Do we really still have to honor Indian Treaties?
Here on the Crow Reservation a guy was charged with taking an elk out of season and off reservation! Throw him in jail! Fine him! Seize his weapons of elk destruction! Hold on now – wait wait wait….something about a pesky Indian Treaty? Are those still valid? Come on this is the 21st Century – The Crow Rez, where I proudly live, jive and survive, was originally – get this – 38 million acres! (Fort Laramie Treaty 1851) Way to much land for one tribe! Sarcasm aside – it was reduced in 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty to a mere 8 million acres. Oh, but it does not stop – over the next years through "Congressional Acts" the reservation was reduced to a mere 2.3 million acres! So – 38 million minus 2.3 million equals ? Theft in the first degree! The Crow Elders were wise in respect to hunting and fishing and they slipped in this pesky little clause into the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty that states – Article 4 gives the Crow tribe "the right to hunt on the unoccupied lands of the United States so long as game may be found thereon, and as long as peace subsists among the whites and Indians on the borders of the hunting districts."
Nice move Crow Elders! Clayvin Herrera, a friend and Captain of Crow Fish and Game was cited with fulfilling the wishes of the Crow Elders that wrote this clause into the Fort Laramie Treaty! He took an elk off the reservation but still within tribal hunting grounds. So, explain to me how this is a crime? The United States took 35.7 million acres from the Crow and now we are worried about elk? Or are we worried about Indians leaving the reservation to hunt? I say case dismissed! Don't waste more tax dollars when native education, drug education, hunting education, and a myriad of other concerns need addressed. Or, to quote Ted Nugent – "Take your kids hunting so you don't have to hunt for your kids" I encourage everyone to cruise on over to support Clayvin- and buy one of his cool t-shirts! He created this design to raise money and awareness for his fight to uphold the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty.
My birthday is coming up – the big five oh – 50! I am growing my hair and goatee long to celebrate and it will all commence on April 15th! One of my buddies asked me what if ya got $50k for your birthday – what would you do?
I thought about that all weekend long – the truck broke down again and looks like a water pump needs replaced. But wow, $50k kinda like lottery winner time. I know what I would do –
I would buy/mount an old Alaskan Camper to my old diesel truck – pack up my meager possessions and go out on the road. Chloe would ride shotgun and I would plot my course all over these backroads USA. I would visit Facebook friends, friends that supported me when I was down and almost out, one Hell's Angel that saved my life, a Mormon kid that I owe, my old classmates, my old students, Curns, Hank Will – and my cuzins far and wide, my favorite medicine man in Arizona, not my ex-wife (cause I wanna live to 51) ! I would travel and say thank you to all the great people that created me and keep a log of all of it! Then publish that log in what is called a book!
Then I would come back to Lodge Grass, Montana and settle – because really this is my home. I love this rundown, poor community. Real people live here – good people – even tweekers with good hearts.
A man can dream….
Can an Indian be a Redneck?
So many years ago – teaching high school English and Creative Writing in Pinon, Arizona – one female student said to me "my dad would be a redneck if he weren't an Indian?". Her dad is a good friend of mine and it has left me wondering for the last fifteen years – because her dad is a redneck! (and yes, I am a card carrying Redneck and look at the term in a positive complimentary fashion – no hood required)
Today, out with my bro Claude Dawes here on the Crow Rezervation picking up hay bales left behind by the Westwood Ranch farmer. Waste not want not – and Claude pulls up in a Ford F450 hauling a tow-motor meant to lift bee hives on the truck – he careens down the side of the hill and we strap and load two, one ton, bales of hay! Claude is a redneck! He is the head of security for the Crow Tribal Chairman and drives a monster truck that I call Ta Tonka !
Fifteen years after the question – yes, I think an Indian can be a Redneck!
(Disclaimer: the usage of the color "red" in no way is meant to be pejorative as in Washington Redskins)
Yei in a dream – Yeibichai
The Nightway ceremony is a major curative ceremony
which restores harmony. It invokes the Yeis, a
special category of Holy People who are inclined to
help the Navajo. A nine day ceremony, it is
performed during the cold months when there is no chance of being hit by lightning and when the snakes
are hibernating. ( http://www.rivertradingpost.com/yeibichai.htm)
Imagine a waking dream, held down by the lead Yei at a Yeibichai as he ritualistically cuts lines in your feet laterally one after another with an obsidian stone knife and daring not to move but in calm acceptance. A red ochre Indian suddenly appears and hold up his hand to – stop – and the Yei disappears.
My dream several nights ago has the oxymoronic symbolism of opposites. A Yei that inflicts cuts in a curative process and the one who is to be healed in red ochre stops the cutting.
I remember living in Greasewood, Arizona and waking at 2 am looking out the window and seeing a lone Yei walking in the night – but that was years ago.
A dream, my dream, the other night…
and i wonder – Alaskan Truck Camper
Time – Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Sometimes I wonder why people show up at my door? Why people want to spend time with me? I am a recluse that loves meeting people, hearing their stories, and then they go away – thankfully. Is this oxymoronic at best?
My life's goal and dream is to own an old truck and old Alaskan truck Camper and just have enough money to travel place to place seeing and experiencing the mundane and ordinary and celebrating it! One friend says "you are so specific in your wants, in what little you buy – albeit expensive – but odd". What does that mean? I could simplify to almost nothing and live.
Why do people come back – to have me entertain?I was friend requested by one person that actually interests me –
and the poignancy of Bukowski –
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
When I first moved to Lodge Grass, Montana, I kept hearing about the "Hoot" Colony that was my closest neighbor to the south. Visions of retired Hooters girls danced in my head! I figured it was a " retirement colony" for all those beautiful (exploited-lol) girls. Last night, I had the privilege of a visit from the Hoots! Sorry guys, this is a Hutterite Colony of 30 folks that live in a communal retreat here in Montana. They were (I believe) originally from the AnaBaptist Sect that left Germany to flourish in the religious tolerance of our great country. ( http://www.hutterites.org/ )
Religious Tolerance and satire were alive and well in France till this last week when senseless slaughter of bright satirical minds led this writer to think of the two most important elements of our freedom and what guarantees them!
While our local Hoots are pacifist, they are protected by Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech – all guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. I can satirically write about them and we can all laugh with visions of Hooters girls dancing in our heads!
Pope Francis yesterday condemned religious fundamentalism as a "deviant form of religion" that "eliminates God by turning Him into a mere ideological pretext," I love this Pope – he does not play with words!
So, while I wrote on Facebook – " Hmmmm, France has strict anti-gun laws…now how is that working out for ya?" I am thankful for our religious freedoms and our laws that allow us to carry a weapon if we choose. (not that I ever would)… Thankful I live in Montana surrounded by Native Crow people and beauty and yes…Hoots that personify a simpler time!
Now for all the guys that clicked the link because it said "HOOTERS"
Coffee with Sasquatch
I kept getting advertisements on Facebook "buy coffee from The Sasquatch Coffee Company" and I kept thinking Oh geez another company trying to make a fast buck off my buddy Squatch. I finally started tooling through their website ( http://squatchcoffee.com/ ) and somehow landed on the "free sample"! I enrolled because heck it was free and figured nothing would happen!
Bam, Sasquatch comes knocking on my door! Well, in the form of some good good coffee! Allow me to digress – 20 years ago, South Korea (pre Starbucks), and I had to send to the states for good coffee (Pete"s Coffee). So, I love love love good coffee! I opted for the Howl in the Night coffee "A dark french roast offering a caramelized taste accenting the pronounced earthy quality of Sumatran beans, complete with a deep deep complex body". This coffee is so so so good! It has a taste that Sasquatch and I both enjoy – earthy, woody, with a long aftertaste that is so incredible.
I will have this coffee with me this next season of Squatching up in the Big Horn Mountains here in Lodge Grass, Montana – I know, I saw Sasquatch this last year near treeline up near Windy Point. Don't try to 4wheel up because it is Crow Indian only! Reservation Sasquatch – and yes, he has been seen many times and I have listened to many stories involving the Big Horns and Sasquatch. Well, that is another story!
Thank You for the great coffee –

I am getting phone calls from a shaman.
Actually, she is a shamaness. Newly initiated. We're friendly. I met her about a week before her drumming in. The morning of our meeting, I briskly packed my camera in hopes of shooting the annual shamanic ritual called "Closing Heaven's Gates". The previous day, I spied an announcement about the rite taped to a window in the tram. Right then and there I knew, I was going to the shamans.
The mystique of shamans is legend here in Siberia. I am sure they prefer it that way, a little swirling mystery, the potential of tapping power inaccessible to most is good for business. Shamans get respect, even from those who do not believe, because deep down inside, we wonder if, or fear, or hope their power is real.

How to Prune Young Peach Tree
Hello everyone, I bought a young peach tree last year and I need to prune it this spring. This is my first backyard fruit tree so I am cluless what I need to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Also, there is a branch coming off the lowest section of the main trunk but it does not have any bud (first pic), I want it to develop into a main scaffold but will it grow without any bud? should I just prune that as well? thanks!
left scaffold branch
right scaffold branch
It's tough to recommend pruning without knowing your goals (i.e do you want to train your tree tall for baffling against squirrels, vs. short and open-centered).
I will say it may be a concern your peach tree is planted next to the deck wall, which could be blocking some of the sun. This may be why your tree is lacking in vigor.
You might consider growing your tree above the deck so it can get more sun. If that sounds like something you want to try, you could keep one branch of the "Y" and remove the other. Or since you don't have much wood and have a lot of fruit buds on the wood you have, you may want to wait until after harvest to prune.
When it's time to thin, make sure you thin enough. A tree that size low in vigor can probably only support about 5 fruit.
If you do decide to prune, you can prune at any time this time of the year. But the bottom line is your tree hasn't put on enough growth to worry about pruning anything at this point.
Thanks Olpea, yea I planted my tree late last summer that's why it never had chance to develop. I will leave it alone so it can put on some growth this year.
If I remove one branch of the "Y", wouldn't that destroy overall shape of the tree? I thought we need to train the tree to wine glass/ tulip shape?
"If I remove one branch of the "Y", wouldn't that destroy overall shape of the tree? I thought we need to train the tree to wine glass/ tulip shape?"
That's the shape I like best and grow all my peach trees to an "open vase".
I was really just brainstorming on how you might prune your peach tree. I've never tried to grow a peach next to a wall and I assumed yours may not be getting enough sun (partly because of the wall and partly because of the lack of vigor in the tree). My idea was to grow your trunk really tall (above the deck fence) before the tree is allowed to branch out, so all the foliage would be above the deck wall in full sun.
Now that I understand your tree was planted in late summer, that's probably normal amount of growth and your tree may well be getting enough sun behind the deck wall. In that case, you could train it to a typical low vase/open-center tree and keep both branches of the "Y".
You might want to train more of the tree's structure away from the deck fence. It makes for a lop-sided tree, but I've done it for some of my trees planted close to property lines in my backyard.
One last thing, if you are going to train the tree to a low open-center, I'd probably pull the two branches of the "Y" down a little bit. Just take a couple clothes hangers, straighten them out and push them in the ground as far as you can (these will be anchors). Then bend the two branches down some (but not so far that they break) and tie the the branches down with some string.
The Japanese often use a Y, Y shape where two primary scaffolds pointed in opposite directions quickly split into two branches apiece. This makes it easier to fully exploit the area with fruit bearing wood coming off tertiary branches. Just two scaffolds is great for trees in rows fairly closely spaced but it will take more time to fill in and a bit more work if you are planning for trees to fill in a 15' diam. circle. This is often the case with peaches I manage.
I often have larger trees runt out like this one did when transplanting- especially if they don't have ample water throughout the growing season or if there is serious root competition from better established trees. If you are patient and don't let the tree fruit at all you are more likely to be rewarded this year with vigorous growth.
yea thanks Olpea, now I see why you asked me to remove one branch of Y. My tree faces an open backyard on the other side so sun is not a problem.
it's interesting to see my tree has this Y,Y shape, I think I will remove all the flower buds so the tree can focus on vegetative growth this year

Fascinating phenomena, and one I wish could get a bit deeper investigation than a few paragraphs.
We shall see, as they say. Because if examples from elsewhere are anything to go by, it can't be long before the fatwas, bombings and beheadings begin. Don't take my word: witness events in places like Pakistan, Indonesia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Kenya, and now, my homeland, Nigeria. And that's before you get to places like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Sudan, Afghanistan, etc., where daring to practise a different faith attracts the death penalty.
Sorry dear I hate to disappoint you it will never happen in Sierra Leone. We pride ourselves on our tolerance, it is one of the best places in the world for religious coherence. All of us one way or the other has a very close relative who belongs to either religion. Both relations I can testify does not preach killing of family members and it is impossible in our Land. Chrismus has been practiced for centuries in Sierra Leone and so it shall continue to be. Nigerian, Iranians etc have tried but have been very unsuccesful and that by the Grace of God will continue. We are not other nations. We are very small and almost everyone k ows someones relation.
You may not believe it, but I actually do genuinely wish you well, if only because of what you've been through fairly lately. It follows that I'd be extremely happy to be proved wrong by you. But do be careful though, because if anyone had told me I'd one day regret my belief in the supposed "oneness" of Nigeria, I'd have thought they were insane.
I'm a bit puzzled though, about your suggestion that size somehow shields you from murderous madness. Did you actually give any thought to this? I ask because the fact that everyone knows everyone else didn't seem to provide much of a shield against some of the most shocking acts of barbarism in modern history being enacted there. And if you managed to achieve that without any assistance from bearded men who believe in a hedonistic afterlife, that's all the more reason why I genuinely wish you well.
Thanks my dear. I do understand what you are saying with regards the recent war. My emphasis was on religion and it being a motivator for war. That being said like every other nation in the world we do have other issues. Divide in tribal lines which is strongly going along side Political divides. Now on that I will not rule out anything. I must say I am not surprised with the religious issues in Nigeria because of its Political passed, e.g Biafra. It had always been a time bomb, one we pray everyday for it not to explode because they are our family. God bless you.
Yes, I'm aware that the theme was religion, and I did attempt to engage with it. I mentioned the war only because of your assertion that your country's size, close-knit societal structures, etc mean the Nigerian experience "will never happen in Sierra Leone". And my point was that the war was evidence that such factors provide no such guarantees.
Please keep your anti-Muslim bigotry to yourself. Not everyone wants to be as consumed by hate as you seem to be.
If I, who merely attempted to highlight undeniable examples of murderous intolerance among adherents of that ideology am supposed to be the "bigot," how would you describe them?
West Africans have always incorporated traditional beliefs into whatever Western religion they might profess. I suppose this is an example and I suspect the people who refer to themselves as ChrisMus also incorporate elements we would identify as traditional gods and beliefs.
But this won't last given the state of Islamic intolerance in Africa. I expect a relatively small number of young men will become convinced that God expects them to rid the nation of the heretics and particularly the apostates who profess Christianity while being Muslim. Killing will commence.
Are these "tolerant" people accepting of those who are neither Muslim nor Christian? Also has anyone ever noticed that the more the word tolerance is uttered, the more likely that it is missing in reality and practice?
Oh dear, how sad.
The quickest way to realise the difference between Islam and Christianity is to note the answer each offers to the question: 'Why will you go to heaven?'. At the core of the Muslim answer is either a belief that the good deeds that you do will outweigh the bad, or that allah will let you in anyway.
At the heart of Christianity is the claim that a person will get to heaven because God's grace is offered to ALL who are willing to accept it. Regardless of what they've done! Of course that acceptance will be worked out in good deeds in the medium term, but they are not the way you earn your way to heaven.
BIG difference...
I think the real difference is the idea that Christians believe that Christ was God while Muslims believe he was a messenger. You really cannot be both because how can Jesus be and not be God simultaneously.

Stained Glass Mosaics
by Bev Delyea
Opening Reception: Wednesday March 25th from 7pm
Exhibit Continues Until: Monday, April 27th
Bev Delyea is a long-time Fernie resident who practices the little-known but ancient art of mosaics. In Bev's case, the choice of material for her mosaics in this exhibition is stained glass. Unlike stained glass (windows) which are transparent, stained glass in mosaics are glued to a substrate and (usually) grouted. Ancient mosaics were usually created with marble tesserae (or stone) and were a long-lasting artwork on floors and walls throughout Europe.
An impulsive decision 12 years ago when she did a stained-glass mosaic frame for a mirror in a workshop surprisingly turned into a long-term practice with mosaics. Learning by trial and error, relying on art courses taken decades before and on her former hobby of quilting, and finding excellent on-line mosaic communities, Bev continued to improve her mosaic skills. What most attracted Bev to using stained glass as a medium is the availability of beautiful and brilliant colours.
The mosaic art exhibit, Valley Visions in Stained Glass Mosaics is a collection of artworks she calls glass paintings. The one-of-a-kind, contemplative works "show the way I see the world, particularly in the Fernie area," she said. The mosaics include landscape, impressionistic and abstract works. A work in progress along with glass and tools will be on display at the Arts Station until April 27th.

County to legislature: 'Don't hurt us'
"Don't hurt us."
That's the clear and simple message being delivered by Henrico County's elected officials, administrators and lobbyists to the General Assembly, which convened in Richmond for a 60-day session last week.
The missive represents a change from years past, during which county officials annually presented "wish lists" of top priorities to the county's General Assembly delegation. Six years ago, that list contained 14 items. This year, it's down to just one: Do no harm.
By placing their sole focus on those three words, local officials hope to make a salient point to lawmakers: localities – Henrico included – are struggling to deal with their own financial problems and cannot afford additional funding cuts from the state.
County lobbyists have, for the most part, kept their mouths shut in recent years as state funding to localities have declined annually. Though other jurisdictions in the state had to lay off employees, raise tax rates or trim services – or all three – Henrico has not.
County officials are adamant that no layoffs, service cuts or tax increases will occur in the coming fiscal year either, but by sounding the warning bell to legislators, they hope to illustrate how dire times have gotten statewide.
During the past several years, as state funding to localities fell during the recession, Henrico was able to make up those lost funds in its annual budgets thanks to years of conservative financial planning, Deputy County Manager and Finance Director John Vithoulkas said. (The county annually has capped its growth at 5 percent – during strong and lean economic years – which helped buffer it from the recession.)
But now, the state's failure to meet its funding obligations is having a real impact even on Henrico, which begins its 2012-13 budget process facing a $70.8 million budget shortfall before the process even begins. That's a significant hurdle even for one of the most fiscally sound counties in the nation (Henrico was the first county to have its triple AAA bond rating reaffirmed last summer after the U.S. government's rating was downgraded by Standard and Poor's.)
The shortfall is the result of a combination of factors:
• an estimated $10.8-million decline in tax revenues;
• a projected increase of $32.5 million in the county's required payments to the Virginia Retirement System;
• $6.1 million in additional debt service payments;
• $10.2 million in operating costs for new projects constructed through bond sales;
• $4.2 million in additional healthcare costs;
• $1.5 million in additional diesel fuel for school buses and vehicles;
• $5.5 million in other costs.
"In the Fiscal Year '13 budget, the VRS cost increase is the single largest budget driver that we have, both for general government and for schools," Vithoulkas said.
The VRS provides retirement payments for eligible state employees and teachers and is funded by the state and localities, all of whom make payments into one fund, from which it is then distributed.
But while localities – including Henrico – have been required annually to fully fund the VRS rates established by the VRS Board, the state has not fully funded its share in any of the past four-plus years.
For example, in Fiscal Year 10-11, the VRS board set the rate of payment into the system for teachers at 12.91 percent; Henrico and other localities paid that percentage in full, but the state paid only 3.93 percent – less than one-third of the amount it owed.
Part of the problem was that the VRS investment fund took a significant hit during the recession, losing 28 percent of its value between 2007 and 2009. The fund rebounded to gain 20 percent last year; Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's budget assumes that the fund will show 8-percent growth in the coming fiscal year.
McDonnell has proposed funding the VRS with $2.21 billion in new money in the coming fiscal year – including $876 million in state general fund dollars – as a way to begin addressing what he termed the "woefully underfunded" system. McDonnell also is proposing that public employees pay 1 percent of their salaries toward the fund, which would raise another $5.1 billion.
Critics of his proposals argue that the bulk of that new money will come from the very localities who have been paying their shares all along and from employees, for whom the money is intended.
A number of bills related to VRS funding are under consideration in the Assembly, but each would require concessions in other areas to fund VRS.
"There are only so many resources," said Henrico's legislative liaison Mike Schnurmann. "If you squeeze in over here, it's going to pop out somewhere."
Positives and negatives
The county has seen some key economic indicators pointing in a positive direction during the past year:
• residential foreclosures in 2011, through October, were lower than during the same months in 2010 with just two exceptions (May, which witnessed one more and October, which was equal to the previous year);
• the county's unemployment rate dropped from 7.5 percent in February 2010 to 5.9 percent in April 2011, before rising slightly to 6.5 percent in September – a figure that still was 0.8 percent lower than the same rate for Metro Richmond;
• the county's sales tax receipts were up $2.5 million from Fiscal Year 2009-10 to FY 2010-11 (to $57.2 million) and up 2.9 percent during the first quarter of FY 11-12.
But, there are negatives too.
County officials are estimating that Henrico's taxable real estate base will drop from $31.7 billion last year to $30.05 billion this year – a decrease of 5.19 percent. Since 2009, the taxable base has dropped by $4.7 billion (or 13.5 percent).
Other local sources of revenue – chiefly personal and business property taxes – are projected to remain flat in the coming fiscal year.
Also during this year's Assembly session, legislators will consider a number of proposals to restructure the way road maintenance is handled throughout the state. Henrico – one of just two localities that already maintain their own secondary road systems with money provided by the state – will watch the issue carefully, said Schnurmann.
Henrico – which for years lobbied to have its road maintenance allocation rate increased to bring it more in line with that of Arlington County – may now be content to live with its current rate, given that all but one of the new proposals likely would reduce that rate even further, according to Schnurmann.
County officials don't expect any of the proposals to pass the General Assembly this year, but they caution that anything is possible.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

BTW, Obama Decided Not To Send In The Military To Rescue Our Benghazi Personnel
As Ace points out, on one hand Team Obama decided not to increase security at the Benghazi consulate. On the other hand
According to the Wall Street Journal, as the attack on the U.S. consulate was raging, Obama took a "wait and see" approach.
Ninety minutes after news of the attack reached Washington, Obama, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, JCS Chair General Martin Dempsey, and a national security adviser convened for an oval office meeting in which they ultimately rejected the course of U.S. military intervention. Instead, they decided to reach out to the Libyan government to ask if they would send reinforcements.
When the U.S. personnel at the consulate left the main building for what was supposed to be a safe house, questions regarding the deployment of forces seemed moot.
But the battle was still raging, and Ambassador Stevens' life was close to its end.
So, essentially, US leaders on the other side of the Atlantic ocean decided to not bother doing anything themselves other than make a pleading phone call to the brand spanking new leadership of Libya in the hopes that Something would get done, abdicating their roles as protectors of US citizens.
Mary Joe Ambassador Stevens is unavailable for comment.
From that WSJ account
"There was no serious consideration at that hour of intervention with military force, officials said. Doing so without Libya's permission could represent a violation of sovereignty and inflame the situation, they said. Instead, the State Department reached out to the Libyan government to get reinforcements to the scene."
Yet, Obama sent two super secret special ops Blackhawks deep into Pakistan, 30 miles from the capital, loaded with SEALs, on a mission to kill Osama. That certainly was a violation of sovereignty, was it not? And isn't deploying our military to bomb Libya from the air previously a violation of sovereignty? Could they not have called the Libyan government and said "hey, we're sending military assets to protect our diplomatic personnel, deal with it"?
Let's review:
The U.S. ignores warnings of a parlous security situation in Benghazi. Nothing happens because nobody is really paying attention, especially in an election year, and because Libya is supposed to be a foreign-policy success. When something does happen, the administration's concerns for the safety of Americans are subordinated to considerations of Libyan "sovereignty" and the need for "permission." After the attack the administration blames a video, perhaps because it would be politically inconvenient to note that al Qaeda is far from defeated, and that we are no more popular under Mr. Obama than we were under George W. Bush. Denouncing the video also appeals to the administration's reflexive habits of blaming America first. Once that story falls apart, it's time to blame the intel munchkins and move on.
It's not like we have multiple warships capable of deploying military assets that could have provided security for the consulate personnel in the Mediterranean or something.
BTW, lots of sensitive documents were left behind, and the FBI still hasn't accessed the
crime scene terrorist attack scene.

In a recent post, I wrote about the crazy mixed up world of business information sources. Big changes in some of our favorite go-to resources have led me and other info pros to look for alternatives. And higher prices for our must-have tools mean adapting search strategies and project pricing.
In this post, I'm going to dig deeper into the changes at Dialog, one of the earliest online database services - and by "online," I mean before the internet! When I started in this business, Dialog was considered a must-have for any professional researcher. With its powerful search capabilities and nearly 700 databases - including company directories, full-text business articles, and market research reports sold by the page - it was well worth the investment.
With Dialog's command-line searching and advanced features, the learning curve was steep. Some graduate schools covered Dialog searching, but mine did not. I had to shorten the curve, so I signed on with Amelia Kassel's mentoring program to learn the skills I needed to include Dialog in my search repertoire. This knowledge opened up a world of deep content and precision searching that distinguished the amateurs from the professionals.
Over the years, Dialog has offered a variety of interfaces (Let us please forget DialogLink 4.0!) and experimented with pricing models (Remember DialUnits?). They closed the market research files, and we learned to go elsewhere. While I always remained true to my Dialog roots, I began to rely more and more on other sources, reserving Dialog for those really tough questions or their extensive collection of company directories.
At the end of 2013, ProQuest - Dialog's current owners - completed the migration of their business content to a new, completely revised platform. While most info pros were ready for an updated interface, simpler searching, and even the new pricing (no search charges on transactional plans), many of us were not pleased to learn that ProQuest had discontinued all of the company directories, including Dun & Bradstreet records with hard-to-find private-company information.
After using the new ProQuest Dialog, here are my reactions:
- It seems strange after all these years of Dialog searching, but I really do need to invest more time in learning the new system. They've Google-ized the searching, and I thought the transition would be a lot easier. Luckily, the company offers a wide range of support materials, and I recently attended a useful webinar on basic searching. It helped a lot, but it's going to take me a long time to get used to using quotation marks around phrases in Dialog!
- Since Dialog's dropped the search charges, it's nice not having to worry about busting the budget with time-consuming searches. But the document costs and access fee (percentage of document costs) can add up if you download a lot of articles. I've adapted by using Dialog only after searching Factiva and LexisNexis. Dialog usually brings up an article or two that the others don't (usually older articles). That's valuable content that I can't afford to miss, so I'm not ready to totally kick Dialog to the curb.
- I understand why Dialog made the business decision to discontinue the costly company directories - but I want them back! Yes, you can get D&B records elsewhere, but search limitations restrict their use to simple company look-ups. I miss the "old" Dialog most when I need to dig in and do some serious data mining, such as when sizing markets or comparing employment numbers within a variety of industries. Unfortunately, though, the remaining business content just doesn't stand out from what's available through other products.
- Dialog needs to get in touch with their customers. I mean get on the phone and have a real conversation. Find out how the migration is going for me. What's frustrating about it, and how can you solve that? Aside from an email and a postal mailing with details about billing and training, they've made no effort contact me directly. The silence is deafening, Dialog. I may not be your biggest customer, but wouldn't you like to catch me before I find something better?
I'm going to reserve further judgment about the new ProQuest Dialog until I use it more and see how it fits with my current needs. In the meantime, let me know what you think.

ISP and Jo Daviess County sheriff to partner
Staff Report
PECATONIA, Ill. — This time of year, many people in Jo Daviess County are on the lookout for beautiful fall colors. Illinois State Police District 16 Commander, Lt. Martin Zamudio, and Jo Daviess County Sheriff Kevin Turner are warning motorists to keep an eye out for a couple of different colors — red and blue.
More than 900 people were killed on Illinois roadways in 2010 and many more traveling in rural areas. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 23 percent of the United States population lived in rural areas in 2008, but rural fatalities accounted for 56 percent of all traffic fatalities.
"There are several causes factoring in to the higher percentage of fatalities in rural areas, but the leading factor is people in rural areas use their seat belts less than anywhere else," said Lt. Zamudio. "Surprisingly, new drivers, with their recent driver education training, wear their seat belts less than any other age group."
Sheriff Turner said: "Since 2006, 25 people have lost their lives in traffic crashes in Jo Daviess County. That is why deputies will be working with troopers to more aggressively enforce seat belt and child restraint violations."
Troopers and deputies will be focusing on school routes throughout Jo Daviess County ensuring that drivers, especially young drivers, get the message. "Our goal is not to write tickets, it is to prevent injury and death in our county," said Turner. "The loss of one life can affect countless people — husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, neighbors and friends."
"It is quite simple. When you get behind the wheel, choose to buckle up and put your child in a safety seat. These choices can save you money and, quite possibly, your life," concluded Zamudio.

Strange pear blossums on new wood?
I have a pear tree and blossomed the first time. About two weeks later some more blossoms appeared on new wood, about 3 inches at end of new growth.
What do you make of this? I know, some stress factors on apples can push out flowers in mid season, never seen it on pears before,...did you?
My Bartlett routinely throws some new flowers about 3-4 weeks after the spring bloom, and then a few sporadically for the next 3-4 weeks. Some of them have even set and grown into small, late pears for me. Funny, this year, when it was loaded with bloom and all were lost to frost, not a single one of these weird blooms has appeared yet, although by the calendar it's not quite time, generally they appear from about mid June to about mid July, so perhaps I'll get lucky yet and get a pear or two, albeit about the size of a Seckel at best.
They are common in warmer areas for pears. They are called rat-tail blossoms.
They are considered a negative because they provide a source for fireblight infection. I doubt you have a problem with fireblight though, so you can probably ignore them. I remove them anytime I see them.

Ive brewed several batches of beer and would like to try a batch of mead as I find the concept interesting but I have a couple questions.
1) Can I simply boil some of the yeast sediment from a beer fermentation to use as yeast nutrients without any other additives and if so, how much?
2) I would like to make a batch of several gallons, and then split this several gallons into different gallon glass jugs for secondary fermentations and flavor each gallon differently. What is the best way to do this, or is this not a good idea in the first place? Ive read that the fruit shouldnt be boiled.
Thanks in advance
As far as your first question goes, I have no idea. I've hard of people chopping raisins and boiling them with a small amount of water to create a yeast nutrient. If you've seen the recipe for Joe's Ancient Orange Mead, you use raisins as the yeast nutrient.
On the second question, there's no problem with siphoning into different containers and flavoring them. I've heard from a few places that this is even better in some cases. I plan on spicing up a bit of my traditional mead with some habanero peppers once it hits secondary. I've also read that the flavor of the fruit/spice is more dominant when added in secondary rather than primary.
If you do this, though, I recommend probably using juices instead of whole fruits just for the convenience. I am no expert though.

I sometimes wonder about the wonderful efficiency we keep hearing about with Private Companies when compared to the Public Sector.
Each time I have Beta tested a Norton Product with PCA and received a free copy of the software it is followed by an e-mail a week or two later thanking me for being a Beta tester and offering to sell me the product at a 40% discount which just about brings it to the full price being charged by many other places.
Talk about the right and left hands. I just expect computer companies to have systems better than this but perhaps I'm expecting too much.

Cristian Tello scored twice as an under-strength Barcelona cruised to a 3-0 win at struggling Real Zaragoza to extend their lead at the top of Spain's Primera Division to 16 points on Sunday.
Barca's priority is to conserve their energies for the European Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich in two weeks time and players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique were all missing.
Making the most of their opportunities were Barca youth academy products Tello and Thiago Alcantara who scored the goals as the leaders moved on to 81 points with seven games left to play.
Thiago ran the length of the pitch on a counter-attack and fired in off the far post after a one-two with Alexis Sanchez in the 20th minute. The Spanish international then laid on the second for Tello.
His through ball put the pacy left winger clear to lift his shot over Roberto just before halftime, and Tello sped past his marker to squeeze the third inside the far post in the 53rd minute.
Alexis had already hit the crossbar but Zaragoza, who have yet to win in 2013, rarely threatened.
Earlier, Radamel Falcao scored twice as Atletico Madrid swept aside visiting Granada 5-0 to keep the pressure on second-placed Real.
The Colombia striker, constantly linked with a move to Europe's top clubs, took his league tally for the season to 24 as Atletico moved level with their King's Cup final opponents on 65 points, but are third due to an inferior goal difference.
Atletico were ahead after only four minutes at the Calderon when Diego Costa headed in Koke's cross, and the Brazilian striker set up Falcao for the second after a swift counter-attack.
Midfielder Koke, a Spanish youth international, curled in teasing free kicks for Falcao and Raul Garcia to volley the third and fourth goals after the break, and the over-lapping Filipe Luis made it 5-0 in the 70th minute.
A quick-fire double from Imanol Agirretxe helped fourth-placed Real Sociedad to a 2-0 win at Rayo Vallecano that strengthened their hold on the last Champions League qualification berth in the Primera Division.
The club from San Sebastian were 2-0 up inside 14 minutes and extended their unbeaten league run to 13 games as they moved on to 54 points, four clear of Malaga and Valencia in fifth and sixth respectively.
Striker Agirretxe netted twice from close range after low crosses from the left at a sun-drenched Vallecas stadium, and Rayo responded with a double tactical substitution of both their right-sided players in the 16th minute.
While it plugged the hole it failed to turn the game, and Rayo's push for a place in Europe next season faltered as they stayed ninth with 44 points.
