For Christmas, the most radiant of Dior perfumes is getting an extraordinary bottle, a pure haute joaillerie creation.
Discover the precious sensuality of J'adore through this solid gold, crystal and sparkling diamond jewel, produced in a limited edition displaying a unique savoir-faire.
"Real luxury requires the best materials and the sincerity of the craftsman. It has meaning only if its roots are growing in real traditions ," Christian Dior wrote in his autobiography. In homage to the couturier-perfumer, for whom the excellence of haute couture and the savoir-faire of perfumery were indelibly linked, the essence of the perfume J'adore L'Or is encased by an extraordinary bottle in the manner of a bejeweled dress. For this limited edition of only five, the iconic J'adore amphora, inspired by the house's first perfume bottles and the sensual curves of the New Look , is revisited in the most precious materials that there are. Each crystal bottle is hand blown by one of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (nationally distinguished craftspeople) from the Baccarat workshop, perpetuating the close ties that have linked the house of Dior to the prestigious crystal maker since 1947.
Each piece requires countless tries to be perfect; each is unique. The neck of the crystal amphora is then adorned with an exceptional Maasai-inspired stopper in gold set with one hundred and thirty eight diamonds, and crafted by hand by the artisans in the house's haute joaillerie ateliers. Contained within a leather jewel box, this edition of J'adore L'Or is a rare gem. Its precious bottle holds the perfume essence created by François Demachy, Dior's exclusive perfumer-creator, using the noblest of raw materials. Centifolia rose, jasmine from Grasse, Tahitian vanilla and tonka beans come together in a fragrance with oriental notes, scenting a woman's wake with sensual richness.

This bug has been open on the Ubuntu bugzilla (Launchpad) for two years
The only way to get it fixed is for someone to attract the kernel developers attention.....
These test results should be added to with some powertop runs and results reported. I am beyond frustration over this matter. It reflects very badly on linux.
This issue has been in the Ubuntu Launchpad system for two years now:
It needs reporting to the kernel bugzilla. The results here plus powertop output would be good. Someone familiar with kernel development needs to do this (not me unfortunately).
[Offtopic] Idea for PTS: ability to zoom in graphs.
I recently discovered a bug in my wifi adapter that causes terrible performance with power management activated. This started around the time the kernel I'm running got updated to 2.6.38, so it seems the power management area really needs a bit more attention.
Michael Larabel
Maybe I'm just stating the obvious but have you compared the kernel .config files with each other? For instance, if the default config starts using a higher CONFIG_HZ setting you'll have a much different amount of ticker timer irqs, and, potentially, task reschedulings happening. Same with CONFIG_HZ vs tickerless modes etc. Just a thought.

hannah.her We just stayed there for one night, but it was really nice. The hostel is located in the city centre. There is a garage nearby where you only pay 10 euros for 24 hours if you stay at Hostal Nuevas Naciones. The staff was friendly and told us everything we wanted to know, the room was clean with comfortable beds. The ensuite bathroom was also very clean and nice. I can really recommend you to stay there!

jennifer.i A lovely brand new hostel, combining the charm of a beautifully restored old building done in the Spanish/Arabic style with a little bit of Swedish modern practicality thrown in! The owners (a young Spanish/Swedish couple) run the hostel very well, keeping it all very clean and are also very friendly and offer lots of useful advice about what to see and do in the area. There is a communal dining/kitchen/lounge area for everyone to meet up in and relax. The facilities are good and there is a very comfortable homely atmosphere there. The location is central and everything you need or would want to visit is nearby. My only complaint is that sometimes you could not have breakfast till 9am, as they wanted to clean the kitchen first!
garyhowart This was like being in a family home - amazing place! No parking in the Albayzin (Old Town) but there is limited parking at the top of the hill. Follow 'Parking Albayzin' signs. Almost certainly better to arrive by public transport but either way you'll have to be fairly fit to manage the uphill walking. Definitely worth it though!

Yes, about 8 or so. Horseback riding, corn maze, and zoo, once each. Arlington Race track several times. Brought my kids to all of them, except the first Arlington I attended. All were local, and most were during the summer when I was not working (except for being a mom). All the events were arranged by two CMr's, both of which aren't active members anymore (I believe).
For those looking to get out and do something, I highly recommend attending an event. If you can travel, do so then. I've found that evenone who attends them are friendly, and if you have kids, they are very welcoming of them.
CM Phoenix in the Fall 2012, and excited to go to CM Phoenix in the Spring 2013--thanks, Lina, for such a great time!!!
I want to go to more of them, and hope to help organize one for California in the future. It is THE BEST WAY to meet others, have Christian fellowship, and have FUN!! So many interesting and fun, diverse people to meet and begin friendships!!! Do it, do it DO IT!
Hi, Lucy. I'm organizing my second event, and made 3 meet-ups apart from the events. I enjoyed each one, and feel blessed to have met the people I have at them. Wish I could afford to go to one out of state, but my limited funds need to be dedicated elsewhere at the moment.
How about you?
Thanks, Lina, for organizing the events you've done! I'm not an organizer of the full-scale events. I'm just not the talented! I've only organized one Meet-Up at my place for New Year's Eve in Dec. 2011, though I'm second in command for a couple Helen 407474 technically heads up . As for attending:
CM St. Louis - 2x
CM Ireland 2011
CM Indy events - too many too count, though I don't make them as often as I'd like
CM Chicago - 2012
several small meet-ups within a few hours drive from me
one meet-up organized by the NY/NJ peeps when another CMer and I came to town
Like you, Lina, my funds are limited, as well as timing due to teaching. I'd LOVE to travel to some of the events that have been listed over the years. I've not been to Phoenix, but I believe the OTHER Peoria is nearby...
Donna from Indianapolis is the Queen, I think, but I've done okay.

And don't forget CM St. Louis! You and I got a chance to meet at the tail end of one of those, and I think that may have been your second one in St. Louis
I have not gone to one but would like to. There's never any event close to where I live.
Hi, Susan! I hope you get to attend one, too! Have you thought of trying to host a small meet-up for Mass, followed by a meal? Get in touch with Mary 25961. I'm not sure how far you are from the NYC area, but I know once upon a time, they had a crew that met monthly there. I think they've slacked off, but they might still get together occasionally.

Phoronix: GNOME 3.10 Continues Pushing Ahead With Wayland
New GTK+, Mutter, and GNOME Shell development releases in recent days continues advancing the GNOME 3.10 support for Wayland...
1.) KDE project is trimming all the fat from KDElibs and integrating all the useful features back to QtCore[will help tons for portability]
2.) Wayland required bit more time on Qt due to scenegraphs integration, proper EGL/GLES, proper window management abstraction[QPA], QML composite API, QObject integration for wayland events, etc
3.) Qt is focusing in parallel in android/iOS/BB10 ports too
4.) Massive improvement in X11 codepath through abstraction and XCB migration
5.) KDE wanted to leave a very stable 4.11 revision before focus totally in KF5 to avoid another 4.0 release situation
6.) phasing out KDM and focus on a lean solution and systemd logind for wayland/XCB[for now QDDM seem the best candidate]
my point is both have different fronts to attack and different timescales to do it, i mean is awesome that gnome is getting wayland in september and is awesome that KDE is focusing in wayland, efficiency and portability for later next year and is awesome that EFL will go for wayland too in december
Thanks for the news, always good to hear from gnome and wayland.
GNOME is focussed on Wayland, KDE as well. Move along, nothing to see except respect.
Noble deeds? You make it should like they are trying to find a cure for cancer. How are they proving that they are going at a "higher development pace"? Given your track record, I'd be highly surprised if you could prove it, given that facts or even reality are not exactly your forte.
Also, given that they are insisting on having a tweak tool just to simply enable features that people want, instead of having the options built into GNOME and its programmes by default is indicative that as a whole the developers are still failing to properly listen to their users?
I'd be very interested to see gnome/wayland running on a raspberrypi. potentially the performance could be quite good.

Phoronix: Lightworks 11.5 Brings New Linux Features
The Lightworks professional non-linear video editing software that finally made it to Linux last year has seen a major update this week with the arrival of Lightworks 11.5...
Man, I just got my hopes up, and then see that AJA suport is only on WindowsLightworks 11.5 for Windows and Linux includes support for AJA I/O devices
Too bad it's a scam as of now. They've been promising everyone that PRO users would have to pay only for PRO codecs, and this is how it's been working for three years now, first on Windows then on Linux. But now they have crippled the free version to output 720p "youtube" videos only.
Also, they've been saying all along they were going to open source the software. Now, for inexplicable reasons (everybody knows development would go MUCH faster if they opened the code already), that is delayed until OS X version is ready. If the time it's taken them to release a proper Linux version on parity with the Windows one is any indication, that means probably two more years. Many, including myself, believe Editshare will never open the code for Lightworks. They lied once. Why would they keep the promise two years from now?
I've asked them to rectify and I still have hopes they do. Until then I consider this release a classic bait & switch scam which should be openly exposed and rejected.

OK, suppose Lighworks or some Windows editor running in WINE had such good GPU accelerated rendering that render time was always 30 seconds or less, as opposed by 1.5x realtime for Kdenlive with Bulldozer. If the closed program required me to transcode first-or had to transcode them itself to import them, I would have to wait hours for all the raw files to transcode, just to save five minutes at render time.
Maybe Kdenlive will have full GPU accel in a year or two, but even if it never does, it is damned good right now. I have been intensely curious about Lightworks, but I would not dare link a video editor used for my kind of raw files to an account with anyone, nor trust closed code not to try and watermark my files in some covert way potentially useful to law enforcement (I do activist video). Hell, I could easily see a closed-source editor with a paid version embedding license numbers somewhere in the videos. I would not dare distribute video that could contain such data, just as I strip EXIF metadata off photos before putting them online. I also would never agree to use crippled code that arbitrarily limits my output resolution, their "solution" to the uselessness of a free editor that won't read the files made by common inexpensive cameras.

It's in "Free Software" category but Lightworks is currently proprietary.
Like Aleve, I'm very disappointed to hear that this new 'free' version can only output up to 720p. Thats a major restriction which makes the free version pretty much useless for (semi) pro use and even for most amateur productions and also casts further doubt over us ever seeing the source because if it did get open sourced, there is no way that open code-derived builds would limit you in this way or if that restriction was still in place it'd be promptly removed by a third party hacker.
I hope the KDEnlive hiatus / restructuring doesn't last too long because we need it as much as ever after this shitshell.
Right now, I only get one serious bug with Kdenlive: playing the timeline to the very end with audio on the track can cause the audio to hang and sometimes make Kdenlive nonresponsive. Keeping a short silent "trash" clip spaced past the end will prevent this bug, which is similar to a bug Audacity had in 2009. The nonuse of GPU acceleration for effects means some effects cannot be played back in realtime and will stutter the playback, but they can be temporarily deselected in playback to work around that. That's a missing feature, not a bug. I'm not sure about this, but I don't think Lightworks uses the GPU to render, only to accelerate effects in playback, something Shotcut can do now with the latest MLT. Should not be too hard to add that to Kdenlive during the refactoring, which I suspect will be done long before Lightworks releases any code.
Even in Lightworks somehow has no unintended bugs whatsoever, to compete with Kdenlive it would have to be as easy to use while simultaniously offering at least as many features. Most other video editors I have tested are either harder to use, have fewer features, or both at once. Cinelerra can do a few things Kdenlive cannot, but is so old it doesn't support modern codecs and thus is useless with my camera. I can't test lightworks due to its untrusted distribution model, but I hear it has a high-learning curve, difficult to use interface (I've seen the screenshots). For that much trouble to be worthwhile it would have to do a lot of things Kdenlive doesn't do, and not be caught by Kdenlive by the time (if ever) the code is opened. Kdenlive is as easy to start using as the simplest consumer video editors, yet is very full featured including deinterlacing and fully capable color correction.

The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First by Mark Hyman, MD Review by James S. Gordon, MD
The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First
by Mark Hyman, MD, Scribner's: New York: 2009
Review by James S. Gordon, MD
I just finished The UltraMind Solution, a wonderful, ground breaking book that gives new and eminently practical insight into the causes and treatment of mood, behavior, and cognitive disorders. It's a book I recommend to all of you without reservation.
The UltraMind Solution is by Mark Hyman, MD, a highly skilled, integrated Family physician who is a Center for Mind-Body Medicine Board Member, and a core faculty person in our Food As Medicine training. In The UltraMind Solution, Mark suggests that the most effective and, indeed, scientific way to address the epidemic of psychiatric disorders (affecting 1.1 billion people worldwide) is not with psychotropic drugs that treat postulated alterations in neurotransmitters, but with nutritional therapies that address the underlying biological imbalances that ultimately may disturb neurotransmitter functioning.
The UltraMind Solution is based on the principles of "functional medicine," a systems approach to chronic disease and to the physical and emotional problems that beset our population. It is a road map for both patients and practitioners, a clear, thoughtful, guide to the ways the body can become imbalanced, and to the simple, natural methods-largely food and supplements-that can be used to restore the imbalances in the entire body, and most particularly, the brain. It's a book that significantly deepened my own understanding of biological factors in depression. I believe, as well, it will enhance the information on biology that I present in my book Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression.
In a series of clear, well documented chapters, Mark discusses the "7 keys" to his program, and the ways that readers can use them.

PTSD on Wall Street and Main Street
"You don't have to go to Gaza to treat posttraumatic stress disorder," my friend said. "Just come to New York."
It's not that the mental and emotional state of the US population is indistinguishable from that of Gaza's Palestinians — many of whom have lived with eight years of war and civil strife — thousands of lives lost and homes destroyed, and unemployment reaching 40-50 — some say 70-80– percent. Indeed, even those of us hit hardest three weeks into the worst of this unraveling financial crisis, are still technically experiencing only an "acute stress disorder." But there are signs that each day, this growing financial crisis is traumatizing us more and more. Add to that our costly, life-claiming Middle East war, and we — like the Palenstinians in Gaza — may also be on our way to significant levels of population-wide traumatic stress.
Posttraumatic stress disorder, which by definition lasts longer than several weeks, is characterized by three sets of symptoms: "Hyperarousal," an agitated state in which the heart may race, concentration and sleep are disturbed, startle responses are exaggerated and anger easily triggered; "Re-experiencing" the original trauma — in nightmares, intense and disturbing memories, and flashbacks; and "Avoidance" of trauma-related thoughts and feelings, coupled often with a sense of detachment and estrangement, emotional numbness and an apprehension about a bleak future.
All these are in abundant supply in those closest to the crisis — the ones who have lost jobs and pensions, older people who see their retirement savings melting away, and people of all ages who cannot keep up payment on their homes. Many who are, or were, working on Wall Street are sleeping fitfully, jiggling their knees uncontrollably in meetings, drinking and eating too much, losing their appetites, and popping antacids and tranquilizers. One broker friend is awake far into the night, worrying about her elderly clients' inability to live on their diminished incomes and whether or not she will be able to pay her own child's tuition. Others, like one 30-year Lehman Brothers veteran who is married to a colleague, have receded into states of frozen denial; acting as if somehow everything were still as it was. He dresses as meticulously as he always did and sits for hours at a computer which no longer registers his trades.
And the symptoms are also present with more or less intensity in many of the rest of us who feel the financial foundations crumbling under our feet. I have been hearing from retirees who are waking up in the middle of the night, panicked, to pore over diminished budgets, then fall asleep worrying that their fixed incomes will no longer permit them to live in the houses they saved a lifetime to buy. A colleague out West tells me her psychiatric inpatient service is overflowing with people whose loss of homes and jobs has undermined their precarious emotional, as well as economic, security. Meanwhile, anxious and depressed people, unable to afford gas for the long trip to the outpatient clinic, call in for more prescriptions for tranquilizers, antidepressants, and sleeping pills. And children may be just as deeply affected as their parents; according to The Washington Post, a recent national survey of 500 teenagers found that already, "70% fear 'an immediate negative impact' on the security of their families."
Former senator Phil Gramm's infamously dismissive comment declaring the US in the midst of a "mental recession" is likely to turn out to be true in a way he never intended. Financial irresponsibility and lack of oversight are indeed creating the conditions for "mental" disturbance. The associated loss of confidence and hope further threatens the trust upon which credit and the financial markets depend.
Even when trauma is reliably over, the feelings of being overwhelmed and stuck persist. Five years after the war in Kosovo, we found that 44% of all high school seniors in the Suhareka region still had symptoms of PTSD. And when stress is ongoing, its symptoms and the accompanying depression are continually reinforced. Some Americans will never recover financially or emotionally from the loss of jobs and homes and savings. Others will be long unemployed, and their misfortune and lack of income — and the emotional distress both bring — will affect businesses in their communities as well as in their own families and friends. Meanwhile, vast numbers, perhaps our entire population, will likely feel the uncertainty and vulnerability that the ongoing and deepening financial crisis is provoking — feelings that still bedevil so many who lived through the Great Depression. One recent landmark study on the influence of genetics and "life stress" showed that of all possible causes, financial setbacks were most likely to contribute to depression.
In Gaza and Israel — where the consequences and threats of terrorist bombings are ever-present — and in Kosovo and New Orleans, my colleagues and I have helped tens of thousands of fearful and vulnerable people in the midst of chaos. We teach them meditation, deep breathing and movement techniques, mental images, and exercise. Learning these techniques, they find places of calm and control within themselves, discover solutions to problems that had seemed unsolvable, and raise their depleted physical and emotional energy. Acting to help themselves, they find antidotes to the helplessness and hopelessness that are the hallmarks of depression and traumatic stress. Learning together they discover mutual support and a renewed sense of community.
In Gaza, in the most vulnerable parts of Israel, and in New Orleans, there is another factor that makes people's stress and depression — and, yes, their anger as well — so much worse. This is the sense of being dismissed and neglected by the larger world on which they had once depended.
These feelings of neglect, deception, and disrespect are only increasing as the financial crisis deepens here and expands overseas. They must be addressed. The various bailouts are initial investments in confidence as well as credit, the first signs of a public assumption of responsibility. But they are only a down payment on the far more comprehensive measures that must follow, and should only be the first step in the government's effort to regain the trust that is necessary to real recovery.
As a country, we must honestly admit to and address the causes of our crisis — greed, arrogance, and indifference. Then we must begin to pay honest, ongoing attention to the concerns of a population that feels betrayed, vulnerable, and abandoned. These steps will promote stress reduction as well as provide fiscal reassurance. Meanwhile, we have to learn, quite literally, to breathe deeply, to relax in the midst of fear and uncertainty, to trust that we, like the Israelis and Palestinians and New Orleanians, can grow and change through adversity. We cannot avoid the fear and the stress in the world in these troubled times. We can however, learn to live more peacefully with them.

NEWS RELEASE: "Landmark CMBM Randomized Controlled Trial Treating PTSD in Children Published in Journal of Clinical Psychiatry"
The Washington, DC based Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) announced today the publication of a landmark study on the use of its comprehensive, non-drug model to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war traumatized children. The study, "Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Post-War Kosovar Adolescents Using Mind-Body Skills Groups: A Randomized Controlled Trial," which was published today online in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry is the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) ever of any intervention with war traumatized children. It is also the first RCT of a successful, comprehensive mind-body approach with any traumatized population.
The study demonstrates that the Center's groundbreaking model can be used to produce highly significant and lasting changes in levels of stress, flashbacks, nightmares, and symptoms of withdrawal and numbing in highly traumatized children – those who lived in an area of Kosovo where in 1999 90% of the homes were burned and bombed and 20% of the children lost one or both parents.
The CMBM approach includes self-expression in words, drawings, and movement and mind-body techniques (including meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback and yoga) was offered to these children over 12 sessions in an educational, supportive small group setting. This intervention produced an approximate 80% reduction in PTSD in the treatment groups, much of which was maintained at 3 month follow-up. This is the same model that CMBM's founder and director, James S. Gordon, MD, describes in detail in his new book, Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression.
"This RCT," Dr. Gordon, the lead author, says, "is important because it provides scientific evidence for the efficacy of a model that has been taught to almost 3,000 health and mental health professionals and educators worldwide. We've used this small group model to give tens of thousands of children and adults practical tools that help them to feel better quickly, and we've taught them to use their intuition and imagination to solve problems that had seemed overwhelming. We help traumatized people around the world to draw on strengths they may have forgotten they have and we offer them a 'safe place' in which they can share their pain with others who have suffered as they have."
"This model is educational, non-stigmatizing, and powerfully effective. It can be easily taught and can be used by people of all ages on their own," Dr. Gordon explains. "It's highly acceptable to populations which do not want to be given medication, those without access to a doctor or therapist, and those who are in psychotherapy."
This model, which Dr. Gordon presents in a step-by-step self-help format in Unstuck, is currently being used by CMBM with war traumatized populations in Israel and Gaza as well as in post-Katrina southern Louisiana. It is widely used with anxious and depressed people and those with chronic illness in the US, and has already been incorporated as a stress reduction program for students in a dozen US medical schools.
The CMBM model is also of increasing interest to the US Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. "The military," Dr. Gordon says, "understands the breadth and depth of the psychological crisis (as many as 300,000 returning veterans are expected to have posttraumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder, and another 320,000 will have been made vulnerable to these conditions by traumatic brain injury). The military's leadership is committed to finding evidence-based approaches, like the one taught by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, that can make a difference for the individual veteran and his/her family, an approach that can be taught to the large numbers of professionals and peer counselors who serve them." More than 100 health and mental health professionals who work with the military are expected at the next CMBM training in mind-body medicine on October 25-29 in Minneapolis, and many more are expressing interest in learning and using the CMBM model.

There is a lot of attention being paid to the world of online marketing, but it isn't as new as some news outlets would like us to believe. Having a corporate web marketing plan is more important than ever, and ignoring this may be losing your company a great deal of money. It's very easy to get distracted with all the information floating around on the topic, but let's try to clear some of it up so you can take advantage of all the internet has to offer you and your business.
Q. Why are you in business ?
A. To earn money!
You wouldn't be in business if you weren't planning on making money. While that is one of the reasons you are business, it's not truly what will make you money. Selling a product, even something as simple as toilet rolls is where the money is, provided you have the traffic
Your business internet marketing strategy has to be built on what your clients need, not what you need. To be more accurate, your approach has to emphasize the benefits to your customer (what they want) so you can create higher profits (what you want). Before you can give them what they want, you need to know who your ideal customers are and what it is that they really want.
The neat thing is that the internet is an ideal way to get your promotional message out there, and it can be done for a reasonably low cost when compared with traditional advertising. Naturally you should also include standard media in your advertising campaigns, but be sure they complement your online marketing and vice-versa even if you're only selling cocktail umbrellas.
Web marketing covers everything you do online that could be even remotely connected with your company. A comment on a message board, a blog post, an update to your personal Facebook page, almost anything, anywhere will all contribute to the public perception of you and your company. That doesn't mean you should be scared to have an online presence, but it does mean that you should diligently consider anything you do and say on the internet. One company that does that very well is
There has been a profound shift recently from companies who were stuck in the past almost and focused on keyword rankings, to a) delivering very high quality content and b) converting website visitors into newsletter subscribers. An example of a company who I've been speaking to recently that have embraced this shift is email marketing to their customer base as standard
There may have been a time when a business, any company, could gain a footing in the market by just having a website, but those days are long gone. However, if you don't have a web site and a full corporate online marketing strategy then you are falling farther behind to your competition. Speaking of competitors, it has changed, too. It used to be that you knew who your competition was and that they were of the same size as your business. Today, your competition could be a person with little more than a computer.
It's debatable whether there was ever time when you didn't need an online strategy, but there is no question that you now need a corporate internet marketing strategy if you want to have a successful business.

Don't Let Your Home Be A Trap For Elk
Last week Rick Spowart, Wildlife Manager for the Colorado Division of Wildlife received a call that a large bull was entangled in some wire.
After searching for the bull, he found him very caught up in yards of wire fencing. The wires were wrapped tightly around his head and neck and back to his legs and it was so tight that there was a danger that it could have cut off the circulation to his limbs. Also, had the elk done any sparring with another bull, the results could have been doubly disastrous because then the two elk would have become entangled together.
[imagebrowser id=4]
Spowart drug immobilized the elk and was able to free him from the wire. The bull later woke up and wandered off, wire free. The bull has since been sighted several times in the past week following his rescue and luckily, he survived the ordeal.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife urges all residents to take some time this week to look around your property. Is there anything that might pose a danger to our wildlife? Anything that they might get caught up in? If the answer to that is "yes" please take the time to put that item away so the animals are out of danger. It could be a tomato cage, a roll of wire, even lawn chairs and ropes should be stowed away in the garage or storage shed when not in use.
If you have a fenced in yard, please know that elk are particularly bad fence negotiators. Barbed wire fences, with loose, low bottom wires, and high top wires create lethal traps. Juvenile elk are more likely to die in fence accidents than adults. There are accounts of dead fawns and calves, curled up next to fences, because they were unable to cross where the adult animals did.
This week, take a good look at your yard and fencing and make sure it is not a hazard for the animals.

Good advice, Mr. Spowart! I appreciate it, and I know the animals do too!

Back in 2004 when I was looking to name my events company, I stumbled across the word 'Chic' in an old dictionary. The definition was: "a fashionable lifestyle, ideology, or pursuit". I fell in love with the word and the idea that chic is the pursuit of something better, prettier, or cooler than you are today. Chic isn't a state of being or even a destination, chic is the journey you take on the way to something greater. ~Rachel
Question: From RJ in Los Angeles Hi Rachel! We had a gathering last night where quite a few kids (mostly toddlers) showed up with their parents.

Product Category Description:
These disposable UV-transparent cuvettes fit most commercial 10mm-pathlength spectrophotometers and photometers. Cuvettes are manufactured from a proprietary plastic that is transparent from 220–900nm, replacing quartz cuvettes for DNA, RNA, protein purity and quantification, and other UV/visible applications, while eliminating scratching, washing and sample cross-contamination. Cuvettes also offer superior chemical compatibility for polar organic solvents, acids, and bases, including acetone, butanone, DMF, and concentrated hydrochloric acid. Cuvettes are mold-cavity matched for the lowest variation in extinction coefficient.
Ultra-micro cuvettes are available in two z-dimensions (8.5mm and 15mm) to match the beam height of most commercial spectrophotometers. A 70µL minimum fill volume conserves sample. Round caps are available for ultra-micro cuvettes to provide a plug seal for short-term sample storage. Individually wrapped BIO-CERT* ultra-micro cuvettes are DNA-, DNase-, and RNase-free, providing a purity assurance not available with quartz cuvettes.
The polypropylene cuvette rack features 16 numbered positions and can be autoclaved to 121°C (250°F).

Hi Rachel, you forgot the tarp. One that fits right over the tent and gives a bit of living area outside for the stove and chairs. I find it takes less time to set the tarp up than it takes to clean the bird crap off the tent later.
