Guatemala January 2015December 30,
We are again thankful for all that we have been given as we are
celebrating the holidays of many religions. A group of volunteers will soon
be leaving for Guatemala under the guidance of Kathy Price, a saint in the true
meaning of the word. She has made more than 40 trips to Guatemala City and
the surrounding areas to help the indigenous people who struggle every day with
needs we take for granted and fulfill without a thought.
Click Image for Larger View of Past
This particular trip is centered around providing care for children with facial
deformities including cleft lips and palates, cleft noses, and simple oral needs
which will include removal of abscessed and decayed teeth. Children with
respiratory needs will be given specialized care from a respiratory therapist. This
is the 5th medical mission for this group, and the 4th for me personally. It
brings great pleasure to correct facial deformities that will change these
children's lives.
In addition, there will be general dental care, visitation to an
orphanage, a visit to a newly constructed hospice for children (a dream of Kathy
Price and Doctor Edgar Moran, another true giver to mankind) and other visits
to help these impoverished indigenous Indians.
The volunteers (greater than 15 in number) will PAY THEIR ENTIRE
PURCHASES!! However, there will be many costs that will need to be covered to
make this mission successful: medicines, disposable supplies (scalpels, sutures,
dressings, gowns, and sterilization equipment. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN REALLY
Please keep us in your prayers while we work in Guatemala and
please help fund this very worthwhile project!

It's a good thing Jim Williams didn't throw the notice out. It's a heads-up from his credit card company, Capital One, that his APR is doubling from 9.9 percent to 17.9 percent. Why?
"The reason, because of extraordinary economic changes," said Jim.
Despite Jim's credit score and 10-year history with the company, Capital One wouldn't change their mind about the rate hike.
"I pay early, I pay more than the minimum, but yet they're still going to raise my interest rate," he said.
If you get a notice like this, read it carefully, contact your card issuer to check your options. If you ignore it you could be hit with late fees and even higher interest rates.

Another thing to watch out for - lowered spending limits, which could end up hurting your credit score.
"I made actually three calls," said Jim.
He says he never got a satisfying reason for the rate increase. As a result, he paid of the entire balance so he wouldn't have to deal with it any more.
"Their solution to fixing their economic problems is to raise others' interest rate?" said Jim.

Proud single mommy to LUKE born 09/26/09 and BRYNN born 05/20/12!
Im so sorry this is happening to you. No one deserves this. I am so angry right now. Why have so many men decided that woman are disposible.
It's all going to be okay. I just threw my phone on the couch because my baby's father put me into a terrible mood (again). We're all here to listen & support. Stay strong & merry christmass!
So sorry you have to go through this, especially during Christmas!

Men are just ASSHOLES!

I am to a pregnant single mom, I'm pregnant with twins! The day I told SD (sperm donor) he asked not to be involved and to leave him alone. He doesn't even know I'm having twins. Yes when I really think about and "focus" on it..it hurts badly! So now I focus on other things, postive things like music, and things that make me happy. Our babies don't deserve to feel the unhappiness we feel. Try googling "positive pregnancy affirmations" and read them every morning and every night. Even when you don't want to! But please try it!! Being a "single mom" is not a bad thing. You define what being a single mom is. Surround urself around people who love you not those who will bring you down. They are toxic! And can hurt you mentally...I listened to Lauryn hills "Zion" and the song made me cry because it's all Gods blessing that were pregnant!

One dead, widespread destruction in Tonga cyclone
Published on Jan 12, 2014 8:09 PM
NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga (AFP) - The most powerful cyclone ever to slam into the South Pacific tourist destination of Tonga has destroyed villages, flattened trees and left at least one person dead, officials said on Sunday.
Up to 70 per cent of houses and buildings in the central Ha'apai islands group, which is home to about 8,000 people and bore the brunt of Cyclone Ian, were damaged or destroyed.
The Tongan government declared a state of emergency in the Ha'apai region after it was pounded by winds in excess of 105 knots (200kmh) which whipped up mountainous seas around coastal villages.
Although initial reports when the cyclone hit on Saturday said there had only been minor damage, the full extent of the destruction began to emerge when communications were partially restored a day later.

More such units to be set up across the city within three months
Mayor K. Chandrika has said the newly installed e-toilet unit at the Kowdiar Park a significant step in improving the sanitation and health facilities in the city.
She was speaking during the inauguration of the first e-toilet set up by the city Corporation , in association with Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation (KELTRON) and city-based Eram Scientific Solutions that designed the unit.
Similar units were installed within the Museum grounds and on premises of the Kanakakkunnu Palace over a year ago.
Spots identified
Corporation Works standing committee chairman V.S. Padmakumar, who presided over the inaugural function, said that 20 such units were initially envisaged by the Corporation and 10 spots had been identified for the purpose. "We plan to set up these toilets at the identified locations within three months," he said.
He added that in the light of the garbage and sanitation problems faced by the city, a solution had been devised to provide people with clean toilet facilities. Sasthamangalam, Pettah, Palayam and Statue Junction are some of the locations where the units would be set up in the near future. "The public toilets in the city are notoriously unclean and unhygienic and thus people have reservations about using them. So such units, with automatic cleaning mechanisms, come as a real blessing especially for women," said the Mayor.
The unit is made of stainless steel and fibreglass, which lie to rest worries of the structure getting corroded. The unit consists of automatic closet and platform cleaning mechanisms. On inserting a Rs. 2 coin, the sliding door of the unit opens. Clear instructions are also depicted on the unit. In addition, a sewage treatment system supplements the unit, with wastes taken care of minus any cost on public health.
The inside is fitted with lights and fan, controlled by sensors and hence functions only once a person enters the unit. A health faucet and even an FM player is installed, which according to the representatives of Eram Scientific, could be turned into a system that conveys public service messages by the government.

SF official wants to restrict police role in terrorism probes
Story byG.W. Schulz
A San Francisco politician wants tougher oversight of local police and the role they play in terrorism investigations following complaints from residents that they were unnecessarily targeted for questioning and surveillance by Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
Dozens of new task forces led by the FBI were created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks so local, state and federal law enforcement could work together to smoke out terrorism plots. But at times, they've been accused of too zealously collecting intelligence on people who have done little or nothing wrong.
San Francisco City and County Supervisor Jane Kim wants the police department to fall in line with state and local privacy rules that restrict what information police can amass, and she wants investigators to refrain from gathering intelligence on people unless there is reasonable suspicion that the person has engaged in criminal conduct.Controversy around law enforcement spying led to new general orders adopted during the 1990s that, among other things, required senior approval for San Francisco Police Department investigations of a person or group involved in First Amendment activities, such as political demonstrations. The rules also directed that the independent San Francisco Police Commission periodically review the investigations for compliance.
But civil liberties groups say police in San Francisco quietly signed a 2007 memorandum with the FBI in which they agreed to follow less-restrictive federal guidelines on intelligence gathering.
Last week, the police department issued a statement saying that the agreement no longer applied and that Chief Greg Suhr, who was appointed by Mayor Ed Lee last year, had since issued an order declaring that all personnel participating in a terrorism task force still operate under the San Francisco department's chain of command and must comply with California law.
"Meaning no disrespect to the authors and supporters of the proposed ordinance, the chief believes that their concerns are already addressed," the statement says.
The San Francisco Human Rights Commission heard testimony on the issue of police surveillance during a 2010 public meeting in which one civil rights attorney claimed that the FBI had attempted to entice his clients into becoming informants with the promise of citizenship and legal status.
The American Civil Liberties Union in December accused the FBI of using "community outreach" in California as a ruse to racially profile and gather intelligence on Muslims. Heavily redacted documents the group obtained through the Freedom of Information Act showed agents had compiled personal information like Social Security numbers and searched state vehicle registration records for the names of people they'd come into contact with at community events.
"The FBI should be honest with community organizations about what information is being collected during meetings and purge any improperly collected information," Michael German, an FBI agent-turned-ACLU senior policy counsel, said at the time.
While the advocacy group says it considered the bureau's conduct illegal, FBI officials have argued that they're simply trying to ease relations with the Muslim community and see to it that the civil rights of people who might be perceived as potential terrorists are protected.

John Carmody (Center for Sustainable Building Research) has published a viewpoint (scroll down) in the May-August 2009 issue of momentum magazine, published by the University's Institute on the Environment. Carmody writes about the need to extend LEED to "focus on real performance metrics and outcomes, not just on best practices." He cites Sustainable Building 2030 and Architecture 2030 which aim to get to net-zero carbon or net-zero energy buildings by 2030 on the state and national levels, respectively.

Skyrocketing Prices Make Metal Solid Investment
By Tom Gibbons
The main driver behind the price increase for metals is increasing demand in emerging economies in the world. Even as the U.S. economy slows, demand for commodities remains strong worldwide.
"Commodities offer an opportunity that's non-correlating to the stock market," says Mike Bowen of WealthTrust Arizona in Scottsdale.
In early July, the Dow Jones Industrial Average entered bear territory–indicated by the index falling 20 percent below its recent high. The stock markets have been sluggish at best since last summer when the mortgage crisis first hit.
Bowen says his company has a futures-contract investment vehicle that was up 15 percent for the year in early July.
While commodities represent a chance for investors to diversify, like any other investment, they come with risk.
"You have to be able to go long and short with them," says Bowen. With futures contracts, investors or their money managers are able to bet whether commodities will go up or down.
Part of the reason prices for copper and other metals are high may be because speculators have invested heavily in them. Just as investors bid up stocks in the late 1990s and real estate for much of this decade, money is pouring into commodities.
"A bubble could be forming," Bowen says.
Still, the underlying demand looks like it will remain strong, which is increasing exploration and development in Arizona.
"This wasn't the case a few years ago," says Nyal J. Niemuth, chief mining engineer for the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources.
Companies ramping up efforts
Mining companies are again plunging into the ground looking for pay dirt. Recent ventures include:
Resolution Copper Co., a joint venture of Rio Tinto and BHP- Billiton, is drilling in order to find more information about the size of a huge deposit near Superior. The operation is predicated on a federal land swap that is pending before Congress. Indian tribes and environmental groups heavily oppose the land swap.
BHP-Billiton reopened the Pinto Valley mine–idle since 1998–in October.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold plans to resume operations in Miami in 2010.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold's predecessor company, Phelps- Dodge, rode the price run-up in copper to prosperity.
In 2002, Phelps Dodge lost $338 million. But when athe price of copper started its ascent in 2003, the company returned to profitability. The stock soared, and the Phoenix-based company proposed a three-way merger with two Canadian companies in 2006.
After that deal fell apart, rival Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold swooped in and acquired Phelps Dodge for $26 billion. The deal was completed in March 2007.
Freeport-McMoRan then moved its headquarters from New Orleans to Phoenix. Freeport-McMoRan employs 8,700 in Arizona. At the time of the merger, Phelps Dodge had approximately 5,525 employees in Arizona.
"The increase since then is largely attributable to increases in employment at our mining operations," Eric E. Kinneberg, director of external communications for Freeport-McMoRan, wrote in an e-mail.
Besides the Miami mine, Freeport-McMoRan plans to invest approximately $370 million in capital in its Morenci, Bagdad and Sierrita operations, Kinneberg said.
The rise in commodities is a bit of a double-edged sword for the mining company.
"Mining is an energy-intensive industry, so we are impacted by the increasing cost of fuel and power," says Kinneberg. "We also use significant amounts of steel products and reagents, the prices of which have also been increasing.
"However, the increases in the prices of our products have more than offset these cost pressures."
Freeport-McMoRan reported earnings of $2.64 per share in first quarter of 2008, compared to per-share earnings of $2.02 in the same quarter of 2007.
The company benefitted from increased copper prices and production, specifically noting a reopened mine in Safford.
"Copper sales in North America totaled 339 million pounds in the first quarter of 2008, 32 million pounds higher than the pro forma first-quarter 2007 principally because of the commencement of production at the recently commissioned Safford mine," the company reported.
Consolidated sales from mines for the first quarter totaled 911 million pounds of copper, 280,000 ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum, compared with 520 million pounds of copper, 956,000 ounces of gold and 2 million pounds of molybdenum for first- quarter 2007.
And overall production is expected to increase substantially this year compared to 2007. Consolidated sales from mines are expected to approximate 4.2 billion pounds of copper, 1.4 million ounces of gold and 75 million pounds of molybdenum in 2008, the company reported.

IPOH: A National Service trainee died yesterday, five days after coming down with fever.
His mother rushed to see him in hospital but he died at the Teluk Intan Hospital before she could get there.
Afiq Zuhairi Ahmat Rozal had been a trainee at the Kem Sentosa Chenderiang.
Che Rosnah Hashim, 52, said she last heard from Afiq, her fifth son, last Friday when he called to inform the family that he had come down with a fever.
"I did not think much of it then as I thought it was just a fever," she said here yesterday.
"I was shocked when the National Service Training Department called me on Tuesday to inform me that my son had been admitted to Tapah Hospital after his condition worsened."
Che Rosnah said she and her family then rushed to Tapah Hospital, but her son had been transferred.
"He was transferred to the Teluk Intan Hospital on Tuesday evening, as his condition was unstable," the housewife said, adding that her son was pronounced dead later that night at 9.30pm.
Che Rosnah said in her last conversation with Afiq Zuhairi, 18, he told her that he had sought treatment from the camp doctor.
Afiq Zuhairi, who joined the camp on March 19, had just obtained his SPM results and was planning to further his studies.
"But now he is gone. I accept it as Allah's will," Che Rosnah said.
Afiq Zuhairi was buried in his hometown, Kampung Serdang Permai, Simpang Pulai, here at 3pm yesterday after zohor prayers.
National Service Training Department director-general Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil said the department was awaiting the post-mortem on the cause of death.
He said Afiq Zuhairi reported at the camp's medical centre last Friday for fever and was treated by the assistant medical officer.
On Monday, he again reported sick and was treated by the medical assistant and nurse at the camp.
The next day, when his fever persisted, he was sent to the Tapah polyclinic and subsequently admitted to Tapah Hospital at 11am.
The trainee was initially placed in a normal ward. At 3pm, he was referred to the hospital's intensive care unit before being transferred to Teluk Intan Hospital at 7pm.
He died less than three hours later.
Perak CPO Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said the case had been classified as sudden death.

There was free baseball in Fourmile on Monday as Pineville-Bell County and Williamsburg needed an extra inning to decide their elimination game in the Area 3 Tournament.
Tyler Lewis doubled and scored the winning run on en error in the bottom of the seventh as Williamsburg pulled out an exciting 2-1 win over Pine-Bell.
The result spoiled a wonderful performance from Pineville-Bell pitcher Reese Capps. Capps pitched the first six innings and held Williamsburg to one run on two hits while striking out ten and walking four.
Capps also singled to lead off the top of the fourth inning. He advanced to second and third on a pair of passed balls and then scored as Alex Mays reached on an error to tie the game at one. But that was the only run Pineville-Bell was able to push across.
Williamsburg took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third when Evan Poore walked with two out and then came around to score on a triple by Tate Fields.
Mays also singled in the game for P-B while Hayden Callebs singled and walked. Cody Goodin walked twice and Jacob Smith reached on an error and a fielder's choice grounder.
The Pineville-Bell All-Stars threatened in the top of the seventh inning as Callebs singled and Goodin walked. One out later, Smith hit a grounder to short and courtesy runner Dalton Stepp nearly scored on the play but was thrown at home on a 6-5-2 fielder's choice. A strikeout ended the inning.
While the loss ends the tournament for Pineville-Bell County, Williamsburg stays alive and was scheduled to play Middlesboro on Tuesday with the winner moving on to the District 4 Tournament in Corbin next week.

Gasol help Lakers hold on to beat Pistons 98-97
Detroit turned the ball over nine times in the half, and the Pistons finished the second quarter with a terrible defensive breakdown. Bryant was inbounding around midcourt with 0.4 seconds left in the half, and Clark somehow slipped free for an alley-oop dunk at the buzzer that gave Los Angeles a 62-51 lead.
The Lakers did a better job defending that situation on the final play of the game.
NOTES: Knight became tangled with Metta World Peace of the Lakers with 1:43 left in the first half. That got a rise out of the crowd, which no doubt remembered World Peace's role in the infamous "Malice at the Palace" brawl on the Pistons' court in 2004. World Peace was assessed a flagrant foul this time, but the situation didn't escalate. ... Bryant had five assists, snapping his streak of five straight games with at least eight.

Town meeting faces hopes, fears.
The idea behind the informal hour was to give NCEW members a free-wheeling opportunity to vent, react, and question, uncoupled from Robert's Rules of Order and the formality of the annual business meeting, which came later in the day anyway. To the extent that there was a format, I posed questions and heard answers. I asked for shows of hands and got instant feedback. Members offered their own suggestions to NCEW officers and board members, and it was a fluid, organic discussion. We didn't solve the problems of the organization, but we did the next best thing: shared our continuing hopes for NCEW and spoke candidly about what we were willing to do or bear to sustain it.
While the 70 or so members in convention were an unscientific sample of NCEW membership, what they said had an impact on leadership and will inform many of the decisions we make for at least the next year.
A good many of them, for instance, are now paying their dues and convention costs, something that once was covered routinely by news organizations. Four days earlier, the NCEW board voted to reduce dues rates across the board by 10%--not a huge cut, because dues remain our single-largest source of revenue, but a pricing change in the right direction nonetheless.
The talk turned to where to seek financial support for NCEW, and I noted that our convention sponsors have almost exclusively been news organizations and universities with journalism programs. Other news associations, however, are not shy about taking sponsorship dollars from other corporate entities--in much the same way that our newspapers and TV stations accept paid advertising.
The feeling around the room was to be open to support for conventions from friendly corporations that do not leave members (like the local convention chair, for instance) in a compromising position. But members were adamant that such contributions not have any influence in determining the program.
Members also said they were open to seeing paid advertising on the NCEW Website. They were most receptive to hypothetical ads from journalism-related buyers: op-ed syndicates, other associations, foundations, publishers, universities, public policy advocates. As a result, NCEW will make a run at offering Web advertising in the next year.
Similarly, there is no reason that our Website cannot offer a new benefit: timely op-eds posted on the site that could be published by members for free. Because responsible groups would pay NCEW a fee for posting the material, the op-eds would also be a new source of revenue. Look for NCEW to give this a try in the next few months.
Other thoughts that circulated the room:
* Members would not be opposed to a future convention held on a college campus. They also would not be put off by staying in a dorm, as opposed to a hotel (or so they said).
* It's time to shorten the convention by one day. Because of few people signing up for the all-day critiques, Thursday has become a day when not much programmed activity occurs. Look for the Dallas convention next September (which must meet the terms of a hotel contract signed last year) to change that a bit, and expect the Indianapolis convention in 2011 (which has no contract yet) to be reinvented.
* NCEW members also thought it was a good idea, for the sake of leadership recruitment, to shorten the officer track. Each year we elect a secretary who, year by year, moves into a new office: treasurer, vice president, president and then immediate past president--each of whom has voting power. Perhaps it's time to combine the offices of secretary and treasurer (as do other organizations) and maybe even eliminate the immediate past president as a voting board member. That way, members (and their employers) might find a three-year officer hitch less daunting than one that runs five years. Now that NCEW members have approved making bylaw changes by a secure electronic vote, they could restructure the officer track before the next election.
Finally, one topic that floated like the proverbial lead balloon was whether it is time for NCEW to change its name. That was a subject of much interest one to two years ago--not for change's sake, but as a way to broaden membership and appeal to other opinion journalists. In Salt Lake City, though, it was clear there were bigger issues on members' minds: affording the cost of membership, keeping conventions profitable, encouraging members to volunteer for NCEW leadership.
What's to be gained by changing our name? That's a question to be left for another day.

Kualan showed interest in a Game of Thrones Skyrim mod however with the nexus being DDoS it might be difficult to contact him that way, but he has a moddb account so I'll try PMing him so hopefully he just logs in regularly

I have all the files and i'll try uploading them soon so people can help test and hopefully be able to help with the map issues.

Yeah when I contacted him a month ago he said the same thing lol but then he posted on here in June I think saying that he was interested ,I guess he changed his mind again .

If you would like my reasons, they are the following;
- My mod is a hobby that I pick up and work on when I feel like it, often having months where I don't touch it at all (the gap between v3 and v4, for example). Working as part of a team means committing to producing regular content, which I can't promise. So it would be unfair to join a team which relies on regularity.
|Jul 22 2013, 9:54pm Anchor
MERP was making amazing progress in the weeks before the C&D, so I am rather confident that Winter Is Coming will only gain more support the more we make. Part of the reason why I think that the first portion that we should release would be beyond the wall is because it is a fairly easy portion to make there isn't really a whole lot that needs to be made for that portion and once that bit is released we could use it to gain supporters; which would be VERY important for completing the next portion which would most likely be the north. by the time we would reach King's landing we would likely have about 40+ people helping with various parts of the mod and a very good following of fans. Also Game of Thrones is only getting more fans with the releases of the seasons. I didn't care about Game of Thrones during the first season and only showed modern interest just before the 3rd season. Finally I watched all three seasons a few weeks ago in about the span of 3-5 days Additionally this would work the other way too. People will become Game of Thrones fans once they have played Winter Is Coming. As it looks like right now though there is NO way that a team of about 3 people could make the entire mod, but more will join after the release of beyond the wall so 3 people won't need to make the entire mod

Hey guys. Huge gamer and game of thrones fan here. I'm super interested in what you all got going on. I feel I could add quite a bit of stuff to your table. For one I have read all the books and can keep everything super accurate. I used to code programs in high school so I'm sure I could get used to this modding thing with some effort. I work at home so I could contribute often. Most of all I am totally into taking the open world of skyrim and building the world of westeros with it. And all that jazz. So seriously let me know. I'd love to maybe be apart of this project.

Hello Guys.
I've just watched all of the GoT series and decided to try to make a mod. And here it is - I found a team already working on it - such a luck.
I am not an experienced modmaker, but i've made a simple map for Team Fortress and got familiar with CK. (just watched about 2 hours of tutorial video)

Well if it is still running and you need some extra workers, i am often in need of some preocupation and am quite decent with map design, although i am rather new to Creation Kit and have only used it to create custom dungeons and castles, and am looking into heightmapping currently and once i am more proficient will offer you my help, if so required.

Yes indeed we are. Do not worry about your experience as we will take what we can get. However, if you want to learn more, if you haven't already I suggest looking at some tutorials on youtube, especially Nightasy's, as they have helped me learn a great deal.

by James Slater - Ricky Hatton has made it perfectly clear that he will not be rushed into making a decision as to whether or not he will fight again. The 30-year-old "Hitman," in a exclusive interview yesterday with Mirror.co.uk, did say, though, that he has a "sneaking feeling" he will indeed box on. It has been almost four months since Hatton was brutally knocked out by pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, yet Hatton said yesterday that it could be as much as a further five months before he makes up his mind completely about what he will do.. Ricky was visited last week by the great Muhammad Ali, and some writers have suggested that the Manchester hero should think deeply about the terrible condition Ali is in today, and take this as a warning to all fighters who carry on too long.
Ricky, though, says there are way too may experts around the sport of boxing today.
"I've got a sneaking feeling I'll probably give it another go," Hatton said to Mirror Sport. "Everybody becomes an expert all of a sudden. But Muhammad Ali's illness is a bit of a one-off case. It's sad to see him at times, but nobody knows me better than I know myself. I've got a good team and family around me."
And though Hatton has not yet arrived at a decision, he has argued his case for carrying on, saying how two of his own heroes (Roberto Duran and the recently deceased Arturo Gatti) were able to come back well from devastating losses.
"Many great fighters, such as Arturo Gatti and Roberto Duran, have had crushing defeats and come back to win titles. I'll make my decision when I feel like it. When I've had a bit of a break and re-charged the batteries I might get itchy feet and give it a go. It could be two, three, four, five months before I decide."
Hatton hasn't gone as far as even dropping one name when it comes to just who he'd like to fight against if he does come back, but it's no secret that Juan Diaz - recent controversial points winner over a disgruntled Paulie Malignaggi - has called Hatton out. Amir Khan is another possibility, although Ricky has made it clear he and not Frank Warren would have to promote the fight.
Another opponent being bandied around as a comeback foe for Hatton is the loser, not the winner, of the upcoming Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez clash. As popular as he is, Hatton could in all likelihood be able to fight anyone he chose in his comeback - if he actually does embark upon one. I for one think he will be back, probably around spring of next year.

The perils of walking alone in the dark
... br>
Having arrived at Sendai, I marched up to the tourist information desk and told the nice lady at the desk I wanted to go to the ocean and asked her how best to get there. She looked at me quizzically and told me I would have to walk a few hours. I asked her what she would recommend and was told to go to Matsushima-Kaigan. So, my now already invaluable Japan Rail Pass, which cost me a staggering �60.000 (that's roughly € 430,- for those who don't have the current exchange ...
... the Japanese tour guide was talking about. We walked around one of the islands accessible by a small bridge and sat on the cliff enjoying the view. And we read the signs advising where to run (up!) when the next tsunami hits. The next day we were back in Sendai preparing for takeoff, which takes hours of visiting different places in the airport getting papers signed and stamped. And then the next day is actual departure.
Samurai Houses and a paradise bay
We left the Onsen in the morning and went back to Kakunodate to visit the Samurai houses. At the station you can always leave the baggage in coin lockers, so we could make the walk through the town in a more relaxed way.
Unfortunately it was pouring rain that we became wet - even with the umbrellas and were happy to get inside these samurai houses. They are very big, some of them even free of charge to visit
Later we travelled ...
Closing shows in Sendai
Had our las two shows of Sendai today, the audience was great in both of them, maintaining the energy towards the pre show that all of the previous shows had. Tonight, Lennea, Chris, Brittany and myself went for dinner and to buy some last minute supplies for our trip to Mount Fuji tomorrow ...
Opening night
... to go crazy before we got to this building because I was not able to lift weights and work out like I have gotten so used to at home. The first show went very well! All of the new people to the cast fit right in and the audience loved it! Kate, Mariko, Keji and I had a lot of fun with the brand new pre show that we put together a week ago, with the foam ball launchers, and foam frisbees, the crowd really loves interacting and being a part of the ...

A local high school class is using the power of visual art to call for kindness and equality.
An art class at Central Hardin High School created a poster campaign called "Stop the Hate," which is focused on racial equality and anti-bullying messages. The posters have been displayed throughout the school and were inspired by Black History Month, which is February.
The class, Printmaking and Graphics, typically covers skills that could be used in a professional setting, teacher Antonio Menendez said.
Menendez wanted to show his students the skills could be used for other purposes, "so they can see graphics is not just for commercial use," he said. It's a skill set that can be used in creating art as political messages, he said.
Some of the posters include calls for peace and others highlight activists, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, and political figures such as Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama.
"So far I've heard really good feedback from the kids in the hallway," Menendez said.
Senior Lydia Miller created a poster showing a wreath of hands with a "Stop the Hate" message inside. She thought it was a positive project because she sees bullying as a problem, especially toward minorities. But she said the posters are attracting students' attention.
"People were talking about it at lunch and they liked the campaign," she said.

Online Calendars Make a Comeback
SEATTLE — After becoming popular during the Internet's heyday in the late nineties, the online calendars that people used to track appointments and events got dated.
Many people decided it was easier to keep track of things on desktop computer programs, or by just marking the old calendar on the wall.
But now, with more people connecting to the Web via high-speed broadband, wireless technology and mobile phones, online calendars are getting an update.
"While it has a certain '1999 feel', the market itself has changed and users have changed in that time period," said Michael Gartenberg, analyst at Jupitermedia.
The Internet could well be the perfect platform for turning calendars into virtual "life organizers." But compared to the big leaps seen in search services and music on the Web, online calendars have, for the most part, been plodding along as an add-on to Web-based email services.
Now, though, online calendars could be set to start making the same kind of leap that the other applications made, and consumers could benefit from a growing array of new offerings.
Among those coming out with new services, Trumba Corp., a Seattle-based start-up, is betting that users will be willing to pay for enhanced online calendar services that offer rich features allowing users to create, share and publish their online schedules.
"There is a huge market out there," said Jeremy Jaech, chief executive of Trumba, who founded the company with Ted Johnson. Both Jaech and Johnson were founders of Visio, the flowchart and business diagram software company that was acquired by Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft Corp. in 2000 for $1.5 billion.
"Almost everybody uses a calendar of some sort," said Jaech. When consumers use enhanced calendar applications on the Web they will find that "the experience is so much better" than what they already use, they'll start using it. "We think online calendaring is compelling enough to cause a similar shift to the web."
Trumba isn't the only company eyeing online calendars as a potentially important market. Industry observers say it is only a matter of time until Web search leader Google Inc. of Mountain View, California adds online calendar services to its online search, e-mail, calendar, blogging and shopping services.
The other two big players in online calendar services, Microsoft's MSN and Yahoo Inc. of Sunnyvale, California, have also continued to offer Web-based scheduling as an integrated part of their online e-mail services.
Early Appointment?
Trumba, which this month began offering subscriptions for its OneCalendar service for $40 per year, created an online calendar that makes it easier for users to add outside appointments and share them widely.
Parents of schoolchildren, for example, can import key school events into their own calendars and send automated e-mail notices to a selected group of people.
Such group-related capabilities were mainly limited to businesses, which were willing to invest in software to give their employees sophisticated scheduling tools, but Trumba's Jaech said that such technologies should also be available to consumers.
Microsoft's Outlook e-mail, scheduling and contacts program, offers many advanced features when used in conjunction with its Exchange server, which stores and manages key data online. Recently, Microsoft said it would offer new software for Exchange that will push e-mail, appointments and any changes to contacts info to cell phones.
Yahoo said it is focusing on making its Yahoo Calendar service work seamlessly for people connecting via mobile phones and also with better integration with its Yahoo Messenger online text message-swapping service.
"We're constantly looking at ways to improve the service," said Yahoo spokeswoman Karen Mahon, adding that Yahoo Calendar is also a key part of its Yahoo Groups service, which allows users to share information as groups.
Jupitermedia's Gartenberg noted that online calendars could potentially become lucrative market, especially if small businesses decided to adopt services such as Trumba to manage their schedules.
"The question is whether it can resonate with enough users," Gartenberg said.

Audi "coup" by Thjnk
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 08:00AM
In January, Quorn will launch its first TV ad for two years, focusing on the roll-out
of ready meals such as Bangers and Mash and Tikka Masala.
Ads, by MCBD, will be aimed at Quorn's traditional audi-ence of vegetarians and 'weight managers', after years of attempting to broaden the brand's appeal to meat-eaters.
Premier Foods' meat-free division managing director, Kevin Brennan, said that the New Year is a 'key period' for targeting these consumers. Two-thirds of all Quorn purchases are made by vegetarians.
Premier Foods, which also owns Branston Pickle and Hovis, has been subject to
speculation that its debts will force it to sell off chunks of the business.
Reports suggest it could raise up to £250m from the sale of its meat-free division.
A Premier Foods spokesman has confirmed that it has 'received approaches' for its meat-free division.

CDR New Mexico
CDR South from just West of Silver City is a bitch on a big bike, especially if you have little sand experience. It is a beautiful ride, about 33 miles down to the I 10. I think the road is called the Sapar road. There is a truck stop at the I 10, cold beverages but no fuel. Closest fuel is East to Deming or West to ??? whatever the first town West is. I rode that road solo because I am a dumb ass. Fell about six times. Had to unload the bike six times to pick it up. Used all of my water (I thought I had plenty) the only person I came across was a retired Forest Ranger on a Honda 500 with a 9 strapped to his waist. I asked him if he needed it. He said "You just never know." I would ride it again because it was a real challenge and beautiful country if you like desert. Don't know that I would do it solo again. I was lucky.

how can i get a nice, relaxed canter out of my horse?
my horse has been trained before, but when i start leasing him in june, im going to be doing a LOT of flat work with him. But he has a problem going slow in general. the problem starts when asking for the canter. I ask and he just takes off. About two laps around the ring he getts to the pace i want. I have been using a half-halt to slow him down but then he breaks gait, so then i apply leg pressure. I feel like im giving him mixed, confusing signals.
Whats the best way to get him into the canter?
When his in the canter, am i asking him correctly? if not, how should i slow him down without breaking gait?
Two things to look at when you ride or ask for the canter.
Fist a bad trot produces a bad canter. If the horse is unbalanced in the trot, rushing it or not packaged right then no matter how correct your "request".
Second even if you got a nice canter the half halts are useless if given at the wrong time. The half halt is applied on the upbeat of the canter, not the downbeat.
You might want to try the trot-canter-trot game. This accomplishes a few things. It establishes who's calling the shots, rebalances the horse over and over again in both gaits, and improves your use of cues and work out some of the confusion you're experiencing. Pick up a nice energetic trot. Half halt to signal that a transition is coming, ask for canter. Canter just long enough to establish that it's what you wanted, and half halt and apply a downward transition back to trot. Don't let him fall onto his forehand. Best way to apply a downward half halt is to still your seat and close your hand on the inside rein during the moment of suspension. You want to come down into the same energetic trot you had before. Trot until you're both in sync about the fact that you're trotting again. (some horses will try to anticipate and jump back into canter) As soon as you have a good trot going again, half halt, sit tall and ask for canter again. With each transition, the quality of both gaits should improve. Don't let him anticipate and decide for himself when it's time to transition again, and never transition in the same place twice. Good luck.
Thanks Puck!! That makes plenty of sense!!! this will also teach him to not just die out on me, so to speak.
Puck, I always find your advice incredibly useful and easy to understand! You're like, the ants-pants of flatwork! Kudos!

Theme: "Roads and Water - Making It Work!"
If you have a Nonindustrial Management Plan (NTMP) or plan to harvest with a Timber Harvest Plan (THP) anytime in the near future, this program will provide insight on how your roads will have to be managed to further reduce sediment delivery to streams and meet the intent of the new Board of Forestry Road Rules that went into effect January 2015. These new rules are going to result initially in higher logging costs with the intent of saving money and effort in the long run with a reduction in future road maintenance costs. Landowners that are actively managing their property can potentially save costs on post harvest monitoring once they understand how and when some of the work and documentation can be done themselves.
To make your hotel reservations, call the Holiday Inn Auburn at (530) 887-8787. Be sure to mention Forest Landowners of California to receive the group rate of $109 per night.

Story captured by Denise Levine
On August 29, 2001, The San Francisco Chronicle reported: "Fire forces evacuation of Trinity County town. Hundreds flee "totally chaotic scene in historic Weaverville." The report went on to say the blaze, called the Oregon Fire, had quickly consumed 1,600 acres, forcing the closure of Highway 299. Smoke could be seen 24 miles away in Hayfork.
"It's crazy out there," said a CDF spokesman. "There are two heads on the fire, so it's moving in two different directions. It's ugly."
But Carolyn and David Beans knew that. They lived on Oregon Mountain, just outside of Weaverville on the way to Eureka, California where the Oregon Fire was heading toward the 80 acres of Doug fir, sugar pine and incense cedar they owned.
David and Carolyn bought their first piece of land on Oregon Mountain in 1978. There was no electricity to the property, but there was a barn, a water tank and a propane generator in a shed.

Inbreeding Threatens Washington Killer Whale Population
A new National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study has raised concerns that killer whales in the Puget Sound could be facing a loss of genetic diversity due to inbreeding.
The NOAA study, which was published online this month in the Journal of Heredity, followed the Washington-based whale species and studied their mating habits. They discovered that some of the offspring had been produced as a result of matings within the same pod or social subgroup, the researchers said in a July 21 press release.
"One implication of this inbreeding behavior is a significant reduction in the genetic diversity of what is already a perilously small population of animals, formally known as Southern Resident killer whales," the NOAA statement added. "That population numbers only about 85 animals and was listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act in 2005."
"We were surprised that, in many cases, the father was from the same pod as the mother. Based on earlier studies, we didn't think killer whales mated within their own pod," lead author Dr. Michael Ford, a scientist with the NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, said in a statement, adding that the behavior "may be unique to the Southern Resident population, perhaps related to the population's small size."
In the study, the NOAA scientists reviewed 26 different genetic markers in 78 whales, determining the parentage of 15 different calves. The study found evidence that suggests that, while the whales did not mate with close relatives, they would reproduce with members of their own pod–distant relatives, as it were.
They also discovered a relatively low variance of reproductive success in the whale communities, leading them to conclude that several males–not just a handful–participated in the breeding process. That said, they found that older, larger males did appear to be responsible for a greater percentage of successful matings, suggesting that females might prefer to mate with these particular characteristics.
"That trend surprises and worries researchers who say it could significantly reduce the population's genetic diversity, making whales more susceptible to disease and genetic disorders or mutations," Seattle Times Environment Reporter Craig Welch wrote Thursday. "Such 'genetic bottlenecks' can also reduce the ability to withstand environmental upheaval, such as toxic pollution or climate change."
"It shows that the population is fairly inbred," University of Washington professor Sam Wasser, one of the study's authors, told Welch. "And that may have a lot of repercussions for recovery. Inbreeding tends to exacerbate all their other problems."
Ford told UPI that, since this whale population remains isolated from other killer whale breeds, inbreeding such as this could put them at risk for potentially harmful mutations.
