We have details about two great Halloween events for families this weekend on this episode of Barnstable Today.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Professor Deniz Leuenberger's class on public finance and local government at Bridgewater State University last week. The students were eager and engaged, and responded to my somewhat pedestrian presentation on revenues, expenses, taxes and fees with some great questions and genuine interest.
School officials want feedback from parents when it comes to school start time, commercial fishermen conduct training exercises in Hyannis Harbor today, and we have details about the Barnstable High School drama club's annual haunted house.
This past week was a wonderful week, on Tuesday after receiving the email we were privileged again to go and help with the Chardonnay harvest at Truro Winery. This year we seemed to have a larger group than last year and although the morning started out with a few clouds that was perfect not to get the day over heated, while clearing out to clear blue skies by the time we were wrapping up around noon.
Non-resident Sandy Neck stickers will cost more next summer, the School Committee is discussing a project that would upgrade the athletic fields at Barnstable High School, and the Barnstable Senior Center is getting help from two grants.
Many years ago, when people still used paper maps, I recall my excitement at the debut of the new edition of Butterworth Cape Cod Atlas & Guidebook. I was about 20 and this was a big deal, mostly because I am a map geek, and the release of a new map was akin to a blockbuster movie release. Also, this was not some far away land that was featured – it was of the Cape – and I am, for better or worse, a yokel.
Barnstable police nab a bank robber, Sandy Neck fees on the rise, and a water works project to begin this week on Yarmouth Road. These stories and more on our October 21, 2014 edition of Barnstable Today.
How Town Officials are making sure they have a protocol in place to deal with Ebola, a project to replace aging Barnstable Public School trailers could cost more than projected, and a new program will help nurses get their Bachelor's degree right here on Cape Cod.
Town Council again postpones a vote related to the West Barnstable Shooting Range, Town Council approves a request for funds to make repairs to Barnstable High School, and rabies bating is set to begin next week in Barnstable.
I had breakfast with former town engineer Gaetano (George) Calise this week. We decided to meet at the IHOP at the Bourne Rotary, as this local landmark is about to close, and it has been a favorite and convenient meeting spot over the last few years; George lives in Cotuit and I work off-Cape, so we have been able to schedule many an early morning catch-up on the issues of the day related to our beloved Falmouth. I'll miss their shredded hash browns, a not-so-healthy but oh-so-delicious treat of grilled and shredded potatoes. I could (and did) eat them over and over.

When I first started to access newsgroups on my Mac, I found that sometimes, after a binary download was complete, I'd be left with various .RAR files and at least a couple of .PAR or .PAR2 files too. A quick Google search for how to work with PAR files led me to the excellent MacPAR deLuxe, a free, simple and easy-to-use utility for Macs and PAR/PAR2 files.
MacPAR deLuxe works extremely well in its main function: analyzing and joining large archive files that have been downloaded from Internet newsgroups. Simply right-click a PAR file in Finder and open it with MacPAR deLuxe. The program will immediately start analyzing the PAR file and checking that you have all the necessary constituent parts to rebuild the original file, generally a RAR compressed archive.
After checking that you have all the correct files, MacPAR Deluxe starts the process of joining them together. This doesn't take much time at all (in fact, the process has become even quicker recently on Intel based Macs). As soon as the joining process is done, the program starts extracting the contents of the compressed file. What's more, MacPAR Deluxe can even repair and recover some problematic archive files.
Another feature of MacPAR deLuxe is is PAR creation. Simply select (or drag and drop) the files you're planning to upload to your favorite newsgroup and MacPAR deLuxe produces the PAR file for you.
If you're working with newsgroup binaries on a Mac, MacPAR deLuxe is a truly essential piece of software. It's simple, uncluttered, clear but most importantly: it works!

Report Finds Doctors Still Using Power Morcellator Despite the RisksSep 22nd, 2014 | By Jane Akre
Months after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned a medical device could spread deadly uterine cancer, many doctors and hospitals are still using it. The power morcellator made by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) was removed from the market after the FDA warned it could spread undetected uterine cancers. A report in the Wall

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The 30-stock Micex Index slid 0.6 percent to 1,343.12 by 12:36 p.m. in Moscow, paring an earlier loss of as much as 1.1 percent. The dollar-denominated RTS Index gained 0.4 percent to 1,316.55 rubles.
The following were among the most active stocks in the Russian market today. Stock symbols are in parenthesis:
OAO KamAZ (KMAZ RX) climbed for a fourth day after the Russian truck producer, partly owned by Daimler AG, swung to profit in the first half as sales surged 39 percent. The shares jumped as much as 5 percent and last traded 2.2 percent higher at 43.32 rubles.
OAO Raspadskaya (RASP RX) rose for a third day after the coal producer said on Oct. 7 it had started work at a coal face with reserves of 1.4 million metric tons at its flagship mine. The shares added as much as 7.3 percent and last traded 1.2 percent higher at 82.98 rubles.
X5 Retail Group NV (FIVE LI) slumped the most in almost a week after the Russian retailer lowered its 2011 gross retail sales-growth forecast to about 35 percent from an initial target of 40 percent, citing a "rapidly weakening macroeconomic environment" and the rebranding of its Kopeyka stores. The London-traded shares dropped 6.6 percent to $25.17, their steepest intraday retreat since Oct. 4.

Young Civilians, in a short time span, has become the most popular and influential civil society organization cum youth movement in Turkey, distinguishing itself from other movements striving for similar causes.
Opposing to all kinds of military intervention into politics, Young Civilians aims to establish a liberal democracy in Turkey that is based on human rights, civil liberties, rule of law, tolerance and justice.
Young Civilians is a diverse group, both secular and religious with a variety of political affiliations (such as liberals, leftists, feminists, environmentalists, democrats), coming from different ethnic and religious backgrounds (such as Turks, Kurds, Muslims, seculars, Jews, Armenians, Alawites) who are drawn together by their passionate belief in democracy and by the liberal-democratic outlook they share.
Standing against any kind of discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or way of life, Young Civilians condemns all forms of discursive or physical violence that can arise from or be the cause of such stigmatization, exclusion or degradation of persons.
Based on this value given to human rights, Young Civilians cannot be categorized with a single identity politics or ideology. Rather than taking a stance as the norm or the ideal, Young Civilians remains flexible in taking position in the face of injustices against different groups of people, by placing its common conscience at the center of its actions. Thus, Young Civilians can not only be seen as standing by the side of women banned from entering university because of wearing the hijab, but also as supporting the rights of a transsexual woman, who is ostracized for her anti-militarist statements.
Organizing protests, marches, campaigns, local and international meetings and conferences; Young Civilians' most important "weapon" is political satire and the use of popular culture. Its language and style sets Young Civilians apart from previous and current civil movements, making it one of a kind as the most prominent youth group in Turkey.
Starting off with fifty people in 2007, Young Civilians has built a network of ten thousand followers online and two hundred active members, regularly contributing to the actions of the movement. Receiving personal donations from a variety of people, Young Civilians has been supported by more than five hundred donors up to now. The Prime Minister of Turkey acknowledged Young Civilians as one of the leading organizations contributing to the democratization of Turkey in his inauguration speech in 2010 and expressed his gratitude for the contributions of the organization in one of his press releases. Young Civilians has also featured in national and international media including The New York Times, Sky News, BBC, Guardian, Der Spiegel, Deutche Welle, Al Jazeera Englishand Voice of America.

So just a thought: Anyone who says that Less Than Jake are no longer ska or their first two cds were good but since then they've gone downhill can kiss my white ass because I still think B is for B-Sides is by far their best cd. Ironically it's better then Anthem even though it's basically the reject songs from that cd. The only bad thing I can say bad about it is it's too short.I just right now figured out what I want from Amanda for our 1 year anniversary. It'll cost her close to nothing but a bit of her amazing talent. I love her so much.I bought The Clash - London Calling at Best Buy for $10 which I consider a steal even though it was probably $5 back when it came out. I still think Joe Strummer is one of the most soft-spoken political lyricists ever. Also their music isn't in your face political like most of today's punk rock. It's easy to listen to and catchy and diverse and amazing.After I bought Evildoers Beware at the Mustard Plug show I listened to it like 5 or 6 times and it's not quite as solid as their other cds but it's catchy and I love the guitar playing.But last song on the great cd that is B for B-sides so talk to you all later.P.S. I got an interview at Mighty Taco and they're going to re-interview me after they switch over GMs before summer so hopefully I'll have two jobs.

An Egyptian court threw out a lawsuit filed by a number of citizens against Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris in relation to a cartoon he posted on Twitter.
The court refused to hear the case because the man who filed it had no standing in the matter, Judge Sherif Kamel said today in Cairo. Another court dismissed the lawsuit on Feb. 28.
The case stems from an image that Sawiris posted on his Twitter account of Mickey Mouse in a beard and Minnie Mouse in a niqab, or full veil. Some Muslims said the cartoon insulted their religion. Sawiris said he meant no disrespect and apologized for posting it.

Seattle's fantastic party roars into a new season
Seahawks fans were in full-throated form as the team Thursday began its quest to defend Seattle's only NFL Championship with a 36-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The basking is over. The battle has begun.
Seahawks fans were in full-throated form as the team Thursday began its quest to defend Seattle's only NFL Championship with a 36-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
"This is exactly the way I saw it going down," said fan Alton Jenkins of Tacoma, as the Hawks pulled away in the fourth quarter. "We've got some energy carried over from the Super Bowl season."
"I could see another Super Bowl coming," said Jenkins, who has had season tickets in his family for more than 30 years. But echoing Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Jenkins added, "They have to take it one game at a time."
The nationally televised game at CenturyLink Field capped a mammoth civic celebration that was part street fair, part pep rally and part free concert. The extravaganza taxed the ability of transit services to get people into the Pioneer Square area, and at least one parking lot near the stadium was charging upward of $100 a space.
Just before the game, a 30-yard-wide banner was unfurled at midfield, proclaiming Seattle's Super Bowl title.
Even when Green Bay led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, true blue fans didn't panic.
"It's all good. All good," said fan Floyd Lively of Seattle. "You don't want to whip on Green Bay. You want to keep it interesting and then shut them down at the end."
As if on his cue, the Hawks marched for a quick second-quarter touchdown, taking a 10-7 lead.
Fan confidence grew as the Hawks built a 17-10 lead at the half. On a halftime break, Sue Martin of Everett, said, "We're OK. We're fine. I'm not 100 percent excited yet, because there's room for improvement."
"But we know we're going to win," chimed in Martin's mother, Judy Bradley. "There's no question about that."
Martin said she's well aware of the challenge the Seahawks face in trying for a rare Super Bowl sequel. "It's like all of a sudden, everyone hates our guts."
With the Seahawks game inaugurating the 2014 season, fans showed up as long as 12 hours before kickoff to see radio and TV network live broadcasts from the Pioneer Square area.
For several blocks north of the stadium, fans could visit dozens of booths, get their photos taken with logos of their favorite teams and try tossing a pass to the image of a receiver on the screen. Younger fans could run a football-camp-style obstacle course.
The impact of Seattle's Super Bowl crown has transcended the sport, said Brenda Poskitt of Snoqualmie, a season-ticket holder since 2002. "It has brought a lot of camaraderie and joy to the whole area." Her husband puts up a "12th Man" flag at their house every day.
For some sports fans, she said, it has taken some of the sting out of losing Seattle's NBA team.
North of the stadium, Brian Hale was doing a brisk business in Seahawks gear at his Gameday Sports Shop. Favorite items included the $14 arm warmers, though they were hardly needed as the temperature rose into the 70s.
Asked to predict the outcome before Thursday's game, Hale said Seahawks, 43-8, borrowing that result from the Hawks' Super Bowl victory over Denver.
Hale knows the Seahawks are bound to lose a game sooner or later. And when that happens, "We'll bear down and I feel sorry for the next team we play."
Fan Art Graddy of Seattle, arriving in full Seahawks regalia — including two capes — predicted the Seahawks would win 35-17. But win or lose Thursday night, Graddy said the Seahawks' focus will quickly turn to their next game.
"It's the way Pete Carroll has them," he said. "They're always looking forward."

Joe Miller is the author of "Adventure Carolinas: Your Go-To Guide for Multi-Sport Outdoor Recreation," to be published in May (UNC Press; $45 hardcover, $20 paperback). We asked him to pick his favorite Piedmont destinations.
North Carolina
U.S. National Whitewater Center. "The Charlotte complex offers around 20 activities, and keeps adding more. Everything you'd like to do, you can sample here ( www.usnwc.org), from climbing to paddleboarding. This is a great place to try everything the two-state area has for outdoor adventure."
Pilot Mountain State Park. "Rock climbing is the great thing here ( http://1.usa.gov/1o6NxDL), including a lot of top-roping, which makes this sport accessible to new climbers. There's a good variety of routes, and people come here from throughout the Carolinas and from Virginia."
South Carolina
Forks Area Trail System (FATS) in Sumter National Forest. "This is probably one of the top mountain biking destinations in the Piedmont: It's in southwest South Carolina, north of North August ( http://1.usa.gov/N4w6Zd). There are 37 miles of trails for mountain biking, and there's a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced trails."

Legendary trader and explorer Marco Polo was nicknamed "Marco of the millions" because his Venetian countrymen took the grandiose stories of his travels to be exaggerated, if not outright lies. As he lay dying, his priest, family, and friends … see full wiki
The book is loaded with fascinating characters with great names (Nostril and The Fondler for example). It is told in a manner that the reader feels they are traveling with Marco on his long treks. We can actually feel the tension and despair the characters feel as Marco tries to save a woman from the tortures of Fondler. The battle scenes are so vivid it seems that Mr. Jennings has literally transported the reader to the center of the action.
Not to be missed!

Some said that Galileo Galilei was crazy when he claimed to have evidence of a heliocentric solar system.
Some even said that Robert Matthew Van Winkle had lost his marbles when he decided to try his hand at being a white rapper.
These days we of course know that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that Vanilla Ice's To the Extreme became the fastest selling hip-hop album of all time, but it still takes a brave soul to swim against the tide like some kind of beautiful maverick.

Ever been stuck behind a tractor on a narrow road on Islay? Or anywhere else for that matter? Ardbeg, it seems, have created the perfect solution...
With a little help from automobile whizz extraordinaire Paul Burnham, Ardbeg have succeeded in turning a reliable farmer's best friend (the sort of indestructible behemoth you could leave rusting in a field for a decade and it would still start up first time) into a shiny chrome-clad hot rod! In fact, as you can see in the video below, their 1950s Massey Ferguson tractor can now show Formula 1 cars from the following decade who's boss!

The Hudson Whiskey range boasts the first legally distilled and aged grain spirits produced in New York since Prohibition! Fantastic in itself, Tuthilltown Spirits' craft distillery (yep, another one – we love 'em!) charm certainly runs deeper than this single fact, with its very existence oweing much to fate and circumstance. Its success however is owed only to hard work and the high quality of what they have managed to create in the past few years.
When Ralph Erenzo bought Tuthilltown Gristmill and the 35 acres that surrounded it, distilling was far from the professional climber's thoughts. Originally, he had dreamt of creating the perfect climber's paradise: a ranch that would act as a base camp for those wishing to scale the cliffs at nearby Shawangunk Ridge.

Another week, another set of awards results announced! This time from the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC), "the premier competition of its kind in the world". (I know, I know, they can't all be the best - and they do indeed have similar sounding names – but this is another one of the really, really BIG competitions. Important stuff.)
As well as the usual Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, there are also Gold Outstanding and Silver Outstanding Medals at the IWSC, with a huge score of 90-100 out of 100 required for a Gold Medal and Gold Outstanding Medals only being awarded at the judges' discretion! Welcome to big school!

It's not often I manage to crowbar distillery visits into trips back to my hometown, near Washington, DC. Last December though, I was invited to go and check out Smooth Ambler Distillery in Maxwelton, WV, only about 4 hours' drive away.
I put the offer out to a group of friends I've known for the better part of 15+ years: Would you like to go down to one of the finest distilleries in the country and try all of their delicious whiskey and gin?

When I first heard about a distillery from San Francisco run by a man who spends his days also running a barber shop, I have to say, I was intrigued. What followed was a story you couldn't even make up.
Cutting hair and distilling are both skills that run deep in Salvatore Cimino's family; he learned to make wine and distill grappa from when he was just a young boy. As a child, he would even climb inside the stills to give them a good clean! Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, 'Sal' grew up to be a Master Barber as well as now becoming a legitimate Master Distiller!

Following a fine Friday evening at Dramboree (see Part 1 of my Executive report), an entire day of whisky fun still lay ahead! I give you... Part Deux.
After a hearty breakfast we set off for Aberfeldy distillery, our first port of call with tastings from Springbank's Melanie Stranger and the guys from Whisky Lounge to look forward to later on (not to mention that Whisky Table!) all organised by our fantastic hosts Jonny McMillan and Jason B. Standing. There would also be a barbecue courtesy of Master of Malt (that's us!).
Plenty to look forward to then as we set off on a short stroll down to the home of Dewar's blend and Aberfeldy single malt Scotch whisky.

Bankrate: Mortgage Rates Climb For Second Straight Week
NEW YORK, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mortgage rates moved higher for a second consecutive week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbing to 3.71 percent, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The average 30-year fixed mortgage has an average of 0.34 discount and origination points.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040122/FLTHLOGO)
To see mortgage rates in your area, go to http://www.bankrate.com/funnel/mortgages/.
The average 15-year fixed mortgage increased to 2.92 percent, while the larger jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage rate inched lower to 3.99 percent. Adjustable rate mortgages were also higher, with the popular 5-year ARM rising to 2.68 percent and the 10-year adjustable now at 3.22 percent.The suddenly glass-half-full economic sentiment continues to push bond yields and mortgage rates higher. Mortgage rates are closely related to yields on long-term government bonds. The benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate is now the highest since early April. Despite the increase, however, mortgage rates have been in a narrow one-third of a percentage point range since December. That is in tune with the not-too-hot, not-too-cold economic performance. The last time mortgage rates were above 5 percent was Apr. 2011. At the time, the average 30-year fixed rate was 5.07 percent, meaning a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $1,082.22. With the average rate currently at 3.71 percent, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $921.70, a difference of $160 per month for anyone refinancing now. SURVEY RESULTS 30-year fixed: 3.71% -- up from 3.60% last week (avg. points: 0.34) 15-year fixed: 2.92% -- up from 2.82% last week (avg. points: 0.32) 5/1 ARM: 2.68% -- up from 2.64% last week (avg. points: 0.24)

Why We Fight MS
Having multiple sclerosis means that you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.
Why I Chose to Participate
This year I've joined forces with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - and because we want to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with MS. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring every hour in this country, it?s time to act. Diagnosis is most common between the ages of 20 and 50, and individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability. Above all else, I do this for my mom who was diagnosed with MS over 25 years ago. I know how difficult life can be for families and individuals with MS and it is my personal goal to do eveything in my power to help rid the world of this terrible disease
Why You Should Sponsor Me
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from this event to support cutting edge research projects, as well as provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we can do something about multiple sclerosis, because donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are helping to change the world right now, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."

Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.Bryant H. McGill

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.Iris Murdoch
It is peoples' fantasies of what is true that is so extraordinary. That that we were born and that we face eternal extinction after death is an extraordinary fantasy.Brian Perkins
Every person should have their escape route planned. I think everyone has an apocalypse fantasy, what would I do in the event of the end of the world, and we just basically - me and Nick - said what would we do, where would we head?Simon Pegg
Fantasy allows you bend the world and the situation to more clearly focus on the moral aspects of what's happening. In fantasy you can distill life down to the essence of your story.Terry Goodkind
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.Edward Albee
One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.Oscar Wilde
We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.Jerry Pournelle
Fantasy is, of course, booming, and I think it's beginning to stretch its range as well.Sarah Zettel
People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.Keri Russell
Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy.Giacomo Casanova
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he "lives" his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.G. I. Gurdjieff
The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue.Salvatore Quasimodo
The poet is in command of his fantasy, while it is exactly the mark of the neurotic that he is possessed by his fantasy.Lionel Trilling
There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.Elizabeth Moon
There have been a number of us working very, very hard to bring myth and fairy tales into public consciousness, through fantasy literature and other media. I hope we're succeeding in some small way.Terri Windling
There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons.Fred Saberhagen
There's a challenge to playing these fantasy figures because they are fantasy figures. You have to enter into this sort of imaginative world of the writer.Ralph Fiennes
Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise.Frank Langella
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.Carl Jung

Hello all.
I'm so stressed today. My husband donated sperm to a couple he knows without telling me. The plan was that they were going to pay him $3,000 for the donation but he told them not to go through with it until he talked to me. He never talked to me, they used the sample and of course, they are beating around the bush about the money. Her husband is acting stupid and says that he isn't even sure that his wife used my husband's sperm. Now, the baby was born last weekend. This woman, MARRIED WOMAN, gave the baby my husband's last name. WTF is going on? According to the woman's husband, the baby looks just like my husband. If the purpose of this was to create a family for THEM, why are they trying to make my husband part of their family? Is she falling for my husband? Why is her husband so weak? There was a baby shower for this woman and they had her name and my husband's name on the party favors. BUT HER HUSBAND WAS THERE!!!! I don't understand what is going on. My husband now is conflicted because of the fact that there is a child out there with his DNA that he isn't going to be there for. What did he think was going to happen if the woman was impregnanted with his sperm? I'm just so tired of impulsive, stupid decisions on his end. I feel like I'm always the one that ends up paying for his stupid moves in the end. I'm hurt and it's hard for me to even look at him. I just want them to leave us alone and change the baby's name to theirs. Am I wrong? Besides praying, I don't know what else to do.

Wow, I didn't think someone would actually post an advert to a site that is the 88th most popular site on the net. I think everyone on here should have heard of it by now :D
That said, it is sometimes a good site and sometimes a bad site - full of ignorant people who think they know everything about the world.
Well I didn't know about it so thanks!
Very web 2.0. Confusing, trashy and full of mis-information.
yeah suprisingly few people know about it i thought, considering how big it apparently is.
Admittidly it isnt as good as it was a year or so ago, the ranking systems fooked. But behind the front page there is usually good stuff.
Is that a dig at web 2.0? ;)
The layout and looks pretty good i thought, using grid system and shiny icons, yeah its web 2.0.
mis-information partially granted though haha.

It might be just me but I don't really get news aggregation websites like those, they've always just seemed full of rubbish.
I much prefer going to a site I know I like, opening interesting articles in new tabs and just reading them. RSS is also just an unnecessary middle-man between headlines and the stuff I actually want to read.

The Presidents View
End of Year Message 2014
It's a pleasure to report on a very strong year for your camera club. As many are aware, the club concludes its operational year every August and during the preceding year the numerous offerings the club put together belong squarely in the "win column."
PhotoOp 14 was perhaps our biggest success with a very well-received presentation by Rick Sammon. He went beyond sharing the standard technical information to include the emotional side of photography that is many times overlooked in this digital age. He was also complimentary toward the audience telling Jeff and me that they "knew their stuff." The attendees numbered 199 at the Salt Lake Community College's Miller Auditorium and we added 72 new members who joined as part of their registration.
Close on the heels of PhotoOp 14 as a huge success was the Language of Light Exhibit that began last February. The club enlisted the help of over 37 of its photographers and posted over 185 images in six different Salt Lake City Library branches over a two month period. I believe this has to be the largest exhibit of photographs ever posted in the State's history. In addition to the enthusiastic participation from club members and the public at large, we were able to hold six receptions where we had a chance to become better acquainted and share mostly photo-related stories.
Overall the club had 38 different offerings that in addition to the above included 11 workshops, 5 field trips, 5 competitions, 2 member critiques and one reasonably nice End of Year meeting. We know of no other non-profit, photo organization that is as active as the Wasatch Camera Club.
In July the club completed its third Member Survey in which we sought your input on a broad number of club-related topics. This year 86 members responded, giving us a large enough sample size that we can use the results to reliably map the whole club's interests. I won't go into the report in any depth here, but I can say we're a group who loves to photograph landscapes. In addition, we have strong interest in workshops and want to meet other photographers. Most gratifying to me is the club's very high satisfaction with our organization. Eighty-three percent of our members would recommend our club to a friend or relative interested in learning more about photography. As the Donald would say, "This is huge." (If you'd like to read the entire survey please let me know.)
Membership continues to grow with an estimated 325 members or about a 26% increase from last year. That's positive on many fronts. First, we're attracting new faces suggesting what we're doing is meeting the needs of area photographers. Second and I know I've said this before, we are becoming well known in the Utah photographic community enabling us to secure speakers, workshop leaders, competition judges and the valuable support of local retailers. Lastly, while not everyone attends all the club's offerings, we are able to deepen areas that may have interest to you directly.
Thanks for your support of the club and if you have a suggestion for making it better please let me know.

Rituals of Transition: A Shamanic Approach to Moving Beyond Fear and Anxiety
Bo Forbes, guest blogger
According to clinical psychologist and yoga therapist Bo Forbes, the best tactic for overcoming fear and anxiety is to run toward them rather than away. What do we do once we catch up with our fears? As Bo explains in this month's feature article, the wisdom of tribal societies can offer a context and container for moving forward.
Have you ever attempted to fight off your fear but, no matter how hard you try, it still defeats you? Have you tried to outrun your fear and thought you'd left it in the dust, only to have it overtake you just as you're starting a new creative project? Or have you felt so paralyzed by fear that you can't make the smallest move forward, even toward self-care? If so, you're not alone.
Fear is a universal human experience. Everyone has it, from the guy next door to your yoga teacher to the Dalai Lama, who wrestled with a fear of flying. We can't expect to get rid of it; nor would we want to, because fear houses the seeds of our potential. Yet fear causes us great physical, emotional, and spiritual distress. So what's the alternative to fighting it, fleeing from it, or letting it freeze us in place? How do we uncover its seeds and nourish them?

Dundee United winger Gary Mackay-Steven insists he is enjoying his football at Tannadice and is not looking to leave the club in the summer.

Mackay-Steven has impressed during his debut season with United and was rewarded with a new three-and-a-half year contract in January.
The 21-year-old enhanced his stock further with a goal in Saturday's 2-0 win at Hibernian and has been linked with moves to bigger clubs.
However, Mackay-Steven is in no hurry to head elsewhere and is confident his career will continue to benefit from playing regularly with United.
"I see my future at Tannadice just now," said Mackay-Steven in the Daily Record. "They gave me my big chance and I'm enjoying my football here.
"We can go places with the team we've put together so my future is here. I'm playing every week and I need that.
"We believe we can do good things if we all stick together. We're a close-knit and talented bunch."

Few artists could follow Cyndi Lauper, whose hourlong set opening for Cher Monday at Time Warner Cable Arena received a standing ovation.
But Cher isn't just any artist. At 67 (she'll be 68 later this month), she's the oldest female artist currently touring a full-scale arena show. But when she wore the floor-length Native American headdress and stick-straight black hair during "Half-Breed," it was as if time had stopped in 1973.
Cher may be no longer be as limber and loose or as rail-thin as her dancers, but it seemed fitting for the larger-than-life queen to tower over her subjects as she did in the Egyptian-themed opening of her No. 1 2013 dance single "Woman's World."
So how does an AARP-card-carrying diva rule an arena for almost two hours and 17 songs? She paces herself, and takes a couple inches off her stilettos.
Lauper, 60, got things off to a strong start. From the first notes of "She Bop" to the a cappella segment of "True Colors" to leading a teasing sing-along of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" ("Let's sing with some freaking spirit, please"), she was on fire in head-to-toe leather with a bright red dreadlock wig that looked like she swiped it from Cher's closet.
Cher, meanwhile, seemed to perform nearly every song in a different costume, changing during interludes that featured dancers and aerialists; footage highlighting her years with Sonny Bono, her Oscar-winning films, her various eras and fashion statements; and her band raging through instrumentals like "Bang Bang."
With Cher, the costumes are half the fun. She went mod for her tribute to Sonny Bono, during which they sang a duet of "I Got You Babe" (with her late partner chiming in via video). She played a fortune teller for "Dark Lady" and "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" amid an elaborate vintage circus set, and soared through the crowd looking as if she'd stepped from a Raphaelite painting during the closer of "I Hope You Find It."
She donned the famous black see-through negligee-inspired one-piece from the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video. She strutted and even skipped in those thigh-climbing black boots during it and "I Found Someone." (I bet she never thought she'd still be wearing that number 25 years after she first slipped into it.)
The sexiest outfit was a skimpy dress of silver cords that barely covered her breasts, which were hidden by a film of fabric and heart-shaped pasties.
She proved as capable a singer as Lauper, and was at her best belting it out on songs like "Walking in Memphis" and "Just Like Jesse James." She didn't dance much, but by late in the set – when she emerged from a Trojan horse like a disco Helen of Troy belting "Take It Like a Man" – she seemed to revel in it all.
As much as Cher played the over-the-top Vegas diva, what fans really like about her is when she gets real. For all the plastic surgery, skin, men, and incredible acting credits, Cher came off as pretty normal.
She prefaced "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" by saying some nights it didn't go so well (it went fine) and revealed that she had second thoughts about "trotting out" Bono for "Babe," but knew he would approve. She even admitted her insecurities about touring in her late 60s.
"How do I outdo myself?" she'd asked herself before the tour. "Go out there, wear silly costumes, sing and be fabulous." And she was.
Early on, Cher winked as she promised that this was her farewell farewell tour. While most artists are ready to retire by this age, she proved what one fan described as "amazing." Let's hope we haven't actually seen the last of her.

Nasal Obstruction and the Deviated Septum
Nasal obstruction is a subjective sensation that does not always correlate with anatomic problems. In other words, some people can have a slightly deviated septum and complain profusely of their difficulty breathing, while other people are completely obstructed on one side of the nose without ever even realizing they have a problem. So if you have trouble breathing through your nose, it is important to let the nasal experts- Drs. Litner and Solieman- do a thorough evaluation.
Nasal obstruction is a complicated issue that is all too often ignored, attributed to "allergies or sinuses," or to a "deviated septum." It is true that oftentimes the nasal obstruction is due to:
- A Deviated Septum- where the midline cartilage and/or bone that separates the two sides of your nose is crooked
- Nasal Allergies- whether seasonal or year-round. If you experience nasal allergy symptoms, you should be thoroughly evaluated to see if there are any other factors that may exacerbate your breathing problems. When there are no other underlying issues, pills or nasal sprays can be used to help control the symptoms or a referral to an allergist for testing can be made when necessary.
- "Sinus Problems"- This diagnosis is unfortunately all too commonly applied to patients without proper evaluation. Drs. Solieman and Litner can check to see if your source of nasal obstruction is really due to sinus infections or polyps, or if there are other reasons for your symptoms, and they can then treat you accordingly.
Oftentimes, Drs. Litner and Solieman find that the diagnosis previously given to patients for their breathing problems does not fully account for all findings. In fact, reports suggest that 20%-30% of patients who undergo septoplasty find that their breathing symptoms are not adequately corrected. There are numerous possible explanations for this which you can discuss with Drs. Solieman and Litner. The complexity of this problem is one of the reasons that Drs. Litner and Solieman, both trained Head and Neck Surgeons, have devoted so much of their training and research to the proper diagnosis and treatment of these problems.
Evaluation of Your Nasal Breathing Problems
Drs. Solieman and Litner thoroughly examine and visually inspect all of their patients who complain of nasal airway obstruction because they realize that the preoperative evaluation is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Attention is first directed toward visual assessment of the external appearance of the nose. This exam initially focuses on the size, shape, contour, symmetry, and straightness of the nose. Observing the sidewall motion during restful breathing and during forced inspiration allows Drs. Litner and Solieman to evaluate for external valve contributions to breathing problems as well as tip ptosis related obstruction (drooping of the nasal tip).
Anterior rhinoscopy (looking inside the nose) then allows visualization of:
- the septum
- the inferior turbinates, and
- the internal nasal valve
Other maneuvers are then performed to further delineate potential sources for your breathing problems.

Clearly, this is one super little girl! ;) For more inspiration, check out our other Wonder Woman parties here and here.
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Gold glitter Wonder Woman crown, wristband & birthday outfit + capes & masks for each super hero
– 'Kryptonite' rock candy, masked super hero lollipops & super hero cupcake toppers
PARTY DETAILS as told by Erica…
This birthday party was for Alessa Lynn. She was born prematurely, but has turned into a rambunctious 2 year old. We call her our hero. So we decided to do a super hero party because she's amazing. Alessa was Wonder Woman of course and all of the kids were encouraged to come in their own favorite super hero's outfits. They were also all given super hero capes, masks and wrist guards.
The cupcakes had little super hero figurines in them and the cake pops matched the color scheme. The photo booth background was made of Styrofoam, painted black and the windows were stickers. The balloon villains had a mask added in velvet and black marker for the smirk. Each little super hero was given treat bags at the end.
