Our cars were blanketed in inches of snow that had fallen in the past few hours. Not comprehending what this meant for the racers, we knew it was bad for us. We had 45 minutes to make it down the highway and a 10-mile gravel road to checkpoint two on unplowed roads. Highway 53 was a breeze, but we were met with deep snow and two ruts to follow the entire 10 miles to the checkpoint at Melgeorge's resort. We had crossed paths with Brett and Brian Piekarski from our crew who alerted us to the conditions. They informed us they had just pulled a car out of the ditch and our other crew (Chris Hergott and Nikki Aune) had rescued a biker wandering aimlessly down the road. With sleep deprivation setting in and the elements in full force, we pushed forward and made it to checkpoint two.
The scene was beautiful and eerie, like a bicycle graveyard. Piles of bikes were covered in snow outside of the cabin with their lights still blinking in the blackness. We pulled out the cameras and began to shoot, and just as we began to capture the scene, a snowmobile pulled up with Bonnie and her partner Dave. The trail had become nearly impassable for the bikers. We started to hear stories of how the bikers were being forced to push their bikes through 10 inches of snow and many of them were requesting rescues with possibly hours of wait time as the limited number of snowmobile drivers worked endlessly to ensure everyone's safety.
Bonnie and Dave were out of the race. Exhausted and soaked they took reprieve inside the cabin and we waited for John. We learned that Mark had arrived much faster than expected and by the time crew #3 (Chris, Nikki and Brett) had caught up with him, he was fast asleep for a short break in one of the cabins. They became his personal paparazzi and staked out his door to catch him before he skied off into the night. John, who estimated from past races to be at checkpoint two in about 9 hours, instead arrived 15 hours after leaving checkpoint one. Day had broke, it was still snowing and racers were dropping like flies.
Day #3 is a haze. Crew #1 (Adrian, Cliff, Monte and I) hung out at checkpoint two while John recouped and Bonnie dried out. Crew #2 (Dan, Rick and Laura) were 30+ miles down the trail trying to stay one step ahead of Mark. He was in the lead for skiers and we had to separate our crews to keep track of him. Brett and Brian arrived back at checkpoint two to pick up Bonnie's bike and give racers a ride back to International Falls. Crew #1 broke for a short nap to be well rested in order to catch the finish. Crew #2 and #3 shared and swapped shifts and to stake out checkpoint 3 for John (they got some great footage of him napping on his Pringles can), while continuing to track Mark. The end was in sight.
Waking up a couple hours after falling asleep, calculations put Mark at the finish line around 10:30 PM, so we aimed to arrive there by 9:00 PM. A mere 20 minutes or so after we pulled in, Mark was closing in. I waited in the bushes below the hill with the walkie talkie to alert the camera at the finish. The night was cool and quiet, and he was clearly visible as he approached lit up by the lights of Fortune Bay Casino. He skied in with grace. It was hardly noticeable he had just skied 135 miles for 38 hours straight. He slowed to talk with me before the finish. I was so proud to watch him ski up the hill and cross the finish line! What an accomplishment! John was still out there and our crews were still tracking him.
Daylight broke again and our crew headed out to the finish one more time. This time we were all there to witness John cross the finish line 51 hours after his first step in International Falls so long ago. The atmosphere was celebratory and John was in good spirits. He strode straight up the hill and over the finish line to talk with us on-camera for some time before heading in.
All the crew had become quite attached to our three racers and felt as though we had raced with them. There was a great sense of pride and accomplishment with smiles all around.
We would like to give a huge thank you to Head O Lake Resort for sponsoring the filming for this event and providing excellent lodging for our crew.
We also need to give a big thank you to our three racers for being willing participants and Dave Pramann, the race director, for letting us be constant presence throughout the race.
And lastly, but definitely not least, I would like to thank the Arrowhead 135 film crew for doing such an amazing job and giving their all under difficult conditions and lack of sleep. I never heard a complaint and they brought home many, many hours of gorgeous footage.
Now, it is time for us to edit. We have hours upon hours of footage to navigate, so it may take some time. But keep your eyes peeled, the plan is to have a short film that will inspire all the racers in Arrowhead 135, 2014.

Surrounded by the colors of autumn and a warm blue sky, Adventure Minnesota Films hosted the Among the Wild Fundraiser at Minnehaha Park on Saturday, September 29th. It was a gloriously beautiful fall day and the event went off without a hitch. Participants of the "Minne-Wild" orienteering scavenger hunt returned muddy and beaming with rave reviews. Blue Yodel #9 and The Maybe's rocked the stage, and nearly $6000 in prizes were given away! Attendees had a wonderful time and the atmosphere was positively radiant.
View pictures from the event here.
The nominees present received a well-deserved round of applause, and the nominations team took the stage to open the four golden envelopes with the winner's names inside.
Our Decision
Choosing the four winners proved to be a very difficult task for the nominations team. There was no wrong answer.
We needed four athletes that would help us tell the broader story of adventure in Minnesota. There were many factors to consider. We needed a variety of ages, genders, sports and locations. We also had to take into account on-camera presence, time constraints and the feedback we received from our fans on Facebook. In addition to the above four winners, we also announced two runner-ups should we need to alter plans at any point in the next few years as we progress through the film project: ultra-runner John Storkamp and extreme hammock camper Trevor Rasmussen.
Pictured from left to right: Tony Locken (Red Dangler), Ryan Zimny (Red Dangler), Bonnie Moebeck (Endurance), Jeff Engel (Climber), Anthony Balsiger (Red Dangler). Not pictured is Justin Bakken because he was busy winning the #1 overall national championship title for adventure racing at the 2012 Checkpoint Tracker Championship Race in West Virginia with his team, WEDALI.
Moving Forward
The current plan is to begin by filming Bonnie Moebeck attempting to cycle the Arrowhead 135 for her first time in January of 2013. We have many details to finalize before this can happen, which means the "current plan" is subject to change at any time.
We will keep you up-to-date as we progress on the film project and will send a newsletter when we have something important to say. If you are interested in being a part of this project, shoot us an e-mail and let us know how you'd like to participate.
Thank you once again to our event sponsors at the Among the Wild Fundraiser: Outward Bound, The Gear Junkie, Wild Adventure Race, Thrive Adventures and Rocksteady Running. We had a very successful Kickstarter campaign and fundraiser event. In just 30 days, we raised $15,000! Thank you to everyone that contributed! You made it possible for us get this project off the ground. Filmmaking is an expensive endeavor, and we will continue to seek funding through grants and corporate sponsorships until we are able to complete the entire series.
We are very excited to begin filming! Stay tuned for future adventurous updates.

Nathan Borer was born in a blizzard in Hollywood, MN. On top of that, his middle name is Northstar. That alone should qualify him to be in a film about Minnesota! However, beyond that, Nathan is a hard-core kiteboarder that has tested the limits in skateboarding, snowboarding, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, anything-on-a-board-boarding. He's kiteboarded Lake Superior, winched on the thawing ponds of Minnesota and snowkited the open fields and backcountry.

RE: Menger relations
Steve -- I am indeed related to the Mengers and vistited the cemetery in Tunkhannock two years ago. Mary Josephine MENGER (1855-1924) was my 2nd great Grandmother. She was the daughter of Johann Adam MENGER and Margaret Barbara FRANTZ. I have some information on the family, but not much -- you might actually have more than I do.
Much of my information on the Menger family is on geni.com -- do you have access to that site? A good place to start browsing my data is at:
.. that is Johann Menger's page -- he is my 3rd great grandfather. Are you related?

Quote: I also found a stone for Elvira C. Baily, died 1865, consort of Rev J. S. Bailey if you are interested.
YES! That is Rev James Starke Bailey's wife. By chance is his marker there?
I am pretty sure that any Bailey that you find around there will be of kin.
So exciting! Thanks for making my day with my 3rd Great Grandparents memorial photos.

It beautifully covers all the basic concepts of linear circuits in a simple and easy-to-understand way. In addition it helped me manage and sort all the basic concepts.
"thanks bookboon" :) ★★★★★
liking this book a lot, very clear concepts, all helpful diagrams, including Ahm meter and the Voltmeter, the tables. suggestion: could display the units table, maybe include Ohms) before the section on electrical load.
It clearly explains the concept of circuit designing and useful for begineers
Mcenoch O ★★★★☆
The best introduction in electric circuit, In fact far better than what am used to in the class. Am loving it. Those little things not talked about in class are simplified.
This book covers fundamental aspects of electric circuits that form the core of many engineering disciplines. In particular, basic circuit elements and their characteristics are presented when connected in an electric network. In addition, techniques to analyse and solve electric circuits are explained in a simple manner and examples are shown to demonstrate each strategy. DC as well as AC circuit analysis is provided with a brief account of filters in the end. Difficult electric circuit concepts such as sinusoids and phasors are explicated in an effective way so that basic understanding can be properly achieved.
This book on the subject of electric circuits forms part of an interesting initiative taken by Ventus Publishing. The material presented throughout the book includes rudimentary learning concepts many of which are mandatory for various engineering disciplines including chemical and mechanical. Hence there is potentially a wide range of audience who could be benefitted.
It is important to bear in mind that this book should not be considered as a replacement of a textbook. It mainly covers fundamental principles on the subject of electric circuits and should provide a solid foundation for more advanced studies. I have tried to keep everything as simple as possible given the diverse background of students. Furthermore, mathematical analysis is kept to a minimum and only provided where necessary.
I would strongly advise the students and practitioners not to carry out any experimental verification of the theoretical contents presented herein without consulting other textbooks and user manuals. Lastly, I shall be pleased to receive any form of feedback from the readers to improve the quality of future revisions.

Dangers of Vitamin B Deficiency You Should Avoid
Vitamin b is a complex comprising of multiple vitamins that play crucial roles in the body. Vitamin b deficiency can cause serious health dangers and there are various symptoms that can alert you of low levels of this vitamin in your body. Some people such as vegans are at a high risk of suffering from vitamin b deficiency and this can pose grave dangers to their body and general wellness. Here are some of the dangers that you might expose your body to for not having adequate levels of this rather crucial group of vitamins.
Skin disorders
One of the top effects associated with vitamin b deficiency is skin disorders. Generally speaking, vitamin b plays a very crucial role in keeping your skin healthy and a deficiency of this vitamin can wreak havoc on your skin. For instance, the deficiency may cause symptoms like dry skin, dermatitis, wounds, frequent bruising and cracks at the mouth which may at times take very long before healing. To protect the health of your skin, it is of paramount importance that you avoid vitamin b deficiency as it will seriously tarnish the good looks of your skin.

Vitamin b deficiency is also greatly associated with various fatigue symptoms that can be very dangerous to your health if you are not careful. In most cases, this usually comes in the form of poor coordination, muscle weakness and your muscle mass becoming wasted away which are all symptoms that can possibly occur. Soreness or pain in joints or muscles should also be a warning of vitamin b deficiency. This is also the same case with tingling or numbness in the toes and fingers and it is essential that you seek immediate medical checkup in case you spot such symptoms.
Other additional symptoms
There are many other symptoms that should warn you that you could be suffering from vitamin b deficiency. For instance, mental effects like headache, confusion, irritability or insomnia could be as a result of a deficiency of this vitamin. Some people are also highly sensitive to light when they have a deficiency of this vitamin. Another very common sign of vitamin b deficiency is anemia not forgetting gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, nausea and diarrhea which could also develop. A deficiency of vitamin b can be very harmful particularly for expectant mothers as it can lead to severe neurological birth.

ClassicsOnline Home » MONSIGNY, P.-A.: Deserteur (Le) (Sharp, Labelle, Monoyios, Newman, Opera Lafayette, R. Brown)
Monsigny and Sedaine's brilliant opéra-comique Le Déserteur, was an immediate and lasting success for its melodic charms and musical variety, its blend of comedy with moments of great sentiment and pathos, and its intellectual radicalism prefiguring the humanitarian ideas of the 19th century Romantics. This recording features the musical items only from this forerunner of the 'rescue' opera, in which the heroine Louise extricates her fiancé Alexis from prison and a death sentence. A written explanation of the action between the airs is provided in the booklet.

Sedaine and Monsigny and the Genre of Opéra Comique
Developed by theatres at the Paris fairs of St Germain and St Laurent, opéra comique provided an outlet for exposing to ridicule the Paris Opéra's tragédies lyriques with their stories of gods, kings and heroes from antiquity. Opéra comique featured daily life characters (peasants, lawyers, doctors and merchants) in plots criticizing the fashionable modes of thought, and the failings and the extravagances of contemporary society. Originally the music used for the lyrics of opéra comique consisted of popular songs (vaudeville tunes). By the 1750s the lyrics accompanied original, rather simple tunes (ariettes), and vaudevilles were relegated to the final curtain song. Characteristically, these works were referred to as "comédies à ariettes" (comedies with songs). In the 1760s, spurred by the success of the Italian intermezzi such as Pergolesi's La serva padrona, the very talented librettist, Michel-Jean Sedaine developed a dramaturgy that better integrated the music to the action and emphasized the sentimental aspects of his plots more than the comic ones. He found in Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny a composer whose melodic originality and innate dramatic sense was every bit his equal. Together, in producing Le Roi et le fermier (1762), Le Déserteur (1769), and Felix ou l'Enfant trouvé (1777), they created a new kind of opéra comique where music was no longer an ornament but was intimately bound to the conception and the unfolding of the drama. These works appealed directly to the heart of their audience and were successfully performed in France, Europe and the United States well into the nineteenth century. Berlioz much admired Monsigny's Le Déserteur when he attended a performance in 1843. He wrote in the Journal des Débats of 12th November, 1843: "I believe indeed that the feeling for dramatic truth and the expression of passions and characters have not been carried further in any musical composition for the stage."
Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729–1817)
Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny was born in Fauquembergues, a small town in the Pas-de-Calais between Saint-Omer and Montreuil, on 17th October, 1729. He was the first born of seven children of Nicolas Monsigny and Marie-Antoinette Dufresne. He studied at the Jesuit college of Saint-Omer where one of the Jesuits, Father Mollien, taught him how to play the violin. In 1748 the death of Monsigny's father forced him to find a position to help his widowed mother and his siblings. He went to Paris and, in 1749, entered the service of Mr. de Saint-Julien, the receiver general of the French Clergy. However, he pursued his musical studies with Pietro Gianotti, a double-bass player of the Paris Opéra, student of Jean-Philippe Rameau and author of a Guide du compositeur published in 1759. His first opéra comique, Les Aveux indiscrets (The Indiscreet Confessions), was performed at the fair of Saint-Germain on 7th February, 1759. It was followed by two more successes: Le Maître en Droit (The Master in Law) in 1760 and Le Cadi dupé (The Duped Cadi) in 1761. At about that time he met Michel-Jean Sedaine, the librettist of Philidor, and in 1761 they produced a charming opéra comique in one act, On ne s'avise jamais de tout (One Can Never Be Aware of Everything). This was the beginning of a very fruitful collaboration which produced, in 1762, Le Roi et le fermier (The King and the Farmer) based on Robert Dodsley's The King and the Miller of Mansfield; in 1764, Rose et Colas; and in 1766, Aline, Reine de Golconde. In 1768 Monsigny joined the household of the Duke of Orleans and in 1769 produced Le Déserteur, again on a libretto of Sedaine, which was an immediate and lasting success. Monsigny composed two more works on librettos by Sedaine: Le Faucon (The Falcon), in 1771, which was not very successful, and Felix ou l'Enfant trouvé, in 1777 which is arguably his best work. In between, in 1775, he produced his one opéra comique to a libretto by Charles Simon Favart, La Belle Arsène. Having lost the sight in one eye due to a cataract and fearing to become blind, he stopped composing for the remaining forty years of his life and died in Paris on 14th January, 1817.
Michel-Jean Sedaine (1719–1797)
Born in Paris on 2nd June, 1719, Michel-Jean Sedaine was also the first born of seven children, to Jean-Pierre Sedaine, a stone-mason and architect, and Marie-Jeanne Gourdain. Following in his father's footsteps, Jean-Michel began his career as a stone-mason, and then became a foreman and assistant architect. In his leisure time he wrote poetry and published his first album in 1752. It was a success and a second edition was published in 1760. He soon turned to writing for the stage. His first opéra comique was Le Diable à quatre, 1758, after the ballad opera by Charles Coffey entitled The Devil to Pay, or The Wives Metapmorhos'd. He then produced three works to music by Philidor: Blaise le savetier (Blaise the Cobbler), 1759; Le Jardinier et son seigneur (The Gardener and his Lord and Master), 1761; and L'Huitre et les plaideurs (The Oyster and the Litigants), 1759/61, before meeting Monsigny with whom he collaborated on several very successful opéras comiques. Later, when Monsigny's production slowed down owing to his loss of sight, Sedaine collaborated with Edgidio Duni (Les Sabots, 1768, and Thémire, 1770), Philidor one last time with Les Femmes vengées, 1775, and Grétry (Le Magnifique, 1773, Richard Coeurde-Lion, 1785, Le Comte d'Albert, 1786, Raoul Barbe-Bleue, 1789, and Guillaume Tell, 1791). Sedaine also had a successful career in the theatre with plays such as Le Philosophe sans le savoir, 1765, and La Gageure imprévue, 1768. The Revolution ruined him and he died in Paris on 17th May, 1797, leaving his wife and children penniless.

Conductor's Notes
What was new about Le Déserteur in 1769 that contributed to its enormous and widespread popularity in the late eighteenth century, and what made it so influential to subsequent works of musical theatre? Its melodic charms and the musical variety of its different airs are immediately apparent. Other elements, however, may not be, perhaps because we have become so used to them in opera since that time. These include an overture which is very specifically programmatic, scenes in which both the serious main character (Alexis) and the main comic one (Montauciel) are on stage together alternating airs, a central heroine who saves the day, and an extended final scene built around the vaudeville-like theme which opens the work.
Monsigny and Sedaine's blending of comic moments with moments of great sentiment and pathos plays out in countless ways. A few things to note include the double-entendres in the text of Jeannette's first air, which give this strophic song its humour, and the contrasting drama and unusually dark key (F minor) of the duo between Alexis and Jeannette. In Alexis's troubled recitative towards the end of the first act, the plaintive oboe motif indicating his beloved Louise after "Réponds, réponds" must have been noted with interest by Berlioz. In the second act, Montauciel's weak syllables on high notes ("C'est blesser toutes les lois," indeed!) contribute delightfully to his drunkenness. Just before the return to the A section of Louise's tender Romance in which she reassures Alexis of her love, there is a tremolo shudder in the strings indicating that Alexis knows he is condemned to death even as Louise does not. The comic duo ending the second act is a musical joke, a performance of two contrasting characters' songs at the same time. (To accentuate this, one early choreographer had Bertrand bending down on the main beats while Montauciel straightened up on them.) To fully comprehend the air with its false accents at the beginning of Act 3 that makes fun of Montauciel's illiteracy, we must know that the words he spells out but does not understand, "Vous êtes un blanc bec", mean essentially, "You are an idiot". Of Alexis's three lonely prison scene airs which follow, it might be noted how the very expressive first one, "Il m'eût été si doux", with the prominent bassoon line, echoes "Lieux funestes" from Rameau's Dardanus. Monsigny's writing is richly imaginative and rewarding, and consistently reflects Sedaine's intentions.
Presenting opéra comique today poses several challenges that other forms of opera do not. First of course is how to present the extensive dialogue and story not conveyed by the music, and in what language. In our live performances we commissioned an English narration for an actor who played an elder Montauciel looking back in time and telling the story. For this recording we chose to record only the music but provide a short written explanation of the action between the airs in the booklet. Scholars such as Raphaëlle Legrand have shown us that the actor-singers of the Opéra-Comique had very specific dramatic and musical characteristics which the librettist and composer kept carefully in mind while writing these works. In contemplating restaging them today in their entirety, with dialogue, one imagines that a troupe of actor–singers with as much experience on Broadway as in the opera house would provide the appropriate mix of musical and theatrical pleasures.

Act I
Louise, her father Jean-Louis, her aunt Marguerite, a friend Jeannette, and Bertrand, a cousin of Alexis, have all gathered to plot a ruse aimed against Alexis at the behest of the Duchess, the landlady of their village on the border of Flanders. Not too far from their village, the French army is assembled, ready for battle, and awaits the visit of the King of France to review the troops. Alexis, a soldier in the French army, is in love with Louise and has been sent back to his village with a message for the Duchess. Louise has asked him for a rendez-vous under the elm tree but instead the Duchess has instructed that Alexis should see a mock wedding procession in which Louise will be the bride and Bertrand the groom. Jeannette is to break the false news to Alexis, thus hastening his return to the army before the King's visit. Louise is distraught at the thought of the grief Alexis will be feeling (Ariette: Peut-on affliger ceux qu'on aime? [2]) but must obey her father and the Duchess. Jeannette awaits Alexis under the elm tree, and Jean-Louis has her practise the song she will sing when Alexis arrives, (Ariette: J'avais égaré mon fuseau [3]). Jean-Louis leaves. Alexis presently arrives, exhausted from having climbed with speed up the hill to the village, drops his uniform, his sabre and his knapsack and sings of his pleasure at seeing his beloved Louise (Ariette: Ah! Je respire [4]), whereupon he spots the mock wedding procession passing by. He turns to Jeannette, who is beginning to sing her song, and asks her what wedding party this was. After hearing confirmation by Jeannette that this was the wedding party of Louise with Bertrand (Duo: Serait-il vrai? [6]), Alexis gives vent to his grief (Ariette: Infidèle, que t'aije fait? [7]). A few soldiers passing by observe Alexis and believe that he is intent on deserting the army. They question him and after first denying it, Alexis, out of despair, admits to deserting in order to put an end to his life (Quintet: Fuyons ce lieu que je déteste [8]).
Act II
In prison, Alexis reads the love letter he had received from Louise a few days earlier and wonders how she could have been so duplicitous (Ariette: Mourir n'est rien [10]). A fellow prisoner, Montauciel, tries to cheer him up by inviting him to drink wine with him while reproaching him for having deserted (Ariette: Je ne déserterai jamais [11]). Thereupon Louise arrives. Montauciel leaves them alone. Alexis heaps reproaches on Louise who tries in vain to explain the situation (Duo: O Ciel! Puis-je ici te voir? [12]). Finally, Alexis calms down long enough for Louise to tell him about the ruse of the Duchess. She then gently reproaches him for having so little faith in her (Ariette: Dans quel trouble te plonge [13]). Jean-Louis arrives and Alexis, wanting to confide to him alone, asks Louise to leave them. Jean-Louis confirms that it was all a ruse concocted by the Duchess, but Louise returns, alarmed, having just learned that Alexis will be executed for having deserted (Trio Fuga: O Ciel! Quoi tu vas mourir/Console-toi [14]). Alexis is called out to stand military trial. Jean-Louis learns from the jailer that Alexis will be executed in about five to six hours and rushes out to inform the Duchess and ask her to intervene to prevent such an injustice. Louise resolves to ask the King to pardon Alexis and rushes out. Bertrand arrives and is met by Montauciel who enjoins him to drink and sing (Bertrand's Air: Tous les hommes sont bons; Montauciel's Air: Vive le vin, vive l'amour). They then sing together their chansons (Duo) [15]
Act III
Montauciel, who is trying to learn to read and write, is very impressed by Alexis' fluency in these matters. Alexis encourages him to keep studying and Montauciel tries reading a sheet of paper he has been given (Ariette: V, o, u, s, e, t, et te [2]). This is very distracting to Alexis who asks Montauciel to leave him alone, promising to read his sheet of paper after he has finished writing his letter. Alexis writes his adieu to Louise (Ariette: Il m'eût été si doux de t'embrasser [3]), then reads the sheet of Montauciel's, where, it turns out, an insult is written. Montauciel takes offence and a scuffle ensues. Alexis punches the nose of Montauciel and leaves. A messenger, Courchemin, arrives, and recounts that he has witnessed a young girl running across fields to meet the King and ask him for the pardon of her lover (Ariette: Le Roi passait [4]). Couchemin believes the pardon was granted because she was given a letter and every one was crying "Long live the King". Drum rolls are heard. Alexis laments that he shall die without seeing Louise again (Ariette: On s'empresse [5]). Montauciel brings him wine and asks him to forgive him his bad temper. As the soldiers come to take him to his execution, Louise enters breathlessly and swoons in his arms. Alexis sings goodbye to her (Adieu, chère Louise [6]) and leaves with the soldiers. Louise slowly comes to herself (Recitative: Où suis-je? O Ciel! [7]). Offstage, cries of "Long live the King" are heard. Louise realizes that Alexis is about to be executed and rushes out to deliver the letter of pardon. As she leaves, Marguerite and Jean-Louis enter to let her know that Alexis has already been pardoned. The scene changes to a public square where Alexis, surrounded by a cheering crowd, tries to break through to find Louise, whom he had left unconscious in a swoon (Finale: [8]).

Griffin practices, on track to play

WASHINGTON — Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III practiced without limitation Wednesday and, barring any setbacks, appears on track to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Still noticeably irritated about being held out of last Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns, Griffin said he doesn't know when he will receive the green light from team doctors, but expects to start the crucial division game as the Redskins continue their push toward the playoffs.
"I always expect to play," Griffin said, an edge in his voice. "They're going to keep playing it by sight, come out, watch me and then figure out what they think the best progression is from here. ... I'm ready to play whenever they want me to play. So, if it's this week, next week, couple weeks — whatever they say goes. I'll be ready."
Coach Mike Shanahan injected the only note of caution in the ongoing debate over Griffin's status, saying at his daily news briefing that Griffin has not yet been cleared to play. Shanahan said he didn't know when the decision would be made, but pointed to the condition of Griffin's knee Thursday after his first full-speed action since the injury as an important indicator.
"What doctors will do is they'll evaluate him tomorrow. Hopefully there's no setback, no swelling through the knee," Shanahan said. "He'll be evaluated through the week, and when doctors tell me the ligament is ready to go, then I'll announce he's ready to go."
• New York Jets coach Rex Ryan said he still hasn't decided whether Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow will be the backup to Greg McElroy this week and that all three quarterbacks might be active against the San Diego Chargers. Tebow said he was "a little disappointed" that he wasn't made the starter. There were multiple media reports saying the Jets plan to shop Sanchez after the season and release Tebow.
• LeSean McCoy will start at running back for Philadelphia against Washington in his first game back after missing four because of a severe concussion. Quarterback Michael Vick also will be available this week, but he'll be the No. 3 QB.
• Drew Brees said he'd be "shocked" if Sean Payton ends up coaching anywhere other than New Orleans next season. The Saints quarterback said he's "not even thought for a second" that Payton might field offers from other teams because of the NFL's rejection of language in Payton's 2011 contract extension, leaving the coach's status in doubt.
