Complete cessation of wind. No hissing or popping, the fire has died to ashes. Water so calm its not lapping against the shore. I think everything outdoors is tired and I know I am. All of this northern most Minnesota nature is shutting down.
It's been a day. We paddled hard against gusting wind. The white caps no matter how well you pack demand you pay attention with each stroke. Hanging the blade in the water is drag and digging deep means you can move forward.
The brilliant fall sun was magnificent. My face, the skin, its dry. Definitely wind burned with the mid thirty degree temps. Birch crowns etched in black, denuded of leaves rise up from pine trees angling down. Long gone the robust colors of fall. I saw it today, all day; I can still see the lack of it tonight.
No crows meandering, the seagulls, no where to be seen. Loon's melodic calls were not heard last night. The small abundant juncos so many days ago flitting have been replaced by snow buntings not purely white yet. My nose ran all day, my eyes watered constantly and as a group we don't care because are shirt sleeves work just fine.
It's a landscape we call the grandscape. It's pretty much been reduced to rocks, water and very cool air. One tree, then another lone birch tattered of its bark, single trees, and a lone stand of balsam. The cleanest cedars of the year. Moose are up in the timber. Ducks blew out south weeks ago. The v'd geese wedges and neck craning wild goose calls, just memories and echo's.
All summer we jumped out of the canoes sloshing in the warmest water to tackle a portage trail. Heavy boots with cold leaden legs mean Slow; purposeful steps replacing recklessness of abandoning layered warmth. Wool pants, wool hats, wool shirts while out of fashion, fit and feel good. They may change the gear were supposed to wear but we don't buy or fit into it.
Wool pockets hold all kinds of stuff soundlessly. We all look good. It's the only time of year we don't look like ragged people dirty from sweat. Perspiration stains don't happen in early November. Collars stay up and hats get cramped down tight. Red cheeks, broken by red noses glowed by noon.
The wind ripped clouds across the sky all day when I dared to look up. Lancing shadows swept across the water. That same wind said if we want out and off the water we would burn to earn it. My shoulders were hot. Dinner plates steamed tonight and were licked clean. Walleyes were an experience in taste and nobody had a problem taking the last piece of fish.
We didn't see anyone coming in on our way out. Its neat thinking we may be the ones who close the boreal door on this set of lakes for the season. No breakfast tomorrow, just coffee and paddle. Warm lung air makes everybody's mouth smoke when they talk; but there isn't much chatter.
We settled are final camp tonight. We quit for the day, and amen, the wind quit for the night. The stars are dripping silent silver just a finger tip away. It's all so peaceful now. I feel bad about wasting one second of it and falling asleep.
The trout whisperer
I think during these upcoming days some of you could help me solve a northern Minnesota boreal forest mystery. I want to prove once and for all that (1) Bigfoot really exists.
Ever notice how some very large pine trees one day are doin' fine all stood up straight and tall, then the very next day wham, all I see is a giant black root ball. Must be something mighty strong to be able to pull a tree over all by itself and rumor has it the olden days loggers were very scared of the (3) agropelter. I think it's a clue to be followed.
Ever been out real late at night and you hear a wolf howl. Then it goes real quiet outside. You have to wonder what told that big ole bad wolf to shut up and the long tailed bugger listened. Could be a track to follow.
I get my hole drilled and I'm just sitting all by myself on any regular lake. Then all of a sudden the lake ice cracks. I don't weigh enough to make that HAPPEN. Water starts moving in the hole so I know something is walking around outside my ice house but I don't like looking when I'm shaking from a fish on the end of my line.
How many times have you been out cross country skiing or snowshoeing and somebody goes tearing by you on a snowmobile at maybe seventy miles per hour? You don't think something way back up that trail crossed in front of them and scared them into drivin that fast. Just about every sled stops at the nearest waterin hole for a little nerve tightener then fer sure.
I say we tennis shoe rendezvous about the third row into Britton's café right off Chapman Street in downtown Ely. If we gave that place enough notice we could all get our bellies and thermos's filled for what could turn out to be one hairy day. Maybe get some cookies for take out, just incase Bigfoot's in a social mood.
Just so none of the rookies that show up get a moose confused with what we woodland experts already know (2) Sasquatch looks like, we could put up two posters. I'll stand there with the pointer for who ever asks and I will just mention the thing here with the big nose and possible horns aint what were looking fur, I mean fer.
This may turn out to be a Superior National Forest scavenger hunt that truly goes down in history. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness where wildness is found and duly documented.
I say we hit the Echo trail right off the bat. If that don't pan out why we footfall the Fernberg road and just keep at it until no stone on the Kek is left unkicked. So grab your cameras and some hiking clothes, we should meet at about seven a:m and if I'm not there don't wait, you just go ahead and start without me.
The trout whisperer
On my computer, at work, is a photo of me holding a very nice stringer of walleyes. In the photo I'm wearing sunglasses and a green earth tone raincoat on a walleye wind chopped lake. The scenery in the background is typical boreal forest with a rock atop rock accented shoreline.
The sun will set in this photo in about one hour so it gives a luminescent yellow tinge to any of the foreground. The walleyes are white bellied with golden sides and black backed. With the sunlight on the fish scales the fish actually shimmer, even in the photo.
The entire scene is back dropped with very large storm clouds scudding off into the distant eastern horizon, hence the rain coat and windy lake surface.
Now at the ripe old age of midlife, this photo answers it for me. I got a limit of walleye. They're fat, healthy fish. I kept nothing under fourteen and none over seventeen inches. The fish are uniformly perfect to my eyes.
The weather captured in the photo speaks volumes if you knew or know what to look for. We fished a front. As it passed through the walleye bite couldn't have been more aggressive.
The photo also show's things that are missing. No other boats, cabins or lodges. We had the lake entirely to ourselves and selfishly enough that was satisfying and tranquil.
If you look close enough you can catch the reflected image in my sunglasses of my fishing partner, taking my bragging rights image. While hard to see, he is there. Both of us oddly in the same photo and I can't tell you how great that is. We fish a lot together and I have had some fantastic trips with him so you won't be able to see or feel that but the photo recalls it quietly, for me.
I'm a small lakes kinda fisherman so my boat in all its fourteen foot glory makes the lake seem immense, the shoreline so distant and portrays me as a great North American walleye fisherman encapsulated in mysterious water. So if I never told anyone, it's but a hundred acre lake tucked off a gravel graded road. But once again the photo is silent.
My beard stubble reminds me I was there over three glorious days. The red face is not sunburn, but wind burn. It was the Minnesota opener and we do not do much sunbathing in northern Minnesota on the opener. The photo has no small date on the printed image or time. Another well kept secret if I do not want to let that cat out of the bag.
So the picture reminds me not only of a stringer of fish you may happen by and see, it also shows the friendship, weather and water. Its really one of an insignificant number of the millions of photos developed, but its mine, about me.
So as I said earlier this photo answers it for me. For me life is not a question. Life is an answer, and you just need to be opened minded with the questions that come your way. The photo says all kinds of things to me and possibly nothing to you. But if you show up at my desk, sure as shooting I'm going to hold it up and see what it says to you. If it doesn't answer I will just fill in some details for you if that's all right.
The trout whisperer
My daughter has in her hands a nine foot five weight fly rod for the first time ever. She is twelve. We're on the Iron River in northern Wisconsin trout fishing. I'm offering many pertinent points on how to fly fish. "Dad I got it". She does not want any more pointers from me for the rest of today. So I just coach like I'm talking to myself about keeping the back cast up, don't forget the ten and two o'clock position. "YEAH Dad"!
As her fly hits the water she casts a glance at me and then back at the rivers surface. I say, "it's a good idea to watch the strike indicator instead of me", so she will not miss quick hitting fish. "Watch for the fish to hit, okay? "Concentrate on the casting and the fishing okay? "Dad if you stop talking I could". So in my fatherly head I think, "I hope a fish hits" that will teach her.
The rod silences me as it snaps taught. Even Gods on her side. The arc is telling and she responds by raising the rod. Now she is playing the fish by just holding on. Talk about a burst of upstream questions. I reel up and drop my rod on shore as I come in behind her. She asks "what do I do"? Feather the line through your fingers as the fish lunges". "Honey back away to the shore for more solid footing but keep the line tight".
This is not a moment of just my little girl. The fish has its own ideas and me as well. The fish rips upstream and goes deep. The rod almost lays parallel to the water. I bark to quickly, "lift the tip", she responds slower than I'd like but she gets the angle back on the fish.
"Dad will I get this fish"? "Should I stay right here"? "Where's the net"?
"Honey hold on now". "The fish will start to run, when it does you need to slip line back through the guides fast and keep the tension on". "Use your fingers to pinch the line with your reel hand against the rod grip if you have to, ok"? "When the fish comes at you, just let the slack loops fall but don't trip on it okay"? "The trout's running again, move up shore, watch your step, and keep the tip up honey". She does not argue, she reacts.
The fish about butts and it's off on a downstream run. The rod swings in a three plane twist and she is being rod run led by the unseen. "Stay with the fish Kass, just shuffle down stream and keep it tight, keep it tight honey". The reel drag speaks and she looks at me and I go full dad on her. "Watch the fish honey, watch the fish".
Half way to the trout it reverses direction again, now its running back upstream. "Kass strip in line fast". "Lift the rod way back over your head". My little girl looks like she's whipping a rodeo whip that's stuck on a fence post spike, but she's into her fish solid. Too much rod, to short a daughter, so I grab line and get the rod back under her control. The fish has the river for leverage, Kass has me.
The rod pumps, little rips and then she gains line. She's winning. I take my net off my back and move in to the river from her downstream side. "Don't tow the fish Kass, just keep it snug honey". We both see the brown trout at the same time. The tail comes into the net and I scoop with a forward thrust.
Dotted spotted and the color of butter is her summer brown trout. "Dad I want to let it go". "Can I congratulate you first"?
See this is where I know her mother, who died when Kass was almost four years old still has something to do with her parenting. Me that's meat. I'm into catch and release to the skillet. But from my own mouth comes "sure honey, it's your fish". "Thanks dad". Well today both the girls, one here next to me, and one above, have gotten the last word once again.
Trout Whisperer
Case in point!
When you can scan the flat page (topo map) and project yourself walking up a contoured slope of 20 percent, while maintaining you're bearing of north- northeast for over thirteen hundred feet of horizontal distance and 80 ft vertical gain in elevation, then arrive at the fingered draw you pre-selected for a possible glassing area on an elk hunt, you have taken a one dimensional drawing, mentally converted to three-d and opened the chest.
This analogy is not unlike looking through a window pane in contrast with reaching into a stream for a dropped lure. Both views are clear at the onset, but one is distorted when you move to act within the water's surface. That's the conscious act of using a map instead of looking at a map.
Maps are flat for a variety of reasons. They fold. They copy well. Often, very inexpensive. Reusable with proper folding technique and waterproofing. But they are drawn to offer pieces of the puzzle if you will. You very seldom use the entire map all at once. You break it down in bits and pieces just to get to one lake, out of a page of lakes as an example.
Some basic map terms are helpful. At the top of list, with a topo map in my opinion is the word relief.
Then in my descending order:
Some notes with respect to maps.
Topo maps without a compass are like a gun without the bullet. Topo Maps are in most cases drawn with a north seeking arrow. It helps a bunch to know where north is. When you get the north map arrow pointing as the compass needle you have the ground under your feet aligned with page. (Orientating the map)
One map legend may sketch out an inch to the mile, (map scale) or any other increment you can imagine. Read the legend.
I have only seen maps made by humans, with one exception. The physical stars never lie. Humans make mistakes.
When I went to the survey academy in the United States Army I had one of those eyes wide open experiences. My survey section had a night drop, if you will. No maps, no compass and get yourself back to assembly area. Thank God for stars.
Handheld GPS units are as good as the batteries and I own several. LEARN TO USE A COMPASS, AND YOU WILL LEARN TO TRUST A COMPASS.
Practice with a map in a familiar area in daylight and darkness. Get out on lake. The boat over water really changes your concept of distance with respect to time. Foot travel or navigating with all terrain vehicles will tune your ability to see the forest for the trees. Walking your going to see each tree if you want. By increasing the speed at which you cross terrain you learn to watch for more significant features like a stream crossing for example. Practice with someone.
I have never been lost.
I have always been somewhere on the planet earth. This is reassuring to me when everything around me is suddenly unfamiliar. I had a smart aleck deer take me on a wild goose chase that ended with me turned inside out and almost upside down. No wisdom or woods lore saved me. No saintly vision intervened. The moss was green on all sides of the trees. I walked for a long time catching the faintest growling of a distant chainsaw. That guy allowed me the privilege of loading his trailer with firewood. He then gave me a ride atop his tractor towed load and finally shuttled me via his pick-up truck back to my blazer. I was really close to three miles from my starting point. Deer adrenaline completely dosed me and I lost all track of my position. It happened slowly.
I had a great map and compass that I simply stopped paying attention to. You can't use a map part of the time. You have to use the map and compass in harmony.
Learning to use a map is different than owning a map or looking at a map. Learning to use a map is apples. When you put the map and compass together it's apple pie.
'Til Next Time,
The Trout Whisperer

Berlin's Technik Museum Is Topped with a Historic Candy Bomber Plane
Posted By Ana Lisa On May 23, 2012 @ 2:40 pm In Architecture,Renewable Energy | No Comments
The Technik Museum's new building was completed in 2000 and has a total usable area of 215,000 square foot. It was mainly constructed from steel-composite structure and was designed to be extremely energy-efficient, optimizing daylight. It has no air conditioning and its dynamic facade [6] allows for solar, glare, and light control.
The exhibition area covers 130,000 square foot and contains a library, shops, restaurants and plenty of aviation and navigation vehicles. Currently showing an exhibition called 'Wind Strength' [7], the museum is featuring a 145-foot high rotor blade at its entryway which portrays the impressive proportions of wind turbines. The large museum park boasts wind and water mills that are a natural oasis for learning an experiencing technology in Berlin.
With daily demonstrations, tours and interactive workshops, the German Museum of Technology [8] offers an entertaining day out. Although the highlight of the building is not inside, but outside. The Rosinenbomber, or 'Candy Bomber [9]', plane rests at the museum's roof and is famous for once being used by a pilot to deliver sweets to Berlin's children below.

Giving a Hand to Our Helping Hands!
By Kathy Urban, AFTD Volunteer
Information technology employs the quiet masterminds of businesses and organizations, although they often go unnoticed. These highly skilled professionals are invaluable to their organizations since they bring numerous, highly specialized skills and knowledge to the table.
David Driggers began volunteering with the AFTD in July 2014 and has been able to successfully combine his passion and expertise. David is contributing to AFTD's mission with his skills and drive for searching for hard to find medical information, using his technology experience in the fields of health and science. Years ago, David was diagnosed with a rare disease called Spasmodic Dysphonia, a neurological voice disorder. He turned this diagnosis into his livelihood by starting a medical information retrieval business, in which he would help his clients by customizing in-depth research reports for their medical conditions. He specialized in rare diseases and chronic disorders.
David currently works with AFTD's Scientific Director, Nadine Tatton, to track the results of the AFTD funded Pilot Grants that date back to 2005. His work is so complex, it's best explained in his own words, "I have been capturing awardee outcomes such as the number of FTD focused publications that came as a result of AFTD's direct funding, follow-on funding from the NIH [National Institutes of Health] or other agencies, grant data presented at meetings, FTD consortia collaborations, and patent applications." David uses databases such as PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov and the NIH RePORTER to collect information that will be entered into AFTD's customer relationship management database.
David's mother lost her battle with FTD in 2010. "We laughed and cried throughout the crazy and unpredictable behaviors the disease brought," David says. "We were blessed that she retained her loving nature throughout the course of the disease and recognized family until her passing." David's mother donated her brain for research to the Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville, FL), revealing that a strong belief in the power of research definitely runs in the family.
By lending his expertise to the AFTD's need for specialized data mining, David has been a tremendous asset to the AFTD's mission. Everyone brings unique talents as volunteers, and the opportunities are limitless.

I am quite pleased with this product. I put it in a 2013 Elantra with the navigation and built in amp. It worked great. I just placed it in line between the stock amp and the speakers. I left the tweeters alone, my 5 channel would have blown them, and have it running running to my amp, then to the stock internals and a 10' W3. I could not be happier.
The car lowers the volume to the rear speakers and speaks the navigation voice comes on through the fronts. I was worried this would for some reason cause a problem but it was fine. I was also worried that the car had the bass roll-off, but it did not. I cut the wires between the stock amp and the speakers, ran extension wires to this unit for the front and rear speakers wires coming out of the stock amp, bridged the audio (using this product) from the rear speakers to the sub channel, then ran the RCAs to the 5 channel amp for both the front, rear, and subs, wired the sub in the box, ran speaker wires from the amp output 4 channels back to the respective stock speaker wires that I cut originally. Then I played with the setting until I got them sound perfect.
I was really intimidated (brand new car and all) and I have been putting systems in cars for the last 12 years.
Just for God's sake... Label both sides of every wire (in between where you cut and on each end of your extension wires) or you will have an overwhelming mess on your hands!

The sign says it's closing Sept. 18, but the welcome mat is still out at Banner Mesa Medical Center.
Nearly every service — from obstetrics to oncology — will remain up and running until the 47-year-old hospital in northwest Mesa closes its doors and the new Banner Gateway Medical Center at U.S. 60 and Higley Road in Gilbert opens for business simultaneously.
State regulations, and good patient relations, dictate that Banner Mesa stay open until the bitter end. Licensed as a full-service hospital, the facility could jeopardize its standing if it offered anything less.
"We'll be delivering babies up until the day we move," said hospital spokeswoman Susan Gordon. "We're not stopping any type of care."
There will be some changes as the date gets closer, however. And as news spreads of its impending closure, the hospital already is running at less than 50 percent capacity with 66 patients there Friday.
Patients who receive ongoing care for chronic health conditions likely will go to Banner Desert Medical Center in southwest Mesa or Banner Baywood Medical Center in northeast Mesa for treatment during the move, said Dr. Marjorie Bessel, chief medical officer for Banner Mesa and Banner Gateway.
Banner Mesa's eight operating rooms will phase down to two or three as the closing date nears, with elective surgeries postponed or moved to one of the sister hospitals. Any X-rays or other procedures that span several days also will be delayed so that they can be done, start to finish, at one location.
Those who remain in the hospital Sept. 18 will be taken by Southwest Ambulance to the new facility, though a few may be transferred elsewhere, depending on their medical condition and their preference.
"We've been totally involved from day one about how current patients will get transferred," said Josh Weiss, spokesman for Southwest Ambulance. "We've got the staffs in place. We've got the ambulances in place. We're ready to go."
No one can be sure how many patients will be left in the old hospital Sept. 18, but 50 is the working estimate. Weiss said some likely will need specialized ambulances with respirators, IVs and nurses.
On Sept. 18, both Banner Mesa and Banner Gateway emergency departments will be open. But Bessel said patients who walk in to Banner Mesa on Sept. 17 or 18 will be transferred to Gateway or another Banner facility if it appears they need to be admitted.
"The emergency department is the front door to the hospital for most patients," she said. "We're not discouraging any patients from seeking emergency care if that's what they need."
Banner Mesa has canvassed the neighborhood by mail, met with doctors and other health care providers and talked with patients in hope that everyone knows what's coming.
The fliers feature a map showing three hospitals — Banner Desert, Banner Gateway and Banner Baywood — noting that many around Banner Mesa may find it more convenient to switch to the Desert and Baywood facilities.
Banner Health announced in 2005 that it would close its oldest hospital to avoid massive renovation costs, estimated at $138 million, and open a new facility in Gilbert to serve the booming southeast Valley.
The $207 million, 176-bed Banner Gateway will be run by the same staff from Banner Mesa, including top administrators, though it remains to be seen how many patients will follow.
"There are a lot of people who have ties to Banner Mesa," Bessel said. "The care really has to do with the people, and the people will be the same at Banner Gateway."

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

The phrase "there is nothing more we can do" has been spoken by all of the docs and so Franks dad is going into hospice today. So he is going home to live out his days. The family has had the weekend to come to terms with this and it is Vals choice. My wish is for his comfort. Please continue to keep him and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank You |
Follow-Up Postings:
As you know, coping with being in hospice care can be emotionally challenging for the one in hospice as well as family members. Preparing for the end of life brings a plethora of emotions; I learned the importance of listening when the loved one wants to talk. I'll be thinking of you often. |
Aw, Susie, so sorry to hear this. I'm sure Dad gets a lot of comfort knowing that his son has such a wonderful family in you and the kids. We are never ready to say goodbye to our parents. Hugs. |
Oh dear, I was hoping that your FB post wasn't about Frank's dad. I can tell you from personal experience that hospice is a blessing. They can relieve his pain and provide comfort and support for the patient as well as the family. He looks like a sweetheart, I'm so sorry that there's nothing else to be done. Ditto what Cathy said, listen and write it down! I so wish I had paid more attention to all that was being shared. Hugs, |
Ask all your questions now, for there won't be time later :-( We didn't get as far as hospice with DH's dad, he went into hospital not feeling all that chipper and ten days later he had passed :-( Hugs and strength to all. |
Thanks! Hes actually doing really good today. His pain is low and hes eating really well. I didnt go today but I hear hes in good spirits and very alert. I suspected he would improve a bit once he was in his own home! I made a turkey breast and some turkey soup to take with me tomorrow...Ill stop off for some groceries for them. Ive actually been to my own docs the past few days...my back is acting up. Now they want me to see a cardiologist...I was born with a heart defect and its been years since ive been so best to have it looked at. I dont have the heart to tell Frank about my back or that I have to see a cardio....hes just so unstable right now. 2014 is starting out simply aweful! Susie |
Aw, Susie, I'm sorry to hear about your FIL, and about your back. Hospice was wonderful with Elery's Dad, they were a blessing to us and to him. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Annie |
I'm so sorry this is happening, Susie, but I have had experience with Hospice care for my mother, and it is truly a blessing. Take advantage of all they offer that's suits your needs. That's what they're there for. Sally |
Susie, I'm sorry to hear about your FIL. A lot to deal with especially if you are having medical problems. Take care of yourself too. ~Ann |
Susie, you have been looking to healthy lately with the huge weight loss and exercise regime. I can understand why your back might be hurting (exercise, work, snow, stress) but I think your heart would be healthier than ever. But, as you say, best to have it checked. Hope your FIL is comfortable and things continue to go as well as possible for him. He's lucky to have his family around him. |
Pam, As a child, I had a murmer. Went thru years of hospital stays, tests, misdiagnosis ect. Finally at age 11 I saw a Doc from Deborah who finally diagnosed it as innocent...go live your life yadda yadda yadda. As an adult I never really gave it a thought. Dr Lou kept his eye on it with occasional ekgs. Now Im in the process of picking new docs here in south jersey. Because they dont really know me, they want to be sure. The doc says my murmer sounds ok but very strong. So lets just get tested and be sure.Prob best to have a cardio doc on board as I get older. Now the back...ahh so many issues! Of course the fitness plan and gym time takes its toll but My goal is to strengthen my body in order to compensate for my spinal issues. Because of my weight loss, my lower spine and tailbone, which was once protected by fat, its irritated when I sit. Rising from a seated position is agonizing so I dont sit much! Ill be seeing an ortho in April to see if there is any option. I also have disc spurs to deal with ugh! Most likely have to see a pain management doc into the future. It sux! But I still keep going! In fact Im heading to the gym now for a workout before I head over to Pa to sit with Val for awhile. Val had 2 good days, yesterday he slept all day. Mom is doing as good as expected. Frank has the option to take some family leave which he may do very soon. The whole situation is sad. Thank you all for your prayers! |
Susie, hugs and prayers for you all. Tami |

My 18 Month Old Little Big Boy
When I look at your smiling face, I see sunshine, happiness and love. Cheesy sounding I know, but it's much different than your expressions as a baby where you weren't too happy a lot of the time. I'm happy to find that it was a phase. You're turning 19 months tomorrow. How did that happen? How did you get to be a little big boy? I cherish your hugs and hearing you say, "MA-MA" which has been your favorite word for a few months now. LOVE that! What else are doing now?
- I love seeing your little signs. It's so cute seeing you put your fingers to your mouth to signal that you're hungry (which is A LOT.) You're other favorite sign is "more" and you even know please.
- You LOVE to eat. It's your favorite activity after chasing after your sister and playing outside. You're great with your fork and spoon and you've bringing drinking out of glasses for a few months (and prefer it.) You're neat like your daddy. You often bring your plate to me when you're done without even asking. You know to sit down right when we come in the door to take your shoes off.
- Obviously you like to do everything your sister does which is how you got to where you are with your table skills. You love copying her every move from climbing the side of the stairs to playing tea party. If she eats in her little chair, you want to eat at yours. If she gets an ice cream, you're right behind her in line waiting for yours. Like her, you love getting excited about things and are so happy to feed off other's happiness. You guys are two peas in a pod.
- You love to get last snuggles and a rock with mama before bed. Your sweet sissy comes in and sings you a sweet lullaby usually to the tune of, "Rock-a-bye Reidie in the tree top…and then makes up a bunch of words."
- Your favorite book hands down is brown bear, brown bear. You can't get enough. You're actually pretty content with books. Close seconds are DOGS and MOO. You love grabbing a book and bringing it over and plopping on my or dada's lap.
- Your favorite animals are our cat Lucy – you pet her so gently and get all excited when you see her; any dog – you can hardly stand still waiting for them to be close enough to pet; and ducks. You love saying "quack, quack".
- First thing the in morning you're usually screaming "Mama" from your crib. I pick you up, we go downstairs and you scream when I put you down because you want breakfast ASAP! I have basically three minutes to get whatever I can find on your plate. You usually have three breakfasts. Two helpings and then another when Elle finally wakes up and comes down for breakfast.
- You LOVE going outside. You don't even have to go anywhere. Just being outside makes your soul smile. You can just tell. It does help to take you for a stroll though. You're eager to ride a bike like your sister and it won't be long. You're now running and can even jump a little bit. It's so cute!
- You make little sounds with your toys. You love to say, "choo choo" with your train or brrrrrrrr with airplanes or cars.
- Your sissy is so proud you are her baby brother. She tells everyone we meet, "This is my baby brother" or "I have a baby brother." She gives you big hugs and loves to climb in your crib with you. You don't sleep too well with her in there though. She loves to play chase with you and she loves doing things big sisters do like telling you names of things to learn and putting mommy's lipstick on you. And she loves dressing you up!
- Most people thing you are a girl. With you pretty blonde curls and southern shortalls who can blame them? Or maybe it's just too cute to be a boy? Whatever the reason, I quickly correct them and feel my heart swell that you're my little boy.
- I love picking you up from your crib in the morning or from your nap. You always have a big, sleepy look on your face with your hair crazy sticking up in all directions with curls at the back. I pick you up, give you a squeeze and you set me on course for our mission: usually downstairs and food.
You're doing so many new things every day. Daddy, Elle and I are so thankful and grateful you are in our family. We are excited to see what's to come!

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) - Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will be hosting a real-time question and answer session on Facebook.
Clinton will be taking questions during her visit at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters Monday afternoon to promote her best-selling book "Hard Choices," and will likely be asked if she's considering another shot at becoming president.
Clinton's appearance comes after she said in an interview with TV host Charlie Rose last week that if she decides to run in 2016 she will have "a very specific agenda."
Clinton says she does not want to decide until after she becomes a grandmother later this year.
The former first lady leads Democratic presidential primary polls by wide margins but has not yet decided whether she will make another run for the White House.

Clare And The Reasons are listed as being Chinese Traditional music on their MySpace profile, but they are not Chinese nor Traditional. What they are is a Brooklyn based band fronted by Clare Manchon who is releasing its second album, Arrow, on October 20th.
The first initial notes off of Arrow are sweet in such a way as to fool listeners into settling in for what they think may be a placid ride into musical dreamland. That doesn't last for long. Five minutes into the album and it's clear that the songs contain a wealth of depth underneath that candy-coated shell. I caught the first hint of this just reading the liner notes. 'Oh wow, there are kazoos on this album,' I said to myself. And we all know that kazoos mean business.
Lyrically, the songs on Arrow are very life affirming, such as those on the track 'You Got Time,' where Manchon sings, 'you got time to turn around and make things right.' The singer's voice is comfortingly serene as she sings this, and brings to mind a timeless mix of Kate Bush and Bernadette Peters. I know it's been awhile since Bernadette Peters was mentioned in a CD review, but while listening to this song I kept getting images in my head of that scene from the movie, 'The Jerk,' where she and Steve Martin were singing on a river bank or something. The next special treat on this album is the band's cover of the Genesis song, 'That's All.' The song's heart is a combination of wind instruments and politely assertive violin that sounds like a finger waving in your face.
Winding down the end of Arrow is Perdue A Paris, which is sung in French and has all the makings of a fancy date; rhythm, mystery and marching band drums. The mystery is put in there because I have no idea what they're singing about.
All in all, Manchon's lyrics and vocal Zen; shaking hands with the man voices added by band mates Bob Hart and Oliver Manchon, and let's not forget the kazoo; leave you with a what more could you ask for experience.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffFor a first review this is fine, just add much more description of the album as a whole instead of doing a track-by-track format, and just a bit more substance in general. Also, what's with skipping When the Sun Rose Again??
album is awesome. Bro this isn't bad, as romgsom said just avoid the track by track and discuss the album as a whole. Check out some other reviews if you're unsure of how to do so.
Album Rating: 4.0Private Hell is by far the best song on here. Good album.
Digging: Restorations - LP3
Album Rating: 3.5My bad on missing When the Sun Rose Again...it's a strong song for sure. I just got hung up on listening to Private Hell and was eager to give it props. Those middle 3 songs are the weak link, though. Thanks for the advice on how to write a review.
This album probably deserved greater analysis. I think Acid Bubble and Lesson Learned are great though. Lesson Learned reminds me fondly of Degradation Trip.

MISSOULA — On Day 11 of her campaign for the U.S. Senate, Amanda Curtis released a six-point plan to improve education for students.
The Democrat and high school math teacher greeted former students and shared the most notable moment on the road so far — her time in Indian Country.
And the state representative from Butte continued to spread the message that she is the ordinary person Montana voters have wanted to send to Washington, D.C., for a long time. She smiled and smiled, even through the long interruption of bells pealing during her speech on the University of Montana campus.
"I feel like I'm in school, and the announcements keep coming in," Curtis said. "I'm taking it like a good luck charm, that we've got music behind our speech today."
Montana Democrats nominated the freshman lawmaker to take on U.S. Rep. Steve Daines in the race for the U.S. Senate seat. U.S. Sen. John Walsh, a Democrat, bowed out of the race after a New York Times article showed the veteran plagiarized his final paper for the United States Army War College.
In her talk, Curtis continued to stress her humble beginnings and her middle class status, and she made appeals to students, Native Americans, military veterans and the estimated 139,000 Montanans with student loan debt. She noted Montana students graduate with an average debt of $27,475, putting the national college debt at $1.2 trillion.
"Today, rising student loan debt has become an economic crisis, deterring our young people from going to college and saddling graduates with insurmountable debt," Curtis said.
At the event, UM student Topher Williams praised Curtis for being a member of the working class, and he laid blame at the feet of Daines for the economic trouble students experience. If students feel disenfranchised, he said, it's because Daines has voted to cut Pell grants and increase interest rates on student loans.
"Now it's our chance to send a Montanan (to Washington, D.C.,) who understands what it's like to be in our shoes, who understands what it's like to work through college, and understands what it's like to be a working Montanan," Williams said.
Daines is a Bozeman entrepreneur and clear favorite in the race, and Republicans see the seat in Montana as one they can pick up to help secure control of the U.S. Senate. In response to the criticisms, candidate spokeswoman Alee Lockman said Daines is a father of four who knows the importance of quality schooling, and he understands the rising cost of college makes it difficult for students to pursue higher education.
"That's why Steve joined both Montana senators in voting for legislation to remove the threat of doubling interest rates on student loans and provide a sustainable, long-term solution to student loan interest rates," Lockman said.
She also stressed Daines is fighting to grow the economy so small businesses can create jobs and Montana students can stay here and work after graduation.
The seat Curtis wants is the one Democrat and longtime U.S Sen. Max Baucus held before being tapped as the U.S. ambassador to China. A political power shift hangs in the balance in Washington, so the leap Curtis took from the classroom to the campaign trail thrust her onto the national stage almost overnight.
At the event, she faced a wall of video cameras and smattering of students and other audience members, and she spoke over a quiet but persistent video battle that played out right in front of her.
Brian O'Leary, with America Rising, continually adjusted and lifted a camera to try to film Curtis, and Andrea Marcoccio, head of the Montana Democratic Party, squared off with him step for step, pushing up a posterboard to try to block the conservative political action videographer from taking footage.
"When any Montanan imagines what it would feel like, they're probably exactly right," Curtis said of launching into the spotlight. "It's hard to put into words, but one thing that's prepared me very well is being a teacher."
Teachers make more decisions before the first bell rings than many other professionals make in the course of an entire day or even a week, and they do it with little resources, she said. She is the clear underdog, but Curtis said she's aiming for a win, and she believes Montanans of all political stripes are ready for her victory.
"They're hoping for this," Curtis said of her election. "Democrats, Republicans, and Independents have been wanting a voice in this democracy and feeling under-represented."
At the campaign event, Curtis fielded questions from UM students, media and others, and she heard comments from a mostly friendly audience. She shook the hands of children, and she hugged at least one of her own former high school students, Tiffanie Taylor.
Taylor, who studied algebra under Curtis in a "rough" alternative school, is studying sociology and psychology at UM. She said unlike some of her other high school instructors, Curtis was open and welcoming, and the political newcomer has her vote.
"I wish her the best of luck. She made a huge impact on me when I was in high school," Taylor said.
If Curtis proves the political pundits wrong, she'll have an impact on Taylor and other college students with her plan to bolster access to higher education. She shared the highlights in her speech:
Push for legislation that would allow students who have outstanding student loan debt to refinance at a fixed rate of 4 percent.
Preserve and expand access to the Pell Grant program for low-income students. Establish an automatic cost-of-living adjustment to the maximum grant.
Invest in career and technical education programs.
To prevent default on student loans, shepherd legislation that would provide students with annual counseling under the federal loan program.
Protect student loans for military veterans and expand tuition assistance for them.
Invest in education on Montana's reservations.
"Nothing has been more memorable than my time spent in Indian Country listening to the unique Native American perspective on issues that face all of us," Curtis said.

Named for the cowboys of the Great Basin and California, the Buckaroo from Bullhide by Montecarlo is a long-standing style with a classic design and a hint of modernization. The Buckaroo is a sharp looking hat with a two tone hat band with barbed concho details. A comfort sweatband allows for all day wear. The look is finished with a classy three piece buckle set at the profile.
I am really impressed with this hat. Great quality!
If your looking for a unique one of a kind hat, that is cutting edge, Monte Carlo Hats is the brand for you. Along with their fabulous Bullhide hat collection, they also produce a line of fashion forward leather jackets, Ruidoso brand. All of their products combine western flair and urban style to create a look that's uniquely Monte Carlo. Bullhide carries the exclusive Terri Clark line and Justin Moore line for true country music fans. Sons Samir and Jorge Cury have carried on their father's tradition of master craftsmanship, quality, and detailing to today's younger generation of hat enthusiasts. Their up-to-the-minute designs integrate the original techniques passed down by past Hatters dating back to 1949. Special attention is put into each hat to insure distinctive design, value, fit, and finish. Every Bullhide hat body has a hand dipped coating applied to it. The result is a finish that is hard-wearing, water-repellant and easily cleaned. Some companies run their hats through air-dryers, not Monte Carlo. Each hat is air dried, which takes a little longer but allows for a uniform curing of the stiffener. This prevents flaking and cracking. Then hats are blocked using a combination of pressure, heat, and of course care, giving each hat its final form and size. After trimming to the proper brim length and adding shapeable wires, each hat receives its exclusive finish. Bullhide by Montecarlo hats are finished by hand which produces a unique look. Slight variations may occur due to material availability and their hand airbrushing method. Each item must pass their stringent quality control inspections.

HO! HO! HO! Elfowicz here (that's my Christmas persona) to deliver some good news. In honor of the impending, almost holiday season, Trojan condoms conducted a poll to find out what kind of cheer co-workers were spreading at their company Christmas parties. (Yes, cheer meaning SEX.) Since yours should be happening this week or next (unless your company is cheap and they are skipping the festivities this year –those jerks!), I thought you'd like to know that wearing an ugly Christmas sweater might not exclude you from getting some sugar under the mistletoe (or in the supply closet). Keep reading »
Tragedy struck Manhattan yesterday when city officials shut down a vibrator giveaway sponsored by Trojan. The condom company planned to give out 10,000 of their new vibes from pushcarts at three tourist-heavy locations: Rockefeller Center, South Street Seaport, and the Flatiron District, which is near The Frisky's offices. New Yorkers congregated f0r free $40 Trojan Tri-Phoria vibes (two thumbs up, says I!) or a free $30 Trojan Pulse. Yet less than an hour into the event, an unnamed city official pooh-poohed the crowds and told Trojan's Pleasure Carts to pack up and go home.
Horny area woman Linda Postell was irate about the shutdown, huffing to The New York Post, "I'm 57-years-old. I should be able to get a vibrator! I have a problem with the smoking ban and the soda ban — and now this!" Keep reading »
Honestly, I was just kind of looking for an excuse to use the word inclement — one of my favorites — and this study seemed like the perfect vehicle. But also, it contains important findings about inclement weather and how it makes people horny. Research done by Trojan found that about 70 percent of Americans had done it during a tornado, thunderstorm or hurricane. You know what that means, kids. Along with the candles, bottled water and canned beans, you'd best be adding some [Trojan] condoms to your emergency survival kit because you'll need to be prepared to entertain yourself while locked in the storm cellar. If only I had someone, besides my television, to keep me company during Hurricane Irene. Oh well, there will be other storms in my future I suppose. [CBS Tampa]
This column originally appeared on The Frisky on December 24, 2008.
Trojan condoms report their highest sales of the year take place in the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Researchers attribute this spike to holiday downtime, New Year's resolutions to get knocked up, and booze-fueled Yuletide revelry. It seems counter-intuitive, and almost profane, that a holiday most associated with innocence and children would also be a holiday of steamy boot-knocking. But I suspect it has something to do with my favorite Christmas movie. And my favorite Christmas movie isn't even a Christmas movie. Keep reading »
For years, adult toy makers have been unable to sell their wares on TV commercials, but a new ad from Trojan featuring the company's Tri-Phoria vibrator has made it on TV — by not saying the word "vibrator." Instead, the unseen, boxed tool is referred to as "three massagers in one" that may result in "screams of ecstasy, curled toes, a sudden glow, and intense waves of pleasure." The commercial doesn't run only in the wee hours either, but, for example, during the day and early evening on Comedy Central during "The Daily Show." Some — surely, sex toy sellers among them — may see the ad as "progress," but it seems silly that in this day and age a vibrator is still taboo. Hey, it's just a "personal massager." [NY Times]

Announcing Outside In, The Latest Book From Forrester And The Topic Of Our Upcoming Forum In New York
Posted by Harley Manning on May 22, 2012
Since October, I've been heads down on a big project. We're all delighted that the project is now at a point where we can talk about it publicly.
It's Forrester's next book, titled Outside In: The Power of Putting Customers at the Center of Your Business. You'll be hearing a lot about it in the coming weeks, both from me and from my co-author Kerry Bodine. And if you want to see what the cover looks like, it's already online here and here.
Although the book won't be available to the general public until August 28th, attendees of our Customer Experience Forum at the end of June will get digital copies of the manuscript. They'll also hear keynote speeches from some of the people who appear in the book, like Kevin Peters, the president of Office Depot North America; Laura Evans, chief experience officer at The Washington Post; and Laurie Tucker, senior vice president of corporate marketing at FedEx.
If you'd like to get a preview of some of the concepts in the book, check out the video below — and then stay tuned for more announcements!
The book!
Congratulations Harley, Really looking forward to the book and the forum.
Paul! You are right! I agree
Paul! You are right! I agree with you....

Damian's "picky" food preferences don't allow for much expedition-meal variety. Willie has an annoying habit of removing the insoles from every pair of climbing shoeswhich he shares with Damianand losing them. But the differences end there. Identical twins, born 38 years ago in Argentina, the Benegas brothers live together in Salt Lake City and have completed more than 120 climbing expeditions as a team. "We do fight," admits Willie. "But we make up in ten minutes and go climbing." BIG MOMENT: Putting up the Crystal Snake, a 42-pitch, mixed ice and rock climb on the north face of Nepal's 25,790-foot Nuptse, in 2003. ROLE PLAY: "I'm the minimalist, and Damian's the gear monkey," says Willie. Responds Damian, "I'm better on hard-grade sport climbs, but he has more control over fear." YOUNG AND RESTLESS: "We grew up in a fishing village on Patagonia's Peninsula Valdés," says Willie. "When we were 12, we crossed the 40-mile-wide Golfo Nuevo in a homemade raft. We hiked five days to get home. Our mom was so mad she chased us with a broom." UP NEXT: Damian is off to Nepal and Tibet, to ski Cho Oyu, while Willie is considering his options. As Damian puts it, "We do everything to the max."
