With the release of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek this week, there's been a lot of talk about the next one. At this point in the game, there really isn't any concrete information but there is some ideas being thrown about. Sci Fi Wire dished out some information from Abrams himself.
The next Star Trek movie most likely won't be in theaters until 2012. Producer/writer Damon Lindelof thinks there's a small chance it could happen sooner (in 2011) if they get to writing it now.
What about the story? There's talk about time shifts (perhaps similar to LOST?).
Will we see Kahn? There's been hints that they may introduce the characters but they are not committed to that at this point. Coming Soon mentioned that they 'heard' that Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert on LOST, Batmanuel on The Tick) was being considered (even though it's not definite Kahn will appear).
"One of the things we like to do as storytellers is drop you in the middle of something," Lindelof said. "And the question that you're asking yourself is: Where am I in relation to the last time I left these guys? Could this be something that predated even, perhaps, some of the adventures that they had in the first movie? Does it happen five years later? Is it happening two seconds later? Who knows? So we're not going to tell you."
Apparently Spock and Uhura will see more of their relationship explored.
What about the speculation that Abrams might not direct? Abrams says he has every intention of directing it. But since there's no script, it doesn't make sense to talk about directing it right now. He says "in theory," he'll be available.
What would you want most in the next Star Trek movie?
On an unrelated note: here's the R2-D2 cameo from the first film if you haven't already seen it:

Nicolet Superintendent Rick Monroe will retire at the end of this school year, the district announced in a news release this morning.
Monroe, who has been Nicolet's Superintendent since 2007, announced his retirement at a special faculty and staff meeting today.
"I've been thinking about it since August, and over Thanksgiving break I had time to think and reflect on it," Monroe said. "I said 'yes, the time is right.'"
Monroe began his education career in 1976 in the Milwaukee Public Schools system as a special education teacher. He served in MPS for 19 years before becoming Principal of St. Francis High School and later Shorewood High School.
At this point, Monroe said he isn't considering any other employment options after retirement, and timed his announcement to allow the school board to find a suitable replacement by the beginnning of the 2013-14 school year.
He said that he will focus on moving forward with district goals and the district's goals and strategic plan before his retirement.
"I have six months left," Monroe said, "and I want to make them the most productive six months in my career."
Monroe's retirement will be effective July 30.

FROM THE ASSEMBLY: New health tax included in budget; ethics debate ethics must be had
We have heard a lot from the governor's office about the success of New York's health exchange. The exchange was set up pursuant to the Affordable Care Act, which mandates that all Americans obtain health insurance. The exchanges, which are either set up by individual states or by the federal government (when a state decides not to opt into the program), are, in theory, supposed to provide a market for people to purchase health insurance. New York, pursuant to an executive order of the governor, set up its own exchange. Compared to other states and to the federal government's system, New York's exchange has had fewer reported problems.

The first courthouse in Fernie was a shack put up in 1880.
In 1889, they decided they needed something bigger, so they built a 28' X 28' structure that housed a courtroom, judge's chamber, four jail cells, a guardroom, and a constable's office. Do the math on that 784 square feet. Finally, in 1908 they put this one together.
This was the coal company headquarters. Now it is city hall. When this town burned down once in 90 minutes, 500 people took refuge in this building and survived.
The town burned a couple of times (1904 & 1908). After the second one, they rebuilt things with brick.
There were a lot of disasters in this area and the legend is that the place was cursed by the native indians. One story is that Bill Fernie was courting an indian princess because he wanted to know the origin of the black stones on her necklace. Once he found the local coal seams, he stopped seeing her. The local medicine woman then put a curse on the valley. These pix from the Fernie website show the image of a ghostrider that appears on a local mountainside. The ghostrider is apparently looking for Bill Fernie.
In 1964 there was a public ceremony to officially lift the curse. Some of the local tribes and citizens got together in town and the mayor and a chief smoked a peace pipe to end it all.
Don't bother going to the historical society - recently burned. Maybe that peace pipe thing didn't cover everything.
Fancy railroad depot.
Restored timber derrick.
These two establishments could keep me occupied for a while.

Fernie to the US Border
You follow a nice gravel road on the east side of the river south out of Fernie. A pretty scenic ride.
Once you hit the paved highway, you can treat yourself to some ice cream.
Good camo on these sheep. They blend well with their surroundings. There are two ewes here peeking around a rock at me.
These sheep at lower altitude seem much better groomed.
Some pix I took on the way north (in the rain) and some I took on the way south (in fair weather). I tried to post them in route order so they are mixed a bit.
Fly fisherman on a float trip.
At one time there were two separate railroads that served this narrow valley. This was the result of a personal fued. One Canadian born railroad exec thought the trans-Canada railroad should avoid trying to blast its way around the north side of Lake Superior and run through the UP of Michigan instead. (By the way the King's Highway - a trans-Canada route - ran through the UP until the 1960s.) An American born railroad exec understood the political realities and advocated the route stay in Canada. When the Canadian route was selected, the UP advocate swore revenge. There is a long story, but the short version is that he was able to get the Great Northern railway to run into Canada in this valley to compete with the Canadian railway - simply out of spite. When things went bad market wise, the Great Northern couldn't get out of there fast enough. When the market changed back many years later and the Japanese wanted coal, the Great Northern tried to get back in but they were blocked by the Canadian government who wouldn't give them rights-of-way on crown land.
Back at the border.
And so concludes the Canadian portion of the GDR. Now on to Montana.
As I mentioned, I will post GPS files for people to download that cover the entire GDR. One file will contain everything (including the bike routes) which can be useful for general planning, and the other will be a ready to load file for anyone that wants to embark on the trip. I just need to polish the files up a bit before I post them.

Montana - Eureka to Polebridge
On your way through Eureka it is worthwhile to stop at this historic park in town. This cabin is of the type used in the 1920s and 1930s for "smokechasers" and others who worked in remote forests. They were resupplied by mule pack trains from time to time. This cabin was 9 miles from the nearest road and was built in 1928.
Sometimes a galvanized telephone line was strung nearby for reporting fires and the like.
Eureka was once known as the Christmas tree capital of the world. It was founded in the early 1800s. I guess a Canadian trapper went through here looking for a route to the Pacific in the early 1800s. Every April the hold a rendezvous to commemorate his visit.
An early fire lookout.
More modern versions had metal cabs of varying, but standard, designs.
I've used several luggage set-ups on different bikes. This time I went very simple. Worked quite well. Important to use ratchet straps to keep things in place though.
When you first start out, you are on pavement. A nice road nonetheless.
Once you get into the National Forest, you find that they just laid down a long stretch of asphalt as well. Still a nice ride.
Things turn to gravel soon enough.
The roads notched into the hillsides are great.
Forest fire damage.
The wide road to Polebridge.
Touristy, but nice.
Great bakery items. Some of these sweet rolls are vegetable concoctions.
A few staples are available at the store.
I left a few CannonCard tags along the way.
They've also got hot sandwiches.
I met this gentleman at the store. He works for the Adventure Cycling Association. In fact, he does their maps. He was on a bicycle tour that took him to various lookouts where people were allowed to stay. Nice fellow. He invited me to the Adventure Cycling Headquarters when I was in the area.

Cannonshot, truly enjoying the ride. You do a superb job. Can you tell us a little bit about the border crossing? For example, does one really need a U.S. passport? How about insurance, etc? Thanks.

Cannonshot, WOW! Thank you for such an insightful and informative documentation of your adventure. I really enjoy all the history of the towns and that you took time to take in the local flavor. Your report is a very valuable and much appreciated resource for fellow adventures, such as myself, who have the desire to ride the Great Divide.
It is nice to see the KLR all loaded up! My 08 KLR has always done everything I ask of it, never complains and never skips a beat.

What I would do for a trip like this is do a quick search for crossing information. There are a ton of sites that offer current information and answer "frequently asked questions".
Here is an example: http://www.canadawelcomesyou.net/faq.html
I did have my registration and proof of insurance along, but no one seems to ever ask for it.
My experience going in was pretty straightforward. The usual questions about weapons, gifts, etc. People with an OWI/DUI conviction could have a problem if this came up. He asked for my passport (probably a scan). Also photographed my plate and confirmed what state it was from. I'm sure the border guy was familiar with the nature of the trip I described as my profile is probably common at that crossing.
Coming back was the usual stuff. All vehicles ahead of me were being searched. I wasn't. Passport/plate scanned. Most questions were about whether or not I was bringing anything back from Canada. Also an inquiry about my trip. Again, I probably fit a common profile for that crossing.
No hassles in either direction. Professional folks at the crossing.
I have read that some licensed people carry a weapon sometimes and it is common practice for them to store it at a gun store in Eureka for a $10 fee while they are in Canada.
Some people ask about bear spray since pepper spray as a personal protection article is prohibited. I don't think bear deterrent spray (labeled as such) presents a problem since it is sold all over in this area on both sides of the border. After all, this is grizzly country and many people camp and hike in this region.
That should cover most questions that might come up.

Polebridge to Hungry Horse Dam
Whitefish Lake
Whitefish has some significant rail operations.
The Whitefish rail station was built by the Great Northern in 1927. The railway dumped it on the historical society in 1990. Now they lease back some second floor space. It is an AMTRAK station as well as a museum.
This "bruck" (bus-truck) was specially designed for the railroad by Freightliner. It was used to serve passengers from Kalispell 15 miles to the south. There used to be some kind of marginal train called the "Galloping Goose" that covered that 15 miles, but it was dumped in favor of the bruck.
It was nicely furnished and could handle 21 pasengers and their baggage (plus some freight and mail). I think it ran about six trips a day.
They have some other interesting rolling stock parked in the yard as well.
Logging is big in this area.
An interesting side trip just off the route is the Hungry Horse Dam.
This is a Bureau of Reclamation project. It established important flood control in the valley. The dam is 564 feet high and is the 10th highest in the US.
The reservoir is 34 miles long and 23,800 acres.
The dam contains three million (plus) yards of concrete.
There is a visitor center with free tours.
A road crosses the top of the dam.
The valley downstream.

I did get my new Juki sewing machine, and it's AWESOME, but there is a glitch in the sewing speed setting, so I need to get it replaced. I had hoped it would speed up my sewing, but until the replacement comes, I'm stuck with my old machine. The new one is HUGE and so pretty, so I really hope the replacement works right and comes fast! Once I have one that works, I'll do a post about it, but I need to have a chance to see what it can really do!

Andy's P.O.V
Ashley kicked the door to my room open, still carrying me, and dropped me onto my small single bed. Fortunately the lights were off so I couldn't see his face but I could feel him, feel the heat radiating from his palms through the skimpy fabric of the robe I still, frustratingly, had on. Those hands wandered down my sides until they reached my knees, pushing them up then spreading my legs wide.
The bed dipped as he crawled onto it, bracing himself over me, then taking my lips in a kiss. I shifted around underneath him, trying to at least loosen the knot that held my hands prisoner but to no avail. I moaned a little as he bit at my lip ring, asking for entry which I gladly gave him, our tongues colliding together until I was gasping for breath. Ash chuckled and moved off me a little, suddenly the whole room was illuminated with light, he had turned the light switch on.
He grinned at my shocked expression then sat up on his knees, tugging me up by my arms and delicately gui

The nineteen year old's makeup was perfect, and he was truly beautiful underneath it all. His saphire like eyes always shone like a toddler's. Though, it saddened me because I heard his cries at night. He thought I was asleep, but I really wasn't. I knew what he did at night.
'You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the door. Don't need make up to cover up, being the way that you are is enough.'
He giggled as I turned up the radio. It was some older rock song I didn't know, his deep voice started to sing along. I kept an occasional eye on him as I drove.
"Andy," I started.
"Yes, Ash?"
"I love you." I smiled, if he only knew I loved everything about him.
He chuckled, "I love you too!"

He could feel sweat and dry, cracked warpaint clinging to him, and he felt dirty, and far too hot.Strength In Numbers - Bridecest3 years ago in Romance More Like This
His head was pounding, but as a rockstar Jinxx was used to the feeling. Sitting up, he felt the thin white sheet that had covered him fall down his small torso, revealing his bare chest. Jinxx usually slept naked, so this didn't worry him, however, after struggling to think through his aching skull, he realised that he didn't know where he was.
As he shifted, a pain began to make itself known in his lower back. Jinxx clenched his teeth and grunted softly, bringing his hand down to rub the small of his back.
What had happened the night before, Jinxx didn't know. His thoughts were hazy, and his brain felt like mush, as though it had been chewed on and spat out. Blinking, Jinxx tried to open his eyes further, rubbing away the sleep from them.

I walked into the strip bar with my hands deep in my pockets. I always went into this bar I guess it just had a homey touch to me. A girl greeted me and escorted me to a seat, I ordered a Jack Daniels and coke and allowed myself to clear my head. Through my thoughts I heard someone clear their throat, I looked up and saw a boy standing over me, a waiter. His long black hair stuck out in ruffled, fluffy angles atop his head which reached past his slender shoulders, he had creamy white skin and eyes that looked like an artist had crushed blue sapphires into them. His shapely body was nearly exposed by the short, tight black dress he wore his legs covered by black stockings and a garter rested high on his thigh. He bent gracefully to place my drink on the table then straightened, I made a turn around motion with my finger and he complied bending down a little, exposing more of his creamy skin.

Me and Ash were out shopping, first time in awhile since we had just stopped touring. All was going well until Ash spotted Victoria's Secret across the street.
"Oh Victoria's Secret, I've been dying to get you in there," he grinned as he pushed me towards it.
"I'm sure you have!" I teased, allowing myself to be carted along by my sexy boyfriend. He pulled me through the double doors and into the largish shop, it had bra's and panties galore, lace, silk, satin you fucking name it they had it...no wonder Ash likes this shop so much. I made a side-step movement to try and get out the shop but Ash gripped my upper arms and propelled me towards a panties section.
"Now I know how much you like your panties," he teased, brushing his lips along my ear.
"Yes I like panties not a piece of cloth on a fucking string!" I teased back, picking up a would be thong.
"I think you'd look sexy in them," he commented, nuzzling his nose and lips in my neck.
"You would," I teased, looking at him
CC's Sleepover - JakinxxtianI'm not sure what I was expecting.CC's Sleepover - Jakinxxtian2 years ago in Romance More Like This
I had gotten Jake and CC to be friends after I'd been friends with them for a while. I never introduced them to eachother until a while ago, they became good friends...like, closer to eachother than they were with me. CC invited us to a sleepover, his parents were out for the weekend and spring break was just starting. Of course Jake and I were eager to sleep over at CC's house. He always had the best parties. Just playing videogames over there made your week. Of course, his company made it worth while. CC is a really fun person. As is Jake. Me...I'm just Jinxx.
After we snuck a bottle of his dad's Jack Daniels we were all kind of feeling funny. I got really dizzy and loopy. CC pretended to be an airplane for a bit while Jake did...something. I can barely recollect what was all going on until I passed out then woke up a few hours later.
I heard steady creaks coming from the sofa. Me being on the floor I couldn't see anything. I sat up, shaking my head

All I was doing was driving. I wore a seatbelt, went the speed limit, the rode was perfectly empty.
I saw flashing red and blue lights. My eyes flicked to the rear view mirrior, seeing a cop motorcycle pull up behind me.
"The fuck?" I slowed down, pulling off into the gravel on the side of the rode.
The police officer swung his leg off the crotch rocket and began walking toward my car. He wore short shorts and a blue shirt--short sleeves--and black shiny stilettos. black 70's sunglasses covered his eyes and a fake mustache sat on his upper lip.
Oh my god, I knew this guy. I've seen stories about him...
He tapped on the window with a long, manicure'd nail. I rolled down the window, trying to look innocent. "Hello officer."
"You know why I pulled you over?" he said, leaning over and resting his elbows on the side of the door. He smelled like AXE.
"I think my tail light is out..." I looked in the rear view mirror again.

That night, Jon took us to a hotel. We had somewhat of a party in our room before the guys all went to their rooms for the night. CC had picked up a guy and a girl for the night, kudos to him. When everyone was gone and a good ways down the hall I tackled Andy to the bed.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" I smiled kissing him.
"About a million times tonight, but I could stand to hear it again." He smiled at me, his blue eyes shining in the dim light of the lamp on the table.
"I love you so much. You're my world, my everything and I can't wait to spend an eternity with you." I smiled.
"You make it sound like I'm about to convert you into a vampire." He laughed.
"Maybe you are, Count Biersack." I chuckled.
"I vant to make you my lover forever Ashley Purdy." He kissed me again.
"And I would gladly be your lover forever."

"Okay, so when is...." My eyes glanced down at the paper I held in my hands. "Ashley Purdy getting here?" I asked CC, who sat at the side of me.
"He will be here soon, don't worry Andy." He reassured me.
A few minutes passed, before I heard the door bell ring. Bouncing up from the couch, I dashed over to the front door and opened it.
Stood in the doorway was a short man. Shoulder length black hair. Gorgeous sun kissed skin. Deep caramel eyes. Sweet pink smile.
"Hi, I'm... Er, Ashley. I'm here to audition." he smiled at me.
Love at first sight.
"Erm, Ashley? Can.... Can I talk to you?" I asked him. It had been six months since ash had joined Black Veil Brides, six long months of hiding my feelings for him. I watched him stand up from the couch in my living room and trot over and into the kitchen, where I stood.
"Yes andy?" he smiled up at me, his eyes holding a puppy dog look.

"How about Dennis if it's a boy." I smiled pushing the cart down the isle. Ash and I have been married for seven years and a little over nine months ago we decided to have a baby. He was visiting his Mom and Dad for a while.
"Great. And Ashlynn if it's a girl." He laughed into the phone. "I miss you."
"I miss you too. Come home soon though, I've got good news for you." I was bubbling over. I wanted to tell him the news, but I had to wait until I saw the expression on his face.
"I'll be back tomorrow night. Wait up for me?"
"I will."
"Love you baby."
"Love you too Ashley. Bye." I hung up the phone and went down the isle for toys. I couldn't wait until Ash was home.
"Baby, I'm home." I heard him call from the front door. I ran down the stairs and jumped into his arms. "I missed you so much." He smiled. We moved into a house in a small suburb a few years ago when we started talking about babies.

"Nothing. Just letting out some rage." I want him. No. I need him so bad. I'm sick of his teasing and his constantly touching himself and me. I don't care what happens to my reputation after this, but I need to fuck him.
"Hey Andy, can I talk to you about something real quick?" He smiled grabbing the bag and rolling the office chair over to me. That bag is still scary. I don't want to know what's in it.

It had been three weeks. I still hadn't got over the fact that he'd cheated and left me for that bitch. I slowly got up and walked over to my mirror. I looked like your typical teenage girl who had just gone through a breakup, even though I'm a 20 year old guy. I was in my Hello Kitty pyjamas, the ones that he bought me on our 1 year anniversary. I remember opening them in a crowded restaurant and squealing in delight. He had shown just as much happiness when he opened his Batman pyjamas. That was four years ago today. I had asked him what he'd wanted for our anniversary this year, but he said to not get anything too expensive. I now saw why. I felt so stupid; I had actually gone and bought a ring! I was going to propose to him today! A fresh wave of tears fell down my face as I remembered what had happened.
I was getting worried. Andy should have been back hours ago. He'd only gone to see his parents for a few hours. I would have gone with him but I had work and his dad didn't really

Below me, people had swarmed, and several police cars and ambulances were on standby. They'd only just arrived, and everyone was watching me -a small figure from their view- shouting out things like "Holy shit?" and "Don't jump!" Ha, like I'd listen to them.
I dragged the back of my hand roughly over my eyes, wiping away tears. I couldn't do this any more; this...facade. It was too much.

Andy was being a bitch and not giving me my car keys. He held them above my head so no matter how high my drunken ass jumped I couldn't get them. He flicked his wrist, making the small metal plates jingle together.
"Ashley you'll kill someone if I let you drive, now shut up and get in." he said, giving me his protective boyfriend eyes. I groaned, putting my arms down and walking awkwardly to the other side of the car.
"Fuck you and your safety." I said, crossing my arms as I sat in the passenger. Andy put his arm around the head of my seat as he backed out of the parking space, driving perfectly out of the lot.
"I'm protective because I love you." he said, keeping his eyes on the road.

Ashley's voice cut through my thoughts, breaking the trance I'd been in. Blinking, I connected with the real world once again.
My stomach had a weird feeling in it- a sinking feeling that made me feel as if I was about to throw up, and there was a lump in my throat that wouldn't leave, no matter how many times I tried to make it go away.
Right as he opened his mouth, CC on his lips, I finally managed to swallow the lump, and spoke, "I-I...wow..."
Ashley snorted, but you could tell he was pissed off. Ashley always got this weird look in his eyes when he was angry, or annoyed. This glint that lit up his eyes in a menacing light, a disturbingly different spark than the kid that made his chocolate orbs glow when he was happy.
His thin, tattooed fingers had been holding up his shirt for the past ten minutes, while I gathered my thoughts, and my eyes flickered down to look at his sun kissed stomach.

I sat in my front yard. This is the first time in ages I was actually this close to the house, everyone was asleep from what I could sense. I could see CC asleep on the couch with the Xbox controller in his hand, his mouth open and drool falling down the side of his cheek. The upstairs bedroom lights were off, Jake and Ella were asleep. I could hear the soft gentle breathing of the English model and Jake's snoring. Most comfortingly though, I heard the gently wisps of breath coming from Ashley. He always breathed quick and short, like a kitten. After all, I didn't call him Purdy kitty for nothing.
I sensed things, I never heard to smelled. I could see, but everything was black and white or black and beige. I could somewhat make out colors, but not very easily. I could feel too, nothing but cold and loneliness. Sometimes other things, not even at the least happy or hopeful. Longing, sorrow, panic, it could be anything. But not happiness....never hap

All the muscles in his body relaxed and he slumped back against the steps, enjoying the few moments of silence that he never got. Tours were always busy, and when you're basically living on a bus, you were always with people. Andy took in every chance of solitude he could on these crazy stage nights.
Andy was just finishing his cigarette when he felt a prescence behind him. He turned his head to glance behind him and smiled when he saw his bassist and good friend, Ashley Purdy, standing behind him.
"Tut tut Andrew" Ashley chuckled running a hand through his long hair. "Cancer sticks I'm telling you.". Andy rolled his eyes but laughed at his fellow bandmate. "I'll light up another one if you're not careful". He noticed that Ashley was waving his hands in front of his face,

That was the only thing going through Ashley Purdy's head right now. It swam around his brain and completely smothered him in the idea. In his mind's eye he could see the black waves, feel the cold water and sense the crushing darkness. The end seemed sweet.
It was nearing midnight and the streetlamps, covered with gum and graffiti that were glowing a bright orange, illuminated Ashley's path, his path to the bridge and his path to the afterlife. His footsteps were the only sounds he could hear and he trudged slowly, his mind in the clouds.

Available for Conrad Wimmer:
Conrad Wimmer was born in Vienna on June 15, 1844 and died in Munich on June 17, 1905. Wimmer is considered a painter, engraver and watercolorist from the German school.His main subjects landscapes and marine scenes. Conrad Wimmer received his formal art training from Peter Johann Nepomuk Geiger (1805-1880) at the Vienna Academy.In 1862, he traveled to Dusseldorf to study landscape painting. While in Dusseldorf, Wimmer met fellow student Ludvig Munthe (1841-1896). Although, Munthe and Wimmer were very close in age, Munthe had a more mature approach to landscape painting and he became the single largest influence on Wimmer's development as an artist. They traveled the countryside painting winter and autumnal landscape full of natural beauty and atmosphere.Wimmer then traveled to Paris to exhibit in the Salons. While is France, Wimmer added a more sensitive approach to his landscapes. These subtle changes to his palette helped him win a first class medal at the Universal Exposition of 1878. Wimmer also exhibited in Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam and London. In 1872, he was awarded the gold medal at an exhibition in Berlin and he was awarded a medal in both the 1876 and 1894 exhibitions in Vienna. Wimmer continued his successes in London and Amsterdam.Submitted by Wayne Kielsmeier of Covington Fine Art

"Call Tutti Sherlock." For decades, reporters like myself who started their careers at the Post-Bulletin in Rochester were given this bit of advice anytime they were writing about early childhood issues.
As the longtime executive director of the southeast Minnesota's pioneering Child Care Resource and Referral agency, Tutti Sherlock Harrington was a personable, nationally recognized expert on topics parents care deeply about: school readiness and finding quality day care.
Minnesota parents may not realize it but they owe a debt of gratitude to the longtime Rochester resident, who passed away last week at the age of 78. Her pioneering work continues to help thousands of families find good day care for their children. Her organization was one of the very first in the nation to organize and provide information for parents looking for child care. The organization also assists providers, giving them guidance on everything from making the day care safer to serving more nutritious meals.
A working mom herself, Sherlock Harrington recognized the need for this information elsewhere. She went on to play a critical role in founding the statewide Minnesota Child Care Resource and Referral Network, as well as a national organization with the same mission. Counties across Minnesota are now served by agencies like hers.
I always felt more comfortable than most Post-Bulletin reporters in making that call to Sherlock Harrington. I'd come across her organization when I hired on at the newspaper in 1991. At the time I had a preschooler and I needed to find a day care provider in the Goodhue County community I was moving to. The paper's human resources director directed me to Child Care Resource and Referral. Their office provided just what I needed: a list of licensed day care providers in the area and information about them. I interviewed several, and felt good about the decision I'd made. My son's now in college, but I'm still friends with the provider I chose long ago.
The word visionary is often overused, but Sherlock Harrington truly was one. She began her work in an era where it wasn't common to have both parents work outside the home. But she saw the changes ahead and took commonsense steps to help families continue to thrive. I'm one of many moms grateful for her work and to have known her.

Need Advice on Stripping Carved Table and Chairs . . . Please!
I'm new to this forum, but a regular over on the Kitchens and Decorating forums. I have a dining room set that's pine and has a lot of carving on it. It's Southwestern, 18 years old and was originally whitewashed. I love this set, but really dislike the ww finish on it. Is there any saving it? I'd like to strip it and restain it a darker color, more in keeping with the antique mahogany chests of drawers there behind it. It was handcarved for us, but the craftsman moved out of state over ten yrs ago, so he's no help.
Here's a couple of pics of the set, so you can see all the sanding I'd have to do.
So, is there any method available that will actually strip a piece like this without all the intense hand-sanding on this big table and it's six matching chairs?
I saw a product over on Van Dyke's Restorers that's a paste, so there's no dripping. It claims to be able to take off up to 32 coats of paint at one time. Have you heard of it? Used it? Does it work?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Many thanks,
Wow, that's a lot of work ahead of you. Even if the stripper worked perfectly, you have to get _it_ out of all the carvings and details, and then you have to be careful with them when you sand, stain and finish. I looked at a set _very_ similar to this a couple of years ago (Was it you????) and declined the job due to the amount of hand-work making it impractical.
Pine is never going to look like mahogany. The "casual" form of this piece is also inconsistent with the formal finish on the mahogany pieces.
Have you considered either a glaze or black paint?
Well, it might have been me, if you're the guy who does the custom touch-up work for Branch Cabinetry (and if it IS you, I'll be calling you very soon for different work for us here).
I'm not aiming for my the antique pieces to match or even look like mahogany. . . just much darker would be a good start. I'd already thought about using Minwax's Gel Stain, but was then told it would chip off too easily on a dining room table and chairs that are used every day. Same with black paint. If you can tell me a way to avoid the chips, I'm ready and willing to go that route instead. No one is going to want to buy this set from me in it's present condition, even though it's wonderfully carved and made well. And, it looks too odd for us to keep it as is with the new antique pieces. I'd love to go with an antiqued black look. Any ideas now???
That is the ugliest finish I have ever seen on southwestern style furniture. It looks like wall paint. I used to work for a southwestern furnishing company in the 90's and we never painted anything like that.
All I can suggest is Jasco paint and epoxy remover and lots of steel wool. A sharp narrow chisel can help scrape out the inside detail. Hold the chisel straight up and drag the blade against the wood, scraping away the surface- but it won't gouge if you hold the handle straight up in the air and scrape toward you.
It's not a solid white "paint" that I see on that...it's more fo a wash....
Does it have to be solid black? Or solid brown?
I would take a mix of laquer thinner and shellac thinner...the proportions vary according to your finish and just sop it on and wipe off the old finish. I wouldn't attempt to strip it clean....but just to get some of the white off.....then wipe it with a very dark stain....the tone of which depends on what you want.
I wouldn't attempt to make it a "painted" set but rather darken it so it blends a bit more with your antiques and gives your room an ectlectic look rather than mis-matched.

Casey Stengel stands up for his Yankees in 1955 while managing them to 10 American League flags. AP View Enlarged Image
Casey Stengel's confidence in himself never wavered.
Plenty of others doubted him after his early managerial jobs.
In three years with the Brooklyn Dodgers and six with the Boston Braves, he produced only one winning season.
Then the storied New York Yankees came calling.
And when he took over the team at age 58 in 1949, many in the press sounded off that he was a loser and a clown due to his colorful personality and antics.
Wrong on both counts.
Over the next 12 years, Stengel produced 10 American League pennants and seven World Series triumphs — including five straight from 1949 to 1953 — staking his claim to the Hall of Fame and the title Greatest Living Manager, as voted during baseball's 1969 centennial.
Directing Talent
Stengel hadn't changed much. What he had was better players to implement his philosophy.
"I had to play my own system," Stengel (1890-1975) wrote in his autobiography, "Casey at the Bat," "and my system was platooning."
Stengel's sometimes comic ways, sounded off in twisted syntax called Stengelese, belied a sharp, disciplined baseball mind. He studied his players' strengths and weaknesses, those of the opponents, regularly played the lefty vs. righty percentages and kept it simple.
"I don't think we would have won pennants without it," he wrote of platooning his players to put the Yankees in the best position to succeed.
While superstars Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra weren't subjected to platooning regularly, he noted, "I kept shifting my lineups and batting orders from game to game."
Jerry Coleman, who played second base nine seasons, all for Casey, told IBD: "Stengel knew more about you in one week than you knew about yourself in 10 years. He understood his players better than any manager I know and what they could do for him in a given situation."
The last of Stengel's champions presented special urgency. His Yankees fell behind three games to one to the Milwaukee Braves in the 1958 World Series — a year after those Braves nailed his team.
Yet Stengel didn't panic. He stayed with what he believed would work and led the Yankees back. They took Game 5 at home, then won the next two on the road for his seventh world title.
Stengel deflected the credit.
"I couldn't have done it without my players," he said, as quoted on CaseyStengel.com.
Bobby Brown, a third baseman for Stengel in the early 1950s before becoming president of the American League, lauded his old skipper: "He had the ability to put a player in the right place to do the most good at the right time. Also, he made sure we were fundamentally sound."
From his first season to his last game 40 years ago this March 31, John Wooden stayed true to his values. Wooden (1910-2010) was truly a living legend when he died at 99. Among his numerous honors, the Sporting News in 2009 named him the Greatest Coach of All Time. Wooden won a record 10 national ...

It's been a turbulent 24 hours for the dollar after the Federal Reserve offered an unexpectedly dovish view of the economy, revising down growth and inflation forecasts. Fed members also gave their forecasts for interest rates which pointed to a more gradual pace of hikes than in December. The euro rallied more than 4% against the dollar following the release of these economic projections in two waves, one shortly after the release and another after the press conference following a brief...
A more dovish than expected FOMC on Wednesday provided a boost to equity markets in the US and Asia overnight and it appears to be filtering through to Europe as well, with futures pointing to a largely positive open on Thursday. While the Federal Reserve opted to remove its pledge to be ?patient' in raising interest rates, which effectively means a rate hike could come as early as June, its economic projections more than offset this and gave the impression of a more dovish stance than was...

Probably won't order the surfaces they used, but would love to find something to paint them on. OMG! Can it really be time to think about Christmas projects already? Time just goes way too fast! Luvs

What Scares Google?

As SEOs, we spend too much time living in fear of Google. Like any company, Google has weaknesses, and it's important for us to have perspective about their future (and how it impacts our own future). Here are six things that I think Google fears.

I have a mesh grid defined as
[X, Y, Z] = meshgrid(-100:100, -100:100, 25); % z will have more values later
and two shapes (ovals, in this case):
x_offset_1 = 40;
x_offset_2 = -x_offset_1;
o1 = ((X-x_offset_1).^2./(2*Z).^2+Y.^2./Z.^2 <= 1);
o2 = ((X-x_offset_2).^2./(2*Z).^2+Y.^2./Z.^2 <= 1);
Now, I want to find all points that are nonzero in either oval. I tried
union = o1+o2;
but since I simply add them, the overlapping region will have a value of 2 instead of the desired 1.
How can I set all nonzero entries in the matrix to 1, regardless of their previous value?
(I tried
normalized_union = union./union;, but then I end up with
NaN in all 0 elements because I'm dividing by zero...)

Some of of the greatest social and environmental challenges are focused around the issue of reproductive rights. Italian-based FAREstudios created a brilliant architectural solution to the issue by developing a refuge and Women's health clinic in a poor suburb of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in West Africa. The complex is a a new type of care center that provides health and social resources for women in impoverished communities using a site-appropriate sustainable architecture model. The Woman's Clinic provides an important lesson in integrated design, which led it to be honored as a finalist for the 2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
Health clinics are a vital resource that NGO's and governments provide in impoverished and often isolated communities.The main goal of FAREstudios' clinic was to develop a replicable design and materials strategy that can be adopted throughout the tropical regions of Africa while taking a leading role in community health and development. This clinic is funded thought the Italian group AIDOS.
Due to the intense summer heat at this latitude, the main structural focus of the clinic is to reduce heat gain. The massive overhang is the building's dominant feature, but other strategies such as site-made red clay bricks, raised floors to encourage ventilation, and surrounding greenscape all add to a dramatic reduction in dependency on AC. A series of covered verandas and well-placed buildings with generous openings further reduce heat buildup.

Kroger Co., UFCW exploring merger of Ohio health plans as part of contract talks
Contract set to expire March 1
The Kroger Co. is exploring the merger of union-operated health plans in Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo as part of its ongoing negotiations for a new contract with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 75.
The idea could be a cost saver that enables Kroger to preserve health benefits, like the spousal coverage that was eliminated for about 1,700 people as part of an Indiana contract in June.

Infographic: Understanding Carbon Offsets Infographic: Understanding Carbon Offsets
Infographic: Understanding Carbon Offsets
Launch Infographic
When we exhale, we release carbon dioxide into the air around us. That carbon dioxide is naturally removed from the atmosphere by plants and the ocean in what is known as the carbon cycle. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s, human activities like burning coal and cutting down forests have thrown off the carbon cycle's delicate balance. With only 13 percent of emissions naturally sequestered in 2006, this is where carbon offsets come in.
Take a look at our latest infographic to see why the concept for carbon offsets were first created.
