Bad goat: when should the feds have shot the killer?
Long before Robert Boardman's death along a trail in the Olympic National Park, officials knew there was one bad actor. Sure, the park is a wild place, but what was gained by holding fire all those years?
Arguably, someone should have shot Klahhane Billy years ago. They shot him anyway, but it was a little late. Robert Boardman already lay dead; he had bled to death on a dusty trail along Klahhane Ridge.
"Klahhane Billy" was the 370-pound male mountain goat that gored Boardman in the thigh only a few miles from Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge visitors' center in the summer of 2009. Boardman, his wife and a friend had walked up the Switchback Trail, which meets the Hurricane Ridge road a few miles below the visitors' center and climbs to KlaHhane Ridge. When they stopped for lunch along the ridge, the mountain goat started hassling them They started back. Boardman ran interference with the goat, which followed him as he retreated down the trail.
When the goat persisted, the others went on ahead, while Boardman hung back, delaying the animal. Boardman's wife and friend heard him scream. They climbed back and found him prone on the trail with the goat standing over him. Not until an off-duty national park employee radioed for advice and scared the goat away by flapping a space blanket could they reach him, a half-hour after the fact. A Coast Guard helicopter subsequently airlifted him off the ridge. An EMT lowered from the helicopter hadn't been able to revive him, and when Boardman arrived at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles, he was pronounced dead. A couple of rangers found the goat, saw blood on its horn, and shot it.
Boardman was hardly the first hiker to have a run-in with Klahhane Billy. People had been complaining about the goat for years.
That fact lies at the heart of the damage suit that Boardman's family filed last month against the United States government in U.S. district court. The family had filed administrative claims earlier, but the United States Attorney for Western Washington turned them down.
If people walk off into the wilds — even the wilds within a few miles of a massive parking lot and busy visitors' center — does the government have a duty to protect them from wild animals? Does it have a duty to protect them from other hazards?
All else being equal, the answer is "no." Remarkably, in this litigation-haunted time, people in the national parks remain free to kill themselves in a wide variety of ways. This year, in Yosemite National Park, some 18 people did just that. Mostly, they skirted fences, ignored warning signs, then drowned in rivers or fell off cliffs. Three were swept over a waterfall. Two fell off Half Dome. Closer to home, a climbing death or two at Mount Rainier, or Mount Hood, or both has become almost routine. People debate whether or not any yoyo with an ice ax should be allowed onto the mountains, and whether or not the public should have to pay for rescues there, but no one figures the National Park Service is responsible when someone gets buried by an avalanche, disappears into a crevasse, or falls off a cliff.
But wild animals are — or may be — a little different. Nobody owns a wild animal, unless it has been captured or killed, and nobody is responsible for what it does. As courts have decided recently in the cases of people killed by bears in Utah and Montana, a wild animal is a "condition on the land," and the governmental entity that owns the land isn't liable. Courts in California and Florida have let those states off the hook for deaths caused by cougars and alligators. And yet ... that may not be the whole story here.
Two different courts in Utah have recently issued two contrasting verdicts in cases concerning the death of an 11-year-old boy who was killed by a black bear while camping with his family in American Fork Canyon on Fathers' Day of 2007. One court ruled that the state and federal governments were not liable for the boy's death. The bear was a condition on the land. No one was responsible for its actions.

Those pests should have been gotten rid of years ago. They are destroying the place. Surely the animal lovers can choose from an endless list of more deserving species for their sympathy.

Whacked? Is that the best this writer can do? Where is the ever absent editor of this publication?

Not so fast pardner. Most animals that are attracted to people or places they freqeunt have been fed by humans.
I have had many close encounters with Oreamnos americanus, all of them positive. There are some nice pics here: http://pmwm.smugmug.com/Nature/Pacific-NorthWest/2007736_jQNVZn#102019227_i5XXm
During the 1990s the NPService did not want to advertise its biggest attraction. You could not find a post card anywhere around the park with a Goat on it.
Perhaps its time they spent some time educating the public that a Fed Goat is a Dead goat.
Stay at it Dan.

Look, the park service shoots bears all the time in Yellowstone. They decide that a bear is a problem, move him and paint him. If he returns, they "whack" him.
The same rule should apply to any animal. We don't hear about defenders of the rights of mice to run rampant in the visitor's center. If they are a problem, traps are set, mice are killed.
While it's arguable that this goat hadn't reached a "threat level red", the parks dept had been warned numerous times that he was a problem. And face it, one goat more or less is not an ecological disaster.
On the otherside, it's too bad that the family has to sue to get the Parks Dept. to do their job, which is to manage the parks. Sometimes that means putting up "bear warning signs", sometimes that means closing a trail, or campground. Mostly they seem to do a good job of balancing the conflicting needs of wildlife and people. Here they appear to have fallen down on the job.
Posted Wed, Dec 7, 2:21 p.m.
This reads like a cautionary example of letting public policy be set by the plaintiff's bar. If the Park Service pays this claim then the pressure is on to eliminate an ever expanding list of "risks" on public trails. Those slippery wood bridges, sharp rocks, pests that carry unpleasant viruses, or, most egregious of all, mother bears (Park Service should quarantine mother bears, everyone knows what a threat they are). Plaintiffs are trying to apply the standard of evidence that applies to pets who, being observable, have produced a defined history of behavior.
I don't think that should be applied to wild animals.
Posted Wed, Dec 7, 7:53 p.m.
Kudos for 'whacked'. Nothing wrong with saying it like it should be.
Posted Wed, Dec 7, 10:58 p.m.
After being hassled by goats for years in the Park and Forest in the Olympics, I came up with a solution. The solution is 10 parts water to 1 part ammonia, fits in a squirt gun and is non-lethal for the most part. On dose on the nose or it's vicinity and the problem leaves hurriedly.
As for the nonsense that animals are a condition of the land, that only holds true if it extends to all animals. That would include the top predator, us.
Posted Thu, Dec 8, 11:22 a.m.
Its past time to go back to the original "plan A." Shoot all the goats on the Olympic Peninsula. They were introduced for hunting and the only people who want them there now are the Bunny Huggers and the hunters. The Bunny Huggers have an understanding of ecology at about the same level as a below average rock. The hunters can go hunt elsewhere. Get rid of the Goats, which were never native to the Olympics, and reintroduce wolves, which were.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Charm, a Island Park Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Island Park, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Island Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Island Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Island Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Island Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

St. Mary's Catholic Church in Mallow is lit up by the lights of the Christmas tree in the church grounds.
The camera club social night was in Mallow last night and after a great meal myself and Jacinta left the rest to prop up the bar! I had my camera with me and I got some good shots of the town and the church above.
It gave me the idea of writing an article about night shooting, so expect that in a day or two!

What financial assistance is available for seniors?
The federal government has various income security or financial assistance programs specifically for seniors.
Many seniors in Canada get income through federal programs. Most programs have a minimum age limit, usually between 55 - 65.
Some of the most important programs include:
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
- Old Age Security (OAS)
- Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)
- Allowance for the Survivor
You must meet specific residency or contribution requirements to be eligible for these programs. Some newcomers do not qualify for these financial assistance programs.
However, some newcomers might qualify for International Benefits. Canada has social security agreements with various countries that help senior newcomers qualify for pensions from Canada and those countries.
You might qualify for these benefits if:
- You lived and worked in a country that has an agreement with Canada; and
- You paid into the social security plan of that country.
You can contact a community agency for more information about financial assistance for seniors. To find help in your area, go to Services Near Me.

"Curiosity killed the cat" is not just an old wives' tale. Cats are notorious for getting into small places and getting stuck, or eating odd things and getting sick. Take a cat's-eye tour of your house and yard and make some changes to keep your cat safe. You may think your home is your castle, but, in reality, it's your cat's jungle. Here are some of the most common hazards for pets, and ways to avoid them.
Common Household DangersCats love to play with and may eat a ball of yarn or a dangling string. Pick up strings, dental floss, sewing and craft supplies, rubber bands, and fishing line. Place them in a drawer out of sight and out of reach. Ingesting strings and threads, especially if the needle is still attached, can result in serious complications requiring immediate veterinarian attention.
Tie up dangling drapery pulls and cords on window blinds. Besides ruining them, your cat could get tangled and be injured. Electrical cords present another irresistible danger. Hide cords from view whenever possible, or spray them with a deterrent (like Bitter Apple or Tabasco sauce).
Cats like to nap in warm, dry places. Shut all doors to washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers to avoid trapping the cat when you turn on the appliance.
Use childproof latches to keep your cat out of cupboards where you store potentially dangerous cleaning products.
A burning candle can ignite your cat's fur as it walks by. Use candles only with great caution. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Check your window screens. You may be surprised to find that some screens can pop out with almost no effort. A cat that goes out of an upstairs window could be injured in the resulting fall.
The most common household hazard is poisonous plants, such as Dieffenbachia, African violets, azalea, oleander, lilies, and many more. Provide your cat with a good supply of Pet Grass to nibble on... You can spray your houseplants with a mixture of Tabasco sauce and water, or Bitter Apple (available at PETCO) to discourage your cat, but the safest strategy is removing the poisonous houseplants altogether.
Many common household products are toxic to cats. Mothballs, fabric softener sheets, batteries, and cigarettes are all dangerous.
Some food items common in our homes can also harm cats, such as coffee grounds, onions, yeast dough, tomato leaves and stems, salt, macadamia nuts and alcoholic drinks. Keep these out of the reach of your cats at all times.
Never treat your cat with flea products or dips meant for dogs. They are too strong and couldbe fatal. Carefully follow instructions on flea control products and don't combine products without talking to a veterinarian or the manufacturer.
NEVER give any medications to your cat without consulting your veterinarian. Keep all medications out of reach, and contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center immediately if you believe that your cat has ingested a medication.
ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center
Toll Free: 888-426-4435 (fees may apply)
On the Internet: http://www.aspca.org/
Thump on your car hood before starting your car in cold weather. Many a cat has suffered fatal injuries from sleeping in a warm engine compartment Close up antifreeze and put it out of reach. The smell is very attractive to both cats and dogs, and is fatal. Check under your car to see if it leaks antifreeze. There will be a greenish puddle on the ground if it does. There are now pet-safe alternative products available.
Lawn and garden chemicals and fertilizers pose a danger too. At the very least, let the chemicals completely dry on your lawn and garden before allowing your cat outside.
If your cat gets paint or stain on its paws and then licks them, it could become seriously ill. Call your veterinarian or the National Animal Poison Control Center for instructions on safely removing these substances. Do not use paint thinner on your cat's coat.
Keep mousetraps, ant poison, and mouse poison where your cat can't reach them. Set traps and poisons carefully, or keep your cat completely out of the area. Remember where you put them, and remove them as soon as they are no longer needed. Keep the empty package so you can tell the veterinarian exactly what your pet ate if you have to call in an emergency.
A Christmas tree is covered with dangerous cat "toys." Tinsel, ribbons, ornaments, hooks, garland, and blinking lights are all big temptations. A deterrent around the base of the tree will help keep your cat away. Hang hazardous ornaments on the high branches (assuming it can't climb the tree!) Spray ornaments with repellent spray or Bitter Apple, or place tin foil on the floor around the base of the tree.
Candy, especially chocolate, is toxic to your cat. Don't leave it out to tempt either cats or dogs. Pine needles and poinsettias cause a major tummy upset when eaten. Holly and mistletoe are also poisonous.
Table scraps can cause pancreatitis in cats and dogs. Too much fat from greasy turkey or gravy is often fatal. Cooked poultry bones are brittle and can puncture the intestine if swallowed.
Black cats have bad luck on Halloween. Keep your black cat indoors to keep him safe.

This is a great color for my green eyes that sometimes look blue. This is a blue-toned gray as others have mentioned. It's a drier more firm texture than say UD 24/7 liners. I like them both for different purposes. I find that this Mary Kay liner is easier to apply tightly to my lash line and doesn't smudge once it sets. I like it for more casual days when I want a subtle pop for my eyes.
I just got this yesterday, and already I love it! When you're applying it, it feels just like a pencil eyeliner's texture, but it's a roll up tube, so you don't need to sharpen it like a pencil. There's a shaper in the lid of the pencil which is AWESOME. All you have to do is poke the tip into the shaper, and you have the perfect point for applying your liner without messy shavings like you would get with a pencil.
And the color is absolutely gorgeous! I was totally just expecting a grayish color but when you apply it it's actually grey with a hint of darker blue. It's perfect for me because black eyeliner is too intense for my fairish skin, but this steely is the perfect darker shade that is like a black eyeliner. Steely is a happy medium between subtle and dramatic, which I love.
And it lasts for so long once you apply it. I put this on at 6:30 am; it's now about 5:30 and it has barely moved at all. That's almost twelve hours!
Overall, this is a great everyday liner. I would highly recommend it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Mary Kay Signature Eye Liner in Steely is a great eye liner. It is easy to apply, and has a twist up applicator so sharpening is not necessary. The color is subtle, yet still noticeable. The thing I like most about this eyeliner is that it does not leave a crease mark on my upper eyelids after wearing for a while. Prior to using this eyeliner I had to continually check for and rub off crease marks that would appear after a few hours of wear. I have never had to do this with my Mary Kay eyeliner.
love this color. its the perfect shade of charcoal grey. actually the only mary kay product i've been happy with. and it lasts all day!
Best eyeliner ever, usurping the MAC eye kohl for me.
I got this for free from a suite mate who sells Mary Kay, and I'm going to repurchase when I run out. Steely is an amazing color and the liner itself has an excellent staying power that I've never experienced. Granted, I've not tried everything on the market because I simply can't afford to, but Steely is quickly convincing me that I don't need to!
I don't really like Mary Kay very much as a line- I think the company scheme takes advantage of its sales people, and I don't much like the image it tries to convey- but this is certainly one product I will buy again.
Also, the slightly shimmery dark grey looks awesome on green eyes. My go-to routine: MAC Naked Lunch, Steely, and a swipe of black mascara.
This is what got me hooked on Mary Kay. I could never find an eyeliner that would stay on all day and this was the first one to do it. The color is amazing as well.
This is the first MK e/l that I have ever tried..I can say that I was surprised how great this e/l is. I love the color of steely...grey/black that last FOREVER.
This is the best eyeliner color I've found so far. It goes on easily/smoothly, blends well if you want, and stays on all day. It's a cooler gray color that works well with my gray blue eyes & fair skin. I so wanted to like Merle Norman Galaxy (so pretty purplish blackish gray) but it make my eyes look red and was to harsh for my coloring. Clinique's Black Diamond was promising, but still to harsh. This works very well so far. I'll still try others, but for the price & quality, this is great. I'll buy a back up for sure.

This new way of learning truly integrates technology into the classroom, making learning more relevant, personalized, and dynamic. The model was piloted in 2010-11 at two Alliance high schools and has since expanded to five high schools and five middle schools. BLAST classrooms have two to three small group learning stations that result in a vibrant, exciting learning environment. All students rotate among the stations during a two-hour block schedule, keeping them engaged and involved in their own learning: BLAST Learning Lab With learning stations for up to 96 students, individual students can access online courses for credit recovery, electives, Advanced Placement, or Early College Courses without having to wait until there are enough students to fill a classroom. BLAST is replicable, scalable, and sustainable While an upfront investment is required, cost savings from efficiencies in human capital as well as online instructional materials allow BLAST schools to replenish and upgrade hardware and software and have a revenue surplus to reinvest in new BLAST schools. Results The early results are very promising. The BLAST pilot schools outperformed neighboring schools on the 2011 Algebra 1 California Standards Test, with 30% more students scoring 'proficient'.

click image to zoomCourtesy Wish FarmsFreezes in Argentina's Tucuman and Concordia growing regions damaged some early-season blueberries, says Teddy Koukoulis, director of blueberry operations for Wish Farms, Plant City, Fla. Early prices may be higher than usual and supplies might be tight, but conditions should improve as the season progresses.Freezes in major Argentina growing areas may lead to tight blueberry supplies and high prices early in the season, but supplies and prices should return to their usual levels as the season progresses, U.S. importers say.
In August, the Argentinean Blueberry Committee, Buenos Aires, predicted growers would export 16,000 tons of blueberries this season, up from 15,000 tons last year.
By early September, however, it revised the estimate downward to 14,900 tons.
About 63% of Argentina's blueberry exports should end up in the U.S., with roughly 30% destined for Europe and the United Kingdom, committee manager Inez Pelaez said.
Teddy Koukoulis, director of blueberry operations for Wish Farms, Plant City, Fla., was in Argentina in late August and saw a farm with no freeze protection in the Tucuman region that suffered up to 40% crop damage.
"The first pick will suffer," he said. "That's where the damage is."
The grower should be able to continue to pick through the season and salvage some of his crop, he said. But some farms with no freeze protection lost buds, flowers and berries.
"They're not going to be able to do anything," Koukoulis said.
Some areas looking good
Eduardo Campos, director of perishable logistics for Customized Brokers, a division of Miami-based Crowley Fresh, also was in Argentina's Tucuman growing region this summer.
"The fields that I saw were beautiful," he said. "The fruit looked really good and almost ready to be harvested."
Growers were excited about the weather and the plant reaction, he said.
"The weather has been great, so they are expecting a very nice season this year with very good quality," he said.
The Giumarra Cos., Los Angeles, expects its first Argentina blueberries to arrive the last week of September or the first week of October, which is the normal kickoff time, said Tom Richardson, vice president of global development.
The start date was expected to be earlier than usual until the frost hit and took out about 10% of the company's early production.
Other than the freezes, growing conditions have been good, he said.
Prices expected to be higher
Prices of Argentina blueberries will be significantly higher this fall compared with those of domestic summer berries.
"For the month of July, (prices were) significantly lower than where they had been the last couple of years, with a lot more volume," said Jim Roberts, vice president of sales for Naturipe Farms LLC, Estero, Fla.

FTTH in the Middle East and North Africa: Untapped Opportunities for Operators
Boston, Massachusetts- December 19, 2012- In the MENA region, FTTH/B subscriptions have more than doubled in the last two years, from less than 500,000 to around 1.4 million. However, there are serious discrepancies between the Big Three (UAE, Turkey and Saudi Arabia), which account for 96 percent of all subscriptions as of 2012, and the rest, according to a new report from Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com).
FTTH in the Middle East & North Africa: Untapped Opportunities for Operators sets out to understand why some markets are more conducive to FTTH than others and what lessons can be learned from successful deployments. Pyramid Research develops a list of factors that are influential during the consideration of commercial FTTH launches and analyzes the demand dynamics, namely the effects of existing fixed broadband adoption and potential gaps in the pay-TV market. Supply dynamics are considered and ROI estimations are created based on deployments in different urban densities and pricing schemes for countries that have not yet deployed FTTH. Competitive dynamics are used to assess the role of incentives driven by pressures from other operators and segments. Pyramid ends the analysis by looking more closely into how each of these dynamics impacted the fiber deployment motivations of the operators in the Big Three markets.
Download an excerpt or purchase the report here.
"Making the case for FTTH deployment requires consideration of demand, supply and competitive dynamics," says Kerem Arsal, Senior Analyst at Pyramid Research. Countries with strong FTTH uptake and potential are those where existing fixed access traditions exist and where there is active competition in infrastructure provision. These two differences clearly explain the poor status of North African countries in terms of FTTH deployments, he notes.
FTTH in the Middle East & North Africa: Untapped Opportunities for Operators is an expanded report that is part of Pyramid Research's Telecom Insider Report Series and is priced at $1195.

Okay, so I just played my very first game of Death Angel (played solo) and found it to be pretty easy (and I didn't lose a single space marine!); given all the comments that this game is tough, I'm assuming I must have messed something up.
What seemed to happen more often than not (and I assume this is normal) is that I would travel at the end of the event phase, after GS had spawned, b/c the event card caused me to spawn the GS and, thus, empty a blip pile.
So, I would travel, any support tokens on the door would kill a corresponding number of GS and I'd not be left with many.
My question is: once I travel to the new location (b/c that happens at the end of the phase that the blip pile is emptied), I don't start the phases over again, do I (meaning, I don't re-spawn GS simply because I traveled)?
I might have also gotten lucky with the teams I pulled with Grey (the attack ability of being able to keep attacking if a hit is rolled); Yellow (able to eliminate any swarm within 1 range, ignoring facing) and Red (attack up to 3 times), which really allowed me to control the GS threat pretty easily.
Either way, I assume I must have missed something -- or gotten extremely lucky!

Woody Allen has been called many things nerd, comic genius, pervert, culture hero but it's become clear that he's also the last living hippie. If he could, he'd take us all back to the garden. Early in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), comely American tourists who are spending the summer in Barcelona, are approached by Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a soft-voiced hunk of a Spanish artist who announces his desire to whisk them off for a weekend in which the three of them will eat, drink, feast on art, and make love. (Woody Allen movies are the last place in the Western world where people use the phrase make love. He should really think about retiring it.)
Vicky, the uptight one, is a budding Catalan scholar and feminista who's about to marry a dull finance guy, and she's offended by Juan Antonio's offer. Cristina, on the other hand, is a free spirit, a budding artist (she's trying her hand at photography), and she's up for adventure; before the weekend is over, she'll be firmly under Juan Antonio's sexo-Euro-art spell. (But then, so will Vicky.) Other characters appear, like Vicky's annoying ''It's all good!'' fiancé (Chris Messina) and Juan Antonio's hot-blooded suicidal egomaniac of an ex-wife (played with terrific, truth-telling verve by Penélope Cruz). As the relationships develop and mutate, the film turns into a duel between love, which Allen sees as wild and libertine and probably European (at one point, three of the characters are living in communal erotic harmony), and commitment, which is shown to be fuddy-duddy and dishonest and probably American.
But that's why Woody is such a hippie. In Vicky Cristina Barcelona, there is no vision no possibility of a relationship that is long-term and monogamous yet amorous in spirit. To Allen, commitment is a conspiracy of society. It's a drag, man! It's just so damn...bourgeois.
I hope it's not too bourgeois of me to point out that for a director who is trying to make a worldly romantic comedy, this is quite a shallow and jejune point of view. (It's why the '60s had to end.) Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a movie of distinct pleasures, a number of them of the travel-and-leisure variety (never mind all that wondrous, dripped-candle Gaudí architecture what's really fabulous is the long lunches in which people linger over wine). The writing is zippy, the story spins like a top, and Bardem turns out to be the wittiest of leading men, making Juan Antonio a seducer who is almost innocent in his games. As for Hall and Johansson, both of them have lovely presences, yet Vicky and Cristina, as characters, never quite transcend the schematic. They are mind and body, spirit and flesh, strait-laced and free. In Woody Allen's perpetual counterculture, never the twain shall meet. B-

"Motherhood isn't soft and cozy and sweet; it's selfish ferocity, red in tooth and claw."
How far would you go to protect your child? In the novel Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton, Grace Covey is put to the ultimate test. She is attending sports day at her son's school, and her seventeen year old daughter Jenny is on the top floor, working in the nurse's office. The building catches fire and Grace races headlong into the building to save her daughter. She awakens in the hospital but all is not as it seems. She can see her body, in a coma, lying in a hospital bed, and quickly realizes that her daughter Jenny is in a similar situation, severely burned but also having an "out of body" experience. Both women are able to see and hear what is happening around them, but are unable to communicate with anyone but each other.
Grace witnesses her husband's pain and his inability to connect with their younger son, Adam. Adam withdraws into himself since he has no one to comfort him. Grace's sister-in-law Sarah is a police officer and when the cause of the fire turns out to be arson, Sarah starts working on the case to discover the culprit. Grace and Jenny are looking for answers and find themselves privy to conversations with people who don't know they are there.
This is Lupton's second novel, after her hugely popular Sister, and she truly creates a unique reading experience. The novel is written from Grace's point of view, and although she is having a strange experience, the core of the novel is her fierce love for her children and her strong desire for answers. The novel works as a suspenseful mystery and at times is very dramatic and even heartbreaking. Afterwards is also an interesting character study, and Lupton really shines in her character development. You get to know the Covey family and are very curious to follow Grace to the novel's conclusion. Readers who enjoyed The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and mystery lovers are sure to enjoy this novel.
James Rollins was inspired to write Bloodline, the eighth novel in his Sigma series, after reading a Time article titled "2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal." The article intrigued Rollins and led him to research the idea and possibility of life extension through science and technology. The resulting novel weaves genetics, history, action, and technology into a pulse-pounding conspiracy story that is impossible to put down.
Amanda Gant-Bennett, the President's pregnant daughter, is kidnapped by Somali pirates, so Sigma Force, a group of elite covert operators, is called in to rescue her. The rescue team soon finds that this is no ordinary political kidnapping. Amanda is really a pawn in a much larger, more dangerous game. Their investigation leads them to a South Carolina fertility clinic where a horrific project merging technology and biology is hidden. From there, the team uncovers a powerful family's ancient secret that could lead to immortality for humans, and the Sigma team begins a race against time to uncover the mystery and save the life of a baby who may be the key to it all.
One of the most unique things about this book is the addition of Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military war dog, Kane, to the Sigma team. The partnership between dog and handler is rich and well-developed. Before his career as a writer, Rollins was a practicing veterinarian, and he writes many scenes from Kane's dog's eye view. To learn more about other remarkable canines like Kane, try Soldier Dogs: The Untold Story of America's Canine Heroes by Maria Goodavage.
Nantucket is one of the most popular summer destinations on the East Coast, and visitors in need of medical attention will be lucky to find themselves in the care of a most colorful doctor. In Island Practice, New York Times staff writer Pam Belluck shares the story of Dr. Timothy Lepore, who has dedicated the last two decades of his life to providing health care to all residents.
Something of a MacGyver, he can perform an appendectomy with a stone scalpel he carved himself. He also hunts with a pet hawk. Dr. Lepore is able to identify unusual symptoms, and diagnose rare diseases. He has identified and treated a baby with toe-tourniquet syndrome, a horse with Lyme disease, and a narcoleptic falling face-first in the street. While he has doctored Jimmy Buffett, Chris Matthews, John Kerry, and various Kennedys, the majority of his practice is made up of the natives who work low wage jobs in the tourist industry. For Dr. Lepore, payment is optional and can be bartered via such goods as oatmeal raisin cookies or an old handgun.
Dr. Lepore wears many hats, including the island's football team medic, family practitioner, only surgeon, accidental homicide detective, occasional veterinarian, and medical examiner. He can be controversial and contrarian with unusual hobbies and political views. And he says it like it is, even when it comes to his own family. Lepore would rather see his son "playing piano in a whorehouse," than his current employment with a malpractice attorney. But underneath the shenanigans and eccentricities, this is the story of a doctor devoted to serving his community and maintaining accessible health care. Lepore is a Nantucket institution; his story and the beautiful island setting combine for a winning narrative.
Unsavory behavior and social faux pas are as frequent as the rising tide in Maggie Shipstead's character-rich debut novel, Seating Arrangements, where money talks and appearances matter for the privileged few. Set on fictional sun-kissed Waskeke Island, off the New England coast, Winn and Biddy Van Meter are gathering family and friends to marry off their very pregnant daughter, Daphne. It's not long before the three-day wedding weekend uncovers fissures in relationships that neither a Windsor knot nor an Ivy League education can fix.
Shipstead expertly crafts a dialogue-rich story with a medley of spot-on characters, whose clumsy narcissism, alcoholic indulgences, and questionable choices lead to many embarrassing stumblings. Plenty of misplaced priorities are on display here, starting with the father of the bride. Dissatisfied and conflicted with much to lose, middle-aged Winn seems to worry about the wrong things, like coveting a membership in the exclusive Pequod country club as well as a romantic liaison with one of his daughter's bridesmaids. His harried but dutiful wife Biddy turns the other cheek. When the bevy of bridesmaids converges on the island house for festivities, Winn and Biddy's younger daughter, Harvard-educated Livia, creates more chaos by making her own poor choices. It is Egyptian-born bridesmaid Dominique, tall, dark and aloof, who provides with her pragmatic voice keen observations of the family that are at once amusing and sad.
Shipstead, a graduate of Harvard and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, proves at ease moving the plot along and setting the scene; readers will feel they, too, are lulling among sea breezes and fragrant bayberry bushes. Readers of Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan or That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo will find plenty of simmering family dysfunction and social satire to heat up their summer reading.
Rachel Gibson has built a reputation for writing hilarious, steamy romances. Her newest novel, Rescue Me, is no exception.
Retired Navy SEAL Vince Haven is in Lovett, Texas, visiting his Aunt Luraleen. She wants to sell him the Gas and Go, the town's convenience store/gas station, so that she can retire. Vince isn't a guy who wants to put down roots, though. Sadie Hollowell left Lovett fifteen years ago, but she is back to be a bridesmaid in her cousin's wedding. As if the Bubble Yum-pink bridesmaids dress isn't bad enough, Sadie is ten years older than the rest of the bridal party, and she doesn't have a date to the wedding. Sadie meets Vince when his truck breaks down near her father's ranch. On a whim, she asks him to be her date to the wedding. He refuses, but he later decides to go to the wedding to even the score between them.
Vince and Sadie begin what they both believe will be a temporary relationship. Sadie's elderly father is injured in an accident, and she stays in Lovett to help him get back on his feet. Vince begins work on the Gas and Go with plans to sell it, and he continues to deal with PTSD from his time in Afghanistan. As Sadie and Vince spend more time together, the boundaries of their relationship change, and they find that their temporary arrangement may not be long enough.
Gibson's writing, humor, and small-town cast of characters will remind readers of Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Rescue Me is charming and laugh-out-loud funny. It makes you want to stop in to Lovett, Texas, and have a glass of sweet tea with the locals. Bless your heart!
Within the book industry, having a review of one's work published by the New York Times is a huge benefit that likely will increase any author's sales. It certainly adds to the author's visibility. That is, if the reviewer has fully understood the book published. Take, for example, the recent fiasco that befell novelist Patrick Somerville and his new work of fiction, This Bright River. A couple years back, his debut novel, The Cradle, was plucked from near-obscurity with glowing praise by well-respected Times book reviewer Janet Maslin. Lightning struck twice for Somerville, or so it seemed, when Maslin chose to review his current follow-up. But then the problems started.
Unfortunately, Maslin misread a crucial event in the prologue of the new novel that Somerville purposely left ambiguous. Because of her error, Maslin read the novel through the wrong lens, and her generally middling review refers to the book as having a "lack of focus" and is "sometimes foggy". The author's wife read the review aloud to Somerville, who "pressed [his] head deeper into the couch, trying to get to its springs and asphyxiate". This, among much more, he describes in a Salon essay published last week titled Thank You for Killing my Novel. Within it, we learn of the process that resulted in the Times publishing a correction, including the long, amusing email back-and-forth between the author and Ed Marks of the Times' Culture Desk.
All this leaves readers with an obvious conundrum. How much can we trust reviewers? When even someone as well-regarded as Janet Maslin can botch an assignment, it can be tricky. One solution is simply to take even the most well-read reviewer's opinion as simply that. Just one person's opinion.
Where were you on September 11, 2001? Almost all Americans who were old enough to remember that fateful day will have a story. At first glance, The Woman Who Wasn't There: The True Story of an Incredible Deception by Robin Gaby Fisher and Angelo J. Guglielmo, Jr. appears to be a tale of individual courage and triumph. Tania Head had one of the most remarkable 9/11 stories of all. She was working for Merrill Lynch on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center's South Tower, and witnessed the first plane hit the North Tower. Badly burned, she barely escaped alive. She also lost her fiancé, who worked in the North Tower.
Head's story was so powerful that when she shared it on survivors' network sites, she quickly became an inspiration and a leader. She successfully lobbied to bring more recognition and funding to survivors, and led tours at Ground Zero. Shockingly, in 2007 a reporter uncovered that all of the information she provided, including details about her job and her fiancé, was false. But that was just the beginning. Why would someone go to such lengths to deceive?
Head's story is presented as fact for most of the book, with her deception revealed only towards the end. Guglielmo directed a documentary, also called The Woman Who Wasn't There, chronicling Head's status change from heroic survivor to fraudulent imposter. This is an amazing story of vast deception and extreme irony. Although Head technically did nothing illegal, her falsification of information and betrayal of trust of the survivors was egregious. Her deception in the aftermath of such a horrific tragedy left many feeling further victimized. But ironically, in spite of the lies, her story led to more recognition and services for actual 9/11 survivors.
Summer is a time for fun. So, why not a few delightfully light reads to complement?
Easily Amused by Karen McQuestion is the story of Lola, an almost 30-year-old whose great aunt has left her a sprawling house on a street full of caring neighbors. Sounds perfect? Not to Lola, who just wishes for a little more privacy and a few less invitations to neighborhood events. The real catalyst comes when Lola's frustrating younger sister, Mindy, announces her own wedding will be on Lola's 30th birthday. Lola must have a date for this occasion – not just any date, but someone to show up Mindy and someone willing to go along with a (fake) announcement of engagement. Enter Ryan, who seems to just fall from the sky and could possibly be the answer to Lola's problems. Lola is a funny, self-deprecating narrator, and McQuestion's writing is smart and fast-paced with a clever plot.
Another book for summer entertainment is Point, Click, Love by Molly Shapiro. This fun tale follows four friends, Claudia, Annie, Maxine and Katie, in Kansas City. Where each of these women are in their lives and where they want to go makes for amusing stories about love, marriage, relationships and everything in between. This is Shapiro's debut novel, and it has well-developed, likeable characters plus sophisticated writing. She also does a great job of adding context to a Midwestern city where not many stories are set. Comparisons have been made to Sex and the City – this book definitely celebrates women's independence and exploration of choices.
Enjoy taking these two books to the beach or any other place (Kansas City?) you may find yourself this summer. Both provide a fun story with no additional heavy baggage.
Romances set in small towns have been a hot trend in romance publishing over the past few years. Robyn Carr's Virgin River series has really struck a chord with readers. Her new novel, Sunrise Point, follows former Marine Tom Cavanaugh who returns to Virgin River to run his family's orchard. He meets and befriends Nora Crane, a struggling single mother who will do whatever it takes to care for her young daughters. Tom and Nora's friendship deepens and eventually develops into a sweet romance. Carr's writing makes readers want to revisit the cast of characters in Virgin River again and again. With 19 books already available in the series, they can!
Readers who enjoy the Virgin River series should also visit Emily March's close-knit community of Eternity Springs. In Angel's Rest, Nic Sullivan has built a life for herself without a man in it because she has been let down too many times in the past. Gabe Callahan retreats to an isolated home in the Colorado Rockies to grieve after a tragedy. When Gabe is at his lowest, fate intervenes, and Gabe meets a goofy brindle boxer named Clarence who quickly claims Gabe as his own. Clarence is injured, and Gabe takes him to see Nic who is the town vet. Nic begins to help Gabe move on from his loss and embrace his future.
Christie Ridgway's Three Kisses trilogy also has a great small town feel. It follows the three Baci sisters who are trying to save Tanti Baci, the family's vineyard. In Crush on You, Alessandra Baci needs TV star Penn Bennett's help to promote the vineyard as a wedding venue in hopes that the added income will save the business. Alessandra, nicknamed the Nun of Napa, hasn't dated since her own tragic failed trip to the altar. The chemistry between Penn and Alessandra heats up quickly, and they both have to come to terms with their pasts. The small town atmosphere is as much a character as any of the people in this sexy, funny romance.
Marilu Henner of Taxi fame offers a unique memory manual in Total Memory Makeover: Uncover Your Past, Take Charge of Your Future. As one of a handful of people with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), Henner discusses her strong recall ability. She shares how it has helped her, and offers advice for boosting recollection. Henner knew from an early age that her memory was different, but she did not know there were others like her until she began working with researchers at the University of California,Irvine. While the average person can recall up to 11 events from each year of their life, Henner remembers every day of her life since the age of 12 in detail.
Henner's approach to memory strengthening is not about using mnemonic devices or strategies. Combining anecdotes from her personal and professional lives with scientific data and exercises designed to spark specific types of memories, Henner gently guides readers on a tour through their past. Simple exercises have the reader revisiting personal events (21st birthday) or recalling major world events (President Reagan's assassination attempt) and remembering details from the day. Other chapters include effective journal keeping and working with children to develop a strong memory at an early age.
Henner documents methods to stop turning painful memories into emotional baggage and maintains that strong memory will create a positive blueprint for your future. Would you still eat that doughnut if you remembered the thrill of fitting into skinny jeans five years ago? Would you ask for that raise if you recalled the confidence boost when your prom date said yes? Would you get out of a new romance sooner if it brought back memories of a bad ex? Shakespeare wrote that "the past is prologue," an idea supported by the principles behind Marilu's memory makeover, where the focus is on you.

So suddenly I was a college graduate and I was about to find out that, contrary to the beliefs of my parents' generation, a humanities BA in the 1980s was worth nothing. I had decided to become a writer when I was six, so I didn't have some of the complicated career decisions most people do. I realized that I'd learned how to read, which was really important, but I hadn't learned how to write. There was some sense that the world and I weren't ready for each other yet. So I had a wonderful year off when I went to a lot of punk shows and had a pretty good time and filled out my one and only graduate school application, which was to the graduate school of journalism at U.C. Berkeley, where I was pretty sure they'd teach me to write and to do something professional for a living. Happily, creative writing programs didn't yet teach nonfiction, and I think I got a lot of practical and ethical things out of journalism I wouldn't have gotten from a creative writing program.
What did you learn from journalism school? Was there anything you had to unlearn? I could never attain that perfectly flat voice that I think is as affected a style as any but that's supposed to be the style of objectivity. But I understood what it was and when to restrain opining and expressing and florid touches and individual style. Basically I think it gave me a good sense of when that's relevant and when it gets in the way and undermines what you're trying to do. There was one news professor that I really drove nuts, because of my inability and/or refusal to write in that tone that I think is both Hemingwayesque and ultimately masculine in ways that are dubious. I did much better with professors like Ben Bagdikian, who said that there's no such thing as objectivity but there is fairness.
How did you become interested in writing about the visual arts? One of the great things about the graduate program was that I got a work-study job at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art doing serious research.
I don't know why they entrusted it to a twenty-one-year-old without an art history background and with a punk-rock haircut—because these were all nice ladies in pearls. But they did, and I had a fantastic two years researching major works of art in the collection for the fiftieth anniversary catalog, but also, with each piece, getting an education in Matisse or Duchamp or the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo. And in this wonderfully practical way that also helped me understand what the actual lives of individual works of art are as I traced their exhibition history and ownership history. I think in a lot of ways the museum was as much an influence and an education as school was.
I ended up being an art critic with a review due every other week for a local weekly newspaper. I think the sheer volume of those early years was really great. In the way that musicians have to play a lot of chords, writers have to write a lot. The short review is like a very short essay. You have to set the scene, you have to lay out the facts and somehow negotiate the relationship between them and your opinions and ideas and interpretations, and you have to come up with some kind of conclusion, and a lot of times you have to do that in eight hundred words.
The essays in the new collection frequently draw upon the work of visual artists and photographers. Writing about visual arts was very liberating in a way that trying to be a literary or even maybe a film critic wouldn't have been. Ann Hamilton, Richard Misrach, Meridel Rubenstein, and artists like that were really important early on. There was a way they would think about something and investigate something—Meridel Rubenstein, for example, picked up the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos and approached it from a number of different directions with narrative and images and symbols and analogies that also modeled things for me that I don't know that I would have gotten from writers. I didn't know a lot of writers during my formative period, which I would say comes through in Savage Dreams. And Savage Dreams was where I really figured out who I was and where I was and what I wanted to do about it in life and in prose.

She looks for wool and flax, and works with her hands in delight. Proverbs 31:13
There are some loves to which you always come back. For me, that love is crochet. There is a comfort in the rhythm of making each stitch that is unparalleled. It soothes me when I am troubled and always brings me peace and joy. Truly, my "hands work in delight."
I have been crocheting since the age of 5. In fact, I remember the day that I fell in love with the art of crochet as if it were yesterday. One afternoon, my maternal grandmother sat me down and showed me, almost like magic, how to create something with a hook and yarn. My first projects were simple doll clothes and blankets. For years, I made everything using only two stitches – the chain and the hdc. However, in college, I taught myself how to read patterns and it was if a whole new world opened up. From that moment on, I have been challenging myself to new artistic heights with my crochet – from funky fun pieces to elegant heirloom items.
Not only is crochet a form of expression for me, it serves as a conduit of love between me and my friends and family. My paternal grandmother was an extraordinary baker. She would say that her "rolls were filled with love and that's why they taste so good." Well, that is how I feel about my crochet – each article is made with love in every stitch.

This is only the second novel as part of the files and carries off where the last book left it. Would like to have seen a little more character development with Harry Dresden but then again there is alot more to come for this series.I started reading Dresden from a recomendation and enjoyed the first enough to read the second book, and this does not dissapoint at all, I for one will be reading the next book in the files and look forward to see where the author can take a truly fantastic concept.

I get you, Chris Johnson. I'm not a fan of mornings either. First of all, the waking up part is horrible, as usually in those first few minutes after the alarm rings I'd rather do anything else with my life than get out of bed. Name the cliff, I'm jumping.
But the Titans running back was especially grumpy this morning, or at least he was in a quote discussing a troubling matter that surfaced in the wee hours.
Johnson voiced his opinion on the Titans' signing of Shonn Greene during free agency, a move that fantasy footballers need to be keenly aware of throughout offseason training activities, when we may get at least a faint gauge of how much Greene will eat into Johnson's carries. I still perhaps stubbornly believe that with Johnson and his home run hitting style (not literally, because hitting home runs in football has little value), to a degree less is more. His game is finding a hole and popping one long, and although some chipping away at the defense is required to make that happen, CJ?K doesn't need to average over 25 carries a game.
He had 1,263 yards this past season despite his early struggles, and he topped 25 carries only once. Much of his yardage is gained through chunks, as he has 19 carries of 20 yards or more over the past two years, and four that have topped 40 yards. To keep that burst going, Johnson's minty freshness needs to be maintained, and his pounding should be at least limited. Say what you will about Greene and how much he sucks, but that's his purpose. He'll play Peyton Hillis to Johnson's Jamaal Charles. Ideally.
Johnson doesn't quite see it that way. Brace for a shocking quote that's not shocking:
"I have never been a big fan of the two-back system, so I don't know how we plan on using him. I'm not afraid of competition, but I was thinking we'd maybe get a draft pick for the other back. And you don't give a guy that kind of money to be just a goal-line guy and in tough-yardage situations. So we'll see what happens."
Wide receivers and running backs by nature want the ball at every possible opportunity. So while the lunatic fringe will scream something about Johnson being a selfish prick with the above comment, the reality is that there would be something wrong if he didn't think this way. The difference between Johnson and others is that he actually said it publicly. So be it.
While I'm maintaining positive vibes about Greene's presence on the Titans' roster and his ability to keep Johnson fresh, he could still limit CJ to RB2 status at best. It doesn't take much to reach that conclusion after we read these words from head coach Mike Munchak.
"We're not going to have him as a short-yardage back, a goal-line back and four-minute back and that's all he does. We feel he can play all three downs. He may get a series where he gets going and we're taking over the line of scrimmage and you want that runner in there and we leave him in there."
Generally, Johnson will still be the guy, but he may no longer be THE guy. Get it? Capitalized, a guy is the unquestioned backfield leader, and he's on the sideline only when he needs a few deep breaths of good, clean oxygen. Without the capitalization, a guy still sits atop his team's running back depth chart, but if the other guy behind him begins to feel a warming sensation in his hands, he may watch for a while until they cool down.
You may not think that's much of a problem with Greene, since he's mostly been just the worst. But then you'll take a casual glance at his game logs for the 2012 season, and see that hidden amongst his garbage and games in which he hovered around or well below his weekly rushing average of 66.4 yards, he had outings with 94, 161, and 104 yards. He was burning like hot fire, as the kids say.

Obama says Iran must take 'concrete steps' on nuclear issues
The talks in Geneva were historic, but some experts say Iran gained prestige without having to concede much.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
The results of a full day of talks between Iran and major world powers including the United States were enough for Washington – and Tehran – to envision a second round before the end of the month. Still, the Obama administration remains cautious about the negotiations' ultimate prospects.
"This was a constructive beginning, but it must be followed by constructive action by the Iranian government," President Obama said in a brief White House statement.
Reiterating the policy of engagement with adversaries that he ushered into the White House, Mr. Obama added that "we are not interested in talking for the sake of talking," and he said "Iran must take concrete steps to show its [nuclear] program is peaceful."
Simply for Iran to accept the nuclear issue on the talks' agenda is an important victory for the US and its allies, some analysts say. But they add that other factors suggest Iran will also be pleased with the first day's results.
What did Iran get?
"These were historic negotiations. I'm happy about that," says David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) in Washington. "But in a funny way, I'd say Round 1 went more for [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad than for Obama."
Why? Iran got high-profile international talks without much mention of a suspension of its uranium-enrichment program, and the inspections Iran agreed to for a recently disclosed nuclear site won't happen right away.
"This is really just the beginning of the beginning," Mr. Albright says.

Armenia's ruling party collects passports in Charentsavan
08:20, 21.04.2012
"These days the RPA members are actively registering the serial numbers of the passports of Charentsavan city residents for 10-thousand drams [approx. US$ 26]. And the Republicans are 'confiscating' the passports of some, on the condition of paying a larger amount, [but] prior to the [upcoming parliamentary] elections, of course.
They conduct in such way with those citizens who seem suspicious. The RPA members fear that the 'opportunistic' residents will take the amount, 'trick' them on election day, and vote for whomever they wish," Yerkir writes.

I have the shears in the picture. When I got them they were hard to use. I used lithium grease and they began to open and close easily. I was happy until I noticed that they were no longer cutting. Just mangled the shrubbery. I especially want to know the purpose of the triangle piece of metal on top of the bolt. My other shears have never had that. Which side do I sharpen? I welcome all comments. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What brand and model are your shears? Please try and send a sharper Pic of both sides. I am trying to see what has been sharpened before (as outside cutting edges on top and bottom or just smooth bottom (both probably). "I especially want to know the purpose of the triangle piece of metal on top of the bolt." The bolt could be adding pressure to the two cutting edges that might give you a cleaner cut w/o sharpening. Do you have yardmen in your area caring for hedges? I'll bet a good one can answer your questions and solve your problem. |
Oops! We had the day off in North TX due to much needed rain. Plus I c/n take the heat which has put me too far behind on my PMs and projects. It's encouraging me to get rid of some experiments, home and wife of 42 years that would be hard to live w/o. LOL and I did not say this.... |

text: They had a spring in their walk and a song in their heart. Most carried a large change purse and placed the "Iceman Sign" in their windows when their icebox needed another chunk of ice. The stay-at-home WWll generation American housewife was not a seeker of pity. They did not crave creature comforts but placed a high value on their Ration Stamps. As a whole, these women were resourceful, loyal, open and honest, hospitable, resilient and frugal. The majority of the housewives handled the discipline problems with their children while the father worked long hours in the factory. A thick, red oak yardstick which could be bought at W. T. Grant's Department Store on Dwight St. in Holyoke was the choice instrument of many a housewife in the lower Pioneer Valley who skillfully used one to make instruction resonate within their children. With a sense of self-imposed duty, these women readily took to the task of wearing many hats. They scrounged to make ends meet and many organized their children to collect aluminum, paper and rags for the war effort. They always seemed to be keenly aware of their family's nutrition, priming their children with cod liver oil and Blackstrap Molasses. "Eat your greens, the kids in Europe are starving" was often used to prompt their children to eat everything on their plate. Many of these resourceful women had a corner of their dwelling reserved for their treadle-style Singer Sewing Machine on which they repaired or made their own clothing. They ran their own "in-home-clinic" of sorts. They would go to the medicine cabinet to concoct remedies for common ailments. The words "mustard plaster" and "tincture" come to mind. They put together simple, but effective remedies out of baking soda, lemons and honey. While it doesn't seem fitting that the sound of a bugle or the beat of a drum be used to call attention to these unsung heroines of WWll, there is an ancient text found in the Old Testament of the Bible in Proverbs 31 that seems most appropriate: The Wife of Noble Character: "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gates." This Memorial Day let us give praise at the city gates to those who wore bandanas on their head and Oxfords on their feet and did what they could where they were with what they had while softly singing to themselves whimsical songs that were popular during those difficult days.

Sediment particles 0.00016–0.0024 in. (0.004–0.06 mm) in diameter, regardless of mineral type. Silt is easily transported by moving currents but settles in still water. An unconsolidated aggregate of silt particles is also called silt, whereas a consolidated aggregate is called siltstone. Silt deposits formed by wind are known as loess. Sediments are seldom composed entirely of silt but rather are a mixture of clay, silt, and sand. Clay-rich silt, upon consolidation, frequently develops parting along bedding surfaces and is then called shale. If parting does not develop, the massive rock is called mudstone.

Thank you for the link; that was a nice piece. My husband and I plan to have children soon and stay in our 1400 sq. ft. house for as long as possible. I think small houses make you think more carefully about how to use the space, and once you do, you find that you don't need a separate room for each purpose. However, I would still like one more bathroom :) |

Severn Trent Plc (SVT), the second-largest publicly traded water company in the U.K., said Liv Garfield will take over as chief executive officer effective April 11 when Tony Wray retires.
The Coventry-based company, named for Britain's two biggest rivers, announced the appointment last November of the former BT Group Plc executive who headed its Openreach unit without giving an exact succession date this spring.
She will also join the water utility's board of directors next month, Severn Trent said today in a statement.
Joe Garner, formerly at HSBC Holdings Plc, replaced Garfield as Openreach CEO last month.
