California power infrastructure OK despite demand
By Bernie Woodall
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – California's power plants,
transmission lines and distribution systems are expected to
operate well without causing blackouts during Friday's and
Monday's record electricity demand, the power grid operator and
the state's two largest utilities said on Friday.
A record pull on the power grid is expected Friday
afternoon at about 46,225 megawatts, more than the previous
peak of 45,431 megawatts set July 20, 2005. Thursday's demand
peaked at 44,655 megawatts and Monday's peak is forecast to be
46,500 megawatts.
The Cal ISO runs the state's power grid and its members
deliver power to about 80 percent of Californians.
Wildfires in California are not near transmission lines,
said Stephanie McCorkle, Cal ISO spokeswoman.
Major investor-owned utilities in the Cal ISO system are
Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San
Diego Gas & Electric.
PG&E and So Cal Ed each said they anticipate no problems
with generation or transmission lines or delivery of power to
customers through Monday.
McCorkle said the grid operator is confident of avoiding
blackouts unlike during the 2000-2001 energy crisis when
rolling blackouts plagued California.
More generating plants and transmission lines have been
constructed since the crisis and distribution systems have been
upgraded, she said.
There has not been a call thus far for business customers
in a voluntary "interruptible" program to curtail use, said
"We've told the investor-owned utilities and they have put
the interruptibles on notice that we could call on them," said
The demand conservation program is voluntary. Businesses
that sign up for lower power rates agree to lower power use
when called upon during peak periods. About 1,840 megawatts can
be saved this way, which is 250 megawatts more than last
The Cal ISO and not the power companies would call for such
an action.
Some municipal systems are not members of the Cal ISO, such
as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the
Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Both of those systems
also said they anticipate no difficulties despite the high
So Cal Ed has about 4.7 million customers accounting for
about 13 million people. It serves much of Southern California
to the Sierras. It is a subsidiary of Edison International of
Rosemead which is in suburban Los Angeles.
Record demand on the So Cal Ed system was set on July 21,
2005, at 21,935 megawatts.
PG&E has about 5.2 million customers. It serves much of
Northern and Central California. It is a subsidiary of PG&E
Corp.. Record demand on the PG&E system is about 21,300
SDG&E serves San Diego and much of Southern California near
the Mexican border. A spokeswoman said SDG&E will set a new
demand record Friday at about 4,200 MW, which would eclipse a
record set on September 10, 2004, of 4,065 MW. The company
serves about 1.3 million customers and is a subsidiary of
Sempra Energy.
The LADWP's record demand was set July 22, 2005, at 5,661
megawatts. Henry Martinez, chief operating officer for power,
said no power interruptions are expected through Monday as
reserve margins are adequate. Thursday's peak demand for the
LADWP was 5,413 megawatts.
Chris Capra, spokesman for SMUD, said that municipal
utility is also not expecting any problems. SMUD's peak demand
on Thursday was 2,545 megawatts, against a record set July 15,
2005, of 2,959 megawatts. SMUD has about 513,000 residential

Ok, I am going to ask the big one. Why not?
Are you suggesting that the ITF are somehow wrong or incapable of working out the relative ratings around the world? This is not about whether or not some ALTA League only "4.0" is a USTA 4.0 or not (obviously they aren't) but whether an international player with a verified ITN computer rating (4 in my case, although it used to be 3, ahh, old age..) can be directly and accurately compared to a computer rated USTA player. Which they can.
The ITF would probably like the whole world (as opposed to almost all of it) to switch to ITN ratings, but in the case of the USA that is about as likely as y'all going metric..
But that doesn't mean 2.5 cm isn't still an inch, and you are still a Dutch level 6!!!!

The Opposition is unlikely to field a candidate against him
Bangalore: Deputy Speaker K.G. Bopaiah is set to be unanimously elected Speaker on Wednesday with the Opposition unlikely to field a candidate, as it does not command the requisite strength in the 225-member Assembly.
Sources in the Congress told The Hindu that no decision had so far been taken to field a candidate given the numerical strength (74 members) of the party in the House. Janata Dal (S) president H.D. Deve Gowda said it was for the Congress to take the lead in fielding a candidate and "we will extend support."
The two parties put together have 101 members compared to 124 (including independents) of the ruling party. Similar to the unanimous election of Jagadish Shettar as Speaker in the first session of the 13th Legislative Assembly (in June 2008), there is no real competition for Mr. Bopaiah. As mandated under the rules of procedure and conduct of business of the Legislative Assembly, the nomination papers will be filed by two members (one to propose and another to second the motion to be moved for the Speaker's election) before noon on Tuesday, and the election will be gone through around the same time on Wednesday.
Sources in BJP said that a meeting of the legislature party had been called on Tuesday wherein it would be conveyed to party members of the Lower House on the choice of candidate for the post of Speaker and a requisition would be made to all of them to abide by the party whip. With Mr. Shettar resigning as Speaker about a month ago to become Minister in the Yeddyurappa Cabinet, it was widely believed that there would be more than one contender in the ruling party for the post of the Speaker. While names of K.G. Bopaiah, C.M. Udasi, Minister for Public Works; S. Suresh Kumar, Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs; and Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri, Minister for Primary Education were doing the rounds, the party leadership chose Mr. Bopaiah for elevation, more so, as none of the Ministers were keen to take up the post.

The album I'd missed digitizes a vinyl limited edition Langford and Sally Timms put together in 2000 for Bloodshot, also home of the Waco Brothers, the only alt-country band to feature a former member of Jesus Jones, and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, who have backed Langford and a cast of hundreds on everything from Bob Wills remakes to attacks on capital punishment. Featuring more solo turns than duets, Songs of False Hope and High Values is the spottiest of Langford's recent projects, including number six, The Executioner's Last Songs: Volume 2 & 3, due June 17. But it exhumes both "Joshua Gone Barbados," an Eric Von Schmidt-cum-Joseph Spence genre piece about a strike gone wrong that caught Langford's ear on an old Johnny Cash album, and Timms's metaphysical 1988 cover of Dolly Parton's "Down From Dover." "Joshua Gone Barbados" was a special treat for 60 or so Galapagans, some of whom had also attended the headliner's reading-with-guitar there the previous night and/or his Big Cat Gallery opening on Orchard Street from six to nine. Langford has a busy schedule, devoted fans, and many friends.
Including me, I guessI'd fed him lunch in my apartment earlier that day, the third meal we'd shared since September. "I like everyone," he'd remarked at dinner after the EMP Pop Conference in Seattle in April, and although I distinctly recall the exception to that rule ("We really like all these people" he protested too much to a packed house before reading from his scabrous history-of-rock comic Great Pop Things at KGB a few years ago, "except Sting, of course"), there's a lot of truth to it. I rarely socialize with artists, but Langford is a good friend or warm acquaintance of four or five otherwise unconnected friends of mine. He's appeared in a student documentary about me, hired me for liner notes, and blurbed one of my books. So don't believe me when I say I've rarely if ever witnessed an artist on this kind of roll. I dare you.
What's your secret, I asked in Seattle, where he'd delivered a career-memoir variation on a lecture he bent to a Chicago theme for John Hodgman's "Little Gray Book" series at Galapagos, then booked a club gig for good measure. "Two kids," he riposted, and he wasn't just being funny. Langford emigrated to Chicago for love in 1991, following his girlfriend Helen Tsatsos, who'd returned to her hometown from France for graduate school. They married, bought a house in an unhip North Side neighborhood, and had two boys, now five and one; after the second, Helen quit her job as an architect. Thus the postpunk lefty turned breadwinner which rather than forcing him into awkward compromises or tired hackwork sparked a tremendous effulgence. Langford has been a drinkerhe's cut down, he says, because kids and hangovers don't mixbut never a slacker. Between his dad, a schoolteacher, and his mom, a coal miner's daughter, he has a worker's instincts. But his current productivity could shame an efficiency expert.
From last summer's Mekons comeback OOOH! and 25th-anniversary tour, from his single foray with his Toronto fans the Sadies and the many with his Chicago pals the Wacos, you'd think Langford was a road dog. But Langford doesn't tour more than a week a monthhe'd miss his kids too much. Instead, unlike so many art-school rockers, he exploits his graphic gift. The ace lyricist and sometime lecturer didn't script Great Pop Things, he drew it, and most days he works not in a studio but in the disused room at a Chicago T-shirt factory where he fabricates the paintings that pay his mortgage: drawings of cowboy or country-western photographs that are affixed to plywood, colored in acrylic, pastel, and Sharpie, bedizened with shellac, and distressed with scratches, Wite-Out, skulls, dollar signs, and other subversive messages. They're not big, and mostly go for under a grand, cheap in a unique-object economy otherwise beyond his means. "I can make one," he says, "but I couldn't buy one."

BOISE -- Gov. Butch Otter is asking Idahoans to get territorial.
In less than a year, Idaho will celebrate its 150th anniversary as a territory. Today, the governor signed a proclamation that puts the Idaho State Historical Society in charge of the sesquicentennial celebrations.
The historical society wants people to understand how much of our everyday lives are shaped by Idaho's years as a territory. For example, Boise became the capital when Idaho was still a territory, the state's boundaries were formed, our basic highway system was even developed.
The historical society wants every corner of this state to look back when Idaho was named a territory and see how it shaped their communities. That is the society's main goal. But they want people to go a step further and figure out ways to celebrate the territorial years.
Former Lt. Gov. David Leroy and his wife Nancy have already done that. The couple is donating their collection of Abraham Lincoln artifacts to the state. President Lincoln was the one who declared Idaho a territory on March 4, 1863.
It's our hope that this gallery, this exhibit, these items will inspire people to study history to learn history and to make good history in the future for Idaho, said Leroy.
The Leroy's collection is the largest collection of Lincoln artifacts in the western United States. Some of the items include a lock of Lincoln's hair that was taken during his autopsy, a floorboard from his home and countless pictures and documents.
All the artifacts will become part of a permanent exhibit at the state archives. It will open in the fall of 2013.
The historical society and the Leroy's hope their donation will inspire others to celebrate the 150th anniversary.

Only thing I can think of that we really need is county nurses do come out and check, but sidewalk shoveling in the winter, and the mowing in the summer.
I'm Leona Sorenson and we live 2 blocks from here. Not a real large house, basement and upstairs is all furnished. I think our biggest problem is we don't have a place to put a shower on the main floor, and I don't get in and out of the bathtub anymore at all. It's getting to the place where we need someone to vacuum. And we hire our sidewalk scooped. (Windows WAV 349 KB) (Mac AU 174 KB) I think that's about it. We both are a little unable.
I'm Al, and what she said goes for me. We live in the same house and like I said, window washers.
That's an impossibility.
Can you tell us why it is an impossibility? Why it is tough?
The insides, to clean the storms and the main windows. You can't reach that. Neither one able to climb the ladder to get up to wash it.
And reaching like this is hard.
I have arthritis and it's just about impossible. He don't breathe good, so it is not good for him either. I think we are getting to the place where we are going to have some assistance.
I'm Keith Dowder, I'm married, we have two houses, I maintain mine, she maintains hers. I just live about a block north of here. I am able to shovel my walks, I do my own laundry at the laundry mat. I help my boy farm when he needs me. I go dancing once in a while. Far as I know, I will be 75 years old October 14. I have had very little hospitalization, doctor bills. Just the other day I put my finger in a little place and had 9 stitches in it, but I survived.
I'm Martha Prescott and I live here on 6th Street. I always said when I go to school I'd like to live in that house, there I am. ...I have a work day the 20th of March. My house is all on one level, washer, dryer upstairs, someday I'll have to have help cleaning the house. I have high blood pressure.
I'm Don Whitney. I live about 8 miles east of here. Mt East. I'm not as old as Bertha, but I'm older than Keith. I like it out in the country, I've lived there since 1951. (Windows WAV 805 KB) (Mac AU (403 KB) When I come to town, I met my own neighbors on their farms. ...I do a little farming yet. My second wife, I lost my first wife 10 years ago. She was ... for 3 1/2 years. In which time I did most of the work except I hired a lady to come in once a week and clean. We built the house in the early 70s and part of the bathroom I've never used, I've got a shower in the basement. I've never used the tub. When my first wife died, it was easier for her, I helped her down the basement steps. She preferred the shower. But I don't have any health problems. I'm going to stay out on the farm.
Is there a big yard to maintain?
Oh yeah, a big yard.
My husband's response to that is to buy a big John Deere mower and he swears I'm going to learn to drive it.
I've got a rider and a couple of push mowers. I need the exercise really. But they think its bad that I don't use the rider.
You do all yours with a push mower?
Self propelled. But I'm walking. You do get some exercise. But someday in the next 1-2 years I may fix up the rider. When I'm 100.
I'm Gerald Cline, I live 6 miles south of GC, I've been retired going on 10 years, I was 73 last month and I have a pretty modern home, have a friend that takes care of the house and I do the yard work. I dont really need that much help. Getting by on my health. Knee and back operations, bladder operations and quite a few things in the last 10 years, but I'm getting along all right.
I'm ...Purdy, and Skip says he is 73, I'm 79 and just a kid. I'm one of them guys who meets him going up and down the road.
He's my brother in law.
In 1980 we built a new house in GC and the wife was always coming to town so I got her in town and I go to the farm. So in the later years I've gotten rid of all my livestock so I do a little farming like that. I cut wood when the weather is good, things like that. Health, I've had an operation or two in 7 years, hernia and hemorrhoids, but basically I've gotten along good. When I wake up on the morning I feel like getting up and doing something, then it's going to be a good day.
Several of you mentioned how old you are, can you quickly share how old you are?
82 1/2.
I'm Chris Cook. (Introductory remarks). The students have been thinking of questions t hey would like to ask you. They are most interested in housing, what it takes to stay in your home. Some of you have said some of those things. They will tell you their name and ask one question that you might answer about your housing.
I'm Mary Yearns. I've worked with Carol Smith over the years with housing problems. Just this past week we took our 3 room exhibit, the Home for All Ages, to Chicago in a 30 foot truck and set it up for 2000 people from all over the country to see many of the design ideas and assistive devices that we have in this home. The audience was mainly professional people that work in senior centers or social service agencies. Giving them rides on the electronic toilet seat lifter, demonstrating environmental control units where you can control lights or appliances from one location. A soft bathtub, lots of innovative products in the home.
I'm Joanne. What really interests me about your situation is that you seem to be so happy with your home the way it is. I'm wondering how long you have been there, and did you think about planning it ahead of time so you would have everything on one level?
I've lived there about 5 years, and had lived on 12th St. The house was old and the bathtub had legs on the floor. I had a garden space. I haven't been getting out much now, my legs bother me, so I moved to this big house, it had an open stairway down into the living room and tub had the legs on the floor. I remodeled and have the shower and tub all together. Then I have the washer and dryer on level. That's one reason I like the house. I like the location because it's not too far from downtown. I can walk if I have to. (Windows WAV 710 KB) (Mac AU 355 KB)
Is that a one story home?
No, a two story house.
But you kind of live on the lower floor?
Yes. I have a grandson that lives with me too. He doesn't eat with me much, but he sleeps there. I have a daughter who teaches art in Guthrie and she stays some nights. Night before, they were both there.
Do you have a bedroom on the first floor?
Yes, right in the center of the house. It doesn't have a window, but it is nice. I recently had the whole house rewired because it wasn't good. I do have ... other flowers that I enjoy, that's why I liked the house.
Did you have help with the remodel?
Yes. They wired from the basement to the upstairs, back and front porch.
Did you come up with what you wanted remodeled or did you have someone help you lay it out?
I have a son that lives in Des Moines and he knew what I needed. I talked to him first and had him help me. I have 5 children all together. One lives in Guthrie, Des Moines, Oklahoma City, Ames, Nevada.
Did you son help with the maintenance on the home?
Yes. I have a snow blower so he takes care of that in the winter. Also, he helps in the garden with the tiller. He helps quite a little bit. Sometimes if I need something like changing the light bulb, I talk him into that. And my grandson. He had a disagreement in the home where he lived and so I told him if he wanted to live with me he could. So he did. As far as my health goes, I do have a problem with that now, but if nothing else, I have arthritis. But I've never been in the hospital for an operation, no broken bones.
When you get groceries, does someone help you with that?
I have a friend that helps me get them. I did years ago when my boys were small, but I don't now because the highways scare me. Especially the gravel road, coming up a hill, I'm afraid I might meet someone on the other side.
So your transportation is through family and friends?
I'm Devina. Have you ever considered moving from your community or house, why or why not?
No. ...make it wheelchair accessible, that was a few years ago, but I miss seeing that shower stuff they have here.
What kinds of things did you do?
We put new rug in the front room, no pad, glued it down. Redid the complete bathroom. But still have the tub and I don't like to get in and out of it. They are slick on the bottom.
Did you have to modify the doorways at all?
Yes. Made a straight-in entrance through the front entryway.
How about in the kitchen?
No, that was pretty well done.
Would you be interested in modifying your bathroom again to get a shower?
No, I don't think so. Cost too much the first time.
How long have you lived here, any of you?
I've been at my place for 47 years.
We've lived in our house since 1976. The big problem is the washer and dryer and shower are in the basement. We do have rails on both sides of the steps and that helps a lot. I wouldn't consider moving. When I move, I'll probably be moved into a nursing home. As long as we can get in and out. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
Are you thinking about remodeling to get the shower, washer/dryer upstairs?
We have tried to figure out a way, but it's impossible. The bathtub we don't use, we still go up and down the steps. Which we are able to do now, but for how long? I don't know.
Do you carry things up and down?
The clothes, we can throw them down. But he thinks he can do it. He thinks I shouldn't go up and down the steps. But I sure wouldn't move out of that house.
I've lived here in town 7-8 years. I don't have a fancy place but it's good enough for an old farmer. I dont have a shower, but someday maybe I'll have one. I have a small 5 room house. And a nice, two car garage. I have a new car and new pick up and I put them in every night. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
...where would it be?
Guthrie County, there are only two full sized grocery stores. GC and Panora. Stuart has one but it's in Adair County. Some of these smaller towns, you can buy basic things, but I think that limits places where a person could move. If you were to move to town.
How long have you lived here?
We moved...retired from the farm that I was born on, and we moved to town in '67. Over 20 years. I did everything there was to do on the farm. Worked in the fields, made hay, everything. ...nice house. Rode a horse to high school, played 4 years on the basketball team here. I only missed one quarter in four years. Guy took my horse and said aren't you cold? I said no, he said look at your horse's nose. There was icicles.
How did you happen to get into the house? You said this is the house you wanted to live in when you were younger.
I was in town one day, we were going to build a new house. We had torn down the old house, had the lumber. I found out that this house was for sale and the bank had it so I went to the banker and he said you want to look at it and I said yeah. I went up, told my husband, he came in that night, and we bought the house. ... My parents were farmers, my father was killed on their farm. My mother lived to be 93.
Do you have a two story home?
I don't go in the basement, everything is upstairs.
It's one level?
I have 2 good sized bedrooms, small bathroom...bathtub. I crawl on my hands and knees and get myself over.
That's the way I get out! (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
If you could make some changes that would make it easier in your home, is there something?
Just the shower.
So you kitchen is easy to get around?
...washer/dryer is on the back porch. Catches all the dust and dirt so I don't bring it in. It's handy.
What I'm hearing is most of you would not consider moving?
I probably would get an apartment, not a house...get so I can't drive. Right now I can drive to the grocery store, I've got everything the people have in town so I have no reason to move. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
Do you have city water Skip?
No. I have spring water, soft water. I've got rural water that comes out of a well. I dug the wells about 5 years ago. ... It's a good water supply.
Skip, if you needed to move to a place where you could get more help is there anyplace in the area you would want to move?
I think a lot of people, when they get to where they can't handle their house, they move out to the Homestead if here is room. But there is a waiting list most of the time.
What is the Homestead?
Most would prefer to stay home as long as they can. When it comes to the place where you need care then I would go to the nursing home, it's a fine program.
But you also commented that there is intermediate housing.
Yes, in Jefferson and Perry, Winterset. It's a complex you go in and they have care to help you do most anything. Regular dining room.
They do the cooking and washing.
But you are not too inclined to go there?
Youve got to remember, we grew up pretty daggone independent. We were always able to take care of ourselves. So it's hard to push us around. You are going to have that mind. As far as my house is concerned, it's a 2 story, basement with a 2 car garage, family room and shower. We have a wide stairs that goes up and made that especially wide so if there comes a time that we can't get up and down, we could put a chair lift and get up and down that way. We had that in mind when we built the house. Everything can't be perfect. Nothing's forever. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
You don't anticipate all the things that might happen. I think one thing to take into consideration is most houses have at least 2-3 steps to get up into the house. It's very easy to build a ramp over those steps. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
My name is Kim and I'm from Taiwan. My major is HDFS and minor is in Gerontology. Do you have any room in your house that you no longer use? What happened to the room now?
I've got 2 rooms that I could sell. I just use my bedroom and front room and dining is all together. When it is cold, I have a register on my front porch where I have the washer/dryer open so I don't freeze out there.
Whenever we got any room, the wife fills it up. No problem there.
We may have extra rooms, then the kids come home and you don't have any room.
Do like I do. Shove them into a trailer. They have heat and stuff out there.
We have a finished basement and I have bedroom, bathroom and a big room and storeroom and kitchen. The most we use unless we have company is just to go down and take a shower and do the washing. That's about it down there. There's a TV down there, davenport, chairs, carpet, it's nice. But we just don't use it much anymore. But when company or kids come and they can go down and play and the bedroom gets used, I've got a hide-a-bed that I pull out. But we don't get that much family anymore because have kids that live around here anymore. That's more or less a place to take a shower and do the washing. There is storage down there. We have under the steps, we can store canned stuff. Lots of shelves, couple closets, and they are all full.
I have what I call two living rooms in my house and I dont use either one very much except at Christmas or I have card parties. I just don't need it.
Someone mentioned that their son has a farm? Then you mentioned that the kids moved away. Do you have a lot of family that is around or did everyone's children move away?
My children are gone. I have three, in Colorado, and Atlanta. His boy is in Nashville.
I have no grandkids around. I've got 22 great grandchildren but they are not around here.
Very small percent of the children stay on the farm. I've got 6 and none of them farm.
Farming is altogether different than when we did it 50-60 years ago. Because you go out with 200, 180, even 100 and you could make a living on it. Now you wouldnt pay the gas bill. They have so many hidden things that have come into farming that it costs so much more money.
It's more taxes than what our parents had, it's hard to believe. Things like that have grown over the years. People didn't hardly have insurance. Now that is one of our big items, insure yourself.
Then they had cows, chickens, that took care of the table basically, then raised the cattle and pigs to carry on the operation. The main thing was in those days was that you kept busy. If you kept doing something, you were selling labor all the time. The people that didn't sell labor they didn't last long on the farm. You had to keep advancing with the progress.
I don't know how many young people would have any idea how we grew up. Down here in the sticks it's a different world.
We didnt even have a radio, electric alarm clock, lights.
No indoor plumbing, kybos.
When I started school, a country school in Monteeth. 30-40 kids in the 8 grades, we didn't have kindergarten. The first year I was in school there was a great big stove in the northwest corner of the schoolhouse. In the winter the teacher would let us little ones go back there by the stove and keep warm. We had no electric lights or water in the school house. That summer when I came back to school they had dug a home under the school house and put a furnace in, pipeless furnace in the middle. The old stove was gone, there was a light up in each corner, with a shade on it, reflector.
It got modernized.
Windows were all on the south side.
Not when I started, there were some on the north side. But there was a regulation that came out that there had to be windows only on one side.
How many of you kids are farm kids? [laughter]
It is interesting to drive through the older housing and notice how many of the houses were built to take advantage of the sun. I bet all of you can remember living in older houses where there were a lot more windows on the south and east. People used that.
We lived in an old house that didn't have any storm windows on it. In the winter those windows would be white with frost. We would stick our tongue out and make a little hole so we could see out.
Get up in the morning and everything would be iced. Water bucket would be full of ice. Your feet would be froze.
You always took your iron to bed with you. I did. All wrapped up. Put your feet on it to keep them warm during the night.
Another interesting thing in the old days on the first day of March, they were moving days. A small percentage of the farmers owned their own farm and they moved. First day of March. I can remember sitting at the school and seeing out on the road to the village, wagons and people, hayracks go by. There were any number of people in those days that moved. Few families that moved every year or two.
At that time those roads were mud. They weren't gravel or pavement. Even in the early 30s, my father's truck was in mud like that.
It wasn't until after WW2 that they really got the rural roads graveled.
First decent car came out in '27, by Henry Ford made. Most of them Model Ts before that, if you had a good team of horses you could go faster.
You could put it in reverse and back up the hill, it had more power in reverse than forward.
You people that didn't live on a farm don't know what you missed.
Thats right.
I have a nephew that's 60 years old and he can't even harness a horse. Or milk a cow.
Can you milk a cow?
Never tried.
We had cows, my grandpa did.
My younger kids couldn't milk, but the older ones could.
I had to milk before I went to school, then again when I got home. That's how I got through school, bring the lunch money.
I'll be truthful, I had a milker.
He had enough money to buy a milker, I didn't.
They are talking about housing, why don't you tell them about the townhouses they built up there, had to sell for a loss. They thought they were going to get the older folks into it. But they built stairs.
They said they didn't build them for older people, I don't know who they built them for.
They sure priced them for older people.
Where are they?
Here in town, you came by them when you came in.
Were they for sale or rent?
$69,000. They were very small.
They sold them for $59,000.
They had a basement with washer/dryer. You might say there were two rooms on the main floor. Kitchen and living room I think. Then upstairs, so there were two flights of steps. Then they were small. People would look at them and turn their backs. But now they put the price down. The next ones, they are going to put them all on the ground. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
They will be on the same place.
...all the school system used to be there, then when they took in the country then they consolidated.
40 years ago, about 1960. ...them two schools been consolidated for 70 years. Most had the rural school house.
That makes me think about the Farmers Home housing. That has been developed. Do you have some here?
Yes there is FHA,...
Some of those are privately owned and some owned by nonprofit organizations. But Guthrie has one unit up here that used to be nonprofit. It's low income.
It's privately owned...
But at one time Homestead had it. Administrated it. ...
Rented according to income.
But there is a privately owned one north of the courthouse that is a terrible arrangement. It's all older people that live there to. It's on the side hill and the parking lot is up here, then they have to get out of the car and walk down the sidewalk, down the steps.
And there is no exit in the back of the building.
Some of the people live on the second floor, then have to go up steps.
But the reason, that was owned by a corporation, the nursing home board, they took care of it. Then the home administration, they would find this and that wrong with it, so the nursing home gave it back to them then they sold it to a private individual.
I think that type of housing, Guthrie Center really needs more of.
All you people that won't move, who would live there?
... there is people in the community that could take advantage of it.
Widows, stuff like that.
Especially if they had a nurse or someone look in on them.
The percentage of elderly people in these little towns is pretty high. You go down to Menlow or Baggley or Casey, I don't know how they get along because they don't have the grocery store, some of them arent able to drive.
Do all of you drive? Do you walk around and get things? Do friends take you?
Everybody in here drives.
When you were talking about taxes, that was a service...
...meal sites...
Nobody goes over there anymore. They said no, they were out of money.
There weren't enough people interested.
Today, these women are on the tour busses checking tea houses out. We are on our own.
How do you think, about the community, is there more it can provide for you?
Maybe sidewalk shoveling?
I live in the country. He has a skidloader. The last snowstorm, somebody had a skidloader and cleaned this all off.
...if they can afford it, that's something else. The price of that is going up just like everything else.
What about other services, like Meals on Wheels?
Yes, we have that. To the elderly that can't get out and can't drive.
...we've been doing that, coming to town for dinner for 25 years. Yet the young people don't have time. I took time out from farming to deliver meals.
You retire, you can do a lot of volunteer work. Pays good.
They are 50-60 years old and can't do it, yet we do it, it don't make sense.
Some of these towns that have congregate meal sites, they do a lot of meals that way. They lost one of their deliverers a week ago.
...young people are too busy to do that. I know when we tried to do it here, we would have to get it from Panora, we were just a satellite. We would have to go over and get them and the equipment, take it back again. To get someone to do it here, it would be the seniors. Young people are too busy. But it seniors are old and cant carry things, it was too hard. We set up for it here, but it got to be impossible. When they said they were closing 16 meal sites, we didn't know if we would get closed, so you just don't know. You get up in the seniors, there are a lot unable to do anything. There are those that are able and healthy and then some that aren't.
A lot of your kids have moved away and a nursing home would be a last resort, would you be willing to move near your children and live with your children?
I spent my lifetime around here, my friends are here, if I went down there and they put me in a nursing home I wouldnt know anybody, at least here I know people. The kids would come see me, I raised good kids.
I talked to people that have moved out of the community that don't know anybody. When you get old, you can't make friends when you are 80-90 years old.
We've got people here, friends, put their families in Bayard, 20 miles away, they said they would see a lot more people because it's a 20 mile drive. It just makes sense to stick with your own community. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
I got a suggestion on that too. My wife for a long time has been in the Winterset nursing home, that's 60 miles away. You make that drive everyday...
...skilled nursing.
I think more people are trying to stay out of the nursing home, home health care has helped. (Windows WAV 605 KB) (Mac AU 605 KB)
Do you end up modifying your home so you could bring your wife home?
Do you get the home health care services too?
No, we didn't.
So you are able to get by fine?
She is gone now.
Hospice nursing home, they have counties...
That's not very popular here. I know my grandpa did that a couple years ago. It was perfect for him. He wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere but his home so it was great to have them come. They have a great Hospice program in Ames. It's volunteers.
It's not popular here.
What about the medical services in Guthrie County? Do you have to go to Des Moines?
...they come from Des Moines or Atlantic.
They don't have many people in the hospital.
They do a lot of outpatient.
If you have something seriously wrong, then the doctor will send you to Des Moines to the hospital.
...got along fine. His arm was going asleep. Since he done that, it hasn't bothered him at all. There is things they do. I just went in.
...hernia operation and never entered the hospital.
I was wondering about this building. I'm seeing the cards and stuff...
We dance and have meals, soup suppers.
...and justice for all. The Iowa Cooperative Extension Service's programs and policies are consistent with pertinent federal and state laws and regulations on nondiscrimination regarding race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, and disability.

Bela Padilla happy to be in drama series that helps empower women
Actress Bela Padilla said the best thing about landing the lead role in "Magdalena," the latest GMA 7 afternoon drama series, was that she could help empower women.
Bela is a member of Called to Rescue, an organization that helps women and children victims of human trafficking. "The group conducts rescue operations," she explained. "Sadly, it's not advisable for celebrities to participate in the operations. That's why I was so excited when I learned I was finally doing the TV series. What better way to promote the group than this? Magdalena, who is forced to work as an escort girl, is a victim of human trafficking, too."
The actress added: "I love all the roles I play on TV, but some of them have themes that are so unrealistic, they don't happen in real life. On the other hand, 'Magdalena' is shockingly realistic. Even I learn so much from it. I'm glad I can help empower women, open their eyes."
Complex character
Based on the Pilipino Komiks series "Kukulayan Ko ang Langit," the series is about a provincial lass, Magdalena (Bela), whose marriage to Baron (Ryan Eigenmann), a rich businessman from Manila, is arranged by her mother, Luding (Irma Adlawan). But instead of marrying her, Baron abuses Magdalena and forces her to work as an escort girl.
"No woman should be sold, bought, or taken home if she doesn't want to," Bela stressed.
"This character is complex. She's a vida-contravida," Bela added. "On the first week of the shoot, all of my scenes required crying. Magdalena is so naive. I'm like her in real life—too trusting. I think I'd be more effective playing the vengeful Magdalena because I'd feel more detached."
As to how much skin she would bare in the series, Bela said: "We're still bound by the standards of television. I know my director (Gina Alajar) will take good care of me. She briefed my mother about what I would be doing."
"Magdalena" premieres on GMA 7's "Afternoon Prime" time slot on Monday.

FRIDAY, Jan. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Air pollution may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure in black American women, a new study suggests.
Previous research has shown that air pollution boosts the chances of acute cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack, but it hasn't been known whether it also increases the likelihood of chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension).
In this study, researchers examined the link between these chronic illnesses and exposure to nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, also known as particle pollution. Nitrogen oxides are indicators of traffic-related air pollution.
The study included about 4,000 black women living in Los Angeles who were followed from 1995 to 2005. During that time, 531 new cases of hypertension and 183 new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in the women, said study leader Patricia Coogan, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health and the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University, and colleagues.
For each increase of 12 parts per billion (ppb) in exposure to nitrogen oxides, there was a 24 percent rise in the risk of diabetes and an 11 percent rise in the risk of hypertension. Exposure to particle pollution also appeared to increase the risk for having both diseases, but the evidence for this was weaker than for nitrogen oxides.
The study was released online Jan. 4 in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the journal Circulation.
Two previous studies suggested that traffic-related air pollution increased the risk of diabetes, but those studies did not include black Americans.
"A link between air pollution and the risks of diabetes and hypertension is of particular importance to African American women, because the incidence of both conditions is almost twice as high in African American women as in white women," Coogan s

Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by Susan Payne: Wonderful Cruise

Compare Prices on Norwegian Jade Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Wonderful Cruise
We sailed out of Venice watching from our Aft balcony. What a way to start our cruise. We chose an Aft suite from remarks on other reviews and could not have been happier. This was our first cruise and it will certainly not be our last. As it was our 25th Wedding Anniversary we decided to splash out on a Penthouse Suite. It was certainly well worth the extra money. With concierge and butler service which was great.
We ate our evening meals mainly in The Grand Pacific which was very nice, the staff were brilliant, they could not have been more helpful and always had a smile on their face. Breakfast and Lunch in Cagneys was as a perk well worth having. Food presented well and again very attentive staff.
Overall the entertainment was very good. We went to see The Group 4Ever twice in The Stardust Theatre who were absolutely brilliant.
We went on two excursions, one in Santorini and one in Katakalon, these were both only for 4 hours each and we're well worth More doing and well worth the money.
We would certainly recommend NCL to anyone and will be cruising with them again next summer. Less

Shuttle Model Move Shows Way For Atlantis
Moving the high fidelity model of the space shuttle Dec. 10 called for an array of planning, about 100 people and a specialized trailer. It also called for the temporary removal of 18 light poles, four traffic signals and some signs.
It took the team about five hours to make the six-mile trip from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to the Turn Basin across the street from the Vehicle Assembly Building. The group started rolling at 7:30 a.m. so they wouldn't have to worry about the dark.
"It went very well," said Gerald "Jay" Green, project manager for the move. "I felt a great sense of accomplishment when we got it done."
A similar move will be made next year when space shuttle Atlantis is taken the opposite direction to its display location at the Visitor Complex.
The model's convoy never traveled more than about 6 mph. It came to a stop many times along the way so the trailer's built-in jacks could raise or lower the wings to get past obstacles such as guard shacks and traffic lights.
"There were four or five really hard spots," Green said.
But then, moving space shuttles and full-scale model shuttles has always required extra consideration. For instance, crews moving a space shuttle through the mountains in California had to cut slots in the rock to make room for the wings.
Moving the model didn't require such an extreme action, but it took a month of planning and considerable study of potential routes. Even 3-D modeling was incorporated to find problem zones. All this was before Green and his group found out they would have to move it with the wings attached.
The first plans called for the model's wings to be cut off, but that decision was changed, forcing Green to model for a wingspan of 78 feet, not just the relatively narrow fuselage.
"We had to redo the plan in about a week," Green said. "We knew we would eventually have to take Atlantis, so we had to figure out what would make it work."
Some of the workers were on hand in case more signs or other hardware had to be removed as the model made its way.
Beyel Bros., a heavy lifting and hauling contractor, used a specialized trailer that had lifts built in, along with 144 wheels that could turn and swivel so the trailer could move nearly sideways if needed.
The tightest fit came when the wings crossed within six inches of a railroad crossing sign.
The shuttle model took a different route through the center, including going the "wrong way" on an entrance ramp to avoid going beneath the bridge over Kennedy Parkway. With tour buses and other traffic detoured to the other side of the parkway, the model moved north on the southbound side.
The model is expected to remain at the Turn Basin until February, when it will be taken on an open barge to Texas for display at Space Center Houston, the visitor center for NASA's Johnson Space Center.
The model, which weighs some 130,000 pounds, about the same as a real shuttle, is outfitted with doors and people toured the inside of it for years at the Visitor Complex.
"You can go in it, which I think is a great thing," Green said. "It's going somewhere where it's going to be used and enjoyed."

Syria warns Jordan over aiding rebels
Thursday - 4/4/2013, 5:18pm EDT
Associated Press
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Syria's regime sternly warned neighboring Jordan on Thursday that it was "playing with fire" by allowing the U.S. and other countries to train and arm rebels on its territory.
Jordan, America's closest ally in the Arab world, has long been nervous that President Bashar Assad's hard-line regime could retaliate for supporting the rebels. The warning carried on state media may add to those jitters, though Jordanian government officials publicly downplayed it as "mere speculation by the Syrian media."
Syrian state television said leaks in U.S. media show Jordan "has a hand in training terrorists and then facilitating their entry into Syria." State radio accused Jordan of "playing with fire."
A front-page editorial in the government daily al-Thawra accused Amman of adopting a policy of "ambiguity" by training the rebels while at the same time publicly insisting on a "political solution" to the Syrian crisis.
"Jordan's attempt to put out the flame from the leaked information will not help as it continues with its mysterious policy, which brings it closer to the volcanic crater," the paper said.
Two Jordanian officials downplayed the diplomatic tiff with Syria. One said Jordan will not discuss the state of relations through the media.
"Such discussions are usually carried out through the appropriate diplomatic channels,' he said. Both officials insisted on anonymity out of concern that their comments may further irritate relations, which have been historically bumpy.
Jordan has long been concerned that the Assad regime could use chemical weapons against it, or that agents linked to the regime or its allied Lebanese militant group Hezbollah could attack the kingdom.
The Syrian warnings appeared to reflect the regime's concerns about statements by U.S. and other Western and Arab officials saying Jordan has been facilitating arms shipments and hosting training camps for Syrian rebels since last October.
The training and the influx of foreign-funded weapons have coincided with rebel gains in southern Syria near the strategic border area with Jordan.
Those gains could be leading up to control of the region along the Jordanian border. That would be a major victory that could offer rebels a staging ground to try to attack the capital Damascus, the seat of Assad's power.
Rebels already control large swathes of territory in northern Syria along the Turkish border.
Activists reported more advances in the south on Thursday.
The rebels receiving training in Jordan are mainly secular Sunni Muslim tribesmen from central and southern Syria who once served in the army and police.
The force is expected to fill a security vacuum -- mainly to protect the border with Jordan, assist displaced Syrians and possibly set up a safe haven for refugees -- if Assad is toppled.
The Syrians training in Jordan are also envisioned as a counterbalance to the Islamic militant groups that have proven to be among the most effective of the myriad rebel factions fighting Assad's forces on the ground.
Chief among those rebel extremist groups is Jabhat al-Nusra or the Nusra Front, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist group and says is associated with al-Qaida.
The prominence of such extremist groups has fueled fears in Jordan that the chaos in Syria could lead to a failed state where Islamic militants have a free hand.
Israel and the United States also are concerned about militants potentially operating in the area near the Israeli frontier with Syria in the Golan Heights -- also in the south -- should Assad's regime collapse.
Though Jordan is supporting one segment of the disparate patchwork of rebel groups, it is nevertheless concerned about the recent rebel advances in the south along its border.
One fear is that the fall of the area into rebel hands could unleash lawlessness on the border and provide a haven for Islamic extremist groups such as Nusra Front on its doorstep.
The Islamist rebel groups, particularly Nusra, are complicating the battlefield by thwarting much-needed international aid from countries such as the U.S. that do not want to bolster extremist, jihadi groups.
In the latest fighting in the south, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighters seized most parts of Karak neighborhood in the province of Daraa after several days of fighting.
Daraa province borders Jordan and its provincial capital of the same name was the birthplace of the uprising against Assad two years ago.
There were also heavy clashes reported in the town of Sheik Maskeen, which is on the route from the Jordanian capital Amman to Damascus. Daraa is 115 kilometers (71 miles) south of Damascus.

Oasis of the Seas Cruise Review by llowe: Great Trip but nickel and dimed to death.

Great Trip but nickel and dimed to death.
Don't bring any booze with you. There is security at every port and the only thing they are looking for is booze. They don't want you to bring any on board. They only want you to buy their drinks. And it was a different price for the same drink at different locations. Why?????????????.
On a positive note I didn't see any drunks on board. So maybe this is a good thing.
Food was okay. You get sick of eating at the main dining room that takes over 2 hours to dine. You get sick of eating at the Windjammer Market. And where are the midnight buffets????? I thought the food could have been better.
ON a positive note the shows were great and the Comedy Show was awesome along with the Ice Skating Show.
Photos let them take as many as you can at all of the ports. The photos were awesome and the best deal is to buy the CD for 299.00 and get all of your pictures that you can print on your own when you get home otherwise every individual picture you buy is More 20.00. This includes the family pictures that are taken on the Formal Nites.
We went on an excursion to Atlantis and that was awesome. Well worth the money the fish tanks called the Dig is great to view and the kids will love the waterslides.
We also went on the St John Island tour. I felt it was a waste of money. They take you over by boat and then they drive you around. Everyone that did the snorkel trip on St. John was very happy.
We went to Lotterie Farms for the Zip Lining on St. Maarten. It is actually a rope obstacle course set in the trees. There are a few zip lines. We had an overall good time but this is very strenuous and we were all feeling the pain the next day. They have a longer zipline course but that was not offered by the cruise ship.
The best thing on the Oasis is the Flow Rider for the older kids and there were tons of activities for your kids. Very family friendly ship. Less

We had a balcony over Central Park. This was great it gave you a place to eat room service breakfast in the morning and it didn't break the bank. It was quiet and relaxing. The room steward was awesome. Suitcases go under the bed and there was lots of closet space with lots of hangers. I couldn't believe how many hangers they gave you. Only problem is not enough electrical outlets. The ones that are there are hard to find and hard to get to.

Whether it's for spiritual purity, just to keep the wolves at bay, a natural fear of STDs or other reasons, sometimes a woman just decides it's time for a little abstinence.
While women are often told that a good man will wait, more seem to be expecting relationships to get physical quickly, oftentimes without any sort of commitment.
After all, it is the 21st century. Many would argue that chastity is an antiquated notion. The women's liberation movement allowed ladies to be more sexually free. Shows like "Sex and the City" offered portrayals of take-charge women who were empowered and not the least bit timid about sex.
Not to be cliché and blame the music industry, but images of scantily clad women throwing themselves at men in music videos, doesn't help.
So, while it's perfectly reasonable for a woman to request a man wait longer than the obligatory 30 days, is it realistic for her to expect him to jump on board?
To get a man's opinion, Sister 2 Sister asked reality star and self-proclaimed relationship expert Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad what men say about abstinence when they're in the locker room and out of the earshot of women.
While he respects women who choose to be abstinent, he questions their motives.
He said, "In the 21st century the word abstinence has become more popular than ever before, but it has gained its popularity for all the wrong reasons."
"Women are using the word as a man eliminator instead of spiritual cleansing purposes. When one abstains, this should be the time when you and your Maker become closer than ever before. Not the time for you to shout it out to every man walking past, as a way of showing off your new toy. Abstaining is synonymous with fasting. This journey is between you and God. This is not a game," said Tiy-E.
Tiy-E didn't just take issue with women using abstinence as a way to weed out the dogs, he also criticized women who first claim to be waiting for marriage, but really just seem to be waiting for Mr. Right.
"Interesting enough, women are holding on to this word until the right man comes along and then it's bye-bye to the virtuous soul. So why not say, 'I'm waiting for Mr. Right?' End of discussion. Women aren't holding out until they get married, and men know it. The majority relinquishes her treasures once she believes he is the one. If she does hold out until marriage I applaud her, but she's not in the majority."
Does a woman's celibacy turn men off? Dr. Tiy-E addresses that next week.
—Tracy L. Scott
Follow Dr. Tiy-E @drtiye and at www.DrTiyE.com.

Today we released a couple great new enhancements that we've been very excited to unveil. Quite a few people have been asking for this for weeks and we're happy to deliver. Until now users could log emails to open Opportunities and Cases that were related to the contact in the email. This has been the most popular feature in the app by a wide margin and it's worked great. But of course, your jobs are more complicated than that and you need a way to relate emails to other people and also Opportunities or Cases that may not be directly related to that person.
Search and Find Other Contacts
Now you can search for another person in salesforce from within Cirrus Insight and relate emails to that person even if they're not on the original email. There's a new search icon displayed to the right of a person's name in the Cirrus Insight sidebar. When you click that you'll be able to search for another Lead or Contact in Salesforce and then choose the right one from the list.
Once you've selected the new person, we display their profile from Salesforce in the sidebar just as you would see any other person. We'll also display their open Activities, Activity History, Open Opportunities and Open Cases.
If you work with sales partners or support partners, this is probably something you've been looking for for a while. As a new email comes in, you want to relate that email back to the partner that you're working with on that particular ticket or deal.
Search for Any Opportunity or Case
Conversations with your customers don't stop when a Case closes or an Opportunity is won. It's important to be able to enhance the customer context as conversations continue and now you can do that right from Gmail.
When you click the "Add to Salesforce" button next to an email you want to log, we show you the familiar Add to Salesforce dialog – with a twist.
Even if you don't have any open Opportunities or Cases, you'll see this dialog where you can change the subject line that will be saved to Salesforce – and you can search for any Opportunity or Case.
And of course, when you choose an Opportunity or Case from the search results, the email will be logged in to Salesforce, related to both the chosen Opportunity or Case and the Lead or Contact record displayed in the sidebar.
How To Increase Your Salesforce ROI by 70%
We're sharing FREE tips that have helped over 60,000 people super-charge their Salesforce usage.

2Pac ft. T.I. & Ashanti - Pac's Life
Artist: Tupac
Producer: LT Hutton
Album: Pac's Life
Avg Rating: 4.7 ( 40 votes )
The chorus to Pac's Life, yet another postmortem single from Tupac Shakur, proves his music was made to span generations. "Everyone's talking bout Pac's life," spits 2Pac as he exchanges chorus lines with Ashanti. Though the beat is uncharacteristic of 2Pac's style, it showcases the versatility of a man who recorded his vocals some ten plus years ago. Producer LT Hutton created the instrumental for this upbeat single, which features ATL star and large fan of 2Pac himself, T.I. (and the previously mentioned Ashanti). Pac's Life, set for release on November 21st, will encompass nearly 100% of unreleased material from his gigantic library of acapella verses. Incredibly there still remains unheard material, despite 2Pac's music career only lasting from the release of his debut album in 1991 through the time of his death in 1996.
