Dear Abby 11/26/2012
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 51-year-old man. Three years ago, my first and only marriage ended after 20 years. Over the past two years, I have been in a wonderful relationship with a very bright woman, "Toni," who told me she had been married twice before.
A year ago, her job required that she move out of state, but we have successfully maintained the long-distance relationship with frequent visits and daily phone calls.
A few days ago, I learned by chance that she was briefly married a third time while she was in her early 20s.
I'm having a difficult time with this news — not for the additional marriage, but for the fact that she chose not to share it with me. I have bared my soul to her and thought she had done the same. I'm sad and disappointed.
Toni doesn't know that I know this, but it has changed my feelings for her. Trust issues are in question. Do I bring this up now? If so, how? Do I wait for her to bring it up someday in the future? How do I reconcile it in the meantime?
— Let Down in California
DEAR LET DOWN: You say you visit each other frequently, so I assume you plan to be together soon.
When you see her, tell her you were told she had been briefly married a third time. She may have told you she was twice DIVORCED, and if the marriage in her 20s was annulled, that may be the reason she didn't mention it.
DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, I dated this guy, "Craig." I was extremely close to his grandfather. When Craig went away to the Army, I would visit his grandfather regularly, and we developed a special bond.
When Craig got back, we were supposed to get married, but he dumped me. The next day he had a new girlfriend.
Craig was hard to get over, and I didn't handle the breakup well. Because his grandfather asked, I tried to maintain a relationship with him, but Craig's then-wife didn't like it.
Sometimes I wonder if I could have changed things. When Craig broke up with his wife, we exchanged emails on a dating website where we both apologized for what happened between us.
I just heard that his grandfather died. Would it be wrong of me to reach out to him? We don't talk.
— Still Not Over Him
in Massachusetts
DEAR STILL NOT OVER HIM: I see no reason why you shouldn't extend your sympathy to Craig for the loss of his grandfather, with whom you were close.
But, as much as you may wish it would, it may not resurrect your romance.

Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church
The Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church (previously the Augustana Lutheran Synod and also Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod in North America and Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod in North America) was a Lutheran church body in the United States that was one of the churches that merged into the Lutheran Church in America in 1962. It had its roots among the Swedish immigrants in the 19th century.
The Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod in North America was established in 1860. The organizing meeting was held at the Jefferson Prairie Settlement, near Clinton, Wisconsin from June 5–8. A group of Swedish Lutheran pastors including Jonas Swensson, Lars Paul Esbjörn, Tuve Hasselquist, Eric Norelius and Erland Carlsson pioneered development of the Augustana Synod.
"Augustana" is the Latin translation of the name of the city of Augsburg in Germany, birthplace of one of Lutheranism's defining documents, the Augsburg Confession of Faith. Along with the Swedish members of the church were Norwegian and Danish members who left the church in 1870 to form two new church bodies the Conference of the Norwegian-Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and the Norwegian Augustana Synod. Also in 1870 the synod was renamed the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod in North America. In 1894 the name was change to Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod in North America. In 1948, the name Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church was adopted.
Originally somewhat conservative, the church turned gradually more liberal after historical criticism had been introduced at its seminary. The Augustana Theological Seminary was located on the campus of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. It was later merged into the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago at the time of the formation of the Lutheran Church in America.
The Augustana Church was the direct parent to several liberal arts colleges in the United States: Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois; Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota; Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas; California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California; Midland Lutheran College in Fremont, Nebraska; and the defunct Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. Augustana and Gustavus Adolphus consistently rank among the top 100 liberal arts colleges in the U.S., and the other institutions are recognized as strong regional colleges.[citation needed]
While the Augustana Church only had about 500,000 members when the Lutheran Church in America was formed, its influence on its successor bodies has been significant, incorporating many of Augustana's emphases on mission, ecumenism, and social service. Herbert W. Chilstrom, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's first presiding bishop, is a graduate of the Augustana Theological Seminary and was ordained to Augustana's ministry in 1958. Included among the Augustana-founded congregations is Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the largest Lutheran congregation in the world with over 13,000 members.

Ariz. Border Sheriff: Obama's 'Got His Hands Wrapped Around Our Throat'
Posted By kurtnimmo On October 4, 2010 @ 12:49 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Terence P. Jeffrey
October 4, 2010
Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama has "got his hands wrapped around our throat" as his administration sues the state of Arizona for trying to enforce the immigration laws that the federal government itself will not enforce.
Dever also said he has "zero confidence" Obama will secure the border before his presidential term is up in two years and that the president is putting the people who live and work in Cochise County at risk by willfully failing to secure that border so that he can maintain political leverage for his goal of winning an amnesty for illegal aliens.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
CNSNews.com videotaped an interview with Dever on Aug. 13, the same day Obama signed a $600 million bill to provide 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents. When asked whether he believes Obama actually wants to secure the border, Dever said that Obama did not want to do so.

lololol. You people obviously don't know the severe racism of the blacks in America. Or your white guilt just makes you ignore it.

Black people in America and Europe should be thankful that the white man took their ancestors out of Africa, where they would be stuck in constant tribal warfare and unable to advance past living in grass huts. Every modern thing in Africa, such as railways, telephone lines, electricity generation, airports, and modern cities and government was introduced by the white man. Now that the white man is being forced out of Zimbabwe and South Africa, those two countries are falling apart and beginning to look like the rest of the majority black countries in Africa - ********* that cannot cooperate along tribal lines and don't function at all.

The Music of James Bond
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe story of the music that accompanies the cinematic adventures of Ian Fleming's intrepid Agent 007 is one of surprising real-life drama. In The Music of James Bond, author Jon Burlingame throws open studio and courtroom doors alike to reveal the full and extraordinary history of the sounds of James Bond, spicing the story with a wealth of fascinating and previously undisclosed tales. Burlingame devotes a chapter to each Bond film, providing the backstory for the music (including a reader-friendly analysis of each score) from the last-minute creation of the now-famous "James Bond Theme" in Dr. No to John Barry's trend-setting early scores for such films as Goldfinger and Thunderball. We learn how synthesizers, disco and modern electronica techniques played a role in subsequent scores, and how composer David Arnold reinvented the Bond sound for the 1990s and beyond. The book brims with behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Burlingame examines the decades-long controversy over authorship of the Bond theme; how Frank Sinatra almost sang the title song for Moonraker; and how top artists like Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and Madonna turned Bond songs into chart-topping hits. The author shares the untold stories of how Eric Clapton played guitar for Licence to Kill but saw his work shelved, and how Amy Winehouse very nearly co-wrote and sang the theme for Quantum of Solace. New interviews with many Bond songwriters and composers, coupled with extensive research as well as fascinating and previously undiscovered details - temperamental artists, unexpected hits, and the convergence of great music and unforgettable imagery - make The Music of James Bond a must read for 007 buffs and all popular music fans. less

Seven Reasons: Chocolates for everyday enjoyment.
Guided tasting of chocolates from different parts of the world
that you simply cannot and should not resist!
Instead of exploring chocolates in a geographical sense and focusing on different cocoa growing regions, this year we are going to taste chocolates, both milk and dark – emphasizing mostly small manufacturer artisan bars – that stands out for their taste and quality. We will taste and reflect on some of the wonderful flavor notes of dark bars: ripe tropical fruits, cherries and blackberries, spicy raisins, licorice, tobacco and molasses. We will also talk about wine pairing with these chocolates. A source sheet will be included with some information about each chocolate and where you can find them. Bring a quiet mind and some curious taste buds!

"Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE)" is an innovative programme sponsored and managed by the Department of Science & Technology for attraction of talent to Science. The basic objective of INSPIRE is to communicate to the youth of the country the excitements of creative pursuit of science, attract talent to the study of science at an early age and thus build the required critical human resource pool for strengthening and expanding the Science & Technology system and R&D base.
A striking feature of the programme is that it does not believe in conducting competitive exams for identification of talent at any level. It believes in and relies on the efficacy of the existing educational structure for identification of talent.
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.

Last weeks attendance at an international port/shipping conference may pay off handsomely for the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority.
OBPA Executive Director Wade A. Davis told the authority board Wednesday that a shipping prospect at the St. Lawrence port on Paterson Street will bring four years of business to port.
A final agreement, he said, is a few months away.
We are in serious negotiations, Mr. Davis said.
The prospect, the identity of which Mr. Davis declined to divulge, came about at last weeks annual three-day BreakBulk Americas Exposition in New Orleans. The OBPA boss, board Chairman Samuel J. LaMacchia and Director of Commercial and Industrial Development John A. Rishe attended the port trade show, which attracted more than 4,000 participants and 280 international exhibitors.
Mr. Davis also declined to identify the prospective cargos identity, its origin or destination. He did say that it was oversized, over-threshold stuff requiring the ports Ford Street access road and on a par with the 90 windmill turbines through the port last summer and fall.
Other business prospects for the port, according to Mr. Rishe, include:
—A wood pellet company that would export its product from the port.
—Barge transport from the port of unidentified heavy equipment from 2014 to 2017. A decision on which of two freight companies will deliver it to the port has yet to be made.
I would imagine by the early part of next year, Mr. Rishe said.

After the fishmongers advice to leave, I took up position out of sight and here's another shot I took which seemed to be worth processing.. I learned a few lessons today, not only of human nature but of camera settings and the different effects they can produce. The beauty of using a lens with an optical stabiliser as you all know is that the camera can used handheld with a low shutter speed. All the shots I took today were taken with a shutter speed of .20 sec.

I have no scale so I deleted everything. UPDATE: I found a scale to use so tomorrow I will have weights for everything.I mostly go on trips in northern MN.
Edited by mcpacker on 10/29/2009 22:32:40 MDT.
Are you looking for suggestions to save weight/items you could potentially drop? If you are, can you add the weights of your current items? Also, describe the areas you commonly hike and the normal temp range/ terrain.
Mike - please - add weights on every item.I quickly reviewed your list - and be prepared - you will get some opinions. Remember, this is a sight for LIGHTWEIGHT backpacking, and your list is what would be called "traditional" People take these lists very seriously. Nobody is going to pay much attention unless you have the exact weights of each peice of gear. If you dont't have a digital postal scale, you won't be taken seriously.How are your EXCEL skills?THere are some excellent templates as a starting point. Like this:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/wilderness_trekking_school_gear_list.htmlNOTE: there is a link on the first paragraph with an excel spread sheet template.Also add where you goin: Altitude, season, duration of proposed trip, solo or in a group.
What pray tell do you do with an ax?
Obviously there is a lot to say here, but first the first thing that would help is knowing more about the temperatures and conditions you expect to encounter, but I'll go ahead and give a few suggestions anyways.Ax – really, an ax, unless you are a firefighter or trail maintainer, there is no reason to carry an ax in the backcountry, no matter how small it is.50ft nylon rope – perhaps it is just worded rope and this is lightweight cord for bear bagging, but I have seen way too many people carry rope in the backcountry for no reason at all.REI Monarch Boots – once you go to trailrunners you will never go backOR Rocky Mt High Gaiters- this obviously isn't a snow list, so these are way overkill. If you must have gaiters, look at the Integral Designs eVent Shorty Gaiters. 5 liters of water storage? If you like hydration bladder, platypus bladders are a lot lighter than camelback. I would think in Minnesota, you could get by with 2 liters.REI First Aid Kit – this has to be heavy, make your own kit for 2oz.Plastic Trowel – You could probably just use your heel or trekking poleLeatherman Blast – 6.9oz! You can easily have more knife than you need for under 1oz. I like the Spyderco Ladybug.Carbiners – You probably don't need these, I don't carry any anymore even for bear bagging, and haven't missed a thing.REI Double Wall Ti Mug – Ditch this and drink out of your pot.9L SS Pot – Try a Ti pot and a smaller .6L volume for solo use.Candle Lantern – Why would you need this when you have a headlamp.Instant Cold Packs – What in the heck are these?Bandanas – Most people are fine with oneTNF Shirt – Why this extra shirt? If you want something for sleeping in, you can get something lighterREI Sahara Down Bag – Obviously you could go a lot lighter here, but of course that costs money. BA Seedhouse SL2 – I owned and used a SL1 for years so I like the tents, but it is a bit much for solo use.
Ax- This is a pointless item to carry I admit. I like to have a little fire and since it is a little fire little wood on the ground works best.50ft nylon "rope"- this is just small cord for hanging food. I plan on replacing this for some better cord like spectra.REI Monarch boots- I got these for a birthday present. Since they were free I used themOR gaiters- yes these are overkill. I am better off just tucking my pant legs in my socks5L water storage- The camelbak bladder was something I already had. I can get by with just 2L of water so I guess I will ditch the bladder.First aid kit- this is heavy. I never use the moleskin or anything else really. I can probably just get by with some gauze and tape.trowel- I am going to ditch this.Leatherman- this is heavy. I like spyderco knives so thank you for the suggestion.carabiners- I can just use knots for now onREI double wall TI mug- will ditch this.9L SS pot- I will get the .6L TI pot as suggestedCandle Lantern- This is not needed. The light it gives me is totally uselessInstant Cold Packs- I have these because my friend I go with has bad knees. They are just like the compresses you put in your freezer. Kinda like the heat packs you can put in your gloves except they get cold instead of hot.Bandannas- I don't know why I carry two. I will ditch oneTNF shirt- this is a long sleeved shirt. I guess I can just wear this one without my short sleeved shirt underneath.REI Sahara bag- This was another gift I received. It is only 650 down I believe. I am going to get a nice quality down quilt to replace this.BA Seedhouse SL2- Another gift for a birthday. I am going to get a 8'x10' tarp and bug bivy to replace this.I am sorry for wasting everybody's time by not including weights with my gear list. I am going to weigh everything tomorrow so once I have the weights I will post my gear list again. I know this is a site for lightweight backpacking and my current list is a traditional gear list. I did not know anybody that backpacks when I got into it. Because of that I got what I thought was needed to go backpacking and have been very wasteful in doing so.I really want to make the switch to UL backpacking and that is why I am here. I feel very clueless about all of this. Again I am sorry for wasting everybody's time with this thread.
Not a waste of time at all. You have already learned alot. Keep reading! Edit the list as you go and watch the weight you carry shrink. I think it is safe to say that almost all of us started carrying heavy stuff, you will get to your comfort weight in time. Unfortunately it takes alot of time and money to figure it out. Your knowledge is the best thing you can carry, it ways nothing.Think about adding a balaclava for your head at night.Investigate the cookset you want, find the pot that best fits your needs. i.e. if you want a caldera cone setup, find the pot you want first that has a cone. You should never buy any piece of gear until you have checked its specs against what else is out there, this will help with the money aspect. The gear swap here is a great place to find some good transition gear. search and then search some more.
It seems like you're going to be off to a good start and I'll wait until you post weights, but just a couple of general comments after your last reply...Be careful grabbing any old cord for bear bagging. Some cord provides too much friction and if you have a good amount of food (several days or maybe several of your friends all sharing the same bagging system) you won't be able to pull it up the tree.For example, my first try was with Kelty triptease and it does not work well for bear bagging.My favorite bear bagging cord is the one Mountain Laurel Designs sells specifically for bear bagging.I've paired 40' of the MLD cord with a mini biner, cuben rock sack, and cuben stuff sack (all from Joe Valeska at Zpacks) for a complete bear bagging system that works awesome and weighs 1.54 ounces.
Mike,I live in Minnetonka. My transition to lightweight has taken plenty of money during the last 4 years. If you want to see and compare some actual gear for ideas before investing into further gear for yourself, email me at email@example.com. Among other gear, I can show you a modified 8x10 tarp bug free shelter (16 oz.). I'm now trying to figure out what shelter(s) to make out of cuben fiber.
Hi Mike,I am in mn too, and I also like having fires and using my little gasifying wood burning stove. Instead of using an axe a light weight option for splitting wood is to buy a Mora knife and baton the wood like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvlhXuweBj4 Not the best batoning job, but that is a Mora.And moras weigh less than 3 ounces. I think it is a perfect weight "splurge" for mn.
John,I've had the same problem with high friction on the Kelty Triptease on heavy bear bags. My solution so far has been to make hanging the bear bag a two-person effort... someone picks up a big stick and uses it to push the bag higher into the air, which essentially reduces the weight and allows it to be pulled as high as you want it. It's not a perfect solution, but so far it has been worth it for the reflective properties of the Triptease cord. Have you found a reflective bear bag cord with low friction?
Tim, is that picture of you up in the tree adjusting your bear bag...? :-)To answer your question, I didn't specifically look for a reflective line. I was more interested in something that glided nicely. The MLD cord is great but not reflective although it is bright green.
Hey Mike, we all start somewhere, and it's certainly no waste of time to ask for advice! Besides, I think you'll find that most people here LOVE to give advice about gear! It's an evolution, and it will take some time (and money) to change things out. Anyway, in regard to bear bagging, I found the Air Core stuff sold here in gear shop is great. In those northern MN trees it doesn't get held up like other cord I've tried in the past. Nice and light and won't knot up on itself, I use a hiking pole to boost up the bag while pulling to cord to help keep from cutting into the branch. I have a Virga and I love the pack, so I hope you enjoy yours too. Looking forward to your updated list, I think you'll be shocked at how much all the little "extras" are weighing you down!

"Tim, is that picture of you up in the tree adjusting your bear bag...? :-)"John -- hardly -- that's just where I sleep when I'm going ultra-super-light. Trees are comfy, stable and help improve your balance. :)

For visitors to the Allan W. Eckert web site:
Greetings. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions
you would like to address to me personally, whether about my books
or about these web site pages, I will endeavor to answer every e-mail
post just as quickly as possible, but please have patience. The
volume of mail received is considerable and often I am deeply engrossed
in my own research and writing, so there may be a delay. Research
trips sometimes require my being away from home for weeks, even
months, so this may well be the reason if you do not receive a reply
in a reasonable time.
And please, no requests for genealogical assistance. Since allowing
people the freedom to contact me if they wish, I have been absolutely
swamped with requests from those interested in establishing family
trees or just further information on an ancestor of many generations
past. Sorry, but I simply do not have the resources for trying to
answer such requests and my own research and writing does not allow
me to spare the luxury of time for such pursuits.
I also do request that those who write to me include their full
name and address. I do not like to receive letters in which the
writer does not identify himself at all or who only signs a first
So, then, for those who want to write to me, the e-mail address
is: email@example.com

Making Sense of Modern Art offers an extensive and engaging guide to modern and contemporary works in SFMOMA's permanent collection. This section of the program explores the art movements of the 1960s and 1970s through the work of eight groundbreaking artists.
The 1960s and 1970s were a tremendously fruitful and experimental period in modern art. In the words of the art critic Kenneth Baker: "It was one of the last moments in which it was possible to believe that the work artists were doing in their studios would really affect the world." As the development of Pop art and Minimalism led to a break from the expressive, gestural aesthetics of the 1950s, many artists began to raise new questions about the production and consumption of art. An idealistic desire to reject the influences of the marketplace resulted in experimentation with site-specific works that addressed politics, the environment, and feminist concerns. The development of new technologies was also an important artistic impetus: among other innovations, this period witnessed the birth of the early video movement.

Safestrap recovery is similar to Bootstrap recovery but it is designed to be a safer alternative. The recovery is "safer" because you actually create a second system partition on your Razr and all of the files on your primary system partition are not actually modified. You can still flash any ROM of choice but you have an safety net in case things go wrong. You can also boot into recovery from your initial boot screen so if you find yourself stuck in a boot loop…don't worry.
Are you a little confused as to what all that means? In that case, this recovery solution is probably for you (don't worry you seasoned pros…this is a recovery for you too).
Be sure to check out our video on how to install a custom ROM using Safestrap recovery.

So I've been languishing these past few months. Watching the scale slow creep up and my bike gather a bit of dust in the corner of the bedroom (I moved it indoors when the cold, wet weather hit, though yesterday you couldn't tell). Without a goal in mind, or a plan in place, I find that I just don't have the motivation to get going. So to kick off the new year, I worked up a plan to get me back up to fighting distance (40 - 50 miles on any given weekend ride), and am trying to kick by Weight Watchers back into gear (I'll save that for another dissertation).
Anyway, my plan has me going at six days a week, with Thursdays off, and Mondays an easy recovery ride. I scheduled Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for some hill or interval work and Saturday for my long ride but I'm already thinking, I need to cut one of those days back to a straight, steady heartbeat ride like I do on Tuesdays because, they're hard. I mean they're really hard and I really sweat and my heart pounds and then I dread doing them and if I dread doing them, well, I don't.
But in the meantime, while the plan works well, I get up, I see what I have to do that day, I do it and for the most part I've stuck to it, I still have slip-ups. Like take Sunday for example. I woke up Sunday morning at 3:30am and could not fall back to sleep. I really did intend to ride that day but ended up falling asleep on the couch for two hours during the Giants game (and missed a good game to boot!), so I didn't get to ride. Okay - it wasn't the first time I skipped a Sunday ride, right?
Then today ... ah yes today. Well, Anna comes to my house today. I love Anna. For the last 12 years Anna has come to my house every other Wednesday and cleaned it. Sometimes I think I look forward to Anna coming more than I look forward to Chris coming home. I mean, she arrives with a smile, she dusts, vacuums and washes my floors, she makes very little chit chat, and she leaves with a smile. I cannot say the same for Chris.
Anyway, so if Anna was coming to clean, that meant I had to clean. Oh c'mon, you know you do it too! Everyone has to clean before the cleaning lady comes; it's a rule. The only problem? Because of the holiday, it's been four weeks since Anna came, which means there was four weeks of junk to be put away. Four weeks of receipts to be filed, bills to be paid (and yes, we had Christmas and Chanukah during that time) ... well I could go on but suffice it to say, my office was a disaster and needed some major attention before Anna could give it some major attention, not to mention the laundry, kids rooms, and the little "present" Fala apparently left for my mom in her room, in anticipation of her arrival in two weeks.
So, I spent the morning do all this stuff and then I spent a chunk of the afternoon doing it too. Then I had to get Sammi from school and take her to Religious School, then I had to come home and do some work though not nearly as much as I had hoped/intended, then I had t cook dinner, and oh shit, it's 8:00 and there's no flipping way I'm getting on that bike at 8:00pm!
What happens now? Guilt. Yes, as I sit here and type, feeling my belly trying to develop a bit of Dunlap Syndrome (you know, my belly done lapped over my jeans), I'm feeling guilty for not riding today (or for going to the gym this week to weight train but that's another dissertation).
Yet, here's what I love about journaling, even if it's out there for millions (well, okay maybe four or five of you) to read, as I'm writing this, I work things out. I realize, "There's always tomorrow!" (hey wasn't that a song). Anyway, I'm already going to the gym tomorrow to meet my trainer. And then I am going to Weight Watchers. And it was my off day, so after I meet Rain for lunch, there's no reason I can't come home, get on the bike, and do 10 - 15 miles, is there! And I do feel better having a nice clean office in which to work and a nice clean house in which to live.
See that's the great thing about plans, they can be modified. And that's the great thing about guilt, it can be mollified.
Oh, so if you see me on the SlowTrav forums tomorrow around 3:00est, tell me to get off and get riding!

Get Ready for the Northland Summer Jam! [VIDEOS]
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited for tomorrow night. One night for a ton of great music, and all for a great cause.
Proceeds from Northland Summer Jam will benefit the Northern Lights Foundation, a local non-profit that provides funds to families of children with life-threatening or debilitating conditions. The money can be used to help with medical costs, travel costs, or as needed by the family. And yes, it is a LOCAL non-profit. You'll know that the money you spend on admission for this event will help families in the Northland.
Still on the fence about whether or not you'll be at Clyde Iron Works tomorrow night for Northland Summer Jam? You won't be after you see these! Amazing. That's all I can say!

Meet Nora!September 14, 2012
Hi There!
Let me introduce myself—I'm Nora, and I'm the newest member of the CLEAR team. I came on board because, as someone who developed a strong wanderlust at an early age, I was so excited by the way CLEAR transforms travel.
I always say that I love to travel but hate traveling. That may seem like splitting hairs, but if you've ever missed a flight because security unexpectedly took 2 hours, or been bored out of your mind sitting at a gate because you overestimated how long security would take, then you know what I mean. So for me CLEAR is a no brainer, and I am thrilled to be part of a team dedicated to helping people like me begin to love the destination and love getting there.
While the speed and hassle-free travel may have been what caught my attention at first, after spending a few months at the company, I've realized that CLEAR's mission goes beyond simply speeding members through the airport. Each member of the CLEAR team, from our CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker to the attendants you see in the CLEAR lanes everyday, is completely committed to making flying more secure for every traveler. At its heart, CLEAR is a company with an important purpose and one I'm very proud to be a part of.
Please remember my inbox is always open, and I'd love to hear from you!

Extension Service: Posy pest
One more time: It may be pretty, but Mexican petunia is invasive in Southwest Florida
Two weeks ago, this column provided much-requested information about Mexican clover (Richardia species). Perhaps conspicuous by its absence, as some astute readers noted, was information about where this groundcover could be obtained.
That particular information was intentionally omitted because Mexican clover is not available commercially.
While this may be disappointing to some, it will be very good news to the sole reader who was surprised that I would recommend such a plant. The feedback received suggested the description of Mexican clover's propagation by thousands of tiny seeds indicated it should be placed on an invasive list, as it would "endanger" neighbors and would probably require frequent applications of weed killer to eliminate it.
While concern for the endangerment of neighbors is highly commendable, it might be a better idea to focus on endangerment to the environment. Mexican clover (also known as Florida pusley and monkey snow) poses no danger to neighbors. It poses no danger to the environment. It is not on any invasive species list.
However, Mexican petunia (Ruellia brittoniana/tweediana), the water-loving, blue-flowered plant installed everywhere, is.
Mexican petunia, also called Mexican bluebell, is listed in the Waterwise publication as an "Invasive Non-Native Plant," not recommended for landscaping. More importantly, it is listed as a Category I on the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (FLEPPC) List of Invasive Exotics, and has been on that list since 2001. See:
Category I means the plant is "… altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives."
Mexican petunia is a serious no-no for anyone claiming to be concerned with the environment, yet it has been planted, and continues to be planted, in both old and new communities throughout the area. With the current trend toward "building green," inclusion of Mexican petunia in landscapes is about as strange as it gets, and I was able to witness some strangeness firsthand.
At the request of the Florida Green Builders Coalition (FGBC), I recently visited a newly constructed home site, where the builder was seeking certification of the landscapes as "Florida-Friendly." The landscape plans were reviewed, prior to installation of course, by the FGBC. The FGBC representative informed me the builder was told, in no uncertain terms, the Mexican petunia had to be eliminated from the plans.
So why did I arrive for the inspection to see Mexican petunia prominently planted throughout the landscape? Your guess is as good as mine. There was really no reason to even get out of the car, and needless to say, certification was denied.
Obviously, the FGBC is not joking about this. It is unfortunate that "pretty" is more important than water conservation and preserving the environment.
There are a few cultivars of Mexican petunia on the commercial market, but they appear to be only slightly less aggressive in the landscape. For more information about Mexican petunia cultivars, visit the Commercial Horticulture page at the Extension Web site:
Under the heading Features on the left-hand sidebar, click on Local Fact Sheets A-Z. Choose M for Mexican petunia.
This brings us to the obvious question: Why do garden centers sell Mexican petunia?
That is a very good, obvious question and one for which I have been unable to find a good answer. Despite its presence on the FLEPPC list, Mexican petunia is not on the Department of Environmental Protection prohibited list — at least not yet. Besides, as with the water restrictions, doing the responsible thing voluntarily, before actual regulations are imposed, does not seem to be in our nature.

Open since: MayLocation: The restaurant is the first to open in Buford's new Buford Village center, located at the corner of Buford Highway and Hamilton Mill Road in Buford. Hours: Bella Vita is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12 to 10 p.m. Sunday. Owner: Laurie Attaway Atmosphere: Bella Vita, Italian for "beautiful life," is a restaurant abounding with modern charm. From the upholstery and linens to the locally created iron and glasswork art, the restaurant exudes an urban, upscale feel. Its location in the retail center has a large bay window and is lined with intimate tables for two and four. More tables, along with banquet seating in the back allow for approximately 100 people. In addition to the main dining room, Bella Vita, which is deceptively large, allows for large parties with two additional eating areas. The first is a large space, partitioned off with floor to ceiling curtains hosting a 12-person dining table, perfect for a large family gatherings. The second space is a back room, lined with wine racks and dark wood reminiscent of old-world Italy, which is available to reserve for special events. The restaurant plans to eventually offer family-style Italian dining for special groups. The restaurant's modest bar area offers high-top bar tables which face the open kitchen partitioned with glass for diners to watch. Menu: The restaurant's menu is stuffed with Italian ingredients. Appetizers include prosciutto and cantaloupe, calamari, mussels and a cheese plate. A classic Caesar and house salad accompany a caprese salad with tomatoes, mozzarella and olive oil. Specialties include a three cheese crab lasagna, made with jumbo shrimp and asparagus, along with a creamy gorgonzola walnut ravioli with artichokes, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. The menu's staples - spaghetti, fettucini, manicotti and chicken marsala - are all served with in-house created sauces. "One thing Bella Vita has going for it is its lunch," Attaway said. "It has a large menu at very affordable prices which make it a great place for a business lunch." For options other than pasta, the menu offers a filet mignon, thick cut pork chop and the favored lamb osso bucco, slow roasted with cippolini onions, mushrooms, olives and potato gnocchi. The desserts are all homemade classic dishes like tiramisu and panna cotta, an Italian dessert made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar and letting it set. It is served with fresh berries. Things you might not know: Restauranteur Laurie Attaway also owns and operates downtown Buford's Aqua Terra, 37 Main: A Speakeasy and Third Coast Grille at Lake Lanier. She also plans to open Bin 33 Wine Boutique next door to Bella Vita soon. Bin 33 will be a retail store to sell wine from small vineyards all over the world and host wine tastings and special events. SideBar: On The Menu Items can change seasonally: Creamy gorgonzola walnut ravioli with artichokes, spinach and sundried tomatoes: $17* Three cheese crab lasagna topped with jumbo shrimp served with asparagus: $25 Washington State salmon served with sundried tomato polenta, marinated portabellos and white truffle oil: $23 *represents dinner entree prices
