This past Wednesday newly appointed Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development John Duncan issued an official apology from the government of Canada to Inuit for the forced high arctic relocation:
On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, we would like to offer a full and sincere apology to Inuit for the relocation of families from Inukjuak and Pond Inlet to Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay during the 1950s.
We would like to express our deepest sorrow for the extreme hardship and suffering caused by the relocation. The families were separated from their home communities and extended families by more than a thousand kilometres. They were not provided with adequate shelter and supplies. They were not properly informed of how far away and how different from Inukjuak their new homes would be, and they were not aware that they would be separated into two communities once they arrived in the High Arctic. Moreover, the Government failed to act on its promise to return anyone that did not wish to stay in the High Arctic to their old homes.
The Government of Canada deeply regrets the mistakes and broken promises of this dark chapter of our history and apologizes for the High Arctic relocation having taken place. We would like to pay tribute to the relocatees for their perseverance and courage. Despite the suffering and hardship, the relocatees and their descendants were successful in building vibrant communities in Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay. The Government of Canada recognizes that these communities have contributed to a strong Canadian presence in the High Arctic.
The relocation of Inuit families to the High Arctic is a tragic chapter in Canada's history that we should not forget, but that we must acknowledge, learn from and teach our children. Acknowledging our shared history allows us to move forward in partnership and in a spirit of reconciliation. The Government of Canada and Inuit have accomplished many great things together, and all Canadians have benefitted from the contributions of Inuit to our culture and history. We must continue to strengthen our connections and deepen our understanding and respect. We must jointly build a stronger, healthier and more vibrant Inuit Nunangat and, in turn, build a stronger, healthier and more vibrant Canada.
The forced "high arctic relocation" is a horribly little known part of Indigenous apartheid in Canada. So many families I know have relatives who were part of this and have fought for years to seek justice, even just to get the government to admit that it purposely put people there to assert so-called "Canadian sovereignty" (which is insulting even just to type those two words out). Words like "relocation" are also coercive and intentionally polite to deceive people into thinking that Inuit were just fine and happy to be moved – and of course to defend Canada's imposed right to commodify Indigenous people and make us disappear.

Your Hard Drive is Failing—Now What?
Don't panic, don't lose your cool, and above all, don't resort to violence—especially against your computer when all the data has been wipped out. The paradox of a failing hard drive is that the most frustrating event in human history requires the greatest calm. So, stay calm and follow these four simple steps to turn a catastrophic event into a convenient one.
1. Unplug!
When your hard drive begins to fail, power down the computer. Signs that your hard drive is failing include, a clicking sound, an unresponsive or frozen screen, files that become inaccessible or disappear completely, and even the blue screen of death. Hard drives don't have a self-diagnosis mechanizsm and it is upto the user to detect and diagnose the problem. A hard reboot won't raise the dead and can actually cause more damage. Depending on the problem, even trying a quick back up can toast your data. The best course to take for a failing hard drive is unplug; as in pull the surge protector out of the wall socket, remove the battery, or if you live in a green home, stop pedaling.
2. Take Inventory
Do you know what is on your failing hard drive? Is it critical? Have you backed up the drive? Is the data replaceable? These are all trick questions because if you can't answer them with 100% certainty then you shouldn't even be asking them; and when it comes to data, you can't remember enough to be 100% certain, that's why we have computers. Maybe 98% of the lost data isn't a big deal, but often find people forget about the 2% that when lost, elicits the primal scream of data loss.
It's not to say that that you shouldn't take inventory but it should be focused differently. Your inventory should determine the time sensitivity of the data. How soon do you need it? If you have backed it up, do you need to start the process of retrieving data from back up? If you haven't backed up the data, you will usually find that you need the data sooner than you think. How crippled are you until you have the data? Most of the important inventory questions should be time related questions because seldom you'll find a hard drive that doesn't have at least some irreplaceable data. Even your grandma will store something precious and irreplaceable on her computer. Our experience is that few, if any, ever regret recovering data.
3. Trust us
Everyone knows a computer genius. They will know how to recover your data, and because they are your friend, they will do it for free. Wait for it… there's that primal scream again. Yeah. There goes your data. If data recovery were that easy, places like SalvageData wouldn't exist. Your friend not only doesn't have a local Certified Class 10 ISO 4 data recovery cleanroom, he or she probably doesn't know that you need one.
Data recovery is like brain surgery, you need the right training, equipment, and experience. But even if you could trust your friend to perform brain surgery on you, you shouldn't trust them to recover your data. Trust us. We know all there is about data recovery. We also do it as quickly as possible so you can…
4. Get back to work
Our economy runs on data; and so does your business. We know how critical your data is to your bottom line. When you can't access your most important data you are out of business.
Now that you have your data back, you can get back to work. This time keep us on speed dial. Talk to our technicians and bookmark our website to get caught up on the latest ways to protect your data. However, even with all of the failsafe options available to you, hard drives fail and data becomes corrupted, sorry. But even if that happens, folks at SalvageData can help you remain calm and above all, to cut down on the frustration.

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
Well, apart of Matlab (which I could easily swap for octave or scilab, but I'm too lazy to rewrite all my code) and 2 or 3 games I use once in the year, all the other 3k+ packages on my computers are FOSS, which is probably >80%.

Well, even if I was running Matlab 8 hours a day, it would be using a OSS desktop environment using an OSS graphic server running on an OSS kernel, which means its percentage of wasted resources cannot exceed 25%. If you add all the remaining apps (web browser, mail client, terms and text editors, and so on), I doubt it will ever be over 20%.
Your phone can run "linux" and still have mostly closed-sourced software.
What about your wireless router? The firmware in your car? Your smartphone? Hell, even MicroSD cards run an embedded OS on an ARM processor to handle bad block remapping and to make it easier to test the cards before they leave the factory.
If you want to stick strictly to your desktop PC, let's talk about the software running on your network card, GPU, SSD, hard drive (some hard drives even have serial ports that you can connect to and see terminal output!).

On our PCs at home, it's in the 80% or more category. We have a few closed-source applications (Linux versions of Mathematica, Bibble Pro, etc.), and there are some binary blobs in the video drivers, but everything else is FOSS, both applications and OS.
On our telephones, the open source fraction is much lower. Android is partly open source, but most of the applications are proprietary and closed. There are some exceptions: VLC, Firefox, ssh, AVG, and a few others are FOSS.
On our work PCs, we have some open source applications (GIMP, Inkscape, VLC, etc.) but the OS is Windows, and most of the applications are closed source. Currently even Firefox and Chromium are disallowed by corporate policy, and cannot be installed or run. I expect it to get worse, and for more FOSS software to be blocked.

Another recommendation for F-Droid here. A lot of the programs I use regularly on my phone are from there. The rest typically come with Android.
Among regularly-used software, on my work PC, it's Windows, MS Office, Visual Studio, and Paint.NET on the closed-source side, and Notepad++, SumatraPDF, Chromium, Thunderbird, PDFCreator for OSS; so greater than 50%.
At home I dualboot Windows (for games, which are closed-source) and Linux, but most of the software I use on both is OSS, so probably > 75% there.
How about Open Source games?
There are a number of them thanks to Humble Bundle.
There's also a fair number of Open Source games of decent quality from the community.
Wesnoth (TBS), Spring (RTS), Hedgewars (ballistic TBS)

Those are appliances, I use them not their software. I couldn't care less if they are software supported, firmware driven or rely on mechanical cybernetic automata to perform their function.
No smart phone or tablet. Just a 7 year old dumb Motorola that just makes calls.
A big chunk of the software on my phone is open-source, which helps offset the software on my game console, which mostly isn't. But both are dwarfed (at least by number if not by byte-count) by the software on my desktop, which is almost completely open-source.
Yes, by title I'm easily above 80% - but by time spent using them a couple of non open sourced things on my phone get used really a lot.
Whereas, on my main box... well, I did finally break down and install the actual flash plugin. That's about it, though.
I too answered "80-100%" without thinking about my phones/tablet.
Both PCs are mostly FOSS, with the exceptions of Skype, Flash, and (on the work laptop) oXygenXML.
Phones and tablet all run Android with (I suspect) mostly closed-source apps. I guess I should look more seriously into Cyanogenmod and F-Droid.
Not me. Maemo is mostly FOSS.
It's a pity Nokia gave up on Debian based phones, and when they were selling them you had to go out of your way to find the things. Some repair shops still have unused N900 phones - still amazing years after release but a bit heavy for a phone.
Should I count the software in my car also? That would probably drive the percentage to near zero. I said 50% because I spend so much time using Firefox and cygwin, but on Windows. I generously allowed Microsoft 50% for their contribution to the ecosystem.
A tablet is what I take when I have a headache, my mobile phone is an appliance (nothing smart, no even a camera, maybe it can double as a wakeup alarm only if I wakeup because of it, but most of the time I don't). With the exception of Darwinia, everything is open source on my computers (including the ones at the office) - I'm well over 99% OSS.
Even if it might not be terribly important, I wish more games were open sourced. I think the "risk" of opening the code isn't actually that bad as the companies might think. If there are some licensed parts, remove them by all means. After, say, 5 years after the release of the game, open the source and keep the art files something you have to buy. The game can still keep churning money and if you're lucky, you might get a Linux port for free, which means another bunch of extra sales. Apart from some rare
In terms of number of programs I probably have more proprietary ones than open source on my hard drive. However, I spend most of my time using OSS. Mostly Firefox and Thunderbird (on my home laptop anyway).
At work, I use almost all Windows based applications, none of which are open source At home I use FreeBSD for a lot of things, and that's all open source. I also use a lot of software I've written myself, some of which is open source, but mostly not.
No, really, I don't know. I use what's best for the task at hand, and I never look to see if it's open sourced or not. For menial or rare tasks i use the best freeware I could find, and for heavy duty I usually choose the best paid application, unless its price is really huge.
Furthermore, I don't compile source code unless I have to.

Almost everything I use is open source except for some electronic design tools. However, these tools are kind of important since electronic design is how I make a living. They have no remotely viable open source alternatives and in some cases, no open source alternatives at all.

That's a philosophical question. When I go to facebook via my web browser, facebook is not the software. My web browser is the software. When I view the page, the web browser displays the HTML/CSS appropriately while running the JS. However, facebook's server does send me this data, and I indirectly use the server's database. If I always use an open source web browser and then I go to a proprietary site, does it nullify it? But, of course, you are providing money to the proprietary sites either via advertising or actual money.
Also, although facebook may not be open source, they have contributed to things like Memcached and have created Hiphop for PHP and use Linux servers. Linux servers are also more dominant in the market place.
This is also a very variable statistic. They may decide to switch servers (Linux/BSD vs MS/Apple). They may decide to switch programming languages/frameworks/libraries (RoR/PHP vs C#/ASP). They may decide to switch maps (Google vs Bing). How many sites use NodeJS or AngularJS or use Google Maps?
I think because this statistic is too hard to track that it should be left out for now.
What does the "view source" menu option do in *your* web browser? Seems like pretty much every web site is open source from my perspective.
Then again, there's the meta-point that if the JavaScript is obfuscated, it is sort of "less open source", because the source has been intentionally made hard to read for humans.

Hadn't thought of that... my washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, car, printer, scanner, set top box, and tv all have software in them, and with the possible exception of the set top box (I think that runs linux) none of that is open source.
At home I run Linux and open source for everything except tax preparation software. So, not quite 100% open source but really close.

Looked into running Windoze in some sort of VM (I'm fond of KVM). The problem is that the laptop harddrive is full disk encrypted using Sophos which seems to be integrated with the network security. Also, Windoze detects that the underlying hardware has changed (virtual devices not the same as underlying real hardware) and wants to be reactived.
Games count as software and just about every big title is "closed source" in terms of both engine and assets (art, music, sound) save for the older id games engines and the few open source games out there. So I do play a lot of closed source games but tend to use open source tools and utilities.

Plex is another big GPL-licensed tool I use, but at least part of the code is closed source, so I'm not really sure how to rate that one.
TWAIN-SANE is another excellent project. It allows me to support my legacy USB scanner. Perfectly good hardware, but Canon stopped supporting it years ago.
Almost my entire computing life exists within Mint Linux, with nothing but Open Source software, or on my Android phone. Come to think of it, I have no idea how much of software (apps) on my phone is actually Open Source...
Beyond that though, the only things I run that aren't Open Source are Quickbooks (because, no, GnuCash is NOT the same) and Photoshop (because no, the GMIP is NOT the same) which run in a Windows VM about once a month.

Frankly, I think the closed-source client software I use is a pretty thin shell around lots of layers of mostly-open stuff.

WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' July 2012 jobs report showing that 163,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment rate was little changed at 8.3 percent:
"Our economy has added jobs in the private sector for 29 consecutive months, but we need to see larger numbers in order to bring down our unemployment rate.
"Far too many Americans are still struggling as a result of the economic downturn. Today's data remind us that we have more to do to put Americans back to work. It is clear that Washington should make job creation legislation the priority for the reminder of the year."

Final Score: (1) Alabama 44, Tennessee 13
Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - AJ McCarron completed 17-of-22 passes
for a career-best 306 yards along with four touchdowns, as top-ranked Alabama
blew out Tennessee, 44-13, at Neyland Stadium.
T.J. Yeldon rushed for 129 yards and a pair of scores for the Crimson Tide
(7-0, 4-0 SEC), which hosts nationally-ranked Mississippi State next Saturday
night. The Bulldogs are also 7-0 following a blowout win over Middle
Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 162 yards and two TDs.
"Everyone came out fired up. We came out and set the tone early, and that's
what we needed to do," McCarron said.
A.J. Johnson ran for a touchdown, and Tyler Bray completed 13-of-27 passes for
184 yards and was picked off twice for the Volunteers (3-4, 0-4), who lost
their third straight game.
"We got whipped by a great football team in just about every phase," Tennessee
coach Derek Dooley said. "I'm really disappointed that we didn't execute a
little better on offense. That's probably the thing I was a little surprised
at. The quarterback didn't play well. Not sure why. It's a great defense.
That's not to take anything away from Alabama. Nobody's really done much on
McCarron found Cooper alone in the right side of the end zone for a 23-yard
score with 8:18 left in the first quarter.
Michael Palardy then kicked a 32-yard field goal for the Volunteers, and
Tennessee stayed in the game when Cade Foster missed wide right on a 44-yard
field goal try early in the second quarter.
C.J. Mosley's interception of Bray set up the Crimson Tide at the Tennessee
32. Yeldon carried the ball all four times during the short drive, finishing
it with a 1-yard plunge. The margin stood at 13-3 due to a blocked extra point
Cooper's 54-yard catch highlighted another Alabama scoring drive. McCarron's
pass to a wide open Michael Williams in the end zone widened the gap to 20-3
with 6:55 remaining in the half.
Johnson scored on a 2-yard run off a direct snap on the ensuing series, but
the Crimson Tide got a 34-yard field goal from Jeremy Shelley with 1:24 left
for a 23-10 difference at the break.
The Vols may have been closer, but Justin Hunter dropped a long pass that
would have put Tennessee in field goal range.
Foster missed a 45-yard field goal attempt early in the third, this after
Alabama had a TD pass wiped out due to a penalty.
The Vols threatened to cut into the deficit later in the period, but Johnson
was stuffed for no gain on 4th-and-1 from the Alabama 33.
"I think it was a big play of the game," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "It
was big on third down because they took a shot, and we defended it."
The Crimson Tide drove to the end zone on the following series with McCarron's
42-yard TD strike to Cooper.
Alabama turned an interception into points early in the fourth when Kenny Bell
caught a 39-yard scoring toss from McCarron for a 37-10 margin.
Yeldon scored on a 43-yard run before Palardy kicked a 21-yard field goal.
Game Notes
Alabama has won the last six meetings ... McCarron's passing yards were the
most in a single game for Alabama since Greg McElroy threw for 377 against
Auburn Nov. 26, 2010 ... Alabama and Louisiana Tech are the only FBS teams not
to have thrown an interception this season. It has been 10 games since a
Crimson Tide quarterback threw an interception ... McCarron now has 239
passing attempts without an interception ... Tennessee is 2-10 all-time
against top-ranked teams and hasn't beaten a No. 1 squad since Sept. 28, 1985
vs. Auburn ... The Vols haven't won against a ranked team since beating No. 21
South Carolina, 31-13, on Oct. 31, 2009.

Nadya Suleman has been called plenty of things over the years — just not "author".
Octo-Mom has finished the autobiography of her less-than-typical life as the mother-of-14, including octuplets born in 2009, and the worldwide media frenzy that surrounded her since their birth.
There is only one problem: no one wants to publish the book.
Nadya has been shopping her book around to publishers, but no one has offered her a publication deal that she wants to go with," a source close to Octo-Mom exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
"She has been talking with publishers, but is not nearing a deal.
"She is holding out because she is not being offered a lucrative deal, and she feel like her personal story is worth a lot more than anyone is even interested in paying."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Rocks Her Bikini In Her Backyard
In 2009, Nadya's lawyer Jeff Czech confirmed that Wendy Leigh would be ghost writing the book, but RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that Leigh, who ghost wrote My Life with Madonna, Christopher Ciccone's book about his famous sister, quit the job.
"She agreed to write the book, but once she found out the pay and conditions Nadya was going to insist on, she quit working with her," the source added.
Leigh declined to comment on her relationship with Nadya when reached by RadarOnline.com.
PHOTOS: Octo-Mom And Kids At The Beach
Nadya has written the entire book by herself, but for those wanting to know, she doesn't reveal the identity of the man she says was the sperm donor for all 14 of her kids.
She is also keeping the title of the book secret: "She thinks it is clever and will make people want to buy the book."
Publishers are curious about the exclusive details Nadya can provide about her lifestyle and issues with raising 14 children without a steady stream of income that haven't been public knowledge.
EXCLUSIVE: Jon Gosselin Writing A Book Too
And keeping with the family infighting, RadarOnline.com has learned that Nadya's father Ed Doud is writing his own book, chronicling her childhood.
We're told he hasn't found a publisher yet either.

We're having trouble finishing games off that we control for the majority of the game. Its not like we're getting worked from beginning to the end like when Mike Brown was here.
We did not control the Orlando game. They scored 113 points when they average 93. They shot 50% when they average 44%.
REALLY BAD DEFENSE. that is the common denominator.
we gave up 40 points in the 4th Q. If you take that out its 73 in 3Q which is not bad considering the pace of the game. They scored 35 points in the last 7 minutes of the game which means the 1st 5 mins of the 4th we gave up 5 points. We were up 7 with 7 minutes left in the game. We had a lead, we played adequate defense on them. Just like tonight, on Sunday we just didnt get the job done and finish of a great game we played for more than 3Qs. Its as simple as that. Whether we ran out of gas, Hack a Dwight, killer instinct, whatever it may be, our issues are mainly in the 4th Q finishing games off
so we agree? failing to play defense the last 7 minutes lost us the game? Yes, I think so too.
That's the whole point. Who cares if we play good defense for part of the game....the part where they didn't cost us the game.

New album: The Speed Of Things
Artist: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5
There was a time when 1980s pop music was ridiculed for its plasticity and inherently short shelf life. Aside from Duran Duran and a few others, most mainstream bands who planted their flag in the 1980s were ordered off the face of the earth on Jan. 1, 1990. Perversely, many of today's fawned upon pop acts are drenched in 1980s musical influences — including the Detroit duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
"The Speed of Things" is the band's second long player, but much like their "It's A Corporate World" debut, the songs are wrapped in a Brian Wilson quilt on top of a Soft Cell comforter. It's hard to tell whether the streamlined electronic landscapes on this new work are lampoon, lamenting or celebrating the icy keyboard pop of the Reagan years. At worst the album is mildly entertaining.
How Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein came to name their group Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is anybody's guess. Maybe they wanted to tap into the historically loyal fan base that NASCAR is famous for. It would be interesting to know how many times a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan drank a little too much Diet Mt. Dew and accidentally purchased this band's music.
Stereotypical race fan music this is not, but there is plenty of melody on opening track "Beautiful Dream", which features a Baba O'Riley-esque keyboard loop and a vocal right in line with some of Animal Collective more sane moments.
In fact, "The Speed of Things" is loaded with great songs. The problem is the reliance on synthetic instrumentation sucks the life out of mini-pop masterpieces such as "Knock Louder" and "Don't Tell Me." The digital synthesizers work here and there, but sometimes antiquated notions such as a drummer and a bass player do lend themselves to more memorable music.
The Human League photocopy that is "If You Didn't See Me (You Weren't On The Dance Floor)" recalls "Don't You Want Me Baby" to the point of mockery, although it'll no doubt be a hit with the veteran 26-year-old contributors to Rolling Stone. When originality and political strife stopped selling records, kitsch stepped up to the plate in a big way. As infuriating as some of "The Speed of Things" can be, "Dark Water" and "Don't Tell Me" are perfect vehicles for a synth band and great songs to boot.
Keeping a band of four or five musicians together is nearly impossible, so maybe this group's foray into synthesizer land was born out of practicality. Whatever the reason, the songwriting of Epstein and Zott will probably be enough to overpower any stylistic roadblocks they've laid out for themselves.
Classic album: Mellow Yellow
Artist: Donovan

Donovan Leitch made many classic albums with producer Mickie Most, and "Mellow Yellow" was one of the most popular. Between its hit single title track and assistance from future Led Zeppelin member John Paul Jones, "Mellow Yellow" was a watershed moment in Donovan's career.
Although he was mired in contract shenanigans at the time, Donovan's songwriting was still the embodiment of the hippy dippy dream. In fact, "Mellow Yellow" was the beginning of Donovan's full-on embrace of the psychedelicism that was spreading rampantly in 1966-67. Rumored to be a song about smoking dried banana peels (it wasn't), "Mellow Yellow" nevertheless became an early anthem of the herbally-adventurous crowd and a worldwide pop hit to boot.
Misunderstood lyrics aside, the "Mellow Yellow" album has stood the test of time, yet still manages to sound (gloriously) dated. The woodwinds and strings on "Writer in the Sun" (a song referencing the aforementioned contract hassles) are so earnest they border on parody, but it's hard to imagine the song without them. The acoustic bleakness of "Sand and Foam" and "Hampstead Incident" no doubt had an effect on the work of Nick Drake and "Sea Change"-era Beck. Donavan's intriguing vocal phrasing pitted against his underrated guitar work is one of the greatest combinations in all of pop music.
The sly Bert Jansch tribute "House of Jansch" was never promoted to commercial radio, but it should have been. "House of Jansch" is a distant relative to another Donovan hit, "Season of the Witch," and its melody and arrangement are intoxicating. The sitar boogie of "Sunny South Kensington" makes England sound like a really cool place to be in the late 1960s, complete with shout-outs to Allen Ginsberg and other notable freak magnets of the time. Historical perspective changes the tint of the rose colored glasses a bit, but the power of the music is intact.
Donovan was on an incredible streak in the late 1960s, and "Mellow Yellow" was only the tip of the iceberg. The albums "Sunshine Superman," "A Gift From A Flower To A Garden," "Barabajabal" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man" are all recommended listening.

Comments about Gander Mountain Grizzly Cub Family Tent:
Most tents block the windows once the fly is put on. The reverse angle of the sides on this tent allow views AND you can open them in a light rain without letting the rain in. It's similar to the Coleman Montana series without the alcove coverage of the Montana. We have a Montana 4, 2 Montana 6's, and a Montana 8 and love them. However, The Montanas are only 7' from front to back. The grizzly cub is 8'. That's a big difference because NOW we can get our mojo cots into each side of the tent and have space in the middle for our guide series organizer which we use as a night stand. Plus we can stand up all the way!!

Comments about Gander Mountain Grizzly Cub Family Tent:
We bought this during a disastrous wet camp trip to replace another tent about three years ago. This one was AWESOME. Pretty easy set-up, best done with two people. Nice and roomy. We don't use the room divider, as it falls across someone's bag all the time (family of 5). Good ventilation and dry. Third year of use, though, the poles split, and Gander doesn't have replacements. Found some on line, but expensive. Still deciding whether to invest in new poles or a new tent.

SNOW HILL — A budget crunch has the Greene County Animal Shelter casting about for repair money to fix problems cited in a state inspection and, the county's health director says, to simply to stay in business.
A $13,000 budget cut, part of a general austerity drive in a county government shaken by revenue shortfalls, has Health Director Michael Rhodes worried about the shelter's future.
"If we have a full shelter," he said, "I don't know if we'll have enough money to buy food (for the animals)."
A shelter inspector came out unannounced Tuesday and found a number of violations.
Rhodes said the annual inspection had been overdue — the last one was about a year and half ago. Many of the issues documented by inspector Lisa Carlson, from the Animal Welfare Section of the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, have been ongoing, but have never been cited in the past, Rhodes said.
The violations include drainage problems, roof leaks, patched up fencing at the dog run gates and missing doors between the inside and outside dog kennels.
The concrete drainage has flow problems. The report states, "Water mixed with urine, feces and cleaning products is stagnant and standing in gravel." Staff — an animal control officer and a shelter attendant — has to push the mixture down the drain with brooms, Rhodes said.
"That was something I was hoping would already have been fixed," he said about the drainage.
The roof is leaking in an enclosed space that was added to connect two buildings. Rhodes said the roof has been patched, but Carlson apparently saw the roof was leaking because it was raining the day she came to inspect.
Other problems include unsanitary seepage between kennel walls, cat and dog door frames rusted through, the lack of numbering on the fronts of the kennels and an old washer and dryer left behind the building. Other issues include resealing, painting and repairing.
"We're in trouble," Rhodes said. "We can't even buy a washing machine that broke."
The larger dogs sometimes bite the chain link fence right through and the holes are patched with wire, he said.
"Evidently, the kinds of repairing we're doing, (Carlson) isn't pleased," Rhodes said. "I mean, we could spend $25,000 down there. We don't have that kind of money."
They do have a $2,000 ASPCA grant they received several months back. Rhodes said he's been trying to get estimates and repairmen have not showed up.
Plans are to use the funds to repair the drainage and probably the roof leaks.
Carlson did have one positive remark on the inspection sheet.
"It is quite obvious that this staff of two genuinely cares for all the animals that they shelter," the report states. "All animals on premise appear to be happy and healthy."
Carlson is expected to return to the facility around 60 days.

I've been reading "Rolling Stone" since I was a teenager living close to Frisco, CA. *Think I was 14 when I first started reading it! RS always had the most interesting stories on the Musicians that are popular at the moment; and/or past musicians that you'd like to hear what they've been UP to lately! I can never get enough of my Rolling Stones! BTW the mag is Highly Collectable! As soon as you buy one, it already has increased in appreciation! True. Another thing about RS, it's not limited to musicians, NO! There's also stories about famous Stars, interviews that ask the questions you want to hear, and gives you the unedited answers you want to hear! NO editing is alot more interesting than other mags that 'bleep' out those certain words most of us use too.Let's face it, the 'words' are all over the TV & online, there's NO getting around it! That's one thing that drew me to it long ago; they've NEVER pulled any punches, & I doubt ever will~!! Gimme my RS mag, with all it's many moments of Insight & reputable memories! Buy one & SEE for yourself!

I love the political articles. they are up to date. great interviews
I can still remember a piece I read in a Rolling Stone issue some 15 years ago; it's one of the reasons I decided to become a writer. The pieces will entertain and enlighten, and some part of the material will stick with you months after you read it. Whether the writers are covering a well-known subject, or one that's just emerging, you can't help but be impressed by the way they get to the heart of the matter, asking questions and getting details you wish you could remember to do if you ever found yourself in these same situations or in front of these same subjects. Reading these articles is probably the closest I'll ever get to some of these topics and people, and in the writers' capable hands, I'm fine with that.
Rolling Stone is a great magazine to keep updates on music and entertainment. It also has great in-depth articles on politics and other important issues. I look forward to every issue.
I have always enjoyed this magazine and remember when my father was a subscriber. The political articles tend to reflect a definite liberal slant, but if you can get past that it's fine.
I'm an old member of the counter-culture circuit of the sixties and so have been subscribing on and off (mostly on) to Rolling Stone since the early 70's.
Love getting my Rolling Stone in the mail. In addition to the immense amount of music info, there are always interesting political articles. Great magazine!
Rolling Stone Magazine is a household name that I hope to view poetry in music as a new trend to grasp.
Been reading Rolling Stone since the first issue. Always reliable reportage and some breakthroughs over the decades.

Rolling Stone Magazine Subscription Video Review
Hi. My name is Levi Weaver.
Rolling Stone is not just a magazine, they are an institution. You never hear it brought up in a conversation where someone asks "Rolling…what?" It's like MTV, Google, Chevrolet, The Dallas Cowboys, …Rolling Stone. It's been a part of our culture for so long now that even in the internet age, this name is synonymous with the biggest names in the music scene.
The biggest acts, the most-coveted festival tickets, the newest videos, the best photos - you're always going to find those in this magazine and on their website. And it will be that way for as long as we have magazines and musicians. Every kid who picks up a guitar or a microphone wants to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
On the other hand, most non-entertainers want to avoid it. And that's really where Rolling Stone shines above and beyond other music magazines; it takes that rock and roll ethos and aims it outward. Do you want to read about rebel fighters in Latin America? How about a scathing exposé on some of the bailout CEOs? Curious what's going on with the Presidential candidates? All of this has absolutely nothing to do with The Edge's guitar pedalboard or the latest Bon Iver release (those are there, too), but it fits. It's not just a glitzy photobook about rock stars.
Of course, at its core, Rolling Stone is, and always has been, a music magazine. Reviews of the latest releases (not just music, but movies, DVDs, and books), interviews, articles… they're all there like you'd expect. And honestly, the reason you expect it is because that has been Rolling Stone's way from the beginning.
New music magazines come and go, and some of them are really excellent, but this standard was set decades ago. Rolling Stone always manages to pry something else, something new, something more personal out of artists, and that, really, is the crux of it.
We still look up to rock stars, on some level, and to have a glimpse into how they think and feel; that's still something that keeps your attention.
Thanks for stopping by Magazines.com and for taking the time to check out my Rolling Stone magazine subscription review.
