Marcus Green set up the business in 1999 whilst at Southampton University studying Computer Science. Within days of getting his first client, he quit his course and began working on the business full time.
The business, under the name of Green Design, first started building websites specifically for the marine industry. Soon we had a number of high profile clients such as the Volvo Ocean Race, Ellen Macarthur and the Louis Vuitton Cup.
With the bursting of the dot com bubble, and high profile sailing events being cut back, the business had a long hard look at how it wanted to position itself going forward. Marcus and the Team devised a five year plan to diversify the client base from solely marine based clients, to all sectors of service and manufacturing industries. This helped reduce the impact and influence any one client had on our company.
The decision was taken to heavily invest in our proprietary content management system, The Toolkit, an online system that allows clients to update their websites. It was initially developed to allow the website editors of the sailing events to update their websites with the latest news 24 hours a day. It also meant we didn't have to get up in the middle of the night to update the website when Ellen Macarthur was in the middle of the Southern Ocean!
The Toolkit has been adapted from the original brief to allow all our business customers to update all aspects of the website content. As well as having the control of the text and links, our clients can upload PDF's of their brochures, images and video.
An ambitious expansion plan has been adopted to expand our client base from a handful of marine centric clients in and around Southampton to over 2000 clients based all over the UK and Northern Ireland. The business has now expanded from a home office, to a successful business located in a prestigious head office in Southampton's Carlton Crescent, employing over 10 local people.
The goal of the business is to be the market leader providing websites for Small Businesses. We typically build 5 to 20 page websites which are custom designed and built with our content management system that allows our clients to update their website 24/7 from any computer. Our constant focus on giving remarkable customer service is what separates us from other web designers.
Our chosen charity is the John Merricks Sailing Trust.
Leading Olympic sailor and 1996 Olympic silver medallist John Merricks died tragically in a car accident whilst competing in the 1997 Melges 24 European Championships in Italy.
The John Merricks Sailing Trust has been set up by those closest to John to do some good in his name and further the memory of such a remarkable person.
The objectives of the Trust are to advance the education and physical and mental development of young people in need (under the age of 25 years) with a view to promoting the achievement of their potential through the sport of sailing.
You can find out more about the Trust on it's website: http://www.jmst.org.uk

Factors That Affect Currency Value
Factors That Affect Currency Value. When pennies were first minted using copper, the value of the penny was much higher than the value of the metal it was made from. By 1983, the United States began minting pennies made from zinc instead of copper, because the copper used to make a penny was worth more than the coin itself. In 2010, a single copper penny is worth approximately two-and-a-half cents. Certainly, this is because copper has become more valuable over time, but it is also an effect of money becoming less valuable. There are a number of reasons why currency changes in value.
Trade and Investment Balance
Economic analysts cite trade and investment balance as the largest influence on a currency's value. Trade balance is the difference between how much a country imports and exports; investment balance is the difference between how much a country invests in other countries and how much it is invested in by them.
Economy and Economic Theory
Whether or not an economy is in a growth or recession period is another large factor that affects the value of a currency. During periods of growth a currency raises in value, and in recessions the opposite is true. How much demand there is for a particular currency is also important, with a higher demand raising the value. And increase in money supply can bring the value down, as there is more supply than there is demand.
Government Policy
Politics plays an important part in a currency's worth, including budget deficits, geopolitical events, consumer tax cuts and entitlement programs. Countries, like corporations, keep a close watch on each other and how business is done. If a government has policies that weaken its economy or its control over the market, other governments will take notice. A government's national debt, budget deficit and debt default rate affects the nation's worldwide credit rating, and its currency is valued accordingly.
War brings about many changes, and affecting a nation's currency is one of them. War can stifle or stimulate an economy, affect policy and alter a government's perception of another nation.
A nation's manufacturing and service industries are important aspects of how a nation's currency is valued. Strong growth in manufacturing sectors will strengthen investors' resolve, while a manufacturing slowdown will make them wary. Also, manufacturing growth and shrinkage is a major employment indicator, and high employment rates equal strong currency because a government is guaranteed more taxes to run efficiently.
The Weather
Weather, too, can cause a currency's value to rise and fall. Weather that is too hot or cold can play havoc on crops, and unseasonal weather causes energy consumption to skyrocket. A nation's food and energy reserves are a major part of its economy, and large changes in those reserves alter the balance of trade. Finally, natural disasters create a strain on local economies, causing their currency to struggle as they spend furiously on rebuilding and relief programs.

Thanks to bystanders, Rocky Mount police say they were able to nab a robber who they say injured the victim.
It happened Wednesday night in the parking lot in front of Belk at Golden East Mall around 7:00 p.m.
Police say the 56-year-old victim struggled with the thief as he tried to grab her purse, causing her to fall and injure her finger.
Two witnesses checked on the woman then told police the thief's description and the make and license plate of his car. Other people in the parking lot recovered the woman's purse.
Police later arrested 21-year-old Brandon Hare of Rocky Mount on a charge of common law robbery. He has a first appearance on Friday.

Porter was a radio operator assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
He joined the Marine Corps in June 1998 and previously served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from July 2004 to February 2005.

I don't have any photos of the food...of course you knew we wouldn't...it wasn't about the food. (Though it was tasty :wink: You can view the menu here.)
Jon ordered a litre of the Abbreviator. A LITRE. I thought he was going to need a knife and fork to finish it Now do you see why the menu didn't matter a whit?
We were encouraged to enjoy lunch at a leisurely pace as Oktoberfest Musikanten did not play their first set until around 1:15. We were *not* disappointed! These guys are FANTASTIC!
Ticky Tocky, Ticky Tocky, HOY HOY HOY!
At the end of our meal, Jon was presented with a *lovely* birthday card from the CM's as well as a YUMMY looking gingerbread cookie

I have to be honest, I completely love this book. Without this book, picking deities basically consists of running your finger down the list of gods in the cleric's list, and finding someone who matches your alignment or vague ideals. At best, without this book, you could pick up the Campaign Setting book for $50. Not only does this book save you money, it adds an incredible amount of depth to the character creation process.
For the people who prefer the table approach, the inside cover offers a tabled list of 61 deities, both major and minor. They are laid out in the comprehensive setup we are all used to in the Core Rulebook. There being so many of them, they are really crammed in there, but the text is decently sized and easy to read.
The book itself starts off with a very brief explanation of how the deities got where they are now, and a small setup of the mythology. It also explains how one can become a god, for later reference.
Immediately, on page 4, the author goes into information about the 20 major deities. Rather than a few paragraphs, the book offers two full pages of text, first describing the deity and how they rose to power, then the temples and devotees likely to associate with that particular entity. Festivals, dress, and customs are detailed as well. Included is a fully detailed and beautifully drawn representation of the god or goddess, in their favored form. For each entry, a bonus spell is added for people capable of divine casting.
I cannot overstate how spectacular this section is. Admittedly, I am a deity-heavy player and GM. This book adds a vast wealth of information for both players and GMs, ready for implementation as soon as one opens the book.
The major gods are followed by several pages of minor gods, in case the 20 core are not enough. Many people prefer not to pick the most popular choices, and make a more elaborate and unique character, and this offers choices on doing exactly that. As noted by the author, these are mostly the same as presented in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting book, and only reprinted here for reference in a less expensive book.
After this is a section about magical items, some of which are fairly interesting. An example item is the Robe of the Master of Masters, which changes color according to the will of the wearer. It grants bonuses to Perform (dance), and has a built-in switch which grants Haste for 1 round. It also allows for some minor healing. This sections presents 38 new magical items in total. It also presents 4 artifact items.
What this book is short on, is clearly stated rules. I only add this part because this is almost purely a roleplay book. Many people (read: power gamers) would consider this a "fluff" book, with nothing but a bunch of monotonous writing about all that roleplaying nonsense. For anyone serious about making a character with personality, this book is incredibly essential.
All said, only the back half of the final page is unusable, as it is an advertisement for another book. Typical books cram ads in at the back, but this one forgoes that. Starting from the inside cover, even before the first page, nearly every inch of this book is useful.
This book should be considered mandatory for PFS play, or for anyone who takes their character's spiritual beliefs seriously. I can't imagine making any divine character, or even a pious martial character, without the use of this book. For the $17.99, this book is absolutely worth every penny. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with Gods and Magic.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Buza Wysong the best, but my babies Are picky This food is the absiolute best. I researched the company, reviews, where it's made. It has no starch, no bi-products and nothing but goodness. But neither my dog ( King Charles Cavalier), nor my two Persian cats will eat more than a bite. The dog won't eat anything so that doesn't surprise me but hoped the cats would. Anyway I have a litter of new pups and wanted the best for them and they devoured it. September 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cattayl Westie allergies, Max, 14 years young Max started a few months ago coming off store products and using canned Wysong recommended by a homeopathic practitioner. He was eating a dry salmon with sweet potato store mix...last year he started with skin tags..then hot spots, then seborreha.. Recently we had a sebaceous epithelioma removed! He's only 14 and thankfully has not had any health issues until last year. The Vet give us medicated shampoo and medications to relieve the symptoms... but I felt we needed to look at what was causing these symptoms! I have just started with WYSONG and so far, we coming into the allergy season, I have seen a marked improvement in his skin and coat. We also started using salmon oil which showed an immediate improvement in his coat... April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brooke Great product/great service This food has gotten increasingly hard to find in my city and I was thrilled you find out you carried this. I ordered a case and cannot get over how quick it came!! Thank you! July 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by fgdmorr Wysong is a great company and trustworthy We all value our pets whether they are a particular breed, or a breed blessed with diversity. We love Wysong Turkey because it is all meat and grain free. Mostly we love it because it was made by Wysong, they are a responsible company and I feel safe giviing it to our two Old English Sheepdogs. It is easliy digestable and most importantly our dogs love it. We use it as a dressing for their dry food. March 21, 2014

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
It's official. The unethical use of bailout money that so many of us feared would come when the government wrote big checks to save our economy has arrived. In fact, according to a recent L.A. Times article, "Wall Street Finds Ways Around Executive Pay Caps," $20 million of the bailout money handed out last year by the Bush administration went to executive compensation bonuses. These, mind you, are top executives at companies that failed. Do you think they are inspired to do better work now that they were rewarded for running their businesses into the ground?
In response, President Obama demanded limits on executive compensation just two weeks into his tour of duty at the White House. He announced the executive compensation changes on Feb. 4, 2009 and, according to that recent L.A. Times article, Obama's executive compensation cap does the following:
Taking action against injustice is a noble choice. There's no question. The recent bailout has definitely raised some serious ethical issues in compensation and bonuses. But, any HR and compensation experts who have been around a while know that good intentions from the government often wreak havoc on employee compensation plans, hiring and firing. FMLA, anyone?
To study government regulations' effects on HR and compensation, let's review the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. According to the Department of Labor's Web site's section 825.100, "What is the Family and Medical Leave Act?" the FMLA allows eligible employees to get up to 12 weeks in 12 months of unpaid, job-protected leave to care for a family member's or their own health and well-being. There's a lot more information there, but that is the gist.
Sounds like a noble intention, right? Much like Obama's executive compensation cap. But, how did the FMLA work out in reality?
The FMLA is hard on businesses, large and small. Administratively, it has created a great deal of paperwork that takes precious time from HR managers' and small business owners' busy days. It forces small businesses to function without certain employees while holding their spot until they return. As noted in a recent Orlando Business Journal article titled, "Anyone Recall the Fallout From the FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act)?" a 26 week leave is half of a working year so, "'You are going to have to bring somebody in to train.' And once the injured or ill person returns to work, 'you'll have to let the other person go, which puts an extra burden on businesses,'" according to Andrew McPherson, president of Seretta Construction Inc., based in Apopka, FL.
In addition, as with any benefit, abuses happen. Crafty employees who are dealing with disciplinary actions from their workplace may find a way to use the FMLA to take a break from work but still keep their job. Or, someone who simply wants to get away for a while may be able to create a reason to take time off under the FMLA, creating extra work for their employer and not contributing to business success.
Furthermore, sometimes those who really need the FMLA can't take advantage of it. Why? According to a recent American Association of University Women blog titled, "Family and Medical Leave Act's 16th Anniversary," many Americans don't benefit from the law because they can't afford to take unpaid leave. Who does it really help?
Since its inception, the FMLA has been modified. According to an article by BusinessKnowHow.com titled, "FMLA Changes for 2009 – The Facts," some changes took effect January 16, 2009 but they deal mostly with employees who are members of the military and their family.
It's not that the government shouldn't ever have a say in employment matters, but it should occur only with thoughtful consideration for the administration and fall out that comes. After all, executive compensation is only one part of the big picture. And, what is executive compensation exactly? These are questions that should be ironed out before making bold, dramatic moves.
President Obama isn't alone in his efforts to cap executive compensation. Former residents of the Oval Office have tried to regulate executive compensation. According to that same L.A. Times article, in 1993 President Bill Clinton worked to control executive compensation by limiting the amount of money a company can deduct in salary for top executives from their taxes. What happened as a result? Companies adjusted by handing out more stock options and executive compensation skyrocketed.
Could Obama's plan have similar unpredictable negative consequences? What do you think?

Big City in Little Pieces: An American in New York. (Cover Story)
Kauffman, Bill, The American Enterprise
The enduring cinematic visage of New York City belongs not to King Kong or Woody Allen but rather to John Travolta, who in Saturday Night Fever forsook his family and home in Brooklyn to cross the bridge to Manhattan. On one side was clan, faith, family. On the other was the promise of wealth, glamor, and sex with girls who don't go to church and don't feel at all guilty about it.
Travolta's desertion of Brooklyn is presented as a graduation we are supposed to applaud. After all, a Manhattan transfer is the beginning of enlightenment--just ask those who manufacture so much of America's image of itself from offices in Manhattan.
With four of New York's five boroughs located on islands (only the Bronx is on the American mainland), bridges are in some ways all that connect our country to its most atypical city. New York has always been the antithesis of inland America. It is a port, with all that entails: prosperity, a transient and polyglot population, vice and depravity, a sense of action and bustle and excitement. It is "like a munificent dung hill, where every thing finds kindly nourishment, and soon shoots up and expands to greatness," wrote Washington Irving, who created Diedrich Knickerbocker, the Dutchman who was New York's emblem for so many years. (Today the emblematic Knickerbocker is Latrell Sprewell, the coach-choking professional basketball player.)
In the weeks after September 11,2001, the bridges between New York and America were fortified. So great was the outpouring Of sympathy for the besieged city that even inveterate Yankee-haters found themselves pulling for George Steinbrenner's mercenaries in last fall's World Series. At my village's crossroads, volunteer firefighters collected donations for the city in their fluorescent hats. I threw in a tenspot every time, remembering, churlishly, how in our time of need New York had done nothing of the kind for us. Thirty years ago, nearby Attica State Prison was bloodied by a revolt, which directly touched a far higher percentage of local people than the 9/11 crashes did in New York. The widows and orphans of the slain guards were not showered with flowers and quilts and charitable millions by the touched hearts of Manhattan; their gift was scorn and mockery, encapsulated in Al Pacino's chant "Attica! Attica!" in the transvestite bank robbery classic Dog Day Afternoon (1975). Whatever kindnesses we in the hinterlands have extended to Manhattan in the wake of that black day in September are emphatically not in return for past favors.
The visitor who enters New York via train is disgorged into the magnificently restored Grand Central Station, with its ceiling depicting the constellations, pinpricks of light that must substitute for the night sky Manhattanites cannot see through the light-haze and the skyscrapers.
In the 1880s, Manhattan was the site of the first serious debates over height limits for buildings. Critics argued that skyscrapers were unhealthy in two ways. In case of disaster, the upper floors were charnel houses (as we have lately relearned). And even absent fire or explosion, the towering structures block sunlight, contributing to a general urban sickliness, opponents complained. New York being New York, the builders won, and out of Irving's dung hill arose an urban cordillera whose peaks ranged from the impressive (the Chrysler Building) to the pointless (the Empire State Building) to the assertively ugly government boondoggle that was the Twin Towers, also known as "the largest aluminum siding job in the history of the world."
The outsider is still overwhelmed by the din and anomie of New York: the jackhammers and honking cabs and people who won't look you in the eye. (And, these days, the street banners and store window signs reading, "Fight back NY! Go Shop!") For every valorous fireman there is a neurotic hypochondriac straight from "Seinfeld" badgering her pharmacist for Cipro. …

openSUSE 11.1 Downloads: 175TByte traffic in first 30 hours
It didn't quite make the planned 200TB, but with 175BT in 30 hours, openSUSE 11.1 has again set a new download record.
openSUSE has published first figures regarding downloads of Version 11.1. Taking the 4.3GByte DVD downloads into consideration, openSUSE counted 40.000 downloads of Version 11.1 in the first 30 hours with the 32 bit version making up 58% of downloads, the 64bit variation 31%. The Live and Add-on CD versions accounting for the rest. The figures relate to the direct downloads from software.opensuse.org only, disregarding the download numbers from mirror servers.
For the 64bit Version, the figures mark an increase of 3% over last year with the complete download volume up 5% (163 TByte for 11.0). Around 23.500 users have uploaded hardware profiles over smolt and with the help of IP addresses, the openSUSE Project has counted about 100.000 updates.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Teosinte
Fukunaga, Kenji, Hill, Jason, Vigouroux, Yves, Matsuoka, Yoshihiro, et al., Genetics
The teosintes, the closest wild relatives of maize, are important resources for the study of maize genetics and evolution and for plant breeding. We genotyped 237 individual teosinte plants for 93 microsatellites. Phylogenetic relationships among species and subspecific taxa were largely consistent with prior analyses for other types of molecular markers. Plants of all species formed monophyletic clades, although relationships among species were not fully resolved. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Mexican annual teosintes divide into two clusters that largely correspond to the previously defined subspecies, Z mays ssp. parviglumis and ssp. mexicana, although there are a few samples that represent either evolutionary intermediates or hybrids between these two subspecies. The Mexican annual teosintes show genetic substructuring along geographic lines. Hybridization or introgression between some teosintes and maize occurs at a low level and appears most common with Z mays ssp. mexicana. Phylogeographic and phylogenetic analyses of the Mexican annual teosintes indicated that ssp. parviglumis diversified in the eastern part of its distribution and spread from east to west and that ssp. mexicana diversified in the Central Plateau of Mexico and spread along multiple paths to the north and east. We defined core sets of collections of Z mays ssp. mexicana and ssp. parviglumis that attempt to capture the maximum number of microsatellite alleles for given sample sizes.
TEOSINTE is a wild grass native to Mexico and Central America (Figure 1) and the closest wild relative of cultivated maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.). Teosinte represents an important resource for the study of maize genetics (EVANS and KERMICLE 2001), quantitative genetics (LUKENS and DOEBLEY 1999), molecular population genetics (GAUT et al. 2000), genome evolution (SANZ-ALFEREZ et al. 2003), and crop evolution (DOEBLEY 1990a). Notably, teosinte has become one of the best-characterized systems for plant molecular population genetics, including studies utilizing DNA samples recovered from archeological specimens (JAENICKE-DESPRES et al. 2003). The teosintes also represent an important potential resource for maize breeding, although they have not yet been extensively used in this capacity. Given the breadth of use of teosinte in genetic analyses, a refined understanding of its phylogenetics and population structure can help guide further research in all of these areas.
Together, teosinte and maize compose the genus Zea, which has four species (Figure 1): (1) Z. luxurians (Durieu and Ascherson) Bird, an annual teosinte from Central America; (2) Z. diploperennis Iltis, Doebley and Guzman, a diploid perennial teosinte from Jalisco, Mexico; (3) Z. perennis (Hitchc.) Reeves and Mangelsdorf, a tetraploid perennial teosinte from Jalisco, Mexico; and (4) Z. mays, a polytypic annual species that includes four subspecies. The four subspecies are (1) ssp. mays (maize); (2) ssp. mexicana (Schrader) Iltis, a large-spikeleted teosinte adapted to the drier high elevations (~1600-2700 m) of northern and central Mexico; (3) ssp. parviglumis Iltis and Doebley, a small-spikeleted teosinte adapted to the moister middle elevation (~400-1800 m) of southwestern Mexico; and (4) ssp. huehuetenangensis (Iltis and Doebley) Doebley, an annual teosinte found only in the province of Huehuetenango in western Guatemala (DOEBLEY 199Ob). The four species of Z. mays have been placed into two sections: section Zea, which contains only Z. mays, and section Luxuriantes, which is composed of the other three species. Most of these teosinte species and subspecies have narrow geographic distributions consisting of only a few local populations; however, ssp. mexicana and ssp. parviglumis are exceptions, being widely distributed in Mexico (Figure 1). Recently, ILTIS and BENZ (2000) classified Z. luxurians from Nicaragua as a new species, Z. nicaraguensis Iltis and Benz. Here, we treat it as one geographical group of Z. …

"Eagles, barges, festivals" Clarksville by galt35
Clarksville Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 3 photos
Clarksville is an interesting if not fun place if you catch it at the right time of the year. Nice downtown architecture, lock and dam can be fascinating, this city is always really affected by flooding. Public celebrations and farmer's markets on weekends around and in the Apple Shed. There are some pretty views and some nice terrain to the north on 79 and to the west toward Hwy 61.
Lock and Dam
Eagle Days
In late January usually, Clarksville hosts Eagle days were there is a program and Eagle watching.
Apple Fest
Folks putting in at the boat ramp and making their way across the river to Foley for breakfast or upstream in search of a popular sand bar.
Bars include The Dug Out
- Pros:rustic and beautiful
- Cons:not always anything going on besides the lock and dam
- In a nutshell:If there are cars lining 79 as you drive up the river, stop in for some kettel corn or to see an eagle

Goodnight, Montana
Submitted by Amy Engbretson
May and it's a full moon night.
We pull 9in with the trailer loaded, all the way from Ohio. We've been married for a week. Under the great blue sky, the love of my life has spent four months building a house.
The first dirt has moved while we were both there, dreaming as new lovers do about our life together. Before that, before we disturbed it, the dirt had lain silent for centuries. The creek that diverts into the canal had now gone through our place, beside the willow trees.
Maybe tepees had once stood there as well.
Maybe a war party had moved through the in the early morning, the sun looking out over the mountains just like it does now. But the grass grew serene, unt the day we, a little sadly, watch the excavator gash a large hole, dirt bleeding out the sides.
Where there was nothing, but wounded dirt, now stands our house. The House That Josh Built.
The love and hopes built in with the beams, the screws, the tile, the wood for the floors. And we marry and make our nest, finding strings and fluff weaving only with care.
For three years, we live there, the two of us alone in Montana. We watch the sun come up over the mountains every morning, know every morning our stunning luck to be here, to be given this to see.
We sit on our swing and feel thermals off the mountains in the evening. In the winter the mountains glow pink.
The grass is yellow and the larches are too, in the fall.
We climb mountains in the summer, stumbling over stones and sweating to the top, where we lay in the sun and eat sandwiches. Camp and sleep easy under a billion stars. Picnic at the edge of the timber by the canal. Float and swim the Flathead, the Jocko, the Blackfoot. Swim the lakes, Mission, McDonald, Flathead, high alpine lakes whose names I don't remember now. Clear as ice. …
There were grizzlies in the neighborhood and one night we see and hear them, eating a deer a couple hundred yards away.
Once in the Flathead, I'm in the water, a warm, clean bathtub. The river is her beautiful self. Montana's not names Big Sky Coutnry wrongly; the sky stretches into eternity at all edges of the earth….
Once, we ran out of water before we ran out of trail, coming down from Flattop Peak. We walk dry and hot, hot and dry. The sun swims in our eyese and shoes are string-tied ovens. If there's a part of us not covered in sweat and dust, we have no idea where. My legs burn and wobble. At the base of the mountains, Ashley Creek comes on us suddenly. We sit in it, drink it and throw handfuls at each other.
Once we laid in the canal bank in the cold dark, not three miles from our house, and listen to a herd of elk on the other side of the canal. Cows grunting and moving and squealing, bulls fighting and bugling and thrashing wild. When they are tired, they move off, jumping a sagging wire. The bulls go last.
And then we have to leave. Not say goodbye, because the song says truth that you can never say goodbye to Montana, only goodnight. Goodnight to rivers, houses, lakes, mountains, sky. The larches will shine in the little jam spot of color that I can see out my window. The rivers will run clear and warm as they always have. The snow will melt off the peaks. We will not be here to see it.
December, it's a full moon night. We empty the last of our things out of our first home. The sun will shine in the double glass doors, gilding the larch floors. The bedroom where our son was born will fill with moonlight. the breezes will come in the windows. We will not be there.
We will not be here, but some of here will always stay with us, memories of this wild and beautiful land. We have not parted until we have forgotten, and we will never forget.
We walk across the field to the loaded trailer, stopping to watch a round moon rise from behind the mountains. It would be black dark, but the moon is a great white light.
Goodnight, Montana.
Dreaming of the day I return home
Submitted by Barbara Merriman
I had no choice but to leave Montana to attend medical school in the summer of 2009. It was so stressful to be away from such a beautiful place, for four years of grueling studies taking 28 credits per semester… but I have stayed in touch with my friends in Montana and subscribed to Montana Magazine as a reward.
Now, I am two years into my residency training in Pennsylvania, and dreaming of the day in two more years when I can return to the state I love once again.
For now, I dream of Montana's sunny skies, white-capped mountains, clear, dry air, healthy residents, outdoor recreation, and perfect climate, until I can return for the last time and finally be home.

'It is not where I grew old, but it is where I grew up'
Submitted by Mack W. Borgen
I left Montana this month. Probably for the last time. I refuse to be sad, but even as I sit in the warmth of the California sun, I miss Montana. I always will.
For now, I just need to get this story down before the sights, the sounds, the thick quiet of the woods, and the many memories of my Montana fade with time.
I am not objective about Montana – for I am a part of it, and it is a part of me. It is not where I grew old, but it is where I grew up.
It is impossible to well describe Montana. It is more than the high mountains, the rivers and lakes, the deep forests, the dark winters, and the endless summers. Words cannot capture the expanse of the big skies, the open miles of the Big Open, or what it is like to drop down Paradise Valley into the Clark Fork, to cross over Chief Joseph Pass into the Bitterroot Valley, to watch the clouds creep over the Swan Range, to drive the paved ribbon of the Hi-Line, or to feel the sweeping winds of the plains.
The names and memories in my reflections just keep coming. Cut Bank and Plentywood, Roundup and Red Lodge, Missoula and Miles City, Big Timber and Butte and Bozeman. The Gallatin and the Beaverhead, the Flathead and the Yellowstone, the Musselshell and the Missouri – and yeh, in Montana, the Missouri is a river, not a state.
Montana, like all places, has its problems. There are school yard bullies. There are barking dogs and grumpy neighbors. There are rainstorms that won't quit, and everyone gets a bit of the lonelies every now and then. Like all places, there are some stubborn bureaucrats, and I have had good and dear friends suffer from the whims and wrongs of conflicted, small-town politicians. Worse yet, good jobs are hard to find, and the bars stay open far longer than the churches. Too many quarters are dropped at the roadside casinos, and too many dollars are spent on payday beers. Some say that Montana itself has been lost ever since the mines were closed and the logging was shut down. Maybe it's not surprising that Montana doesn't really know what to do with the flocking tourists or the shopping Canadians who flood the borders. And Walmarts and strip centers have carved their way into the skyline, and the roads can get choked with RVs — but it is still good and the greatest wonder of Montana is not the ridgelines, the mountain trails, or the fishing. It is the people.
Montana is a tough place to live – wonderfully so. And maybe that too is part of the reason that Montana is home to some of the best people – best in all of the ways that matter.
Montana is where all of my family — three generations now – are buried and where the rest of us will join them soon enough. And Montana is home to some of my best friends — best, again, in all of the ways that matter. I have been blessed with knowing an artist friend who paints glory onto canvas and spreads a caring radiance wherever he goes. Another friend of mine from high school moved to Montana many years ago and, with his wife and family, built an incredible home and life deep in the woods – not off the road, but deep in the woods.
I have lived there so long that I have outlasted most of my neighbors, now long deceased, who read their way and hobbied their lives though the long winters and who came out each spring and re-planted their gardens.
I have lived there long enough to watch my son play baseball and football – night after night – in the cold, pouring rain – never thinking to stop or pausing to complain.
I lived there long enough to know my stretch of the river like the back of my hand; to watch geese hover on ice shelves and bald eagles drift downriver on ice floes; to see my wife feed the deer and track the animals in the snow; and to hold my breath as my son dove to the cold river bottom just to snag a few turtles to keep as one-hour pets.
But again, it's the people.
There's a lot of talk in our society about entitlement and taking, but there's little sense of either in Montana. The people have their hopes. They say their prayers. But they keep their dreams close – like the personal treasures which they are. The people ask for little, and they don't expect much. Flash is for losers, and boasting has no place. Maybe it's OK elsewhere, but in Montana people aren't allowed to round the truth or break their word. Handshakes still means something.
People expect to work; embrace the hardships. They ride with their truck dogs and keep an eye on their winter money. Fathers work. Mothers work. Nothing is really easy, and everybody has two jobs. The lucky ones have three. People split their rounds for firewood; shovel their snow tunnels to the door; shop in the thrift stores; bring food to the needy, and help out their neighbors whenever they can.
Our babysitter gets up in the dark and waits for her school bus every morning. She waits in the cold; standing solitary in the dark and at the end of her road. Some days she's lucky, and it's not raining. Some days she's lucky, and it's not snowing. And she never thinks twice about the 45-minute ride to school – or the 45-minute ride home at the end of her day.
When compared with the hustle and bustle of the cities, some of the highlights of Montana life seem modest — the IGA chicken, the Dairy Queen that never closes, and the county fairs and Fourth of July parades that are a big things.
You can't get Montana onto a postcard, but if you are lucky – as I have been – you can keep the memories and try to be better. But, once again and as said so often, it's all good.
Maybe this story is too sloppy, too touchy, too feely — but even those words are city words, and a head bob from the neighbor down the road is still a lot better than another eblast from Macy's or press release from Goldman Sachs.
It's not my place really, but in closing, allow me to encourage you to find your own Montana. Montana is not the only Last Best Place. Yours may be in the mountains of Colorado, in the woods of Maine, or in the Blue Ridge of North Carolina, but almost wherever it is, your Montana is there for you. Don't get buried in the clamor and procrastination of life. Don't listen to what "they" say. Wherever your Montana is — you can still get there …. from wherever you are now.
Robert Sallee: A tribute to the final Mann Gulch survivor
Submitted by Philip Downs
- Read more aboubt Robert Sallee here
Robert Sallee passed away this past May 26. His name may not be familiar to you, but it is a name that stirs my soul, floods me with memories of my father, and causes me to reflect on the quiet strength Mr. Sallee exemplified.
When you are 10years old the world is a huge, fascinating place full of energy and possibility. Ten-year-old children are fully engaged in the process of measuring themselves against it. They swim, run, climb, experiment with the laws of physics and get dirty exploring all that God has provided just for them. The intensity brought to bear in these activities is due to an unconscious awareness in the back of their minds of Ernest Becker's famous quote, "to live fully is to live with the awareness of the rumble of terror that underlies everything."
The world is never bigger than it is to a 10 year old and, when the rumble of terror reveals itself, the lessons it teaches them are intense and can capture their imaginations for their entire lives.
My father and I both spent our childhood summers in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and in our respective tenth years, the rumble of terror captured our imaginations and continued to haunt and teach us.
For me, it was the 1975 wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. There are few little boys who are not fascinated by the Legend of Big Fitz. That I have seen third grade art projects, lovingly created, with Gordon Lightfoot's commemorative song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" playing on a loop as background music, testifies to the visceral attraction of nature's fury and the emotional shock of mankind's failure to overcome it. The mysteries conjured by that November night never let go of the children who hear their siren calls. My son played a cassette tape of Mr. Lightfoot's classic song until it broke. For my son, how the cassette broke is yet another mystery grown out of a fateful night. But not for me…I can only take so much.
In 1949, a small fire in Montana near the Gates of the Rockies turned into an inferno within minutes, killed 13 elite smokejumpers, scarred the lives of three others, and radically changed the study and practice of fighting forest fires. This was the Mann Gulch fire and was my father's rumble of terror.
When I was 27, Norman Maclean's "Young Men and Fire" was posthumously published. My father rushed out and bought two copies of the book, one for him and one for me. The book is a fabulous telling of the Mann Gulch fire, part history, part science, part philosophic, and part mystery novel. We read the book together and had long discussions about it: Maclean's fantastic prose, the beauty of the terrain, the romance of the smokejumpers, the terrifying accounts of the fire, the fascinating science. We were 10 years old again.
Viktor Frankl said we can discover meaning in our lives in three different ways: by creating a work or performing a task; by experiencing something or encountering someone; and by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering. Ten year old boys don't spend much time thinking about finding meaning in their lives. But 27-year-old men with two children are forced into it. The obsession of my father's youth began to gnaw at me in ways very different from my Big Fitz fascination. Ten year old boys view the disaster as the main character. I now found the people's reactions to the disaster as the main focus.
Mr. Sallee was 17 at the time of the Mann Gulch fire. He was a member of the elite Smokejumpers of the U.S. Forest Service. The Smokejumpers' job was to parachute into fires in remote areas and contain them before they could grow into major fires. They were first class, top notch, incredibly tough woodsmen. Unlike other firefighting outfits, they were trained to think on their feet and to improvise. They were the John Coltrane of the firefighting world. They were the best. For a boy spending summers in the woods of the Upper Peninsula, they were the ideal of what a guy was supposed to be ‑ either that or play for the Detroit Tigers; preferably both.
In what must have been a horrific 10 minutes, the small fire they had jumped on blew up into a fire that consumed the entire gulch. As the fire chased the Smokejumpers up Mann Gulch, Wag Dodge, the leader of the Smokejumpers, in a moment of desperate improvisation, lit a fire ahead of himself and tried to get his teammates to lie down in the ashes with him as the big fire passed around. The rest of the team, driven by terror, continued to run up the very steep gulch. Sallee and another Smokejumper named Walter Rumsey were cut off by Dodge's escape fire and had to turn to their left. They were able to reach a rocky ridge and slide through a crack in the rock to safety. The three were the only Smokejumpers to survive: one through gut instinct and the other two by blind luck. Once the fire was out, Sallee helped to remove his brother Smokejumpers from the gulch.
How was he able to do that? How did he deal with the controversy and attacks on his character in the inevitable post-tragedy finger-pointing? Robert Sallee made a few more jumps and then left the smokejumpers to work in the paper industry. He went to college and worked his way up in the industry. He got married and had a son. In 1978, Norman Maclean talked him into a return trip to Mann Gulch as Maclean was working on the book. After the Storm Mountain fire in 1994, he began to publically speak about the Mann Gulch fire and became a soft-spoken advocate for firefighter safety.
I never knew him, but Mr. Sallee's quiet strength, his toughness, his pursuit of meaning in the life he was given on that slope in 1949 in the face of unspeakable horror are an example to me. We don't need to be giant figures on the pages of a history book to be heroes. All we are to do is to jump out of a figurative airplane into the smoke of our lives, improvise in pursuit of a purpose or meaning, and hopefully watch our children experience the excitement of this beautiful world as they measure themselves against it and learn its lessons.
A poem for the Big Sky State
Submitted by John Hartlieb, Whitefish
Photo by John Harwood Photography
Always dreaming of a better life,
one lifted by the soaring mountains
capped eternally with snow in
time and photos, I had to go.
I believed those that came before me,
drawn down the long road to the west.
Fool I was, thinking I would find peace
everlasting in the Montana.
Who also the fool, bequeathing
the word on unsuspecting souls.
Was it meant to draw me in,
the very word rising above all else,
lifting my spirits with visions
of pinnacles reaching ever upward.
Heaven is promised for all souls.
If only I could turn back time
and get it right.
Observe, the beauty is not from above.
It lies within the life giving fields of green,
grains of gold or seasonal colors ever changing.
The waters, cool and clear, turning,
twisting ever slowly, allow the soul
the time to accept life everlasting. . .
falsely promised by the higher appointed one.
It is from here, the gentle rolling terrain,
the real state of mine should arise,
the Flathead, Bitterroot, Big Hole,
the Gallatin and Paradise, all ignored and
overlooked by those that decreed before.
My promised land is not the Spanish word for mountain,
I would grant it forever the Spanish word. . . Valle,
for I now believe Montana is most beautiful in its valleys.
Memories of Moore
Submitted by Jo Anne Russell Pauling
Dear 1930s Moore Montana,
Lately, I've been dropping off to sleep, thinking of you.
There couldn't have been a better place for little kids to grow up, a place where they knew all the adults in town by name, where they lived, where they worked, … knew all the kids, their ages and names, had the run of the town, just as long as they got back in time for meals.
As far as I know, you had the only school playground with giant-strides. I spent many
happy hours alone, running and coasting on them.
Just wanted you to know, I haven't forgotten you.
Thanks for the memories,
Jo Anne Russell Pauling
Jo Anne Russell was born in Great Falls in 1932 and raised in Moore and Helena. She graduated from Helena High School in 1950, and went to the University of Montana where she met and married a wonderful Canadian, George Pauling.
Written and submitted by Willena Burton
Queenie had been gone for four days.
I could hardly wait for four o'clock and dismissal from the small one-room school that I, my younger sister, Pug, and two older brothers, Abe and Doc, attended in the Bull Mountains of Montana. There was a place that we hadn't searched yet, and when Doc finally joined me after school we struck out for a coulee by the river where we had so often hunted rabbits with Queenie, a small brown and white fox terrier.
The snow, left by the first Chinook wind, was deep and heavy crusted with ice. Soon that snow would be icy rivulets racing into the coulees, filling the trails and falling over the cut banks in miniature waterfalls.
Deep in thought, I followed Doc's tracks in the drifted snow. I knew that Queenie, an inveterate hunter, often went into the hills by herself, returning late in the afternoon, exhausted, her wiry fur matted with the orange-brown pulp of old rotten logs.
Queenie loved chasing rabbits. Although she never caught one, she never gave up trying, digging her way into the log where the rabbit was hiding.
It was beginning to get dark when Doc and I reached the snow-choked coulee. Though we searched for any sign of life, the only tracks to be found were those of a pack of coyotes or wolves. We called hopefully, but only hollow echoes of our voices came back. Disappointed and tired we turned back, floundering through the snow crusts that sometimes gave way and plunged us waist deep into the drifted snow banks.
"There's one good thing about it anyway, Doc, Queenie is so light she can walk on top of the drifts," I said hopefully. Doc looked skeptical but said nothing.
We were nearly home when we heard the wolves. The high-pitched nearness of the howls, echoing in the cold, dry air sent a shiver up my spine. Wolves were common in the mountains around us but they had never been known to harm anyone, even the livestock. There was plenty of other small prey, such as mice and rabbits to satisfy them. I drew closer to my brother and fear gave wings to our feet as we hurried on to the welcoming lamplight ahead and Mom's anxious face pressed against the kitchen window.
With questioning looks in their eyes every head turned as we came stamping snow from our overshoes. I could feel them thinking,
"How can she be so sure that Queenie will come back? Doesn't she know that Queenie is probably already dead?"
Everyone was quiet, knowing the search had been unsuccessful. Silently Mom filled our plates as we joined the rest of the family around the table.
I knew that all of us believed that prayers were answered, especially Daddy. I also remembered that Daddy had told us that sometimes God said, "No."
I had already run this and a hundred other things through by mind, and after all had been duly considered, I knew that God would take care of Queenie and send her home to me.
Daddy was always the last one to go to bed. I could hear him walking around as he banked the fire and turned down the kerosene lamp. Then, I could hear him scraping frost from the window and thought, "Daddy's looking for Queenie, too."
I lay wide-eyed after saying my prayers and listened to the wind sigh through the pines, the creaking of the windmill and the yipping howls of the coyotes. Slipping out of bed, I scratched a patch of frost from the window and stared out into the clear winter night, searching the shadows. The sparkly-bright snow glowed in the moonlight and every star in the universe seemed to be out.
"Queenie can see her way home," I thought with some relief as I jumped back into the flannel sheets, freeze-dried and sweet smelling. I fell asleep, dreaming of winter wheat, oatmeal cooking on the stove, and Queenie. All the sudden, Queenie was licking my face and I turned away laughing, trying to escape that rough little tongue! Someone was shaking me and Queenie was still licking my face!
I didn't want to give up my dream, but the gentle shake was insistent. Was I awake or was I dreaming?
Daddy was sitting on the edge of the bed, his face soft and unguarded. "She ate four fried eggs! She must have hung up in a rotten log and starved her way out," the words came out in a rush!
"I knew she'd come home, I just knew it!" I said.
Half laughing, half crying, I hugged her skinny, fur-matted little body close. The whole family came awake, crowding into the room to exclaim over Queenie's miraculous return. As she was passed from one to another she basked in the attention she was getting and wagged her tail weakly.
After everyone but Daddy had gone happily to bed, Queenie snuggled down comfortably in "her" spot on the pillow. Suddenly she sat up and took stock of her surroundings, which included Daddy's formidable presence.
Remembering former scoldings, she scuttled under the covers to the very foot of the bed. Feigning a look of stern disapproval, considering a "dog" in the bed, Daddy's face broke into a resigned smile as he closed the door behind him.
Queenie squirmed from under the covers and with a tremendous sigh of relief settled herself back on the pillow beside me. And again, I fell asleep to dream of tomorrow, of sunshine and Chinook winds, of melting snow and waterfalls, of crocuses and pine-covered mountains to climb with Queenie and the reassurance that, with God, all things are possible for those who believe in Him.

Stir-Fried Carrots, Corn & Peppers
From EatingWell: September/October 2011
This eclectic stir-fry is a colorful combination of carrot, red bell pepper, corn and romaine lettuce. This recipe exemplifies how to stir-fry vegetables with different textures. The carrots, which are a "hard" vegetable, should be stir-fried for a minute before you add "medium-hard" vegetables like peppers or corn, which require slightly less cooking. Finally, add "soft or leafy" vegetables in the last 30 seconds to ensure all the vegetables achieve the same level of doneness. Make sure the lettuce is dry—if it's wet when added to the pan, it will turn the stir-fry into a braise.

- 1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine (see Note) or dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons reduced sodium-soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeño pepper with seeds, or more to taste
- 1 cup sliced carrot (1/4 inch thick)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
- 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2-3 medium ears; see Tip)
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce (about 4 medium leaves)
- Combine rice wine (or sherry), soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 2 teaspoons peanut (or canola) oil. Add ginger and jalapeño and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add carrot and stir-fry 1 minute. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut (or canola) oil, bell pepper and corn, sprinkle on the salt mixture and stir-fry until the vegetables are almost crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add lettuce, swirl in the rice wine mixture and stir-fry until the lettuce is just limp, about 30 seconds.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Shao Hsing (or Shao xing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available at most Asian specialty markets and in the Asian section of some larger supermarkets. If unavailable, dry sherry is the best substitute.
- Tip: To remove corn kernels, stand an ear of corn on one end and slice the kernels off with a sharp knife. One ear will yield about 1/2 cup kernels.
