Lightweight and Functional Technical Outerwear Performs in Chamonix, France
The last few days here in Chamonix have delivered a wild mix of clouds, sun, snow, beer and forgotten passports. Seth, Nate, JP and the Ordinary Skier crew made it out of town and the snow started to fall. It was cool to see Oakley's new line of technical outerwear constantly getting lighter and more functional.
Cedric Bernardini, Luca and I started this powder session by skiing a short, steep line in the Aiguille Rouges on a foggy day. We ended it with a fairly technical couloir on the Italian side. We learned upon coming back from Italy that the Chamonix community lost a friend in a crevasse that day.
I went back to Italy and skied a couple couloirs solo in unbelievably epic conditions, and then skied the glacier alone back to Chamonix. Days like today are sometimes necessary for me. I know they break all the rules and increase the danger, but I also know they magnify my sense of responsibility in these wild places. I've always found serenity in that strange mix of adrenaline and contemplation, and today rest in peace.

Welcome, Bienvenidos, Willkommen, Aloha mai
Ok I am not that worldly, I had to look up all of those languages on line. It does have a nice ring to it though. So, Hi! Welcome to the first post on tulapink.com. If you have made it here then you are either a friend, family or made a wrong turn somewhere. Hopefully you are here because you love my fabrics or at least want to see more of them which is what this is really all about.
Full Moon Forest, my first collection of fabrics for Moda is finally in stores, yay! I am super curious to see what people do with it. I have had my sample yardage for sometime now and couldn't bring myself to cut into it until yesterday. I spent months waiting for it to come in, thinking up elaborate projects and imagining all kinds of possibilities. At one point I contemplated covering all of the walls in my living room with paisley owls, don't fret, I reconsidered. Then it came in and I was paralyzed with fear. I kept thinking "What if someday I have children and then they have children and that aqua bunny is the perfect fabric to finish their little summer dresses and I don't have any left because I made some table cloth for a party 30 years ago that was ruined because someone spilled something on it and now i don't even know those people and my grandkids have no clothes and…
Well you see where I was going with that. So I gave myself a good mental slap in the face with a splash of cold water and forged ahead, scissors in hand. The pieces are cut and the sewing machine has been unearthed. Now all I need is a little bit of time which may not come until after the holiday rush. You win some you lose some I guess. Until next time…

"We are all here tonight to recognize that terrible day seven years ago," said businessman Jonathan Wells before mentioning what an honor it was to help build the memorial.
"I don't forget every day how lucky our freedom is," said businessman Pat Popolizio, who owns the restaurant. He said they would gather next year at the memorial to remember the day.
Firefighters, police officers and servicemen and women lined the edge of the patio, while several veterans sat in the audience as the flag flapped at half-staff.
Also in attendance at the event were Assemblymen James Tedisco, R-Schenectady, and George Amedore, R-Rotterdam, Schenectady Mayor Brain Stratton, Sen. Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna, and Republican county Legislator James Buhrmaster, who is running for Congress in the 21st Congressional District.
"We the people seven years ago stopped taking for granted the liberties we have every day," Amedore said.""

Hi ali ahmad,
Even I think that many times it happens that you are unable to reach the chat support timely when you actually need them. But still, another aspect is that you try try again by clicking on that link of chat process and you are able to get through in sometime.
I think that this happens because of the high volume of Bing adCenter customers asking lots of queries at the sametime via chat process. So obviously it becomes difficult for the chat representatives also to take up the chat timely.
As Ricky has said that he will take this up with the concerned authorities, so I guess you should wait for positive feedback :)
Best of Luck!

Single tickets for the Billings Symphony's upcoming season, which opens Sept. 19, go on sale Monday. They range in price from $10 to $45. Student discounts are available with a valid I.D. For more information or to buy tickets, call the Billings Symphony offices at 252-3610 or visit the Symphony's website at www.billingssymphony.org.
Highlights include the five-time Grammy Award winner Christopher Cross performing on New Year's Eve and cellist Alisa Weilerstein performing Bloch's "Schelomo'' on Sept. 19. Tickets for Christopher Cross and "The Nutcracker,'' which will be performed in November, can also be purchased.
The Billings Symphony's 59th season, under the baton of Anne Harrigan, opens on Sept. 19 with Weilerstein performing Bloch's hauntingly beautiful "Schelomo," known for its richness of passion and poignant spirituality.
Also performed Opening Night is Rossini's "Overture to The Thieving Magpie," heard in Stanley Kubrick's cult classic film "A Clockwork Orange." The evening ends with Rachmaninoff's colorful Symphony No. 2 that alternates between stormy conflict and serene vision and adeptly showcases the talents of the orchestra.
On Oct. 10, the BSO presents "Bright Lights & Rising Stars." The orchestra begins the evening with the Montana premiere of Joseph Schwantner's "Chasing Light…" set against a spectacular display of fractal images projected to screens on either side of the stage above the musicians. As part of the "Ford Made in America" series, the Billings Symphony Orchestra is among a group of 58 orchestras that commissioned "Chasing Light…" Also on Oct. 10, Jason Suchan, a finalist in the Montana Association of Symphony Orchestra's (MASO) Young Artists Competition in 2009 and Montana State University Billings piano student of Dorothea Cromley, will perform movements from Liszt's "Piano Concerto No. 1." BSO interns Nicole Ficek, violin, and Lewis Rawlinson, cello, pair up to honor their final season with the orchestra before they both head off to college in 2010. Mozart's Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter" will also be performed.
On Nov. 7, the BSO presents "Broadway Favorites" with Broadway star Doug LaBrecque, whose tenor voice has been enjoyed beyond Broadway by audiences across the nation. He will perform with the BSO Chorale, under the direction of Steven Hart, on tunes like "Over The Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz," Circle of Life from "The Lion King,"and "Mr. Cellophane" from "Chicago." Local vocalists Susan Sommerfeld and Amy Logan will join LaBrecque for "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera" and other Broadway hits.
On Feb. 20, 2010, the BSO performs "A Celtic Evening with Christopher Layer," which will include a traditional arrangement of "Harris Dance," featuring BSO concertmaster Randy Tracy on fiddle, then Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 "Scottish Symphony" followed by Davey's "Brendan Voyage," featuring Christopher Layer playing Irish uilleann pipes.
On March 13, the BSO presents "The Planets & The Heavens," a collaboration between the Billings Symphony Chorale and Skyview High School chorus that begins with Poulenc's "Gloria," followed by Holst's "The Planets,'' which will be performed while images from the Hubble Space Telescope are projected.
On April 17, the "Season Finale with Andrew von Oeyen" will feature Tchaikovsky's technically demanding and dramatic Piano Concerto No. 1. The finale also includes two symphonic poems, Ravel's "La Valse," an homage to the waltz thought to be a metaphor for post World War Europe, and Gershwin's "An American in Paris," which evokes the sights and energy of the City of Light in the '20s.

Marijuana: 30 percent pot tax is reasonable and voters will pass it, activist says
Earlier today, we shared the thoughts of Sensible Colorado head Brian Vicente about the federal government's continued silence on Amendment 64, the marijuana measure he co-authored.Brian Vicente.
But we also asked Vicente's views about the newly passed but not yet signed marijuana laws spurred by A64, as well as the fear among lawmakers that Colorado voters will reject taxes on pot -- so great a concern that the legislature almost approved a measure that might have repealed much of it.
Let's tackle the tax question first. As we've reported, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, shorthanded as TABOR, requires a vote to approve tax increases. Hence, House Bill 13-1318 was designed to set rates to be considered in this November's election. An excise tax of 15 percent was envisioned in A64's language, but a sales tax of up to 15 percent not sketched out in the amendment was also pushed, in part because of assorted claims that lower assessments wouldn't cover the costs of state weed regulation. If such assertions proved true, the marijuana measure would wind up costing the state money rather than triggering a substantial revenue windfall.
The prospect of running up debt in regulating pot inspired SCR13-003, a bill introduced just before the legislative session's conclusion. It read in part: "The concurrent resolution submits two questions concerning marijuana to the voters of the state at the statewide election to be held in November of 2013. If the voters approve the first question, the concurrent resolution will impose a state sales tax and a state excise tax on retail marijuana, legalized by section 16 of article XVIII of the state constitution."Lawmakers concerned about marijuana taxes came together toward the end of the legislative term.
That first question involved the excise and sales taxes, with both set at 15 percent. The summary later noted that "if the voters approve the first question, the state will be allowed to collect and spend any revenues generated by the retail marijuana excise and sales taxes as voter-approved revenue changes."
What if the voters didn't approve the first question, but blessed question number two -- the one concerning repeal? Then, the bill stated, "the concurrent resolution will suspend all provisions of section 16 of article XVIII of the state constitution relating to the regulation of marijuana until such time as voters approve the imposition of new state taxes or increases in state tax rates sufficient to fund the estimated costs of state regulation of marijuana."
SCR13-003 was backed by some heavy hitters, including Senate Majority Leader John Morse and 23 other senators. The proposal appeared on track for passage when it was stalled as a result of lobbying efforts by frustrated marijuana advocates and a filibuster threat by House opponents. In the end, the bill died, and the legislators approved language establishing a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax that can be increased to 15 percent if costs aren't being covered. But even if the sales tax stays at 10 percent, the total cost for consumers will likely be over 30 percent after the inclusion of local sales taxes.Amendment 64 proponent Betty Aldworth was among those who testified against the last-minute bill.
Is that number so high that even Coloradans who favored Amendment 64 may vote against them? Not in Vicente's view.
"I think this has been a straw-man argument from the beginning," he contends. "There is almost no voter out there who's going to vote against these marijuana taxes. We are going to win this in a landslide."
What makes him so certain?

5 Ways to Better Manage a High Deductible
So you've got a health plan with a (gulp) high deductible. That's pretty common these days, so you're not alone. In fact, a good chunk of the plans sold on the insurance exchanges are high deductible health plans (HDHPs).
High deductible plans are great because they cost less when it comes to the monthly premium. But you need to be prepared for when, or if, the bills start coming in.
Here are five things you can do now to make managing your deductible easier.
1) Save save save
One of the worst things you can do if you have a HDHP is to go without savings sufficient to cover your deductible. This is why all HDHPs come paired with a Health Savings Account option. HSAs let you save money tax-free. If you're going to save for medical expenses anyway, why not get a break on taxes too? If your health plan is through your employer, they may already be making contributions to your HSA. In addition, you might also consider putting in your own monthly contribution, as most employers only contribute enough to fund the full deductible over the course of an entire year. If you want the savings to build up faster, you'll need to kick in some funds yourself.
2) Know what's excluded
Because of the Affordable Care Act, all health plans must provide preventive care free of cost. That means these services won't count towards your deductible. It's also common for plans to exclude certain co-pays or have a separate deductible for prescription drugs or for out-of-network providers. What you don't want is to be in a situation where you thought you were fulfilling your deductible when you uhh, really weren't.
3) Understand family deductibles
Do you have your spouse or children on your health plan? Each member of the family may have a separate deductible. To make things more confusing, there are no standard rules for how plans calculate these. Each individual member may just need to meet their deductible separately. Or it may be the case that one member of the family must meet the entire family deductible for coverage for everyone to start. Check with your health plan if you're unsure.
4) Know the plan year
Most plans use the calendar year (January to January) for resetting deductibles. However some use a fiscal or academic year. Also keep in mind that the deductible year could be different from the rollover period for FSAs or HRAs for your plan.
5) Reevaluate if needed
HDHPs tend to work best for people who either don't use a lot of health care or who, if they are sick, have a lot saved up. If you anticipate a lot of expenses year after year, you may find a lower deductible plan works better. Don't be afraid to switch plans at your next opportunity if this feels like you–remember, you won't lose any money left in your HSA if you choose to do this. HSA funds belong to you once they are in your account, regardless of if you change plans or employers.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Peanut "I SMILE A LOT"!
Facts about Peanut "I SMILE A LOT"
- Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Peanut "I SMILE A LOT"'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
A sweet eight year old boy was asked to give up his loving companion dog, Peanut, due to a changing situation at home. We promised him we would find little Peanut a loving, permanent home. Can you help?
Peanut is about 5 years old, healthy and cute as can be. She weighs about 11 pounds, gets along great with other dogs and likely with kids. She is housebroken, and cuddly. Loves to play and go for walks. Her favorite thing is getting her tummy rubbed while looking up at her human with a huge smile! She is not a barker. Peanut does well with both large and small dogs.
She is spayed, current on her shots and has been well taken care of by her little boy and his family. Meet this little girl and you will fall in love. Can you provide that loving home so we can tell her little friend the good news?

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peanut "I SMILE A LOT", a Scottsdale Chihuahua/Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Dachshund for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Chihuahua/Dachshund dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Chihuahua/Dachshund breeders who help with Chihuahua/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Now they just need to avoid having to squeak into the playoffs, and generally stop being known more for winning free agency battles off the ice than winning anything of consequence on the ice. No big deal.
After avoiding arbitration with Brandon Dubinsky and Brian Boyle, Glen Sather found his money bag just before another arbitration hearing. The clock was ticking down to Ryan Callahan's appointment with an arbitrator tomorrow, but New York secured the RFA just as his agent was getting ready to board a plane to Toronto.
Callahan will remain a Ranger for the next three years with a contract worth $12.825 million, and an annual cap hit of $4.275 million.
As we noted in this morning's Dump and Chase, Callahan's agent Steve Bartlett spoke to the Bergen Record yesterday. He sounded like a man who was trying to use the media to put pressure on the Rangers, and make them look like the bad guy if Callahan did indeed wind up at that arbitration date.
If Jerry McGuire taught us anything, it's that agents always have us at hello know how to show their clients the money. Callahan would have been on track to become an unrestricted free agent if he went to arbitration. Knowing that the Rangers were unlikely to let that happen and allow a player who just set career-highs in goals (23), assists (25), and points (48) flirt with the open market, Bartlett set about the business of shrewd negotiating.
Since Dubinsky and Callahan are nearly the same age (Dubinsky is 25, and Callahan is 26), and their offensive numbers were similar this past season despite Callahan only appearing in 60 games, it was expected that Callahan's deal would be close to the one Dubinsky received last week (four years, $16.8 million). And it is, at least in terms of the cap value, with Callahan taking up slightly more cap real estate than Dubinsky over the next three years.
But the overall contract value for Callahan is $4 million lower, which is a product of the term being shorter. That could be a reflection of the Rangers being cautious after the Rochester, New York native suffered a broken hand and a broken leg last season, both on unlucky plays while he was trying to block a shot. Bartlett told ESPN New York that Callahan would have preferred a longer term, and the two sides reached a compromise.
While a fear of frailness could have been a factor, Blueshirt Banter has another explanation:
Currently, Callahan's three-year deal covers one restricted free agency season, and two unrestricted free agency seasons. We discussed earlier how the open market would significantly inflate Callahan's worth, thus increasing the amount of a new contract. Callahan and his agent know this.
So while a $4.26 million deal is reasonable for two unrestricted free agency seasons, that number would have to be much higher if the Rangers wanted to buy out a third or fourth UFA year. Especially since in four years Callahan will be 30-years-old, something which could potentially decrease offers.
With only $702,166 now remaining in cap space for this season, Sather needed to be careful with the cost of Callahan, and the cost of that fourth or fifth season. That played a major role in the three-year compromise by the two camps.
The rangers now have their four core forwards–Callahan, Dubinsky, Brad Richards, and Marian Gaborik–locked up for the next three years.

Sting By Jeff Tamarkin Published April 24, 2007 Songs From the LabyrinthDeutsche Grammophon
Songs From The Labyrinth takes ye olde pompous and pretentious one to new levels of pomposity and pretension. Accompanied by lutenist—that's someone who plays a lute—Edin Karamazov, the S-man brings the music of John Dowland (1563-1626), who some say was the first English songwriter, into the modern world. Well, not really— Songs From The Labyrinth falls into the early music category, probably sounding much like it did 400-plus years ago; or anyway, how it might've if Dowland employed an affected, self-reverent vocal style. The lute itself is quite pretty, and Sting (who punctuates the songs with readings from a 1595 letter Dowland wrote attempting to get a gig with the first Queen Elizabeth), does deserve some props for going out on such a long limb. But Songs From The Labyrinth will go over big with those who attend Renaissance Faires for the music, and leave everyone else cold.

* * *
When legendary media critic A.J. Liebling issued that warning some
decades ago about the corrosive effect of media monopolies on the First
Amendment, media ownership was a great deal more varied than it is today.
Even then, it was far more concentrated in a few hands than when the
Bill of Rights was written, when "the press" was a low-capital venture,
and newspapers were easily launched by those who had something to say.
The founding fathers hardly anticipated today's media market, in which
journalism is a vehicle for mega-corporate profits, and the diversity of
opinion implied in the First Amendment is threatened less by a king or the
state and far more by the motives of media barons.
Nowadays, media mega-mergers are the rage, and the Bush Administration
is determined to remove legal barriers to media conglomeration that long
have prevented a few giant corporations from controlling all of print and
broadcast journalism. But can we count on the very news organizations
whose owners are zealously pursuing profit from those mergers to also
objectively cover the implications of media concentration for a free
The initial signs aren't promising. When America Online purchased Time
Warner in the biggest media merger in US history, there was
considerable analysis of the deal's business aspects but meager attention
to implications for a representative democracy of having a significant
portion of its media controlled by one corporation.
Previously, one could assume that Time magazine, AOL and CNN, as well
as other parts of the new conglomerate, at least reflected the voices of
different owners, but that's no longer the case. Also, with that merger,
AOL went from being an outsider company demanding open access to cable to
being the second-largest cable operator. Suddenly it muted its open
access demand, leaving the perception that the news outlets now assembled
under the AOL banner might also have had a change of heart as to what's
important in the cable controversy.
Most recently, the new Bush FCC appointees relaxed a long-standing
"dual network rule" barring one television network from buying another.
The result is that Viacom, which owns CBS, will have a large stake in the
UPN network. Will other broadcasters anticipating similar deals permit
their news organizations to voice dissenting opinions, or launch
investigations of the FCC's abandonment of its consumer watchdog role?
Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch has made clear his intention to purchase
DirecTV from General Motors. If he succeeds, he'll combine the largest
US satellite broadcaster with his existing satellite network, which is
pervasive in much of the rest of the world. Will journalists laboring in
his vast empire dare raise troubling questions about the danger of one
man holding such overwhelming power in the world communications market?
Further, Bush's new FCC chairman, Michael Powell, promises to
eliminate the 1975 prohibition against cross-ownership--a company owning
a TV station and newspaper in the same market. That might prove immensely
profitable to the Tribune Co., which, in purchasing the Times Mirror Co.
last year, acquired newspapers in three markets where Tribune already
owned television stations. But is cross-ownership healthy for independent
journalism in those markets, which include New York and Los Angeles? Will
the news outlets that are subsidiaries in the deal fully examine the
journalistic implications of media concentration? Or will they only
report on the wonders of what the owners celebrate as "convergence" or
The answer suggested by the last election is that media have
difficulty covering themselves fully when the owners' financial interests
are seriously in play. How else can one explain the scant attention paid
to the difference between Al Gore--who opposed cross-ownership--and
George W. Bush on this issue?
Also ignored in the coverage was the stake that media moguls had in
the Democrats not gaining control of Congress. Had that happened, John
Dingell (D-Mich.) would be chairing the House Commerce Committee, which
oversees the work of the FCC. Dingell was on record as opposing the
Tribune purchase of Times Mirror because such mergers lead to a "huge
concentration of power in a small group of hands."
That's why Dingell and others believe that government regulation to
preserve a diverse media market is essential. The rules concerning media
ownership were not carelessly drawn up over the preceding decades to
inconvenience the media industry. Rather, they were designed to save the
media business from its worst instincts.
Regulation is a reminder that there is a public interest in the news
media as in no other industry because corporate concentration threatens
the competition vital to an unfettered press. The free press belongs to
us all and not just to the few who own one.

When you live on a ranch there is certainly ample opportunity to observe animals and birds in their natural habitat!! I was thinking that only today while watching my collection of birds competing for the daily ration of bird seed outside my window. Some time back it had occurred to me that my living room window was an ideal place for several bird feeders, and so, in quick succession, a biggish, mixed-grain-holding feeder was hung for the bigger variety of birds, while next to it I installed a slender, long tube holding thistle seed for the finches. (And so have you bought finch thistle seed lately? Apparently it's the filet mignon of bird seed, as a smallish bag costs around $18 – and this bag my finches can demolish handily within a week.) And next to those hangs a hummingbird feeder.
Beneath we installed a derelict pedestal fountain which no longer wants to hold water, but which makes a dandy two storey feeder for the bigger birds. A regular visitor to this bird cafe is my resident cardinal, with his flashy red plumage and bossy ways – and the other day I was rewarded by several visits from his lady love, Mrs. Cardinal. Mrs. Cardinal is a different kettle of fish, if you will forgive the mixed metaphor, to her lord – she is not a nice bright red, but rather a mottled sort of reddish-brown, somewhat plump, and on her head, instead of his flaming red crown, she has an arrangement which can only be described as a bird version of a bad hair day – a sort of angry tuft of brownish feathers arranged in a defiant pompadour.Still on the bird front, I remember one day, while driving to Tucson early in the morning, encountering some object that hit my car door. Glancing back, I saw a bird flopping around on the road. I stopped the car and went back to see. It was a little owl, apparently only stunned. Not wanting to leave it on the road to get run over, I bent down to pick it up – unfortunately with both hands. Wow! I had no idea that a little bird could be so ferocious! It grabbed both my hands with its claws like bands of steel almost crushing my bones, and effectively imprisoned me with both hands tied. With an effort I managed to free one, and then pried those little relentless claws off the other hand, one by one, till I was free. It took quite a while. I carried the little blighter off the road and plunked it down in some grass. There, I said to it, you sit there, you little stinker! It glared at me balefully, and I could see it wasn't hurt, and would probably happily fly off – unlike my poor hands, bruised and crushed and throbbing. It gave me a new respect for birds of prey – I had a feeling that, given a bit of encouragement, that bird would have made a breakfast of me! It's no wonder that the Apaches have a healthy respect for them – apparently a visit from an owl is a harbinger of death. You may well say that – it sure is, for some poor little mouse!
Years ago we had an Apache by the name of Fred working here as a wrangler. Fred was Apache in every sense of the word – he dressed the part, and he apparently had the same superstitions – I remember one day when one of our office gals found a bird feather and, thinking to please him, tried to make him a gift of it. Fred recoiled in horror. "No, no", he said, "you don't know anything about Apaches!! That's an owl feather! That's very bad luck, I can't even touch it! It's a sign of impending death!" Apparently owls don't affect non Apache people the same way, as my owl incident happened a few years ago, and here I am, still hale and hearty, though with much the same respect for this bird as Fred had.
And it's great to live in harmony with other creatures, too. Many years back I had a friend by the name of Mary. Mary and her husband had built a house which they had themselves designed, and this house had a feature which I have hankered after ever since, and sadly, so far have not been able to arrange in my own house. This was what they called an Earth Room. The Earth Room was in fact a large front entrance to the house, and it consisted of walls built of cement with no windows and no floor, this being the original earth on which the house was built. The ceiling had set in it a double wide sliding glass door, which could be opened in good weather – almost always available here in southern Arizona – and the earthen floor had planted in it many varieties of exotic trees and bushes which otherwise would not survive the dry heat of the Arizona high desert. In the middle of the floor, beneath the trees, was another fabulous feature – a small pond, with a bubbling fountain. I admired this Earth Room volubly and with not a little envy, and then Mary and I sat on the sofa in the living room, which opened off the Earth Room. We began exchanging news and gossip. Suddenly she said, "Excuse me" and went to the sliding glass door which lead to the outside, and opened it. To my amazement, what came through the door was a huge big toad. It hopped into the room, and proceeded past Mary and me to the Earth Room, where it plopped itself into the pond. Mary sat down and went on talking. "Mary, Mary" I said urgently, "wait a minute, back up, what was that?" "Oh" she said, "that was Horace (I may have the name wrong here, this was some years ago) …."and he lives here". It turned out that Horace was of a class of toad that burrow into the ground during the cold, dry weather, and then emerge during the summer rains to live above ground, catching bugs and stoking up for the next sojourn underground. Horace had been sleeping below ground, peacefully unaware that someone was building a house over his head. When he felt the time was ripe to emerge, he was surprised to do so next to a handy pond in the middle of someone's Earth Room – so he lived with his new family, asking only to be let out now and again to catch his dinner. Hunger satisfied, he would then come to the sliding glass door, and sit there croaking until Mary opened it and let him in so he could return to his pond and to contemplating his navel, or whatever it is that bullfrogs do in their spare time. Ever since that day I wanted an Earth Room in the worst way, but so far haven't got it done. But there is yet time…..
I wrote last time about my little mare, Skoshi, and I told you how willing she was at all times to do my bidding. I remembered later another episode with her. I was returning from some ride or other, and we were on the ridge above the Cobre Loma cattle corrals. It was in the summer, and suddenly I heard the warning rattle of a rattlesnake. I could see him coiled up, not too far from me – and for some idiotic reason I wanted to get closer to take a better look. Skoshi thought it was idiotic too – every instinct told her that we shouldn't come any closer, but yet she didn't really want to disobey me. She hesitated, tried to draw back, knew she should take a step forward, knew it was stupid, and finally, in an effort to comply and yet stay safe, did something no other horse has ever done with me, before or since – she went straight up into the air, as if she were on a pogo stick, quite high, and totally stiff legged. It was the most amazing feeling, this being catapulted high up into the air and then come straight down again – by which time, of course, the snake had wisely departed. It was also a great example of a horse being obedient and yet taking care of her stupid rider – I could just imagine the conversation in the corral that night…..
Dogs, of course, provide a window of their own into the fascinating world of animal behavior. We used to have a great little Border collie named Patches. Patches was the best dog – except for one very evil habit, and that was that she loved to fetch – and fetch – and fetch – and when you were stupid enough to throw a stick for her, it was all over for you for the rest of the day – Patches would fetch it, and lay at your feet, then pant expectantly, waiting for you to throw it, again and again. This game was apt to pall on the human stick thrower far sooner than it palled on Patches – in fact, I think she never ever tired of it, and one could have spent 24 hours a day being a dog's stick pitcher. As a consequence, we had strict instructions from Gerry, whose cattle dog she was, never to throw a stick for her. Patches hated that – and resorted to every trick in the book to countermand this order. One day one of the guys was fixing a fence in front of the office. He was tall, and the fence was low, so he found that the best way was for him to kneel and work backwards, nailing the loose planks as he went. Suddenly he knelt on a piece of wood, and it hurt his knee. "Darn" he said, pitched the wood behind him, and went on working. But a few steps further on he stepped on another bit of wood. "Well, damn", he said, and pitched it behind him. However, in a few more steps, there was another bit of wood under his poor suffering knees. Eventually he looked around to see how many more bits of wood there might be – and encountered the sight of Patches, happily squatted down, with a big grin on her panting, hairy face, waiting for him to throw the stick so she could pick it up and place it carefully in his path again.
And there are other, smaller, but no less interesting inhabitants of Grapevine! Some time back, by the barn, a small animal of the gopher variety emerged out of the ground in the saddling area. He had discovered that there were lots of little gopher goodies left lying around on the ground, such as alfalfa pellets – and he snatched one up and dragged it into his hole. This went on for some time, and eventually, of course, the wranglers noticed – and began to encourage this behavior. Before long Gophie became a member of the saddling team. He would poke out his little head, and eventually became so tame that we could give him an alfalfa pellet by hand – he would stick it into his little face and, when he had a few, disappear into his hole to add them to his below ground stash. (We used to joke that there were more pellets under the barn than there were in it.) I remember one day I gave him one – and another one – and another one – and each time he would merely stuff it into his mouth and wait for the next. Finally he evidently decided that he had enough to warrant a trip downstairs to the larder. He tried to go down the hole – and couldn't – his little face was so fat, it got stuck in the hole! And did he get mad! Furiously he dug and scrabbled at the hole walls until he widened it enough so he could take his stash below ground. That was a lovely summer, our summer with Gophie! In subsequent years his son or daughter appeared – or maybe it was Himself – I don't know how long they live – until eventually one day he came no more.
And I'll finish this with a little episode that Danny told me about which happened only today. The retired population of the ranch, four horses and two donkeys, wander around freely during the day, visiting perimeters of other horse' pastures, stealing their hay, spending lots of time trying to work out how to get into my fenced off patio, and generally being happy equines. Today, Danny said, he saw the two donkeys suddenly go tearing off down the drive, tails stuck up, flailing around in the air like propellers, and Miss Katie even braying as she went. They tore down the hill, turned the corner, crossed the creek and up the hill on the other side. He was just thinking he should have closed the gate to the South Cochise Pasture so they couldn't get into it, when here they came back, again on the run, braying and bucking – then turned and went out again …. And then he saw why. Two deer had come into the barnyard, and they were chasing them! No deer allowed here ….. out! Now! But the story doesn't end here…
When I had put out all those bird feeders, I wanted to put out a quail block for the colonies of quail that live here in the barnyard. So as not to have it on the ground, Danny built a nice little wooden stand for it, and placed it outside the wall of the actual front yard, on what I fancifully like to call my front lawn. It's the front lawn simply because it's in the front and it has grass – when it rains – and it's fenced off so the wandering around equine population can't get onto it. This afternoon, looking out the window, I saw an interesting sight – the two deer were back, the donkeys now having been penned up for the night – and they were investigating the quail block. The doe was standing quite near it, looking around nervously, just in case some deer eating creature should suddenly appear, while the fawn was loitering nearby, slowly coming closer and closer. Fascinated, I stood near my window and watched them – how beautiful they are! Those large liquid eyes, huge ears swiveling around, catching every little sound, their bodies sleekly designed for speed. She came right up to the quail block and took a nibble. Nah! Not as nice as I thought, she grumbled, and slowly turned – and then she and the yearling wandered off.
What a lovely world we live in, when we can share it with other creatures!

Earlier this month, AMC Theatres introduced an alternative to the usual soda and popcorn choices at the concession counter with something approaching a more healthy choice, which they are calling "AMC Smart MovieSnacks." This package will include Chiquita Fruit Chips, a 20-oz. Dasani water, an Odwalla Bar Chocolate Chip Trail Mix and PopCorners popped corn chips.
AMC Smart MovieSnacks will cost $7 and are available at all AMC Theatres in the United States. The items are not available separately, but the Dasani water can be substituted with a 20 oz. Diet Coke or Coke Zero instead.
"At AMC, we are all about giving our guests choices – in the type and format of entertainment they watch and the food and beverages they consume," said George Patterson, senior vice president of food and beverage at AMC. "We know there are occasions – and dietary reasons – when guests want more options beyond traditional concession fare. AMC Smart MovieSnacks is an innovative way to provide guests a variety of quality branded products in a convenient bundle. We think they will love it."
According to the press release, the Chiquita Fruit Chips are 100% real fruit, the PopCorners are "chip-like corn snacks that are air-popped with real corn and all natural ingredients," and the Odwalla Bar Chocolate Chip Trail Mix consists of chocolate chips, rolled oats, peanuts, raisins, coconut, sunflower seeds and Vitamins A, C, E, plus folic acid and calcium.
The variety of items in this package, and the fact that it is packaged together nicely should make it appealing to kids as well as adults. The price is certainly attractive compared to what a small soda and popcorn is going to set you back at most movie theaters.

This is the first year I'm trying babacos. I noticed that one of mine has flowers. If they hold how long does it take for the fruit to mature? Is it similar to other papayas? I'm surprised that they are growing so well because we had an unbelievably hot spring and summer with temps averaging in the mid to upper 90's for the past month or two. Most papayas do well here (in the greenhouse during the cold months) but babacos aren't supposed to like high heat. At least that's what I've read. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have some old Babaco's that bore well..but they got overgrown after nearly 10 years by trees..so I moved them last summer. We had freakish cold two nights in December-before they were dormant and they were killed from 10' to 3'. Now, back when they were in sun and bore papaya's the problem I had was the fruit took a long time to develop,they were large fruits, and right about the time they should have been ripe by my guess-January,we are well into our cold rainy season. Every year I would lose some to rot,or a blustery storm easily snapped stems with fruit. In a very mild winter I would get fruit that were blaw in flavor-but the tree's look great! |

Andre Brut California Champagne, while not technically Champagne as far as I can tell, is the closest thing Andre has to a "flagship" sparkling wine product. You can find Andre Brut just about everywhere Andre is sold. Because of this, we surmised that it was most likely one of the better Andre offerings. After all, why would they push it to the top of the Andre heap otherwise?
Andre Brut Champagne has a combination of lemon and green apple flavors that seemed sweeter than I typically expect from a brut (though the residual sugar is only 2.3g/100ml). Unfortunately, the flavors seem to be constantly at battle with one another, leaving it off-putting and ill-aligned.
The Andre Brut California Champagne is not horrible by any means. It is definitely drinkable, and it will not kill you. However, you can do much better with your $5, even with a different Andre sparkling wine.

Research Interest
Addiction is believed to be a disease of learning and memory. Drug addiction shares the similar alterations with learning in intracellular signaling cascades, neuronal morphology and synaptic plasticity that is thought to underlie learning and memory. It is therefore attractive to hypothesize that addictive drugs induce drug-associated memories and ultimately cause drug addiction by altering long-term synaptic plasticity in the relevant reward circuit. My research interest is whether and how in vivo or in vitro cocaine exposure alters the induction of Long-term potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD), fundamental forms of synaptic plasticity, in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and other brain areas of reward circuit that are critically involved in drug addiction.

VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say they have arrested the brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed at her home in a quiet Northern California community last month.
Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz told reporters at a news conference that the arrest was made late Saturday afternoon. He says the 12-year-old boy will be charged with homicide.
The boy had told police last month that he encountered an intruder in the home on the day Leila Fowler was killed. He described the man as being tall with long gray hair.
The April 27 attack shook the tightknit Valley Springs community of about 7,400 people and set off a massive manhunt. Investigators did a door-to-door sweep of houses, storage sheds and horse stables.

I've got an old Craftsman GDO which I recently got a Liftmaster 65 wired keypad for. The GDO has four terminals: white red black and yellow. The red and white are the primary control of course. Does anyone know what the black and yellow terminals are for? I'm hoping one of them can be used to provide power for the keypad so that I don't have to install a transformer or keep replacing the batteries. Thanks in advance,
David Mitchell |

There were 4 wires with the same color code as those terminals. They went to the Craftsman keypad and wall control. I am not familiar with the Liftmaster 65 keypad but there is some chance it will work as they are both made by Chamberlain. |

Retro-cool band Sha-Na-Na was founded in 1969 by four Columbia University students, including Dennis Greene, who's profiled in the February issue of Ohio Magazine. After performing with Sha-Na-Na for 15 years, Greene obtained a master's degree from Harvard and a law degree from Yale and served as a vice president of production and features at Columbia Pictures. Today, he's a professor of law at the University of Dayton.
But back in the day, "Denny" was known for his rendition of "Tears on My Pillow," among other tunes, and for his appearance with Sha-Na-Na at Woodstock.
Catch a glimpse on YouTube of Greene and his bandmates performing on Sha-Na-Na's popular TV show and at Woodstock:

RF Surveys, Designs and Reports
SAS-Norsat Communications understands the importance of a wireless site survey when it comes to properly implementing a wireless network. To many wireless networks simply do not work as intended or under perform, so that conducting a professional survey will save your company both time and money.
We use the latest industry tools and techniques to map out the RF coverage of your intended area and provide you with detailed documentation on all aspects of the survey. It is only after a professional wireless survey will you be equipped to design a fully scalable and secure wireless network for your business.
Survey's for existing wireless networks
Is your wireless network not performing the way your business needs it to? Do you have interference, dropouts, poor throughput and connection issues? Our wireless site surveys are also an invaluable tool in diagnosing problematic wireless networks. From wireless network dropouts, discovering hidden nodes, frequency interference, rogue access points and many more hazards to wireless networks, we can ensure that your wireless network starts to perform.
Performing a wireless survey on an existing wireless network is a great way to baseline your wireless performance. As the environment in which your wireless network exists is forever changing, performing a wireless health check can highlight RF issues before they become a problem.
