App Answers Universal Question, 'Where'd My Money Go?' January 08, 2014 Managing a household's expenses isn't the sexiest task in our lives. Nevertheless, it has to be done -- so why not add a dash of fun to it? That's what a program by Raj Kumar Shaw of iLifeTouch does for the chore. Called simply "Daily Expenses," the software -- available from the Mac App Store for $19.99 -- offers a streamlined and colorful way to keep tabs on family finances. |
Outline Sings Dandy OneNote Duet January 06, 2014 Note-taking applications are very popular with many users, and that's probably why developers have flooded Apple's Mac App Store with those kinds of programs. A notable exception, though, has been Microsoft. That's not to say it has ignored the thirst of note-takers -- it makes a robust outline-notepad hybrid called OneNote. The thing is, it doesn't make it for the Mac. |
Here's Lookin' at You, Kid: Dreaming of Privacy in 2014 January 06, 2014 Well another year has come and gone here in the Linux blogosphere, and what a different world it is as we enter 2014. Certainly most notably, our friends at the NSA have made it clear that any notions of privacy have pretty much gone out the window. Go Tor! Speaking of Windows, XP's final days are now finally being counted down. Cheers to that! |
All Things Appy: Top 5 Cloud Storage Apps for Windows 8 January 03, 2014 Cloud storage is a fast-moving arena, with advancements including the ability to store files and folders in the cloud along with metadata on your PC replicating the actual file. The file isn't there and isn't taking up space, but you can see relevant attributes. Other cloud techniques include the ability to sync files only as you need them. |
Setup's Sharp Edges Don't Mar TinCan's Network-Free Messaging Potential January 03, 2014 One lesson that's easy to learn if you've been through any natural disaster is that you shouldn't rely on classic means of communications like land lines, cellphones or Internet. Capacity gets challenged; infrastructure gets destroyed. Where I live, neighbors have developed ham radio-based communications plans geared solely towards communicating in a disaster. |
NewsBar Raises the Bar for RSS Readers December 27, 2013 "Out of sight, out of mind" is an old saw that's absolutely true about RSS readers. Relegating RSS feeds to a tab in a Web browser, website or standalone application keeps news out of sight and consequently out of mind. NewsBar addresses that problem by placing a vertical bar on a Mac's display where feed headlines can be constantly seen and read. |
All Things Appy: 5 Best Apps to Make the Most of Apple Sensors December 27, 2013 Your Apple device is full of sensors, including a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, an accelerometer, a magnetometer and a gyroscopic sensor. Also included in these devices are radios, which aren't strictly sensors but which include the GPS for location services. In this week's All Things Appy, we take a look at the five best free apps for playing with sensors and sensor-like radios. |
A World of Skins Add Beauty to the Joy of ExDialer Pro December 27, 2013 I was banging my head against the wall the other day because the dialer on my aging Motorola Photon 4G stopped working. Normally what I'd do -- and recommend doing -- is upgrade the OS to a later version while at the same time doing a hard reset on the device. However, you need an unlocked bootloader to do that, and Motorola has locked the bootloader on that model. |
Startup Manager Renews Shine on Android's Boot December 20, 2013 For some inexplicable reason, probably related to egocentric human nature, software developers can't seem to resist designing their programs as if they were default services: always on and ready. If you're familiar with maintaining a PC and like tinkering with programs, you'll know that you need to periodically disable or get rid of accumulating programs that automatically run processes. |
All Things Appy: Top 5 Android Apps for Outdoor Adventures December 20, 2013 Accelerometers, GPS receivers and other sensors in your smartphone let you track your outdoor activities in ways that go beyond just the common map. In this week's All Things Appy, we take a look at the top five free apps for exploring, including options for fine-tuning your GPS, measuring headings and bearings, logging your tracks and reckoning distance. |
Kazam Screen-Recording: Do Try This at Home December 19, 2013 Kazam is a screencasting and screenshot application that shows much potential, but it is not yet fully suitable for anything more than personal use. Screen-recording tools are a step or two beyond single-frame screen-capture applications. Kazam performs both functions and can record input from the computer's microphone as well as from the speakers. |
'Systems Performance': A Definitive Guide for the Cloud Enterprise December 17, 2013 Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud is a must-have reference guide for any IT manager or sysadmin whose job involves working with computer systems that are tethered to the cloud. Author Brendan Gregg is no newcomer to writing definitive books on computer networks and system performance, but his latest release could well be his best work so far. |
DaisyDisk Helps Keep Your Hard Drive Fresh December 17, 2013 Since the dawn of personal computing, managing storage has been a persistent challenge. Certainly the pressure has eased up on the desktop with the proliferation of 1 TB hard drives, but for laptops and lightweight notebooks, the struggle continues. One of the problems with grappling with all the data on a hard drive is transparency. Eyeballing thousands of file names in the Finder is both tiresome and inefficient. |
'Anchorman' Scotchy Toss App Might Be Better After a Shot or 2 December 16, 2013 One of the best side effects of Apple's app ecosystem is spinoffs -- in addition to great games and apps for most everything imaginable, successful franchises can create apps to keep stoking the adoration of fans. If you haven't noticed the invasion of Duck Dynasty-branded merchandise in department stores everywhere, you might have stumbled upon the surprisingly delightful Battle of the Beards app. |
All Things Appy: 5 Best Chrome Apps for Book Lovers December 13, 2013 Books in a multimedia environment bring certain advantages not available on paper alone or via classic audiobooks. Among those advantages are audio accompaniment for text and cloud syncing of notes and highlights. Add to that the lower distribution costs of multimedia over paper and the browser becomes a good tool for books. You don't need an e-reader or a tablet. |
Remote Video Security Is Mydlink+'s Weak Link December 13, 2013 As a smartphone app reviewer, I often like to include a bit of explanation for why I choose to review the apps that I do. It adds a bit of human interest, and can make for a more enjoyable read. This week, the story is especially exciting. This is a review of D-Link's Mydlink+ remote security camera Android app add-on, and I can explain the reason for the review in one word: goats. |
Turn Your World Into Vibrant Comic Life December 10, 2013 Comic Life's latest incarnation has some really useful new additions: a script editor, new filters, a background knockout feature and some new fill options. With great new features, though, come greater complexity and greater demands on screen real estate, which can make the software more difficult to use for newbies and challenging to manage on Macs with smaller screens. |
Tweetbot 3 Makes Your Twitter Timeline a Thing of Beauty December 09, 2013 Let's get this clear up front: I am not a Twitter expert. I've used multiple accounts for different purposes; I enjoy following a few personalities; I like searching through Twitter. Until now, I've rarely bothered to tweet or mess with Twitter on my iPhone or iPad, preferring to use the standard browser-based method on my Mac. I know I'm missing out, though. |
If You're Jonesing for a 2nd Screen, Air Display Is a Nifty Fix December 06, 2013 I was intrigued when I came across Air Display, an Android app that lets you use your tablet as a second screen. Second PC displays definitely boost work productivity. I've been using two displays for years, keeping my email client open all the time on the left screen -- a laptop display -- and work-work on the right screen. I'm able to monitor incoming junk mail without having to stop working. |
Mailplane Gives Gmail a Nice Lift December 03, 2013 Gmail may not be the prettiest email program in the world. Yahoo Mail is easier on the eye. Microsoft's Outlook online has a clean and modern appeal. Nevertheless, many of us use Gmail -- warts and all -- so any app that adds utility to the Google offering can be worthwhile. Mailplane has been around for six years, but its developers have given it a makeover in this latest edition. |
Zamurai Whiteboard App Makes Brainstorming a Breeze December 02, 2013 If you've spent a good portion of your life sitting around a table with colleagues who need to plan and strategize, then you've likely used old-school markers to jot notes on sheets of white paper -- or on dry-erase whiteboards. There is a better way. Enter Zamurai Mobile Whiteboard for iOS, a well-designed app that lets you drag and drop handy and commonly used icons onto your whiteboard. |
MacBooster Can Help Keep Your Mac Humming November 26, 2013 Surf over to the Mac App Store, and you'll find plenty of utilities for keeping your Apple personal computer in tip-top shape. There are tools for freeing up RAM and cleaning files from disks and thoroughly uninstalling apps. Have you ever wished, however, that you had a an app to perform all those tasks under the same hood? IObit is doing that with MacBooster. |
Clumsy Ninja May Tug Your Heartstrings November 25, 2013 NaturalMotion first wowed Apple fans at last year's September Apple event with a tantalizing demo of a new game, Clumsy Ninja, which was teased to hit iOS sometime during the 2012 holiday season. Santa came and went, and no little kids played Clumsy Ninja. And then boom, Apple reveals Clumsy Ninja as an Editor's Choice app in the iTunes App Store with, get this, a video trailer. |
All Things Appy: Top 5 Language Tools for Firefox November 22, 2013 In this week's All Things Appy, we take a look at the top five free tools for Firefox that will help you navigate the polyglot world. The PC-based browser is well-suited to languages, and in this week's piece we recommend the best pop-up dictionary along with a multilanguage search tool and highly efficient translator engines that are superior to hard-copy dictionaries. |

The biological silver nanoparticle was synthesized extracellularly by using a fungi Aspergillus foetidus. The live cell filtrate of fungi has been used as reducing agent in the process of nanoparticles synthesis. In 50 ml cell filtrate a volume of stock solution was added to make finally the concentration as 1 mM of and allowed to shake in an incubator for several hrs in dark. The changed color was considered as the primary indication of nanoparticles formation and studies of UV-VIS, DLS, FTIR, AFM, TEM, EDS, Zeta pot. and nitrate reductase assay confirmed the same. It was indicated that stable & 20-40 nm roughly spherical shaped silver nanoparticles was formed. To standardize the nanoparticles biosynthesis different physical parameters like Substrate cone. (0-8 mM), PH-(5-12), Temp.-(5-50°C), incubation time (0-120) hrs and salinity (0.1-1.0 %) were investigated and it was observed that 4 mM conc., PH-9, Temp. −30°C, incubation time 72h and 0.2 % salinity were found to be optimum for the synthesis & stability of the silver nanoparticles.

This is a book I will go back to (or "to which I will go back," for grammar snoots)...it's filled with wisdom and humanity, and leavened with humour and profanity, all of which make for an experience to be treasured.
"Wonderful book, terrible narration!"
I had read this book but wanted to listen to it as well. The writing is still wonderful, but clearly the narrator doesn't understand the material. He uses sarcasm when the author is not being sarcastic, makes huge reading mistakes (he calls Louise Erdrich "Louis," for example), and changes meanings by emphasizing parts of sentences that don't make sense.
Fortunately, the writing makes the awful reader less damaging.
"Balanced and informative"
I love the fact that I can listen to a capitalist who can distinguish between reality (humans are not necessarily rational and the market will not necessarily create the best outcomes if left alone) and fantasy (free markets are the ultimate moral force). I now have a much clearer understanding of where the economy has gone wrong, and what can be done about it. Excellent!
"So useful!"
This book is packed with useful ideas, thoughts, suggestions to take responsibility for making our homes happier and healthier. Love it! Now I intend to listen to "The Happiness Project."
This book bears repeated listening...it's wonderful to find a concise, informed, rational explanation of the stupidity of the low-fat diet and how many people are being hurt by
That is the takeaway message from this book. What we think we know might be more opinion than fact. Try to think critically about EVERYTHING. Facts change. Keep up. Open your mind.
"Makes me think and act differently at yoga..."
This book by an educated yoga practitioner helps to dispel some of the silly claims made by yoga teacher (toxins? really? what are they?) while sharing benefits and dangers so we can make informed choices.
"Funny and informative..."
This book is a million times better than "Waiter Rant." It's smart, funny, and tells me more than I want to know about the hospitality industry.
"I love Jon Ronson's work..."
This book (a series of articles, really) is a fascinating look into the world of extremists and conspiracy theorists. Ronson is funny and a little off-kilter. He makes me laugh out loud, and then makes me shake my head at some of the people in the world.
This book seems to confirm my worst suspicions about the "Three Cups of Tea" phenomenon.
"Great read, ponderous and stuffy narration"
This book inspired me to get back to the low-carb life that saved me 12 years ago.

The Chengdu 'Summer Breeze' by Matthieu Belin series is a mysteriously endearing photoshoot featuring Chinese model Liao as the protagonist of the story.
The artist wanted to create a cinematic series that would draw people in. Aside from the beautiful fashion, each shot tells a story, and the narrative is in the hands of the viewers. That is the power of art and photography: its visual elements allow people to form connections, and everyone can interpret it differently, which makes it so universal.
Belin states on his site, "Exploring consciousness through the eye of possibility, I am unendingly fascinated by the mysteries of form and the surprising secrets they can unveil." This elegant and sophisticated photoshoot is incredibly intriguing.

Shame that some of you experienced poor service. I was visiting from Australia and used the pub twice enjoying very good food and a great selection of beers.
Posted by Burger Lover on 06/02/2010
The concept of this bar/restaurant is great. Tons of different and unique beers and decent bar food, but the service is just plain nasty, and will keep me from returning. All the other posts on this board were right, the service is rude. With all the other options in the area, and certainly the city, it's surprising that the waitstaff treats customers they way that they do. It's clear that they think doing so is "cute." The bar food is decent, but not worth the hassle.
Posted by MKB on 01/05/2009
Can confidently state that Waterfront has the best bar food in the city! Incredible sandwiches and a good slate of entrees more than make up for the inflated prices. The great beer [select]ion complements the food nicely, and it will help with coping with the indifferent aloof service you'll receive. If you can, go in before 3 - their lunch special is hard to beat.
Posted by jennifer on 12/26/2008
the burgers are great the quesadillas are superior to any Mexican restaurant, but the service is abysmal,,,,maybe things will turn around...management if you're reading this, please deal with the flaky, uncaring waitstaff!
Posted by zee on 11/29/2008
the food is amazing, great bbq chicken and chili. only downfall is the soda they serve is a no-name brand, it's just cola. Not pepsi or coca-cola. So for all you soda drinkers out there, stay away from this place. But if you need a quick bite and a good beer this is the place for you. the service was not the best. Cranky waitress made the experience okay.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/26/2008
I've passed Waterfront many times and thought it might be a bad pub food experience, but after lunch today my mind is changed! If you like pulled pork smothered in delicious BBQ sauce, they have a great sandwhich and for lunch you can get that sandwhich (or others) with soup and a drink for $10.95. Not too shabby. The soup was not amazing, but really I would go back for the pulled pork in a heartbeat. It would be great if they could include fries with their pulled sandwhiches, otherwise a side order can cost you four bucks or so. All in all a great Murray Hill/Kips Bay lunch spot.
Posted by Marc on 03/31/2008
Outstanding food, low key, and phenomenal beer selection that changes weekly. Fish and chips is one of the best I've had anywhere, melts in your mouth. A bit pricey for a neighborhood bar, but I keep coming back because the food and beer are so great.

Are You Ready for Self-Syndication?© 1999 Virginia Lawrence, Ph.D.We all understand the advantages to a writer or cartoonist when he goes into syndication and his work appears in newspapers all over the U.S., but most of us have not yet been picked up by the big media syndicators. We are producing, and wed like to get our articles, art, or cartoons before the public. What to do? Lets forget about newspaper syndication for now and build a personal syndicate for the Internet. We want to self-syndicate so that we can increase distribution of our content and, ultimately, make our names better known for quality content. By setting up online syndication on the Internet, we arrange to have our content displayed on participating Web sites, with our name and a link to our own site. By self-syndicating, we use technology to get the word out and to generate traffic at our sites. Will Self-Syndication Pay? Some of us are well-known enough to charge for our syndicated work, but most self-syndicators start by offering free content to other Web sites. Cash compensation is rare, but theres more to self-syndication than immediate cash compensation. In contrast to generating immediate revenue, we offer free content to introduce people to our work and to entice our readers to visit our Web site to see more. The plan, of course, is to develop self-syndication so that it eventually produces a return on our investment of work. There are two major tasks in self-syndication:

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Analysis Type II
Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev will be traveling to Russia August
9th to meet with Russian president Dmitri Medvedev change tense - he's
already there (meeting might even be over by now). Much of the media
coverage leading up to this visit has centered on Russia's continuing
efforts to negotiate a settlement to the enduring conflict between
Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. But
in reality, this is about Russia and Azerbaijan seizing an opportunity
to leverage the complex web of geopolitical relationships in the
Caucasus to further their own larger agendas.
According to STRATFOR sources in Russia, tensions between the US and
Russia concerning several outstanding issues have flared recently and
the overall state of US-Russian relations is worsening. The Caucasus is
one area where Russia has the ability to push back against the US in
response to worsening relations. Azerbaijan has its own reasons for
wanting to apply a little pressure to the US and helping Moscow with its
Russia's motivations
Despite a few areas of limited cooperation, Russia is growing frustrated
with the US over several issues - ballistic missile defense plans, US
moves in Europe and most recently what Moscow perceives as an
anti-Russian agenda in the US Congress this past month.
July 26 - The US senate passed legislation blacklisting visas for some
60 Russian officials accused of being involved with the death of lawyer,
Sergei Magnitsky.
July 28 - The CIA delivered a report to Congress accusing Russia of
being behind of series of bombing in Georgia last year, including an
attempted bombing of the US embassy in Georgia.
July 29 - The Senate passed a resolution calling for Moscow to withdraw
its troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
While these most recent moves have been promulgated by Congress, and are
not necessarily would cut necessarily - they are not representative of
the White House or the Obama Administration's sentiments, Russia is
beginning to worry that with election season in the US around the corner
there is a very real chance that certain politicians well the
Republicans in general, no? with a much stronger anti-Russian
perspective could be gainer even more power to push their agendas.
Azerbaijan's motivations
As a whole, US-Azerbaijani relations are problematic and inconsistent
would cut the second - sounds subjective, or explain what you mean. The
US has an extremely large and influential Armenian lobby, which at times
can lead the US to support Armenian interests over Azerbaijani interests
- such as the US's continued weapons embargo against Azerbaijan.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US invested significant
amounts of money in financing and constructing Azerbaijan's energy
industry. Although distractions from the war on terrorism and the
Islamic world have meant in large part a withdrawal of the US focus from
Azerbaijan since its peak in the 1990s, the amount of investment it has
put into the region means that the US would like to have its say in the
future of Caucasus's develops. this is driven not by investment but by
US geopolitical interestest (the former being a product of the latter)
Today with Russia's resurgence in full swing, the US would like to see
Azerbaijan play a critical role in developing alternative sources of
producing and transporting oil and natural gas to European markets and,
thus, lessening Russia's political leverage over the US's European
allies. An agreement between Russia and Azerbaijan that led to
Azerbaijan to focus on developing energy projects that don't cut into
Russia's energy dominance in Europe would certainly be a blow to US
interests in the region. what agreement is this? not quite sure what
you're getting at here - is this theoreticial, and if so, why include
By underscoring its relationship with Azerbaijan, Moscow can remind the
US that it too has influence over states in the Caucasus and that any
majorly aggressive moves by the US in its relationship with Georgia will
not go unanswered by Russia.
Russia has an interest in knowing Azerbaijan's position on its upcoming
energy talks with Turkey - another major player that is key to the
future development of the region's energy sector. Russia knows that even
though it is unlikely to be able to influence Azerbaijan's future plans
for energy development with Turkey, both Moscow and Baku benefit in
their negotiations with other players in the region by suggesting that
such cooperation is possible. ok this part should go 2 graphs above
where this is mentioned vaguely
For its part, Azerbaijan, more than the other Caucasus states, pursues a
strategy of playing the interests of major outside powers against each
other in order to place itself in the most optimal position to pursue
it's own interests - a strategy that Baku is able to pursue largely
because of the development and potential of its oil and natural gas
sectors. awkward sentence - would slim down or just cut
Azerbaijan is unlikely to commit itself fully to Russia or any other one
country, as Baku does not want the future of its energy industry
beholden to one single player. However, it is precisely visits like the
one between Medvedev and Aliyev on August 9th that enable Azerbaijan to
successfully play the interests of outside powers to its own
advantage.cut this sentence, unnecessary
Conclusion Our pieces usually do not need conclusions, and we certainly
don't need to label it out - just replace the previous sentence with
these two.
Both Russia and Azerbaijan see an opportunity to send a message to the
US as a reminder that the possibility of cooperation between the two -
at the expense of US interests - always exists. Ultimately, the meeting
of Medvedev and Aliyev in South isn't about furthering any specific
political or economic deals between Russia and Azerbaijan; it is about
both countries leveraging the complex web of geopolitical relations in
the Caucasus to enhance their positions both inside and outside the

It was definitely a PDA moment for Taylor Swift and her One Direction boyfriend Harry Styles as they brought in 2013 together.
The pair were caught on camera kissing at Midnight in New York's Times Square.
Both Taylor and Harry have made headlines in the past because of previous relationships but this may just be one of the most high profile connections for both, with their teenage fans.
We can hear the faint sob of Directioners worldwide…

On A Scientific Dissent on Darwinism we find a Discovery Institute press release which includes Philip S. Skell who is described as an Emeritus Prof. Of Chemistry. Strangely enough, in a more recent press release from the Discovery Institute we read
Dr. Phil Skell, a member of the National Academy of Sciences** and a professor emeritus of biochemistry at Pennsylvania State University, has just sent an open letter to the Kansas State Board of Education encouraging them to revise the stateâs science standards to allow students to learn the scientific evidence both for and against biological and chemical evolution.
What happened? Chemistry or biochemistry⦠Intelligent design or evolutionâ¦
On the ASA discussion list, people are quickly to point out that
Stephen Matheson Wrote:Sneaky, sneaky. The Discovery Institute identifies Skell as a âprofessor emeritus of biochemistry.â Nope; he identifies his research interests as âorganic chemistry mechanisms, organometallic chemistry, and heterogeneous catalysis,â and his title at Penn State is âHolder Emeritus of the Evan Pugh Professor of Chemistry.â He may well know what an Alu repeat is, but heâs not a biochemist.
Naturally this wonât matter to the Discovery Institute, which would surely never be caught dead making a bogus appeal to authority.
On the NAS website Philip Skell describes his research interests as
My research interests are organic chemistry mechanisms, organometallic chemistry, and heterogeneous catalysis.
A quick search of the NAS website returns the following list of biochemistry members. I count 163 members, Phil Skell is not among them. I also count 41 members in evolutionary biology and 84 in genetics and 87 under Cellular and Developmental Biology
The position of the National Academies of Science on science and creationism include
These kinds of actions by members of the school board are classic approaches to introduce Intelligent Design theory into the biology curriculum. Intelligent Design is a recent permutation of âcreation scienceâ that is being touted as an alternative to the modern theory of evolution. It is argued that molecular biology has now revealed that cells are formed from such a complex network of proteins and protein-generating processes that they could not have evolved without the intervention of a special outside intelligence. Proponents of Intelligent Design claim that their approach does not involve religious tenets and therefore does not violate the separation of church and state principle on which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a number of cases involving attempts to teach some form of âcreation scienceâ in public school science classes. School board members and the public are bombarded with arguments that including more than one approach to origins of life in science curricula promotes fairness, academic freedom, and intellectual opennes
So here we have the personal opinion of a professor in chemistry, famous for his work on carbenes, commenting on evolution and at the same time his title evolved into professor of biochemistry. If we insist on arguing from authority, may I propose that we thus compare Skellâs opinion with the opinion of the NAS and its members?
A search on Pubmed returns zero hits for Skell and Google Scholar returned 22 links. None seem relevant to biochemistry. One link refers to a response by Skell to an article by Eugenie Scott Not (just) in Kansas Anymore
He describes
Over A half century ago, during WW II, I was personally associated with an antibiotics research group, engaged in the full range of activities, from finding organisms which inhibited bacterial growth to the isolation and proof of structure of the antibiotics they produced
Is that the full extent of Skellâs involvement in biochemistry?
On Stranger Fruit John Lynch describes the situation
I donât care what he has to say about biological evolution. Iâm sure he wouldnât care about what I have to say about carbenes. And thatâs how it should be. Only in the fevered mind of the DI are all scientists equally conversant with biology. Only to the DI does it matter that Skell is a NAS member. NAS members have been wrong before within their field (all scientists have been!), why should we listen when they talk outside their field?
More information can be found Here including the following quote from Skell
Philip Skell Wrote:âthe main purposeâ of anyone teaching evolutionary biology in our schools is the âindoctrination of students to a worldview of materialism and atheismâ
See James Morrowâs response to Skell
James Morrow Wrote:As for the periodic table of the elements â the sooner we expunge it the better. While ostensibly useful to chemists like Skell, the periodic table is a manifestly atheistic schema, implying that every atom boasts a natural internal cohesion requiring no divine glue
ID, always hurting for being scientifically vacuous, has now chosen the predictable and fallacious appeal to authority. In their efforts to sell Philip Skellâs letter they seem to have abandoned reality.
Propaganda at its finest.

Isn't it amazing how busy you can get when the weather is nice and you realize that summer is only about 4 months long where you live?
We are officially into Autumn here, which means that the Valley slows down, and you start to have time to do things for your self. We finished up our Mountain Bike racing for the season. I finished with the 24 Hours in the Sage, stopping 18 hours into it. Tam finished with a Cat 1 win at the MSC Race in Sol Vista. Before that we were in the North East for 2 great Xterra races, both of which Tam was the top female. I did the bike portion, teaming up with my dad and Bro-in-law. We were first 1 race and dead last the other. The one we came in last was after a week's worth of bingeing on my mom's baking.
Now Tam is gearing up for Xterra US Nationals. They are up in Ogden, UT. And we just found out that Lance (yes, the Lance) is going to race. Doesn't he know super skinny guys don't float very well? This is always a cool race in a beautiful part of Utah.
After that is a couple of weeks until we go to Maui for Xterra World Championships. And then after that, Tam gets to have some down time. I have been having it, and it is very nice. This has been a perfect opportunity for me to set some goals for next season and over the winter. I tell everyone of my clients to set goals. And I rarely do. But what is amazing, is that if you listen to what you are saying to other people, and implement them into your own life, it works out well.
So for the next week or two, as I watch some of the best endurance athletes in the world compete. Goals are on my mind and good goals, SMART goals. I would highly recommend it.
Good question. We have not been here very much. Meaning updating this site. But… the Angels are rocking, Tam is rocking, we have been racing, and we are gearing up for some pretty big events.
First off, I am racing in the Breck 100 this Saturday. It is around 13,000-14,000 feet of Mt Bike Climbing. 100 Miles through Breck with a lot of single track mixed in. It is definitely an epic day. One that Warren and I are probably not ready for, but are you ever really "ready" for a ride like this?
That should only have me sore for about 5 days, right in time to recover to make my dancing debut. That is right. I am a participant in the Youth Foundation's Star Dancing Gala. This helps raise money for the Youth Foundation, and it in turn for the Ells Angels.
Tam has the Beaver Creek Xterra on Saturday. This is the Rocky Mountian Regional Championship. It is the race that she won last year to send her to Nationals and Worlds. Needless to say, she has some pretty high hopes this year for this race. She has already won in Vegas, so she has qualified for everything, this is just to race in front of the home crowd.
The Angels have started to really become Mt. Bikers. The firs couple of weeks were a little tough, but now they are really doing great. The Davos Dash last week was a race to see how tough they were. And they passed. We were extremely proud.
We have 2 athletes racing over in New Hampshire on Sunday in a sprint triathlon. These women have been great figuring out how to juggle life, work, training and nutrition. As we all know, this is not easy. You can see their training blow be the lins to the left.
We are going to be at a few Mountian States Cup races and then off to the east coast to race and vacation with family for 10 days. That will be awesome and then back for a good last push before Tam races at Nationals and World Championships. Stay tuned, we won't be strangers.

Dear All,
Anyone know anyplace I could buy stuff for making pizza. In Hongkong or in Shenzhen is ok.
Hmm.... Like Cabanossi、Pepperoni、Seafood sauce、Aoricot berries、 Smoked Cheddar、Custard etc. .
Better not so expensive.
Thanks super much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has been living in Shekou since she was born, and even working near to those shops(near rose garden 2)..and Im pretty sure she knows all places better than everyone here... I just am wondering why she s asking !
It's late at night and I can't be bothered looking through the replies, so if this has already been said, apologies.
There's no need to buy any pizza sauces. All that you need to do is buy tomato puree ("paste" in American English). Spread it on top, add herbs of your choice (generally oregano) and put the cheese, et cetera, on top.
man, just wrote a super long response when my computer had a 'run time error' and shut down..can't be bothered to write a novel again but i'll try to answer your questions in a more compact method
Yeast: never been to SZ but i cant imagine it's hard to find..they have it in the regular small supermarket here in the village of Dali... there's a Chinese brand one called 'Angel' that is cheap and fine.. i'm sure if you ask the people in any large supermarket they can show it to you.just use that translator on your phone and show the employee's the word in Chinese..its really not uncommon here as its also used often in chinese cooking..no need spend big bucks at a fancy western grocers for it..remember there is 2 kinds though... active dry yeast and instant dry yeast...look up the difference and know which one you're buying...they're both fine but the instant one doesn't need to be 'proofed' in water.
pizza sauce: Yes, pizza sauce and tomato pasta sauce are teh same thing..if you are feeling lazy then go ahead and buy a bottle of regular tomato sauce for pastas and it will work the same on pizza.. in fact, every amatuer cook should have a basic tomato sauce recipe in their arsenal as i've described in my previous post.. starting from a basic tomato sauce you can make a dozen other things.. use it for pizza sauce, pasta sauce, add cream and make it a rose sauce, add some chili or hot sauce to make it a spicy arribiata pasta, or use it for chicken parmagana, add beef to make a spag bolognaise (although that's not authentic but tastes good) on and on...I always have frozen bags of tomato pasta/pizza sauce in the freezer
lastly, for pizzas 'on the go' as was asked about
spend a half day making a big batch of dough and pizza sauce. Once the dough balls have been made lightly cover the entire ball with oil and wrap in seran wrap..making sure the seran wrap completely covers/touches the oiled ball so there is no air.. you can then put them in the fridge up to 5 days or in the freezer for months on end.. if you freeze them just remember to move it to the fridge the night before you wanna use it so it wont be frozen when you get home from work... for the sauce, divide into freezer bags and freeze them.. you can instantly defrost them in a microwave or on a pan on the stove.. so you get home from work, roll out your defrosted pizza ball, defrost the sauce and spread it on, add topping and cheese adn in literally 15minutes from getting home you can enjoy a home made pizza that's cheaper and healthier than ordering one in because you're too lazy to cook
ah your not here in SZ!
sorry about the run time error - kudos for having the motivation to go at it again - I've walked away in anger never to reply when that happens. I habitually write longer replies in notepad then copy in nowadays. Same with e-mails occasionally - depends on how China is treating Gmail on the given day.
Thanks for the yeast tip didn't know the difference!
Great 'on the go' tip mate! I'll have to give that a go later this month!
OK, pizza party at my place and you're all invited! although you've have to wait the 3 months until i get there...apparantly that's how long it takes to process a z visa now..ya, no kidding.. 2 months in the PSB and then a 3week trip to my home country to process it..
..so ya, we'll start in the afternoon together making dough, pizza sauce, etc..and cooking our own pizzas..everyone will leave a world-renouned pizza maker and i wont charge you anything! sounds like a nice little party to me anyway..and of course i'll remind you again in three months time!
check out this video by the way! No-knead pizza dough
honestly i dont know what type of pizza you're making because pepperoni and cheddar are the only two ingredients you listed which should be on a pizza!
nogogo and the international grocers near seaworld have everything you need. won't be cheap though...

IPSWICH town target Keith Andrews has handed in a transfer request at Blackburn Rovers, according to reports.
The Republic of Ireland international midfielder spent the first half of the season on loan at the Blues, scoring nine goals and captaining the side for a spell.
Town boss Paul Jewell is keen to sign the 31-year-old on a permanent deal, but admits he faces competition from a host of Premier League clubs.
Andrews has always stated that he did not see a future from himself at Ewood Park and now Sky Sports are reporting that he has handed in a transfer request.

"...The one or one and one-half story houses built in Milwaukee between c. 1902 and 1925* were...representative of the Bungalow Style, a link to the American Arts and Crafts tradition, which flourished briefly in the early years of the twentieth century. Although mass produced, many Milwaukee bungalows exhibited principles of good workmanship and the use of natural materials that were revered by the spokesmen of the craftsman movement."
"The Craftsman, a monthly magazine published between 1901 and 1916, promoted the ideals of editor Gustav Stickley, a Wisconsin-born designer Born March 9, 1858 in Osceola, Wisconsin, and the father of the the craftsman movement in America. Articles stressed the ideal of a democratic and functional architecture based on the integration of natural materials and forms, hand-made decorative arts, and naturalistic garden design. At the center of the craftsman philosophy was a concern for "home" and domestic life. The Craftsman encouraged the improvement of all aspects of domestic design, offering articles or advertisements for such items as "bungalow furniture" and wickerware, earthenware, table-runners, and hammered-copper bookends made by the Roycrofters of East Aurora, New York. Stickley and his followers were indebted to William Morris and the late nineteenth century English arts and Crafts tradition for the philosophy of a high standard of craftsmanship, and of design derived from natural forms intended to counter the new machine-oriented industrial order."
"The simple rustic house most often illustrated in The Craftsman and Stickley's books such as Craftsman Homes of 1909, was the bungalow. It took many forms, from Japanese pagoda to Swiss chalet, but usually maintained its low gabled roof, low, open front porch and large chimney mass."
"...Bungalow plans were available from architects, but also through mail order catalogues and many published sources. Even Sears, Roebuck and Company provided bungalow plans in their Modern Homes, a mail order plan book."
The Milwaukee bungalow was, in most cases, a modest home, but one that was carefully detailed and well constructed. The most common material used in Martin Drive Neighborhood was a clap board siding with fronts of varying styles including brick, stucco and stone, and "honesty" of construction was emphasized over any other design principle. On many frame examples, a jerkin-head gable roof was a common feature."
"Although bungalows were built as "infill" throughout the city, excellent concentrations existed on the East, Northwest, and West Sides. The larger house, built according to Craftsman principles, was found primarily on the East Side but also on Highland Blvd. near Washington Park. The design of the larger Craftsman house varied greatly, from somber, stuccoed, hipped-roof examples, to rustic, shingled gambrel-roofed examples. Natural materials, a general lack of historical references, and a spacious front porch were standard features, however."
- From The Martin Drive Neighborhood Association Website
The interiors of most Milwaukee Bungalows have the same basic floor plan - front entry or sunroom, living room across the front, dining room and one bedroom in the center, kitchen, central hall to the bath, master bedroom and the second bedroom at the rear. Through the kitchen would be a back hallway, with steps up to an infinshed half-story or down to the back door and basement.
The appeal of the Milwaukee Bungalow is often the extensive woodwork, hardwood floors, tile work, stained and/or leaded glass windows in the entry, living room, dining room and cabinet doors, natural or artificial (electric) fireplaces and ornimental plaster ranging from simple to highly detailed. Although the basic style is Arts and Crafts, many Milwaukee Bungalows have a mix Art Neuveau, Art Deco, Spanish or Tudor influences, beautifully crafted by the German builders.
*Many Milwaukee Bungalows were also built in the 1930's and 1940's in western Milwaukee suburbs, such as West Allis, West Milwaukee and Wauwatosa.

Dickinson State has six days to figure out what kind of offense it wants to be.
Dakota State is out of the way now (probably forever) and the 13th-ranked Blue Hawks are now 3-0. Now, they have to gear up for what is sure to be a heck of a game against long-time rival Jamestown College next Saturday in DSU's homecoming game.
First on head coach Hank Biesiot's to-do list: figure out his team's offensive identity. I know, I know. Hank wants to run the ball. And that's fine. The history is there and it speaks for itself. But, one can't help but think the old ball coach isn't out there watching senior quarterback Cody Holland slinging passes at 18 yards per completion and thinking, "Maybe we oughta turn him loose.â€
Holland is 33 of 58 for 596 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions and has looked solid so far this season, despite throwing a couple balls too deep downfield today. But that's going to happen at any level so you can't knock him for that.
DSU, however, is running the ball somewhat effectively despite not having a running back reach 100 yards through its first three games. DSU's backs and Holland have combined to rush for 427 yards, giving the team a 341 total-yards-per-game average.
Now, giving Holland the chance to throw the ball 25-30 times a game may happen this season. But Biesiot said Saturday after DSU's 31-7 win over Dakota State that the team's offensive strategy could change on a game-by-game basis.
"I think we're still kind of looking for an (offensive) identity. We're going to be each week, a little different,†Biesiot said. "We maybe don't have anything we can hang our hat on yet. That's something we're still trying to find. We're still looking for some identity. On the other hand, one of the things we're finding is, somebody every week is doing something different.â€
This week that somebody was Tanner Leak. The sophomore receiver finally found some openings and when Holland looked his way, Leak made sure to pull in catches. He led the team with four catches for 70 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown reception where he caught the ball jumping backwards in the air. He also wrestled a potential interception away from Dakota State cornerback Bryce Logan on DSU's first series of the second half, which ended up being all for naught when Holland threw a pick two plays later.
"I thought he made a couple real good catches today,†Leak said. "That's a real plus today.â€
Herr keeps hurting
Dickinson State senior running back Jeremy Herr has a turf toe injury on his left foot. Now, he has a high ankle sprain on his right leg that could keep him out of next Saturday's homecoming game against Jamestown.
Herr injured the leg on DSU's opening series of the third quarter and didn't return. He was walking around the locker-room area fine after the game though.
Herr had 45 yards rushing on 13 carries to lead DSU's balanced rushing attack. The Wishek High School graduate may be the most underrated player on this football team and has a solid presence on the sidelines.
On a positive note, Herr's ankle sprain was the only significant injury the Blue Hawks suffered Saturday.
If he can't go next week, expect DSU to continue using their run-by-committee approach and give freshman Brennan Haughian the majority of the carries. He had 35 yards on seven carries and scored for DSU's only two rushing touchdowns of the season. He has shown flashes of being a good back in the first three games, he deserves a chance to get 12-15 carries in a game at the least.
Another back I was impressed was redshirt freshman Andrew Trejo. In small doses late in the game, Trejo showed signs of being a solid backup who will fight for the extra yard — a lot like Herr was his freshman year. The Los Angeles native had 26 yards on seven carries, including four carries for 21 yards on DSU's final possession that led to a 24-yard Tury Escobedo field goal.
Scout team QB suffers injury in freak practice accident
Justin Espinoza is a redshirt, scout-team quarterback out of Imperial, Calif., that the Blue Hawks' coaching staff and players have said great things about this season. Unfortunately for Espinoza, his first season is over.
During Thursday's redshirt game at the grass practice fields, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Espinoza rolled out to pass before taking off on a run toward the left sidelines. The routine play for the scrambler turned into a freak accident when he ran into the metal coaches' tower off the field.
Espinoza ran toward teammates standing near the tower on the sidelines, who moved out of the way, causing him to run his left leg into the tower. He suffered a fracture near the growth plate in his ankle and is on crutches, wearing a hard splint. Espinoza said Saturday that he'll be seeing more doctors this week and is uncertain whether or not he'll be getting a hard cast or not.
Espinoza is the second DSU player to get injured during practice this season. Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Sam Herauf injured his knee before the Concordia game. While he is waiting for the results from his MRI, Herauf has been informed his likely tore his ACL and will miss the entire season.

Contacting Alumni: Best Practices
Making Contact with Alumni
The initial contact should be by the method the alumni prefers, if indicated. If not, you can use any method you feel comfortable with; just be sure your communications are professional and non-intrusive. Proof your written communications and evaluate the impression you will make. Also, be considerate of time zone differences and time of day (esp. evening) when contacting alums.
Introduce yourself as a Thayer/Dartmouth student (or alum) and indicate how you were referred to them. Explain why you have choosen to contact them and what you are interested in learning more about. Arrange a method of communicating that is most convenient for the person assisting you. If you would like to arrange a phone call, suggesting several times/days that work for you, may be most effective.
We recommend that you do not include a resume in the first correspondence. If an alum is interested in reviewing your resume they will ask for it.
Questions to Ask
(from Dartmouth Career Network)

Tips for Informational Interviews
Be yourself.
Prepare questions in advance. This preparation will allow you to relax and devote your attention to learning as much as you can. It will also help you form meaningful, concise and relevant questions.
Regardless of how you are meeting, bring a copy of your resume to share.
If you are receiving advice via phone or e-mail, send a copy of your resume in advance along with a note that says "Thank you for agreeing to share your insight and advice with me. As I thought it might be helpful for you to know a little more about my background, I am enclosing a copy of my resume. Any constructive feedback that you have would be most appreciated."
Providing your "interviewee" with your resume gives them an opening. Response to resumes in informational interviews generally run the gamut: from constructive criticism on how a resume can be improved, to suggestions on additional coursework or work experience that will enhance your skill set for a given industry. (Remember that everyone has his/her own personal preferences when it comes to resumes. Create a resume that works for you.)
Note: Your "interviewee" may provide you with leads for applying for jobs and internships, or offer to "float" your resume to others on your behalf. You may accept this offer; however, you should not directly ask network participants to do this for you in your behalf. (In other words, they must offer first.)
Speak well (i.e. avoid fillers such as "you know," "like," and "um") and ask intelligent questions.
Immediately send a thank you note. This should be done within 48 hours of your meeting. While handwritten or typed notes sent via U.S. mail are always appreciated, e-mail thank-you notes are also acceptable. The important thing is that you do it!
Always follow through on what you say you will do.
Follow-up by contacting any referrals received, saying, "Mr. Smith suggested I contact you. By the way, he sends his regards. He thought that you would be an excellent source of information. I am interested in investigating the field of biochemical engineering."
Keep a detailed record of your visits.
Don't Make This Mistake
The Dartmouth; April 4, 2002
To the Editor:
I am writing to express my concern regarding current Dartmouth students who are soliciting my help in procuring an internship. I am a member of the Class of 1995 and am listed in the Dartmouth alumni network as someone who would be willing to assist students in their search for summer or off-term positions. I am a New York-qualified attorney working at a large U.K. law firm in London. I was initially very eager to assist Dartmouth students, yet my enthusiasm is rapidly waning following recent events.
I received the first email from a Dartmouth student approximately six months ago—a very polite well-written email to which I was happy to respond. I gave this student my work and home phone numbers with the suggestion that he call when convenient so we could discuss his internship goals. About a week later, I received a call from this young man at 2:00 a.m. London time asking if he was disturbing me and if now was a good time to talk. After I explained that it was 2:00 a.m. and I was rather exhausted after a long day at work, he promised to call back at another time. I heard neither an apology nor from him again.
More recently, I have received two more email solicitations for assistance. I draw your attention to the text of one of them:
"Hello. I found your name from [sic] the Dartmouth College alumni network. I am currently a Junior [sic] at Dartmouth. I am looking for an internship in law or related fields in government beginning in the Spring of 2002 in Great Britain. Enclosed you will find my resume. I would appreciate it if you could give me the name of someone I could contact [sic] regarding this."
This student appears neither enthusiastic nor professional. He has given his summer plans little if any thought. I am happy to help an eager, intelligent student, but he does not appear to me to be either. Furthermore, while he uses the word "appreciate," this is not the overall tone of the email. It is not my job to help him—he is asking a favor and ought to recognize this.
I have only graduated seven years ago (and always cringe when people say this), but "back in my days" my friends and I spent days poring over letters that we planned to send out seeking internships or internship advice. We puzzled over the best way to address someone, the most opportune way to introduce ourselves, the most convincing arguments about why we were the ideal candidates and why our internship choices were in line with our overall career/life plans (at the time). We grammar-checked and spell-checked, and only when we were certain that we had reached what we defined as perfection would we send out our letters.
This pride and humbleness appears to have been lost. I am sure I am not alone in my disappointment at the caliber of Dartmouth students I have come across recently. Students need to be made aware of how to properly approach future employers and alumni contacts. The Office of Career Services should be working towards this end. Such emails as the one referenced above reflect poorly on the student, the Office of Career Services and Dartmouth as a whole. Please educate your students about professional standards. The professional world will not put up with their relaxed approach, and nor should you.

RED LODGE — In late 2012 and early 2013, the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary was hit with federal workplace safety-related fines and the loss of major assistance from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
"Come last winter, we were really at a turning point," said Ellie Marion, YWS executive director. "We were going to thrive, or we were going to be done."
The nonprofit sanctuary, formerly called the Beartooth Nature Center, is home to about 65 animals representing 43 species and is the only public rescued-wildlife refuge in Montana.
It includes wolves, bears, raptors, mountain lions, birds and other animals that can't return to the wild because of injury or due to habituation to humans.
An anonymous complaint last winter sparked a visit and inspection from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. After, OSHA told the sanctuary that it needed to make workplace safety improvements, mainly involving its electrical systems and in habitat conditions.
Specifically, the sanctuary was using extension cords for features such as heated water dishes for the animals in the wintertime instead of hardwired outlets, which could create safety hazards for both staff and animals.
As for the habitats, OSHA said the predator enclosures needed work to keep staff separate from the animals during feeding. Each enclosure has two areas — a larger one for daily activity and a smaller one for holding — and the sanctuary needed to fix the gates between the two so staff can open and close them from the outside.
"They're big issues and they're expensive to do," Marion said.
Adding to the financial woes, OSHA informed the sanctuary that it could face fines, putting additional stress on its $400,000 annual budget.
Around the same time, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks informed Marion that it would no longer place animals in the sanctuary due to concerns for their health, safety and well-being.
"Right now we are not providing them with any animals," said Bob Gibson, a Billings-based FWP spokesman. "In the mind of the FWP and our inspectors, the sanctuary is not anywhere close to the standards that it needs to accept any animals from us."
In addition, financial problems forced Marion to release numerous staff, with a low of just three employees in February.
Even before those troubles began, the sanctuary was working on a five-year plan to stabilize itself and take care of deferred maintenance, but the winter events, and a contentious February public meeting to discuss those issues, put those efforts into overdrive.
Marion said that since the OSHA and FWP issues surfaced, the sanctuary has come up with a plan to address those concerns.
"It's really only been a little while but so much has happened in the last three-and-a-half months," Marion said.
At the root of the problems is a lack of consistent finances, but the sanctuary recently received a huge boost in the form of a $270,000 private mortgage on a 20-acre piece of land owned by the YWS north of Red Lodge.
That money is going toward numerous projects and improvements, including addressing the issues brought to light by OSHA and the FWP.
Marion said the mortgage comes from a private family that asked not to be named — she calls the family "angel investors" — and essentially works in the same way as a bank mortgage.
"They stepped in and they sure did a lot for us," she said.
On June 25, Marion met with OSHA representatives to go over the sanctuary's efforts to correct electrical and habitat issues. They've already started the process of replacing old electrical panels and plan to install solar panels and trenches to run wiring through.
In the habitats, sanctuary staff has made progress on repairing the gates separating the large enclosures from the small ones, which are used to hold the predators while staff clean or put out food.
Even though OSHA informed Marion that the sanctuary would have to pay a $5,400 fine, Tuesday's meeting went well, with the agency approving of the progress, Marion said.
"It couldn't have gone any better," she said. "We went in and showed what we've done already and that went a long way towards making them feel comfortable that we're dealing with the citations."
As for FWP not providing any more animals, that'll take more work. Gibson said the agency wants the habitats to meet Association of Zoos and Aquariums standards before placing new animals there.
That means major facility and habitat upgrades sanctuary-wide. However, the FWP has agreed to provide approved animals — there are certain ones, such as bats, raccoons, moose dear or elk that they won't provide at any time due to disease concerns — each time a specific habitat is taken care of.
"The agreement is that if they get a habitat to where it meets AZA standards, say for a bobcat, we will allow them to have that animal," Gibson said.
Improving the habitats is also part of a larger long-term goal of taking the sanctuary to the next level, Marion said.
Money from the private mortgage will help to kick-start many of those efforts, although the sanctuary hopes to drastically increase its donations.
Marion said that comparable organizations and facilities bring about 25 percent of their money through admissions and the other 75 percent through grants and donations while the YWS does the exact opposite.
"It's just critical that we have support from the community," she said.
She also acknowledged that she needs to improve the sanctuary's relationship with the community, especially after last winter's troubles.
"Change is hard," Marion said. "We need to do a better job of communicating the changes we're trying to make, especially the positive ones."
Already there are 12 staff members — up from three a few months ago — including a trio of management-level positions.
The sanctuary has also started a program to increase educational opportunities and is consulting experts throughout the Yellowstone National Park ecosystem for help. The first step involves determining exactly what kind of educational experience they want to provide and then implementing that theme throughout the sanctuary in relation to the wildlife there.
"It's not OK to just have that wow factor anymore," Marion said. "Not only is it, 'Wow, I saw a mountain lion.' It's, 'Now I understand a mountain lion's role in the ecosystem.'"
While there's still a lot of work left and it's early on in the process, Marion hopes those efforts will pave the way to the sanctuary's place and future in the Red Lodge area.
"The question was, 'Is it worth saving,'" she said. "Everybody involved agreed that it is."

Just call 1300 554 553
A commercial hire purchase is a type of car lease where the customer can obtain goods by hiring them over the repayment term. The transfer of title to the customer for the vehicle is completed when the finance provider receive's the last rental.
A commercial hire purchase is also known as a hire purchase, CHP, offer to hire or term purchase.
Under a commercial hire purchase agreement you do not become owner of the motor vehicle until all monies owed under the arrangement are paid. However, you can still claim a tax deduction for the depreciation on the motor vehicle as well as the interest component of the loan repayments where the motor vehicle is used for business related purposes.
The commercial hire purchase balloon is the amount that will need to be paid to the finance provider at the end of a commercial hire purchase. Having a balloon put into your agreement makes the monthly lease payments cheaper and much more affordable. The decision of having a balloon or not is entirely up to you, you may choose to pay the motor vehicle down to zero which means once the final lease payment is made, you own the motor vehicle.
Click here for a detailed summary of all residual values and balloon structures. Car Lease Residuals
A commercial hire purchase is suitable when you use your vehicle wholly or predominantly for business purposes. This means that the vehicle is used for business for more than 50% of the time. It's also a great option if you would like to own the motor vehicle at lease end.
Companies or sole traders using the accrual method for accounting can claim the GST as a lump sum on their next (BAS), whereas companies or sole traders using cash method for accounting can claim the GST in evenly over the term of the agreement.
The monthly repayment or balloon amount is not subject to GST.
Where the vehicle is used for business use, the hirer can claim "interest and depreciation". That is interest on the lease payments and depreciation up to the luxury car tax threshold or depreciation limit of $57,123
GST is also claimable on the purchase price of the vehicle.
If you are thinking about doing a commercial hire purchase, you may also want to consider a Finance Lease, Chattel Mortgage or Novated Lease as other car leasing options.
