Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Consumers buy new, cheaper cameras instead of fixing existing ones
The relentless shift to cheaper, throw-away consumer products has driven a stake through the heart of one of Winnipeg's last few camera repair shops.
Precision Camera Repair Ltd. is closing its Sherbrook Street store early next month after more than 25 years in business.
"You can blame Walmart for putting so much pressure on (camera) manufacturers to bring prices down," owner Victor Martens said Tuesday in his half-empty shop at 70 Sherbrook St.
Martens said not only did it drive down the price of popular point-and-shoot cameras so it's cheaper to replace them than to fix them, it also forced manufacturers to do their own warranty repairs rather than farm it out to independent repair shops such as Precision.
"That's when things started to turn," he said.
Precision's pending demise will leave only one independent camera repair shop -- Computech Camera Repair -- still standing. And coincidentally, it's located only about a block down the street, at 119 Sherbrook St.
Computech owner Ron Bart admitted he was shocked when Martens called him last week to say he was packing it in.
But he probably shouldn't have been surprised.
Bart said camera repair shops have been dropping like flies all across the country in recent years.
He said when Precision closes, Computech will be the last camera-repair shop between Toronto and Vancouver.
That's bad news for local camera owners and camera stores such as Don's Photo, which sends all of its non-warranty repair work to either Precision or Computech.
"It's going to leave us with one fewer option," said Damian Bilinsky, Don's manager of information and communication.
And it's also going mean longer waits for the repair work to get done.
"We're lucky we still have Computech here," Bilinsky said, "because if we didn't, we'd have to ship everything out of province."
Bart said Computech will survive because it's already picking up some of Precision's business.
He's also reduced his staff to three from 11 in the last five years to reduce his operating costs.
"We've leaned out and we're more efficient."
Another recent, but encouraging trend, is that camera prices have dropped to the point where more consumers can afford to buy better quality cameras, he said.
For example, a digital single lens reflex camera that used to cost $1,500 can now be had for as little as $500 to $600, and Bart said those cameras are worth repairing.
Unfortunately, that's too little too late for Martens, who also drastically reduced his staff and diversified into other kinds of repair work. But it wasn't enough.
Martens said the decision to pull the plug didn't come easy.
He was still in high school when he got a summer job 25 years ago with Precision.
That turned into a full-time technician's job, and when the owner retired 16 years ago, he bought the company from him.
"It's something that's been in my blood forever," he said, "but the problem is you have to feed your family."
He said he and his wife Christy plan to open a door and window store -- Access Window & Door Design Centre -- at the same location. They'd been selling the products part-time for the last two or three years, and see the potential to turn it into a full-time business.
"This (the decision to close Precision) will create the time and the place for that to now happen," Martens said.
"I will definitely miss (repairing cameras)," he added. "But I won't regret leaving it, I don't think."

Kansas oil, gas producers key to reducing dependence on foreign resources
KIOGA Convention 2011
Energy, Oil & Gas Quarterly
- Josh Heck
Oil production in Kansas is rising, and the state has a role to play in ensuring the energy security of the nation, oil executives say.
The state is already a key player on the national petroleum industry stage.
"Kansas is one of the top 10 oil and gas producing states in the nation," says David Loger, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Lario Oil & Gas Co. in Wichita. "It contributes significantly to the domestic supply."
Many in politics talk about the need for the nation to achieve "energy independence." But while the state can help reduce America's reliance on foreign oil, the nation is unlikely to produce all the oil it needs.
"Cutting ourselves off from global energy markets is not realistic," said Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association, in a recent speech in Wellington. "However, if the goal of energy independence is understood differently, then it is much more useful. We should define energy independence to be energy security."
The goal, say Cross and others, should be for Kansas to help the nation increase its energy resiliency and reduce its vulnerability.
Increased production in Kansas can play in role in that.
"Any production that comes out of Kansas is money that stays here," says Rex Buchanan, interim executive director of the Kansas Geological Survey. "Any energy produced in this state is in everyone's best interest."
Oil production is rising in the state, which produced 40.5 million barrels in 2010, up from 39.5 million barrels in 2009.
Production quantities should keep rising thanks to new exploration and techniques.

Nonlinear diffusion filtering of images obtained by planar laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy
JOSA A, Vol. 17, Issue 12, pp. 2148-2156 (2000)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (693 KB)
The application of nonlinear anisotropic diffusion filtering to reduce noise and enhance contours in images obtained by two-dimensional planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) spectroscopy is presented. In this process the diffusion coefficient is locally adapted, becoming negligible as object boundaries are approached. Noise is efficiently removed, and object contours are strongly enhanced. The technique is demonstrated with PLIF images obtained from the OH radical recorded in turbulent flames. We show that nonlinear diffusion is suitable as a preprocessing step, before image segmentation becomes possible, and we demonstrate how the technique is applied for the quantitative extraction of flame reaction boundaries from PLIF data.

Idaho 0
(1-3, 0-3 away)
Oregon State 38
(2-1, 2-0 home)
10:00 PM ET, September 23, 2006
Reser Stadium, Corvallis, OR
Top Performers
Passing: M. Moore (UCLA) - 169 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Y. Bernard (ORST) - 23 CAR, 117 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: S. Stroughter (ORST) - 5 REC, 68 YDS
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -- Dennis Erickson returned to Reser Stadium only to get blanked by his former team.
Yvenson Bernard ran for 117 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Erickson's old team, Oregon State beat his new one, Idaho, 38-0 Saturday night.
Some in the crowd at Reser Stadium gave Erickson a standing ovation as he ran onto the field with the Vandals (1-3). There were also a smattering of boos.
"It was great to get an ovation and then kick my rear end," he joked.
Oregon State (2-1) struck early with Bernard's 19-yard touchdown run on the Beavers' first possession.
Matt Moore found Anthony Wheat-Brown with a 10-yard scoring pass to make it 14-0 before Alexis Serna made a 34-yard field goal.
Bernard scored again midway through the third quarter on a 7-yard run.
The Beavers made it 31-0 when Derrick Doggett intercepted Brian Nooy and returned it 12 yards for the score. Backup quarterback Sean Canfield added 1-yard keeper for the final margin.
"I didn't see one good thing," Erickson said. "We need to get back to the drawing board and figure out what we need to do."
Either Mike Riley or Erickson have coached Oregon State for the past nine seasons.
First Riley, who grew up in Corvallis, came to the Beavers as head coach in 1997. He stayed for two seasons, compiling an 8-14 record, before becoming the head coach of the San Diego Chargers.
Erickson, who won two national titles at Miami and coached the Seattle Seahawks before taking over the Beavers, was at Oregon State for four years. In 2000, the Beavers went 11-1 with a victory over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl under Erickson.
It was a surprise when Erickson abruptly left for the 49ers, where he lasted two seasons, and Riley was rehired as the coach of the Beavers.
Erickson first coached the Vandals from 1982-85, his first job as a college head coach. After stops at Wyoming (1986) and Washington State (1987-88), he found his greatest success from 1989-94 at Miami.
After the game, Erickson congratulated Riley, and gave Oregon State strong safety Sabby Piscitelli, a senior, a pat on the back.
"They've got some things going on that team," Riley said about the Vandals. "When they get going in their league they're going to do fine."
Moore completed 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards and a touchdowns for the Beavers. Sammie Stroughter had five catches for 68 yards.
Steve Wichman completed just four of 17 passes for 40 yards and three interceptions. Nooy, who is from Pendleton, was 4-of-4 for 37 yards.
Linebacker Alan Darlin said it was the Beavers' defense that made the difference.
"I'm more than proud of everyone on the defense -- and not just the first string," he said.
The Beavers were coming off a bye after a 42-14 loss to Boise State back on Sept. 7. The team opened the season with a 56-17 victory over Eastern Washington.
"There was a bad taste in our mouths for 16 days -- it is good to have something else to latch on to," Darlin said.
"We knew they were a good team," Idaho linebacker David Vobora said. "The way they played at Boise isn't the way they are. When they put a lot of points up quick it's hard to come back."
The Vandals opened with a pair of losses, to Michigan State and Washington State, before defeating in-state rival Idaho State 27-24 last weekend.
"We're just not good enough to compete in a lot of areas," Erickson said.

Recent Creekside, Nordic Estate reviews
"I searched relentlessly and couldn't find a better deal. Laurie is a responsive and caring owner. The condo is great for the price. It was my first time in whistler and if I ever return I will be reaching out to Laurie. Read before you rent. This place is small, I woud say 4 people would be very tight. If your skiing I would orle recommend blue/black skiers use the ski on/off, it's no beginner traverse. Internet was fast, heated flooring was tremendous. The space is perfect for a couple of buddies going out to the mount isn't to see what whistler is all about. When I ski, I really don't care about partying and anything that could distract from the mountain, if your the same this is perfect, no noise of the village vut still great mountain access. If your remoteu considering tormenting this property, don't hessitate - just go for it. Only minus one star for access to mountain. For the fifth star, it would have to be more convenient."
"We just got back from our stay at this lovely condo! It was in the perfect location, close to the lift (and bus line) but quiet and relaxing at the same time. The owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Everything was clean when we arrived and the instructions provided were very detailed. The condo had everything we needed. Thank you so much for everything!! Highly recommend this rental!"
"This cabin was a perfect fit for our family! Everything was clean and beautiful inside and out. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen, bathrooms and living area were so welcoming. We enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boat because the weather was perfect. Over all, our stay was so wonderful!"

Second Year Statewide Conference on LGBT Issues In Education Coming Up
SOGI Now Offers Credits for Continuing Ed At March 9 Gathering
by Crystal A. Proxmire
Originally printed 2/21/2013 (Issue 2108 - Between The Lines News)
Last year's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Initiative Conference at Oakland University was such a hit that organizers are stepping it up for 2013, including offering Continuing Education Credits for education and counseling professionals.
This year's conference takes place on March 9 at the Oakland Center on OU's campus. It's an all-day event that includes continental breakfast and hot lunch. Tickets are $100 for general admission and $25 for students.
Tim Larrabee helped organize the conference as part of OU's commitment to diversity. The school set a priority for including sexual orientation and gender identity issues as part of their overall outreach to students in the School of Education.
"My charge was to make sure sexual orientation issues are infused through the school of education," Larrabee said. "What grew out of that was a taskforce of volunteers from every department to see what we could do. From that we created Michigan's first statewide conference on LGBT issues in education. We left it Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI), instead of making it LGBT. Sexual orientation and gender identity are labels we all live with. What we understood, is this is a human problem no matter where you lie on those spectrums, because everyone is impacted by perceptions."
Last year 150 people attended. This year more are expected because the event takes place on a Saturday and credits are being offered.
"This year's keynote is Debra Chasnoff of Ground Spark Films. She and her company produce gender and sexuality based films about youth. One of her most recent films is "Straightlaced--How Gender's Got Us All Tied Up." It looks at how we all are confined by gender stereotypes. Stereotypes constrict everybody," Larrabee said. He also recommends previous films of Chasnoff's including "It's Elementary--Talking, About Gay Issues in School," where she documented attitudes of youth in 1996, and the follow-up documentary "It's STILL Elementary," filmed in 2007.
David Garcia, executive director of Affirmations Community Center will be emceeing the conference, and Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh will also be on hand to share a few words.
There are multiple sessions, including "Using Research for Messaging and Moving Toward Justice," by Emily Dievendorf, policy director of Equality Michigan, "Students with Transgender Identities," by Antonia Caretto, PhD; "Strategies to Enhance Conditions for Learning for LGBT Students," by Jeffrey Poirier of the American Institutes for Research and Dustin Miller of Dublin City Schools; and "Social Justice Issues: Helping All Students Reach Their Potential," by Larry Thomas of Oakland schools and R.J. Webber of Novi schools.
And of course there will be several other options for sessions throughout the day, including a networking hour after lunch and a general roundtable session where all facilitators will be available for questions. The day will conclude with a performance by Riot Youth, a group from Ann Arbor's Neutral Zone teen center. The youth dramatize real-world situations that teens in Michigan schools experience. "They performed last year and the feedback was this was really impactful. It's that immediate real-life, real-world connection they make that you can't do in a workshop," Larrabee said.

In a small house on the corner of a narrow street resting in the shadows of the Old Covington Mill, a child was born on a cold November day to a lady named Grace. It was 1938, and with little fanfare the child was wrapped in a blanket and placed in the bosom of a loving mother. But I suspect even on that day the people around the child had a feeling that he was special. "His name will be Kenneth Lanier and he will be a preacher" a passing neighbor surmised. His mother agreed, and so it was.

Film industry hoping to recoup more than $22 million in tax credits
- Tim Schooley
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
Dawn Keezer, director the Pittsburgh Film Office, is hoping for $22.5 million in film tax credits to come available and she's not even talking about the annual legislative goal of uncapping Pennsylvania's tax credit program.
At least, not yet, she isn't.
Instead, Keezer said she was optimistic about the prospects of House Bill 2083, which passed the state house last week. Sponsored by Jerry Stern, a Republican representative whose District 80 represents part of Blair County, the bill proposes recapturing $22.5 million in film tax credits that were allocated and never used from movies that weren't made in years past.
Keezer is rooting for the state senate to pass it next and for it be fully passed by June.
"Our Southwestern Pennsylvania delegation voted almost unanimously to support it," said Keezer.
The legislation passed the house on May 6 would allow the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that oversees the state film tax credit program to recirculate the unused credits.
It's a new wrinkle in Keezer's spring that typically comes with helping would-be film productions set up and shoot in the region while championing raising or uncapping the annual value of the state's film tax credit program, currently expected to be $60 million.
She said there's currently no tax credit money available, even as productions continue to scout in the region.
That includes the new Vin Diesel project, "The Last Witch Hunter," for which there's already been allocated a film tax credit of more than $14 million. Keezer said that crew for the project were scouting in the Pittsburgh area just last week for a shoot expected to begin soon.

Does anyone grow helleborus here?
You see, all these impulse buys just get me in trouble...! I saw some very healthy looking helleborus Ivory Prince in gallon pots on sale last week, so I just HAD to buy them!!!
Now, I am trying to decide where I should plant them. In our zone 3 climate, can I plant them in a east-facing location with afternoon shade, or must I plant them in a shaded location here?
Does anyone grow helleborus around here? Do they grow well here in Calgary? Does the foliage remain evergreen in our harsh climate?
Thanks in advance!
pricklypoppy, would you mind telling me more about the location where you grew the helleborus? Was it protected? Any snow cover there at all? What direction did it face? I am curious as to whether it was in the optimal growing condition and yet it was still not able to survive there?
Thanks so much for your information!
Maybe you could try a south-facing location near the foundation of your house. I have an allium christophii near the foundation on the east side and it has survived for several years there (hasn't bloomed the past couple, though).
Hi, Ostrich, the two locations I tried: one was far away from the house at my southeast side of my garden alone with sugar maples (the sugar maples actually survive here just fine); the second location was closed to the foundation on the northeast side of the house. Both location have snow covered in the winter but at the first location snow melts much later than the second location. At both locations, I started them in the spring and they grew fine till fall, but did not wake up in the next spring.
My south facing side of the house don't have snow cover in winter. Only rhubarb survives there.
Hi pricklypoppy, thank you for letting me know!
What type of helleborus did you have please? Also, were they supposed to be hardy to zone 3? This one that I bought was an Ivory Prince, and it's supposed to be hardy to zone 3.... still, I am a bit scared now! If they would allow me perhaps I should go and return them!!!!!! Hmm....
Thanks again for your help!
Hi, Ostrich, the variety I tries were unnamed Helleborus niger from Fraser's Thimble farms. They were rated as zone 3. My guess is that they need more protection and some micro-environments do make difference for them to survive. The only way is to try and see. I like helleborus and I grew when I was in Vancouver island. Might try to get another one with my Fall order to try it out in Edmonton.
Hi pricklypoppy,
Thanks! Actually, I found the northernshade.ca website - the blogger is from Edmonton. He has successfully grown Ivory Prince for the last 3 years! So I am quite encouraged. You may want to check out his blog - beautiful photos! Love it.
I just found a spot where it's east facing and just by the fence. Some zone 4 things have survived and even thrived in that area. So I hope that these will too! We will find out in a year's time.... :-)
Thanks again!
Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth. I live in the Lower Mainland of BC (though I came from Edmonton), and I find that even here H. Niger are not as hardy as other Hellebore. (I have lost all mine). What thrives for me (even more than Ivory Prince) are H. Hybridus (used to be H. Orientalis). you might want to give one of those a try.
raehelen, thank you. I really only just found Ivory Prince on sale, so that's why I got them. Otherwise, they are just too pricey and risky!!! :-) I have my Ivory Prince now planted in a pretty well-protected east facing location. In this location, my other zone 4 plants have survived and done well too. Let's see how these do! :-) Thanks.

Weaving in--claiming to be--one of the approved minority groups will enhance your chances with many colleges. Become what they are seeking. The rules have changed, so play by the new rules. San Jose State has been filtering out any teacher credential candidate for years if they smell a non liberal thought in the applicant.

With today's organizations becoming more global, connected, and dynamic in nature, the idea and practice of information security has never been more complex.
Consider the following challenges IT faces in protecting the corporate networking environment:
- Each week, 60 new software vulnerabilities and 100 new viruses are identified.
- Customers and stakeholders continue to demand greater levels of services via online systems.
- Organizations face significant time, budgetary, and personnel constraints.
Enforcing security policies and regulations
Enterprises need to establish security policies, standards, and procedures to enforce information security in a structured way. Conducting a risk assessment will help you to identify and manage the vulnerabilities in your environment. From there, you will be able to develop a proper policy framework and standards, and begin constructing a set of policies tailored for your enterprise.
ISO 17799 is one of many government and industry based regulations and standards that enterprises are incorporating into their security policies. Your enterprise may also be subject to industry-specific security regulations such as HIPAA and GLBA. These outside policies need to be enforced, in addition to your own in-house policies. Establishing a security policy is one thing - effectively managing and enforcing them is quite another. Keeping access controls, authentication, and authorization measures up-to-date on all levels of your network is critical for a security policy to be effective. Any gaps in this information can increase your exposure to threats. Companies may have information security policies in place to protect critical assets and sensitive data, but they rarely have the means to effectively monitor compliance in accordance with that policy.
Great security software, but tough to manage
It can be difficult to get real-time information concerning what is happening across your enterprise network. If you have deployed various security devices on your network, you know it takes time to sort through the data coming in carrying thousands or even millions of events -- and finding the most important incidents in time to take action is a challenge. What's more, you need to have qualified employees who possess the expertise to interpret the data, regardless of whether performing a trend analysis or simply deciphering the important from the non-important series of events.
It is a common problem: you have installed separate security components, and each comes equipped with their own management console. But time is of the essence: you know that security incidents won't wait for your team to discover them. Without a single view of events occurring in the network, security threats such as attempts to crack into your corporate server or a blended threat crossing into your network could happen right under your nose.

Featured Book Behind the Scenes of The King's Ransom by Cheryl Carpinello
Featured Book The Mother Serpent's Daughter by T.W. Fendley
Psalm 33 [34] is another of my favorites. It's a little long to reproduce here, but here are the first six of the fifteen stanzas translated in my book, "Bible Wisdom: PSALMS of Praise & Power". This book is now available in Kindle, NOOK, Apple, etc., editions for only $2.99 or $3.
I will always thank the Lord God
I will always thank the Lord God.
I will bless Him and shout His praises at all times.
My soul will exult in the Lord!
May all who are downcast and oppressed
hear my words of praise. May they radiate joy
as they lift up their hearts and rejoice!
Come, magnify the Lord with me!
Yes, let us proclaim His greatness together,
and jointly praise His name!
Diligently, I sought the Lord God.
Swiftly, He answered me
and rescued me from all the perils,
dangers and afflictions with which I was surrounded.
So, look to Him all you who are heavily laden
and your burdens will be lightened.
You will never have cause to be ashamed
if you draw near to the Lord God!
This poor man cried out to Him!
And the Lord God heard my cry
and freed me from all my troubles!

A late-night fire at a multi-family house in Rapid City has killed a woman and her three grandchildren.
The Rapid City Fire Department says the fire that broke out shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday killed 51-year-old Marcia Rock, 9-year-old Thomas Rosado, 5-year-old Dustin Rosado and 3-year-old Marquez Hawkwing.
Rock was pronounced dead at the scene, and the three children were pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Authorities say early indications indicate human actions may have contributed to the cause of the fire. Lt. Brent Long says the investigation continues and will be a slow-moving process to make sure the cause is confirmed.
The American Red Cross helped 17 displaced people find a place to stay for the night. As many as 21 people may have been living in the home.

Search-and-rescue helicopters had spotted the capsule floating under a parachute toward its designated arrival site about 50 miles north of the Kazakh town of Arkalyk. The TMA-5 capsule then landed upright in the slush less than 3½ hours after undocking from the orbiting space station, where a new crew stayed behind to prepare to welcome the first space shuttle flight after a two-year hiatus. (Related video: 3-man crew returns to Earth)
Russia's space program has been the only way of getting astronauts to the station since the Columbia disintegrated as it returned to Earth on Feb. 1, 2003, resulting in a suspension of shuttle flights. NASA is hoping to renew the flights sometime next month.
"Again our Russian colleagues have shown how flexible they can be in the face of such daunting weather conditions in the landing zone to safely recover the crew," William Readdy, NASA's associate administrator for space operations, told reporters at Russian Mission Control in Korolyov, outside Moscow.
"We'll continue our steps as partners to complete the international space station and then move on beyond the Earth's orbit," he said.
Italian Roberto Vittori, Russian Salizhan Sharipov and American Leroy Chiao climbed out of the capsule and were whisked to a mobile hospital for a quick checkup. Hours later, the crew arrived in Moscow, where more thorough examinations were to be conducted at Star City, the cosmonaut training center outside the capital.
Vittori, a European Space Agency astronaut, had spent eight days on the station, while Sharipov and Chiao had been on the orbiting lab since October. Mission Control said Sharipov reported that the crew felt fine.
Remaining behind on the station were Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and American astronaut John Phillips, whose six-month mission is slated to include welcoming the first U.S. space shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster two years ago.
Engineers followed the capsule's journey through space on a map projected on a large screen at Mission Control and periodically communicated with the crew as it sped toward Earth.
The TMA-5 undocked at 10:44 p.m. Sunday Moscow time, after a four-minute delay caused by problems with the hermetic seals on Vittori's spacesuit, Mission Control officials said. The capsule entered the atmosphere about three hours later, and its parachute opened 15 minutes before the scheduled landing time of 2:07 a.m. Moscow time.
Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndin said that even after the shuttle resumes flying, Russian Soyuz spacecraft will continue to travel to and from the station about twice a year because they will serve as escape vehicles.

Hey ladies, I have been to the peri every 2 weeks almost since we found out I was having modi twins. I have a midwife that has delivered all my other 3 kidos. I am switching to a OB cause I am needing more of a high risk person for these babies. I had a Leep done last dec. I was wondering who is checking your cervical length? My Peri don't do it and my midwife won't. I think my new OB will but I am just wondering who is checking yours? I still can't believe the haven't check it!
Cervical length

Both my peri and on have been monitoring mine.

My peri checks it consistently via transvaginal u/s...my OB has only checked it once and that is because I was complaining of pressure down there. I have a feeling she will start checking it soon though.

My MFM has been checking mine monthly since 16 weeks. My OB just reviews his reports when I see her.
Posted 06/22/2013
I only see an OB (closest peri/mfm is 2+ hours away) and my cervix was only checked at my anatomy scan, luckily it was great, almost 4cm, so it better stay that way!

Winter 2015 March 6 Friday,
30 Degrees this morning 45:38minutes walking
Snow yesterday morning was gone (mostly) by early afternoon. My kind of snow! When I saw it was 15 degrees in the morning, I was resigned to having snow for a day or two. It was so nice to see it gone so fast!
The snow was pretty this morning, but it was a lot prettier with the snow gone! Still cold.
Friday is here already. It seems like the week flew by.
We are starting to look at houses again, after a break for the weather. We are really realizing we will need to cut down on some things. That isn't necessarily bad, just something we will need to do, even if we stay in our current house.
I have decided to try to look at everything I have decide if I will ever use it or if any one would really want it, and if not, off it goes to the donation box.
At least I can deduct it off my taxes!
I am always amazed at what the "smart phones" will do, I seem to learn something new about them every day. Today it had to do with how you can send "contacts" etc. over to another phone.
I keep thinking I need to learn all the secrets of the iPhone etc. I decided I am going to learn one new thing every day, or at least read about one item.
I am amazed that my original iPad battery is still going full.I don't use it much for internet items since it is so slow compared to the new ones, but it is great music, notes etc. I also have it bluetoothed to my car system and since I have all my books and music on it is greater that. I still like the color on it. It seem like a richer color than then the newer ones, although I really like the sharpness of the new ones.
My original iPhone, a 3, is still being used daily as my "walking" iPad and the battery is still going strong. If I figure right, that battery is six years old. Of course, my original iPod Shuffles at least 8 years old and is still going strong.
Of course, my latest iPad, which is about 1year and two months old seems to have a weak battery, at least it seems to go down fast. Of course, I also use it fairly intensively, I like a bright screen and I don't put it on "sleep" at all, so it is highly intensive use for my battery.
Today will be a"field day" at work, I need to catch up on some field work. Of course, I want to jump on them all at once, so I have to set priorities.
Of course, sometimes, the more I research or the more I talk with someone, frequently it brings up the need for more research to try to resolve the problem. Of course that is what makes it fun!
Glad to see warmer weather come back, it will be nice to have it for the weekend. Aliene is still coughing, so we are hoping that can be resolved. I am washing my hands at every opportunity to try to avoid catching anything.
The time change day seems to mean almost as much as the seasons. While I don't like the "Spring Forward" since I lose an hour, it does mean that Spring is almost here, which is wonderful.
I really like "gaining" an hour when we "fall back" but, it also means Winter is coming.
I guess that's life!
That's it for now, Friday,Marcy 6, 2015.

While this plant does not appear in our Native Plant Database, it appears that it is, indeed, native to North America and to Pennsylvania. Trim off the previous year's stems back to the green sprouts at the crown in mid-spring.

The intrepid Oxford don, explorer and author of "Going to Extremes" is back, and he's set himself a challenge to cope with the worst that nature can throw at him. Travelling to four of the most extreme natural environments: swamps, deserts, jungles and arctic wastelands, the question is can he pick up enough tips from the indigenous people to hack it at the very edge of human existence, or will his mid-latitude sensibilities forever let him down? This is Nick's account of how he put his body and mind to the test in a survival experiment.
