HE MAY HAVE been born more than 400 years ago but if you ask Nina Wise, Johannes Kepler's time has come.
"Galileo's terribly famous and Kepler, who was probably a more important scientist of that era, is forgotten," the San Rafael performance artist says of the 17th-century German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. "He was one of the most important geniuses of all time."
Wise hopes to get others to realize that with "The Kepler Story," a solo performance work she wrote and will direct when it has its premiere this October at the California Academy of Sciences Morrison Planetarium in San Francisco.
To raise funds for the project, she is launching a Kickstarter campaign with "Connectigence: Celebrating the Harmony of the Universe" on July 19 at Open Secret Bookstore, featuring music, theatrical performances and a dharma talk with Jack Kornfield, Jennifer Berezan, Wes Nisker, Christopher Hedge, Bouchaib Abdelhad, the PoRazone Love Project and others.
The date is significant because Kepler had an epiphany on July 19, 1595, that led him to write "Harmonices Mundi," a groundbreaking treatise on the harmony of the universe.
"He came up with the three laws of planetary motion, which really proved once and for all that Earth wasn't at the center of the universe, and that it was flying through space, which completely shifted people's understanding of reality," she says.
Wise barely knew anything about Kepler or the scientific revolution.
"I had somehow missed that in my high school," she says with a laugh.
Her interest in him was sparked at weekly lunches with Ralph Abraham, a pioneer of chaos theory, when they were both teaching at the University of California at Santa Cruz. They decided Kepler's life and work would make a fascinating play.
Indeed, there's all sorts of drama in Kepler's life — witchcraft, death, religious conflict, poverty, brutality, war.
"It's one of these terribly theatrical stories," Wise enthuses. "One of my big challenges as a writer was to take a story full of scientific content and create a story that moved the heart, and I feel we succeeded."
But it was harder than she imagined. Wise is known for her autobiographical performance pieces, "so I don't spend a lot of time sitting around reading books about history."
But that's exactly what she did. She even went to Germany, Poland and Prague to research Kepler's life.
The result of all that research was a play for eight actors, "The Kepler Project," that interjected a fictional character in Kepler's story. The response at the four staged readings was enthusiastic.
But when she approached planetarium director Ryan Wyatt about performing her play there, it became apparent it was just too small a space for an eight-actor play.
"The Kepler Story" was born.
It's the first time a performance about an astronomer will be performed in a planetarium.
"They loved the idea partly because people in the know in the world of astronomy know how great Kepler was," she says.
One of them is Wyatt.
"Kepler's story has resonated with me since childhood," Wyatt says. "The intellectual, spiritual and social transformations in his work connect people on a variety of levels."
The one-hour play will feature veteran actor Norbert Weisser as Kepler, music by renowned cellist Zoe Keating, sound design by multiple Emmy Award winner Christopher Hedge and stunning visuals.
"The audience is immersed in the art, so as Kepler's mind opens to this mystery and grandeur of the universe, yours does, too," says Wise, a teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. "It's like entering his mind. You're having the epiphany as he's having it."
After its October run, Wise hopes to stage the performance piece at planetariums in the States and abroad.
Wise believes we're ready to revisit Kepler's way of seeing the interconnectedness of the universe.
"It's an idea that's very important right now. If we try to create solutions to really dire problems, if it's still every man for himself, we're in big trouble. And we're encountering that problem a lot," she says. "If we could wake up to the reality of this universe and how spectacular and precious it is, everything would change. We wouldn't have the capacity to use religion as a reason for warfare."
More than anything, she hopes "The Kepler Story" becomes everyone's story.
"He was a mystic, and all of his science grew from this mystical vision of the universe being harmonic.
We hope people will go away sharing his vision of this harmonious universe," she says.

What's to Love about Texas Food
April 15, 2012 by Rex Vogel · 3 Comments
Texans take their food as seriously as they do their football. Black's Barbecue is Texas' oldest and best major barbecue restaurant continuously owned and operated by the same family. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved If you slander their vittles, they're apt to defend their deep-fried passion as though you personally launched another attack on the Alamo. Necessity has frequently mothered our creations, and early Texans had to make do with meager supplies, which is how they wound up with frugal favorites like chicken-fried steak and fried pies. Such resourcefulness produced foods that bring us endless gratification today. Many Winter Texans and other visitors to the Lone Star State have the good sense to agree with them—that Texan food is that of the gods. Little Known & Great Places to Eat Sure, there are thousands of great places to eat scattered throughout cities and towns all across Texas, and a Main Street Cafe on just about every corner of every berg from Wink to...

Become a Junior Rancher in Montana!
April 15, 2012 by Melissa A. Trainer · 2 Comments
If you are traveling to Montana this summer, you might consider a visit to the Grant-Kohrs National Historic Site. A working cattle ranch, Grant-Kohrs celebrates the life and legacy of the American cowboy and cattlemen. We visited this fabulous informative historic ranch about two years ago when we were driving home from Yellowstone National Park. We stopped en route and spent a couple hours touring the grounds, visiting the blacksmith shop, and talking to various docents and demonstrators on hand. We took some fabulous photos, but unfortunately we didn't participate in the Junior Rancher program. My children have participated in many Junior Ranger programs but they've never participated in a Junior Rancher program. The Junior Rancher program at Grant-Kohrs is admittedly unique because it teaches children all about life on a ranch as the cowboys, the cattlemen, and their families knew it. For additional information on Grant-Kohrs and the Junior Rancher program, see their website. Photo... [Read more...]
Spring Break with Six College Students–Part 2: The Skiing!
April 15, 2012 by Diane Berry · 3 Comments
Through a series of unusual circumstances, we invited four college students (plus our own two) to spend Spring Break in our partially furnished home in Taos, NM. Despite my concern, it all worked out well. We brought along every extra sheet and pillow we had at home and had plenty of sleeping space for all students. Three slept in the largest bedroom that will become my office, two on the sleeper sofa and Meg in her "own room." Relaxing at the house We left Manitowoc at 5 am on a Friday morning and headed to Des Moines to pick up Meghan and some of the Outdoor Club's skis, boots and bags. They would not leave until the following morning and all five would be traveling in a Honda Hybrid! We then drove on to North Platte, NE to spend the night in a Motel 6 with our three cocker spaniels. We headed out early the next morning and arrived at our house in Taos at 3 pm the next day. After quickly unloading, we ran to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the week, as well as a large... [Read more...]
WHY ARE GAS PRICES RISING? What is an RV'er to do?
April 14, 2012 by Professor95 · 18 Comments
With fuel prices surpassing the $4.00 a gallon mark, to say that there is "pain at the pump" is an understatement. Dropping 200 gallons of Road Diesel into the tanks on the Volvo while in Florida required handing the girl at the fuel desk $831.00. I couldn't help but think of a time when diesel was considered "junk fuel" and was typically priced well below gasoline. While I could have completely filled both 150-gallon tanks on the Volvo in my younger days for less than $100, I know those days now exist only in memories held by our over 50 generation. The soaring cost of fuel (gasoline and diesel) has hit the RV travel market hard. With typical fuel mileage figures for towing a 8,000# trailer behind a gas engine 1/2 ton pick-up ranging from 7 to 12 mpg – even short trips can rack up a significant bill. For example, a 200 mile round trip will consume $80 of fuel, up $20 from last year. The Paradox is that by some estimates the sales of RV towables has risen... [Read more...]

Arizona' Willow Beach Marina and RV Park on the Colorado River is a Great Place to Catch Fish!
April 12, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
Anglers. Pay attention. A 60-lb. Striper was caught just 8 miles from Willow Beach, Arizona in the deep waters of the Colorado River to earn a world record. It's not uncommon to land 20 to 30 pounders! So if you're around Hoover Dam and you're itching to spend some quality time fishing in the rugged outdoors of the Black Canyon, plan a stay over at Willow Beach RV Park and Campground. There's a fish hatchery close to the Park so there's plenty of trout to be had. You can also find Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Channel Catfish, and Bluegill in these clear, cold crystalline waters. The Marina complex has a fully-stocked convenience store so you don't have to go far to get geared up for fishing. You can buy lures, bait and even a license right here. You can also find a large selection of groceries, toiletries, sundries, ice, cold drinks, gifts, and clothing. The RV Park and concessions facilities were renovated in 2011, making this off-the-beaten-path RV Park even more enticing.... [Read more...]
It's an Easy Drive to Mount Rushmore from Beaver Lake Campground !
April 11, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
Beaver Lake Campground, in the heart of the Black Hills of SD, is just 3 miles West of Custer on Hwy 16. There are spacious, shaded camping sites that will accommodate the largest RV down to any sized tent. Located on 20 acres of Pine-covered hills, they have a variety of modern cabins and tipi's. They have cable, free DSL & Wi-Fi, a 360′ Waterslide ($) and heated pool, C-Store and immaculate restrooms. Even the drudgery of laundry becomes a much more pleasant experience with a choice of two spotlessly clean laundry rooms on site. A new Recreation Hall is perfect for reunions or other large groups. They cater to families and pet owners. Nearby is Custer, the oldest town in the Black Hills, with its picturesque downtown area of arts and crafts galleries and a variety of excellent eateries. You'll never find a wider Main Street in the USA than in Custer…planned for the convenience of team-drawn freight wagons that rumbled into town in the 1800′s. Nature's... [Read more...]

I am 28 years old and my boyfriend is 31. We live in Germany. We are both highly educated, doing our first career steps. He has 2 kids with his ex (they weren't married) and I don't know if I should keep going. I'm afraid of his financial obligations to his children. What if we go serious and we can't have children because he can't afford it? What if we have a child but we can't provide what is needed because he spends all his money on the other children? (German system is very harsh with financial obligation of the father.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
No one can really tell you what to do. From my life experience I would not marry him. There are a lot of opinions and experiences in here so read them. I read that the number one cause of failure in the first marriages is money. The number two cause is children. I am assuming that is in second marriages. It's not easy. |
Well, presumably your boyfriend is aware of his financial obligations and how much income he has left after meeting those obligations. Surely you can work out a budget to decide if you can comfortably raise your own family or not. (And good on the German system for compelling parents to financially support the children they bring into the world.) |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Mon, Oct 7, 13 at 16:21
You need to have a budget meeting with your boyfriend, & maybe a pre-nup meeting with an attorney. You need to know if you'll be happy living with whatever financial situation he brings to the table, & you need to know if the courts consider a wife's income as a factor in assessing a father's child support. I wish you the best. |

A man visiting from Calgary was hospitalized and remains in an induced coma today after a seemingly random attack in North Kamloops on Sunday morning.
At around 4 a.m., the 29-year-old was with a group of friends walking along Wood Street between Fortune Drive and Tranquille Road when a group of men in a building confronted them.
"As far as we understand at this point the group of men walking on the street didn't know these people in the building," said RCMP Sgt. Fran Bethell. "There was a verbal exchange and a group of mostly native men came out of the building."
The men on the street ran away and when they noticed the victim wasn't with them, turned back.
He was found lying on the sidewalk with serious head injuries and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital where medical personnel induced a coma.
Police don't suspect a connection between the victim and his attackers, which places the crime in a rare category.
"It's pretty rare here in Kamloops," said Bethell. "Random violence isn't something that would be common here in town. Usually, we find that violence is more associated to individuals who are known to each other or drug-related. But, in this case, we haven't found a connection to either of those."
Police reached the victim's family in Ontario and his parents are travelling to Kamloops to be with him.
"They are very concerned," said Bethell.
Police are asking who heard or saw the attack to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

The Psychotherapy Practice of Joel Hitt, MDiv, LCSW
Lawrenceville Georgia USA
I bid a warm welcome to my patients, potential patients, and to inquisitive Web surfers.
Enter your search terms
Submit search form
Greetings and thank you for dropping in. I am a psychotherapist with over 35 years service in the mental health field. For over 20 of those years, I have been in private practice, the majority of that time with Affiliates in Counseling and Psychology here in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett, a growing, bustling, booming county with all of the opportunities as well as the trappings that a megalopolis affords. It's exciting to be here, but for some, overwhelming at times.
Prior to being solely in private practice as I am today, I held various positions in the mental health field. I served an out-patient agency as their group therapy supervisor. I worked as an in-patient treatment coordinator on an adult unit. I worked 5 years as a family therapist on an adolescent unit. For 10 years I directed the Employee Assistance Program for a 3000+ employee manufacturing plant.
So I've been around the behavioral health block, you could say. Yet for all that history, no one activity has been so fulfilling as what I do in this private practice: assist individuals, couples, and families to make changes in their lives. I help persons help themselves toward a happier, more functional life. I love what I do, I do it well, and I think you'll see it shows.

The Solution
In a constant effort to provide their customers with the highest quality and luxury products, they searched for and selected Warmup to supply the electric floor heating for their onboard bathrooms and ensuites. After reviewing the drawings,Warmup® advised and supplied their 240V 200W/m² matting systems and loose wire to satisfy the floor area requirements for the exquisitely appointed ensuites.
The Result
The Yacht offers luxury in a very customized level of comfort and style. Not only does underfloor heating dry floor quickly, but it also reduces the humidity and its effects such as dampness in surfaces,very common when you are at sea.

How soon will I start to lose weight?
You will start losing weight immediately after surgery, but you may not notice any loss until the second week. With the Lap-band, weight loss is typically gradual and constant, approximately 1-2 pounds per week. Weight loss after gastric bypass. Sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion is initially rapid, slowing about nine months after surgery. At the three-week follow-up visit, we typically see a 15-to-20-pound weight loss, depending on your starting weight (i.e., heavier patients will lose more weight).

When the Redskins were asked to make sense, they instead chose the George Costanza approach. Doing the opposite leads to the glory of a dynasty, or something.
On Day 1 of the draft, Washington's decision was easy, and it was made the moment they shipped every draft pick they own over the next six years to St. Louis. Robert Griffin III would be their guy at No. 2 overall, and barring a dramatic flop he'll also be their quarterback for at least the next decade.
Logically, the rest of their draft should have been focused on inserting the best building blocks around RG3 to ensure his future success. That could have been either offensive weapons, or defensive bulk to keep scores manageable, and secure ideal field position. The run defense was in particular need of fortification early, as that's an area which helps to control the clock for Griffin and his new offense, and Washington gave 117.8 yards per game on the ground last year (18th), and 15 touchdowns.
That was one option for the Redskins when they were on the clock with their fourth-round pick, the 102nd overall pick in this year's draft. More depth and support for an offensive line that gave up 41 sacks last year would have been acceptable as well, even after they traded up in the third-round to get guard Josh LeRibeus. Or maybe a running back, since Tim Hightower is gone, and there's only so much longer Mike Shanahan can keep turning beer vendors into 1,000-yard rushers.
Instead they took Kirk Cousins, who plays the same position as Griffin.
John Beck was promptly and predictably released, and it's remarkable to think that just eight months ago he was going interception-for-interception with Rex Grossman in the most depressing training camp battle in league history. It gets worse: five years ago, Beck was considered to be in the top 40 of the 255 prospects selected in the 2007 draft, and went to the Dolphins with their 40th overall pick in round two.
But Beck's release was a formality, and not a justification. There's room for Cousins on Washington's roster now, but there's still no explanation for why he's on the roster, or at least not a good one. Let's explore this decision using deductive reasoning, because the Redskins surely didn't.
Washington's front office will make one of two claims, and likely both. Firstly, they'll say that in today's NFL with the growth of the passing game, the backup quarterback is one of the most important depth positions. That's the same argument that NFL Network's Mike Mayock has been making all afternoon, but there's a fatal flaw. Actually there are several flaws, but the most important one is Cousins' obvious inexperience. Rookies aren't ideal backups for rookies, because while there's a far higher grade on Griffin and infinitely greater expectations for his long-term success, he still has the same amount of pro experience as Cousins. Zero.
The backup QB is vitally important. But generally, if an elite starter goes down for a long period (and Griffin is certainly expected to be an elite starter) his offense is absolutely screwed. There are only rare exceptions when a team in that situation has stayed afloat, and usually those instances are tied to the team around the backup. Houston saw both Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart go down this past season, and while T.J. Yates was impressive at times, the Texans continued to win through defense, and the running game. Yates was a game manager.
So even with that knowledge and simple old fashioned NFL common sense, the Redskins still spent a mid round pick on another quarterback. And they did it even though their best-case scenario is that throughout the entire life of his rookie contract Cousins never plays a meaningful snap because RG3 becomes everything they expected, and he stays healthy.
The second claim Washington will make is that Cousins can be used as a valuable trade asset in the future. Indeed they're already towing that company line, calling Cousins a "value pick." Essentially, they'd like to make Cousins into Matt Flynn, and three or four years from now hope that his profile will rise far enough to create a market that commands a top pick for one of the league's best backups.
That's a fine strategy for a team that can afford the luxury of using a valuable draft pick on a player who will do little more than wear a baseball cap for several years. The Packers are that team, but the Redskins aren't, and they won't be for quite some time. The Cousins pick also comes just over a month after Washington re-signed Rex Grossman to a one-year contract.
We understand the need for healthy competition, and that's vital at every position. But while he can say all the right things, no one is fooling Griffin. He knows he's the starter, and he knows the price Washington paid to bring him in. So at best Cousins functions as a human lie, and while he may indeed be a capable backup, will a fourth-round QB really be that much better than Grossman? Sure, laugh at Sexy Rexy if you must. Go ahead, and get it out of your system. But he has one of the main attributes you're looking for in a backup: experience, and lots of it.
It's all baffling, but that's just Redskins football. High on flash and entertainment, and low on logic.
With that rant done, here are a few other quick thoughts from Saturday and my five hours watching a ticker. We'll continue dissecting the draft throughout next week, running through a full list of our overall winners and losers, and our favorite/least favorite picks.
Buddy Nix absolutely loves his defensive backs
And SEC players. After taking Stephon Gilmore with the Bills' 10th overall pick, Nix then followed that up by selecting Ron Brooks in the fourth round. It's the second year in a row that Buffalo has taken two DBs in the first four rounds, moves motivated by both the rise of the passing game, and the pounding sustained by the Bills' secondary. Buffalo gave up 232.1 yards per game through the air, and 11 receptions of 40 yards or more.
The picks in the defensive backfield over the past two years also potentially set up a full fledged youth movement at the position after 2012, as both George Wilson and Terrence McGee are entering the final years of their contracts.
The Bengals are absolutely killing it
A franchise that's already showing great promise just added a lot more. It started with Dre Kirkpatrick and Kevin Zeitler on Day 1, and then continued with Devon Still in round two last night, a freakish athlete to upgrade the Bengals' pass rush.
But the most impressive pick came today in the fourth round: Orson Charles. During a run on the position in the middle of the round that saw three tight ends taken over seven picks, the Bengals plunged into the TE revolution. Jermaine Gresham was a first-round pick two years ago, and similar to Rob Gronkowski he's shown impressive downfield ability for a big man. The ideal complementary player who will allow the Bengals to get even more out of Gresh is a tight end who excels while running more immediate, short routes. That's how Gronk and Aaron Hernandez have thrived, and Charles can easily play that role.
It's a little crowded in Miami's backfield
Reggie Bush is the starter, and Daniel Thomas was poised to take that starting spot after he was a second-round pick last year, but he struggled with injuries. The Dolphins drafted Lamar Miller today, and the value early in the fourth round was great, as Miller was widely projected to go much higher and it was difficult to allow his fall to continue.
Miller will make a minimal contribution in 2012, as he'll be firmly buried. But beyond that, Bush is a free agent next March, and since he'll be 28 there's little rush for the Dolphins to make a long-term commitment. That means a year from now Bush could very likely be gone, Thomas will receive the bulk of the carries, and Miller will have a greater impact with more touches.
So Miller's selection likely leads to Bush's departure. Football is a cruel game, Reggie.

Wake-Up Call: Sometimes, there is no justice
Categories: Calhoun: Wake-Up Call
No Latino names are included on the list of finalists, three councilmembers complained (although three Latinos were on the committee that came up with those names).
I might point out there are no women on the list, either, but this is an honor we can pass up.
The current plans call for at least three people -- important figures in the judicial process, living and dead -- to be honored at the justice center. But why stop there? Why not commemorate some of Colorado's more interesting criminal cases? For example, why not dedicate the benches in the plaza to Gary and Marcy Levine, whose furniture empire imploded, landing them in the comfy confines of prison?
Then again, Denver could simply sell the naming rights and raise some much-needed revenue. Strengthen the city's coffers by putting "Strong Arm" Frank Azar's name and law firm number on the wall outside the courthouse; attorney Harvey Steinberg's contact number above the door to the jail. And Boulder-based BI Incorporated, leader in the ankle-bracelet industry, might want to get a lock on this business, too.
Or the city could just drop this nitwitted naming scheme altogether. Sometimes a justice center is just a justice center.

That is a key underpinning to Whitaker's call to use audits and other tools to determine the next actions to take, to focus on the steps required to keep the food supply safe.
It also underpins the arguments Jim Gorny, vice president for food safety and technology for PMA, said later that morning while laying out PMA's concerns about proposed rules for implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act.
Gorny talked about regulatory and consulting audits in connection with the third-party accreditation rule for importers, one of the proposed rules for implementing the food safety act.
A regulatory audit is done to determine if the facility meets FDA requirements. Those results must be reported to FDA.
A consulting audit is for a business to look at how it complies with FDA rules and takes a wider view. FDA isn't notified unless there is a major problem. That sounds reasonable, and it has the pleasing feel of putting the hammer down.
However, what constitutes a major problem? Also, this rule could stifle an importing company doing the right thing and using an audit to improve its system.
After all, we know things go wrong and science is messy.

In the wake of Wikipedia's blackout to protest the SOPA bill currently before Congress, a rival knowledge database has been launched. "Sortapedia" is trying to market itself as the new go-to site for Internet learning. However, accuracy and spelling appear to be taking a back seat to launch speed as the site's founders may have pushed Sortapedia onto the web before writers had the chance to fact check their entries.
Take a look at some examples of Sortapedia playing "fast and loose" with the truth:
Australia: Australia is both a country and the Earth's smallest continent. Gravity is only 2/3 that of the rest of the planet due to to Coriolis effect causing toilets to drain in reverse. The current Prime Minister is Olivia Newton John.
Boxing: Combative sport involving striking an opponent to the face and body. Gloved fists are the common method of delivering blows, however some styles will allow the use of elbows, knees, feet and folding chairs. Past boxing champions include Muhammad Ali, James Braddock, Suzanne Sommers, Sugar Ray Leonard, Benjamin Franklin and Mikey from the Life cereal commercials.
Caviar: Bait eaten by snooty rich people.
Doppler Effect: The viewer's perceived differential of radar weather reports when presented by a guy in a hairpiece or hot Latina in a tight skirt.
Elephants: Mythical large land mammals celebrated in song and film for their fear of mice.
Fu*k: Derived from the Jazz music term "funk", fu*k is the only word n the English language that contains a character not in the alphabet.While not an actual word, fu*k denotes a myriad of meanings and allows users to post comments to social media sites like Facebook and Compuserve without fear of censorship.
General Electric: Hero of the American Civil War, Horatio Electric is best known for identifying that the discharge of negative particles caused lightening. This force he named 'electricity' was then harnessed for use in household products.
Hitler Lair: Popular Danish alternative music group from the mid 1980's best know for their song "If I Squint, I Might Find You Attractive."
Igloo: Dwelling made of blocks of compressed snow used by most Canadians. Shania Twain lives in the biggest.
Junk: What's in the trunk. Yeahhh Baby!
Kim Richards: The star of the reality TV show was born Kim Morgenstern and changed her name after a short-lived marriage to Rolling Stones guitar player Keith Richards. She may, however, move like Jagger.
Limbic System: The site of most basic brain functions in humans. The limbic system, also known as the "lizard brain" is the seat of basic emotions such as fear, anger and that sense that your girlfriends might be getting together without you, even though you had them over on Sunday afternoon with their kids and they didn't say anything about meeting at Starbucks today for coffee. Sure, they could say they knew you had an appointment at the optometrists, but they knew that you would have changed it if they had invited you.
Michael Jordan: Perhaps best known as the inventor of basketball, Michael Jordan is also credited with inventing sneakers, underwear and Buick automobiles.
Nickleback: The origins of this popular musical group are shrouded in mystery. Some claim they are beings from another planet while others say they arose in a defunct Soviet biological weapons laboratory. Scientists have proven that if you listen to Nickleback backwards you will hear messages from Satan, which come as a welcome relief to listening to Nickleback.
Octopussy: Title of a Nancy Drew mystery involving the disappearance of a lady with eight cats.
Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis: If you are looking this term up on-line you are either trying to enter enough other phrases into Google to hide your porn searches or you are a real loser. In either case you should go out and meet a real woman. Now!
Quinoa: South American grain food, often used as a low carbohydrate alternative to rice or pasta. (Yeah, that's right. We may actually know some shit.)
Rob Lowe: Popular sports reporter with the Indianapolis Tribune. Hold the Guinness World Book record for most interviews of Matthew McCarthy.
Stuff: Everything you own is stuff. Not to be confused with Shit, which is everything other people own. (Entry submitted by George Carlin)
Tim Tebow: (Editor's Note: All entries to date now appear to be incorrect. Please check back again next September)
UVWXYZ: Extraneous letters in the alphabet nobody needs. Now, how about those pop-up ads? Aren't they useful?

I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by asking this, but I have so many hostas it is going to take a very long time to take pictures and upload them to try to identify them. I was wondering if instead someone was in the Cedar Rapids, IA area and would be willing to come over and help me identify our hostas. I would be happy to pay a fair price for your time and expertise. |

i dont understand what the hurry is??? maybe you will get lucky on someone nearby .. but if you dont ... just go take 20 pix .. and post a few a night.. and by the end of summer.. you ought to be all set.. no need to be retentive about your garden.. that attitude.. kinda defeats the whole point of a stress reducing garden.. dont you think ... good luck ken ps: have you ordered labels.. and a label maker yet??? created a dB .. etc .... there are plenty of older posts on brother ptouch.. and the various label sellers ... |
I guess it isn't a hurry, I think I just want to skip over the learning period and be an instant expert :) I was thinking about getting bricks and writing on them with a sharpie for labels so my kid can't mess up the system. What is a dB? |
I had a few NOIDs when I started back into hosta. I had about a dozen varieties for about 20 years. I started with 12 at the start of 2009. Today I have 260 varieties. It has taken my three years to identify a single old variety hosta that I had for a very long time. I had two NOIDs that were mis-labled when I bought them. After posting a couple dozen photos of the leaves closeup, clumps, pictures with a ruler, pictures of blooms, the number of vein pairs, everyone helped out with their input and quickly identified what those two were. The more info you can provide, the easier it will be. Always taking pictures throughout the year and naming the photos is not only good practice for what is to come but they are also great to have for reference between now and the future. It also helps in learning the names, habits and preferences of the hosta. Sharing photos is also how we enable each other. There is nothing more tempting to a hostaholic than the photo of a gorgeous hosta they don't have. Also, start two lists. A "Have List" and a "Want List". The want list will be your shopping list! |

Adayiana, where you live there will probably be some arboretums or conservatories with plant collections to go visit. And, the AHS shows, plus some display gardens, don't know the area well enough to say all the resources at your disposal. But one nice thing about going to those display gardens, they are ALL IDENTIFIED with big name tags, which you can include in your pictures. Anything that looks remotely like your plants, shoot it! You have no idea how fortunate you are to have mature plants already in the ground, without going through the awkward immature stages of newly planted hosta. They change a LOT as they grow. So, you will have a better chance of your plant looking like another mature plant with its name tag provided. Just my two cents. :) |

Well if you are anywhere near Independence, IA you can go see Josh at In the Country Garden and Gifts. I'm sure he will help you out and sell you a few Hostas to boot. Steve |
I remember looking at this house before we bought it and thinking, okay, hostas, that will be easy. Then I discovered Hostas are a whole world of their own. |
I am staying at one of my daughters home for a while. She is my non-gardening daughter (takes after her mother). But she has nice landscaping. A family member who is a horticulturalist bought the plants for her and planted them. She has a foundation border in front of her house with 6 hostas. I didn't buy them and she didn't keep records. There are two of a kind X 3: those green ones with a thin white margin, those cartreuse centered ones with a green margin, and those green centered ones with a wide white margin. As a guessing person I would say Francee, Gold Standard and Patriot, and I am probably right. But I wouldn't swear to that in a court of law. My guess has to do with known performance, what was commonly available at the time,and what would have been reasonably priced. Before I go home to my records and db I am going to take pictures, pictures and pictures. Then I am going to measure and count vein pairs, if I can get down there and back up. The same as I have done with my 65 varieties and I still have one NOID. It was labelled Invincible but I am convinced it is not. When I decide I have it right, I will have it right in my mind. We have all done this and accept it adayania. I am far from being an expert and I was raised with hostas 60 years ago. I used to POP the blooms of Lancifolia before they opened, which didn't thrill my grnadmother. I also used to play with those "cute" horned snails with no shells. Now on THAT I am an expert. Ugh, a slug! Come along for the ride and enjoy yourself! Les |
Do slugs roll up in a ball when you see them? Because I saw a lot of those when I was digging today. When counting vein pairs do I could the strips or the lines? Will every leaf have the same number of vein pairs? Independence Iowa is on my way to my parents' house, so I will stop in there on my way to visit them soon, thank you! |
Those are Roly Poly aka pill bugs aka Woodlouse. Slugs are slimey. It is a snail without a shell. You count the lines when counting vein pairs. Different hosta have different numbers of vein pairs. Some will be the same but not always. It is a good way to rule out certain hosta when trying to identify them if the count is too far off. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Woodlouse
I am willing to ID some for you. email me @ email@example.com Rox |

Yeah, I had to put my cat down last night. I knew her health was failing, but it didn't make the decision any easier. We had named her Josie( actually, my sister named her) and I was just a year old when my mother brought her home. Josie was double-pawed which is why my mother chose her from a litter of six kittens. She was a great cat, extremely proficient hunter, and of course, she was lovable.
I can only hope this link works correctly, otherwise feel free to watch this on youtube. The first game since the bombing and the fans took over the National Anthem from Rene Rencourt( The official Anthem singer for as long as I can remember). Typically, the fans force Rene to Drown-out the cheers toward the end of the Anthem. He increases his volume(He's an former opera singer), but this time he gestured for the fans to take over. You've got to check this out, it clearly illustrates the spirit of Bostonians. The video can also be seen on foxsports.com.
I'm sure everyone has heard by now what happened at the hallowed Boston Marathon, so I won't bore you with the details. There's an inordinate amount of information online and elsewhere, some of which is true, some not exactly correct. Make no mistake, this was indeed an act of terror, it's just too early to make assumptions on who's responsible. Fortunately, the people of Boston and surrounding communities are pretty tough, Literally and figuratively. This is the kind of shit that just embolden's Bostonians to act.
I heard about David Bowie's new album being released about a month or two ago. I finally heard two songs from the CD/Album and I'm very impressed. So much so, i want to get the CD. I listened to 'Dancing out in space' & 'you will set the world on fire' while I was getting my coffee this morning, and both were pretty good. Can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks. He's probably the only musician I've known who can re-invent himself every decade. He's truly amazing.
An excerpt:
' It hurts
when love dies.
When love is deep,
it hurts deeply---
more deeply maybe than you thought
anything would ever hurt
But with time,
the spaces between the moments when it hurts
gets longer,
the moments themselves become
less devastating,
till eventually you come to associate them
with a sad sweetness
that has as much in common
with love
as it does with grief.
I wish you long
spaces in between,
To everyone on Oasis, I hope you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! With all the fixin's, of course. Peace!
Aerosmith is playing a free outdoor show in front of the building they used to practice in many years ago before they hit it big. The show goes off at noon. I'm literally a ten minute walk away. Do think anyone will notice if I diappear for a few? It's gonna be a friggin madhouse!
Does anyone live in New England area. I swear we just had a earthquake/ heavy tremor or am I high?
Seclusion from humanity seems the only justice,
pulling me from the deviant thought of self-sacrifice.
Provoking feelings better left unseen and locked away.
Never intending to depreciate your humanity.
My soul is incongruous, mastering the art of duplicty.
Loving you never seemed so inconceivable.
So much I wanted to share, too afraid of rejection.
I'd take it back if I could, but you've heard that selection.
Condescending to the level of those I hate, I'll never sleep.
Changing who you are was never on my agenda.
I was contemplating submitting this following poem for a Halloween-themed contest on Deviantart.com. Tell me what you think, or whether it's worthy enough for submission. Thanks for the help.
Shadows fall against the gravestones of this forgotten cemetery.
Underground, the dead begin to stir, right behind the mortuary.
In the dead of night, beware the darkness, a doorway to their lair.
Hallows eve fast approaches, a scent of brimstone in the air.
Rise up, destitute souls, walk with me, in this undead parade.
In the blink of an eye, the days get shorter
the eve's turn cooler, my spine trembles.
The gun-shot sound of acorns falling,
A harbinger of the change of season.
As Autumn shades infuse the leaves,
Bittersweet vines turn orange, and red.
The milkweed leaves die-back and fall,
revealing silk-laden seed pods. Swept up,
by the wind settling upon the soil.
The cycle of life starts anew, perfectly.
Acrid scents, in the calm between the breezes,
the clock ticks down to the Autumnal Equinox.
So to, as it passes, days dwindle approaching
the winter solstice.
I can't believe the lack of leadership in the company I work for. I have been working in wholesale automotive parts for the last two years. At first, I was grateful for being hired. I started as a route delivery driver. I actually used to enjoy it, because there's no one standing over your shoulder and I liked dealing with many of our customers. I drove for roughly four months before being asked to fill-in inside our warehouse.
I was feeling kinda blue today thinking about Father's day. Reading the Father's Day posts has picked me back up a little. I felt the same way about my dad, loved him dearly. Unfortunately and way too soon, my dad died the same year I graduated High School. He was able to attend my graduation and was proud of me for that. He never graduated High School, but did obtain a G.E.D and enlisted in the Air Force. He was a truck driver and he also did some catering on the side.
This morning, this guy who is the son of one of my fellow employees came to me asking if it were true that I'm gay. At first, I was a little suspicious as to why he was asking me this. I've been more open about myself in work for the last several months actually, to date no one has inquired whether or not it is really true. I really don't have many 'friends' in work. Most of the people are much older and there are two or three guys in their late twenties, but it's not like I hang with any of them. A large percentage of the employees here are Jehovah's Witness'.
I took a small step coming out to a friend of mine over the weekend. Although the reaction I got wasn't bad, it left me scratching my head.
I told my friend Emily I was essentially gay and she couldn't seem to grasp the idea. In fact, her initial reaction was "nooo. Are you sure?"

When you get an illness like bronchitis or the flu, you know you'll be feeling better and functioning normally within a week or so. A chronic illness, like multiple sclerosis (MS), is different.
Multiple Sclerosis may never go away and can disrupt your lifestyle in many ways. But, by keeping a positive attitude, you should be better able to cope with the changes.
MS should not define who you are. You are the same person you were before you were diagnosed -- you just have a heavier load to bear. The best thing you can do is to learn how to make your life better. Here are some tips:

Temperature Regulation
There's one thing that the last couple of years of odd weather has meant to me – not the thought that we've broken the planet's weather; that's not in doubt – but it's the far more trivial poser of 'what to wear?' It used to be that summers were mostly short sleeve Lycra jerseys and winter was a long sleeve thermal and a waterproof. Now we seem to be getting a lot of warm, wet summer days and warmish, dampish winter days along with some super frozen highlights.
Wearing a full waterproof on a mild, wet day is a sure way to boil yourself, but wearing just a jersey is risking a chilly ride home in wet clothes. Luckily the fabric world has been working apace to try to keep us in that surprisingly narrow window of 'comfortable' for some time and seems to be making good headway with our particularly specific needs as UK cyclists.
On a recent trip to Pearl Izumi in Colorado, I had fun giving the designers a hard time about the amount of mesh panels they design into everything they make. While they do get some extremes of weather there, it does seem to vary between 'sunny and hot' to 'sunny and freezing cold'. They know little of our world of in-between damp greyness and I realise that it's truly hard for someone living in a high desert in the rain shadow of the mighty Rocky Mountains to imagine a world of average temperatures and mild, grey, possibly wet – but possibly not – days.
We, meanwhile find it hard to imagine needing new, white arm warmers that reflect the sun and that get cooler when they get wet. Equally, what they consider a suitable winter boot is something that'll keep the toes warm in -10C snow ride. We, meanwhile need something that'll not fill with water and that works anywhere from 10°C to -10°C. It's worth remembering that when we're shopping for ideal clothing for our conditions, that the UK has a particularly odd lack of distinct seasons; probably why some of the UK designed gear goes down so well. The overseas designers are making trips over here more though, given the UK's demand for clothing it's probably no surprise. So if you see a tanned chap shivering by the side of a trail on a sleety day, stop and say hello. He's probably doing research for a company based in sunnier climes.

"In biomedical engineering, students can work on interdisciplinary projects. My senior project was sponsored by a company to design and build a concept model of a medical device." Jeffrey Ziemba
Lawrence Technological University's Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering combines intensive course work in engineering with a strong background in biology, chemistry, physiology, instrumentation, and other subjects pertinent to the medical field. Designed for high school graduates as well as working professionals with a degree in a related field, the biomedical engineering program can prepare you for one of the fastest growing occupations in the health care field today.
The demand for the life-enhancing and innovative medical technologies and services that biomedical engineers create is expected to increase dramatically, particularly as the 77 million baby boomers enter their 60s and beyond. The aging of this generation is also likely to spark developments in the care of the elderly that will require the expertise of biomedical engineers.
Biomedical engineers work alongside doctors, nurses, and other medical caregivers to develop and improve such technologies as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computer-aided tomography (CAT), ultrasound, artificial knees and hips, and tissue engineering, as well as cardiac pacemakers and artificial hearts, electro-surgical and laser-surgery instruments, electrocardiogram machines, defibrillators, and dialysis equipment, among many others.
Biomedical engineers combine a sound foundation in engineering with a working knowledge of the life sciences. These two areas together enable biomedical engineers to design procedures and devices that assist in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury, make medical testing less intrusive, enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, and otherwise improve the practice of medicine.

Thanks to many all with helpful suggestions. The common thread was to use Isopropyl alcohol. The following link < http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-a-Processor-Fused-to-a-Heatsink> suggested the isopropyl alcohol + heat gun method. I tried the heat gun method first with care it did not work. Then I switched to the alcohol method. I kept the CPU + headsink submerged in "clinical spirit" (mostly isopropyl alcohol) for close to 16 hours. I was hoping this would loosen the paste using the dental floss method but no success! The paste had spread to all the edges + corner and I am not getting any gap to stick the floss in it. On newegg.com, I read another user had similar problems with an AMD cpu. -- Arun Khan

Welcome to the Bauer/Hau and Weintz/Ries Family Reunion website.
The Bauer Family Reunion Planning Committee is excited to announce the next Bauer family reunion will be held on
Sunday, August 9, 2015
. The family reunion is for all of the ancestors and descendants of Leonard Bauer and Helena Weins/Weintz.
eonard Bauer was born on September 16, 1812 in Edingen, Kreis Trier, Germany. Leonard is the second oldest of ten children born to Wilhelm Bauer and Anna Maria Kohnen. Leonard married Helena Weintz on April 21, 1842 at St. Lambert Catholic Church in Edingen, Germany. Leonard and Helena had seven children: Christoph, Johann, Peter, Anna Maria (Mary), Susanna, Nikolaus and Peter. Leonard passed away on September 5, 1858 in Edingen, Germany. Their son Peter passed away on September 13, 1845 in Edingen, Germany.
elena Weins was born November 21, 1818, in Ferschweiler, Kreis Trier, Germany. Helena is the daughter of Matthias Weintz and Susanna Ries. Helena is one of four children born of this union.
In the spring of 1873, Helena along with her children Christ, Mary, Susanna and Peter boarded a Cunard Line ship called the S. S. Abyssinia in Antwerp. After a three week journey, the ship arrived at Castle Gardens in New York on May 3, 1873. Two of her sons were already in the United States awaiting the rest of the family's arrival.
Recently, our genealogy research has provided us with some "new vines to our strong roots." We have found relatives for these family lines:
Leonard and Helena's children:
Christoph and family in Minnesota
Nikolaus and family in Missouri and Ohio
Peter and family in Texas and Arkansas
John's wife Kate (daughter-in-law) and family in Washington
Mary and family in Minnesota and Michigan
Susanna and family in Minnesota and Texas
Peter (passed away in Germany)
**Details for these families will be found under the Leonards Family Line link to the left.**
Helena's side of the family:
Uncle John Ries and his family in Iowa
Leonard's side of the family:
Sister - Susanna and Peter Schweizer family in Minnesota
Nephew - Johann and family in Minnesota
Nephew - Mathias and Anna Wirfs family in Minnesota
Many relatives in Germany in the towns of Edingen, Ferschweiler, Welschbillig, Alsdorf, and Trier
We are continuing our efforts on finding more relatives that came to America such as: Leonard's sister Anna Maria Bauer married Peter
Weber and a nephew Mathias and Mary (Theisen) Weber (son of his sister
Anna Bauer who married Nicholas Weber).
We need your help on a couple of items:
Please help pass the word about the reunion.
Please take a few seconds and cast your votes below. The results of the quiz and poll will help us to make the best decisions when planning the reunion.
We hope that you and your family will join us in attending this reunion.
Send us a note from the Contact Us page if you are interested in assisting us with planning the reunion or volunteering during the reunion. As the old saying goes "Many hands make for little work."

Petr's warning to Blues
PETR CECH has told his shellshocked Chelsea team-mates: It's Rafa's way or the highway.
The Blues keeper admits it was the players who got Roberto Di Matteo the sack — and reckons it is down to them to calm the hate mob who abused interim boss Rafa Benitez during Sunday's draw with Manchester City.

Chris Owens is one of five artists honored with a statue in New Orleans Musical Legends Park. She has been featured in OffBeat and Where Y'at Magazine. Though Chris Owens Club has yet to receive many online reviews, five Yelpers give it an average of four stars, and seven Citysearchers give Chris Owens Club a three-star average.
Phillips Bar & Restaurant features an upscale, elegant party environment made palatable by a menu of savory, house-made appetizers and pizzas. Backed by the tasteful din of eclectic musical beats, customers can begin their night by decorating fresh bread sticks with roasted-garlic hummus ($7) or coating tortilla chips in a creamy spinach and artichoke dip ($7). Then, before the kitchen clock strikes 9 (or 10 on weekends) and turns everyone's glass slippers into pumpkins, score a 16-inch pizza ($12) with a choice of pesto, alfredo, vodka, or marinara sauce and a dream team of toppings ($0.50 each). Pepperoni pizza slices ($2) are available until the kitchen runs out of slice shapes. Clients interested in honing their drinking skills may opt for Phillips's mixer- and glassware-inclusive bottle service, contenting themselves until closing time with a Mandolin reisling ($26), a Piper Sonoma Champagne ($35), or 375 milliliters of Maker's Mark ($40), served without superfluous mariners rambling on about dead seagulls.
It may be housed in one of the French Quarter's most historic properties, but Bourbon Heat is far from old fashioned. Inside its Carriage Way bar, a lighted bar stretches along one wall, big-screen TVs above it broadcasting the evening's sporting events. After, revelers can visit Club Heat where colorful LED lights revolve around the space, illuminating the dance floor as the DJ pulses house music and rhythmic beats.
But, if you're paying attention, you'll notice the crystal chandeliers and exposed-brick walls that hint at the more traditional vibe found outside. There, at the Courtyard Bar & Grill, wrought-iron tables are scattered across a flagstone patio where Bourbon Street's jazz musicians are often overheard. In this allegedly haunted space, servers ferry colorful cocktails from the carved wooden bar and traditional New Orleanian dishes such as jambalaya and po' boys. Inside, guests can kick back and listen to live tunes or watch live sporting events on one of its LED screens.
The District dovetails classic New Orleans cuisine with modern entertainment in its dining room, stacked with on-screen entertainment and rustic wood furnishings. Exposed-brick walls harbor the aromas of freshly piled poboy sandwiches and plates of jambalaya with red rice and beans. Behind the wraparound bar and its small skyline of spirited beverages, bartenders augment the creole-tinged eats with wine, bottled beer, and 11 draft beers. A massive 82-inch TV flickers amid seven smaller 55-inch flat-screen TVs, chattering sports stats in unison like Snow White and her dwarfs explaining basketball to Dopey. In addition to televised entertainment, The District's quiz show, aptly named Jeoparty!, lavishes winners with prizes every Tuesday night.
The middle of the night is a perfect time to try Buffa's Dark Side burger, which is covered in Chuck sauce and American cheese. Upgrade to a Sith Lord burger by adding some ghost-pepper powder, and hope that your maniacal laughter is muffled by the sounds of live jazz in the back room.
Bar Tonique is a new addition to the New Orleans bar scene, but it doesn't look that way. Complex City Guide's best bar in 2013 earned that honor with carefully crafted slings, sours, and other old-school cocktails that are both delicious and unpretentious.

Route #2) Mt. Lincoln - Lincoln Amphitheatre
TH: | Less than 1 mile south of Hoosier Pass, take the County Road (CR) 4 west from Colorado 9. Start measuring mileage when you turn onto CR 4. At 0.3 miles, stay straight. At 0.6 miles, stay straight. At 0.8 miles, go right on the higher road. At 1.4 miles, reach the parking area at Montgomery Reservoir. Cross a small bridge and continue around the reservoir. Near 1.6 miles, the road gets a little rough. Climb the hill for a bit and locate a turn-off to the left - at 1.7 miles. Turn left and park near a water shed and concrete wall. This is the trailhead. |
Route: |
From the parking area, climb up onto the concrete wall and and cross a small bridge that spans Middle Fork of the South Platte River. Photo #1 shows the route from a distance. Hike up through the forest on a good trail. Weave up through pines and follow the trail as it eventually turns left (south). Continue to a large talus field. Be sure to bear left to get to this area - if you go straight from the bridge all the way to the hillside, you will be directly below cliffs north of your hiking route. Once you have entered the talus field, hop up through the boulders. Photo #2 and Photo #3 show the area. Extra care is required so you don't fall between the rocks. When you reach the base of the headwall, you can see the ice/water falls above to the left. Climb a few hundred feet up through the brush and along the slippery sides of the stream. Weave your way back and forth staying close to the stream. Don't go too far to the left or you will be too close to the ice/water falls - and don't go too far right or you will enter steep terrain. |
Skiing?: |
The upper east slope holds snow through May. Pick your ski descent during the climb. The Amphitheatre is rough and will likely have areas that require travel without skis. By mid-spring, most of the Amphitheatre will be melted out. |
Notes: |
This route is best done in the summer on a dry day. The return trip past the ice falls can be difficult in the rain. |
