KNBR-AM in San Francisco has dropped Scott Ferrall's syndicated sports-talk show after Ferrall "ripped station program director Bob Agnew on the air." KNBR will replace Ferrall with ESPN's Fabulous Sports Babe. Agnew, who had originally signed Ferrall's show, said they "were growing a little unhappy with the content and quality. The Babe seriously upgrades our quality" (Victor Chi, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 1/11). Ferrall attacked Agnew after hearing his show would be moved to a 1-4am slot, saying: "I will dedicate my life to ruining that little wuss." C.W. Nevius writes that Ferrall has "moved further and further away from sports, where he has some real knowledge, and more into heavy metal music and long odd bits" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 1/11). MORE MOVES: Dick Stockton will not return as play-by-play announcer for the A's in '96, according to Nevius. Stockton's first-class travel was reportedly "too expensive for KRON and aside from a recognizable 'network voice,' the station wasn't getting much back" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 1/11).... In Baltimore, departed Oriole pitching coach Mike Flanagan will become lead analyst on HTS next season, working 112 of 151 O's games. Jim Palmer will do 50 games, up from 30 last season. Flanagan replaces 12-year HTS analyst John Lowenstein (Milton Kent, Baltimore SUN, 1/8)....In Detroit, in an effort to boost ratings, all-sports WDFN-AM "fired" morning personalities Keith Gave and Butch Stearns and evening host Ike Griffith. Pete Rose's syndicated talk show will air in Griffith's place. The station reportedly "trimmed" $250,000 in salaries (Ted Kulfan, DETROIT NEWS, 1/10)....The Fabulous Sports Babe is the feature of a lengthy profile in this morning's BOSTON GLOBE. Nathan Cobb examines Nancy Donnellan's life and finds that although she claims she is 40 years old, her MA birth certificate and FL drivers license say she is 47 (BOSTON GLOBE, 1/11).

Nunberg Attorney-W. Saxton Seward ABSTRACT: A disposable absorbent underpad for hospital patients, or similar product, in which a powdered chemical absorbent such as hydrous calcium silicate is deposited in retentive relation to a sheet or sheets of cotton linters or the like, the combination sheet or sheets and powder being preferably faced upwardly with a permeable sheet of non-wetting material such as spun-bonded polyester and backed with a liquid impervious sheet of polyethylene or the like extending across the entire bottom surface and folded over the edges of the underpad.

willf FIG.3
Vincent LVAiHZnCoUHZ Thomas ThbckstOn Donald RtRoberf m tmat ATTORNEYS INVENTORS DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT UNDERPAD OR THE LIKE Underpads currently available are commonly formed of a 0.5 to 1.0 mil film of polyethylene as a water-proof backing, absorbent wadding or loose pulp generally of a cellulosic nature and a cover sheet of soft, wet-strength, non-woven material. Such a pad in the common sizes of 17%" x 24" or 36" x 24" can absorb 25 to 50 ml. of water and will remain entirely wet and soggy to the touch. The presence of such a wet pad is very detrimental to the patient, causing diaper rash or other skin irritations unless the pads are changed often and offering no protection or comfort to the patient. In many cases liquid runs off the pads onto the bed sheets. In practice several such pads may be used at a time, with frequent changes, increasing the expense and taking up nursing time.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a disposable bedpad or the like having an absorption layer of wet-strength paper which immobilizes urine (or other liquid) and offers the patient a relatively drier surface on which to lie, thereby decreasing his chances of developing bedsores, secondary bacterial infection, and any other skin irritation associated with skin and urine contact for extended periods of time.
A previous attempt was made (as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,344,789) to immobilize urine using hydrous calcium silicate. Such attempts have been shown to be inadequate. For example, when the powder is packaged in packets it creates a very lumpy and uncomfortable pad and is extremely difficult to dispose of, and at the same time is extremely costly.
It has now been found that the filling of a paperboard sheet on conventional paper-forming equipment such as a fourdrinier, with hydrous calcium silicate provides a product which is softer, more comfortable, immobilizes more liquid, and is easier to dispose of, as well as being easier to manufacture. It has been found that certain grades (the absorbent ones) of cotton linter pulp provide a better finish in combination with a hydrous calcium silicate along with commercially available retention aids for helping to retain the powder in the sheet. Using this technology, paperboard can be filled with the hydrous calcium silicate in quantities of up to 70 percent by weight. Laboratory hand sheets indicate that the quantity may be as high as 80 percent although at this high percent the product is fragile. In theory the greater the loading of absorbent powder, the more absorbent the resultant product will be per given basis weight and obviously the more economical the product is on a cost performance basis.
It has been found that the amount of liquid immobilized is a factor of three parameters, (1) Amount of powder, (2) Type of pulp, (3) Density of the sheet. Laboratory experiments show that products made using the same pulp, the same quantity of powder (based on a standard TAPPI ash test) but having different densities, do in fact, immobilize different quantities of urine (any liquid). The less dense the sheet the more liquid the sheet will immobilize.
The cotton linter pulp offers the advantage of being able to disperse the fluid from the point of contact to the outer fringes of the pad, thereby utilizing a greater percentage of surface than other products now available.
If a pad is designed to hold 330 ml of liquid, it has been found when up to 80 percent of this amount is put on the product its surface will become dry to the touch within lk to 5 minutes. If only percent or 20 percent of the theoretical limit is utilized the surface will dry in 30 seconds or less. When an amount of fluid less than the designed limit of the sheet is immobilized, the sheet (or bedpad) can be held up or squeezed and no liquid will drip from it; this drastic demonstration of fluid retention and patient protection cannot be ps tq msqx j a t sm sa abls prq t a l A modified form of absorbent product is made by hydroforming, using conventional paper technology, two layers of paperboard which ideally should be cotton linter stock but may be other materials such as alpha cellulose, wood pulp, etc. Between the two layers is sandwiched hydrous calcium silicate which may be deposited in line on the first formed layer product. In this fashion the hydrous calcium silicate is trapped between the two layers. This product will also behave quite similarly to the previous one mentioned above which may be referred to as a Matrix powder paper product. One advantage of this modified product is in those applications where the edges are confined and large immobilizing capacities required; the two outer layers, one on either side, can be relatively thin with a heavy layer or core of hydrous calcium silicate. In a modification of this particular composition, the bottom layer may be of a water-proof barrier material such as polyethylene.
Additionally, a non-wetting material such as spunbonded polyester may be provided to serve as the cover layer for either of the two products, that is, the Matrix powder paper, or the composite sheet product previously mentioned. When using this type product one commercially available material of this type is Remay (a product of the DuPont Company). It has been found that two significant advantages accrue from the use of such a material. The first is that, for a given amount of fluid poured onto the surface of the product with the Remay surface layer or like product, the time required to achieve a dry surface, that is dry to the touch or skin, is appreciably reduced. Reductions of time in excess of 50 percent have been experienced. The second significant advantage is that it has been found that the immobilizing capacity of the underlayer, that is, the Matrix powder paper product or composite sheet, is increased. This is apparently due to the fact that the layers of the Matrix powder paper product which are at the surface or immediately adjacent to the surface can be utilized to immobilize liquid without experiencing a surface wet to the touch or skin. Evidence appears to indicate that at least 10 percent additional capacity per given sheet can be expected.
The pads according to the present invention can immobilize from 25 to 500 ml. of liquid while remaining relatively dry to the touch. As a result, there is effected reduction in number of pads used, number of changes, hospital inventory, patient discomfort and irritation, number of sheets soiled, and need for nursing attention.
A practical embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 represents a plan view of one comer of the underpad, parts being broken away;
FIG. 2 represents a section on the line IIII of FIG. 1, the thickness of the layers being exaggerated for purposes of illustration;
FIG. 3 represents a similar section showing a duplication of the absorbent layers; and
FIG. 4 represents a similar section of a modified form of underpad.
The underpad is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as comprising a combined distribution and absorption layer 1 made of 100 percent cotton linter pulp, and a quantity of hydrous calcium silicate (commercially available, for instance, under the trademark Micro-Cel-E, Johns-Mansville Sales Corp., which is capable of immobilizing up to 560 percent of its weight of liquid while remaining a dry powder) included in the pulp to form a homogeneous sheet of any desired thickness, resembling blotting paper. The precent (by weight) of powder in a sheet can vary widely, depending on the desired end use, but the maximum is about percent for practical purposes. The powder is added to the pulp according to methods which are conventional in paper making. Cotton linters have excellent wicking properties and assure immediate distribution of the liquid to the included powder.
The cover layer 2 is a non-woven porous material having non-wetting properties and capable of transmitting liquid rapidly while retaining its wet strength. Spunbonded polyester gives excellent results and other non-woven fabrics produced by conventional methods are satisfactory.
The backing layer 3 is a liquid-proof barrier between the absorbent layer 1 and the support (e.g. bed) on which it rests, being conveniently constituted by a sheet of 0.5 mil to 1.0 mil polyethylene, turned up around the marginal edges of the layers 1 and 2 and overlying the peripheral portions thereof as indicated at 4 where the three layers are sealed together. The backing layer may be turned up and sealed around all four sides of a rectangular pad, as indicated in FIG. 1, or may be left unsealed across the shorter ends.
If greater capacity is desired than that provided by a single distribution and absorption layer, this element may be duplicated or multiplied, FIG. 3 showing a section of a pad having two such layers 5, 6 covered by a non-woven porous sheet 7, as described above, and backed by a liquid impervious sheet 8, also as previously described.
Each layer 1, 5 or 6 may suitably have an uncompressed thickness in the range of 0.25-2.5 mm, which provides adequate flexibility as well as absorption capacity. A plurality of such layers, where needed, are naturally more flexible than a single layer of equal thickness.
In the modified form of FIG. 4, a layer of hydrous calcium silicate 9 is shown as being sandwiched between upper and lower layers 10, 11 of paperboard which is preferably cotton linter stock but may be alpha cellulose, wood pulp or the like. The layers 9, l and 11 are shown as being backed by a sheet or film of impermeable material 12, as in the case of FIGS. 1 to 3, this sheet being folded around the edges, as indicated at 13 in order to enclose completely the layer of absorbent material, thus forming, in effect, a single large packet of powder, the displacement of which is inhibited by association with the adjacent surface or surfaces of distribution material. A cover sheet 14, corresponding to the sheet 2, may be provided if desired. Variations of the form shown in FIG. 4, which can be understood without specific illustration, include increasing the thickness of the absorbent layer 9 relative to layers 10 and/or 11 for greater liquid immobilizing capacity, and omitting the layer 11 (the layer 9 being deposited directly on the sheet 12).
If the upper surface of the sheets 1, and is of a suitable character (e.g., smooth and/or soft enough to be comfortable) the cover sheet 2, 7 or 14 may be omitted, the wicking action of the distribution material being relied on to remove liquid rapidly from the upper surface and conduct it to the immobilizing material.
The materials described above appear to be applicable not only to use as hospital underpads, but also in appropriate sizes and shapes-as sanitary napkins, nursing cups, diapers, wound dressings and other applications not necessarily limited to the medical field.

1. An absorbent article for absorbing liquid wastes comprising a body layer containing a substantially uniformly distributed powdered chemical absorbent characterized by the ability to immobilize without becoming wet at least 400 percent of its weight of liquid a porous cover sheet extending over one surface of said layer and a liquid impermeable backing sheet extending over another surface of said body.

During a wi-fi dump, wiping yourself on the toilet while simultaneously balancing a laptop on a knee or other extended body part. Placing a laptop on the floor immediately disqualifies the wipe from "wi-fi" status. It has been rumored that some may even posses enough skill to hold an internet conversation during the wiping process.
I am still typing with one hand while the other is taking care of this wi-fi wipe.

If you are into rose gardens, this is a nice one. Can be viewed from Southern Ave. Dobson Ranch has a small nice rose garden if you continue in your car and head west then turn left/south on Dobson Rd. it is on your right as you pass Baseline. See them both in one swoop. Parking is another story for...
We missed the roses by about one week, We could only imagine what this large garden looked like! The garden contains a nice tribute to our military.
There is some shade from trees. There is little else to see besides the roses. Just to be 100 characters.......
Was a beautiful place to visit and smell the roses! if I lived there I would want to be a volunteer to keep them deadheaded.
Very peaceful place to sit. I love the quiet atmosphere in the midst of a busy city center. I was drawn to the place because of a Geocache, but stayed a while to enjoy the silence. I understand that this is a popular wedding venue. Appropriate.
This is a beautiful garden. A great place to get ideas for your own plantings. The garden is very well maintained by volunteers.
I liked how beautiful all the roses are and how great they smell. Wendy does a great job taking care of the roses for the College. She is the most knowledgeable horticulturist in the valley. Great job.
It's a nice place to walk around or take some pictures; the only thing I disagree with, is where MCC let everything dry and put a new garden where the other one was.
Even though I was in the area just for geo-caching, I took some time to smell the roses. So many different varieties i never even knew existed. It was an enjoyable and educational stroll.
We love visiting the Rose Garden....there's something for everyone to enjoy. We visit here every Easter and Mother's Day. HOWEVER...beware of spiders. Last time we were there my 7 year old was bit twice on the arm and required ER care to treat the bites.

SWOT Analysis: PNoy's Last SONA
The play of words in lines like "May pumapasok nang madilim pa, at may umuuwing madilim na—pero lahat sila, naiiwan sa dilim dahil hindi sapat ang oras ng pag-aaral" (Some went to school when it was still dark, others went home when it was already dark, but everyone was in the dark…) gave it rhythm.
His claims are supported by figures and percentages: dividends from GOCCs, revenues generated by BIR, budget reform, global competitiveness and economic growth, investment-grade credit rating, net foreign investments, domestic investments, growth of the manufacturing sector, lowest unemployment in a decade, better opportunities so OFWs can return to the Philippines, improved labor relations, support for education, wider heath coverage, etc. Admittedly numbers are not thrilling and many listeners may have tuned out, but how else do you illustrate improvement? Besides, we will know that we have matured as a nation when our politics becomes boring. Perhaps aware that reciting numbers makes listeners sleepy, he closed out the math section by quoting Aiza Seguerra: "I thank you, bow." Later he provided a helpful summary for listeners who had just woken up.
Aquino absolves Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya for the atrocious state of the MRT, heaping the blame on the private corporation maintaining it. "Di po ba miski sinong kumpanya, dapat sinisigurong masusulit ang kanilang investment? Pero hinayaan lang nilang lumala nang lumala ang situwasyon hanggang umabot sa puntong ipinasa na sa atin nang ora-orada ang pagsasaayos ng MRT." (Whatever the company, shouldn't they be ensuring a return on their investment? But they let the situation get worse and worse…) Why are you complaining to us about how your private partner runs the MRT? You're the government! The MRT is a public utility!
Aquino points out that politicians exploit the forgiving nature of Filipinos (which we ascribe to very poor memory and a refusal to do anything that might cause other people to dislike them), chanting "Kawawa naman kami" (Poor pitiful us) all the way back to power. This is the closest he got to criticizing his "bosses". "May naalala ba kayong nagsabing, 'Sorry sa pagnanakaw at pang-aabuso, handa na akong magbago?'" (Do you recall anyone saying, 'Sorry for the theft and abuse of power, I am ready to change?'")
In detailing efforts to upgrade the Armed Forces (the Air Force now has actual planes) and the National Police, he cited these statistics: In Metro Manila, from January to June 2014, there were 37 murders and homicides every week. The number is now down to 23 murders and homicides. There were 919 cases of robbery, theft and carjacking every week, but they're down to 444 cases a week. What! That many?! The stats may be down, but it still sounds like a crime wave.

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi steps down as EU Council president Wednesday. He is likely to be remembered longer than his predecessors: Not for scarce political successes but rather his flamboyant personality.
Unlikely to achieve EU sainthood: Silvio Berlusconi
European Union officials had mixed feelings last July when Berlusconi took over the EU Council presidency, an agenda setting role that rotates among member states every six months. As a multi-billionaire media mogul, Berlusconi controls most of Italy's television and has frequently been known to push for legislation to serve his personal needs.
While managing to evade charges of forging balance sheets, illegal campaign financing, tax fraud and bribing, he called Italian judges "red robes" and accused them of planning to overthrow his government.
A Nazi comparison for starters
Berlusconi talks before the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
"Mr. Schulz, I know there is in Italy a man producing a film on the Nazi concentration camps," he said. "I'd like to suggest you for the role of guard. You'd be perfect."
The two men later exchanged apologies, but it was difficult navigation for the Italian presidency from then on. For one, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder was annoyed at Berlusconi and lost no opportunity to make his thoughts known.
"In both content and form this (Nazi) comparison is a derailment," he said in Germany's parliament, the Bundestag, and demanded an apology from his Italian counterpart.
Soon thereafter, Italy's tourism minister insulted German holidaymakers in Italy and Schröder responded by cancelling his own Tuscan holiday, boosting his popularity ratings at home.
Failing to broker a new EU constitution
In terms of his work at the helm of the EU, Berlusconi's presidency was overshadowed by the failure to negotiate an EU constitution. Many delegations in Brussels said that Berlusconi's chaotic management during the talks contributed considerably to the summit's falling apart.
Berlusconi on the other hand didn't consider the summit a complete failure.
"We have actually reached agreement on 82 contentious points where it seemed almost ruled out," he said. "So in that sense the conference did have a positive outcome." Diplomats who took part in the negotiations dispute this.
A glorious presidency?
Right after the summit, the Italian president declared his presidency to have been one of the most glorious of recent years.
EU Commission President Roman Prodi, left, and Berlusconi during negotiations for a new EU consititution.
The most important initiative during the last half a year was the economic program called "Quickstart" which is designed to push a number of infrastructure projects costing billions, Prodi said.
Berlusconi lists as a success the establishment of a European border protection agency and the distribution of new European authorities to ten member states. He satisfied a personal wish by fetching the agency for food safety to Parma. His argument was that there are so many good restaurants in the town famous for its seasoned, salt-cured and air-dried hams.
The Italians didn't facilitate progress on another major matter: EU member states still can't agree on a structured immigration and refugee policy. Despite his earlier confrontation with Berlusconi, Germany's Martin Schulz stirred things up again in July when he had accused the Italian of preventing the introduction of a Europe-wide arrest warrant out of his own interest. And now, six months later, nothing had happened yet on that.
"Regretfully, I have to say that you not only didn't do your homework, but you've failed totally," Schulz said.
That time Berlusconi said nothing.
In a highly defensive appearance before the European Parliament on Wednesday, Italy's prime minister alienated many with his Nazi jokes. But he did lay out a solid plan for his country's leadership of the EU. (July 4, 2003)
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has sparked new controversy with comments portraying former fascist dictator Mussolini as a benign leader. (Sept. 12, 2003)
Latvians have protested government plans to accept 250 applicants for asylum over the next two years. More than 2,000 migrants have died crossing the Mediterranean between Africa and Europe this year.
The premier of the eastern German state of Saxony has announced plans to set up a special camp for refugees with little chance of being granted asylum. This comes as Germany grapples with a mounting wave of migrants.
NATO said on Tuesday that beginning in September it would be reducing the amount of air patrols in its Baltic mission, used to deter Russian aggression against NATO members Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
The symbol of Germany's capital was visited by some 60 million people. No one could have predicted such a success story for the Fernsehturm when its construction began on August 4, 1965, at Alexanderplatz.

* MSCI Asia ex-Japan down after recent rally
* Nikkei highest since Jan 2008 as yen hits 4-yr low vs dlr
* Japan investors buying foreign bonds last two weeks
* U.S. attracting funds on brightening growth prospects
* European shares seen inching higher
By Chikako Mogi
TOKYO, May 10 (Reuters) - Japanese equities soared to 5-1/2-year highs on Friday, with the dollar sailing past the symbolic 100 yen level and beefing up the outlook for Corporate Japan, but shares elsewhere in Asia retreated as global equities paused overnight from recent rallies.
European stock markets will likely inch higher after the pan-European FTSEurofirst closed flat overnight to stay near five-year highs. Financial spreadbetters predicted London's FTSE 100, Paris's CAC-40 and Frankfurt's DAX would open up as much as 0.2 percent.
U.S. stock futures were up 0.1 percent, suggesting a slightly firmer Wall Street open after U.S. stocks slipped from record highs on Thursday.
The U.S. currency was buoyed after Thursday's weekly U.S. data showed initial jobless claims fell to the lowest level in more than five years, following last week's much stronger-than-expected monthly nonfarm payrolls report for April.
"What you need to understand about what is going on in the United States is that we're growing, this recovery is real. There may be some bumps, but the fundamental push forward is there," said Carl Larry, president of the Houston-based Oil Outlook and Opinions.
The yen's resumed downtrend bodes well for Japanese exporters and expectations of robust earnings drove the Nikkei stock average up 3 percent to its highest since January 2008.
The index is up 6.4 percent, on track for its biggest weekly gain since December 2009 when it jumped 10.4 percent.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan shed 0.9 percent, after climbing to its highest since July 2011 on Thursday. For the week, the index is set for a gain of 0.8 percent.
A strong dollar dented appetite for safe-haven U.S. Treasuries, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield up to a 1-month high around 1.844 percent in Asia, while rallying Japanese stocks lifted 10-year Japanese government bond yields up 10 basis points to 0.690 percent, their highest since late February.
"It's global buying of the U.S., with more investors feeling comfortable buying the dollar. U.S. stocks are stabilising four years after the Lehman collapse. It's a good sign for markets when funds target the U.S., where investors are willing to take on risk," said Goro Ohwada, president and CEO at Japan-based fund of hedge funds Aino Investment Corp.
Signs of a steady U.S. recovery could heighten speculation over when the Federal Reserve will begin scaling back its aggressive quantitative easing to push up U.S. yields, attracting funds from lower-yielding countries such as Japan.
Capital flows data showed Japanese investors were net buyers of foreign bonds in the last two weeks, reversing their relentless net selling since late January. They repatriated a total of 9.33 trillion yen in January-April.
The dollar extended Thursday's gains to hit a fresh four-year high of 101.20 yen, having stalled for a month after reaching a high of 99.95 yen in early April. The euro rose to 131.91 yen, its highest since January 2010.
"The market is returning to where it should be, to buying the dollar. Failed attempts to break the 100 yen had lightened positions and cleared the way for such a move," said Hiroshi Maeba, head of FX trading Japan for UBS in Tokyo.
Maeba added that the dollar may see a near-term correction to the downside, but the 99 yen level will now signal a buying opportunity and markets may test 102-103 yen in coming weeks.
The currency moves had diverging impacts on Asian shares.
Australian shares erased most of their early gains after hitting a fresh five-year high earlier, as strong gains in the banking sector and companies with a strong exposure to the U.S. market rallied on the back of the dollar's gain against the yen.
The Australian dollar hit a 10-month low of $1.0046 overnight.
But the yen's decline hurt South Korean shares, which slid 1.6 percent on concerns that a weaker yen would curb exporters competitiveness against their Japanese counterparts, although the dollar's rise pushed the South Korean won sharply down to a one-week low.
Chinese shares were subdued, with growth-sensitive sectors outperforming despite China's patchy economic recovery. Hong Kong shares fell 0.2 percent while Shanghai inched up 0.1 percent.
A firm dollar capped prices of dollar-based commodities.
London copper eased 0.4 percent to $7,321.75 a tonne while gold futures lost as much as 1.2 percent to a low of $1,451.6 an ounce.
Spot gold edged up 0.1 percent to $1,459.16 an ounce, but was on track for its first weekly fall in three weeks. The first increase since mid-March in SPDR Gold Trust's exchange-traded holdings offered a glimmer of hope for the metal.
"If you look at total gold holdings, not only SPDR, they are still coming down. I won't be so quick to say that sentiment is changing," said Joyce Liu, an investment analyst at Phillip Futures in Singapore.
U.S. crude futures fell 0.6 percent to $95.80 a barrel and Brent eased 0.5 percent to $103.95.

Summer Adventures in the BC Wilderness
- Hiking in the high alpine. In July we use 4x4s for access. In August we use helicopters.
- A day's rafting trip on a blue-green wilderness river.
- A day out on a remote BC lake.
- First rate cuisine and your own cabin by a secluded wilderness river.
- A scenic day's drive from Calgary, Vancouver or Banff.
Into the High Country
During July and August we offer our guests four-night holidays that are designed to give a taste of the best of the British Columbian wilderness.
On at least one of the days we will head into the high alpine.
In July we use our 4x4s for the ascents and then hike the ridge lines taking in the spectacular views.
In August we use a helicopter to transport you to untouched mountain passes and high alpine meadows.
We have teamed up with experienced local helicopter pilots and this allows us to take you to awe-inspiring terrain where even the local alpinists have never been.
There is plenty of scope for hikers of different abilities.
Rafting down a blue-green river
On another day we will take you rafting down the wilderness river that runs right past the ranch.
This river is one of the most remote and beautiful in British Columbia.
We put in several miles north of the ranch.
Parts of the river are quiet and meandering but there are also sections of rapids which we can run with the more intrepid.
A day on a deserted lake
On one of the days during your summer stay we will head out onto a local lake in one of our Zodiac powerboats.
This gives us a chance to take in the scenery or swim from deserted beaches.
We have a choice of lakes within half an hour's easy drive of the ranch.
A typical day
A typical day will see you waking up in your own cabin to the sound of the fast-flowing river.
We offer early morning tea and coffee in your cabin and then breakfast in the lodge.
After breakfast we head out for the day, returning to the ranch in the late afternoon.
Lunch is a picnic of home-made sandwiches, fruit and cookies that we take along on our day tour.
Dinner may be a sit-down affair where we serve fine freshly-cooked local food and the best of British Columbia's beer and wine in the main house.
Or, if the weather is sunny, we may barbeque and eat by the river.
Your summer holiday
Your summer holiday with us will include:
- A day-hike into the high alpine.
- A day's rafting trip down our beautiful wilderness river.
- A day out on one of our lakes in our Zodiac powerboat.
- Meals in the main lodge with occasional barbeques by the river.
Pricing & Availability
A four-night wilderness holiday in July starts at C$1,195 per person. A four-night wilderness holiday in August (which includes a day of heli-hiking) begins at C$1,795 per person. This price includes all meals, accommodation and guided tours, and is based on double occupancy. We offer a discount for families and groups of four or more.
Quite simply, this has been the best holiday our family has ever had. Every aspect of our stay in this little piece of eco-heaven deserves genuine praise in the superlative. We have never felt moved to write a review about a holiday before, but this one was so outstanding, that it just had to be recognised. With our two teenage daughters, we spent six idyllic days kayaking on and swimming in crystal clear lakes, hiking both in high alpine meadows and over glaciers, working as a team to negotiate the aptly named "Rapido del Muerto" in a thrilling rafting trip and experiencing some truly amazing wildlife viewing. We saw five bears in one day, as well as bald eagles, osprey, turtles, mule deers and coyotes. We ate thimbleberries, walked inside 1000 year old cedars and were introduced to wild and whacky flora and fauna such as the "indian paintbrush" flower, "hippy on a stick"and "old man's beard"." Jim & Lizzie, UK.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he didn't discuss the effort to legalize gay marriage during his private conversations with President Barack Obama, and doesn't intend to push the issue.
Cuomo is a hero to the movement for his personal drive to get same-sex marriage legislation through New York's legislature a year ago.
But he says the topic didn't come up when he and Obama met at an event Tuesday in Albany.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
Obama supports equal rights for gay couples, but hasn't endorsed same-sex marriage. Vice President Joe Biden and Obama's education secretary recently said they support gay marriage rights.
Cuomo says Wednesday he wouldn't presume to advise Obama on the issue, but legalization in New York speaks loudly for the cause.

Full detailed profile on Tracy Quartermaine Played by Jane Elliot on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Jane Elliot (ABC)
Birthday: January 17, 1947
Sam wakes up next to Patrick in the hotel room. She's been dreaming of them making love. Patrick wakes and asks, "Bad dream?" She reassures him. Patrick remarks that they made it through the night without anything happening. He gets up and talks about contacting Tracy. Sam is still rattled. Later, Tracy knocks and asks what they've been doing. She checks out their disheveled state and thinks she gets the picture. They insist nothing happened. Patrick asks if Tracy heard from Luke yet. Tracy says she's meeting him. They debate about her getting alone time with him. Sam and Patrick agree. After, Patrick worries Luke will break Tracy's heart. Sam flashes to her Patrick fantasy again. Silas calls her. "I think you may have been right about Nina."
In Amsterdam, Sam and Patrick knock on a hotel door and Tracy opens it. They bicker as Tracy insists she could handle this on her own. Sam says this is serious to Patrick, they need to be there when this goes down. Tracy wants to put this whole crime boss business to rest. Patrick questions if she would cover for him. Tracy says if he's guilty, she'll tell them because it would affect her too. Sam wonders if Luke will tell her the truth. Tracy will know if he's lying. Patrick warns if she doesn't get answers, he will. After, Sam and Patrick learn they're booked into the same room and there are no others available. Sam goes to Tracy, who won't let her bunk in because it might interfere with their plan if Luke shows up. Sam returns to Patrick, who offers to go elsewhere. She says they can share.
Sam and Patrick drop by Lulu's to tell her of their suspicions regarding Luke. Tracy and Dante's eyes dart around. The doctor and Sam explain what Spencer told them. Lulu suspects some 'truth embroidering' so Sam adds that they think Julian was meeting with Luke. Lulu confirms they were and so does Tracy. Dante tips them off that an undercover agent thought they heard Luke's voice on a call. Luke sends Tracy a text from Amsterdam, asking to meet. Patrick declares that they are going.
At Dante and Lulu's house they talk about Julian and Luke with Tracy, who calls Luke the patron saint of broken promises. They recall Luke buying a painting from the Jerome gallery. Dante talks about making a case for Luke being a crime boss. Lulu says it wouldn't be the first time. Tracy can't believe it. Dante presses Tracy to help them get in contact with Luke to get to the bottom of this. Tracy isn't comfortable, but she calls Luke and asks to meet in person. Dante and Lulu thank her.
Sam and Patrick arrive at Dante and Lulu's house to talk, but don't want Tracy there.
Dante and Lulu lounge around in their bed. They make out and she realizes she needs to call her mom. When he heads off for a shower, Tracy shows up and hugs Lulu. She fills Lulu in on how she and Luke were planning to take back ELQ... but she hasn't heard from him for awhile. Lulu guesses something must be wrong. Dante eavesdrops as Tracy admits she has no idea where her husband is. "It's as if he's become a complete stranger," she says. Dante decides to interrupt and says that Anna had him investigating Luke and why. Tracy admits she's seen Luke with Julian.
Tracy visits Michael at his apartment and asks what he knows about the search for Lulu. Michael insists he and Sonny know nothing and wonder if Luke has a lead. Tracy is pretty sure Luke isn't looking for Lulu but knows he will be devastated if something happens to her. Michael can see how worried she is and promises to call her with any news.
At The Floating Rib, Olivia and Ned discuss Coleman's arrest. Tracy arrives and starts slinging insults at Ned and his "Bensonhurst Bimbo." Ned interrupts and tells her about the kidnapping. Olivia leaves to call Sonny and Tracy downs a drink. She loves Lulu like a daughter but can't get in touch with Luke when she calls. Carly and Franco enter and Ned gets them up to speed on the kidnapping. Carly wants to call Sonny but Franco encourages her to let Olivia take care of Sonny. Tracy has another drink and leaves another message for Luke. Ned guesses he has more important issues than his daughter.
Tracy is at home talking to Luke over the internet. She informs him their plan is dead thanks to Alice. He defends his taking an 'extended business trip' but she thinks it's time for him to come home. She doesn't think she can keep fighting on her own. Luke asks her to be patient. Ned bursts in and tells Luke that his plots are over. He slams the laptop shut. Mother and son bicker about the Quartermaine legacy. He insists that Luke is a psycho and lists his flaws. She slaps him when he suggests that Luke is only using her. "We're going to get back ELQ if it's the last thing we do!" she says. He evicts her from the house. She can't believe he would do this so he reminds her of when she did it to him.
At the hospital, Alice wakes up from surgery. Morgan, Ned and Michael disperse to call loved ones and get magazines for Alice, and alone Tracy tells Alice to keep quiet. Alice reminds Tracy she had nothing to do with getting her heart. Michael overhears Tracy ask Alice if she was going to rat her out. Alice thinks Tracy has turned her back on her family and tells Michael that Tracy and Luke are plotting to take back ELQ. Michael fires Tracy. She threatens a wrongful termination lawsuit and he encourages her to go right ahead. Meanwhile, Olivia runs into Ned in the hallway and she's happy to hear about Alice. She thanks him again for helping her out with Sonny by kissing her, but he's officially off the hook. Ned is interested in continuing their friendship. He really enjoys spending time with her and asks her to a movie. She happily agrees. At the nurse's station, Rosalie is frantic looking for Nina and Silas tells her she's been stuck in the elevator. She gives him grief and he reminds her he pays for service, not attitude. If she makes one more comment he's going to fire her, no matter what Nina says. Rosalie runs into Morgan and tells him how mean her boss is but comments she'll be the one with the last laugh in the end. She brushes off further questions and asks Morgan how things are with his dad and ex. Morgan is sure there's nothing romantic between them, and then asks how things are with her dad. Rosalie doesn't want to talk about it and asks him out for a drink instead. He needs to take a rain check. Outside the elevator Franco tells Nina he's going to talk to Carly. She wants to be sure he'll stay quiet about her chair and Silas overhears Franco tell Nina her secret is safe with him. Franco leaves and Silas asks Nina what she's been keeping from him. She tells him she's been skipping PT so she can take art therapy. She's having a hard time getting over losing their baby. She breaks into tears and tells Silas it would drive a lesser woman mad. He's glad she told him and wants to help with counselors. She wants to keep doing art therapy and he agrees. They run into Rosalie and Silas leaves Nina with her. Alone, Nina tells Rosalie that b**** Ava is pregnant again. Back in Alice's room, Ned sees Tracy stomp off.

Is it possible to click on the URL and have it login automatically. If I use the title field
I have three different login's. I thought that the URL would allow login. When I created the URL and did the {USERNAME}&pass{PASSWORD} it opens the URL put has the username and password in plain text in the address field. How do I get it to enter the username in the username field and the password in the password field?
The URL field should typically contain a simple link to the webpage.
How do I get it to enter the username in the username field and the password in the password field?
Place your cursor in the webpage's username field, then execute an auto-type by pressing the global auto-type hot key (default: Ctrl-Alt-A).
In the default configuration, KeePass global auto-type works by checking whether the title of a KeePass entry matches a portion of the browser's window title (the text on webpage's browser tab). If a matching entry exists, KeePass will type that entry's auto-type sequence (i.e. login). The default sequence is {Usename}{TAB}{Password}{Enter}. Important: KeePass does not attempt to find a match with the URL in the browser's address bar.
Custom window title matching & auto-type sequences can be defined on each entry's auto-type tab.
If you prefer automatic form filling, you can install one of the third party form filling plugins available from the Integration & Transfer section of the KeePass plugin page

The 2010 List: 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon
|| Print |
|Articles - March 2010
|Thursday, February 25, 2010
Page 1 of 11
Our annual ranking of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon turns 17 this year with nearly 20,000 employees participating. Oregon Business research editor Brandon Sawyer and research partner Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall calculated the rankings based on confidential employee surveys and a benefits report completed by each company.
Microsoft // No. 1 Large Company
Here's one company where you won't hear the usual gripe about needing new laptops. Employees at Microsoft's sales and customer service branch in Portland are using software so cutting edge it hasn't been released yet. That means these 49 tech-savvy employees work from home whenever they want without customers knowing the difference.
"Microsoft cares much more about quality of work, impact you have and value you bring," says Chris Preston, Northwest sales manager. "Where you do that work is not important."
Letting employees work in their PJs shows the faith Microsoft has in its workforce. Employees have autonomy (and accountability) in dealing with clients, who happen to be some of the biggest firms in town. The lofty clientele means employees have "an outsized impact," Preston says. One worker writes, "I get the chance every day to change the world for the better."
Microsoft treats its employees like royalty. Benefits are excellent (employees can call a doctor at any hour for a phone consultation or home visit to avoid the emergency room) and Microsoft pays employees for volunteer work of their choice and matches their charitable donations, up to $12,000 a year each.
