It is interesting how the only person interviewed for the article was previously homeschooled.
Insight into a student's life, 10 November 2007, Burnett County Sentinel, Grantsburg, Wisconsin
These students come from a variety of backgrounds and have chosen to enroll in the Insight School for a number of reasons.
Some chose Insight in order to access classes not available at their own school, others have selected it as an alternative to the home schooling in which they were engaged, and for some students with jobs, the freedom from the regular school day offers the flexibility needed to accommodate their busy lives.
For 15-year-old Emma Foss of Osceola, the decision to enroll in the Insight School was made as an alternative to the home schooling from which she had previously been learning.
No one can tell another person which experience is "better" because we all have our preferences, but this article's focus seems to be this virtual public school's superiority only over homeschooling.
"I think it's better than home school because you get to interact with more people, and I think it's better than public school because you're not around all of the bad things that happen, but you still get to see what other peoples' points of view are on things."

To the Editor: I feel compelled to share an inspiring event that occurred two days prior to Thanksgiving. On our weekly grocery trip to Super One, we checked out and parked the car next to the exit. Then, I accompanied my elderly mother, who is seeing-impaired, to the nearest bench to wait while I retrieved a food order from McDonald's. Returning in 10 minutes, we headed home. Upon arriving home, I glanced in the back seat...
To the Editor: I would like to use this opportunity to thank the kind and honest person who turned in to Super One my cash box (from the Craft Show) that I inadvertently (old age excuse) left in a shopping cart after the recent craft show. I also thank the Super One employee who received the box and brought it to the Service Counter. My wife called Super One and they had it there. So I went from feeling quite angry at myself to an increased faith in humanity. There are good people in our society. Thanks again, Bob Cresap, Cloquet
I am writing to clarify points made in last week's guest commentary by Enbridge Energy's Lorraine Little about the Carlton County Land Stewards and our activities to engage the public about the proposed Sandpiper Pipeline. The recent "Democracy in Action" forums were organized by the UMD Geography Department and students from the MN Public Interest Research Group.
Kirsten Rye, a seventh-grader at Esko's Lincoln Middle School, has been dancing since the age of 2. And now, at the ripe old age of 12, all her hard work and self-discipline will pay off as Kirsten dances the feature role of Clara in the Minnesota Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker" later this month. "Being Clara, as Kirsten Rye will be, is the dream of many ballet students across the country," attested Betsy Holcomb of the Minnesota Ballet. This is not Kirsten's first performance in "The Nutcracker," however.
After years of miscommunication born from land ownership issues, a University of Minnesota research center and neighboring Native American tribe are working to find common ground. The University's Cloquet Forestry Center is located on the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation, and the two parties are now working to resolve communication issues and share the land. The LaPointe Treaty of 1854 created the Fond du Lac reservation, which is just more than 100,000 acres in size, and gave the tribe certain rights to the entire property, including the rights to hunt, fish and gather
If you're ever around kids for any extended period of time -- or even a not so extended period of time -- you'll observe firsthand they come up with some interesting, unique, hysterical and brutally honest observations about the world as they perceive it. My own offspring are no exception. When I find myself grinning or pondering something they've said, I jot it down, to remember, reminisce and share with others, here.
When Debora Zauhar started her job as jail administrator at the Carlton County Jail in 1983, data management wasn't done in the digital realm, as it is now. "Until we started utilizing computers for our data management," Zauhar said, "we used huge leather-bound register books which required the entry of statistical information." As Zauhar is able to demonstrate in so many ways, things at the jail have certainly changed in the 30-plus years since she was hired by Sheriff Terry Twomey, and they'll continue to change after her retirement, which is right around the corner. Zauhar has been witne
You've heard of baptism by fire? Such was the beginning of World War II for Barnum graduate Donald Long. A member of the Barnum High School Class of 1939, Long started in the Navy in March 1941 after a stint in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Tofte, Minn. By Dec. 7, he had been stationed at Kaneohe Bay Naval Air Station -- across the island of Oahu from Pearl Harbor -- as part of the VP-12 squadron for a few months.

Zut alors! London-Paris 2011 sells out in fifteen minutes!
Organisers set to anounce details of new three-day fully supported sportive in the Alps
Previous News
The 2011 London-Paris ride, entries for which opened yesterday at noon, sold out in an unprecedented 15 minutes, described as an "amazing" response by organisers, who have told disappointed would-be participants to keep an eye out for details of a new, multi-stage sportive in the Alps later this year that will be launched soon.
Reacting to yesterday's clamour for places on the four-day ride between the British and French capitals, Sven Thiele of organisers Hot Chillee, said: "This is amazing. We thought the demand for places in 2010 was incredible, with the event selling out in just 20 hours, but this uptake has taken even us by surprise. It's testimony to this unique event and its popularity which increases year on year.
"We understand that there must be disappointed riders who have not managed to enter; we hope that they place themselves on the reserve list or consider The Alpine Challenge in September which is our new multi-day cyclosportive taking place in the Alps".
The Alpine Challenge, which will take place next September over three days, will follow a similar format to the London-Paris event, including professional support, rolling road closures and motorbike.
Full details will be announced shortly, and of course we will report them here on road.cc as soon as they become available.
A marketing man would suggest that they under priced entries if they sold out that quickly!

an editor type might wonder if there's much point giving an event coverage if it's going to sell out so quickly that most of those reading about it won't have a chance of entering anyway
Still I suppose we will give more details on this when we get 'em it's for charity and all… how many people are doing this ride again?

I would suggest that taking only what's necessary and giving the option, to those who really can well afford it, to give more, would allow everyone access to the event, promote good will toward the charity and have people complementing how much they got for their money not how little, a winner all round. Just because something is popular doesn't by definition mean it should only be for the rich. If more companies (and yes banks) did this we wouldn't be in the pickle we are now.

I imagine there is a logistical element to this specific ride that means numbers need to be kept within certain limits - Channel crossing, accommodation/meals, impact of large group of riders in terms of escort, road closures etc?

Bauer is fantastic, I really hope they should hurry up with the movie if they're going to get on with it!
by Ron Gaudio
Albert Speer was a talented, young architect in Germany when he caught the attention of a charismatic politician named Adolph Hitler. The star-struck Speer was drafted to be a part of Hitler's inner circle. Hitler, once an aspiring architect himself, greatly admired Speer's ability. When Hitler came to power, Speer was put to work building the structures that represented the Third Reich such as the Reich Chancellery. To Speer, this was a dream come true. His parents tried to warn him about this new, charismatic leader, but they didn't understand that opportunities like this present themselves only once in a lifetime.
When the war started, Speer realized that sometimes war is necessary to protect the welfare and honor of a country. He thought about the recent threats to the Germany, both internal and external. Hitler's political enemies burned the Reichstag. The Polish army destroyed a German radio station on the border. (Of course, we now know that both of these events were false flag operations perpetrated by Hitler himself.)
When the war intensified, Hitler pulled Speer off of architecture and put him in charge of armaments and munitions. This was an area that he had little experience, but he would do anything for his Fuhrer. After all, Hitler had the safety and security of the Heimatland (translated "homeland") in mind. It also made sense to round up those undesirables — Jews and others — who were a threat to the liberties of the German nation. It was appropriate for them to be put in work camps so that they could contribute to the German cause. Speer was in charge of this forced labor. There were rumors, of course, that terrible atrocities were occurring there, but Speer had no time to verify these and besides, one should not believe every rumor, especially in time of war.
One day, while Speer was at headquarters, a friend and fellow officer, Karl Hanke, came to visit him. Speer's account was as follows,
" …sitting in the green leather easy chair in my office, he seemed confused and spoke falteringly, with many breaks. He advised me never to accept an invitation to inspect a concentration camp in Upper Silesia (Auschwitz). Never under any circumstances. He had seen something there which he was not permitted to describe and moreover could not describe."
Speer went on, "…I did not query him…I did not investigate- for I did not want to know what was happening there."
Several years later, Speer found himself on trial at Nuremberg. Some historians think that Speer knew much more than he let on and that he devised this ignorance story to protect himself from the death penalty. We probably will never know the truth. Speer served 20 years at Spandau prison, and was released in 1966. He lived off royalties from his book, Inside the Third Reich, which a sympathetic guard smuggled out of prison page by page. He died in 1981.
Let's give Speer the benefit of the doubt and assume his story is true and that he chose to remain in ignorance of the Nazi atrocities. Did his willful denial exonerate him from his responsibility to do what was right? Nuremberg said no. Yet, today, many Americans think that willfully remaining ignorant exonerates them from the responsibility to stand against tyranny. There are rumors of CIA black sites (secret prisons), extraordinary rendition, and torture. Throughout the world "terrorists" are held without trial, tortured and even killed for the sake of the security of the "homeland."
In 2006, presidential adviser, John Yoo, said that the President had the legal authority to torture the child of a suspect, including crushing the child's testicles, to extract information. Major General Antonio Taguba, in his Army Report investigating Abu Ghraib, confirmed that unreleased photos showed rapes of women and children. And then there is the well known water boarding, a technique borrowed from the Spanish Inquisition. These same policies begun by Bush are now continuing under Obama.
Nothing has changed.
The government's policy of mistreatment and torture is reinforced by propaganda, especially in popular media; consider the television series 24 and the main character Jack Bauer.
Americans don't seem to care when the abuse involves people in other countries. Yet all that is changing. A 2003 federal appeals court ruling stated that American citizens can be deemed as "enemy combatants" and imprisoned indefinitely, without trial, all for the sake of national security. Thousands of Americans have been put on no-fly lists without a hearing. The Department of Homeland Security and the MIAC report has labeled gun owners, Christians, conservatives, home-schoolers, and Ron Paul supporters as potential terrorists. This is a typical pattern. The government marginalizes certain groups and then eventually rounds them up.
Then the tyranny spreads to the rest of society.
Unless we wake up and put a stop to this, the government will continue to encroach upon liberties and freedoms of the American people. We will end up living in a totalitarian police state. If we pretend that these problems don't exist, then it will only get worse. If we are awake to these matters, then we must try to wake others up.
Speer tried to solve the problem by looking the other way. Denial is a common human defense mechanism. But, history shows us that denial does not work. As he reflected back, Speer stated, "Those seconds (when Hanke informed Speer, and Speer did not inquire) were uppermost in my mind when I stated to the international court at the Nuremberg Trial that as an important member of the leadership of the Reich, I had to share the total responsibility for all that has happened. For from that moment on, I was inescapably contaminated morally; from fear of discovering something which might have made me turn my course, I had closed my eyes."
"One seldom recognizes the devil when he is putting his hand on your shoulder."
-Albert Speer

Holographic Repatterning is a complete system
of therapy designed to correct any undesirable condition, Physical, Emotional,
Mental or Social.
The founder of this system - Chloe Faith Wordsworth, a therapist with over 30 years of experience in a variety of healing systems observed that the most important factor determining the effectiveness of a particular therapy was in fact the person being treated. Different therapies worked with varying degrees of success on different people.
Holographic Repatterning therapists view the human being as essentially holographic in nature. A holographic image changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed in a similar way any human condition can be viewed in a myriad of different ways.
Negative human experiences such as physical or emotional pain, illness, disease, failure and other inadequacies are described by Holographic Repatterning practitioners as 'non-coherent frequencies'. The aim is to identify and rectify these frequencies, turning them from life depleting energy blocks to life enhancing flows.
The therapist will use discussion and examination, perhaps utilizing the unconscious bio-feedback technique called 'muscle testing' to identify the location and nature of energy blockages. Once identified the blockage can be cleared and the patients condition improved.
This page is devoted to providing you with information
about Holographic Repatterning therapy. If you are an organisation
or individual with considerable experience in the field of Holographic
Repatterning therapy and would like to submit an article providing information
about Holographic Repatterning then please email us - firstname.lastname@example.com We

Bring Your Life into Harmony.
When was the last time that what you did, spoke, thought and felt were synchronized with each other?
Your stomach is rumbling, but you don't feel like eating. You're uttering words, but don't believe what you're saying. You want to feel gratitude, but somehow it escapes you.
How often have we felt this dissociation in our lives?
When our mind, body and emotions don't align with each other, we are dissociated from ourselves. There is a separation between parts of you that are meant to make you whole.
Most of the time, this disconnection occurs because we have responsibilities toward other people and things or it's a cultivated habit. At those junctions, we have not yet developed the mindset to easily have our actions, thoughts and words be synchronized. Other times the separations between what we say and feel, between what we feel and think, between our intuition and our actions, are a matter of discord and emotional unrest.
How many times during the day, week or month do we pay attention to the disparity between our parts? This dissimilarity has a sneaky way of getting into the fibers of our body when we're working, teaching and engaging in our relationships.
Unfortunately, modern age does not allow for personal congruity to be a priority.
Bringing harmony within our elements is a task that has to be made a continual responsibility for it to become a habit.
But every time we notice that we are dissociated from one critical part of ourselves, we move one step closer to perhaps one day, alleviating our internal separation in everyday life, thus allowing our parts to become the whole it was meant to be, little by little, moment by moment.
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony" ~ M. Gandhi

Why doesn't "every other day" repeat?
I have a daily tasks project, and I want half the list to repeat every other day starting today, and the other half to repeat every other day starting tomorrow. I've divided the tasks and entered the due dates on all of them accordingly.
When I look at my weekly list, however, it only shows up for today and tomorrow - it doesn't repeat. I've used "ev other day starting 25. jun" and "ev other day starting 26. jun" as well as "every other day", "every other day starting tomorrow", and "every other day starting 25. jun" formatting. I'm using Firefox.

Co-op seems to have the most bugs from what I have noticed. Which is strange, because I only encountered one or two problems with the the AI.

The Titans might not be ready to make it official just yet, but it is coming. Rookie middle linebacker Colin McCarthy needs to be the starter for the remainder of the season and beyond. McCarthy has played the past three games (two starts) for the Titans while Barrett Ruud has nursed a groin injury. Ruud was signed to a one-year contract just after the lockout ended and was expected to at least hold the position this season while the Titans evaluated what they had in McCarthy, a fourth-round pick from the University of Miami. Now 11 games into the season, the Titans can be certain that what they have in McCarthy: a playmaker who is seemingly always around the football creating havoc. There are two types of defensive players -- some who find the football, and others whom the football finds. In that regard, McCarthy is certainly of the former variety. In three games filling in for Ruud, McCarthy has posted 32 tackles, including five for losses. He forced a fumble Nov. 20 against...

Taking Chances on Yemen
10:38 AM, Jan 3, 2010 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
The American and British embassies in Yemen have been closed reportedly in response to an al Qaeda threat. The Associated Press reports:Â
White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan said the American Embassy, which was attacked twice in 2008, was shut Sunday because of "indications al-Qaida is planning to carry out an attack against a target inside of San'a, possibly our embassy."
The American and British embassies in Yemen have been closed reportedly in response to an al Qaeda threat. The Associated Press reports:Â
Two related items come immediately to mind -- both of them related to former Guantanamo detainees. First, the American embassy in Sanaa was attacked in September 2008. 19 people, including one American, were killed in the attack. The New York Times has reported that the #2 deputy of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), Said al Shihri, is suspected of playing a leading role in planning that attack. Said al Shihri is a former Gitmo detainee who was transferred to the Saudis during the Bush administration, attended the Saudi rehabilitation program, and then returned to terrorism. Second, another former Gitmo detainee, Hani Abdo Shaalan, was reportedly killed on December 17 by Yemeni forces as he was preparing to take part in an attack on the British embassy. Shaalan was one of the comparatively few Yemeni detainees the Bush administration transferred back to Yemeni custody. The Yemeni government failed to keep him from returning to terrorism. Given the ostensible ties between former Gitmo detainees and previous attacks and plots against the embassies in Yemen, it is natural to ask: What role are former Gitmo detainees playing in the current threats? Moreover, both of these examples highlight the mistakes made during the Bush administration with respect to detainee transfers. Let us remember that the Bush administration itself wanted to close Gitmo and in an effort to do so agreed to a large number of suspect transfer decisions. Yet, the Obama administration is apparently determined to make more suspect transfer decisions. Just this morning, John Brennan, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism, told CNN that the Obama administration is still committed to transferring Yemeni detainees to the cesspool that is Yemen. In December, for example, the Obama administration transferred Ayman Batarfi from Gitmo to Yemen. Batarfi is a known al Qaeda doctor who attended to wounded jihadists during the battle of Tora Bora, met with bin Laden at Tora Bora, and has admitted ties to al Qaeda's anthrax program. Despite all of this and more, Batarfi, who has been a committed jihadist for decades, was deemed one of the most transfer-worthy detainees by the Obama administration.

The Precious Commodity Of Water
Munich, Germany (SPX) Sep 13, 2010
Water is a valuable resource, which is why the Fraunhofer Alliance SysWasser is demonstrating how we can extract precious drinking water from air, discover a leak in pipeline systems and even effectively clean sewage water at the IFAT/Entsorga fair.
As the General Assembly of the UN resolved on July 28 of this year, clean drinking water and basic sanitary provision are human rights. Unfortunately, there are more than one billion people all over the world who do not have access to drinking water, while as many as 2.6 billion people live without any sanitary systems at all - that is well over one-third of the world's population.
Not only that, water is a pre-eminent economic factor because agriculture and industry consume more than four-fifths of this precious commodity these days. A study by the UN indicates that in future water will be more important in strategic terms than petroleum.
This is the reason why 14 Fraunhofer institutes have joined forces in the Fraunhofer Alliance SysWasser to come up with sustainable water system technologies. They will be unveiling "Research for Tomorrow's Water Utilization" in hall A4, stand 201/302 at the IFAT/Entsorga fair.
Drinking Water from the Air
The hygroscopic brine is then pumped into a tank that stands a couple of meters high and contains a vacuum. Then, energy from solar collectors heats up the brine and the evaporated salt-free water condenses over a distillation bridge. The brine concentrates again and flows down on the surface of the tower to absorb humidity in the air.
This process is exclusively based on regenerative sources of energy such as simple solar collectors and photovoltaic cells, meaning that this method is completely energy self-sufficient.
That means that it functions in areas where there is no electrical infrastructure. This process is particularly well suited for extracting drinking water in arid and semi-arid areas where more water evaporates than precipitation falls.
Managing Drinking Water Systems
First of all, the drinking water system is recorded and modeled in the computer because that is the best way to figure out the optimum operating regime for these systems, or to plan how to expand supply systems.
Beyond this, the system can automatically localize leaks. This is the reason why this software solution is already being used in Mongolia, Libya and Saudi Arabia as well as at the department of works in some German cities.
Tracking Down Leaks
Diamonds Clean Sewage Water
This highly effective oxidant destroys all substances containing carbon, meaning the organic pollution load of solvents right down to bacteria and pesticides. The only things that remain are harmless salts and carbon dioxide that escape as gases.
This is how we can produce germ-free water without any problems. Researchers will demonstrate how this technique functions at their fair stand using the example of the textile dye indigo carmine, because the discolored water can be easily stripped of its color in an electrochemical cell with diamond electrodes.
Money-Saving Disposal
This is the reason why researchers at Fraunhofer have devised a low-cost modular vacuum evaporation process where the waste water is thickened in a vacuum at temperatures from approx. 40 degrees -50 degrees C. The waste water can be easily heated up with waste or solar heat and the desalinized water can even be used in production again.
More Biogas from Sewage Sludge
Researchers at Fraunhofer have come up with a process to reduce the volume and mass of sewage sludge where a portion of the sludge is treated with ultrasound and then mechanically disintegrated.
The residues processed in this fashion supply more biogas which means that they can be more easily drained. This new process has already been successfully applied to sewage treatment plants.
Researchers at Fraunhofer will be showcasing these and other solutions for sustainable water supply at their joint stand. In addition to this, the Fraunhofer Water Systems Alliance will be presenting "Research for Tomorrow's Water Utilization" in a seminar starting at 4 p.m. on September 16 in the forum of hall B1.

Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb announced the renaming during Friday's Long Purple Line reception, where Gallaspy family members were gathered for the induction of Mary Rives Gallaspy into Northwestern State's alumni hall of distinction.
"Mary Rives Gallaspy was a kind, generous, service-oriented lady who became blessed with resources and knew well how to manage them," Webb said. "Her compassion for others during her lifetime was exemplary, but was even more so in her death. When she passed away in December 2010, her generous estate was directed toward the enhancement of the lives of many."
Last year, the Gallaspy family announced a bequest to Northwestern State University that includes property in DeSoto Parish, as well as a monetary donation that together created the Mary Rives Gallaspy Charitable Trust administered by the NSU Foundation board of directors. Income from the trust funds two scholarships: the Hettie McMullen Fincher Scholarship in Mathematics and the Mary Rives Gallaspy Scholarship for Business and Education. The Fincher scholarship honors Gallaspy's aunt, who graduated from Normal, as Northwestern State was then known, in 1908. A branch of the Gallaspy family also established the Mary Leigh Marshall Gallaspy Endowed Scholarship for Family and Consumer Sciences.
Gallaspy was known for her generosity and involvement in her community. She was born in Pelican in 1925 and graduated from Northwestern State College in 1946. She did post-graduate study at the University of Colorado and the University of Arkansas, where she received her master's degree. Gallaspy taught business and Louisiana history at Pelican High School from 1945-1971. She served as sponsor of the Future Business Leaders of America and transported many students to district and state FBLA meetings, as well as musical events, conventions and other activities. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, serving as MU chapter president from 1958-60 and 1968-70. She was Epsilon state secretary from 1959-61. For many years she was active in the DeSoto Parish Retired Teachers Association.
Gallaspy was a lifelong member of the Pelican Baptist Church. She served as chairman of the fundraising committee for the new Fellowship Hall, which was totally paid for when completed. She donated a piano and an organ to the church in honor of her parents, John Baker and Lillian McMullen Gallaspy, a 1913 graduate of Normal, and her aunt and uncle, Hettie and Earl Fincher. In addition, she donated property for the expansion of the Pelican Cemetery, and donated several Pelican town lots to the Pelican Baptist and Pelican United Methodist churches.
Gallaspy was also the owner of Rocking G Farms, a cattle and timber business in DeSoto Parish. She established two subdivisions in the Stonewall area, Pelican Place North and The Meadows.
Through the years, Gallaspy was a caregiver to many elderly relatives and friends in her hometown of Pelican. After her father's death, she and her mother moved to Shreveport. When her mother became ill and two of her aunts also needed care, Gallaspy provided them a home and met their needs. The other half of Gallaspy's extensive holdings were made available to the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home.
Dr. Vickie Gentry, dean of the College of Education and Human Development, said faculty in the college voted for the renaming and expressed full support of the initiative.
"Miss Gallaspy's gift to Northwestern will provide the resources for the university to award scholarships to deserving students for decades to come," Gentry said. "Students now and for future generations will benefit from Miss Gallaspy's remarkable generosity in establishing substantial scholarship funds at her alma mater that will continue to perpetuate the lifetime of philanthropy and service for which she will be long remembered and appreciated."
"The funds available to the NSU Foundation are primarily in support of scholarships for students majoring in education, business, mathematics and related fields of study. Thanks to Miss Gallaspy's vision and generosity, the Foundation awarded Northwestern State students the largest number and dollar amounts in private scholarships in school history this fall," Webb said. "It is with this deep kinship and high esteem I feel for every member of the Gallaspy family that I proposed the Gallaspy (Family) College of Education and Human Development as the title of the area that has been the cornerstone of Northwestern since its founding in 1884 as an institution of higher education dedicated to the preparation of excellent teachers and school personnel."
In detailing his family's long relationship with Northwestern State, John N. Gallaspy, executor, described his cousin's rural upbringing as one in which education, religion and family were top priorities.
"This environment supplemented by her later years of higher education and followed by her career as a teacher produced the personality and mindset of Mary Rives Gallaspy. When she signed her last will and testament, she was enunciating the theme that shaped her," John Gallaspy stated. "The Gallaspy family as a whole has been touched for many years by the institution known as Northwestern. The Normal has enriched our lives for generations."

Del Mar, CA View Map
Due to the extreme conditions created by living 500 feet from the ocean, owner/builder David Begent had durability and sustainability in the forefront of his mind when designing his Del Mar, California beach house. The home is situated 10 ft. above sea level, and has significant prevailing winds. In addition, salt-water corrosion (which deteriorates many materials in beach areas) was a major concern. As David and his wife Molly were headed into retirement, they wanted to keep maintenance to a minimum.
Concrete has always been a favorite building material of David Begent's. He has been intrigued with the artistic and creative aspects, along with the structural characteristics for a number of years. His twenty-plus years as a general contractor in the San Diego area and use of concrete in his own home, business office and many other client projects is testimony to his belief in the durability of concrete from its structural to decorative forms.
In order to combine the functional needs of his new home with his design ideas, David Begent consulted with Tri-Co Floors, the installation contractor and Artflor®, Inc. the precast concrete manufacturer. While it was critical to him to use durable "green" products, he also desired to promote environmental consciousness in the process. David, and Molly wanted to send a message to beach-goers passing their home to "respect the beach" and think about things such as the negative impact of littering. Artflor®, Inc. engineered a process to produce smooth lettering on 1 ⅟2" pavers with a light exposed sand texture for extra slip resistance. Tri-Co Floors worked with David to figure out an installation system incorporating synthetic grass grout lines. The "grass grout" with a drainage system was also used with 20" Artflor® exterior tile (3/4" thick) in the backyard. This was also incorporated with Artflor® TC monolithic trowel on concrete coating in the backyard as an accent butting up to the 20" tile (see photos).
Tri-Co and Artflor® also worked with David on site to create the integrally colored monolithic concrete topping (custom color used in the above accent also) , which was installed on the exterior front walkway and stairs, front entry of the house and hallway leading through the kitchen and dining room, and on outwards to the exterior back patio. The leading line of the concrete from exterior to interior, and back from interior to exterior was intentionally designed by David to promote the open indoor/outdoor southern California living his family desires.
Details of amount of concrete used:
159 sq. ft. of 1 ½" thick Artflor® Lightweight Concrete Countertops with Seashell Inlays. Countertops contain approximately 30% post-consumer recycled content
1,400 sq. ft. of Artflor® Monolithic 1/8" Architectural Concrete Custom colored integral topping (trowel applied)
765 sq. ft. of 20"x 20" Artflor® Lightweight Concrete Pavers. All exterior pavers have an etched texture for added slip resistance, some with and some without glass inlays. Includes 30 pavers with lettering of "Respect The Beach", "Don't Litter" and "Think Peace" (10 of each saying). Pavers contain approximately 30% post-consumer recycled content with additional pre-consumer recycled content. Numerous Concrete Planter Boxes, walkways etc.

'The Biggest Loser: Couples' Season Finale: And the Winner Is ... (VIDEO)
While sisters Hannah and Olivia were locks for competing for the $250,000 prize, Jay and Irene had their fates handed to them by America's vote. So they came out at the top of the hour and both looked absolutely fantastic -- though Irene should be careful about doing high kicks in a dress when coming through a paper picture of herself.
When the votes were tallied, they established a new 'Biggest Loser' first. For the first time, all three finalists were women as Irene took the vote and sent Jay to compete in the "At-Home" prize. But, as it started and as it ended on the Ranch, it ultimately came down to the sisters.
With Hannah standing by Alison's side as the current leader and Olivia on the scale, one of them would be crowned the winner of 'The Biggest Loser: Couples 4.'
Hannah had dropped 120 lbs, or 48.39 percent of her total body weight. In order to beat her, Olivia needed to lose more than 126 lbs. She lost 129. At 49.43 percent Hannah lost nearly half her body weight, saw her husband slim down as well at home and now they have $250,000 to catapult them into the next chapter of their lives.
And possibly the only person there happier than Olivia and her husband was her sister Hannah. If you've got to lose a game like this, it has to make it a lot easier to swallow if you lose to your big sister.

"I saved a kitten from a cactus patch and nursed him back to health!" {Photos}
When we help others who truly need it in a manner that is truly helpful—when we practice compassion—we live life fully.
Via Reddit:
"The cactus patch is huge, but all of the cacti have very tiny needles. There is very little room for kittens to crawl around underneath. It was impossible for us to reach in without tearing ourselves up on the needles. On top of that, the mother cat would attack us if we got close. So basically, he was crawling around under the cactus just gathering needles for the first 3 weeks of his life.
The night we finally got him out, he was blindly dragging himself along the top of a cactus looking for his mom. We plucked him and ran before mom tore us a new butthole.
He was covered in abscesses, fleas, and thousands of cactus needles. We took him to the emergency vet and they kept him overnight to give him antibiotics and to try to clean him up a bit…
…He had some deep ulcers in both eyes when he first opened them, and the vet gave us some Tobramycin drops to give him. The ulcers cleared up, but he has some visible permanent eye damage in the left eye (He has a milky scar near the edge of his eye).
It doesn't seem to bother one bit, outside of messing with his depth perception a little. He still races around at full speed and plays like any other kitten."

Lawn & garden equipment for homeowners
Size: 79.44 kB
For North American media enquiries, please contact Ketchum.
The Husqvarna Global Gardening Trend Report incorporated interviews with over 6,000 people from eight countries* and asked a series of questions relating to gardening and how the development of technology may impact future behavior. Insights were gained into current trends and how social, cultural, economic and technological forces shape how homeowners with all sizes of yards spend their time and money.
In a summary of U.S. findings, the report revealed:
• When asked about their vision of the yard of the future, 38% of the 1,000 U.S. homeowners surveyed suggested one that is entirely self-maintaining.
– 26% want a yard that is a "self-sufficient ecosystem."
• One in five people across all countries surveyed (U.S., Britain, France, Scandinavia, Russia) see a benefit of technology to automate lawn care tasks.
• Twenty percent of Americans surveyed feel the economic downturn affects their future gardening plans.
– Twenty-three percent want to grown their own food. Visions of the Future
The research findings have culminated in stunning visions of the future, focused on the use of our outdoor space and how ongoing technological developments may affect usage. These scenarios have been determined taking in to consideration current and future social and cultural concerns including the economy and the environment.

There's something incredibly cathartic about chopping off your locks. Maybe it's the thrill (and slight terror) you feel when your ponytails fall to the ground in one swift snip. Maybe it's the fact that you suddenly feel that much cooler strolling down the street with your daring new 'do. But how are you supposed to know if you're really ready to rock a shorter style, or if it's just a passing whim brought on after seeing pictures of Emma Watson's pixie, circa 2010?
We asked Edward Tricomi, celeb hairstylist and co-founder of Warren-Tricomi salons in NYC, for his thoughts. "Deciding to go short is a really personal decision that should not be done spur-of-the-moment, [since most] women tend to be very particular about their hair," he says. He recommends asking your hairstylist and yourself a couple of key questions to make sure you won't regret your chop later.

Govt. investigates shrimpers in Gulf turtle deaths
GULFPORT, Miss. - GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - Federal fisheries officials are investigating whether aggressive shrimpers are killing endangered sea turtles that have been washing up on Gulf Coast beaches with no signs of oil, an official said Wednesday.
Investigators will look at whether some shrimp boats taking part in an emergency shrimping season ahead of the Gulf oil spill removed devices from their nets that are intended to allow turtles to escape, said Sheryan Epperly, sea turtle team leader for the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Wildlife officials say at least 35 endangered sea turtles have washed up on Gulf coast beaches, but it's not clear what's killing them. Necropsies have shown no signs of oil.
The Washington, D.C.-based conservation group Oceana has said officials need to determine what is killing the turtles quickly. Some experts have speculated the turtles may have eaten fish contaminated by the oil spill.
Shrimping has long been blamed for sea turtle deaths. Shrimpers are required to install grid-like devices in their nets that are designed to allow turtles to escape. Shrimpers caught without the turtle excluder devices - or TEDs - may be fined thousands of dollars and have their catch seized by federal regulators.
Still, some are reluctant to invest $800 on the TEDs or are angry over the extra work they create aboard the shrimp boats, so they gamble they won't be caught.

Yabba Dabba DON'T. In the late '90's NASCAR was prime time—but this is one paint job that should've been cancelled. Lake Speed is a former World Karting Champion, defeating the likes of seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, but I don't think Schuey or even Ralf would have the bad taste to pilot this sled in public. Truth be told, there were a number of Cartoon Network paint schemes that season, however, this one is particularly hideous.

Paula in Color
Hi there. It's Kate (for once). Julia and I were talking last night about Fiona Ellis' Paula and how it's the prettiest pattern she's done for us yet... though Bonnie is neck and neck with it for me. We were wondering what it might look like in a color. The Valley Yarns Stockbridge comes in lots of great colors, so I thought I'd show you the possibilities.
And here are some colors:
Didn't even show you their Red Purple which is gorgeous but, sadly, backordered...
Ooh. Wonder what it would look like in a semi solid! Sadly that's beyond my photo editing skills. How would you want your Paula?
Guest Post: Choosing Yarns for Sundog
by Kristi Schuler
originally posted on Kristi's blog, Fiberfool.
My goal for Sundog was to make a fun-to-knit but relatively quick project that would work well for both boys and girls. Everyone I know who has had children in the last 5 years has had boys. We all know there are tons of fun girl patterns out there, but it can be more difficult to find a fun boy pattern.
I felt a splash of handpainted yarn would spice things up a bit without the result being overly flashy or needing to worry about breaking up any pooling or flashing. I also wanted a design that could grow with the child(ren) and get more than one season's worth of wear out of it. This inspired the fold-back cuffs on the sweater. Many children grow taller, getting longer arms and torsos without gaining much in circumference. Since the sweater has no shaping, I suggest knitting the sleeves and torso to the perfect length right now, then add the extra border.
The cuff border is knit with the wrong side out so when folded back it matches the yoke and bottom body, but the wrong side of the stitch pattern is pretty as well so the following year the cuffs can be worn without folding back. Of course it is knit from the top down so you could also rip back and add more length to either portion as well! The really adventurous could even add more circumference to the sweater by steeking it at the sides and adding in gusset panels!
In my original proposal swatch I chose a yarn with short lengths of many colors for the handpainted yarn and a coordinating solid that appeared in the multi-color yarn. This created a softer look to the striping - almost a watercolor look. For the look in the magazine, coordinating — but not matching — colors were chosen. That is the look I would recommend for yarn with longer lengths of a given color (generally commercial handpaints with 4 or fewer distinct hues).
In general the yoke pattern will pop more if the solid is a complimentary color of one of the predominant hues in the handpaint yarn like the sample in the magazine (red and green are complimentary colors and pink is a tint of red). If you are not confident in choosing a non-matching handpaint to go with a solid or you want a little more subtle look to the yoke and borders you may wish to choose an analogous solid color of similar value to the handpaint.
The magazine sample is of course in girl colors, but the sweater works equally well in unisex or boy colors. Here are some possible combos. Originally I had ordered the solid from the first picture with the multi-color in the second photo. Upon seeing them in person I realized they were a near perfect match in color, and that color was probably a good 1/3 of the skein. That was going to be much too matchy and it would obscure the work that goes into the stitch pattern in the yoke. Any of the above combos would work. It just comes down to personal preference.
Of course you are not locked into using only Lorna's Laces, the yarn called for in the magazine. There are a wide variety of yarns being used for the sweater. You just need the pretty standard worsted weight gauge of 5 sts and 7 rnds per inch. Lorna's Laces is a great choice as it very soft, is superwash (a requirement of mine for kid knitting) and they dye both semi-solids and coordinating multi-colors. Many of the great indie dyers would also have working color combos in the proper gauge.
Guest Post: A Big Win for Barbara Parry
by Barbara Parry
I was a guest at Barbara Parry's Springdelle Farm this past weekend ahead of my hanging out at Fiber Twist, and while there I found out that there has been some lovely developments for her this late summer. So let's check in with our Yarn Farm columnist, shall we?
Tea's doesn't understand all the fuss — he already knows he's hot stuff. Here he is, looking rather George Clooney-esqe in this photo taken last summer. All it takes is field of grass to make his day. That and my Cormo ewes. What a guy.

Diane H. will be sent a yarn pack and pattern for Little Liza Jane.
Beth G.will be sent a yarn pack and pattern for Cinquefoil in color #1, and

Once again: Thanks so much to all our customers and to our generous advertisers.
Twist About: Knit Wit, Fiber Twist & Slater Mill Knitting Guild
Julia here.
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Anna and her peeps at
Knit Wit in Portland, Maine. It is a charming jewlery box of a shop, and we all managed to squeeze along the aisles where I hung the sweaters for a fondling session.
The most charming little sights are all over the place, like a hand knit "open" sign in the front window, and the little felted hearts on the front door. You have to find your way here if ever you are in the neighborhood.
Saturday found me in Greenfield, Masachusetts at the fifth annual Franklin Country Fiber Twist. There is a concentration of fiber talent in "the Valley" as the folks kept referring to where we were, which was made clear by the vendors and demonstrators present: Kristin Nicholas was proudly displaying her new book Color by Kristin and a freezer full of lamb from her Leyden Glen Farm 300+ flock, Barbara Parry was vending her luscious Foxfire Fiber yarn and candy bags of silk/cormo rovings, Leslie Wind made and sold glittery silver goodies like sterling orifice hooks and shawl pins all day long, the "Woollies of Shirkshire Farm" had a buffet of natural dyed Coopworth batts, Glastonbury Glassworks sold those sweet hand-blown glass sheep stitch markers, and Barbara Goodchild of Barberic Farm had some gorgeous Romney farm yarn for sale. There were many other yarn folk, as well as a whole collection of rug hookers, but I spent the day answering questions at my table loaded down with sweaters, so I had almost no time to meet anyone else.
Pardon my less than artful photo I took during setup. There was much to appreciate and photograph, but it was not my day to be the artist. I did host a Twist Collective fashion show at noon, which was both a lot of fn, and a warm up for another fashion show, this Wednesday the 30th at the
Slater Mill Knitting Guild in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. If you are able to come, please do, because this will be the last show we have scheduled for awhile, and certainly the last viewing of the sweaters in New England this calendar year. Hope to see you there!

Hemp took over command in Grand Haven in 2008. He was recently promoted from lieutenant commander to commander, and is transferring to Washington, D.C., where he will serve as deputy director of the Coast Guard National Command Center.
Hemp was officially replaced in the change-of-command ceremony Friday morning at Escanaba Park by Lt. Cmdr. Sean Brady, who graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in 1996.
Brady most recently served as executive officer at the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Unit Chicago, and has also been branch chief and salvage engineering response team member at the Marine Safety Center in Washington, D.C.; a marine inspector at Activities New York at Staten Island; and engineer of the watch aboard U.S. Coast Guard cutter Spencer, based in Boston, Mass.
A subordinate unit of Milwaukee-based USCG Sector Lake Michigan, Sector Field Office Grand Haven's primary responsibilities are logistics, prevention and response to the nine small boat stations along the east side of Lake Michigan in Charlevoix, Frankfort, Manistee, Ludington, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland, St. Joseph and Michigan City, Ind.
Hemp is leaving along with his wife, Joanna; and their two sons, Josiah and Thomas.
"We're going to miss Grand Haven a lot — its been a fantastic community," Hemp said. "But we'll move on to a new adventure in Washington, D.C."
During his time in Grand Haven, aside from his Coast Guard work, Hemp said he enjoyed the natural resources and recreation — including climbing dunes and cross country skiing in the winter.
"We love the snow," he added.
While not making any promises, Hemp said he would love to return to Grand Haven in the future when he has available time.
Brady said he looks forward to continuing "the great work" Hemp has done here "and honoring our professionalism with the exceptional crew at Sector Field Office Grand Haven."
Brady is a native of Wading River, N.Y. He and his wife, Kathryn, have twin sons: Benjamin and Brendan.
"Grand Haven has been so welcoming and Cmdr. Hemp has prepared the unit so well," Brady said. "Everything went really well today. The effort that went into preparing the ceremony was really outstanding."
While he is new to SFO Grand Haven, Brady is no stranger to Michigan.
"My wife is from Michigan and we have a lot of family around here," he said. "We've been out here before for Coast Guard Festival and it's an outstanding time.
We're really looking forward to working with the community and all our partners out there."

"And when the thousand years are ended,
Read An Excerpt
"Jesus clearly says in Matthew 28:18 that all authority or power has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth. I believe Jesus literally means what He says. By His perfectly righteous life, by His Cross and His resurrection from the dead Jesus has defeated the world, the flesh and the devil. He has ascended to the Throne of Heaven in the Heavenly Jerusalem and if we take Scripture literally He now rules Heaven and Earth. As we go on we will see that born again Christians see His sovereign rule with the eye of faith and that He is doing what He wills in the armies of Heaven and Earth and none can stay His hand or say to Him what are you doing? We read in Revelation 20:1-3 that satan has been bound. What does it say about why was he bound?
He was bound so that he would not be able to deceive the nations for 1,000 years. We must keep that in mind as we go back in the history of the nations and what happened to the nations after all authority was given to Jesus. Remember the nations refers to the Gentile world outside of Israel. So as we look at the Old Testament times we see of all the nations of the world only Israel was given the Word of God and the power of God was used mightily to preserve Israel because God was going to bring the Messiah into the world through them."

The term Mind is used in a myriad of ways, what would constitute the "mind" in how you're using it?
I am using the mind as ego-centric and non-ego-centric. Well we use mostly the mind of dualisms or the mind of karma and in Dzogchen Meditaition i am aware of the nondual or non-ego-centric mind.
I'd say you have to be careful with labels, because the label implies a "thing" (or a collection of things) which automatically creates 'that which is not-that-thing'. Hence the duality of the ego-centric-mind and the non-ego-centric-mind ...both are fabrications of avidya.
Well i do labelling with words, to make possible something clear. Last mentioned non-ego-centric mind do i see as more as Rigpa (without learning).
As conventional concepts they can be good pointers in a given situation where they're appropriate, but ultimately neither can be the essence in Dzogchen, and ultimately both require negation of inherency apart from conventionality.
I also see Essence and Nature as one meaning here. So the essence of Dzogchen is prescribing its Nature or the essence is part of the Nature.
The essence with how Namdrol used it would be a description of the "essential point" of the teaching or the "underlying theme". Like the essential point of collecting bottlecaps is to have a collection. The essential point of Dzogchen is to know your own state. But the essence as in a term attributed to the "base" which is what you deemed as "mind" ...is not mind...or the base. It is empty. And empty is empty.

My current understanding is that compassion is part of the nature of our natural state. That it naturally arises with the perception of that state and that one need not combine the state with compassion, nor contrive any compassion after having achieved that state, and that this is where absolute bodhicitta comes from. Is that view wrong?
