You all rock my socks! I mean, really! This whole giveaway celebration was in honor of hitting 200 followers and would you believe that at last look, I had 259?!
That's almost 60 new followers in two weeks time! Plus, I went from 80 fans on Facebook to 126 just since last Friday. I tell ya what, I feel like the cool kid in school…{which I, um, wasn't}.
I'm sure that the super-bloggers out there are used to getting hundreds of new followers a day, but for little me, this is a huge deal. When I started this whole thing six months ago, I was just hoping that maybe a handful of people besides my mom, my mother-in-law, and my real life friends would actually find my little blog and be inspired by something they saw here. It blesses me more than you can know that you all are here and following along for the journey. I hope you continue to enjoy what you see at One Artsy Mama, that you always feel welcome, and that you walk away inspired.
Ok, now that I got that out of my system….back to crafting…

Thanks for sharing this idea. I think "carve" instead of paint, but paint is far more preschool and toddler friendly. I just want to eat the seeds though, lol…

It was a risky move, one that soured many locals on their hometown hill. But when Taos opened its slopes to snowboarders four years ago this month, little did it know it would see skier—and boarder—visits climb to their highest numbers in a decade.
Personally, we've never been to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. We've been to Robert Redford's Sundance Resort and bombed some runs in a manner worthy of a ski film and eaten some of the finest food in ski country at the Tree Room. But the film festival? Nope. We always thought the on-slope crush of stargazers would be too much for us.
Surely you've noticed in the last decade or so that the number of local kids and domestic ski bums manning the chairlifts and ticket windows of America's ski resorts has declined, their roles taken over by Argentines and Kiwis. The reasons for this are debatable -- though we think it has to do with a generation of skiing parents eager to give their kids the ski-bum experience they never had. At any rate, we're about to see more locals in on-hill uniforms this season.

Bulletin: New Orleans — the university, not the city — has NOT joined the Big 12 Conference for baseball.
Contrary to perception, the Privateers are only playing an abbreviated Big 12 schedule.
Bulletin: New Orleans — the university, not the city — has NOT joined the Big 12 Conference for baseball.
Contrary to perception, the Privateers are only playing an abbreviated Big 12 schedule.
When New Orleans visited Norman last weekend, the Privateers took on their third Big 12 club this season, serving in their unofficial role as the equivalent of an Oscars seat filler, plugging holes in the conference's uneven schedule.
There are others, too, with Big 12 teams scrambling to fill at least one, and sometimes two full weekends during what should be premium dates for showdowns in the race for the league title.
Instead, Big 12 clubs find themselves in an annual search for filler material, with only nine league schools fielding baseball teams since the first round of conference realignment shook things up.
And, yes, it's a problem, beyond the unavailability of respectable opponents, since the other power conferences are immersed in league play this time of year. It's troubling as another factor in the Big 12's bad RPI puzzle, which threatens to result in a record low NCAA Tournament invites.
Kansas played at BYU and will go to Utah the final weekend of the regular season.
Kansas State used Bethune-Cookman and Iowa as schedule filler.
Oklahoma State heads to Omaha this weekend for the TD Ameritrade Classic, with games against Rutgers, Creighton and Nebraska on tap.
TCU played San Francisco and will visit Southern Cal.
Texas went to Minnesota. Texas Tech took a weekend off, unless you count a single game against Lubbock Christian.
Baylor and West Virginia both played New Orleans, and the Mountaineers have Liberty coming up.
What do those teams have in common? Most are baseball no-names, offering wins perhaps, but also an RPI hit.
The Privateers, for instance, are 6-38 overall, including an 0-9 mark against the Big 12.
These are games that nobody wants to play.

Mind-Body Medicine
Peter Amato, PhD Student in Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine, Operates Integrative Healing Centers in Pennsylvania and St. Maarten
Peter Amato operates two integrative wellness centers, both named Inner Harmony. The first is in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania and the second is on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. The Scranton center is situated on the campus of the Regional Hospital of Scranton (formerly Mercy Hospital). Both centers provide holistic healthcare, based on a model of healing mind, body, and spirit.
Peter Amato is ecstatic about earning his upcoming PhD from the Saybrook School of Mind-Body Medicine. As he reflects upon his learning experience, he is extremely satisfied with the quality of the courses, professors, and mentors that have touched his life. His education has offered a comprehensive overview of mind-body medicine, a deepened understanding of whole systems, and a broad knowledge base of leadership transformation and coaching. He has enjoyed working in groups, being part of a cohort, and joining with peers and faculty at residential conferences. The collective mind-body medicine learning has advanced his understanding and articulation of transpersonal dialogue, integral theory, and quantum physics. The vast understanding of whole-person, whole care and what that means to each individual and society, has been paramount in his Saybrook learning process. He believes that understanding the complexity of paradigms operating simultaneously through self, culture, and nature will help him in his plans to promote a transformation of healthcare.
Saybrook has enriched his gift of awareness, encouraged self-discipline and rigor, and supported his personal and collective healing vision. His academic career has enhanced his creativity and trans-disciplinary understanding of various models of healthcare and individual healing modalities. He has learned skills to communicate effectively, remaining mindful to sensitive issues, cultural nuances, and varying worldviews. As the new integrative science rooted in quantum theory continues to emerge, Peter believes his influence beyond the Western scientific field can help enhance the current ontology and epistemology.
Saybrook University is a leader in the field in distance learning, providing common ground that maintains a unique sense of family and unity through many miles. Peter thanks Saybrook for touching his life so deeply.

|Vikings roll over Madison County, 42-0
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 23 October 2010 09:54
The Avery High Vikings keep rolling along. The Vikings scored 21 unanswered points in the second quarter and broke the game wide open.
That erruptionj gave Avery (7-2 overall; 3-2 in the Western Highlands 1A/2A Conference) a commanding 28-0 lead at the breaki, enroute to a 42-0 blowout win. The game also marked the return of Vikings quarterback Alex Villanueva, who has been on the shelf since September 23 with a broken collarbone.

This team just has to keep building. The O's are at the point where they are a good solid team. But not sell the farm this season or next to win now. If we keep selling all the farm pieces, then 5 years down the road we will be a team who is 18 games out by All-Star break.
Sign Feldman for a 2-3 year deal before the beginning of ST. That way we will have a pretty solid pitching staff. I say 2 at least because I highly doubt he would sign a 1 year deal. The bats will keep developing with Davis/Jones/Machado/Urrutia. Roberts has at least a season or two of high level baseball.
The issue with this team is that it relies on the HR ball to much. This team struggles mightily to knock in runs with base hits or doubles. It seems that if this team does not homer, they can only score 3 runs a game.
That is just the way it is when Angelos pockets all the money. The Orioles are a "small market" team? No, they can spend with other contenders, maybe not as much, but more than what they have spent throughout the years.

On Thursday, Sept. 26, a jury found the 38-year-old Reno man guilty of murder and seven other felonies stemming from a car chase that ended in a hail of bullets from Wallin-Reed's AR-15 assault rifle.Gregory Chad Wallin-Reed will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for the July 2011 shooting death of Rory McGuire.
After hearing nearly a month of testimony, the jury (10 women and two men) took just three hours to find the defendant guilty of first-degree murder.
The verdict indicated that the jurors didn't believe Wallin-Reed's claim that someone in McGuire's car shot at him during a 7.6-mile car chase on the night of July 2, 2011. The chase began at the defendant's cabin along the Janesville Grade.
Wallin-Reed chased the six Susanville men — all aged 19 to 20 at the time — after he caught them stealing solar lights from his driveway.
Wallin-Reed started by firing one AR-15 shot from the deck of his cabin. He used a handgun during the first part of the chase and switched back to the assault rifle when McGuire turned around on a dirt road and tried to escape in the opposite direction.
As the car passed Wallin-Reed, he fired nine rounds from the AR-15 from about 50 feet away. One of the shots hit McGuire in the head. Two passengers were shot in the leg.
McGuire died two days later.
Wallin-Reed showed no emotion as the court clerk read the verdict in a hushed courtroom, which included family and friends of both McGuire and Wallin-Reed.
Wallin-Reed is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 21. Because of enhancements for using a firearm and causing great bodily injury, he faces a minimum sentence of 50 years to life.
When Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman read the instructions to the jurors, they were given the option of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter or not guilty.
The jury chose murder in the first degree.
They also found Wallin-Reed guilty of shooting at an inhabited vehicle, five counts of assault with a firearm and possession of an assault weapon.
McGuire's parents, Carol Starzer and Dave McGuire, were in the courtroom every day of the trial, which began Sept. 3.
Starzer wept as the court clerk read the jury's decision.
In an interview the day after the verdict was announced, Starzer said the verdict was "bittersweet."
"I feel like justice was served," Starzer said. "The person who did this to these boys will be paying the price until the day he dies — probably even after.
"I hope the five boys who went through this can get whatever help and assistance they need so that it doesn't come back on them in the future. Something like this never goes away completely."
Starzer talked extensively about the support she and her family received from District Attorney David Hollister. She said she was "absolutely amazed" by the amount of time and attention he devoted to her family.
"David Hollister is one notch down from God as far as I'm concerned," Starzer said. "He has just been so good, so kind. And he always kept us informed. Even if the verdict hadn't turned out the way it did, he left no stone unturned. We never left the courtroom feeling like things were going bad. We were all amazed."
Hollister, who spent two years preparing for the trial and said he lost 12 pounds during the trial itself, said he was relieved.
"The whole thing was just very much a tragedy; there's no way around that," Hollister said. "The fact that we were able to bring some level of justice to the family of that 20-year-old who died means a great deal to me."
Hollister faced a tag-team defense by Reno attorneys John Ohlson and Richard Young. The prosecution called more than two dozen witnesses over three weeks, while the defense called just four witnesses over a day.
"There were a great many people who felt that this would end up in an acquittal," Hollister said. "I firmly believed from the very start, without equivocation, that the defendant committed the crime of murder when he did what he did."
The prosecution's witnesses — which included deputies, detectives, forensics experts and two of the men who were in the fleeing car — underwent tenacious cross-examination throughout the trial. But, ultimately, the defense failed to prove the men in McGuire's car had a gun.
"I think (the defense attorneys) are decent guys and good attorneys and they did the best with what they had," Hollister said.
Ohlson and Young appeared subdued as they left the courtroom where their handcuffed client stood surrounded by sheriff's deputies.
"We're disappointed in the verdict, obviously," Young said softly.
When asked if they intended to file an appeal, Young said, "We are considering an appeal. We are considering a motion for a retrial. But we don't know yet."
Important case
The district attorney said the Wallin-Reed case brought out the best in Plumas County's criminal justice system. He said he was thankful and proud.
"Very much so," he said. "I am exceptionally proud of the outstanding work of the Plumas County Sheriff's Office, particularly the detectives division for their work in investigating the case and working it through to a just end."
Hollister said he was also proud of his staff in prosecuting the case and the way the case was handled through the court process.
"Judge Kaufman and his staff were fair and professional and provided the forum necessary for a fair trial.
"This was an important case for our office and the community in another way," Hollister said. "I firmly believe it is essential to a good DA's office and a just community that we are able to try difficult cases and try them effectively. Since I took office, that is a tenet I wanted to firmly establish. I believe this result does a great deal in achieving that goal."

Keith Allen Brown, Steven Thompson, Woodrow Grant, Cory Baugh and Jeremy Brown win today's award for a clueless group of gentlemen with no ability to accept responsibility. (And I use the term gentlemen loosely.)
When in doubt in life, do not accept blame for your actions. Rather take to the courts and sue Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Miller Brewing and the owner of Jim Beam whiskey for one billion dollars.
Good job, guys. Way to teach the younger generation.

|South Chute & Finger Traverse
Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2013
|Do you know those route descriptions (and climbers), who play everything down (sandbaggers) and make a climb seem like a walk in the park? I bring this up because the majority of the route descriptions I read for Mount Constance tended to use benign phrases like, "go up a scree slope, over some ledges and scramble to the airy summit." I call that sandbagging. They could just as easily have written, "ascend a shifting avalanche slope of talus, creep up some outward sloping edges with huge drop-offs and scramble over unprotectable rock to the summit."
The problem with this route is that it is a full seven hours from the lake and not one minute of that seven hours is normal hiking. It is all talus, scree and loose rock. The ledges are of poor quality and strewn with small rocks. The finger traverse was not technically hard but a fall would be 100% fatal (as would many falls in many places all over this route). I am not saying it is hard from any one specific move to another, I am just saying that it never really has an easy section. There are no hands-in-pockets parts where you can recharge your mental batteries. You are either watching your step, scrambling among loose rock or trying to find the route.
I think we climbed the South Chute (where I was hit by rockfall) from Avalanche Canyon (properly named) and then descended a snow finger; ascended a mountain of scree to a notch, descended rock to some snow, ascended around a corner to the Finger Traverse, descended a monster snowfield (steep) to an exposed ledge and then climbed to the summit block. Once at the block, we had a nice, clean 20' climb to the true summit. Then all we had to do was reverse everything on our way back to camp (5 hours).
I was really, really happy when I was back in camp at Lake Constance.

Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2012
|This peak is very complex and there are cliff faces everywhere on the upper mountain. We climbed the north chute and finger traverse on the way up and then took the terrible traverse and south chute on the way down. A bad snow patch south of the terrible traverse blocked our path. Rather that climb steep icy snow we free climbed a short pitch of unprotectable mid-5th class rock to get around it. We carried rope, crampons, and axes but didn't use them. This is my new favorite climb in the Olympic Range.

|FT Bypass
Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2012
|Route is scree until the second notch (when the actual summit block becomes visible), then one must either descend steep snow with rocks at the bottom or descend the moat on the left about 20 feet and scramble up and over the rock rib with some 4th-low 5th class moves. After being belayed down this snow I determined that it would not be safe without a rope as the snow was very icy and difficult even with crampons and an axe. With the amount of snow still up there (probably 10 to 15 feet at this section) it is unlikely this section will melt out at all this year. My partner did the scramble and the rest of the route to the summit block was pretty straightforward (we took the FT Bypass as described on the south chute description on this page). The block itself required a few 4th class rock climbing moves to reach the true summit which we did unroped. On the way back we both scrambled over the rib to get to the notch instead of going up the snow I went down. From here it was awesome scree skiing down to the lake. Biking to the trailhead was a great decision as we made it from the TH to the washout in about 10 minutes.

|Used the Tunnel Creek trail,ascended the south fork of the creek to an upper basin, took Cunningham pass down to canyon littered with plane wreckage debris from the 1975 crash below the SE face of Constance, took a gnarly scree shute up to meet up with the south chute route just NE of the Cat Ears. Took the Finger Traverse on the ascent, it was no big deal, people exaggerate its difficulty, very exposed, yes, but very short and very easy moves, not worth bringing gear for the few moves. Took the Terrible Traverse on the descent, this on the other hand is a bit sketchy, probably a 45 degree traverse on very hard snow with a nasty drainage below, a short distance to self arrest, used crampons and serious self belaying, still not worth bringing gear for though in my opinion. Tunnel Creek trailhead to base camp in upper basin: 2.5hrs. Base camp to summit: 4.5hrs. Summit to car: 6hrs (including base camp pack up/lunch) Also climbed April Peak the evening before summit sunday :) SUCH a fun climb.

|Was very happy to finally climb this peak that I'd looked at from the waters of Puget Sound for so long. Rode bikes up the road to the trailhead. Very steep hike up to the lake. A lotta work up, very cool to do both the finger traverse and terrible traverse, as well as some of the top of the west ridge. I think the hike down is worse than up, and overall I was more thrashed by this than many higher mountains.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Jacket:
I have an entire wardrobe of coats and jackets in the winter-chilly Midwest. I love this lightweight but still warm and comfy jacket for casual workdays and weekends. Got it on sale and it was a good buy as well. No feather issues yet!

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Jacket:
I have the vest version of this jacket - which I absolutely love. I ordered the jacket, thinking it would be a nice alternative when it got a little colder outside. Unfortunately, it was a little on the big side - especially in the shoulders. This is strange, as I'm 6'2" and relatively broad across the shoulders and quite busty. Ultimately, this jacket was unflattering and just too large (in XXL Tall), so I returned it.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Jacket:
I got this jacket on a one day extra percentage off the sale price so it was an amazing bargain ($76). I would not have looked at it at its full price.
I am always cold and you can feel the heat being locked in the moment you put this jacket on which I love. The quality so far is great. Because of the material it is made of it is more durable to tares and pulls. I like the extra material along the arms for wear protection and it has held its own in the rain. I have not been out in drenching rain yet though.
The color I got is a burgundy (I can't remember the actual name) and it is really nice. I purchased an XS and it is still large on me but there is no XXS alternative. I could easily fit a sweatshirt under this jacket. I would recommend order a size down.
This jacket is super light and you can pack it down to put into a purse or backpack.
I love it, love it, love it.
Since it was such a great deal I bought one for my husband and son and they both like it also.

|Wikia's Expert Showcase with Catching Fire cast
Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America, lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a televised event where they must fight to the death.Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
Sparks are igniting, flames are spreading and the Capitol wants revenge.
Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol-- a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before... and surprising readers at every turn.
My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.
Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.
It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plains--except Katniss.The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

To the Memory of Alyssa Peterson
Scott Horton
"He has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable or dangerous to do so."
And then we have the cases like Alyssa Peterson and Ted Westhusing. I am far from convinced that either of these cases is a suicide. But in both we have soldiers who held fast to the concept of honor, and for that both merit our respect. More than this, Peterson and Westhusing are the two of the most clear-cut American heroes to fall in this conflict...
Americans who want to restore the nation's honor can take a first step by remembering Ted Westhusing and Alyssa Peterson when they enter the voting booth on Election Day. This is about our country and the integrity of those who serve it.
Oh please...
There is nothing honorable about suicide. It is the ultimate form of quitting.
Moreover, there is even less honor exploiting the suicide of two soldiers to rustle up votes in an election. Indeed, such crass exploitation is reprehensible.
You have no idea why these service members committed suicide and are injecting your own motives for purely political reasons.
In one of the most wretched political seasons in memory, this is a new low.
If I remember anything when I vote, it will be that power always corrupts, and it should be granted to any one group or individual not for very long. The more power someone wants, it seems, the more corrupt it is likely they are.
Great piece, and thanks for it. Sad that your point will be wasted on many who purport to represent absolute values, but its value for us alleged "moral relativists" is absolute---and immense. Blessings.
You make a perfectly reasonable point about the emotional cost to our soldiers from enhanced interrogation techniques
But, it's hard to trust your credibility when you make seemingly wild and unsubstantiated accusations - insinuating that those two were murdered.
Do you have ANYTHING (aside from random letters from uninformed readers) to back that up? Aside from you own conjecture.
I mean seriously, you come across as crazy. Please calm my doubts.
Dear Humble Law Student,
Both of these individuals died from bullet wounds, which is not a natural cause of death. The case of Col Westhusing was, as noted in the linked piece, investigated and reported in an extensive feature in the Los Angeles Times. The Times writer quoted a number of sources who cast doubt on the assessment of the case as a suicide, and the piece itself comes off as extremely skeptical. This is not to say that there is a specific suspect or alternative theory, only that the claim that the case is a suicide is subject to severe doubt. Col Westhusing was aggressively pressing a claim of corruption against a contractor. With his death, it appears that this claim went away. That also is unsettling. The totality of evidence in the Alyssa Peterson case is, at this point, far weaker, and the military has still failed to turn over much of what was requested in the FOIA, including a supposed suicide notes. Suicides are faked to cover homicides with some frequency - this is not just a matter of murder mysteries. And beyond this it is extremely difficult to conduct sound investigations in a war setting of this sort. This adds to the circumstance of doubt. However, my view is one of doubt, not certainty. The posture adopted by DOD does not inspire confidence, but rather just the opposite - namely a sense that something definitely is not right here.
Dear Bart DePalma,
To the contrary, I would say that disparaging deceased service personnel in Iraq, as you do here, is "a new low." Enjoy election night. I am sure you're looking forward to it.
I appreciated the post from 12/05, especially the Waldron article (now published; cited by Dahlia Lithwick of Slate in a recent column), which I found very powerful.
SH clarified his noises as to the fact the two "suicides" were controversial. This is helpful, since the matter did raise a red flag. I'd note the E&P piece might have pointed to doubts, but the two part piece doesn't focus on them.
I'm not sure tossing them in really adds to your post, especially w/o the added clarification you now made.
Anyway, it is tragic that two people like these felt compelled to kill themself, if that is what happened.
There is no LA Times link in the post above. You do have a link to the LA Times in a post that this post links to, but that link has expired. I'm guessing I'll have to go to lexis to drudge it up. Unless, you can point me somewhere else?
For the Alyssa Peterson case, the evidence you pointed seems really weak. Especially, when you take into account how the military is almost always draggings its feet regarding deaths that put it in a bad light. Of course, if she was murdered they would have an even greater incentive to drag their feet/ cover it up. But for better or worse, this is their usually MO and hardly supportive of your claims.
I don't think Professor Horton would write something like this unless he had good reason to think it was true. He's taking a risk with this piece if the evidence turns out the other way. And it's not like there's a shortage of eminently verifiable things to criticize (though "verifable" is a relative term, as Bart and "The Dog" continuously remind us).
The possibility that she was murdered left me speechless for more than a minute. But given what we know about Ian Fishback, Fallujah, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, Alberto Mora, and Abu Ghraib, maybe I shouldn't have been so surprised.
I'm going to stick with criticisms I consider more credible (i.e. those that have been verified), but I'm glad others are plumbing the depths of what human beings are capable of.
Dear Humblelawstudent,
I am a little puzzled by your comments but you seem so troubled that I will follow up a bit. I am not leveling a charge against anyone connected with the death of Alyssa Peterson.
Bart DePalma says "there is nothing honorable about suicide." I agree with him. (Of course, Seneca, Socrates and other greater thinkers of antiquity would have a very different take on the issue). Because the conclusion of "suicide" entails a degree of stigmatization of a person who honorably served his or her country in conflict (it may, just for instance, lead to refusal of permission for burial in consecrated grounds), I believe it is unseemly to jump to this conclusion. It is only appropriate where the evidence for this conclusion is clear and convincing. In Col Westhusing's case it certainly isn't. If you send me your email address I will get you the LA Times piece - for copyright reasons I can't post it. In Alyssa Peterson's case, all the information is inconclusive, mostly because the DOD has now made a series of inconsistent statements about what happened and has - still - failed to give a comprehensive account. There is no question of why: her case is tied closely to the introduction of highly coercive techniques which were war crimes. They are extremely anxious not to have any of these facts explored or documented. Indeed, they tell us the records have been destroyed. This is not a circumstance in which stigmatization of a fallen soldier with a tag of suicide is appropriate. My interest here is defense of a deceased person, not accusations against an unknown assailant.
Bart Depalma is a perfect example of the 'whatever my side says" mindset that deserves intellectual waterboarding, if not an actual one.
With no frame of knowledge beyond a law degree, you quickly denounce ("..no idea why these two service members committed suicide..") two persons whose mortal fate was, at the very least, HUGELY compromised by the most sinister undermining of their ethical and moral beliefs by leaders with no such ethical compass whatsoever.
I viscerally doubt the validity of the suicide claims, and fully expect the further exploration of these cases to yield countless irregularities in the manner in which the "official investigation" was conducted, and the motives applied to the deceased individuals by a demonstratively deceptive power structure.
In what qualifies for your version of "honor", bart, is there a great reservoir of that attribute in believing whatever is announced by your leadership, no matter your own inability to know what transpired with two service people who showed vast levels of pure honor and character right up to the last minutes of their lives?
Their legacy should not be left, frankly, to the rulings of those whose pronouncements impugn their honor.
Has anyone asked, or explained, why the records of the interrogations were destroyed? Either this is standard operating procedure, or someone had something to hide and should be charged with (at a minimum) obstruction of justice. Any suggestion that the records destruction was "accidental" would not be credible.
even if it is suicide, it was homocide. how long will we allow these evil men to murder our children? To rape and murder and torture? When will they be called to justice?
Oh please...
There is nothing honorable about suicide. It is the ultimate form of quitting.
What an absolutely despicable human being you are, Mr. Depalma. Absolutely despicable. Whether it was or wasn't suicide, the last thing you have a right to do is judge Alyssa Peterson in her final moment. Shame on you.
["Bart" DePalma]: Oh please...
["Bart" DePalma]: There is nothing honorable about suicide. It is the ultimate form of quitting.
[Thomas Nephew]: What an absolutely despicable human being you are, Mr. Depalma. Absolutely despicable. Whether it was or wasn't suicide, the last thing you have a right to do is judge Alyssa Peterson in her final moment. Shame on you.
"Bart" (as is usual) misses the point. Scott was suggesting that the "suicides" were rather curious, considering that these people were people of honour and principle, and that they would have neither the reason (having refused to engage in the abuse) nor the inclination (being people of principle) to commit suicide themselves.
But even if they did feel that they had "failed" in some way, and that drove them to such desperate acts, suicide is hardly dishonourable. In Japanese culture, this is the atonement some people make themselves if they had a position of authority and something bad happened on their watch. That concept of "responsibility" is lost on those that support the maladministration, needless to say.
As a veteran interrogator who came into some contact with the world of strategic politics, 'other government organizations', and the great disparity between truth and the press release, I would not be surprised at all to learn that Mr. Horton's conjectures about faked suicides were accurate.
Mr Depalma's post is bothersome. It's the kind of thing you want to take apart piece by piece, but when you sit down to do it, you become so damn frustrated that all you can do is spit and count on the hope that everyone else already gets it.
In any case, suicide or not, the deaths of these two (and all) service men and women in Iraq should definitely be considered before voting.
Unfortunately I found myself behing a computer with Internet Explorer so I was forced to read what Bart vomited out... For all you firefox-users: dissapear Bart and make Bart eat Pie!(NB warning Javascript!)
Step 1: download and install greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/
Step 2: download this trollblocker
Step 3: open balkinisation and use the kill or hide function
Step 4: change the code to have fun. In my world I reduced Bart to always saying "I like pie". From now on Bart, I agree with you!

If the parents and/or fellow church members of Alyssa read this -- then let me thank you and acknowledge you for the developmaent of Alyssa's character to the degree that she could not take part in an activity totally contradictory to her values as a follower of the Lord Jesus. Alyssa, you are a heroine wherever you are. Thank you for sying No in the most recognizable way you could. See you in the Celestial Kingdom.

So I'm going to Colorado to check out the job fair this Friday, but I don't know what to wear. I don't really have a great grasp on the culture, so I'm worried about showing up in a suit and just not fitting in. Any ideas?

Re: What to wear to the job fair?
be yourself!
Re: What to wear to the job fair?
Well, if I be myself, I'll show up in ripped jeans with five days of stubble.....I don't really believe that would be the best thing to do.
I'm planning on wearing a suit, but I just worry I will come across as too stuffy. I know that it is generally a pretty casual environment down there. Any other ideas?
Re: What to wear to the job fair?
Hi Chulls,
I've never been and I'm not sure of the culture, but you can always tone a suit down by carrying the jacket if you feel uncomfortable, whereas you can't upgrade scruffy on the spot if you've underdone it.
I'd see it that a suit and a clean shave shows you've made the effort and want to make a good impression - besides if you do over-do it it'll be a great starting point when you get South "Hey aren't you the guy who turned up in Colorado in the suit!?"
Good luck, I'll have my fingers crossed for you. Don't forget to come back and let us know how it went.

My decal came in the mail and my first impression was that it was a REALLY nice looking decal. I was so happy with the way it looked and the fact that I got a matching wallpaper with it. It was easy to get on, but I had to cut a little of the sides to get it to fit and I didn't use the front decal. Overall I'm very pleased with it and I've even gotten compliments on the design!HEATHER KLEIN, United States

The high-quality Canon optics used in the REALiS SX7 Mark II produce clear, high-resolution projected images.
Bright Images with Outstanding Color ReproductionThe lens glass has been rigorously selected for high transmittance, projecting bright images with exceptional color reproduction and ideal color balance.
Coated to Control Ghosting and FlareSuper Spectra coating, proven in Canon's EF lenses, minimizes reflection from the lens surface, producing bright, clear, high-contrast images with very little of the ghosting and flare that can degrade image quality.
Minimal Color Shift / Color BleedingIn addition to faithful rendition of high-definition images, the projection lens minimizes color shift and color bleeding throughout the entire zoom range.
Lowered Chromatic AberrationChromatic aberration is a type of distortion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point, causing "fringes" of color to appear along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of projected image. Incorporation of a UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) lens significantly lowers chromatic aberration.
Flexible Projector PlacementThe REALiS SX7 Mark II's 1.7x optical zoom lens faithfully projects images while offering ease of placement, allowing you to easily change the screen size to accommodate various venues and/or applications- regardless of space limitations.
The projector's short throw distance allows you to project 100-inch images from only 9.8 feet, making the SX7 Mark II easy to setup in large rooms. Only 7.9 feet are needed for 80-inch projections, making the it ideal for classrooms and small meeting rooms.

Students from Utah high schools and college technical education programs were recently presented with some of the nation's highest awards at the SkillsUSA national leadership conference in Kansas City, Mo.
Industry leaders representing more than 1,000 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions recognized the students for excellence in 80 hands-on occupational and leadership contests.
The contests included robotics, criminal justice, aviation maintenance and public speaking.
Acacia Davis, a student at College of Eastern Utah, received a bronze medal in prepared speech category, confirmed program representatives.
Davis is a resident of Carbon County and received one of 31 medals awarded to Utah students at the national competition.
In order to qualify for the event, participants had to compete in state and local contests.
The students who won gold medals at the state level advanced to the national competition.
"Over 4,700 students from every state in the nation came to compete in the SkillsUSA Championship this week," said Tim Lawrence, event director.
Studies show 75 percent of participants go on to higher education and 40 percent are or will attend college while working, added Lawrence.
Of the participants who graduated in 2005, 76 percent are expected to work in the field for which they trained.
"They're the future employees industry wants to hire and promote," said Lawrence.
In addition to the medals, many recipients also receive prizes, including tools of their trade and scholarships to further educations and careers.
Industry support for the competition was valued at more then $25 million in donated time, equipment, cash and materials.
The competitions were run and judged by experts using industry standards.

In downtown Fort Worth, Texas, a project to refocus the public eye on the historic Tarrant County Courthouse is giving city planners and the demolition company contracted to perform the job a renewed appreciation of open space.
The Courthouse was built on the bluff of the Trinity River in 1895, its pink granite cut from local stone repositories. It was eclipsed in the 1950s by the sterile limestone Civil Courts Building. A facelift to the Courts Building facade did little to warm Fort Worth residents to the stark structure. Not surprisingly the city embraced news that it would be leveled and replaced with spacious landscaped grounds fronting the centerpiece Courthouse.
Under a pelting midday sun, the words "Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition LLC" arc into the air along the boom of a Volvo EC460CHR ultra high reach excavator as it crests and tears into the shell of the five story Civil Courts Building. The machine is capable of reaching heights nearing 90 feet with a forward reach of up to 54.6 feet as its shear claw surgically selects and snips steel and limestone columns into manageable pieces of debris.
"The Tarrant County Courthouse sits adjacent to the Courts Building just15 feet away," says Lloyd, company owner and president. "Compounding the difficulty was that the structure had bump-outs extending 20 feet from the building, which made it nearly impossible to move large equipment on site. We began the demolition by hand, dismantling the five story bump-out from top down using mini excavators hoisted onto the roof and genuine manpower. That gave us an extra 20 feet of width to bring in the Volvo high reach excavator," he said. A job that would in more typical conditions take 45 days stretched to 90 due to the delicate nature of the demolition.
Steadiness and stability
When determining which equipment to bring to the job, Lloyd, who has more than 30 years of demo experience, knew the Volvo EC460CHR that he had added to his fleet just six months earlier would be the workhorse excavator. Powered by a Volvo 329 hp engine, the 60 T machine combines high torque at low rpms with high flow hydraulics to bring the 80,000 square foot structure cleanly and safely to the ground with no impact on the neighboring historic buildings or daily government business.
"With the long reach boom fully extended, the stability of the EC460CHR is bar none. And when you are working at these heights with a LaBounty UP25 6,000 pound shear at the end of your boom, beating against a building, you need to feel stable," says Jarred Walker with ROMCO Equipment Company, the Volvo Construction Equipment dealer for northern Texas. The Volvo high reach excavator line has the capacity to handle attachments from 5,500 – 7,720 lbs., including grapples, shears, pulverizers, and hammers.
Maneuvering the Volvo high reach demolition excavator into position was eased by the hydraulically retractable undercarriage, which can expand from 7' 10" - 11' 1'' to simplify transport and increase stability and production when working. An additional 8,370 pound counterweight anchors the excavator to allow a wide operating range without diminishing control, power or stability.
"The operators absolutely love the Volvo high reach for its comfort and control. The cab tilts up to 30 degrees to prevent straining and with the on-board rearview cameras you have 360 degrees of sight. There is less mental and physical fatigue and that makes for a much less stressful job," Lloyd adds.
During the later stages of the project, crews worked up to 10 hours a day seven days a week, with the high reach doing 99% of the tear down work and a Volvo EC380D and EC360C with grapples partnering to separate and scoop debris into hauler trucks. "Despite the heavier operating hours, we are using substantially less fuel than with our previous competitor high reach and seeing up to 15% savings over our previous high reach excavator," says Lloyd.
Lloyd Nabors was born into the demolition business, the son of a prominent demolition contractor.
In 1997, he ventured out to establish Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition LLC in Hutchins, Texas. There is continuity and competency that are central to any successful business. "Most of my employees, from operators to estimators to managers, have been with me for ten years or more," says Lloyd. The company has grown from a skeleton crew to more than 55 employees today.
Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition has evolved into a full service demo company which includes bridge demolition and asbestos abatement. Jobs take them throughout Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. "We do a lot of travelling," Lloyd says, downplaying the preparation entailed in shuttling crews hundreds of miles to demo sites.
These logistical and equipment versatility demands are what sold him on the EC460CHR.
"We had a competitor excavator with a modified long arm. It was eight years old with high hours. There were a lot of upkeep and repair issues, plus changing out the standard boom to the long arm could take up to four to five days. It was costing us in downtime and lost job opportunities," says Lloyd. "Then Jarred told me about a Volvo high reach excavator on the ROMCO lot in Fort Worth."
Says Jarred, "It was a classic case of they had a need and we had the right machine. Walter Reeves (demolition segment manager for Volvo CE) approached us about the high reach excavator and the first person I thought could benefit was Lloyd. We put him at the controls so he could feel the stability of the machine. Then, Walt and I showed him how to switch out the high reach boom to the digging boom in less than one hour using the modular joint system. That sold him. He had the machine on a job site two months later!'"
"Huge for us."
The Volvo line of high reach excavators use an innovative hydraulic modular joint system to efficiently change from the high reach boom to the digging boom. The modular joint allows the digging boom to be either in the straight or bent configuration for more reach height or digging depth.
"The modular joint boom has allowed us to be more diversified. When you don't need the high reach, in less than one hour you can revert the machine to a standard excavator. It is really like having two machines in one," Lloyd says.
In the demolition field, safety stays top of mind. In the heart of Fort Worth business district, that means no risk to neighboring historic structures and minimizing impact on daily governmental business.
"Scaffolding with netting was draped over the Courthouse and plywood nailed to the windows facing the southwest side to protect from overflying small debris. And a safety director is always on site," Lloyd says. Monday through Friday work concentrates on the north and east sides of the property that do not face the streets. On weekends the teardown kicks into aggressive mode with the framing streets blocked to traffic and pedestrians.
To minimize dust, a supersize DustBoss oscillating fan, mounted onto a truck and attached to a 1 ½" fire hose, shoots water 4-5 stories into the air, dampening the powderized concrete that hangs in the air.
Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition is a green certified demolition company, committed to maximizing the amount of demolition materials that are recycled. This certification also allows them to contract for numerous LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects, which give tax credits to projects that divert at least 50% of their construction waste to landfills.
"We treat every job as if it's green certified," says Lloyd. "It's an advantage to us environmentally by reducing waste and economically in landfill fee savings. All concrete from this site is going to a local recycler where it is turned into road base. The rebar and steel columns are also recycled."
Trusted name
Jarred met Lloyd through a mutual contractor friend who ran a Volvo fleet. Lloyd was interested in the full demo guard package factory fitted by Volvo, and subsequently purchased it on his first Volvo demolition excavator, a EC210B. This includes heavy duty side doors with screen, swing ring cover, heavy duty undercover for the superstructure and side impact protection. The excavator is still active in his fleet and operated by his son Colton.
"ROMCO and Jarred are exceptional in their support to make sure we stay running. And the way Volvo stands behind their equipment and service is outstanding. That is so important to a customer and a rare experience with many companies," says Lloyd.
With CareTrack telematics activated on several units, including the EC460CHR, ROMCO service technicians receive maintenance and operational alerts so they can bring the right parts out to the job site on the first trip and improve uptime. The CareTrack system also allows Lloyd to monitor fuel consumption and operating hours in real-time and review machine diagnostic history.
Today Lloyd D. Nabors Demolition counts ten excavators in its fleet, including one EC460CHR, three EC380Cs, three EC360Cs, one EC340C, one EC290, and the original EC210B. All were purchased through Volvo Financial Services to provide low interest rates and flexible payment options with the convenience of "one stop shopping."
Along the way he has made a Volvo convert out of his father and is also changing the minds of demolition colleagues who bid against him for jobs. "I've had competitor demo contractors call me up and ask, "Hey, what do you think about that Volvo?'" says Lloyd. "They see us on job sites running these machines and want our honest opinion."
Adds Jarred, "Lloyd is a well-respected contractor in this state and across the Southwest. People pay attention to what he does, what equipment he chooses to use. We can't place a value on the power of that type of customer testimonial."
Customer sentiment is equally prized by Lloyd.
"What gives me satisfaction is making the customer happy and completing a job on time. I count success as having the opportunity to do work for the same customer twice," he says.
It's a value also shared by ROMCO Equipment and Volvo.

Vivian Chen's paintings are the highlight of this three-artist show. In a commentary on decay and rebirth, they present a menagerie of animals lying dead on the forest floor with vegetation sprouting out of their carcasses. It's disconcerting to see mushrooms and a tree branch growing out of a bird's eye in the piece Bird, or flowers and leaves from the belly of Deer, and various flora spreading across the bodies of Snail, Bear, Owl, Rabbit and Raccoon. But this is the fate of any animal that runs out its clock and sleeps without waking. With a potent mix of whimsy and the grotesque, Chen makes us confront the fate that awaits all beasts, including those who walk on two legs and have brains that know death is inevitable.

6-17-11 Update: The southbound lane of River Road is now using the middle lane. The northbound lane is using only one lane in areas. Both lanes are experiencing some slow-down.
Turning off from River Road onto a side street can be difficult, and http://www.keepusmoving.info/proj_riverroad11.html states that "drivers may experience 10-15 minute delays when entering or leaving side streets and driveway". There are many high "curbs" to navigate, and the roads are less then ideal.
I still advise people to avoid the area when they can. People can use take the Northwest Expressway and use Maxwell Road, Beltline, or Irving Road (among others) to avoid traveling the south end of River Road. This is scheduled to continue until mid-July.

Even with average wages, adjusted for inflation, dropping for 21 of the last 23 months, higher rates of poverty, 23 million Americans unable to find regular work, ongoing $1 trillion deficits, ObamaCare pushing employers to cut full-time workers and hire part-timers, and the gross domestic product falling during the last quarter, there wasn't much in President Obama's second inaugural address about job creation, debt reduction, or economic growth.
Instead, it took only a few minutes into the speech before the rich became the target. Tying the ideals of the American revolution to his goals of economic leveling and income redistribution, Mr. Obama declared that "the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few."
It took Mr. Obama only a few additional minutes to deliver another slam at those with "privileges," using the concept of a fixed pie in which someone can get a bigger slice only by reducing the slice sizes of everyone else. "For we, the people," he declared, "understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it."
It took only a few more minutes for the "shrinking few" with "privileges," those with unearned and unfair advantages, to yet again become the villains. "We do not believe," Mr. Obama proclaimed, "that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky or happiness for the few."
The "few" with "privileges," in short, a "shrinking" overclass with a disproportionate share of "happiness" and "freedom," are portrayed as "lucky," not as hard-working, innovative, or productive, and not as job creators.

|Trio of "Smurfs" Charged in Meth Operation
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 05 February 2013 11:00
Last Friday, February 1st, Officers from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office arrested three individuals associated with obtaining materials for the clandestine methamphetamine laboratory found at 1297 NC-194 North in Vilas, NC on January 24th, 2013. Casey Ward, 25, and Lindsey Miller
, 20, both of 1656 Meat Camp Rd., and Heather Nelson, 20, of 3296 Meat Camp Rd., Boone, were arrested for their participation in the manufacture of methamphetamine. All three suspects are accused of supplying items needed to manufacture methamphetamine to Kevin Baird, of 1297 NC-194 in Vilas. Ward and Miller were set 25,000.00 bonds while Nelson was set a $10,000.00 bond. All three suspects have a March 23rd, 2013 court date.
The Sheriff's Office investigation identified the trio as "smurfs," the term for law enforcement being individuals that go from store to store buying the maximum legal amount of pseudoephedrine products with the intent of distributing these products to be used in the production of methamphetamine.
