Perhaps, as did clay tablets and papyrus, but the stories still continue to be written and delivered to people to be read as they have for thousands of years. I understand the sentiment behind not wanting to lose the tactile sense of turning the page of a print book or experiencing that new book (or even old book ) smell, but it's not the end of literature which would be much more of a loss IMO.
But they're not even selling it in 'pages' they're only selling it as a download, which is essentially pageless.
As I said, I think the 'page' as a unit of measurement is in danger of going the same wad asd the Em or En, two units of measurement that have already disappeared in my lifetime.

Lawyers for Gov. Peter Shumlin and Jeremy Dodge say they have reached an agreement "in principle" for Dodge to buy his home back from the governor.
"The deal is that Jeremy Dodge will repay the governor everything the governor was out of pocket that benefited Jeremy Dodge from the transaction," said Jerry Diamond, Shumlin's attorney and a former Democratic state attorney general.
Diamond said Dodge will have five years to pay Shumlin back, putting the amount "in the neighborhood" of $30,000. He said the amount will be treated as an interest-only loan for the first four years, with Dodge obligated to pay the principal in year five.
"The interest rate has not been set yet," Diamond said. "It will be the lowest interest rate the IRS allows before it imputes income. It's lower than you would get from a financial institution."
Diamond said that if Shumlin did not charge interest, he would still be taxed as if he had charged interest at a minimum rate.
"The governor is doing it in a way that poses the smallest economic burden on him or his family for five years," Diamond said. "He always has the option to sell on the open market."
Diamond said Shumlin had also made an offer in which, instead of paying back money, Dodge could simply transfer some of the acreage of the East Montpelier property to the governor, keeping the house and remaining land, but that offer was rejected.
Shumlin came under fire after details emerged about his purchase of Dodge's property, which is adjacent to the governor's property, for $58,000. The sale price was a fraction of the appraised value and relatives of Dodge claimed Shumlin took advantage of his diminished mental capacity and difficult financial situation.
Dodge's income has been reported as $8,000 a year, raising the question of how Dodge will pay off the debt.
Dodge's attorney, Brady Toensing, was more tight-lipped than Diamond.
"We've reached an agreement in principle and we expect to work out the details in the next few weeks," he said, declining to go into any further detail on the record.
Toensing, who previously worked for Brian Dubie, former Republican lieutenant governor and Shumlin's opponent in the 2010 gubernatorial race, also declined to say whether he had taken the case pro bono. Dodge said he could not afford a lawyer during the initial sale and was unable to get one from Vermont Legal Aid after.
Diamond said he hoped to see the deal finalized by Aug. 15.MORE IN This Just InWAITSFIELD An armed robber held up the Northfield Savings Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the second...

Taming the cost of education in Vt.By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 10,2013MONTPELIER As school budgets continue an upward trend that has seen the cost of public education nearly double since 2001, lawmakers are looking for new ways to help local boards finally bend the curve.
In all but 16 of the 244 school districts that saw budget votes Tuesday, voters said yes to education spending that will rise on average by 5.3 percent. The figures will bring statewide spending on public education to $1.44 billion in fiscal year 2014 almost a third of all government spending in Vermont.
Increases over the past decade have come despite nearly a 20 percent decline in the student population, which has fallen from about 104,000 in 2001 to 85,000 today. And while the Democrats who control both the executive and legislative branches continue to preach the importance of local control, lawmakers have begun contemplating policies aimed at bending upward spending trajectories in the states 307 schools.
Asked whether the Legislature should assume a more hands-on role in containing local education costs, House Speaker Shap Smith said he isnt sure.
I dont think that we know at this point in time whether that should be our role, and if it is our role, what we would do to bend the cost of education, Smith said.
But he left open the door to the possibility of a more intensive effort at cost containment than Montpelier has undertaken in years past.
If what we did would improve the quality of the schools, then I think it would be appropriate for us to have a heavier hand, Smith said last week.
Smith isnt the only prominent lawmaker voicing a willingness to consider heightened legislative intervention in local spending decisions.
The House committees that focus on the budget, taxes and education convened a rare three-committee hearing last week to brainstorm potential cost-cutting maneuvers. Every member of each committee was asked to throw out ideas theyd like to explore.
Rep. Martha Heath, a Westford Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said shes interested in looking for ways to address a staff-to-student ratio that, at about 10-to-1, is lower than any state in the nation.
The ratio is one of the main reasons that Vermonts per-pupil spending $17,400 as of 2011, according to a report commissioned by the Legislature is third-highest in the country. Heath said shes also interested in finding ways to promote a statewide teacher contract.
I want this body to explore those two ideas and the potential for us to encourage those ideas, Heath said.
Rep. Adam Greshin, a Warren Independent, said the portion of school spending dedicated to salaries and benefits means that any discussion about cost must necessarily focus on staffing levels.
The reality is that something between 70 and 80 percent of our costs are labor-related, Greshin said. So theres no way we can reduce costs without looking at that.
Other lawmakers pressed for reforms to the states notoriously complicated school-funding system, in which the lions share of revenue for local school budgets is collected via a statewide property tax. Critics say the system, created when lawmakers passed Act 60 in 1997, disconnects local voters from the financial consequences of their spending decisions.
Concern over the rising education costs isnt new in Montpelier, and it always tends to peak around Town Meeting Day. Gov. Peter Shumlin has sounded the alarm over rapidly increasing education costs, but said responsibility for fixing the problem lies with local school boards, and the voters whose approval they need to pass budgets.
Unlike his Republican predecessor, Gov. James Douglas, Shumlin says Montpelier should resist the urge to impose spending or staffing mandates on local districts.
Shumlin said he supports some of the measures under consideration this year, including the elimination of a small-schools grant that, some lawmakers argue, provides a financial disincentive to consolidation.
Lawmakers are also considering tweaks to the school-funding formula, including harsher penalties for per-pupil spending that exceeds the statewide average.
But so long as the Legislature respects the sovereignty of local districts, Shumlin said, none of the legislative initiatives will stem the rising tide of costs.
I dont want to pretend that any of them will make a big difference in the rates that are being determined by local decisions and local spending, Shumlin said last month. There cant be a school board member in Vermont that doesnt understand that the current rate of growth is not sustainable, and that we have to have conversations locally about how we can more efficiently deliver a great education in Vermont in a more affordable way for taxpayers.
The extent to which lawmakers opt to insinuate themselves in that local process remains to be seen. Heath said the brainstorming session was the beginning of a process that may or may not yield new legislation.
We need to decide on a process for how we winnow those (ideas) down to things that we think are doable, Heath said. Were headed in that direction, but were not there yet.MORE IN This Just InCity man faces Full StoryMan pleads guilty in beagles death Full StoryWAITSFIELD-A Vermont bank has been robbed twice in one week.

Home Linux/UNIX users?
Disclaimer: Geek post follows. Proceed at your own risk!
Is there anyone out there with relatively recent experience with Linux or UNIX in a home (or small business) environment? I'm looking for suggestions for distributions that are stable, secure and relatively easy for a novice to use more or less out of the box. Actually, I'm fairly comfortable with the basic commands, but I dont''t want to have to spend a lot of time learning the esoterica of package management (what turned me off of Linux about 12 years ago) or manually creating IPSEC configurations and the like.
I'm interested in suggestions for both workstations and small servers on relatively modern hardware (desktop and/or laptop); a relatively lightweight portable (USB thumb drive) installation; and older distributions that may still be available to run on old (8-10 years) hardware (slow CPU, small memory and disks by today's standards). I'm willing to use different distributions for different configurations, if appropriate.
Suggestions for relevant discussion forums are also welcome.
Thanks in advance!

For Jane Page Thompson, when it comes to providing for the home, gender does not matter.
Thompson is married to Mark, a local horseback rider and trainer, and finds herself as the primary provider for her household.
Thompson's situation is one that is becoming more and more common; she is one of a growing number of women whose earnings outpace that of their husbands.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 28 percent of women earn more than their husbands, according to 2011 data, up from 19 percent in 1990.
In addition, a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center shows a "record 40 percent of all households with children under the age of 18 include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income for the family."
That number has steadily increased since 1960 when only 11 percent of women were either the sole or primary source of income.
Research also shows the rise of female breadwinners is being driven mostly by demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation. Today, more women than men hold bachelor's degrees, and women make up nearly half of the workforce.
Changes in the economy have contributed to the outcome, too. There have been big losses in manufacturing and construction, fields that traditionally employed a mostly male workforce.
Contributing to society
The Thompsons do not have any children; however, due to some unforeseen circumstances that occurred within the first few years of their marriage, Thompson took over the financial responsibilities for their household.
"Within the first five years of our marriage, he had a heart attack, a terrible horse accident and then brain surgery," said Thompson. "Medically, more than anything, required him to take a big step back from work."
According to Thompson, it does not matter who earns more because both parties bring unique abilities to the union.
"There are some things he just naturally does better than I do," said Thompson. "My husband is much better at doing the laundry than I am."
Thompson adds that her career as a Realtor and land consultant provides her with a much-needed knowledge regarding the cost of maintaining a home.
"Being in real estate, I have a really good perspective of the value of domestic work," said Thompson. "In my profession, I know the dollar amount that cleaning the house and cleaning the yard has."
Thompson credits her studies at a single-sex boarding school and college to the way she views financial responsibilities.
"I was educated to be a female who could take care of herself," said Thompson. "My education was fiercely devoted to making me be an independent, contributing person to society other than being a mother and a wife."
Being the primary provider for the family has its difficulties, according to Thompson.
"It is a lot more stressful," said Thompson. "I always feel like I am letting him down if something goes wrong. I am in a business that is commission based, so it adds a lot more stress when you are trying to set a family budget."
Having a positive role model to look up to while growing up helped set a foundation in Thompson's life.
"My role model was my mom," said Thompson. "My mother was a single mom and she went to law school. She had this very fierce independence and did not settle for the 'I don't know.' You go research and find the answer."
The two overall contributing factors in Thompson's life were her mother and her education. The two sources helped breed independence in her life.
According to Thompson, "Whether you are a male or a female, I think being the responsible party of other people's lives in a household or having obligations to live up to is difficult."
Bucking gender stereotypes
The rise of female breadwinners bucks gender stereotypes and expected gender roles, according to Dr. Laura May, associate professor of psychology at USC Aiken.
"It is customary for the husband to be the primary breadwinner," said May.
According to May, "it may come down to the individual couple. As long as both partners in the couple are fine with this, then there are no relational issues."
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that the "public remains of two minds about the gains mothers have made in the workplace – most recognize the clear economic benefits to families, but many voice concerns about the toll that having a working mother may take on children or even marriage. About three-quarters of adults say the increasing number of women working for pay has made it harder for parents to raise children, and half say that it has made marriages harder to succeed. At the same time, two-thirds say it has made it easier for families to live comfortably," according to the center's website.
' ... You should always get up and go to work'
Gail Diggs, a native of Aiken, is a single mother of two daughters, Brittany and Simone. Diggs was married for 20 years when she and her husband filed for a divorce.
"You expect for a marriage to last forever and it just does not always go that way," said Diggs.
Like Thompson, Diggs' role model was also her mother. Diggs' father was killed when she was young, which left her mother to care for the children alone.
"I watched my mom do it with six of us," said Diggs. "My mom was determined that even though there were six of us, she was not going to give up. She was going to take care of us."
Watching her mother work no matter what taught Diggs an invaluable lesson.
"What I saw in my mom made a great impact on me," said Diggs. "She had the best work ethic. She worked as long as she could. She worked when she was sick and she worked when she was well, but she just believed that you should always get up and go to work."
Through the trying times, Diggs relied on a few things.
"Through it all, remembering how my mom did it and knowing if she could do it with six, I could do it with two," said Diggs.
The other comforting support came from three F's.
"I relied on three things: my faith, my family and my friends."
According to the Pew Research Center, 56 percent of working mothers say juggling work and family life is difficult for them.
Diggs found a way to try and balance work and home.
"My girls were very involved in so many extra-curricular activities when they were in school. For me to make sure that I was always there was important because I was the only parent," said Diggs. "Even if I could not stay for her practice, I would drop her off and I may go do a presentation somewhere else but I would go back to get her and I would usually catch the tail-end of practice."
If one person is the sole provider and caregiver to his or her children, Diggs believes it is "very important to be there for your kids."

Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Volare Hair Dryer
KathrynHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairGreat Blowdryer!I really enjoy this blowdryer because it gives off a good amount of heat and a lot of air. I have tried a few other blowdryers and found they do not provide enough air flow. The "new" blowdryers that are suppose to dry your hair quicker do but I find the air flow is not strong enough. For me I like a more powerful air supply and this one does that.posted Feb 10, 2014Link to this post
MAustin, TxHairLight BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairToo Powerful???This is a quality dryer with a reasonable weight with adequate heat. My hair is thick and a little coarse, but can be smoothed into a slick shiny texture. My old T3 was perfection, but died after 3 yrs of use. This time, I opted for the Volare as it was highly recommended by several stylists at my salon. The challenge I have is that the motor is so powerful (even on the low setting) that it creates blowback on the large round brush that I have used for yrs to style my hair with. Instead of the air hitting the brush and passing through it, I get residual blowback that frizzes the hair between my round brush and scalp. Weird, I know. Yes, I hold the dryer nozzle straight down on the hair wrapped around the brush to try and minimize this, but I still get blowback. I now must use a flattening iron to correct it afterwards, which I never had to do before with my T3. Too late to return it so I will try to trade it to a stylist in exchange for services. Too powerful air flow for me.posted Oct 9, 2013Link to this post
Pam E.Boyce, LaHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairBest Hair Dyer On The PlanetI have a thick head of hair. I have had to always use a straight iron on my hair or sleep on it for it to feel silky and not dry or bushy after I blow dry it. I read the other reviews about how silky this hair dryer made your hair. I took a chance and purchased it and WOW! it really does make a difference! My hair is smooth and silky after I use this hair dyer. I do not have to use the straight iron. I was skeptical that a hair dyer could make such a difference. I was so wrong. I highly recommend the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Volare Hair dryer! It is pricey, but considering that it cuts down the time it takes to blow dry your hair, AND eliminates the need to straight iron it, IT is well worth the money. I am so happy I made this purchase.posted Jul 8, 2013Link to this post
Robin N.New HampshireHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairOmg HairdryerI was on the fence about purchasing this hair dryer. In the past I have not had good luck with dryers, and I roast them within a year. For the expense of this one, I didn't want to risk it. But I finally bit the bullet and I am SOOO glad I did. This Babyliss dryer is amazing. I have long hair to my waist and it used to take me over an hour to dry. With this dryer it takes me 40 to 45 minutes. Sometimes even less. You ladies with long hair know how difficult it is to dry your own hair, especially in the back. But with this dryer, I have no problems and I always get a blow out just as nice as the salon. Super shiny, and I have not had to use my flat iron since I started using this dryer (along with the 43mm Macadamia Natural Oil Boar Brush).
It's along not very heavy, and not too loud.
I highly recommend this BabyLiss Pro dryer.posted Apr 9, 2013Link to this post -
Aerangel C.HairAuburnDry HairThick or Coarse HairSuper!I am giving this five stars, as this is the best I have ever used! It does get really hot, but not scorching like some Ive used. It has a high output of air, which can be overwhelming at first, but you have to make friends with it and learn to play nice and it will treat your hair very very well. It takes some time learn how to really use it properly, it has a ton of power - but in the end, the results are soft, frizz free hair. I have a lot of hair, but also, the strands are thick and coarse and tend to break and frizz. It is also wavy and past my shoulder blades, so a standard blow dryer just will not do. I frizz out very easily and look very dry and crisp, even though I do not have chemically treated hair. My last dryer (a Rusk Speed Freak) did a ton of damage in just a couple of weeks, so I went with this. This is actually repairing that damage and I have no hesitation drying my hair every day (I have to in ND this time of year). It does not cut drying time like my Chi or Rusk, but it is gentle on my hair and that is what is important to me. My only problems are that I wish it came with a diffuser and the narrow attachment nozzles come maybe once per use, and they are hot, so its not fun to put back on. But I would recommend in an instant regardless.posted Feb 11, 2013Link to this post
Kayron S.HairBlondeDry HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairNice Professional Dryer But Not For MeI would be the first to say this is a nice hair dryer. When you turn it on you know that it is quality. I have thick coarse textured hair that is highlighted which makes it hard to look silky. The only way I can have silky hair is to go to the hair stylist. I am returning for 3 reasons: First the cost as it is expensive and second I did not get the look that I was after. It is also very hot. For alot of gals I am sure this would work. I think I am going for a less expensive model. Good luck to all that bought it.posted Jan 28, 2013Link to this post
VictoriaTrinidad And TobagoHairMedium BrownNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairAwesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am a professional stylist and in all the dryers I have used, this has given me some of the best results...All of my client's hair look very silky and shiny and is extremely soft to touch when I am finished drying.....They love the results and that makes me happy. The weight of this dryer is also perfect for working long hours......Babyliss products rock.posted Sep 9, 2012Link to this post
SusanCTHairLight BrownCurly HairMy Fav!I love this hair dryer. My curly hair dries quickly and my hair is extra smooth. The buttons are in the right place and it is the right weight.posted Jul 30, 2012Link to this post
SusanCTWow Wee, But..I have curly, frizzy hair and have had this hair dryer for two weeks. For the first time ever, I have unfrizzy, smooth hair, doing exactly what I want it to do. This dryer is easy to hold, HOT and effective. One issue: the air flow is so strong that it blew itself off the counter and fell on the floor. Some plastic piece came loose and is melting inside the dryer. I would think it should be more durable than that. It's still working fine. I'd get it again.posted Jun 1, 2012Link to this post
JoanMountain View, CAHairDark BrownNormal HairOily HairColor Treated HairSo Far, So Great!I'm not easily impressed, but my new Volare dryer has exceeded my expectations. I've been using pro dryers for about 13 years, and this is definitely the best yet. I've only had it a week or so, but as early as the second usage, I could see a difference in my hair. I look like I've just left the salon every time I use it. Even relative strangers have commented on my hair. The dryer doesn't get too hot, and the speeds work for my above the shoulder, color-treated hair. The 4-year warranty doesn't hurt either. Highly recommend.posted Apr 10, 2012Link to this post

This weekendŌĆÖs Bluesapalooza is so full of top-drawer talent that it is hard to just pull a single thing out of the hat and call it THE highlight.
But concertgoers at SamŌĆÖs Woodsite on Sunday would not be far off if they gave the nod to Joe Louis Walker.
Walker, now 62, is a journeymanŌĆÖs journeyman in the blues world, but he shows no sign of slowing down.
Touring in support of his new record, ŌĆ£Hellfire,ŌĆØ Walker brings an eclectic mix of musical influences to the stage, from Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones on the rock ŌĆśnŌĆÖ roll end of the spectrum to hard-core blues on the other.
His song, ŌĆ£Black Girls,ŌĆØ is a tribute to great blues-singing women, while ŌĆ£Too Drunk To Drive DrunkŌĆØ more or less speaks for itself.
For those who have somehow managed to go through their lives without hearing Walker, listen for his stinging guitar cuts, a raspy, bluesy voice and pristine, uncluttered arrangements.
His guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisiveŌĆöa combination that Rolling Stone magazine recently characterized as ŌĆ£ferocious.ŌĆØ
Walker comes from a rich San Francisco blues tradition. As a 16-year-old in a city that featured a gumbo of blues, jazz and psychedelic rock, he became a house guitarist at The Matrix.
There, he played with or opened shows for artists such as LightninŌĆÖ Hopkins, Hendrix and, just for the heck of it, Thelonius Monk.
Along the way, he developed a guitar attack that was both on fire and melodicŌĆöa darned hard thing to pull off.
Walker met guitarist Michael Bloomfield in 1968 and Bloomfield pushed Walker toward rock, but Walker took a sharp turn in 1975.
For the next 10 years he played nothing but gospel music as a member of the Spiritual Corinthians.
Thus with Walker you never really know what youŌĆÖre going to get, other than it will be part fire, part brimstone, part rock, part gospel and a whole lot of blues.
It all adds up to a curious kind of ŌĆ£Hellfire,ŌĆØ and Mammoth will get a big dose of it Sunday afternoon.

On holiday from the first moment: Business Class
Leave your everyday routine behind, give yourself a treat and just take a relaxing break away from it all – it's a lovely idea. When you fly in Lufthansa Business Class you're on holiday from the very first moment.
Once at the airport you can relax with a glass of wine in the Lufthansa Business Lounge – a good way to get in the mood for the holiday to come.
Our Business Class services at a glance
Being on board is simply a matter of: sitting back, enjoying the in-flight service and perhaps flicking through a guidebook for a while. The middle seat is kept free in Business Class so that passengers can enjoy our new culinary concept in comfortable surroundings and arrive at their holiday destination feeling relaxed.
Two pieces of carry-on baggage are included in Business Class and two suitcases weighing up to 32 kilos each can be checked in as free baggage – a service which many a passenger will certainly appreciate, especially after an extensive shopping trip. Marked as priority baggage, these suitcases are, of course, the first onto the baggage conveyor belt.

If you are thinking about tweeting about clouds, pork, exercise or even Mexico, think again. Doing so may result in a closer look by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
In a story appearing earlier today on the U.K's Daily Mail website, it was reported that the DHS has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor various social networking sites. The list provides a glimpse into what DHS describes as "signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S."
The list was posted by the Electronic Privacy Information Center who filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act, before suing to obtain the release of the documents. The documents were part of the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder' used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities'.
The information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The Daily Mail's article noted the Electronic Privacy Information Center wrote a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence, describing it's choice of words as 'broad, vague and ambiguous'.
What wasn't disclosed is how the agency actually gains access to the various search engines and social networks to monitor the specified keywords. My guess is the DHS has a "special arrangement" with companies like Google Google, Facebook Facebook, Microsoft Microsoft, Yahoo and Twitter to gain secure direct API access. This type of access would allow it to use distributed cloud technologies to monitor the daily flow of social media and search activity in something close to real time.
I would love to learn more about the technologies used to accomplish this type of social / web monitoring. The applications for monitoring trends and social statics are fascinating when applied to other industry sectors. Given the extent of the monitoring, I'm sure this post itself is now coming up on the DHS radar, so please feel free to leave a comment with any insights.
(Update 1: Reading through the Desktop Binder, I discovered the DHS Twitter account is @dhsnocmmc1 and DHS appears to be using tweetdeck to monitor the various keywords. See Page 38 – Also interesting to note they seem to be using a Mac Mini as a server, and no password vaults. All Passwords appear to be shared in a plain text word document.)
(Update 2: On page 37, DHS instructs analysts to accept invalid SSL certificates forever without verification. Although invalid SSL warnings often appear in benign situations, they can also signal a man-in-the-middle attack. Not a good practice for the security conscious. Thanks to @obraon twitter for the tip.)

real good does the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wasn't sure about this product because of price and some reviews, but they have been worth it. Of course they're not the Cadillac of covers but they get the job done. I had no trouble applying the cover and there was no rainbow effect either. They haven't lifted and my screen looks like it did before I applied the cover.
This is much cheaper than the one bought at the big stores and it does the same thing as the expensive ones.

REVIEW: Nebraska
Nebraskan director Alexander Payne knows from what he speaks in this look at life in economically-depressed small town
Once again, Payne (who also helmed "The Descendants") takes to the road, as he did in the much-acclaimed "Sideways". This is the much underrated Bruce Dern's film from start to finish, though June Squibb , as his wife, steals almost every scene she's in. We saw her briefly in the 2002 Alexander Pyane movie , "About Schmidt", when she keeled over and died in an early scene, leaving the dominated Jack Nicholson a widower, giving him a chance to reinvent his life. Both Dern and Squibb should be making appearances at the Oscars.
With his words spoken few and far between, Dern's face and mannerisms capture the aging, regretful alcoholic Woody Grant, who is convinced he's won a million dollars in a magazine sweepstakes. With his spunky wife saying she'd use the money to put the old codger in a home, Woody's younger son (a surprising turn by "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" actor Will Forte) indulges him and takes him on a 750 mile trip to try to collect the prize. Along the way, they stop and visit family, friends and old enemies who all buy into the story , believing the aging alcoholic is about to become a millionaire, revealing their own greed , jealousies and regrets. Son David finally gets to know his dad over the long road trip.
It's as if "Nebraksa" is the artwork "American Gothic" come to life. One of the best films of the year, it's also one of the best comedies. Not to mention the acting, directing and writing- all at the top of their game. The icing on the cake : the score is brilliant and unforgettable. An American masterpiece??? You Betcha!!!
4 stars

River to River Trail | March 28, 2009 |
I am very honored to be a member of the Trailspace Community. This website hosts some of the most passionate, knowledgeable persons I know. I am truly fortunate to be included among them. For myself, I've been hiking and backpacking for longer than I can remember. If there is something I can offer to the community, I try to make it as valuable as possible, if only because I do not spend much time writing. Otherwise, I glean what I can from my peers. I have much to learn.
I grew up in various southern suburbs of Chicago, climbing in trees and digging up worms. I spent a decade or so in the Scouts, did a stint in the military, and eventually settled into the field of Resource Management, acquiring a degree in Forestry from Southern Illinois. During this time I was fortunate enough to be able to hike the River to River Trail: a 160-mile path wending through the Shawnee National Forest and its surrounding fields. One end is at the Ohio River, and the other at the Mississippi, and it effectively "cuts off" the bottom tip of Illinois. It's a beautiful trail, if sparsely marked. Tracing through the best of the Shawnee Hills, the trail offers myriad opportunities which allow one to take a very light pack.
I love to spend time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...And I'm there right now! I've Kayaked the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and love spending time in the Porcupine Mountains; with Hemlocks some 180' tall and 3' in diameter, there really is much at which to marvel in the Porkies. It remains the most beautiful length of woods through which I've ever had the pleasure to walk.
I took a week-long mountaineering course in Washington's North Cascades through Outward Bound, which covered rudimentary roped travel and mountain ambulation techniques. We had two great guides, and were lucky enough to have the regional director along as well, himself an accomplished mountain guide. Spent a week at treeline, getting basic instruction in anchor building, knots, and actual climbing. We got 5 inches of snow in a two-day period, in early September; snowflakes like drink coasters. We had a bunch of fun in the good ol' Black Diamond 'mids. It was a blast.
I recently finished a year with the BLM in the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. I served as a Park Ranger, monitoring some 1,500,000 acres of canyons, cliffs, and mountains. I'd put the beauty of Unaweep Canyon up against any National Park out there...
I just wrapped up a stint as a Forestry Technician for the Shawnee National Forest--a "Forest Ranger" if you will. Any given day might've seen me at Garden of the Gods, Jackson Falls, or Lusk Creek...or all three...
I've been climbing for a while, and definitely have a love for sandstone. I'm a certified Wilderness First Responder and Leave No Trace Master Educator. In my personal pursuits I've spent more nights out under the stars than I can count. Simply put, I love a good walk. I have limited technical mountaineering experience, but am comfortable with an ice axe and crampons. I have extensive extreme weather conditions experience resultant from both my military training and personal endeavors. I wouldn't be angry if I became a professional mountain guide or SAR operator.

Economic behavior is human so why should we be surprised that there is a connection. I once applied the marginal rate of substitutution to a relationship which had gone foul. Friendship was all that could survive in the market basket because romance and the activities related to it couldn't be sustained.
Estee Lauder chose cosmetics because she undestood that if women looked into the mirror and liked what they saw, the world economy would fall flat within five days. Think of what women do to attract us and how we are motivaed to make money so we can have relationsips with them. The resulting children and the happiness and challenge of raising them would make us conclude that love makes the world go around including the economy.

POPLARVILLE - State Rep. Mark Formby of Picayune will talk to Pearl River Community College graduates on May 15 about success and what it isn't.
PRCC will hold commencement ceremonies at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 15, at the James Lynn Cartlidge Forrest County Multi Purpose Center in Hattiesburg.
Approximately 950 students have completed requirements for associate's degrees or certificates of proficiency in the past year.
Formby has represented Pearl River County in the Mississippi House of Representatives since 1993 and currently serves as the Republican majority whip. He is chairman of the Rules Committee and serves on the Oil and Gas, Insurance, Public Utilities, Marine Resources, Transportation and Ways and Means committees.
He attended PRCC after graduating from Picayune Memorial High School in 1974 but transferred to Mississippi State University after his freshman year.
"There were things I didn't appreciate at the time - the student-teacher interaction and how much more personal it was, the size of the campus, smaller classrooms, easier to meet people on the front end," he said. "In retrospect, I should have stayed. I should have enjoyed more of it."
Formby earned a bachelor's degree at MSU and served as economic development, trade and small business legislative assistant to U.S. Sen. Trent Lott from 1987-1990. He co-founded the Mississippi Legislative Conservative Coalition in 1994 and served as its first president.
He has been recognized as one of the top five pro-economic development legislators for 19 years and is currently ranked by GOP-Liberty.org as the number one conservative legislator.
Formby plans to take a somewhat different approach to his commencement address.
"Everyone talks about what success is, but the truth is I think success is different for different folks," he said. "So it is easier to talk about what success isn't and go from there."
In addition to his duties as a legislator, Formby owns and operates Formby Realty in Picayune. He is an Eagle Scout and serves as a Scout volunteer, is active in numerous civic and community groups and is a past state Jaycees president and national vice president.
Formby and his wife, Rita, have two children, six-year-old Rebekah and five-year-old Eli. The family attends First Baptist Church where he is a deacon and Sunday school teacher.
