SAA Minutes
The SAA Skype's with CEO and Founder of Front Porch Strategies, Matt Parker.
Matthew D. Parker is the CEO and Founder of Front Porch Strategies, an international voter contact and constituent communications firm based out of Columbus, Ohio. Parker, a 2003 Marietta College graduate, volunteered his time to Skype with the Student Alumni Association (SAA) about his time at Marietta, the opportunities his education has provided and his many successes.
Matt met his wife, Marina Parker, at Marietta during their college career and they are in the process of adopting their first child from Ethiopia. Matt spoke to the students about his passion for his family, faith and politics. He shared his struggle to get where he is now and gave them all reason to believe that they can do what they love if they work hard at it. Matt told the students if there was one bit of advice he could give them, it would be to learn how to communicate. "You have to know how to write…" Matt told the SAA.
The Student Alumni Association and the Office of Alumni Relations would like to thank Matt for taking the time to Skype and to offer great advice. We wish Matt and Marina the best of luck with their baby and congratulate them on becoming first time parents!
If you are interested in participating in a Pioneer Skype with the Student Alumni Association please contact, Sarah Kelly, Assistant Director of Regional Associations and Young Alumni Programs at 740.376.4926 or e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com.

SAA Student/Faculty Reception
The Student Alumni Association hosted its annual Student/Faculty Reception Thursday night, May 10th at the Galley in downtown Marietta. This reception gave students and faculty one last chance to reminisce over the past four years and talk about the future. Students learned just how much the Marietta College Alumni Association can do for them after graduation and had the chance to soak up any last minute advice before they begin their next adventure.
During the Reception students had the opportunity to sign up for a raffle…To sign up they wrote down their favorite Marietta College Memory, here is what some of them had to say:
Alex Wynn's favorite memory was helping to make community baseball day a success.
Emily Caris and Robin Nelson enjoyed their time working with the Student Alumni Association (SAA)!
Derek Hannen and Will Vance remember hanging up a tire swing in the freshman quad 3 times!!
Miranda Carver's favorite memory was the Late Night Breakfast! She said "It's always great to see faculty and students having a great time!"
Amber Vance enjoyed the McDonough Women in Leadership Conference and passing out candy for trick-or-treaters at Dr. Young's home.
Jackie Bergy's favorite memories was interacting with the Board of Trustees at the Homecoming Brunch. She thought it was great hearing how Marietta College was when they attended and good practice networking.

How Can Fugitive Dust be Controlled?Control techniques for fugitive dust sources generally involve watering, chemical stabilization, planting of vegetative cover, or reduction of surface wind speed with windbreaks or source enclosures. Watering, the most common and, generally, least expensive method, provides only temporary dust control. The use of chemicals to treat exposed surfaces provides longer dust suppression, but may be costly, have adverse effects on plant and animal life, or contaminate the treated material.Adjusting work practices is a good preventative technique for reducing the amount of dust generated. For example, the elimination of mud/dirt carried out on paved roads at construction sites, the clean-up of spillage on paved or unpaved travel surfaces, reduction of vehicle speeds, and minimizing disturbed areas during the winter months all help prevent fugitive dust.
Do I Need to Submit a Fugitive Dust Control Plan in Connection with my Development?
If your project has the potential to degrade air quality (e.g., due to significant and long-term earthmoving activities), or to create a nuisance for adjacent properties or roadways as a result of blowing dust (e.g., a property engaged in significant earthmoving activity for a driveway along Hwy 82), then your County permit, or other land use approval, will typically require you to submit an application to the building department during submittal.
The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division also regulates fugitive dust pollution from land development activities in the State of Colorado. State requirements are complex. General information can be obtained online at: Air Pollution Control Division at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Specific questions can be directed to Division staff by calling 303.692.3100. If you are required to submit a Fugitive Dust Control Plan to the state in connection with state permitting requirements, you may submit the same plan to EH/NR in order to satisfy the County Fugitive Dust Control Plan requirements.

What a week we had. All 15 members of Team CatWalk made it safely round the NYC marathon and lived to tell the tale! To come all the way from New Zealand to participate in the world's greatest marathon was an amazing experience and boy, does New York know how to host a party?! What an incredible atmostphere – the spectators, the bands, the food, the flags; just amazing.
Our sponsored Icebreaker gear was such an awesome treat too. To get logoed running tees (Rush Crewe for women and Ace Crewe for men) and a hoodie (GT260 Quantum Hood) really cemented the Team, we could spot each other in the hotel (even if not on the road with 47,000 other runners!) and they are so warm – essential in a New York winter! We were really proud to be showcasing fantastic NZ merino quality clothing on the international stage.
Of course New Yorkers know all about Icebreaker because of the phenomenal TouchLab store there. As we discovered on our second night in NYC, it's also a great place for a party! We had a great night meeting other like minded runners and getting excited about the big event. The cute 'Ram' mascot was an added bonus to the evening!
Running a marathon for a worthy cause combines a trip to one of the greatest cities in the world with a 'bucket list' tick and a high feel good factor for the Team CatWalk members. Knowing a world class company like Icebreaker is also supporting us gives us that bit more energy to keep going when we are wondering what we signed ourselves up for. We will get spinal cord injured people out of wheelchairs and back on their feet, and Icebreaker will have helped. Everyone's a winner (except possibly the odd toenail!)

Gillian Anderson
(Actress -
The X-Files; The Last King of Scotland; Princess Mononoke
*Appearing SATURDAY & SUNDAY
Gillian Leigh Anderson (born August 9, 1968) is an English American actress. After beginning her career in theatre, Anderson achieved international recognition for her role as Special Agent Dana Scully on the American television series The X-Files. Her film work includes The House of Mirth (2000), The Mighty Celt (2005), The Last King of Scotland (2006), and two X-Files films, The X-Files (1998) and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008).
Anderson is of English and Irish descent, and was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Rosemary Anderson (née Lane), a computer analyst, and Edward Anderson, who owned a film post-production company. Soon after her birth, her family moved to Puerto Rico for 15 months; she then lived for five years in Roseberry Gardens, London N4, and finally for 15 months in Albany Road, London N4, so that her father could attend the London Film School. When Anderson was 11 years old, her family moved again, this time to Grand Rapids, Michigan. She attended Fountain Elementary and then City High-Middle School, a program for gifted students with a strong emphasis on the humanities; she graduated in 1986.
With her English accent and background, Anderson was mocked and felt out of place in the American Midwest and soon adopted a Midwest accent. To this day, her accent depends on her location for instance, in an interview with Jay Leno she spoke in an American accent, but shifted it for an interview with Michael Parkinson. She had her nose pierced in the early 1980s and dyed her hair various colors. Her high school classmates voted her as Most Bizarre, Class Clown, Most Likely to go Bald and Most Likely to be Arrested. Fulfilling the last of these predictions, she was caught trying to jam the high school doors by filling their locks with glue on the eve of her graduation, for which she was arrested.
Anderson was interested in marine biology, but began acting her freshman year in high school productions, and later in community theater, and served as a student intern at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre & School of Theatre Arts. She attended The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago (formerly the Goodman School of Drama), where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990. She also participated in the National Theatre of Great Britains summer program at Cornell University.
Andersons brother died aged 30 of a brain tumour in 2011.
Anderson moved to New York when she was 22 years old. To support herself when she started her career, Anderson worked as a waitress. She began her career in Alan Ayckbourns play, Absent Friends at the Manhattan Theatre Club alongside Brenda Blethyn; she won the 199091 Theatre World Newcomer Award for her role. Her next theatrical role was in Christopher Hamptons The Philanthropist at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.
Anderson moved to Los Angeles in 1992, spending a year auditioning. Although she had once vowed she would never do TV, being out of work for a year changed her mind. Anderson did Home Fires Burning for a cable station, as well as the audio book version of Exit to Eden. She broke into mainstream television in 1993, with a guest appearance on the collegiate drama, Class of 96, on the fledgling Fox Network.
As a result of her guest appearance in Class of 96, Anderson was sent the script for The X Files at the age of 24. She decided to audition because for the first time in a long time, the script involved a strong, independent, intelligent woman as a lead character. Producer Chris Carter wanted to employ her, but Fox wanted someone with previous TV exposure and greater sex appeal. Fox sent in more actresses, but Carter stood by Anderson, and she was eventually cast as Special Agent Dana Scully. Anderson got the part assuming it would run for 13 episodes, the standard minimum order for American TV networks. Filmed for the first five seasons in Vancouver before moving to Los Angeles, the series would run for nine seasons, and included two films, released in 1998 and 2008. During her time on The X Files, Anderson won several awards for her portrayal of Special Agent Scully, including an Emmy Award, Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild awards for Best Actress in a Drama Series. While filming, Anderson met assistant art director Clyde Klotz, whom she would eventually marry.
In 1997 work on the independent film Cab Chicago in 1998 starred in the film Playing by Heart with Sean Connery, Angelina Jolie, Ellen Burstyn and Anthony Edwards also worked in the film The Mighty with Sharon Stone.
In 1999, Anderson had a supporting role in the English-language release of Hayao Miyazakis Princess Mononoke, where she voiced the character of Moro. Anderson is a fan of Miyazakis work. She also took part in Eve Enslers The Vagina Monologues.
Again in 2000 starred in the film The House of Mirth with Eric Stoltz, an adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel of the same name, where she won such awards as the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress, also British Independent Film Award for Best Actress and Village Voice Film Poll Best Lead Performance.
When The X-Files ended, Anderson performed in several stage productions and worked on various film projects. She has participated in narrative work for documentaries on scientific topics. In 2005, she appeared as Lady Dedlock in the BBC television adaptation of Charles Dickens novel Bleak House, had a starring role in the Irish film The Mighty Celt (for which she won an IFTA award for Best International Actress) and performed in A Cock and Bull Story, a film version of the novel Tristram Shandy.
In 2006, Anderson was nominated for a British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Best Actress and won the Broadcasting Press Guild Television and Radio Award for Best Actress for her role in Bleak House. Anderson also received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her performance as Lady Dedlock. She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award and Golden Globe for her performance in Bleak House and came in second place in the Best Actress category of the 2005 BBC Drama website poll for her performance as Lady Dedlock (Billie Piper came in first and Anna Maxwell Martin came in third).
During 2006 and 2007, Anderson appeared in two British films: The Last King of Scotland with James McAvoy (2006) and Straightheads with Danny Dyer (2007).
Anderson hosted Masterpiece Theatre during the Jane Austen series.
From December 2007 to March 11, 2008, Anderson filmed The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
Anderson portrayed Nora in Ibsens A Dolls House at the Donmar Warehouse in Londons West End during a limited engagement which ran from May 14, 2009 until July 18, 2009.
Anderson had a nomination for Best Actress in the Lawrence Olivier Awards 2010, for productions which opened in the 2009 calendar year for her portrayal of Nora. In April 2011 she starred in the BBC adaptation The Crimson Petal and the White as Mrs. Castaway.
Anderson appears as the head of MI7 Pamela Thornton in Johnny English Reborn, which opened internationally in Australia on September 15, 2011, and to some acclaim as Miss Havisham in a three-part BBC adaptation of Great Expectations that aired in late December 2011. On February 3, 2012, TVWise reported that Gillian Anderson had been cast in the lead role for a new drama series for BBC Two titled The Fall.

Somewhere in my house, there's a leather-bound Latin copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses, purchased in London 35 years ago with money I borrowed from a Bryn Mawr student who was disgusted to find I'd spent it on a book. I can't remember why I borrowed money from her. I can't remember where I bought the Ovid. I can't remember Latin. But I do remember her disgust. It surprised me, because at the time—living a student's life in London—I could think of no better use for a pound, even a girlfriend's pound, than to spend it on a book.
Somehow a book bought in London was—and still is—different from a book bought anywhere else. Back then, I was a budding bibliophile, stuffed with the lore of making books. I pictured printer's apprentices running from midnight garrets through the streets of 18th-century London with freshly scrawled sheets of foolscap ready to be set up in type—poems, essays, novels, the very works I had come to love as a student of English literature. I tried to imagine the late-17th-century coffeehouses that doubled as book and pamphlet shops. In the book-ridden aisles of one shop or another, I half expected to bump into the 19th-century essayist Charles Lamb on the lookout, as always, for what he called "a kind-hearted play-book." To walk into a London bookshop—and whole streets seemed to be made up of nothing but bookshops—was not so much to go back in time. It was to stand in a place where the past casts up its riches like sea wrack on a tide-swept beach.
Many of the shops I knew in the mid 1970's have vanished, and perhaps just as well, for some of them looked as though they were about to combust, dust and paper bursting spontaneously into flames and sending great inky gouts of smoke into the sky. Sadly, their deaths were more mundane than that. Some expired of natural causes, their flyblown windows finally emptied of their time-bleached stock. Many died in the Great Consolidation—a kind of financial virus that has swept over publishing and bookselling in the past three decades. Still more will die in whatever we decide to call this current economic crisis. Some of the victims vanished unmourned and unregretted. But others, such as the recently shuttered Murder One Bookshop—a beloved store that sold mysteries and crime novels on Charing Cross Road, the street that used to be the very heart of London bookselling but is now a slightly depressing remainder of itself—left behind grieving, dismayed customers.
These days, of course, you can get any book—every book—delivered with a few clicks on your computer, including the cheapest copy of the latest book. And yet at the same time books are steadily slipping behind an electronic curtain, becoming iBook apps or drab, Kindled, digital versions of what Lamb once called "biblia a-biblia"—books which are not books, mere intangible shadows of their old, visceral selves. The touch and smell of a book well-bound and well-printed on well-made paper feels more antique than ever, a sensory experience increasingly lost to time, like the scent of a spermaceti candle. Soon we'll forget what a tactile pleasure reading really was.

The Music: An artist without a generational tie to the West Indies, Alicia Keys began adding a reggae element in 2007 before and during the promotion of "As I Am." However the songbird pulled it off so well, you couldn't tell the difference. Keys was featured on Cham's mainstream hit, "Ghetto Story" during the summer of 2007 and produced a reggae remix for "No One" featuring Junior Reid. She could be spotted the same year performing the remix alongside Reid at the American Music Awards. She also surprised the audience with a special appearance by Beenie Man and Chaka Demus & Pliers who performed their hits as she skillfully rolled her hips alongside the other dancers.

Does anyone know how I can locate crafters for a holiday craft show? The show is in Nov., in St. Clair Shores, Michigan (southeast part of Michigan). We've been advertising everywhere and have generated a lot of response from consumers. But have found only a few crafters interested in being vendors. Any suggestions? |

Go to the website "primmart.com" - there you'll find a wonderful group of crafters who mostly do primitive/country crafts (yes holiday crafts) but a lot of the members have stores, sell online, in eBay and also do shows. You'll have to be a member of the site to participate or post any msg, easily done. Unless you're a member, you won't be able to see all of the pages/forums in the site. Once you become a member though, go to the "online community" and there is a new post asking for lists of upcoming shows, etc. |
I have a friend who would be interested in being in your craft show. She makes the lighted glass blocks and jewelry also. Please email her at email@example.com and/or send her the information for registering. Thanks! |

Thanks for the advice! I will look into it right away. Phish, with your message about your friend, I was wondering if I would be allowed to leave my email address, in case someone else wants to contact me. Would that be against the rules? I don't want to do anything wrong. |

Go to www.craftlister.com and list the show in the EVENTS section. (It's free) That's where you want to go for exhibitors. Make sure you COMPLETELY fill out the form. That way any exhibitor that is looking for shows in that area will be sure to see it. |

Are you located anywhere near HOLLY, Michigan? That's the home base of the largest craft show promoter in the country. They do shows all over the USA, from New York to Florida to Colorado to California. I personally know exhibitors that have made over $10,000 in one weekend at their shows. |

Thanks, Christopherh. I had already posted on Craftlister, but didn't realize I should also post on Eventlister. Their site seems pretty thorough, and I'm impressed! I've even gotten a couple requests for apps from there. Didn't know about the promoters in Holly. Don't live close to them; live near Lake Huron. If you don't mind, would you please send me their name. Maybe they wouldn't mind giving some advice? Thanks! |

Perhasps you can check the local Farmer's Market - I sell crafts at our local FM. Perhaps there are crafters there too - also check out the local fabric stores (don't forget Wal*Mart_) and ask if ypou cn put up a flyer for your show - Good luck with this endever - once a few crafters hear about your show - the word should fly around town! |
- Posted by dailycollector (My Page) on Thu, Jul 12, 07 at 21:12
Thank you for the excellent advice! I was going to leave flyers @ several businesses and stores, but so many of them don't allow it anymore. Especially Wal-Mart. Well, I'm going to drive around and see what I can do. I'm determined the show will go on! LOL Thanks for the support! You will probably be hearing from me often, as the show gets closer. Any advice is always welcome!! I'll let everyone know how it goes. |

Wrong. From a technical standpoint, it is NOT all that difficult to do this... but their POLICY is to not do it. However, I DO know people, who for various reasons Sony's bought into, have had customer support change their online ID.
So it seems that if you can come up with a good eough reaason, they MAY do this.
Contrary to popular belief, your online ID poses no security risk.
If you are concerned about your security then change your E-mail. The online ID is already public, the hackers won't "get" you if they know your online name.

What We Do
Dugan Foundation believes there is no reason to kill a companion animal for population control. We do, therefore, everything in our power to assist existing non-profit organizations to shelter, adopt and care for the homeless companion animals. We also work to ensure all of our programs have an educational component to allow people to learn what it takes to make a no-kill community.
Three key events work to this end:
Woofstock – Animal Adoption & Music Festival – a large scale adoption event through the cooperative efforts of dozens of rescues and shelters in the state
Fur Ball – a bi-annual black tie fundraising event generating grant funds for work primarily in Spay Neuter efforts
Happy Howlidays – a food and supplies collection drive for selected animal welfare groups in Washington State.
We also attend many animal related events, educating the public about our mission and efforts. See our event calendar to find out where we will be next.
Longer term, we are currently focused in the development of a spay/neuter clinic in Tacoma, Washington with the capability to provide up to 20,000 spay/neuter surgeries a year, free to citizens and rescues. The rescues and shelters of Washington have expressed enough need to bring that clinic to capacity within its first year. Next steps will be to implement a regional plan for Washington, building a clinic in Eastern Washington, with two clinics to follow strategically placed to manage the overpopulation.

The review is for the black handle.
I finally found it in Target, exactly the density & feel I'd like it to be, and the price is so reasonable.
The hair appeared to either shed or broke off a bit during the first few times I used it, but has since stopped.

A review for the BLACK handle Blusher Brush.
Best blush brush ever! I wash it every week. The hair doesn't fall off. Great quality. Picks up blush very easily and does a great job blending because it's so soft. My search for blusher brush ends here:)
It's around $17something. Wait for the Target coupon if you plan to buy it. Usually it will save you $2.

This is for the BLACK handled brush. (Sidenote: I find all the black handled brushes are worth the extra 5 bucks or so. They don't shed as much and will last a lot longer!)
I really like this blush brush! I'm not sure this is my absolute favorite (I also really like the blush brush from EcoTools). This brush sometimes feels a little too big to apply blush, but too small to apply all-over powder. I keep going back to it and really do like it, as it is very soft and does not shed.

After trying many different blush brushes(drugstore mind you), I have to say that this one is by far my favorite. I own the brush with the white handle and black bristles. I have had this brush for 5 years. So far I haven't experienced any shedding with this brush and it's still as soft as the day I bought it. Also very affordable which is a plus.

I've used both the white and black handled Sonia Kashuk blush brushes and they shared the same problem. They were great until the first time I washed them, then they began shedding. Worse than my cat. I was having to use yet another fluffy brush just to get the loose bristles off my face after applying my blush. WAY too annoying, especially for a fairly expensive brush. I won't buy this blush brush again. The other brushes in the line don't seem to have a problem with shedding.

I love finding great drugstore items! Picked this up at Target and found it to be very similar to the Ecotools brand. Lovely and soft, it picks up just the right amount of product for me (less concentrated) and gives a soft, smooth application. For the price you can't beat it! Great packaging, also. Sturdy plastic. Keep it for travel!

This brush did not seem to pick up my blush when I used it. The shape seems to be fine. It's soft and pretty good quality for the price. It just did not work for me, especially after I purchased a Sephora blush brush, and I was able to see a difference in application. I wish I could figure out why it didn't work. Perhaps it is the bristles used. I wash my brushes regularly, so I know it's not because it's dirty.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) held a public meeting in Winona last month to gather public input from sportsmen, farmers, and others on the rules in question: antler point restrictions (APRs), which prohibit hunters from shooting bucks with less than four antler points on one side, and a prohibition on cross-tagging bucks, when a hunter uses his or her deer tag on a buck that someone else in the party has shot.
Those rules were implemented by the DNR in 2010 in order to better manage the deer population, by encouraging hunters to take does rather than bucks, and to increase the number of mature, big-rack bucks.
The DNR explained that by restricting the buck harvest through antler point and cross-tagging restrictions, hunters will be encouraged to shoot more does. Because females contribute more to population growth than males do, "shifting the harvest" from bucks to does, as DNR Big Game Program Coordinator Leslie McInenly put it, better controls deer populations.
Population control is the DNR's first priority, McInenly said, and achieving that by "shifting the harvest" is the primary purpose of the rules. She added that increasing the number of mature bucks, providing sportsmen with more bucks with large racks, was a "secondary goal."
Those rules expired this year, but the DNR is set to make a recommendation to the legislature as to whether to reinstate the rules this year.
The DNR has conducted random surveys, held public meetings and is currently receiving input from online surveys to gauge support for continuing the rules. The support is there, the DNR says, and it is poised to ask legislators to renew the rules. The department reports receiving 64 percent support from random survey responses, 60 percent support among landowners surveyed, 64 percent support from public input meetings, and 67 percent support so far from the online surveys.
Those numbers seem pretty clear, but individuals and organizations say despite support, the rules should not be continued. Opponents point to the rules' unclear results when it comes to their primary goal of increasing doe harvests, the problem of localized overpopulation and crop damage, property rights, and the impact of cross-tagging restrictions on the tradition of party hunting. The Minnesota Deer Hunters Association (MDHA) and Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), another hunters' group, support voluntary efforts to increase the number of mature bucks rather than regulations.
It is hard to tell if a buck has enough points, Saint Mary's University Biology Professor Ray Faber argues in a letter to the editor. (See page 4a.) Deer are crepuscularactive at dawn and duskand hunters must spot them from a distance. In low light and from far away, it can be impossible to tell if a deer has the legal number of antler points. Conversely, hunters may shoot what they thought was a doe only to find it has a small horn. Antler point restrictions "make criminals out of people," argued a Winona County deer hunter who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Deer populations vary drastically within Southeastern Minnesota, Rollingstone farmer Bob Marg said. There are spots where the deer population is three times the DNR's target of 15 deer per square mile, he explained, and that has an economic impact for landowners. Marg said that farms in his area have seen crop damage in excess of $10,000 in a single year from deer.
A Rochester DNR official said that when it comes to deer populations in Southeastern Minnesota, "the whole rest of the area could be at or below goal, but there are going be hot pockets." McInenly agreed that there are "localized issues," but that channels exist for land owners with "chronic problems" to get special hunting permits.
Some landowners argue they should have the right to decide how to manage deer on their own property.
"I don't think the government should step up and tell you what you can do," the Winona County hunter said.
"Where's the line there between what [the DNR] should be doing and what they shouldn't be doing?" asked deer hunter Ryan Johnson of Dakota. "It comes down to principle," he continued. "If it's something that I wouldn't want to walk over to my neighbor and tell him not to do myself, I don't think the DNR should be telling people to do it."
The restrictions on cross-tagging have seen slightly less public support than antler point restrictions in Winona and Houston counties, though still over 50 percent, DNR surveys report. The rule has little impact on the buck harvest and a big impact on party hunting, the Winona County hunter said. Hunting with family and friends is a tradition going back for generations.
"I would really like to see cross-tagging come back," Johnson said. "There's a lot of tradition out there, and I think it really takes away from the tradition of party hunting. If you're hunting as a party you're hunting as a unit, why break it up into individuals?"
"In my opinion it is a useless rule to save a minimal number of bucks," the Winona County hunter said. If individuals agree to share their deer tags, why should the DNR tell them they cannot? he argued.
The DNR expects to make its recommendation concerning APR and cross-tagging to Minnesota legislators this summer. It is still collecting input through its online survey, available at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/wildlife/input/sedeer/index.html.

"This recipe rocked my world! Reese's peanut butter cups are my all time #1 favorite candy, and one of the foods I miss the most since I stopped eating pretty much everything they're made of. These are great partly because they are made out of all the things I like to eat and none of the things I don't, but mostly because they are *way* better than..."
"I had really high hopes for this recipe, but it just didn't work out for me. The patties wouldn't hold together...maybe shredding the zucchini would have helped. Also, they were a bit bland. I tried them cold in a pita with spinach and onion, and also hot with chili sauce and chutney. Sorry, but I don't think I'll be making these again."
"I had really mixed feelings about this soup. On the one hand it was easy to make and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. On the other hand, I had to add a LOT of salt. First I tried adding more sun-dried tomatoes and some balsamic vinegar but it was still kind of bland, so in went the salt. Also, the farfalle really sucked up a lot of ..."
"Sorry I can't give a better rating, but these were just way too sweet for us. I think that, whereas in other jam squares the brown sugar and jam add sweetness to oats, the granola is already sweet and pushes the bars over the edge. I did like the added crunchiness, however and they were super easy to make. Thanks!"
"Really nice pie, Anme. I made this for Christmas using a premade whole wheat pie crust. I also used whole wheat flour for the crumb topping. 3 large Granny Smiths and a smaller baking apple went into the pie, resulting in a nice tart, toothsome filling. I did have to cook my pie a bit longer than the recipe specified, and I found a heaping 1/4 ts..."
"It is so hard to find non-dairy potato casseroles, let alone ones this tasty. I made this for Christmas dinner and it went over really well. In addition to being delicious, the dish was easy and straightforward, and the directions were clear and precise--all attractive characteristics during the holidays. I can't wait for an excuse to make these a..."
"I don't usually make French Toast for lack of proper bread. This recipe solves that problem nicely, making even flimsy sandwich bread breakfast-worthy. It is a bit labor intensive for a single serving...so I'll just have seconds! Thanks angelfan."
"YUM!! I followed the recipe for the falafel exactly, but instead of cucumber yogurt I used tahini sauce and hummus. I really liked just tossing everything in my food processor too. The leftover patties kept pretty well, so I got to have homemade falafel sandwiches 3 days in a row. Lucky me! Thanks ratherbeswimmin'."
"I really liked the combination of flavors in this salad, though I did find it needed more salt and pepper. I added a bit more curry powder, but I find I always do :). Also, 1/3 cup of olive oil seemed excessive. In the future I will probably use less. All in all it was a good meal that was quick and easy to make, and used things I tend to hav..."
"We weren't really crazy about this. I'm not sure what we were expecting, perhaps something moister or sweeter? That said, it is really good toasted with some raspberry jam. Thanks for posting."

Phish story: So what happens to all that seized bootleg merchandise?
Wondering what becomes of all the bootleg merchandise that is seized? The clothing items sometimes find their way into the hands of less fortunate individuals through various charity organizations. Such was the case in 2005, when Cousins Entertainment, through its attorneys at the time, the Denver-based law firm, Schwartz & Goldberg, who filed an order in Colorado District court requesting permission to donate seized goods to victims of Hurricane Katrina, an order that was subsequently granted.

That's a very pretty combination! And a cool camera angle! I'm growing nigella for the first time and wonder if you have any tips about seed collection. |
Lovely combo! What are the "straps" over them? They look like metal, and give the planting a special look ... PV |
Man, that is nice! Both the stand and the lovely lush plantings! Thanks for posting a pic of the whole thing ... love it! PV |

very, very pretty Carol. I've just posted a "WANT" on the exchange list for LIAM! I've seen so many gorgeous pictures of them I just have to try some next year. Blue/white/yellow is fast becoming one of my favorite combos. for flowers. Stephanie |
Here are full views of the 2 plant stands. Both were from SAMS, in boxes, and had to be assembled. The bottom pot in this one was too large to fit, no matter how we tried to wedge it in there, so we had to take the stand apart, and reassemble it around the pot ! |
What's in that bottom pot? Looks like it's fixing to take over the world! Those stands are beauts! Pots too! Love your style of gardening ... reminds me of me ...! LOL! Thanks for posting. PV |

Love the pots and the stand. Love your yard too. Can I come over and dig? I have no more room to dig. :-( |
pvick, that's salad burnett in the big bottom pot, with a little bit of chives on the right, trying to hold on. I have to hack the sb back regularly to give the chives a fighting chance. They've both been in that pot about 4 - 5 yrs now. pitimpinai, you can come over and dig at my house any time. I'm sure we could come up with some fun projects, and I'd love the help. Carol |
LIAM seeds are so easy to harvest. They make a large pod and when the pod dries, you tap it and the seeds just pour out - many seeds to a pod. Beautiful pictures - Carrie |

Big single cylinder thumper with better than average off road ability. Yamaha increased the price of the Tenere by £500 in April 2009 due to the weakness of the pound.
Can I start by saying , the editors review is based on a 1989 Ten,, pretty pointless really. I bought mine new from wigan Yam, who delivered it (with Yam Panniers) and picked up my KTM 640 supermoto, Great service, I stay near Edinburgh so they did well. I thought aboput a beemer before buying this, but the money, and the weight made me buy the Ten, and I love it, Two up touring the Hebrideas, camping off the bike for a week was superb and once I got the hang of the hight of the bugger it coped brilliantly. Mines has been totally reliable,, no issues at all. Fuel economy is superb, handling is excellent, off road as well, copes great on the trails round my way. I have been messing about a wee bit, fitted big ebay pegs (superb), Garmin, on a ram mount wired tothe aux outlet in the dash. XT660.com is the place to go for all advice and bits and bobs etc. Will sort out the exhaust (very heavy and restrictive) and do a fuel mod, once the 2 yrs are up. All in all,, brilliant, would reccomend one any day.
i own several bikes and this is my smallest capacity bike. have had this bike over mountains, on long trips and use it lots in town and on freeway. its extremely capable for its size and horsepower. do not try to ride it like a 1200 as it is not. its extremely comfortable compared to what is out there in the market that compares. most 600 size bikes with such capability are either enduro orientated or too road orientated. i think the main review misses the boat totally.
ive given this bike a year .. i bought it with one intention to do as much off road riding as i could ..with a trip to morroco on the horizon too engine .. well its a big single 48hp with tall gearing .. but its sprightly and surprisingly smooth as long as you dont bog it down it gives its tourque early and with standard gearing will lollop along at 80mph all day its delivery is great its soft low down but with a long action throttle you can spin it up when you want to .not when the engine feels like it ..so easy to pick your way through rocks and stuff without unwelcome spin ups ..on a bike this tall its a nice plus evryone has a different take on what they want ..to own this bike and get on with it i think a certain mindset is a good idea . for me the gearing is too tall ..a 14 tooth front sprocket helps usability all round ..the payback is 75mph criusing on the motorway is where your at shed with knobblies this seems sensible enough anyway so no big deal overall it gives around 65mpg ..that can be 55mpg on motorway slogs and 70mpg chugging around the back roads short shifting at 4k revs i went on to cut the cat out of the exhaust and fit a fual mod ..now the big single is really flexible ..between the gearing and the breathing mods its so much better all round inm not a total mug off road but not a great talent ..but bit by bit ive got used to the tenere and have surprised myself where its gone and how well its dealt with it lowering the bike has helped to get me feet down off road [im 6ft 1 tall too ] replacing the fork springs with ohlins is a absalute must ..i say that after doing it but its way to0 soggy as standard .. loads of suspension travel and for a big bus adventure off road its very good as long as you remember your not in the dakar here the tenere makes a lot of sense the equipment readouts are fine the brakes ...very very good smooth progressive loads of feel no abs ..but i dont want it on this type of bike ergos for me is very good the seat is ok but me airhawk is a great addition for that big trip .a larger giv1 screen with a mra wing and the protection is very good i ride open face lid everywhere raising the handlebars for standing makes this bike fit well with the peg handlebar position spot on .i can literally stand for a hour or more should i want to servicing ..is simple easy access to everything although the rad has to come off for the valves ..its a simple one pot ..locknut adjusting affair .. 15k miles no adjustment needed it took me a while to get it where i want it to be .the tenere can be much better with a few cheap mods it handles really well on the road but again with knoblies fitted quick to 80mph is as much as id like it starts to get skittish after that ..but was pretty nippy through the bends with road rubber when i first got it ..but thats not what the tenere is about ..that said its pleasent enough to ride on the road ... ok so whats bad well the cush drives are poor but can be packed out for 50p the well recorded rectifier connection ..check and seal i would say the standard gearing low beam is ok high beam is pathetic ..spots for this winter are going on ..they are needed whats good ..well you get the idea from the report ..some things that dont get noticed that much .. mild steel brake and gear levers [no stupid weak alloy ] crank case protector for the brake lever towing loop ready for high fender if you need it huge suspension movment the price ..4500 quid for a 900 mile mint condition bike marking the bike for points it will do distance with the right mindset and lots of it off road 10 its a great dual purpose bike town with the right gearing its a breeze equipment pretty much anything is out there 100percent reliable handling its nice to ride engine .. its a good old thumper urber tourers and fast boys look elswhere value ...i think im going to get arrested for theft everytime i ride it
I've owned and ridden this bike since June 2008 and it is the longest I have ever owned a bike. I was planning a pan-European trip for August 2008 and I had a Honda Varadero all setup and ready. I went into the dealers to buy a set of pads for my TTR, and came out with a new Tenere! A few weeks after taking delivery I was out in Europe, I covered well in excess of 8000 miles in 19 days, I serviced the bike on the roadside in Greece and she never missed a single beat. She laughed at the roads in Romania and took on the mountain roads in Greece. Happy to hussle with the Itallians and Polish dirvers without breaking a sweat (unlike her rider!) The bike has had it's little problems, the wiring harness was over tight and a wire was worn through, there have been a few problems with the regulator assembly connection on other bikes (not mine), I've had a replacement swing arm (when the paint came off) but that's about it. She really is the most reliable bike I've owned, even after the Honda! The Tenere is a little rough around the edges, after a while the suspension needs a tweek. Hyperpro progressive springs turn the bike into another machine all together. Replace the airfilter with a lovely DNA filter and PowerCommander V and the bike morphs again. Ditch the twin exit single can setup with a real single can (I'll plug MTC here) and the bike changes yet again. With each small improvement the butterfly becomes a more refined machine. The cost of these modification is probably around £700 with the PC-V being the single most expensive item. The brakes are pretty good, you can add a little by upgrading to braided lines. You get a little more feel but not a huge amount. In 2010 a group of us took the Tenere into Portugal, we covered 800+ miles of off road punishment, reaching speeds of 70-80 mph on gravel roads. These bikes just love this sort or terrain and are just as stable as doing 70-80 mph on the autoroutes. They get a little more hard work on slow stuff, but the key is speed, keep it up and the bike will carry you through. They are very tall, but at 5'10" I'm not the tallest person in the world and I have a medioca 29" inside leg. Like most things in life it's not the physical attributes, but how you apply them, and I have no issue with the balance of the bike either on or off road. It's a matter of confidence in the bike, and this bike instills it by the bucket load. Big singles aren't for everyone, with the Tenere you will love it, want to sleep with it or hate it.
Bought the bike for £4699 including centrestand in March 2009 and it had its 6000 mile service 4 months later thanks to a trip round the coastline of Britain, where it excelled. Averaged 65mpg on that trip, and about 55mpg at motorway speeds. I opted to fit Givi PLX363 panniers and a Givi monokey top plate, to which I fitted an old Givi E360 top box, rather than the aluminuim set available from Yamaha. I also fitted Touratech handguards and Oxford heated grips, and a 12 volt socket. Mine suffered from regulator problems stemming from the stupid design of the regulator connector, which allows water to run into the plug and corrode it. I have had a new partial loom fitted, which I have sealed with self-amalgamating tape. I also fitted a battery charge monitor as there is no charge light fitted. I have had no more problems since then. The standard Michelin Sirac tyres warm quickly and offer good grip, although they run very hot when loaded and my first rear tyre lasted only 4700 miles. I now run Avon Distanzias, excellent tyres with a smoother on road ride than the Siracs. The rear cush drive is made of playdoh, just stuff cut up inner tube in there and the drive will be much smoother. The original chain was shot at 11500 miles and I have fitted an X Ring gold chain and sprockets. The finish of the bike is not as good as my old Honda CBR 1000F, and it requires regular cleaning and dosing with ACF50 to keep corrosion at bay. In the winter it is cleaned after every ride but I still have some furring on exposed nuts and bolts. The spokes need some TLC as they have started to rust despite of the cleaning ritual. The bike is no sports bike but it cruises happily at 80 mph fully laden, and I don't go touring at any speeds faster than than that, otherwise it isnt touring!! I have done 450 mile days on it, where you realise that the seat holds you in one position leading to a numb bum. I do love the bike but the reason I wouldn't buy another is cost. The latest price from Yamaha of over £7000 for a new one is a joke. It is worth £5k new but no more. Update Dec 11 - As the bike now has 19000 mls on it and I have had no further problems with the regulator I have increased the reliability figure from a 6 to an 8. It performed faultlessly on my summer trip to Nordkapp in some horrendous rain when I was covering up to 500 miles per day. Average rear tyre life is 6000 mls - I have kept with the Distanzias as they grip really well wet or dry. Now the bike is out of warranty I service it myself - all parts easy to get and reasonably priced (Yamaha oil filter £8), and from now on it will get oil and filter every 3000 mls rather than the 6k Yamaha say. The bke still pulls really well with decent shove still available when cruising at motorway speeds, and I am still amazed at how smooth it is for a large single. Update Oct 13 - Just traded the Tenere in for a new Triumph 1200 Explorer - the Tenere had 27800 miles on it and I was genuinely sad to see it go. In recent months I put on a set of BT45 pure road tyres which greatly improved on road grip and I was throwing round the bends like a supermoto!! The engine seems to get smoother and better with mileage and economy has averaged around 55 -60 mpg. The Tenere really is an excellent bike and if you are considering buying one then you will not regret it.

Airplane Drag & Graphic Design
From the Artist:"I am fascinated with commercial air travel, so this project was right up my alley. What struck me right away was the series of wind tests that the scientist conducted comparing the two forms. Wind is a powerful symbol so I decided to investigate the visual possibilities involving wind currents. Ultimately I want people to begin to understand the aerodynamics of modern day aircraft, and to question the effects on the environment.
I began by comparing the two airplane models from the study by positioning them next to one another. Then I started drawing layers of wind around each model. The blended wing model has a direct wind pattern, while the tube model is much more swirly due to its lower lift to drag ratio. Layers of wind are color-coded to loosely represent the effect on air quality. I wanted to convey the blended wing model as efficient by incorporating cleaner colors of green and blue wind, while the tube model struggles to move out of the polluted grays and orange. The words 'lift and drag' are positioned in the center to contrast the two models."
—Mikell Fine Iles
The Science
Airplanes play an integral part of the global economy, and as demand for transportation increases, so does the consumption of resources needed to power planes across the globe. Student scientist Connor Lynch wanted to find a way to reduce the amount of resources needed in fuel, noting that a 10% increase in fuel efficiency would spur a savings of 7 billion dollars annually.
Connor posited that planes with a lifting fuselage design would reduce drag than traditional designs, thus lowering the amount of power needed to propel a plane, and the consumption of fuel. To test his hypothesis he assembled a wind tunnel, balances, and three aircraft. He ran each test for 1 minute, varying the wind angles of attack (AOA) from 0 to 20. He then collected 60 electronic readings for drag and lift forces for each condition at each AOA and repeated the test for each condition. After averaging the readings, he calculated the lift-to-drag ratio at each AOA for each condition.
The lift performance for the lifting fuselage design and the blended fuselage design were, over all, better than the tube-and wing design.
The Artist
Mikell Fine Iles is a graphic designer based in Brookly, NY. He received a BFA in Graphic Design from Clark Atlanta University and has been practicing professionally for 11 years. Throughout his career his work has been featured by a variety of publications, most recently Fast Company, and design blogs "It's Nice That", and "Under Consideration."

446 Kirby to Burton
Cablegram 445 BATAVIA, 1 December 1947
Further to my telegram K1 [1], I am glad to report that at Saturday's meeting I succeeded in having Committee give very favourable consideration to Republican requests in the memorandum which we advised Republic to present. Critchley did excellent work on Sub-Committee which advised Committee on this matter.
2. Main parts of Committee's letter to Dutch dated Saturday are repeated in next paragraph. Requests in paragraph [9] of memorandum [2] were:
(1) measures to provide an equitable distribution of food and commodities throughout the areas in which the de facto authority of the Republic was recognised by the Netherlands before their military action of July 21st;
(2) measures to relieve the interruption of the economic relations and of the communications of the Republic, imposed by force by the Netherlands.
In addition Republic asked that the memorandum be 'brought to the attention of Security Council at the first opportunity'.
3. 'The good offices of the Committee have been sought by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia with regard to three specific requests that are contained in paragraph 9 of S/AC.10/46.
[3] The Committee, at its twenty-ninth meeting held on 29th November 1947, decided to convey to you, and through you to the Government of the Netherlands East Indies, its suggestions with regard to those requests. The Committee has asked me to draw your urgent attention to them. I have been further requested by the Committee to express its wish that the authorities of the Netherlands East Indies give their favourable consideration to them.
With reference to the request of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia contained in sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 9 of the memorandum, the Committee suggests that measures be initiated to secure an equitable distribution of food and commodities available in Java, Madura and Sumatra, particularly wherever shortages exist causing distress to the populations of those areas. In this connection, the Committee hopes that equitable allocations will be made to all distressed areas of foodstuffs and other commodities that may from time to time be allocated to Indonesia through recommendations of international agencies. In the opinion of the Committee, it would be particularly valuable for the authorities concerned to seek and obtain the cooperation of international agencies such as the International Emergency Food Council, the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East and the International Red Cross in the distribution of such supplies. The Committee is making this suggestion on its conviction that this request of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia is based entirely on humanitarian grounds.
With reference to the request contained in sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 9 of S/AC.10/46, it is the considered view of the Committee that the early resumption of normal commercial and economic contacts and communications between the territory of the Republic of Indonesia and outside areas will make a signal contribution to the restoration of peace and the pacific settlement of the present dispute, and that this would be in keeping with the earnest desire of both the parties to achieve as rapidly as possible such a settlement. Facilities for such resumption of contacts would, in the opinion of the Committee, also materially help the implementation of both the letter and the spirit of the Security Council's Resolution on the Indonesian question. In this connection, the Committee would suggest to you and the authorities of the Netherlands East Indies to consider carrying out the intent of the commercial agreement that exists between the Governments of the Netherlands East Indies and the Republic of Indonesia with regard to the distribution of certain goods and materials at present in Australia [4], which agreement, the Committee understands, has not been fully implemented due to circumstances arising after the agreement was entered into. The Committee is convinced that if this agreement were put into effect immediately, it would materially advance the prospects of an early and satisfactory settlement between the parties. It is also the Committee's conviction that early distribution of such material would greatly alleviate distress in the deficit areas of Java, Madura and Sumatra, inasmuch as food and commodities could be quickly moved and distributed.
With reference to the third request contained in paragraph 9 of the memorandum, the Committee is of the view that it would be best for it to refrain from reporting to the Security Council on the substantive matters that have been raised in the memorandum until it has had an opportunity to await and consider your reply to this letter. The Committee hopes to report in the near future to the Security Council about the progress of its efforts towards the settlement of the present dispute. The Committee would greatly appreciate your cooperation in replying to this letter at an early date so that the Committee may be in the happy position of being able to report progress in this regard.'
4. In the letter the Committee asked the Dutch to direct 'urgent attention' to its requests and expressed its wish 'that the authorities of the NEI give their favourable consideration to them'.
5. In view of the 'no publicity' provision in the Clause 3 of the NEI-Republic agreement of 24 May 47 [5] we relied on Evatt's press statement of 26 May 47 [6] as the source of our information about the agreement.
6. The information in this telegram is secret at present but I will keep you informed. I assured Committee privately that goods could be despatched from Australia as soon as shipping space becomes available if the agreement were renewed.
