Cold-Hearted Retailers Force Employees to Work on Thanksgiving
|By: Kevin Gosztola Thursday November 27, 2014 4:00 pm
Most Americans work more than the population in any other wealthy country. Americans are also increasingly likely to work at night and on the weekends. Thanksgiving used to be one of the few holidays, when a person could count on not working and being able to spend with family. Now, with Black Friday becoming a two-day capitalist bonanza, poor and working class employees are having to report to work or face the possibility of being fired.

Change has come about because organizations spent years working to produce a shift in public opinion then using the initiative process to bypass reluctant politicians. Change has come almost exclusively from the grassroots.
Walmart Again Holds Food Drive for Own Underpaid Workers
|By: Peter Van Buren Wednesday November 26, 2014 11:23 am
Walmart, who pays its workers so little and/or gives them so few hours, that they cannot feed themselves while the Walton family rakes in billions, does have its sense of humor. Either that or they could just care so little about what anyone thinks that they are just like, whatever, what are you going to do about it anyway except buy more junk you don't need from us on Black Friday?
Pull Up a Chair: Thanksgiving Celebration 2014
|By: eCAHNomics Saturday November 22, 2014 4:00 am
Here we are, the week before Thanksgiving. Twenty questions, of a sort: What will your menu be Thursday? Who preps the food? Who do you spend the holiday with, how many people; relatives, friends? How far do you travel, by what mode (air, train, bus, car…)? How long is your trip? How long do you stay? What traditions? Do you have to work? If so, will you celebrate another day? Will you bag the effort to cook at home and go to a restaurant? If so, what kind?
Thanksgiving Should Be Earlier
|By: Jon Walker Saturday November 30, 2013 1:00 pm
Spending this weekend with my family I've realized the timing of Thanksgiving is very awkward. As a country we have basically two big family holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they are only a month apart.
At Least 116 Arrested in Planned Civil Disobedience at Walmart Stores on Black Friday
|By: Kevin Gosztola Saturday November 30, 2013 10:40 am
Protests planned by current and former Walmart Associates and a coalition anchored by the United Food & Commercial Workers (UCFW) were held at various Walmart locations across the United States. Over 110 arrested were arrested while engaging in civil disobedience.
Over Easy: …one more thing

I hope those of us who are not struggling to feed ourselves and our families during the holidays can manage a small contribution to help those who are.
No Line in Front of Best Buy in Affluent DC Suburb
|By: Jane Hamsher Friday November 29, 2013 8:00 am
Maybe instead of chalking Black Friday mania up to rampant greed we should be looking at the ever increasing gap between the rich and the poor — and the economic policies that are fording people to participate in a Hunger Games-like spectacle in order to provide for themselves and their families.

US Army Develops Tooth Cleaning Gum 160
from the forget-the-brush dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
There is also the fact that frequently chewing gives you crooked teeth.
No it doesn't. In fact research has shown that chewing gum actually straightens your teeth, correctly aligns your jaw, assists in building upper body muscle strength, improves learning and memory function in the brain, and can increase the size of your penis and duration of your erections by up to 58%.
(you didn't provide a source for your 'fact' so I don't see why I should)
And... as... an... engineer I can tell you that your PhD has apparently made your head so big you can't tell the difference between the words "inhibit" and "attack".
Xylitol, by your own words, "inhibits" bacterial growth-- i.e. to limit, block, or decrease the action or function of.
KSL, according the TFA you probably didn't bother to read, "attacks" existing bacteria-- i.e. the onset of a corrosive or destructive process.
Whether or not the difference is important in the field, the two chemicals/proteins/whatever use entirely different methods of solving the problem.
Like many doctors, you seem to have a firm grasp on one specific area of expertise, and completely ignore all other areas-- like the english language, or basic reading comprehension and problem solving skills.
Full disclosure-- since we're all being hoity-toity with our degrees, I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering a B.A. in English Literature. I suppose it isn't really fair, since one of my degrees taught me how to read and apparently yours did not.
Xylitol is not an artificial sweetener.
You are lost in the Swamps of Despair.

GBIF's newest Participant, Brazil, has announced details of the individuals and national institutions that will represent the country and coordinate its participation in the network.
The national biodiversity information system for Brazil, SiBBr, has launched a survey of the data on biodiversity and ecosystems held by more than 200 institutions in the country, helping to mobilize data from GBIF's newest Participant.
A portal that provides free access to information on Colombia's biological diversity has been launched by the GBIF national node.
Modelling of future occurrences of a mosquito strongly associated with malaria in Mesoamerica and the Caribbean suggests that high altitude areas will become increasingly at risk of the disease, due to climate change.
Climate change will make many parts of North Africa unsuitable for growing date palms, according to research using occurrence data accessed via GBIF to generate models based on future conditions of temperature and moisture.
A study using more than half a million plant occurrence records downloaded via GBIF, covering over 16,000 species, has developed a network of 'virtual parks' to assess how well biodiversity is currently protected in South America.
A winner of the 2011 GBF Young Researchers Award, César Antonio Rios-Muñoz, has authored a study using GBIF-mediated data to help identify key areas for birds in the lowland forests of Mexico and Central America.
The GBIF Secretariat has announced support for three co-ordinated projects aimed at promoting publication of peer-reviewed biodiversity 'data papers' in Spain, Latin America and Asia.
Mentoring among GBIF Participants will support network-building and publication of biodiversity data from Indonesia, Costa Rica and cities worldwide.

Summary: Maybe Voldemort had found a way to win after all, by using Harry's true weakness. Him.
Rating: M, mild smut in here.
Word Count: 1,545
A/N: I got this little plot bunny, and would not go away until I wrote it. Slightly AU, set during Deathly Hallows.
Harry found himself walking down the long hall that was the Chamber of Secrets. He didn't remember how or why he was there, but he was. It was the same as the last time he'd seen it, dark and wet, with high pillars and snake carvings everywhere. The one prominent thing that was missing would be the corpse of the basilisk that he killed back in second year. It was eerily silent compared to the last time he was down here. He walked down the long runway to the large statue of Salazar Slytherin, and the previous home to his basilisk. He wearily walked a few more steps forward, wand out and ready to strike, when it flew out of his hand and into the hand of a shadowed stranger standing behind one of the large pillars.
"Who are you?" Harry asked, feeling a bit defenseless without his wand. "Give me my wand back," Harry repeated.
He moved closer to the mysterious figure, and the possibilities of who it could be were limited, but his mind drew a blank to who could be in the chamber with him, seeing as he was one of the only people that knew of its existence. He stepped closer to the direction in which his wand flew, and saw the shadow move again. The person was tall, and had the body type of a man, someone around Harry's own age.
"Reveal yourself, stranger," Harry said again.
"I'd hardly call us strangers, Harry," said the figure as they emerged from the darkness, twirling Harry's wand in their hands, the tell all smirk on his handsome face.
Harry gasped, "H-how is t-this possible?"
"What? No faith in me, love? You of all people should know that this is very possible," Tom said as he smirked at Harry.
"Don't call me that," Harry said completely in shock by the turn of events, and he moved further away from Tom Riddle.
"Alright, well will you at least stay and talk with me?" he said, moving closer as Harry moved away.
"No, I don't want anything to do with you or Voldemort," Harry said angrily, holding his stance. His indignation got the better of his shock.
"Well, I do believe that is a lie," Tom said, lazily twirling Harry's wand as he had all those years ago.
"N-no it's not," Harry stuttered out, but still didn't move from the spot, but his eyes flicked from Tom's hands as they held his wand.
"Well you see, you thought you were the only one who knew the little secret that you were the seventh Horcrux," Tom began, "but no. I've known for some time that after the diary was destroyed, I was not gone. I was kept alive in the memory from the part of Voldemort's soul that lies within you."
"I-I-," said Harry as he tried to put together all the thoughts in his head.
"I also know the other little secret you're hiding," Tom said as he slunk towards Harry, as predator to its prey would. Tom circled Harry and stopped in front of him, towering above him.
Harry gulped, and thought he couldn't possibly know, that's the secret burried deepest in my mind, the most humiliating thing ever. My one true weakness, the thing that could be the end of all things.
"I know you harbor an attraction to me in this form," Tom whispered in Harry's ear, "Ever since the day we met in here all those years ago in this chamber."
Tom licked the shell of Harry's ear, his breath hot against the coolness that was Harry's skin. Goosebumps erupted up and down Harry's arms, and he had to try his hardest not to let a moan slip from his lips. Tom looked satisfied with this, and Harry blushed a deep scarlet red, not used to attention of that kind.
"So it's a blushing bride we have?" Tom said, "are you a virgin?" he whispered in Harry's ear.
"I-ump-I-," Harry tried to get out, but he couldn't string together a sentence with Tom standing so close; is that cologne? Harry thought.
"I'll take that to be a yes," Tom said. He took a step back and looked at Harry; stormy grey eyes met the green meadows of summer in a battle unlike one to ever happen before, or ever again.
Tom stepped impossibly closer to Harry, so that their breath was floating on the others cheeks. Tom tenitively leaned in and brushed their lips together, just a tease. Harry's breath hitched and his eyes closed as he waited for more. Seconds later, Tom pressed his smooth lips to Harry's chapped ones, adding slow pressure. Harry startled at the kiss, but put his hands on Tom's chest to. He caught Harry's bottom lip between his teasingly before pulling away.
Harry's face was red and flushed, lips swollen and eyes half-lidded with want. Harry grabbed Tom by the shirt and pulled him against him, gaining confidence. He smashed their lips together in a teeth heavy kiss, and Tom's tongue flicked out to trace the line of Harry's front teeth. Harry moaned and allowed Tom's tongue to enter his mouth. He moved his hands from Tom's chest to pull them closer. He grabbed hold of his dark curly hair, giving it a soft tug as an experiment. When Tom growled in response, he took that as a sign.
Tom walked them backwards until they hit the concrete wall, Harry back first. Tom broke the kiss and looked into Harry's eyes and saw them dark with desire. Tom latched his lips to Harry's neck and sucked on his pulse point, ripping a guttural moan from Harry's lips.
Harry blushed deeply when he felt Tom's hand probe lower, past his beltline and over the bulged in his pants. Harry moaned loudly, loving the feeling of being touched for the first time. He tried to push the feeling of low self-confidence away. He pushed his hips forwards into Tom's hand impatient with the teasing.
"My, my, aren't you impatient," he said, his voice low gravel. Tom reattached their lips and Harry noted that he had a faint taste of coffee and mint, and he smelled like some kind of cologne and an old book, which was apparently pleasing to Harry because of how turned on he was.
Harry heard the zipper to his pants being undone and felt Tom's hand reach into his briefs and relieved him of them. He knew he wouldn't last long at this point; his arousal level was through the roof. Tom started pumping him in hand, varying in pressure and speed based on the noises Harry was making.
Harry threw his head back and hit the concrete, but he didn't care. He was on cloud nine, soaring above the stratosphere. He felt his release coming quickly, he was screaming out, "Tom, I love you," before any other rational thought could stop him.
Tom broke away with a choke of laughter, and Harry cast a quick cleaning spell and zippered himself back up. He looked at Tom with a weary look, feeling shame sweep through him.
"Tom?" Harry said quietly.
Tom bit back more laughter as he looked up at Harry. When he met his eyes, he didn't see the soft grey eyes he looked into earlier; no, he saw the scarlet red ones of Lord Voldemort, out of place on Tom's regal face.
"You really are foolish, Potter. You love me, you say?" Tom said, sneering, "you could love the person who killed your parents, your friends?" Tom said.
"Tom, I- it's different-,"he Harry began.
"No, you listen. I'll never love you," Tom said, "can't you see I'm using you, you foolish boy? Or are you that pathetic, to believe someone like me could ever love someone like you. I'm messing with your head to get to you. But you would actually believe I could want you?"
Tom's manic laughter filled the chamber, as Harry's eyes filled with tears, stinging his eyes and fogging his glasses. He blinked, willing them to go away. He straightened his shoulders and held his head high, but when he lifted his eyes back to Tom, he was met with the serpentine features of Lord Voldemort, not the regal features of Tom Riddle. Harry gasped as he looked at Voldemort. Voldemort smiled a vile smile at him and moved closer as—-
Harry jolted awake, tears streaming down his face. He was met with the cold snowy winter of the Forrest of Dean, and he'd fallen asleep with the horcrux around his neck again.
Hermione came from the tent, and looked at Harry, seeing his distress, "Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm okay, just tired," Harry said. He handed her the horcrux and went into the tent. He tried to shake the feel of Tom's lips on his, or the feel of his body on his, but he couldn't. As hard as he tried, he couldn't shake it. Voldemort had found the one way to break Harry, and he had played right into Voldemort's hands.
Maybe Voldemort had found a way to win after all, by using Harry's true weakness.

New Home...Help with Landscaping Plan
We finished building our Utah home about a month ago & are working on a landscaping plan. We have a landscaper & talked with him about what we want. He came up with a plan (see below), but we'd like your critique and also suggestions for trees & shrubs.
Some info on the home:
*Faces north with an east-facing driveway.
*@ 3,500 square feet 2-story on a 1/4 acre lot
*On the corner of a cul-de-sac with no existing neighbors on the lots immediately around us yet (there is a lot behind ours & one on the side)
Some additional notes on landscaping:
*There is an existing parkway strip on all street fronts
*Planning on a white vinyl fence with two gates
*Existing partially-covered 2-level composite deck with wrap around stairs
*A/C on concrete pad on west side of house near SW corner
*We'd love to incorporate at least one Eastern Redbud & a Japanese Maple somewhere in the plan
*We'd like a water feature (perhaps a pondless waterfall), play area for the kids, raised planter boxes for a garden, & some kind of additional seating area. Firepit is not essential since we have a firepit table on the deck, but my husband still likes the idea of having 2.
Some questions about landscaper's plan:
*Right now he has a tree in front of a window near the entrance; we like the idea of a Japanese Maple or Weeping Cherry there, but don't really like the idea of it in front of the window. Any great solutions?
*Don't know if we want the front walk completely bordered by plants as he has it now. Is it too much?
Seems like the beds are too narrow...what are suggested widths for these?
*Any additional ideas for the location of the water feature & patio? Seems like the additional seating area would be nice to have away from the main seating area, but maybe I'm wrong.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Here is the current plan & pictures of the home.
No offense to your landscaper, but he is not a landscape designer. And this is not a landscape plan. It's a plant-selling scheme with little or no comprehension of actual landscape design, in it. The purposeless wiggly bed edges should be the first clue. Unfortunately, it's the standard by which America lives. It's full of flaws and no different than any common "builders" (cheap) landscape (though it will cost you some $$$ to get this yard.) Most people don't even notice. They coexist with these kinds of schemes for about 15 years and then, in disgust, declare that it has outlived it's usefulness (overgrown is the usual adjective applied) and rip it all out and start over. There is a major difference between this and a real landscape design. In contrast, the house looks as though someone thought highly enough of the details to put some funds and effort into the outcome. It'd be a shame to declare the yard not worth the bother of making it half-way decent. But I think that's what this plan does.
Some people pay tens of thousands of dollars to kill themselves with cigarettes and it's hard to conceive of that as good value. That's what bad landscaping reminds me of. Paying good money to buy wrong plants or put good plants in wrong places. It has the practical effect of creating weeds. The tree in front of the window will not be a benefit, but a curse. Ditto for the plants engulfing the walk. This "plan" is spending $0 on design. So therefore, it's a plan for infecting your yard with a lot of "weeds." It'd be so much better for you in the long run to spend some money on design. If it robbed something away from your landscape installation budget, that's still better than spending money to devalue your property. For a few hundred dollars you should be able to get some good planting design help. But be careful to hire a designer who's work you have seen and admire. Compare the work of a few designers. If you want greater assurance of quality, compare the work of those who work in the field of landscape architecture.
This is about the first house that someone's brought to the forum where I didn't feel the need to gripe about the front walk being too narrow. It's nice and a refreshing change!
Redshoetraveler: House turned out fantastic! If you want to see a similar shaped lot with all of the planning done, nearly all of the hardscaping, and just working on the plant material, come on up to our house in the Cove. It is always easier for me to see an (almost) completed project and then determine what my likes and dislikes are from seeing it. It makes for a much faster jumping off point with less second guessing. And if you don't like what we have, that's ok, at least you know what not to put in your yard! Bryan can give your husband our address.

A New Berlin Eisenhower High School student has admitted to making the bomb threats at the school Sept. 25 and 27, New Berlin police announced.
An investigation led School Resource Officer Steve Dodson to the suspect. It has not been determined why the threats were made, police said. Charges will be referred to the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office for review.
The student was not in school Friday, according to a letter that was sent to parents. Due to student confidentiality laws, the school is unable to disclose further details about the student, the letter states.
Both threats were scrawled on bathroom stalls. The first, on Sept. 25, was found shortly before school was to be dismissed. After students left for the day, police swept the building to be sure no bomb was there.
The Sept. 27 threat was discovered at midday and the school went into lockdown. Evacuation wasn't deemed necessary because of the nature of the threat, Principal Michael Fesenmaier said earlier. Again the school was swept and no bomb was found. The sweep was shortly after 1 p.m. and regular activities resumed shortly after 2 p.m.
The police investigation revealed that the student did not have the ability or means to carry out the threat, police said.

US Particle Colliders In Need of Funding 133
from the keeping-the-lights-on dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Sadly, politicians do not realise that.
Research is about finding new things about the universe and this accelerator does not compete with that. They are different machines, made to examine different pieces of the universe and by adding the findings we learn more than if we had only one or two accelerators.
Sadly, funding is tied to "highest energy", "longest tunnel", "highest temperature" and those who cancel the projects do not get that it actually is not about "Hehe, now we showed them damned europeans/americans/chinese/russians!!!1" but about... research.
Yeah 'cause the republitards are so invested in science eh ?
The Dems had full control of Congress and the WH for 2 years, and they still have the WH and the Senate. They spent staggering amounts of other people's money.
Funny how the "Party of Science!!" didn't see fit to bother spending any of that loot on these projects.
Heck, they still could. There's billions of (un)Stimulus money still unspent that Obama could use Executive Orders to direct a tiny fraction of towards these projects and fully fund them.
Actions speak louder than words, and the Dems through their actions are screaming that their political pals getting a boatload of our cash is far more important than science, despite what they say in their talking points on TV.
Truth be told, *neither* party really gives a rip about all that "science stuff" when it comes right down to it, if it doesn't give them some kind of political advantage and/or funnel some cash to an ally.
Stop being so blinded by (D) and (R) partisan distractions. It doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like a mind-numbed drone.

I have a question about the recipe "Gingerbread Beer Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze" from janeofmanytrade. Can you make this cake into cupcakes?
Yeah should be fine.... Cook for one 1/3 of the original baking time usually is a good rule and check with a tooth pick
Why not? My experience: if it can be a cake, it can be cupcake; if it can be a muffin, it can be a tea bread (and vice versa all around). As ZombieCupcake indicates, the issue is typically baking time -- the 1/3 rule (or 3X, depending on the direction you are going) is a good one, with a tooth pick to validate/refine.

Category: French baby names
by Jeanette Soto
The name Jeanette was given to me by my young, hip parents during the infamous Chicago heat wave of 1987. The name had been out of fashion for over four decades and not coming back in style any time soon. The minute I learned how to spell it, I was frustrated by all the other people who couldn't. One girl in grammar school insisted that it should be spelled with a 'G' because it sounded "too hard" to be spelled with a 'J. Most often, people spell my name with one too many N's or one to few T's; misspellings include Jeannette, Janet, Jennet, Jenette, Jenet, Ginette and Ginet, but practically nobody gets it right.
Why did my parents give me a name that wasn't just dated, but came with a slew of spellings? My mother's excuse: Pregnancy amnesia, or brain fog caused by pregnancy hormones. It came over my mother at the time she was trying to remember the name she wanted to give me, so Colette Madeleine morphed into Jeanette Ashley.
What other names have Jeanette's retro -ette ending and unusual style? Here, some choices:
By Anna Otto, Waltzing More Than Matilda
I recently released an e-book called International Baby Names for Australian Parents, to help Australian parents find names that are uncommon, but not strange. My theory was that was a name that had never ranked here, yet was on the charts in other countries, would fit the bill of being seen as both "unusual" and "normal".
Here are some names from the book that have never ranked in English-speaking countries, but are in the Top 100 elsewhere in the world.
Anouk (Top 100 in the Netherlands)
Hip and quirky while still having substance. As a short form of Anna, provides an alternative to that and related names.
Best known from spunky redhead Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley in the Harry Potter books. Romantic and with tons of nickname options, this could also honour a Jennifer, as it's the Italian form of Guinevere.
To check out the latest trends in French baby names, we turn once again to our go-to expert, Stéphanie Rapoport, creator of the popular site meilleursprénoms.com and author of L'Officiel des Prénoms 2014 . For anyone conversant in French, the site is filled with interesting lists, charts and analysis on French baby names. But for those whose high school French is as shaky as mine, we asked Stéphanie to give us a recap en anglais.
Here is the way I see the French baby names for girls shaping up in 2014.
There's a new generation of names popular in Paris, all fresh and chic-sounding beyond the French borders. Will they translate to the English-speaking world? The Francophiles among us might like to try.
These names are widely used in contemporary France and might make exotic choices for a baby in Los Angeles or London.
Amandine – The French Amanda, John Malkovich introduced this lovely name to the wider world when he used this for his now-grown daughter.
Apolline – The Apollo relative was used by J.K. Rowling for a Frenchified character.
Capucine – Once associated with a hypersexy French actress, this ancient name is newly chic.
Clemence – Actress Clemence Poesy has popularized this French version of our Clementine, pronounced clay-mahns.
In the past few weeks, you've seen our predictions for the rising names in the US, and Eleanor Nickerson's forecast of what will be 2013's most popular in the UK; today we look to France's upcoming stars.

But for those whose high school French is as shaky as mine, we asked Stéphanie to give us a recap en anglais.
When it comes to trends, one outstanding factor is that French baby names have never been shorter in length than they are today. In 2013, I see few names having more than five letters and a profusion of names containing only three, such as Léa and Léo, Zoé and Tom.
Sounds are another major component of French naming style. Girl's names ending in "a," not surprisingly, dominate the scene, with nine of them holding the top twenty ranks. More interestingly, the "éo" sound is bouncing back for boys, thanks to Léo and the newcomer Timéo.

"The Very Lonely Firefly" written and illustrated by Eric Carle, Philomel Books, 30 pages
Read aloud: age 2, 3 and older
Read yourself: age 7 and older
One evening, as the sun sets, a little firefly is born. It stretches its wings and sets off in search of other fireflies.
Following different lights, each turns out to be something other than a firefly. A light bulb, a candle, a flashlight, the reflection of animal eyes; all are lights, but none are what the very lonely firefly is seeking. After searching the night sky, at last the little firefly sees what he is yearning for.
Written to convey the message that we all want to belong to a group,"The Very Lonely Firefly" embraces this truism in a subtle, simplistic and complete way.

Read aloud: age 6 and older
Read yourself: age 7, 8 and older
When Anne Carroll Moore was a young girl, children weren't allowed to take books home from the library, and many libraries didn't allow children to even come inside. But when Miss Moore was a young woman, she had her own ideas about the importance of creating children's rooms in every library.
Beginning in 1911 when the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue and 42nd Street opened its doors for the first time, it was Miss Moore who had created the best children's room in all of New York. And she didn't stop there; libraries across America and many places throughout the world began to copy what Miss Moore had started.
A thought-provoking book about the importance of libraries, books and the courage and persistence of Anne Carroll Moore, this selection is a must-read.

In this shot, I did a quick clone-out of the bars of the cage.
Not only did Ebony come and immediately start playing with objects outside the cage but he also would sit on his haunches and take some of the vegetation in his beak and move his head from side to side and up and down, twisting it around his beak. He also played with one of his or his cage mates' big black feathers by taking it in his beak and tossing it in the air and chasing after it. Then, when I held my hand over my head and snapped my fingers, he flew onto the cage again, as he had the last time I was there, as if he knew exactly what I wanted him to do. The children who happened to be standing at the cage were astonished. So was I.
So much so that I called the nature center and spoke to the wildlife director. I wondered if staff had found the bird to be so friendly and playful, too. Kathryn Dudeck told me that this Black vulture is indeed so sociable because he was imprinted on humans when he was a nestling taken from his nest (on the ground) by a park ranger who thought he was rescuing the bird by keeping him and feeding him. Instead, the bird, now imprinted, could not be released into the wild, so the nature center has the responsibility of keeping him alive and well. The other Black vulture in the cage, a 41-year-old female, is the oldest Black vulture in captivity in the U.S., having hatched in 1970. The other bird sharing the cage is a Turkey vulture that arrived at the nature center in 1989 with nerve damage to her right wing, making her unable to fly.
Feeding just the three vultures costs the nature center twelve dollars a day. If you are so inclined, you may make a donation to the Chattahoochee Nature Center. In addition to the rehab-and-release work they do for many types of birds and animals, the wildlife staff cares for non-releasable birds such as Barred owls, Red-tailed hawks, Bald eagles, etc.
*Note: The nature center does not name its critters; Ebony is the name my friend and I gave him.

Seahawks have quick turn after ugly win vs. Titans
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
Pete Carroll understood that from the outside, the Seahawks' win looked pretty ugly.
Whether it was the careless ball security or the Seahawks being unable to pull away until late, there wasn't much aesthetically impressive about Seattle's 20-13 victory over Tennessee on Sunday.
But within the Seahawks' 11th straight home victory, Carroll was encouraged by a better offensive performance and a Seattle defense that didn't allow an offensive touchdown for the second time this season.
''I liked the way it looked from the inside out,'' Carroll said on Monday.
The Seahawks improved to 5-1 for the first time since 2003 and finished their out of conference matchups against the AFC South with a 3-1 record.
Russell Wilson threw for 257 yards and ran for another 61, the third time this season he's topped 300 yards combined passing and running.
Until Tennessee's final drive of the game, the Seahawks had limited the Titans to 154 total yards.
Carroll enjoyed analyzing that part of the win.
But it was impossible to ignore Seattle's flaws, and with little time for corrections as the Seahawks travel to Arizona on Thursday night.
The Seahawks put the ball on the ground five times, although they only lost two fumbles. It was the most fumbles in a regular-season game by the Seahawks since the 2000 season.
For the second straight week, Seattle watched a field goal attempt go back the other way for a touchdown, this time due to a fumbled attempt on the last play of the first half with a backup holder and kicker.
While Carroll didn't seem concerned, Wilson continued to put much of the offense on his shoulders, both running and passing.
Seattle offense finally found some rhythm in the second half with 251 total yards and 17 points, but it came after a choppy start.
Seattle scored touchdowns on just 2 of 5 trips inside the Tennessee 20.
''It's nice to learn while you are winning and I think that's where we are. That's what we're hoping to continue,'' Carroll said.
''I don't know if we'll be able to reach the levels that we saw late last year where we were scoring points at a huge rate. That was an enormous run that we had. But that's good to expect that and I'd like to see that too.
Game plans were already being handed out on Monday for the quick turnaround and trip to Arizona.
Seattle will play consecutive division games in prime time, facing the Cardinals followed by a Monday night game in St. Louis on Oct. 28, and then not see anyone from the NFC West again until December.
The Seahawks may be without defensive end Chris Clemons against Arizona after he hyperextended his elbow late in the game getting caught in a pile.
X-rays were negative and an MRI on Monday showed Clemons had a ''little issue,'' Carroll said, but that it would not require surgery. It'll be a pain tolerance issue for Clemons if he is to play on Thursday.
The other major question for Seattle is middle linebacker Bobby Wagner after he missed the Titans game with a high ankle sprain suffered a week earlier against Indianapolis.
Carroll said Wagner is making progress in his recovery, but might not be far enough along to go against the Cardinals.
If Wagner can't go, K.J. Wright would move from the outside and start his second straight game at middle linebacker.
''We're very fortunate to have the depth to be able to withstand that,'' Carroll said. ''It's worked out well for us.''
Seattle is expecting tight end Zach Miller to practice and play after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury.
Miller was close to being able to go on Sunday, but with the quick turnaround, the Seahawks felt it best to hold him out until Thursday.
And while wide receiver Percy Harvin is eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list and start practicing, it's not expected to happen this week because of the limited practice time.
''He'll be running and doing a lot of stuff this week,'' Carroll said. ''We won't expect him to play this week, but we'll find out how far along he has come.''

China Ups Solar PV Targets
Only 5 days ago, I posted a comment on a web site story looking at the costs and profits of PV manufacturers around the world.
In the article on GreenTech Media, citing research by GTM, the prognosis was that 21GW of PV manufacturing capacity would have to be shuttered because there was simply not enough forecast demand to absorb it. The prospect of many more company collapses was front of mind.
I posted the comment "A question on China; is it not likely and plausible that the Chinese Government could offer protection against collapse by ramping up internal demand through programs? My understanding is that they are willing to let Tier 3 players fade away and that acquisition by Tier1/2 players makes sense if the assets are right, but failing that they could soak up excess with stimulus, right?"
Although I didn't get a response on the web site, I was blown away to read about an announcement today by Renewable Energy World that China intends to lift its targets for PV by 5 times; making their 2015 target 21GW – exactly the excess capacity that GTM were speculating would need to be shuttered. SolarBuzz were quoted as suggesting they thought 30GW was more likely.
To put that in perspective, it means in just 3 years time China will install roughly the same amount of PV in one year, as the ENTIRE WORLD DID IN 2011.
Or put in the local context its equivalent to between 40% and 60% of all the stationary generation in Australia today.
This is the first time we have seen a big jump in forward forecasts for some time; with most pundits seeing a cooling of demand as the market contracts from the extraordinary growth rates of the past few years.
I also posted a story on this topic commenting on how forecasts for the PV industry are so difficult and how industry (myself included) are consistently low on their predictions – 10 x lower looking back in time on average. So it seems China is at least keeping us consistent.
The ramifications of this are highly, highly significant for the world of PV, not only because we are now likely to see around 60GW installed in 2015.
The real ripples "in the mill pond" on this announcement are going to be for PV manufacturers who are unable to take advantage of this new demand and ramp up scale.
Profitability is at a precarious level right now, right across the value chain. The expected exits and consolidation in the industry (before this announcement) were expected to result in less significant price declines in the near term while some profit was recovered.
This has happened before in our world; price have even gone up in the past. It never ceases to amaze me that so many people think that prices will perpetually decline and companies will just keep on making billion dollar losses, year after year and not put their prices up; there comes a time when profit has to rule over growth.
So for those who can get a slice of that China Pie; scale and cost reductions are more secure which should help keep prices down – or at minimum lift margins up.
For those who are on the sidelines and cant sustain the losses and or reduce their costs to compete; well, they are facing a whole world of life threatening, ugly, blistering pain.
Double wow.

"To put that in perspective, it means in just 3 years time China will install roughly the same amount of PV in one year, as the ENTIRE WORLD DID IN 2011."
The way I read it, China's goal is to increase its total capacity to 21 GW, from the current 3.1 GW. That would take an annual increase of about 5 GW/year.

I have watched the Hunger Network succeed in providing consistant assistance to those in need even in the face of sever adversities, such as sharp reductions to its funding. This orgnazation has a large grass-roots following with no list of extremely affluent donors, just a very long list of caring volunteers who give all that they can to end Hunger in one of the Nation's poorest cities. I am extremely proud to be associated with this organization which cares more about changing the lives of those it serves than it does about counting pounds of food distributed. For example, nutrition has always been a top priority for the Hunger Network.

Public Hearing Sale of Town Barn Property Town Hall Auditorium February 5, 2004 Present: Lawrence C. Ross Edward J. Juengst Elizabeth M. Thomas Dana I. Hadley Chairman Ross announced that Selectman Ed Juengst would be conducting the Public Hearing. The Public Hearing began at 7:00p.m. Selectman Juengst thanked everyone for coming and explained the procedures by which he would lead the Hearing. He stated that the Board of Selectmen appreciates input from the public and takes suggestions and comments seriously. He reminded the audience that this process isn't finished, but is a step to answer any questions that the public may have in order for them to make a decision on this proposal at the Town Meeting. He said that the Board is aware that there are a number of questions that people want to have answered and he would try to accept questions from citizens who had not had a chance to speak at the first Public Hearing. By way of background, he explained that the Town has signed a Purchase and Sales agreement with the Richmond Company contingent upon approval at Town Meeting in March. He reminded voters that if this sale is approved at town meeting, there is still a process that will need to be followed. He said the Board of Selectmen intends to exercise the controls which were included in the sales agreement. He said the Board of Selectmen is committed to involving as many people and groups in the project as they can and he affirmed that the developers are also committed to keeping the public informed and involved as well. At this time, Selectman Juengst introduced Mr. Jeff Crocker, Attorney for the developers. Mr. Crocker introduced Phil Pastan, President of the Richmond Company, Linda Castanzo, Stop & Shop spokeswoman, Ray Remillard, Senior Project Manager, as well as Mark Bodi, Gordon Leete, and Andrew Highland who are working with the project developers. Attorney Crocker described the location of the parcel and its current condition. He added that there was a need to purchase more acreage for the mitigation and improvement of the inherent wetlands. He said that this additional land would then be deeded back to the town in the form of a conservation easement. He noted that the purchase price was set at $310,000.00 and that the Purchase and Sales agreement calls for an increase in price of $5,000.00 each month until the sale is finalized, but would have a cap of $350,000.00. He reminded the audience that the question before them is whether or not the Town should vote to allow the Selectmen to sell the land. He said if the voters do not approve Page 1 of 6 the sale, then the Board of Selectmen would not be able to convey the property to the Richmond Company. He stated the purpose of the hearing is to inform the public of the intended use of the property if the sale were to be approved. Mr. Crocker presented maps depicting the area that the Richmond Company would like to acquire for their project. He informed the public that the Warrant Article states that the Board of Selectmen does not have to sell the land if they are not satisfied with the final plans. He described this as an example of the control the Town retains. Phil Pastan thanked the Board for inviting his group to once again have the opportunity to address the community. He stated that their role is to accomplish a project that meets the needs of the community. He then gave out a toll-free telephone number his company established which is available to anyone who might have concerns or questions. The number is as follows: 1-888-625-4714 Gordon Leete, Landscape Architect for the project described the DPW site as being in an environmentally degraded state and said that they are proposing to resolve many of these issues. He then recognized this site as a "gateway" to the Town and said their plans include the beautification of the site as well as other positive changes. He then reviewed the plans to date and offered schematics for public viewing which are also available at the Town House. He went on to say that his group has had several meetings with DPW Director Ed Betz in order to insure any future plans would meet the needs of his department. Included is a plan to eliminate the truck burden on Evans Road by adding a new access route for the snow storage area. It was reported that the proposed improvements and wetlands mitigation were estimated to cost $300,000.00 and that these costs would be borne by the developers in total. Linda Costanza stated that their current store in Peterborough does not reflect the true nature of the company. She said that Stop & Shop is a New England company and the largest grocery retailer in New England and that they had accomplished this by listening to the suggestions of their patrons. As a result, they have updated their stores to create more environmentally sound buildings. Some of the changes include the addition of sky lights reducing the need for electricity as well as using more efficient roofing material to reduce the need for heating and cooling. She said that they utilize a system that reclaims a proportion of heat loss and uses it to heat the water supply within the building. She then gave a visual presentation depicting the comparative size of the proposed Peterborough store to that of other "big box" stores in New England. In her description, she included the various uses within the proposed 65,000 square foot building. She finished by saying that they are excited to be a part of the Peterborough community, and that they are looking forward to bringing the local money spent on food back to Peterborough. Andrew Highland then introduced himself and described the process by which his architectural firm creates a conceptual design. He said they enter the community and document as much of the local character as they can and then use it as inspiration to create a plan that looks like as if it belongs in the town. He then showed some examples of how they had worked with different communities to create viable projects. Page 2 of 6 At this time, Mr. Crocker spoke about the relationship between the proposal and the Peterborough Master Plan. He reported that only 3% of the land in Peterborough is zoned for commercial use and that this small amount provides 27% of tax revenue. He said that one of the benefits of this site is that it uses an under productive commercially zoned property to generate additional tax revenue without taking any new land. He said this helps maintain the level of commercial tax revenue on which Peterborough relies. Secondly, he said this proposal allows Peterborough to control the look and feel of a commercial project as well as improve the environmentally unsound conditions of the site. Additionally, the town will receive conservation easements that would be managed by the Peterborough Conservation Commission. He reiterated that fact that the Board of Selectmen would retain the right to approve the design of the project. Finally, in regard to traffic, Mr. Crocker said that due to State safety requirements, the resultant addition of signals and turning lanes would vastly improve the area's traffic situation, which would be in keeping with the Master Plan. Phil Pastan summarized the proposal by stating its major benefits to the community as discussed. Additionally, he reported that the tax revenue would increase from the current amount of $19,999.00 per year to a projected $214,000.00 and that they were also in negotiations for funding new and better recreation fields for the community. He then thanked the community for allowing them to make their presentation. At this time, Selectman Juengst opened the discussion to the audience. Tom Strickland, a resident, stated that he had come prepared to be opposed to the project but that after the impressive presentation, he was more open to the idea. He said that "seeing-is-believing" and asked where there might be a similar site that he could visit. Linda Costanza responded that there are sites in Lexington and Amesbury, MA and Wilton, CT, which are similar in size and community structure. She noted that the Bedford, NH store is larger than the store proposed for Peterborough. Mert Dyer said that he was concerned with the non-public meetings that have been held between the developers and the Board of Selectmen and he wanted to know who set the purchase price, the buyer or the Selectmen. He sited RSA 91:3A as a concern. Selectmen Juengst said the price was set by negotiation after receiving two appraisals. Mr. Dyer asked if there were any additional expenses to the town in order for the Department of Public Works to continue their operations efficiently. Also the Town's access to the site is over a right-of-way previously established. Attorney Crocker said the Richmond Company would have to attain their own access from the State. He added that in no way does this plan change the operations of the D.P.W. including the size of their area or its access. Selectmen Juengst told Mr. Dyer that the Board had received his list of concerns and questions and that they would contact him with specific answers. Sue Chollet, , said she felt the timing of these negotiations were inappropriate during the Master Plan process. Secondly, she thinks the A&P plaza is a blighted property as well, and that the Town should concentrate on improving that area. Additionally, she said there seems to be inconsistencies with the Master Plan in terms of any new development being of mixed use. She questioned how this proposal would support economic vitality Page 3 of 6 especially in the downtown area. She asked if the store could do with out the addition of a florist and pharmacy department. Ms. Costanza answered that their competitors are not the downtown businesses. She said her company wants the downtown businesses to thrive. She said she couldn't say that they would decrease the store size or eliminate any departments. Mr. Juengst stated that the Board of Selectmen fully supports the Village Commercial District. He said the Board has no direct influence on the owners of the Peterborough Plaza. He reminded the audience that at the last Public Hearing, the Richmond Company explained their attempts at developing in that area and the reasons they sought a different location. Ms. Chollet asked how many jobs would be created in addition to the number of workers the existing store currently employs and what their health benefits would be. Ms. Costanza replied there would be150 positions over and above the current number, and that Stop & Shop is a union store and provides insurance accordingly. Gary Armstrong said he spends forty to fifty hours on economic vitality each week and is a member of the Economic Development Authority. He stated that he supports this project and that he was most impressed with the controls the town retains. He went on to say that he thinks competition is good because it leads to better pricing, service and selection. He added that if this project were approved, it would help create the positive reputation that Peterborough is interested in economic growth. Jack Burnett said he thinks this is a great project and that it fully conforms to the Master Plan. He said he didn't see this as a flash flood of competition that is going to drive all the local businesses out. He said that the local restaurants don't sell food, they sell dining; that the Camera Shop doesn't just sell cameras, they sells photography; and that the local card stores don't sell cards, they sell gift giving. He sees it as an economic high tide that will float the economic boats of a lot of businesses. Peter Gosline, CEO of Monadnock Community Hospital and a resident, said he was speaking as an individual and that he was also concerned with the viability of the smaller stores in Peterborough, but feels this will be a positive change. He said there have been other proposals but that the Town has maximum leverage right now and the ability to make sure the project adheres to our desires. Helen Sullivan, a resident on Mountain View Drive said she has serious concerns with traffic and possible gridlock on Route 101. She also wanted to know what protection the Town has if the sale doesn't go through. Selectmen Juengst said that the project is still subject to Selectmen's approval. Jay Purcell said he commended the group for its excellent presentation. He said as an architect as well, he understood what went in to this project to date. He then said that he thought the issue wasn't really the grocery store itself but what the right location for it is. He said he was surprised that so many people feel that the proposal is consistent with the Master Plan. He asked if it is a smart plan to create a new commercial site that could grow, perhaps leading to a change in the town's character and the possible influx of highway strip development. Tim Kolk said he was not inclined to be against or in favor of the project, but was more concerned that the vote in March is to sell or not to sell. He asked if there was a way to introduce a contingency vote on the final plan. Page 4 of 6 Ed Juengst reiterated that there are other opportunities through out the process for the community to have input. In regard to having a final vote, the plan presented is just conceptual and that once a plan is submitted, it has to follow legal processes which put it in the hands of the Planning Board. Jeff Crocker said that by this presentation it was obvious that the developers have already spent a lot of money. He said that no developer would go through this process if they didn't think there was a willing seller at the other end. He then asked the audience to have faith in the regulatory processes of the Planning Board and Selectmen. Sue Shute then stood and read a letter of support written by Isis Latham, owner of Abracadabra, a toy store in town. In her opinion, the Town needs to take this step but with serious precautions. She felt that these precautions were met in this proposal. Carol Doreski, another resident, expressed concern with the reputation of the Richmond Company. Rick Monahon sited the condition of the two existing plazas as quite in contrast to the downtown. His concern is that a large development will become just additional space to be filled when the store fails. The current situation of vacant stores will only be exacerbated by this development. He was also concerned that any new traffic lights at the entrance would then cause a second light to be installed at Elm Street. He said he would prefer that the skill brought before the town would be used to find a way to bring this proposal to an existing site south of Route 101. Heather Peterson, a resident said she didn't think the Master Plan called for all new development to be of mixed use. She said that since zoning was enacted in 1971, there have been no new commercial zones created. She also clarified that the 3% of commercially zoned property that creates the 27% of the tax revenue of which Attorney Crocker spoke, actually encompasses all non-residential zoned property as well. Joe Broyles said he was very in favor of Public Hearing process and thanked those present for coming and participating. Thelma Clark voiced her husbands concerns that there would be enough land left for the D.P.W. should its needs increase. Public Works Director Ed Betz responded by saying that there would be no net loss in space for their operations with the addition of the proposed project, and that because Peterborough would not likely build any new roads, their needs would not increase beyond the capacity of the current site. He added that there would be enough room to replicate the shed that would be torn down. At this time, Acting Chairman, Ed Juengst thanked the audience and closed the Public Hearing. The time was 9:30 p.m. Page 5 of 6 Respectfully Submitted, Judy L. Blake Minutes accepted by the Board of Selectmen on February 24, 2004. _____________________________ Lawrence C.

Open-Source Compliance
Open-Source Compliance Insurance
In the past few years, some insurance companies started offering insurance services against the legal risks that can result from using open-source software. The insurance policy often is called open-source compliance insurance. The insurance policy (depending on the issuing company) offers coverage for monetary damages, including profit losses related to noncompliance with open-source software licenses and the cost of updating the offending code.
This section presents guidelines to observe when dealing with compliance inquires. These guidelines aim to maintain a positive and collaborative attitude with the requester of compliance information while investigating the allegation and ensuring proper handling in case of license violation. Figure 6 illustrates the recommended steps to follow when dealing with open-source compliance inquiries.
Several companies received negative publicity and/or got sued because they either ignored requests to provide open-source compliance information, did not know how to handle compliance inquires, lacked or had a poor compliance program, or simply refused to cooperate, thinking it was not enforceable. By now, we know that none of these approaches is fruitful or beneficial to any of the parties involved. Therefore, as a general rule, companies should not ignore open-source compliance inquiries. Instead, they should acknowledge the receipt of the inquiry, inform the inquirer that they will look into it and provide a date when to expect a follow-up.
You should understand who the reporter is, the motivation and whether the accusation is accurate or even current. Furthermore, not every reporter understands licenses fully, and sometimes there may be mistakes in the submissions. Make sure you fully understand the inquiry and that you have all the necessary information to isolate the problem and investigate it internally. If that's not the case, ask the reporter to be specific and provide you with the missing details to start your investigation.
Keep an open dialog with the reporter and show that your company maintains rigid compliance practices. Highlighting your open-source compliance program and practices shows a good-faith effort toward compliance. Send updates of your internal investigation when they are available.
After concluding the internal investigation (within an acceptable time limit) through the review of the compliance due diligence completed for the specific software component (or product) in question, inform the reporter of the results.
If indeed there is a license violation as reported, it is your responsibility to resolve the issue with the reporter, while being collaborative and showing goodwill. You need to understand the obligations under the applicable license and show how you will meet the obligations and how soon.
SFLC's Practical Guide to GPL Compliance
On August 26, 2008, the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) published a guide on how to be compliant with the GNU General Public License (GPL) and related licenses. The guide focuses on avoiding compliance actions and minimizing the negative impact when enforcement actions occur. The guide is available at www.softwarefreedom.org/resources.
This article provides an overview of open-source compliance, the challenges faced when establishing a compliance program, industry practices and recommendations on how to deal with compliance inquiries.
Open-source compliance is an essential part of the development process. Start with a simple, lightweight compliance process and practice and learn and adjust as you proceed. Look at common practices for inspiration, but most likely you will make adjustments to fit your specific company's needs.
If you use open-source software in your product(s), and you don't have a solid open-source compliance program, consider this article as a call to action.

i think more people should
i think more people should read this article so that even they can be aware of all these techniques and tricks.
more article on compliance
very good article. open source compliance should be part of the development process and it is often neglected until incidents happen. More articles on this topic would be appreciated.

Religious diversity
Cynthia Allen has it wrong when she says that "we would be well-served to rediscover its value [religion] and return it to a place of significance in American democracy."
Turning the clock back is not the answer. We are not solely a Christian nation; we are a multicultural, diverse and multi-religious state. We need to learn to co-exist with other religions and accept that we also have the right not to believe or worship.
— Thomas Haase,
Fort Worth

out building wiring
dst1158April 3, 2010
My barn is about 200' from my homes electrical entry panel. I want to run a line from the house to the barn large enough to operate a 230v air compressor which has a five horse motor that has an amp rating of 22a and a sfa rating of 25. I just moved here and at my old place I had three phase power to the garage so no issues there. The old fuse panel had two 30amp breakers working together to supply power for the compressor. What size wire would I need to make a run this long with the power requirements I'm looking for. Can anyone help?

Northeast Mississippi Community College softball program knows that timing is everything when it comes to the game on and off the field.
While the Lady Tigers are busy trying to secure a spot in the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) state playoffs, Northeast will also be looking to help a worthy cause in the process and throw a fastball by a tough batter.
Exactly one year since the Lady Tigers held their first StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader on April 8, 2010, Northeast will hold its second annual StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader against Northwest Mississippi Community College on April 8 at Booneville City Park.
"Our players really enjoyed this event and we are excited that this event would happen this year," said Northeast softball coach Jody Long. "Our goal is to generate community awareness, support for our program, educate our players,continue our mission of community involvement and to use our platform to raise money to be used locally to be used in the fight against cancer"
Northeast played its first StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader against Itawamba Community College on April 8, 2010 after Mother Nature postponed the first event from March 12, 2010.
During the first StrikeOut Cancer event, the Lady Tiger softball program raised $1,000 for the Prentiss County Chapter of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event.
StrikeOut Cancer is a national event that is organized by the American Cancer Society and the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) to help raise funds and awareness to fight cancer. The national program uses personal experiences, community leadership and professional excellence of fast-pitch softball coaches nationwide to help increase cancer education and promote healthy living through awareness efforts and fund-raising activities.
Northeast honored one of its own during the first event as cancer survivor Mary AliceCoats threw out the first pitch.
During the 2011 event, Northeast is doubling the stakes as a pair of cancer survivors will be honored during the festivities.
Northeast accounting instructor Robbie Coleman will throw out the first pitch for theLady Tigers while Northeast social science instructor Carla Falkner will serve as honorary coach for the Northeast squad during the doubleheader.
"We want everyone to come out and support their Tigers in our efforts to 'Pink out the Park'," Long said. "Donations will be accepted and we are excited about a great day of softball while raising money for this event."
Northeast's StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader fund-raiser is part of the softball program's attempt to leave a positive impact on the community.
In addition to the StrikeOut Cancer fund-raiser, the softball program has alsoscheduled its seventh annual Racin' Round Booneville/Make-A-Wish Foundation softball tournament for the last weekend in May and is scheduled to continue its tradition of honoring former Northeast head coach David Carnell with a tournament in June.
Prior to the season, Northeast's softball team was active in the community during the off-season cooking for over 500 people at the annual Christmas pancake breakfast, adopting a family at Christmas so that that family's children may share in the joyous holiday or traveling to the local nursing homes to sing Christmas carols to the elderly.
Northeast softball schedules second annual Strikeout Cancer doubleheader

We love the area and had been looking for property to build; not so far away from our home that we would not enjoy it with family, and close enough for a fun weekend getaway. The property we chose became available at a time when we were able to purchase the land and build a small home to our specifications. After 2-3 years of our own sweat and tears, we were able to make that dream come true. We visit as often as we are able, but not as often as we would like, and therefore would like to share it's comfort and location with those who like to come to the slopes in the winter or just kick back and enjoy the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains in any season. We appreciate the opportunity to share our cabin with you should you decide to come stay at Hi Sierra!
Carol and Richard Buckley purchased this cabin in 2005
Close to Ski resorts. Road is always plowed! Even when the highway is closed!! Just minutes to Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch and Royal Gorge. Great recreational area. Homeowners access to Yuba River. Hiking, sledding and recreational activities close!
Property is connected to a green belt for cross county skiing, or walking. Yuba River very short walk. Fishing, and hiking abound. Pacific Coast Trail close.
We had a very restful Christmas at this property. I chose this property due to its closeness to Royal Gorge, this house turns out to be much much better looking than the pictures show: all furniture is real wood, all rooms are decorated tastefully, the entertainment center is equipped with modern systems and tasteful collection of DVDs for adults as well as children. Everywhere is spotless and well-lit, including the walk-in laundry room. 2 bikes and sleds, mittens are thoughtfully provided. I will definitely return for another getaway.
We celebrated our son's 9th birthday here and he had an awesome time. This property is in a great location (there are a lot of activities to choose from), very comfortable, clean, everything we needed was already there, nicely furnished, good quality furniture/linen, cozy, and the owners are very helpful.
My family had a great time, so we're hoping to return next year.
We rented this home last minute as a quick getaway for the holiday and absolutely loved it. It was perfect for our family (2 adults, 3 kids) and had plenty of space for both alone and together time. Great location, if felt like we were completely away from it all but was only 15 minutes to a major grocery store. The house was warm and inviting and comfortable with great internet and a great game collection. We went for long walks on the first two nights and enjoyed snow on the third. It was a great stay and we are looking forward to a return.
We stayed in this home with a family of eight for a destination wedding at the Sugar Bowl Resort. We were a short drive away from the resort, yet secluded enough to enjoy the beautiful setting and quietness of the mountains. My twin 7 year old daughters and 4 year old son loved the card and board games and loft space. The house is spacious yet cozy - we LOVED the fireplace downstairs. All of the amenities were excellent - it really felt like a home away from home. Thank you to Carol and Richard for a great cabin!
My family and I had a great time in Soda Springs. Great location near sugar bowl and Donner Summit. A very comfortable and clean home, with all the necessary amenities. Plenty of room for all. We can't wait to come back in the winter.
We (4 adults, 5 kids) stayed here for a ski weekend at Sugar Bowl. Loved that it was close to skiing and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The cabin has been nicely remodeled and is pleasant to stay in. The advertisement is misleading because they didn't offer the third night free, but we would stay here again.
Just minutes from Ski resorts and trails. Great year round. 12-15 minutes to Truckee. Rock climbing, Donner Lake, Pacific Coast Trail, Lola Montez all nearby.

Has anyone dealt with such an interesting gritty mix?
bkvlad21July 24, 2014
I tried to make my own Al's gritty mix but the ingredients, especially turface is impossible to get without a 3 hour drive. In a local store, however, I found Hoffman Bonsai Soil mix.
I urgently need to replant my jade because it's not feeling too well and also I just found some tiny black and white bugs on it.
This mix is made from haydite, sand pebble, aged pine bark, and turface!
Sounds good to me :D
What do you guys think? Is it comparable to Al's?
greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a
It's better than most....but it's not sifted as well as it could be. I would recommend a sifting over insect screen to remove the fine / dusty particulate.
