Daily Temperature (°F) 88 Min. Daily Temperature (°F) -41 History and Culture History Koyukon Athabascans have lived in this area for thousands of years. In 1901, Captain E.T. Barnette established a trading post on the Chena River called "Barnette's Cache." A year later, gold was discovered 16 miles north of the post. The town grew as the Chena steamboat landing brought many prospectors during the Pedro Dome gold rush. Fairbanks was named in 1902 after Indiana Senator Charles Fairbanks, who became Vice President of the US from 1905 to 1909. In 1903, Judge Wikersham moved the seat of the third judicial district from Eagle to Fairbanks. The population of the area continued to increase as Fairbanks became the hub of the Interior with the addition of the court, government offices, a jail, a post office, and the Northern Commercial Company. Barnette was elected as the first mayor of the City of Fairbanks in 1903 and established telephone service, fire protection, sanitation ordinances, electricity, and steam heat. By 1910, the official population had grown to 3,541, although more than 6,000 miners lived and worked their claims on creeks north of town. Ladd Field (now Fort Wainwright) was constructed in 1938. Construction of the Alcan Highway in the 1940s and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline in the 1970s fueled growth and development. On January 1, 1964, Fairbanks North Star Borough was incorporated by an Act of the Alaska State Legislature. It encompasses 7,361 square miles, making it the fourth largest borough in the State of Alaska. About one percent of the land is developed for urban, residential, agricultural, or other purposes. Developed, non-military land in and around the cities totals about 51 square miles. In 1968, oil and gas reserves were discovered on Alaska's North Slope, north of the Borough. The Borough was the staging, service, and supply center for the construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline. The discovery of oil and the construction of the transmission pipeline accelerated growth in nearly all sectors of the Borough's economy from 1974 through 1977. Currently, two refineries operate within the Borough. Culture Fairbanks North star Borough has abundant indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, including swimming pools, downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking and bicycle trails, golf courses, and softball and soccer fields. Annual community events include the annual Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race, the North American Sled Dog Racing Championships, Nordic Ski Races, Fairbanks Winter Carnival, and the World Ice Art Championships; Midnight Sun Festival, Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, Golden Days Pioneer Celebration, World Eskimo Indian Olympics, Midnight Sun Pow Wow, Fairbanks Folk Festival, Tanana Valley Fair, Equinox Marathon, and the Festival of Native Arts. Fairbanks has a vibrant arts community with events and programs offered through the Fairbanks Council of the Arts, Fairbanks Light Opera Theater, Fairbanks Concert Association, Fairbanks Drama Association, Fairbanks Shakespeare Theater, Fairbanks Community Band, Fairbanks Children's Choir, First Friday Art Events, and Festival Fairbanks. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is the largest campus in the state's university system, and is a land grant, sea grant, and space grant institution. In 2013 the campus had 10,000 students enrolled. It has both a concert hall and theatre and offers a number of cultural activities during the year. The UA campus includes the Museum of the North, a major year-round visitor attraction. The museum includes Alaskan Native artifacts, botanical and natural history exhibits, and mineral and fossil samples. The museum has a continuous research program. Newer additions to the year-round attraction inventory are the 30,000 square-foot Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum at Wedgewood Resort and the 38,720 square-foot Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center, the newly-configured and expanded Gold Dredge 8, and the remodeled Chena Hot Springs Resort and Ice Hotel and the Fairbanks Community Museum. Interior Alaska is home to over 70 Alaska Native organizations. Doyon Limited, Tanana Chiefs Conference, the Fairbanks Native Association, and Denakkanaaga Inc. are headquartered in the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

COLUMBIA CITY — Betty Nelson has run enough miles to have circled the earth almost three times.
At approximately age 35, this Columbia City woman started taking her first steps to lead her on a 30-year journey including 40 marathons and more than 70,000 miles under her sneakers.
Now at age 67, she is lending her expertise and experience to Whitley County residents who want to accomplish a goal – one step at a time.
PIERCETON — With computer malfunctions and online disconnects, ISTEP+ testing was deemed "a mess" by Indiana lawmakers.
The state-mandated test experienced technical difficulties when testing contractor, McGraw-Hill, was unable to keep up on the demand.
Testing results have a determination on overall school performance, as well as student and teacher evaluations. With the lack of testing consistency, concerns are rising across the state on how integral the testing results can be.
CHURUBUSCO — Bids for trash contracts were discussed in a special meeting of the Churubusco Town Council last night.
Four bids were submitted to the council and were opened for the initial review at the last council meeting.
Among the four bidders was current contract holder National Serv-All and Whitley Environmental, current recycling contractor for the county.
Only Steve Smith, of Whitley Environmental, was present for the special meeting.
Each proposal included a three-year and a five-year option. However, Whitley Environmental offered a third choice.
COLUMBIA CITY — With the recent conviction of former Whitley County Sheriff's Detective Chuck Vogely for operating while intoxicated, some changes have been made in the department.
Second-shift Sergeant Jason Spencer is taking over Vogely's position as detective.
On April 13, Vogely was arrested for drunk driving, and the sheriff's department has made a decision on the future of his career.
Vogely pleaded guilty to OWI April 15, and WCSD Chief Deputy Marc Gatton said after the court proceedings, disciplinary actions moved forward by the department.
Most accurately, in my opinion, Benghazi is...
FORT WAYNE (AP) — A former University of Saint Francis athlete has been sentenced to a year in prison for his role in the rape of an incapacitated woman at a party.
Twenty-three-year-old Troy Turner apologized during an Allen County court hearing Wednesday during which he was sentenced on a sexual battery charge. An area newspaper reported Turner is the second of three men to be sentenced for the attack that happened after an alcohol-fueled house party in October 2011.
Former St. Francis football players Austin Bower and Alexander Beierwalter pleaded guilty to rape charges.

Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I lived on Park Point while going to UMD, the fall before joining the Marine Corps. They really have some crazy weather in that port town! Must have made me crazy enough to volunteer right in the middle of the Viet Nam War!
Yikes--really crazy nuts!
One spring there was ice jambed up in the harbor in June.
The year that the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk was also a pretty cold one--think it was 1975--back in college by then! Still had all my parts--must have been lucky not to have been sent into the war zone!
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Chip, Nice looking ribs. Are you using a hand mixed rub? Does that cut have a name? If not I'd suggest the bear claw. Good use of the apple wood. I did a chuck roast yesterday with a combination of apple and hard maple.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I use a home made rub most of the time but this rub was "Weber Kick'n Chicken" seasoning. The cut was an attempt to get a good smoke penetration and I like a little dryer and chewer rib. I do not think the cut has a name but who knows.
We also sauced them at the table with a home made sauce.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Got a couple of things on the for the upcoming week-end. Got to move the oven from the middle of the lawn to somewhere on the driveway. It has been sitting in one spot for many weeks now and if it isn't moved, all the grass will die in its footpring...so back to borrowing the forklift.
Next is trying to make Finnish rye bread again. Hopefully by Saturday, my oven door will be complete. Making it from 1.6 stainless steel with tapping for oven BM thermometer, threaded studs to accomodate handles and able to be disassembled to place insulation in the sandwich core-40mm thick door. If I cannot get it done, can still use the temporaty plywood door. It retains the heat just fine.
With an door mounted thermometer, I can better judge the temperature and maybe avoid the problem of burnt food!
Next is figuring out a final place for the oven and what kind of structure will cover the WFO and other outdoor space. Am tired of the tarp and having to worry about rain. Guess it will all work in time.
The last time the oven was fired, started the oven early then left it unattended--the entire oven cleared as well as the transition areas. The temperatures of the refractory near the exterior opening (oya ishi basho) were quite cool compared to the near 1000F interior temps. This week-end I'll try for two days burning and see if the whole thing has dried out.
Been looking for recipe's for different kinds of sausages. There is a very good Slovenian meat shop in Gilbert, Minnesota that makes great sausages--wish I could get some of those home recipes...wishful thinking though--family secrets!
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Saturday I did a little shopping for Sunday feast. Asked a good friend what fish would cook well in a WFO and he recommended Tai. The English name for this fish is RED SNAPPER. Picked up a 5 pound whole fish and had it gutted and scaled at the market--ready for a sunday meal.
This is the first time in weeks that the oven was fired. The kindling was not 100% dry because of rain on Friday, and it took a little longer to actually get the fire going. Once burning, I added oak twice--first time 3 pieces--3" around; second time 5 pieces various sizes but all under 4". That was the total wood requirement to bring the oven from ambient to 470 deg C plus. Before noon, I let the fire die down and removed the coals. The oven sat from noon til
around 4 and the temp ...oven door on was still 265C. This was a little high for fish, but the concoction was salt & herb encrusted Red Snapper with lemon slices in the belly cavity. first time so had to watch the cook closely--
After 25 minutes the salt dome was slightly brown, an additional 15 minutes and I took the fish out. I let it sit another 15 minutes encrusted in salt then checked on the doneness. The fish was done but extremely moist, almost to the point of being mushy.
Probably should have left it in another 10 minutes and possibly the water would have burnt itself out. But too late for that. It was a very mild tasting fish, enjoyed by all--actually we dipped portions into salt to get more flavor. good thing that fresh fish is cheap here. About the same price per kg as regular hamburger--but a lot more healthy to eat.
I think that the oven is cured and dry now. Zero cracks on the inside, dome clears totally after maybe 1.5 hours, the perlite outer insulation shell has cracks like tectonic plates on the earth--same for the render coat.
Now have to make plans to do the final render coats; add some stucco mesh and finish up with shikui--plaster top coat. same product used for outside of castles and fences around zairai homes in Japan. I might choose a pigment instead of the traditional pure white.
Also on Saturday, moved the oven via forklift to my driveway---the prolonged presence on the lawn was killing off last years hard work with preparing a base and sodding. Now, it is in a location that it is not crowded and I can easily cover and uncover it while I put the finish coats on the dome.
I think I'll start making forms for a smaller version of my oven. Mine is much to large for regular japanese households; but the concept of a WFO is still valid and I think there are a lot of people who would use an oven if it were small enough; light enough; and friendly as far as wood consumption goes. Thinking about a smaller version with 2' interior finish dimension--and try to lighten and cheapen things up! This will be a nice exercise in formwork again.
This "structural slab for WFO" has run it's course. The work was not that difficult, castable refractory is very forgiving even with erratic burns and sometimes way over heating.. Next time, probably no pericrete and a different design. No dome..just an enclosure and poured insulation. Once that the forms are completed; maybe one week to finish an oven ready for firing! That is the next challenge.
Located a super plasticizer and have high hopes for using it in different applications. The brand I will be using is an international company with offices in Japan. Their instructions are available in both Japanese and English. It is amazing what chemistry can do--even for something down to earth as concrete!
Looking forward to using the new product and experimenting with it! Thanks David s for bringing the topic to my attention!

Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I use Sika Viscocrete 2210. i'm not a chemist, but I'm sure it is a pretty distant relative of liquid detergent that we are familiar with to wash dishes. Tons of research has gone into the formulation of super plasticisers to ensure they are compatible with concrete to improve strength, plasticity, finish and reduce shrinkage. Using the correct product that has undergone rigorous testing is prudent IMO.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I see the different camps from Australia have checked in. Glad to hear from both of you!
A homepage that really caught my eye is: BASF
If you first click--from Japanese to English, top right corner--the page becomes understandable. Then scroll down to the Reliable Partnership subtitle and there are two videos to watch. Both are very interesting.
They talk about basf product line called SDC. I thought it really interesting in they are providing a vibrationless concrete that reduces placement time considerably and makes an exceptional finish product in castings.
I need to get all the specifics and then try this stuff out myself for small pours.
I know how difficult it is to get a good looking casting and trying to keep balance of proper vibration so that the aggregate does not settle out. I really hate to see honeycomb concrete after a lot of preparation time making a mold.
Maybe this is new...or been around for years, but this is the first time I saw this product. I am sure there are many companies making similar products. Might work great for cast counters, thin slabs, ornamental concrete... I just haven't seen it before.

Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I used "Websters" definition as meaning: a group of persons; esp : a group engaged in promoting or defending a theory, doctrine, position, or person.
Both you "Brickie of Oz" and "Davids" give differing viewpoints on the same topic of WFO's.
I wasn't suggesting that you were displaying exaggerated effeminate mannerisms--ah you were just making fun again! Really have to watch what I write!
I've been right out of the sticks all my life--that is where I like being from! --it might show in my writing! Too bad, that is me!

Now completely revised and expanded, with new models, new full-color graphics, and new know-how, this is the irresistible bestseller that marries the fun of making paper airplanes with the hard science of aeronautical engineering. The result? The perfect collection for novice and frequent flier alike. It features:
•A hangar's worth of different designs, from the basic dart to a biplane, autogyro, and the famous World Record Paper Airplane
•112 ready-to-fold airplanes with attention-grabbing full-color graphics
•An improved and expanded primer on the principles of flight, including weight vs. lift, drag vs. thrust, and adjustments for greater stability
• Everything you need to know about the all-important throw--how to match throwing technique with the right model
•Aerobatics: how to perform circles, loops, dives, and other stunts
• How to organize (and win!) paper airplane contests
•Plus a flight log and pull-out runway
Combining the fun of making a piece of paper fly with the science of aeronautical engineering, here is an all-you-need (and then some) book for beginners and experienced flyers alike. Written with soaring enthusiasm by the world-record holder, it includes:
It's everything you need to top 18.80 seconds. If you dare.
About the Author
Ken Blackburn has been fascinated with aviation since he was an eight-year-old frequenting the aviation section of his library in North Carolina. He first broke the world record for paper airplane time aloft in 1983 when he was a junior at North Carolina State University, with a 16.89 flight. After graduating magnum cum laude with a degree in aerospace engineering, Blackburn broke the record again. In February 1994, he broke the record yet again with a time of 18.8 seconds. When not braking records, he is also an aerospace engineer for McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis.

Queensland Seafood Industry Association has accused the federal government of pandering to 'green ideology' by proposing a marine park in the Coral Sea larger than NSW, potentially impacting the livelihoods of 40 trawler operators.
Proposed Coral Sea Heritage Park PEW
Consultation for a proposed 989,842sq km marine reserve in the Coral Sea closes on February 24, with the industry claiming the proposed reserve is a sellout to the lobbying efforts of US-based global environment group the PEW foundation. The plan would close 51 per cent of the reserve to all fishing and prohibit trawling.
PEW, in partnership with 12 other environmental non-government organisations, is pushing for the entire area to be classified a no-take zone. It developed its own plan for the region in 2008.
The Queensland Seafood Industry Association has expressed it will submit its own response to the reserve, and will be calling for a 3000sq km zone inside the marine park where trawlers would be able to operate.
QSIA chief executive Winston Harris said the government should accept the compromise, as trawler operators were able to fish in 10 per cent of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
QSIA president Geoff Tilton said stakeholders met Environment Department officials last week in Brisbane, and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences was conducting an industry survey to estimate a likely compensation package for trawler operators.
'I'd rather they (the government) listen to the fishing industry who currently operates in this area than listening to overseas conservation groups who have the potential and the money to lobby hard and possibly remove a good food resource from the Australian public, purely on green ideology,' Tilton said.
Of about 340 trawler operators in Queensland, about 40 would be directly affected by the reserve proposal.
Mr Tilton backed statements from Queensland Nationals senator Ron Boswell that the proposed reserve would force trawlers to overfish remaining areas of the Queensland coast.
Senator Boswell said the government would be forced to buy up licences, boats and fish processors to reduce fishing.
'The government has completely underestimated the financial chaos it will cause to the industry and the economies of small coastal towns,' Senator Boswell said.
Environment Minister Tony Burke describes the Coral Sea as 'a near-pristine area with abundant marine life' and thus, deserving of protection, adding that the government's framework aimed to minimise the impact of the park on industry and communities.

Warner Bros. Records Signs Buzzed-About NYC Rock Band SKATERS
Warner Bros. Records is pleased to announce that it has signed buzzed-about New York City-based rock band SKATERS to its roster. Their smart, dynamic sound blends their disparate new wave, punk and hip-hop influences into their own modern indie hybrid.
Their live shows and independently released EP has already earned them attention from The New York Times, Vice/Noisey, BlackBook, Interview, Paste, as well as airplay on BBC Radio 1 in the U.K. and Triple J Radio in Australia. Click here to listen and post "I Wanna Dance (But I Don't Know How)".
SKATERS were formed in early 2012 after singer Michael Ian Cummings and Noah Rubin spent a year trading demos back and forth from Los Angeles to London with guitarist Joshua Hubbard. A few months later, the three met in a Chinatown loft to created their own art zine, YONKS, and record their debut EP, Schemers, which was given away for free on the band's website and drew immediate critical praise:
SKATERS debut full-length will be released by Warner Bros. Records this summer. In the meantime, the band will release their first 7-inch single on April 9th, which will feature tracks "I Wanna Dance (But I Don't Know How)"and "Armed." Check out the band when they perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas, this March and stay tuned for SKATERS' first headlining tour to kick off in April. More details to be announced soon.

Publisher's Description
David Brainerd, an early missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania, died in 1747 at the age of twenty-nine at the home of his long-time friend and supporter, the eminent Puritan theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards. It is thanks to Edwards' careful preservation and thoughtful editing of his friend's Diary and Journal that Brainerd has influenced Christians all over the world for over 250 years.
As he labored in what was still the untamed American frontier to bring the Gospel to the Indians, Brainerd faced many challenges, including depression, loneliness, and physical illness. Yet his genuine piety and single-minded devotion to God, both in heart and in practice, form a consistent backdrop to his turbulent inner world. This compilation offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man compelled by God to share His love with others in the most difficult of circumstances.
Product Reviews
Dan Saugstad5 Stars Out Of 5March 3, 2007Dan SaugstadThis review was written for The Life and Diary of David Brainerd.Wow, I think every Christian who wants depth in their walk should read this book. Both Jonathan Edwards and David Brainerd were men of incredibly deep examination of themselves and their state before God. Something western Christianity seems to have lost today. Read it and take the examples to heart so that you can truly attempt to prize Gods grace to sinners.
Robert Smith5 Stars Out Of 5October 27, 2000Robert SmithThis review was written for The Life and Diary of David Brainerd.Excellent book about a missionary to the Indians in the 1750s before our country became the USA. It will challenge you to seek God more and allow Him to use you for His honor and glory. I am reading it for the third time and will continue to go back through it to gain more insight into God's way of working a Revival.

One of the most frequent questions my students ask me is "How can I learn all of this music in the time I have to practice?"
The answer is to be very strict with yourself about WHAT you play, and how many times you REPEAT it to let it sink in. Think about it. The average student, when preparing a piece of music, plays along until something bad happens. Then what does he/she do? Why, go back to the beginning, of course, right? Then try it again, hoping for a better outcome?
Wrong! Look at the problem part as a hole in the garment that is your piece. It will only get bigger as you crash through that place, playing it wrong again and again. Instead, sew up the hole by focusing the intense brilliance of your brain on it for a little while. Analyze it. What makes that place difficult? Practice it VERY SLOWLY, perfectly. When you can play it once perfectly at a slow tempo, do not go back to the beginning and hope for the best. At this point, you have played it correctly once and incorrectly about fifteen times, right? Repeat it correctly eight times, with relaxation and perfection. Speed is not important, only accuracy.
More soon about making the difficult places your favorite parts of the piece!

Mythbusters cannonball hits Dublin home and minivan
View Single Post
December 7 2011, 04:21 PM
Location: Fifth Circle of Hell
Re: Mythbusters cannonball hits Dublin home and minivan
So bearing in mind many of us not familiar with greater San Francisco had no idea a Dublin existed in that region, did anyone for a moment think they launched the cannonball into orbit and it landed in Ireland? (Or, more realistically, that for some reason the guys went to Ireland to fire off a cannonball?) [EDIT: Obviously TheGodBen above was thinking along the same lines - we posted about the same time!]
Anyway, I have no doubt they're air this. And it'll probably be the subject of a later retrospective special, like the recent one where they mentioned being banned from a small town after shattering windows during the "knock your socks off" experiment. If nothing else it'll be a vivid demonstration of their "don't try this at home" mantra.
And Mythbusters/Discovery have a ton of insurance, so the people involved won't be wanting. Of course the most important thing is no one was hurt.
But this clearly a fluke. It's not as if they just went out into some random neighbourhood or some field. They were in the controlled setting of an active bomb range under the supervision of the authorities. As the article itself says, being so close to active army bases, etc. carries risk. The house could have just as easily been hit by shrapnel from a bomb squad training exercise.
I'm sure everything will work out OK (and Savage's no comment was clearly a case of lawyer instruction, which is standard procedure). I just hope this doesn't result in some knee-jerk decision (by authorities, municipalities, or the show itself) to stop doing these sorts of experiments. Maybe the only difference is they'll aim in the opposite direction from now on...

Branston attracts more than 100 to senior pairs
Posted: June 27, 2014|
BRANSTON Golf Club attracted more than 100 players from 24 clubs from right across the Midlands and one from France to their Senior Men's Open Pairs competition.
The competition was held at the club's challenging championship course, noted for its water hazards.
Widely admired as arguably the most professionally run and friendly seniors golf section in the Midlands, Branston is thriving with nearly 100 members meeting to play friendly competitions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday as well as 26 inter-club matches home and away during the season.
These, together with mixed competitions with members of Branston Ladies section, a Winter League, two Open events and a captain's away day makes Branston stand out.
"In addition to strong entries from local golf clubs, today's event attracted teams from clubs stretching from Nottingham and Wellingborough in the east to Wolverhampton and Stafford in the west and south to Bromsgrove and the Vale of Evesham - we even had one competitor from Carcassonne in France," said Rod Greenfield, organiser of the Branston Seniors Open Pairs competition.
"Branston Seniors is a real mixture of characters, from professionals to entrepreneurs, all of whom excel in the really good spirit and fun while enjoying a game of golf with like-minded people of mixed golfing abilities," said Ken Vaughan, captain for 2014 and a retired policeman well known locally as a footballer, initially with Repton Casuals and then Staffordshire Police, where he also ran the County Police Golf Society for two decades.
Vice captain for 2014, Ted Bell, a one-time local government Trading Standards specialist responsible for consumer advice and prosecutions in magistrates courts, and later a Nissan car local dealer only started playing golf after retiring fully in 2006.
He said: "Golf has surprisingly taught me the discipline of self control and patience!"


text: The Sparkplug wiki last edited by Cellophane_Girl on 12/01/13 04:55PM View full history CharacterSparkplug is the sister of Teresa Feran, a.k.a. Flare of the Champions. Like her sister she was brought up in South America by an enclave of die-hard Nazis, and like Flare, and her two brothers, she had been experimented on to grant her superhuman powers when she grew older. When Flare left the compound, Sparkplug initially stayed. Eventually she left the enclave and located her sister, who had become a superhero in the time they had been apart.Because of her upbringing, Sparkplug is a fervant believer in the supremacy of the Aryan race, and quite prepared to state this opinion openly if asked; normally she considers it self-evident and doesn't bother. However she is intelligent enough to have resisted some of the brainwashing of her upbringing, and while she is arrogant about her racial superiority, she does not hold with any policies of discrimination against those "unfortunate" enough not to have been born Aryans.PowersSparkplug can generate and control electricity. She is also able to fly, and heals faster than regular humans.

Harrison Verge (left) and his daughter Darlene Ulvstal are working to start a breeding program for the Newfoundland pony.

Published on July 24, 2014
Harbour Grace's Harrison Verge is shown here with foundation Newfoundland stallions John Peter Payne (left) and Admiral Shalloway.
Photo by Nicholas Mercer/The Compass
There is a special picture resting on the mantle of Darlene Ulvstal's South Pinette, P.E.I., home.
The picture has Darlene as a babe walking down Harvey Street in Harbour Grace with her father and great grandfather, both named Harrison Verge.
In a moment of spontaneity, Darlene is quickly placed in the arms of her great grandfather who is steering a pony down the street while sat in a carriage.
It is at this point when the picture is snapped.
"He never let anyone take his picture," said Darlene, adding the label of rarity to the picture.
This picture represents a couple of things. First, It is a visual representation of her deep connection to the Newfoundland pony.
Some might say, it is where the pony planted a seed in her that would blossom later in life.
The picture foreshadows the future connection between father, daughter and horse.
For the past year, Harrison and Darlene have been working together to bring some of the lost foundation lines back to Newfoundland.
It started with Admiral Shalloway, which has been followed by John Peter Payne, an offspring of Rusty the Black River, a foundation stallion.
"He's a beautiful horse," said Harrison.
A jet-black stallion, Payne resembles a more compact version of the horse found in the pages of Walter Farley's The Black Stallion.
Before making the trip to Newfoundland, Payne stayed in P.E.I. with Darlene on her ranch.
"A lovely pony, we really miss him," she said.
Establishing the pony
This might seem like another story about a horse, but it is more than that.
It is about a family's desire to establish the Newfoundland pony to the grandeur it once had.
"It's a real shame," said Darlene. "It was a part of our culture.
"If there's nothing done, it will be gone."
To the end, Darlene and her father Harrison have been working tirelessly to bring back these valuable bloodlines.
Darlene scours the Internet, while her father uses the phone. Together, they aim to establish a breeding program to help resuscitate the program.
"It has to be a joint effort," said Darlene.
"She has the Internet knowledge and I know about horses," added Harrison.
Sending ponies
To help kick-start this, Harrison will be travelling with the stallions to P.E.I to mate with the mares Darlene has on her land.
When the foles are born, they will be sent back to Newfoundland.
That will not be the only thing being shared. Harrison will be divulging much of the knowledge he has attained about rearing horses with his daughter.
"It's a huge thing to work on this together," said Darlene.
In the end, it will be a family effort being made to bring the Newfoundland pony back from the brink.
"Not a lot of people get to do that," said Darlene.

LAWRENCEVILLECoke Blak, a low-cal blend of coffee and carbonation, hits the shelves Monday. Coca Cola's newest beverage may have enough caffeine to perk up the coffee-crazed masses and a low-cal kick to muscle into the $3.5 billion energy drink market, especially the carbonated segment Red Bull jump-started several years ago. "It appeals to both, and that's what makes it such a clever product," said John Sicher, publisher of the industry journal Beverage Digest. The new drink comes in a shiny black and tan 8-ounce bottle. It costs from $1.70 to $2, according to Consumer Reports. It's the latest concoction for Atlanta-based Coca-Cola. The company recently introduced Coke Zero and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. The timing seemed right for another debut given all the new drinks the company is putting on the market, said Coke spokesman Scott Williamson. Coca-Cola's strategy also illustrates how much the beverage aisle has changed. It's not like the old days when shelves were only filled with soft drinks, juices, tea and water. "The industry now understands innovation is pathway to growth," Sicher said. Perhaps the fastest-changing beverage niche is carbonated energy drinks, with everything from Red Bull to Rooster Booster brands in the mix. Coke already bucked up with Full Throttle, and PepsiCo. with AMP. James Liang, who runs a smoothie bar at a local gym, has several energy drinks on his shelves. Coke Blak's idea to blend coffee, caffeine and low-calories is solid, but the name of the drink might look wimpy next to the "Monster" and "Rip It" brands he carries. "Sounds more like a soft drink to me," said the 34-year-old owner of Atlanta Smoothie at LA Fitness on Sugarloaf Parkway. Coffee and cola blends are nothing new, according to Consumer Reports. A decade ago, Pepsi Kona, Java Cola, and Cafe Cola were introduced to put some fizz back in an otherwise flat carbonated beverage market. All failed, Consumer Reports said. Another version of Coke Blak, with a different formula, is already on sale in France. The U.S. variety is sweeter, with a caramel flavor more like Coca-Cola Classic, according a Consumer Reports taste test whose results were released Friday.

MONDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- The snoring and breathing disturbances of sleep apnea may be more than just a nuisance, with a new study linking the condition to higher risks for heart failure and heart disease in middle-aged and older men.
However, the study found no correlation between sleep apnea and coronary heart disease in women, or in men older than 70.
"The key here is that there is a lot of undiagnosed sleep apnea, and that, at least in men, it is associated with the development of coronary heart disease and heart failure. Only about 10 percent of sleep apnea cases are diagnosed, " said Dr. Daniel Gottlieb, associate professor of medicine, Boston University School of Medicine.
Gottlieb noted that while the jump in heart risk was noteworthy, it was not as large as that seen in previous clinic-based studies of sleep apnea because the participants were drawn from a broad community-based population.
According to background information in the study, sleep apnea sufferers awaken suddenly during the night struggling to breathe, often experiencing a shot of blood pressure- raising adrenaline. Most often, they go right back to sleep, unaware of what happened. But the awakenings are repeated, sometimes up to 30 times an hour, depriving the sufferer of vital oxygen and sound sleep.
The research is published online July 12 in Circulation.
In the study, almost 2,000 men and about 2,500 women -- all free of heart problems at the beginning of the research -- were recorded as they slept using polysomnograms, which measured the presence and severity of sleep apnea as calibrated on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index.

How to set refresh rate
On a Debian distro of Linux I have a PNY FX5200 dual head video card. I run two Viewsonic monitors. They aren't the same model (GS790- and PF790) and at the size I use, 1280x1024 a good refresh rate would be 90Hz. The system always sets it to 85Hz and I would like to alter that. Is therere a way to set the Vert refresh rate used?? I'm running 6106 Nvidia drivers by the way.
I'll post extracts from my config files if needed.
Re: How to set refresh rate
The Xserver video driver always sets to 85Hz for 1280x1024 because it is the standard VESA modes. It gets it from the monitor. If you want non-standard modes then you need to specify modelines in your XF86Config or xorg.conf. There are couple of modeline caculators on the web and here is one http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/
I just recently used it and i get 90Hz!
Re: How to set refresh rate
Thanks . I'll try the calculator. My monitors do support the size by the way.
Re: How to set refresh rate
Really higher doesn't have to improve image quality at all, getting away from its optimal frequency (85Hz useally) even decreases quality a bit. Further you don't see the difference between 85Hz and 90Hz.
Re: How to set refresh rate
The only reason I'm trying to get 90Hz to work is that the specs for both monitors state that 90Hz is best for 1280x 1024. No other reason. I just want to run them at their design specs.

The Philadelphia Phillies are open to almost any option that would fill the gaping hole that they have at third base. That almost should not include the recently designated for assignment Chone Figgins. In the old days the Phillies would go after a guy like Figgins and then do a public relations job on their fans as to why they thought he would return to the player he was four years ago. Those days are over and so are the days of Chone Figgins helping a team make the playoffs. Figgins will be 35 in January, has not hit over .190 the past two seasons, and has not had a good season since 2009. Third base help is hard to find, but Chone Figgins is not the answer for the 2013 Philadelphia Phillies. Follow the Phillies at MTRphilly.com, on Facebook and Twitter, and listen to Philly Baseball Beat and other great shows on MTRRadio.com 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Cheney Man's Body Found In Burned Car | Crime
Detectives are investigating the killing of a Cheney man after firefighters, responding to an overnight car fire on Forker Road near Bigelow Gulch, discovered a man's body in the trunk.
A passerby called 911 to report a burning car around 12:30 a.m. Car fires are a common occurrence on the steep roads that climb Mt. Spokane, so when District 9 fire crews responded to the car fire call Wednesday morning they probably thought they were responding to another routine service call.
The firefighters were able to extinguish the car quickly and it became anything but a routine call when they discovered a in the trunk of the car.
"They had responded to a car on fire. When they got up here they found a body in the trunk," Lieutenant Earl Howerton with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office said.
If the killer was hoping the fire would cover their tracks it didn't work. Damage to the car and victim was minimal and detectives think they already know the man's identity.
"The body will most likely get an autopsy today or tomorrow so we can verify who the person might be. We've called the possible victim's family so they're aware what we're doing," Lieutenant Steve Barbieri of the Spokane County Sheriff's Office said.
Detectives quickly tracked down the man's ex-wife or girlfriend after they learned the victim had recently been awarded custody of their one-year-old child.
"We'll talk to her, see what's going on, see if her story checks out with other information before we label her as a suspect. She's just being interviewed as a person who knows our possible victim," Barbieri added.
The victim lives in or around Cheney and is described as a man in his early thirties. Investigators say he doesn't have a criminal drug history and there are no easy answers for why he was killed.
"We do know the registered owner lives outside the Spokane area and the vehicle's a long way from there, so we're trying to figure out why it's this far out and parked in front of a house up the street," Barbieri said.
Detectives don't think that house has anything to do with this killing because it's vacant. They do feel that someone was trying to get the body to a much more remote area and something kept them from going any further.

A Big Ol' Knife
This is a HUGE knife. Although its got a bunch of neat-o stuff in it, I'm a bit unsure about it. Its typical Victorinox quality (which happens to be fantastic), and has tons of little ingenious things about it. When I first got it, I thought "When the heck am I ever going to use this little thingy," but as it turns out, I've used every tool in bunch, and been thankful I had it. The pen is handy, the straight pin is good for splinters, hook for tying knots with cold fingers, chisel for carving, reamer/leather sewing thingy for punching holes into just about anything including sheet metal (incidentally, I've never used it for sewing), and the list goes on and on. But the only issue about these are the pliers. Yeah, sure, they are useful and all, but they just aren't heavy duty enough to do any real around the house/shop work, and they make the knife so stinking big. Although they are GREAT for pulling hooks out of a fish, they just don't cut it compared to a Leatherman.
If you want a do everything tool, this is a good knife. I had mine for ten or fifteen years, and it was always handy and I loved it. However, when I lost it, I ended up getting a Champion Plus which is nearly the same but without the pliers. And although it doesn't have the pliers, I actually love it much much more. It fits in my hand better, it fits my pockets better, and it fits my pack better. And the pliers? Well, I don't really miss them much.
Like I said, if you need pliers, go with a Leatherman. If you don't need pliers, go with the Champion Plus (its also 1/3 the price!). If you want it all, then this is the closest thing you'll get, but you just won't get it all with this one.

- Sichuan Opera cultural performance with tea in Chengdu
- Take a seat at Shufeng Yayun Teahouse for a delightful show
- Be entertained by Sichuan performing arts using stick puppets, face masks, folk music, acrobatics and dance
- Enjoy complimentary tea service and upgrade to include snacks
- Choose from four seating options including VIP access to a Chinese massage, ear grooming or photo session in costume!
What You Can Expect
When it's time to take your seat, turn your attention to a lively 1.5-hour show that fuses acting, acrobatics, puppetry, folk music and dancing. The Sichuan Opera derives its subject matter from Chinese classical novels, legends and folk tales. Several distinct acts — Changing Faces, Spitting Fire and Rolling Light — feature dazzling sets and costumes that celebrate Southwestern China's performing and fine arts.
During Changing Faces, perhaps the most popular routine, the actors quickly switch between different masks to portray characters' personalities as the drama develops. Spitting Fire is a literal act that's distinctive of Sichuan Opera; it's also a performance that elicits oohs and ahhs from the crowd. Rolling Light involves a performer acting out a variety of routines like jumping over a bench or dancing with a fan, all the while balancing a bowl lit with fire on his head!
When you arrive at the theater, choose one of three options: a massage, ear grooming or photo opportunity in opera makeup and costume.
Customer Reviews

We did the option to be made up like the cast, it was great, unbelievable pictures.
Show was entertaining and extremely enjoyable
December 2014
The opera was very interesting. For VIP, I showed up an hour early to have the costume and makeup done, which was a lot of fun! They offer photo services at an additional fee, and help you pose in traditional dance movements. The opera was a variety hour of different chinese performance acts

Sugar Stems prove goodwill through music
Betsy Heibler, the frontwoman for Sugar Stems, wants to be abundantly clear that no earthworms were harmed in the photo shoot for the local band's latest album cover.

Riverwest is just one exceedingly cool neighborhood, but never as much as during the Riverwest 24, an around-the-clock, full-day bike ride.

It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.
Described as an "exercise in stamina, teamwork and merriment," the Riverwest 24, or RW24 for short, starts at 7 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 p.m. Saturday. »Read Full Article
Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

We have just purchased LO's big boy bed! It will be delivered sometime next week. I really wanted to keep him in the crib for as long as I could, since he was comfortable in it and has never tried to climb out of it. But, the new baby is coming, and we need to get the nursery ready. :/
Anyways, any advice for those of you who've already transitioned LO's to the big bed? We've gone with a twin bed without the box spring at first. (We bought the "bunky board" or whatever it's called that acts as the box spring, in order to keep the bed low.) We will also be putting on the toddler rails.
Do they try to get out right away? What should I do for the transition?

The Patriot Grapplers got their first true test of the season on Jan. 14 when they hosted Campbellsville University. The Tigers came into the match ranked fourth in the latest coaches' poll.
The Patriots won two weight classes against the Tigers, both by pin. In the 197 division, B.J. Carman, a former Mat Hawk, scored a pin over Evan Decker just 18 seconds into the opening period.
Mallory Williams knew this season would be quite different from the previous two years, when she was a key reserve on a LaRue County team which advanced to the 5th Region Tournament final in back-to-back years for the first time in school history.
GREENSBURG — The LaRue County Hawks almost pulled off an incredible comeback Friday night, but instead they experienced tremendous heartbreak.
After trailing by 16 less than 4 minutes in, the Hawks trimmed the deficit to 30-28 at halftime and took their first lead in the third quarter. They battled back from a five-point deficit with 1:24 left to take a 67-66 lead with 9.5 seconds remaining.
The Lady Hawks dropped a district game Feb. 6 to Green County.
The Lady Dragons, undefeated in 18th District play, made seven of their first 14 3-pointers to build a 44-29 halftime lead and then held on for the 75-62 victory.
Green County wrapped up district play with a perfect 6-0 record to earn the top seed. The Lady Dragons will face fourth-seeded Hart County in the district tournament semifinals.
BULLITT CENTRAL 55, LARUE COUNTY 42. The homestanding Hawks (11-9) were held to 31.8 percent from the field as they lost their third straight and for the fourth time in five games.
Senior forward Caleb Sheffer led LaRue County with 18 points and 10 rebounds, while freshman guard Kane Harris added eight points and four assists.
Sophomore guard Cameron Dawson chipped in with seven points and six rebounds for the Hawks, who were 0-for-11 from the 3-point arc and 14-of-44 overall.

Thomas Hoppes placed third overall advancing to the KSWA State Tournament which will be Saturday in Mount Sterling.
Tucker Shelton will be an alternate to the state tournament.
Other Mat Hawks competing were Chase Baker and Thomas Boone.
The visiting Lady Hawks (8-13, 2-3 18th District) were blown out for the second time this season by the Lady Colonels, losing 65-34.

Since resigning from LaRue County following the 2006 season, Jamie Hardin has never been far from the sport of track & field.
She became an official with the KHSAA and U.S. Track & Field and could often be found in the press box as a HY-TEK operator scoring meets.
Soon, though, Hardin wondered if getting back into coaching could happen.
An opportunity arose earlier this month at LaRue County. Laura Kudrna stepped down as girls' track coach in July, and the school needed to find someone before this season begins.
By all accounts, including his own, Charlie Roarx probably should have quit wrestling when he was a freshman.
But the LaRue County senior heavyweight, who's affectionately known as the "Roanoke Special" by teammates and coaches alike, couldn't stay away.
His injuries have ranged from breaking his neck as a freshman, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee as a junior and hurting the lateral collateral ligament in the same knee as a senior.
