Spring season normally starts at this time of year on what is known as the Vernal Equinox, (or near March 21 in the northern hemisphere). This is when night and day are both nearly the same length. Astronomically this is due to the crossing moving northward, marking the first day of spring. As this season approaches, we wait in anticipation of warmer weather when new plants start appearing, we watch for the arrivals of many of our spring migrating birds, as well as observe the emergence of insects and changes in many animal behaviors. Also, for the most part, temperatures are beginning to show a gradual departure from winter's hold, and in warmer regions, we see a gradual appearance of nature's spring flowers and plants.
In this article I would like to discuss some of the insects we can anticipate at this time of the year as forerunners to the expected emergence of the summer wildlife. In commencing this discussion, why I chose these little creatures as the topic for the week is significant in the fact that they are actually one of the most abundant groups of animals we know. They are so numerous and varied that identification is a very complex task. As an old science teacher, and college instructor, I find it hard to depart from a little lecturing about my topic. I am sure my former students will bear with me. When we look for distinctive characteristics of this group of animals, we find it is difficult to distinguish this group from all others.
One question to pose is: "How many different kinds of insects are there in the world? Entomologists, or scientists who study this group of animals, vary in their estimates that range from around one million to over ten million species with still even more yet to be discovered. Obviously, there is no way I, or anyone, could write a comprehensive article on this group of animals. Here in North America, entomologists have identified approximately one hundred thousand species that have been named that exist north of Mexico. Being a very successful group of animals, they adapt to almost any type of land or aquatic habitat. Sometimes we think of this group of animals as adapting to everything everywhere. That may not be necessarily true, as these little creatures are susceptible to many predatory organisms as well as human reactions to their presence.

A common skimmer
Generally speaking about this small group of animals, we know that insects belong to a group of animals called Arthropods. The word Arthropod comes from the Greek derivation words Arthros (Joint) and Pod (foot) that means Joint footed Animal. Insects are successful as a group due to their ability to adapt to many different habitats. Being a very successful animal, they are readily available to utilize every possible source of food as well as the habitat adaptation previously mentioned. I would like to discuss how insects impact on plants as well as other animals such as humans. Probably one of the best examples many of us are familiar with is the Mosquito, a small animal that I don't need to elaborate too much on. Some sources believe that the insects virtually affect the lives of almost every other plant and animal on our planet. Plant eating insects serve as food for thousands of species of animals. I have read that a few scientists believed that if all insects were suddenly exterminated, many other species and plants and animals would too follow them into extinction, and those that survived would have to adapt to disrupted conditions. While we have discussed this group citing several negatives, I feel that is doing an injustice to a group of animals that have provided for man such as silk, shellac, honey, beeswax, and many other useful products. The next time you see an insect, use your judgment in your reaction to it. Granted it may be a nuisance, but it also may be a friend. The photographs and drawings included in today's article are: Springtails on surface of snow, a drawing of a close-up look at a springtail (a minute wingless insect that is almost microscopic), a Cabbage-white Butterfly, and a Common Skimmer Dragonfly. Suggestions for nature topics, photographs and ideas may be sent to me by U.S, mail to 38 Elm St. Fredonia N.Y. 14063, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

A few days ago, a blogger friend wrote that she was discouraged about getting older. She posted this: [Read more…]
Your Amazing, Aging Brain
This is the last of four posts about all the cool things going on in your aging brain. [Read more…]
Grandma Will Save Civilization
This is the third of four posts celebrating the good news about the way the brain ages.
There's something called the Grandmother Hypothesis, so named because researchers discovered that chimpanzees lived longer if they were part of a band that included elder females, who helped the mothers find and share food.
Of course, researchers speculate about the application of this hypothesis to humans. One benefit of having elders in the tribe is because at about age forty, people start getting really good at regulating their emotions. According to studies in 2003 and 2004 by MIT researcher Mara Mather:
Although the brain wants to focus on the negative (it's a survival skill), the aging brain makes a deliberate effort to focus on the positive, which is actually harder. Studies show that emotions grow stronger, not weaker, as people age.
Mather theorizes this positive focus may be an evolutionary trait. When we're young, we need cautionary knowledge so we focus on threats more, but at older age, we've accumulated so much of that cautionary knowledge that we view danger in a more complex fashion.
This ability may have evolved because it works well for the species in general. As we get older, we have more mixed emotions, allowing for a more nuanced response to the world. This slows us down, restricting impulsive acts, and that's good for individual and group survival. Especially since our world is becoming so much more complicated.
Alice Walker hints of this in her essay, All Praises to the Pause.
I am convinced that in earlier times women during menopause drifted naturally to the edge of the village, constructed for themselves a very small hut, and with perhaps one animal for company – and one that didn't talk! – gave themselves over to a time without form, without boundaries. They were fishing in deep waters, reflecting on a lifetime of activity and calling up, without consciously attempting to do so, knowledge that would mean survival and progression of the tribe.
More and more good news:
1. According to the Seattle Longitudinal study, our brains are awesome after forty. Seattle tracked the same 6000 people for forty years, finding that people reached their highest cognitive ability from age forty through seventy. This was in four of six areas: vocabulary, verbal memory, spatial orientation and inductive reasoning.
2. We're also, in the new century, aging more slowly. Researcher Elizabeth Zelinsky found that her group at age seventy tested similar in cognitive ability to the historic levels of women in their mid-fifties.
3. Here's another goody for you: There's a substance called myelin, the fatty outer coating of the trillions of nerve fibers in the brain. The white matter acts like insulation on a wire and makes the connections work. Get this: the development of myelin in the brain area relating to language peaks from the 50s to the 60s (2001, Bartzokis). The insulation allows the neuron to recover faster after signals have been sent and get ready to send the next signal more quickly, giving brain cells what Bartzokis calls greater bandwidth. "As myelin increases, it builds connections that help us make sense of our surroundings."
I was going to end with a wisecrack like I usually do, but I guess I'd rather get serious. We often feel unhappy about getting older, because we're moving closer to the Great Beyond. Also, we're inundated with messages from the media 24/7 saying we're pointless if we're not young. It's easy to fall in line and drink the Kool-Aid.
But once you know about all the brain-benefits of age, you might talk about them more. You might celebrate the good news ("I'm more intuitive at this age. Really!") and spread it around. It might become common wisdom, and attitudes might begin to change in this youth-obsessed country. Wouldn't that be the gift that keeps on giving? Like to our kids?
Merry Christmas, my friends. Next week, we'll talk about how one woman was able to continue thriving mentally until she died, in spite of having severe, advanced Alzheimer's disease. See you Friday.
Midlife Crisis is Overblown, and Other Good News about Your Middle-Aged Brain
This is the second in a four-part series on your amazing, aging brain.
More good news: midlife crisis and the empty nest syndrome don't exist. There is no scientific research to support them. [Read more…]
Your Middle Age Brain: Brilliant and Ridiculous All At Once
This is the first in a series of four posts celebrating the aging brain.
I'm looking for my glasses, but I can't find them because they're on my head. So I find my backups and try to put them on, but discover I'm already wearing a pair.
I would feel stupid except at times, I feel downright brilliant. This has probably happened to you, too. Maybe you're listening to a younger person explain a problem at work or you're reading an article in the news, and suddenly all the facts connect and you come up with such an awesome solution you want to call the Nobel commission.
Except you don't quite trust what happened, because only yesterday you came home from the grocery store and put the bananas in the hamper. Maybe what you're having is some kind of brain flair before the cells die. You never shine so brightly as just before, you know – pffffft.
Stop worrying. Both things really are happening. New research confirms that you're both more addled and more brilliant than ever before in your life.
If you're a typical middle-aged* person, the glasses and bananas are real, and so is the intellect.
The science of the aging brain is quite new; conclusions being drawn just in the past few years prove that we have more to be excited about than ever. For example, it wasn't that long ago that we were told brain cells only died; none were regenerated. However, that has now been proven false. The brain DOES produce new cells, primarily in the area relative to memory.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
In a great new book, The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain, author (and science editor for the NY Times) Barbara Strauch produces tons of evidence that, while our older brains definitely have some weaknesses, they also develop amazing, surprising, even beautiful workarounds. In fact, the older brain is gearing up, not slowing down. All during December I'll be telling you what I learned, and – plagiarism alert! – excerpting heavily from her book. That's because I can't say it any better than Barbara did.
Here's some good news: in older age, you're smarter. This is because you've accumulated such a wealth of data, and the human brain has a special talent: deduction. Per Ms. Strauch:
The brain builds strength (over a lifetime) by building up millions upon millions of patterns, allowing us to "recognize even vaguely similar patterns and draw appropriate conclusions."
One researcher, E. Goldberg, calls it "mental magic."
"Frequently," says Goldberg, "when I am faced with what would appear from the outside to be a challenging problem, the grinding mental computation is somehow circumvented, rendered, as if by magic, unnecessary. The solution comes effortlessly, seemingly by itself…I seem to have gained in my capacity for instantaneous, almost unfairly easy insight…"
According to Barbara Strauch, when faced with new information, the older brain might take longer to assimilate and use it. But faced "with information that in some way – even a very small way-relates to what's already known, the middle-aged brain works quicker and smarter, discerning patterns and jumping to the logical endpoint."
This is an evolutionary triumph. We're not called homo sapiens – thinking man – for nothing.
Of course, there's no getting around the fact that we're more easily distracted and more likely to lose focus as we age. This is because as you get older, new information comes into the part of your brain that's good at daydreaming. So when you're trying to read a newspaper in Starbucks and somebody's jabbering loudly on his cellphone and you can't concentrate, it's because the daydreaming mechanism is doing a crappy job of managing the new info.
You can mitigate this with discipline and practice, but you have to work on it. Personally, I think daydreaming is a treat, and I'm not sure I want to curtail it.
Next week: your brain actually becomes stronger as you age.
*Definition of middle age, per Barbara Strauch, is that long period between youth and old age. I like it. I like it a whole lot better than assuming you're at the halfway point. Because as vibrant and kick-ass as I am, I'm sure as hell not going to make it to 116.
Thankful I'm Old(ish)
On this Thanksgiving, I pondered the fact that I'm grateful for you, my friends at Any Shiny Thing (sometimes I type it wrong and it comes out Any Whiny Thing, and that's good, too). [Read more…]

Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Miz is the last guy that Flair should be passing the torch down to.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
That's only because The Miz is still an absolutely mediocre wrestler.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Primo showed more personality than normal & his in ring talent is far from questionable, but Miz is meh & having the Figure Four makes it worse.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
I thought that it was funny. :D:
Oh...the match. lol. It was ok.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Primo impressed me too, Miz iz just so bad.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Miz has always been bad, since day fuckin 1
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Did you people notice how much time took and how awful Miz looked doing the Figure Four? I know hes bad but this SD he turned several levels of worse.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
I like The Miz, but it's no secret he's average at best in the ring. Guy just can't do it in the squared circle. From his mannerisms to the way he executes his moves all don't scream wrestler.
Hopefully he improves, but I doubt if we'll come to a point where we find ourselves giving plaudits to him for his ring work.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Miz has lost whatever WWE saw in him 2 years ago when he got his main event push. He sucks balls as a face.. its embarassing that they had to waste a Flair appearance on giving him a rub and the fans still didn't get behind him. Him using the figure four is insulting. If anything Ziggler should've been the one to get a rub from Flair.
Re: Miz Vs. Primo was horrible
Primo was great in the match. The miz reaffirmed he is hit and miss. And he swung the bat thrice for a, wait I am english, what do I know about rounders.

If you're having a Jubilee or British themed wedding then what could be more perfect than this London Underground map table plan!? Over to Gemma of The Wedding of my Dreams who created this simple and cute tutorial!
We have recently added a range map prints to our collection with the suggestion that brides can use them as table plans. The bride and groom would name their tables after London tube stops which mean something special to them as a couple and the whole map can be made into a table plan.
So far the London Underground maps have been most popular with our World map prints a close second!
Supplies Needed:
♥ London Underground Map Print available for purchase via Wedding of my Dreams
♥ A1 foam board
♥ Red polka dot tape
♥ Luggage Tags
♥ Scissors
♥ Blu-tack
Step One: Place the London underground print onto as piece of foam board and use decorative tape to stick the print onto the board. The board allows the table plan to sit on an easel or be leaned against a wall for all your guests to see.

Win $100,000 life sabbatical prize from IKEA, just write essay about helping others
Write an essay about how you would use $100,000 to help others and you could win a chance to do just that with the IKEA Life Improvement Sabbatical Contest.
If you ever dreamed of changing your life and someone else's, this is one big opportunity.
What: Hoping to help people who want to help others is the goal for the newly-launched Life Improvement Sabbatical Contest: It offers one person the chance to win a year-long sabbatical (worth $100,000) to advance a project that improves the life of others. Whether you'd like to volunteer at a homeless shelter or start a non-profit organization, this contest provides the winner the opportunity to pursue their passion.
When: You have until Nov. 8 to submit your Life Improvement proposal online at www.thelifeimprovementproject.com. Five finalists will be chosen from submissions by a panel of judges, and announced on Dec. 13. But the big winner will be chosen by public vote, and announced on January 31, 2011.
Keep your real-life job: The grand prize winner is not required to take a leave of absence from work. If the grand prize winner chooses to take leave from employment to work on their project, they can utilize a portion of the prize toward living expenses.
The contest is part of IKEA's national program – The Life Improvement Project – to inspire people to create a better everyday life at home and in their communities. The program also consists of:
A series of free Life Improvement Store Seminars hosted in IKEA stores across the U.S. focused on improving life at home.
A Life Improvement Co-Worker Challenge, a tandem internal contest giving IKEA employees (co-workers) the opportunity to win $10,000 to support a local community initiative of their choice.

If you don't want monkey droppings to adhere to the sole of your shoe, watch where you're walking. Maybe if you'd adhere, or stick to, the zoo rules and stay on the walking path, you wouldn't have to worry about it.
Adhere is from the 15th-century French verb meaning "to stick." Things that are sticky will adhere, or attach, to surfaces and stay there, whether you want them to or not; in other words, they're adhesive, an adjective that comes from the same Latin source as the French verb. When a person chooses to adhere to something, it is more of a choice to stick with it or agree to abide by rules or guidelines. You can also adhere by being loyal, as when you adhere to the high moral standards or behavior expected of some organization.
Definitions of adhere
v stick to firmly
v come or be in close contact with; stick or hold together and resist separation
bind, bond, hold fast, stick, stick to
stick to firmly
fasten with an adhesive material like glue
- Types:
- show 4 types...
- hide 4 types...
fit tightly, follow the contours of
stick together
clump together; as of bacteria, red blood cells, etc.
haemagglutinate, hemagglutinate
cause the clumping together (of red blood cells)
v follow through or carry out a plan without deviation
"They adhered to their plan"
- Type of:
carry out, follow out, follow through, follow up, go through, implement, put through
pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue

Most of the south Mendocino Coast consists of 50′ to 100′ high bluffs above a rocky shoreline. Here and there are beautiful beaches in protected coves. Most access is across private property and is therefore restricted. Several Serenisea Vacation Homes have access to "private" beaches. To wiggle your toes in the sand at beaches available to the public, we suggest:
- Cooks Beach: About 2 miles north of Gualala, 1 mile south of Anchor Bay on C.R. 526. A perfect cove beach across the road and just south of St. Orres road (See pictures). Wind protected, with a gorgeous view overlook and well developed access trail. Limited parking by trail.
- Anchor Bay Beach: A gorgeous 1/2 mile beach bordering Anchor Bay, 4 miles north of Gualala. A favorite, relatively safe beach for picnics, play, exploring tide pools, and launching small boats or ocean kayaks for fishing or diving. Access is via a path through the Anchor Bay Campground.
There is a small fee for beach access. If someone in your party is physically challenged, or if you have a boat, there are a few parking spots located in the campground. Check at the campground office.
- Gualala Point Park: located south the Gualala River Bridge. This mile long beach sits between the mouth of the Gualala river and the Pacific Ocean. A great spot to watch thundering surf in the winter. The park also gives access to several miles of bluff trails on the Sea Ranch, providing the best hiking in the immediate area.
- Getchell Cove: Adjoining Serenisea, great rocky cove for exploring tide pools, rock fishing, or diving. The path starts next to the Serenisea office. View the Serenisea Grounds.
Stornetta Public Lands: On the road to the Pt. Arena Lighthouse, a vast expanse of former ranch land fronting the ocean. Trails will lead you along the bluff to views of massive sea caves in the bluff face and even a couple of sinkholes where the cave roof has collapsed allowing you to view wave action in a hole 50′ or more from the actual bluff edge. Kinda bizarre, kinda cool.
- Manchester State Beach: (30 minutes north of Gualala) Over six miles of sand beach and almost no people. Wonderful for beach combing, picnics, or playing hide and seek in the sand dunes. The Alder creek access point is where the San Andreas fault goes out to sea.
- Salt Point State Park: (25 minutes south of Gualala) Marine preserve, plus Kruse Ranch Rhododendron State reserve. You'll find miles of nature trails for serious hikers through this large state park, as well as pocket beaches, tide pools and great spots to picnic.
Although Highway One was designated Bicentennial Bike Route, we don't recommend it for casual riding. Shoulders are narrow to nonexistent on virtually all roads in the area. Better areas for pleasant rides include along the Gualala river. This ride starts just south of downtown Gualala, and may include backwoods logging roads, depending on permitted access at the time. Any stretch of the ridge road paralleling Highway 1 will give you a modest challenge and much less traffic. A good starting point is Bower Community Park. Serious cyclists can bike 20 miles of more of physically demanding road without having to "challenge" Highway 1.
For additional information on local rides, and bike rentals, call Adventure Rents at (707) 884-4386.
Some of the best surf spots in northern California are in our area. They include:
- About 14 miles south of Gualala, at the SON 44.2 mile post you'll frequently find cars and vans parked with empty surf board racks. An unmarked location with great action.
- About 9 miles south of Gualala, at Black Point Beach just north of the Sea Ranch Lodge. Beautiful west-facing beach for summer surfing.
- About 11 miles north of Gualala (1 mile + north of Schooner Gulch Bridge), Moat Creek access point. Marked but not very obvious. Also provides access to Bowling Ball Beach.
- Arena Cove in Pt. Arena. On the north rim of the cove a quarter mile west of the pier. South facing rocky shoreline with most consistent action in the area.
Check here for coastal conditions: Mendocino Coast Marine Report and Northern California Surf Report
The Gualala River is a popular playground with locals. During the winter this is a favorite river for steelhead (an ocean-going trout) fishing. During the summer months a favorite picnic and swimming area for families is a broad sand and gravel bar about a mile upstream from the Gualala River Redwood Park Campground. Temperatures can be 10-15 degrees warmer here than they will be by the ocean. Adventure Rents rents kayaks, canoes, and bicycles. Call (707)884-4386 for more information.
For something different and exciting, try ocean kayaking. Force 10 Ocean Whitewater in Elk leads ocean kayaking trips during the summer months. Elk is about 40 minutes north on Highway 1. Call (707)877-3505.
Horseback riding is available through the family owned and operated Ross Ranch. Rides can be arranged for folks of all skill levels. Enjoy trail rides through the inland coastal mountains of Elk or along spectacular Manchester Beach. For reservations and information, call (707)877-1834. Beach horseback riding is also available at Ricochet Ridge Ranch in Ft. Bragg. Call (707) 964-7669. Ft. Bragg is located 1 1/2 hours north on Highway 1.
During the winter months steelhead fishing is popular on local rivers including the Gualala, Garcia, and Alder creek. In the summer cabazone, and ling cod are the tastiest (and ugliest) of the fish sought by folks fishing from the rocks. These fish plus salmon and shark (small) can be taken from charter boats that operate out of Bodega Bay, Pt. Arena and Ft. Bragg. For Pt. Arena charter information call the Arena Cove Harbor Master at (707)882-2583. Fishing licenses are available at local sporting goods stores; including Gualala Sport and Tackle in the Sundstrom Mall in downtown Gualala. Before you pick up your pole, make sure you pick up a copy of the current DFG regulations, free where licenses are sold.
The kelp forests along our coast are abundant with marine life, and divers will find lots of protected coves excellent for observing fish and marine creatures. Salt Point Park, located 1/2 hour south, is a marine preserve, and a popular spot for beginning dive classes. Every year a few divers who are in poor physical condition, or who choose to enter a rough ocean, lose their lives. Dive smart. Abalone season is split in Northern California; abs may be taken during the months of April through June, and August through November. Abalone taking is restricted to noncommercial sports fishing without SCUBA gear. The rules are strictly enforced, to conserve this precious animal. A valid license, abalone stamp, a measuring iron and a complete knowledge of the rules and limits are necessary (California Fish & Game Dept).
The Sea Ranch Golf Course is open the public seven days a week. The original nine holes was rated among the top five, nine hole courses in the nation. The new back nine should measure up to that standard as it matures. The course is rated 72.3 by the NCGA. Green fees vary for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and are quite reasonable for a privately owned course. Clubs, push and electric golf carts may be rented. For information and reservations, call (707)785-2468.
Two fine courts are available at Bower Community Park above Gualala. Sneak up during the week when the locals are not so busy getting their exercise.
The magnificent California Gray Whales leave their summer feeding grounds in the Arctic each Fall to travel 6,000 miles the warm lagoons of Baja California, where the females give birth to their calves. The whales pass near our coast going south in early winter, beginning around Thanksgiving. The bachelors tend to head north as early as January, with the mothers and their young following in March and April. They frequently come within a couple hundred yards of shore when northbound. A great viewing spot is the picnic table at Serenisea, and from most of the Serenisea Vacation Homes.
The coast is world renown for bird watchers. From Thanksgiving through Easter, the Garcia River Flats north of Pt. Arena are the wintering grounds of the Whistling Swans. These lovely birds migrate here from the Arctic each year. A wayward Albatross has been sighted at the Pt. Arena pier for the last five years. Other seasonal visitors include brown pelicans, egrets, and an occasional eagle. Local birds range from hummingbirds to jays, owls, gulls, cormorants, woodpeckers and a variety of hawks.
On any given weekend you'll find everything from symphony concerts to local bands to "brand-name" artists performing up and down the coast. Check the current edition of the "Splash" section of the Independent Coast Observer (our local paper) for information about dances, concerts, BBQ's, poetry readings, drama, and lectures. The old Arena Theater in Pt. Arena has been restored and is now one of the most charming movie houses north of San Francisco. There's also the Gualala Video store to sate your hunger for Hollywood.
There are several fine galleries in the area. Henley's Gallery, Stuart-Kummer Gallery, Alinder Gallery of Fine Photography, and The Dolphin Gallery in Gualala. Throughout the year, special art exhibits are open at the Gualala Arts Center. The Independent Coast Observer has detailed listing of concerts, recitals, and gallery openings scheduled during your stay. Each year, the third weekend in August, Gualala Arts sponsors the "Art in the Redwoods," a festival combining a juried fine arts show, craft fair, music, and drama. Gualala Arts also sponsors many other events during the year. For more information call (707)884-1138, or visit gualalaarts.org.
For folks staying more than a couple of days, we suggest taking day trips to a variety of special locations to enrich your experience on our coast: Perhaps you'd enjoy:
- Fort Ross – the last Russian settlement in the continental U.S. A historic fort on the ocean, beautifully restored. Interpretive center, picnic area, guides. Russian History Day held each year takes you back in time via the reenactment of events in the history of the fort. Call (707)847-3286 for information.
- Anderson Valley – running from Boonville (a village with its own language – Boontling), to the mouth of the Navarro river you can experience everything from virgin redwoods to sipping some of the world's great wines made in the valley's wineries. Make the trip as a wonderful loop drive that will include about 40 miles of dramatic rural coastline in the bargain.
- Mendocino – some call it Disneyland north, but it is still a unique combination of a well preserved, New England style village filled with Victorian homes, distinctive shops, galleries, and fine food emporiums. There's an excellent performing arts company. Call (707) 937-4477 for schedule and fabulous music festival on the bluff in July. (Call (707)937-2044 for information). Some outstanding state parks (just a few: Mendocino Headlands, Russian Gulch, Caspar Headlands) with extensive hiking trails are nearby for those who want to go natural.
- The Skunk Train out of Ft Bragg. You don't have to be a rail buff to enjoy this trip in the California Western Railroad over the river and through the woods between Ft. Bragg & Willits. It you take the full day trip, be sure to visit the Mendocino County Museum in Willits with its world-class Indian basket collection and new steam railroad exhibit. Call (707)964-6371 for information.

Dr Graeme Nelson – RIP
"Dr Graeme Nelson was a keen reader of WildSnow, and a regular poster." Those words flew in with heavy wings a few days ago. Our sport has its dangers, and once in a while a beloved "WildSnower" doesn't return from a trip. This past August 24, Graeme was ski mountaineering in Australia (his home) and took a sliding fall on hard snow, resulting in his death. News report here.
But mostly, we develop our relationships when we take the time and sometimes emotional risk of doing public comments on blog posts. Graeme was one such commenter, and I always appreciated his chiming in on diverse subjects.
Most of the comments under the name "Graeme" on WildSnow.com are from Dr. Nelson, you can search for a few of them here, but there are many more beyond the search results.
We offer condolences to Graeme's family and friends. If you feel called to do so, you can donate in memory of Dr Grame Nelson. We put one in there from WildSnow. Least we could do. Also, feel free to leave condolences as comments on this blog post.
Accident details may be forthcoming, but we've been asked to not focus on that at this time.

On behalf of Graeme's family, thank you Wildsnow for donating to MSF (Doctors without Borders) in his memory, as well as for the caring comments.
It's amazing how many people's lives he touched, all over the world.

Least we could do, sorry for your loss…
Got something to say? Please do so.

text: 836 FXUS63 KDMX 280522 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1222 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM.../Tonight/ Issued at 349 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Negatively-tilted H300 trough axis currently over the Texas Panhandle will lift northeast tonight into east central KS, helping to fuel the next round of showers and storms for Iowa. At the surface, a broad surface trough encompasses the state with multiple embedded outflow boundaries courtesy of this morning`s convection. The break between these two rounds of precis will be short-lived, with the next round of multi-cellular convection already developing across eastern Kansas and western Missouri. Most synoptic and mesoscale models are in good agreement on the timing of this precis but are struggling with the overall areal extent and amounts. Leaned towards the 27.18Z HRRR and GFS with the placement of the heaviest rainfall/highest POPs. Axis of elevated H700-500 mixing ratios will lift north through Iowa between 00 and 09Z with the best chance of heavy rainfall over the southeast CWA. RUC/NAM/GFS soundings for Des Moines and west are rather dry below 800mb, lending further confidence in the heaviest rainfall falling in the east. Localized heavy rainfall will be the biggest threat from these storms tonight given the weak to modest instability profiles and weak flow below 600 mb. .LONG TERM.../Saturday through Friday/ Issued at 349 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 The primary concerns remain the slow evolution of the current Plains long wave trough and the next northern stream long wave cycle toward the middle of next week. Potent short wave/PV anomaly should be right along the NE/IA border at 12z with fairly decent synoptic scale rise/fall couplet moving through northern Iowa. The high res models do not depict the areal coverage one might expect versus this degree of forcing, but confidence is still there that weak convection will be lifting toward the Minnesota border in the 09-15z time frame so pops remain high. Peak heating convection will likely follow, mainly over central and southeastern sections by afternoon as well. MLCapes looks to be in the 1.5-2.5k j/g range with only moderate deep bulk shear. Thus agree with SPC midday Day 2 outlook pulling the Marginal Risk back farther to the north and west. None of the threat probs are particularly high, but hail, wind and tornadoes are all still on the table depending on how much cells organize due to limited shear. Even non-supercell tornadoes are possible considering low LCLs and 0-3km Capes 100 j/kg or more. The potential should decrease into the evening with the loss of large scale forcing and heating with only low chances relegated to far northeastern sections into early Sunday morning. This will lead to a relative min and dry break Sunday into Sunday Night before the attention again turns upstream. Unfortunately the evolution of the long wave pattern next week is not clear cut with initially some timing issues with the surface reflections into Tuesday, and the degree of long wave phasing into Thursday. There is low confidence in this time window with individual GEFS H5 members leaning both toward the operational run and the ECMWF. As far as sensible weather, this would result in relatively higher confidence in weak warm advection convection crossing the Missouri Valley Sunday Night into Monday. This could potentially continue into Tuesday as well, but questions arise with regard to the proximity to the surface trough and potential low level convergence during afternoon peak heating. The faster ECMWF solution would be more conducive with the slower GFS less so and favoring weak warm advection precis lingering into the night with a farther west genesis region. The ECMWF would suggest precis exiting with mainly dry northwest flow while the GFS hangups up a drifting upper low through the Central Plains. Would tend to favor more phased ECMWF solution at this point with the GEFS and ECMWF ensembles pointing in that direction and although neither are great, the ECMWF has slightly better run to run continuity and passes the eye ball test better. Thus have keep only some slights going into the end of the next work week lending the GFS just a little credence. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night/ Issued at 1213 AM CDT Sat May 28 2016 Widespread SHRA with some TSRA expected across the region overnight as an upper level storm system moves through. Mainly VFR conditions expected...except for some brief MVFR vsbys or cigs especially at the KOTM and KDSM terminals. Expect a temporary lull in precip chances on Saturday morning across the south...but returning by midday before moving out by late Saturday evening. && .DMX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Do you do competitive battling?

I did for awhile a few years back. Like Twilight Sky, I just sort of jumped into it with no knowledge about it whatsoever. Suffice to say, I lost a lot of battles but learned just as much along the way. What had seemed confusing to me before, started to make sense and became easier to do. Before I knew it, I was strategizing teams, EV training, and breeding Pokémon like a madman making sure I got things just right. I also started trading a lot more and watching a ton of competitive Wi-Fi battles on Youtube.
Eventually though, I just grew tired of it and bored. Competitive battling started to become nothing more than rinse and repeat with people. The Pokémon used were less of a surprise since almost everyone used the same Pokémon for it.
So that's when I just took a break and tried, emphasis on tried, to focus my attention on using my newly acquired competitive skills for the Battle Frontier challenge. At least here I could expand the variety of Pokémon I could choose from. It was fun for awhile, but then I got bored of doing that too. Haha.
I guess I could say competitive battling just isn't my thing anymore. Although, I do like that Gen VI should certainly change the rules of the meta game for people. I, however, just don't see myself getting back into it again. However, I don't plan on letting the skills I learned go to waste in-game. It's certainly helped me become a better player overall and for anyone who hasn't ate east tried competitive battling, I'd urge them to give it a shot. It doesn't take too long to learn the ropes of the meta game.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Days before his 17th-ranked Buckeyes hit the road for the first time to play Miami, Ohio State coach Luke Fickell says he's still unsure if three top suspended players will be available.
Starting tailback Jordan Hall and cornerback Travis Howard, along with backup safety Corey Brown, have been suspended two games so far for accepting $200 in cash to attend a charity event in suburban Cleveland in February.
Ohio State (2-0) will start Joe Bauserman at quarterback against the Hurricanes, but unlike last week's narrow 27-22 victory over Toledo, backup Braxton Miller is expected to also see playing time.
The Buckeyes are also without four other players — three starters and a backup — suspended for the first five games for getting improper benefits from a local tattoo-parlor owner.

Hi again...
Thursday, December 03, 2009
So like quite a few people I see on here... and other places... I lost track of my weight loss goals... and just sank back into the "normal" lifestyle I had been living.
I'm stopping that once again. While last time my heart was surely in the right place, my will was still not completely there. Not only did I start slow, but I think I went TOO slow. I wouldn't think there was such a thing, but I wasn't keeping up with my low goals I had created.
All of that is behind me now. I forgive myself for not sticking to my goals. I am ok with who I am and acknowledge the place that I'm starting once again. It's really important to focus on the future than any types of failures of the past. Sure, it stinks that I didn't hold to it, but you know what? It's ok. I'm going to do it this time.
So here's my plan. I realized after Thanksgiving that I didn't gain any weight during the holiday... crazy, huh? I was watching what I was eating, but not because I had to..but because I wanted to. I finally got to a place in my life where I just wasn't happy with how things were going. I've been maintaining my weight at this level because I've been paying closer attention to what I've been eating. Now it's time to lower my weight!
A good friend invited me to the gym on Black Friday, and I went (instead of shopping...or standing in line!). I actually enjoyed the experience so much that by Monday, I had my own gym membership at his gym. Now I don't want to say that everything will be perfect or that I'll never mess up, but this past week of working out has actually been fulfilling. He has been training me on how to lose weight as well as build muscle.
Before, while having a very solid concept of walking and getting exercise, I didn't really keep much in the way of accountability. But this is what it DID do... at that time, I cut sodas out of my system. I cut most salts out of my system. I slowed down on "super sizing" nearly everything I'd eat. I realized that the amount of food I put into my system was really the issue.
The seed was planted then and my workouts today wouldn't have happened had my first attempt not happened. I've not come a long way in weight loss just yet, but I will. And I will because I'm doing it right and realizing how much I actually enjoy what it is that's happening.
The hardest part of this fresh start is waiting to see the results. I want to see them already, but the truth is that I have to wait awhile before I start to see anything happen. I'm learning to be ok with that.
Well, no pictures today... but I want everyone to walk away with this. Forgive what has happened to you... don't focus on what you missed or what you ate that you shouldn't have... FORGIVE yourself and start fresh. I am.

Moving this reopened issue out from current integration. Please, re-submit it for integration once ready.
We are using these headers in very few places, I am wondering what caching breakage are you talking about. Anyway I will look at your patch again and the minify, last time it seemed to me your patch would not work (may be it was just CSS).
Looks like patch from Andrew should work better, but it needs the ststus code verification to prevent future problems.
Thanks Petr,
I only said that it could possibly break things
But even if it doesn't now, it could cause issues down the road, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to be unsetting or modifying headers in our JS libraries, when they could be (and are) included in other code which is used for standard page generation.
Resubmitting for integration because the patch proposed in
MDL-40789 did not work for some unknown reason for me, stable branches use the js minification only in scripts that are not affected by the unsetting of caching properties in _SERVER global. MDL-40995 contains a fully rewritten minify support that should be fixing all known and potential issues. I have discussed this with Andrew already, he is going to review it.
I can two similar issues, this and
MDL-40789. Andrew Nicols do you agree with this approach?
Petr, since
MDL-40995 is already integrated, is unsetting $_SERVER vars is still needed in master? MDL-40995 integration means that we only need to apply patches for stable branches, it is already in master.
I guess the testing instructions meant to say lib/javascript.php and not lib/jabascroipt.php?
If so, the issue passes.
I tested a few things randomly, nothing seems to be broken.
Huzzah, your code made it into Moodle. Perhaps now things are ever so slightly better!

The Deepest South: The United States, Brazil, and the African Slave Trade
By Gerald Horne
This volume analyzes the nature of the law school in the university environment, confronting the tension between the vision of law school as a training ground for new lawyers versus the vision of law school place for original scholarship and academic discourse. In examining the role of the law school in modern society, sections are devoted to a myriad of controversial areas of legal study, such as feminist theory, race theory, and post-modernism. This volume offers scholars of legal education a map to the future of law schools.

Hi Ladies,
Several weeks ago when I had my 20 week appt, I asked when my next sonogram was and they said that in most "normal" circumstances, that was the last one???
This seems insane! They don't check on the baby via sonogram for the remainder of the whole pregnancy?
Was anyone else told the same thing by their doctor?
This just doesn't seem right, but what can I do? I love my doctors office and the fabulous, but, ahhhh, no more sonograms!!!!

Hamilton-Brown sought a move away from Surrey in the wake of his long-time friend and team-mate Tom Maynard's death in June, and was placed on compassionate leave.
The 25-year-old, who had signed a new deal until the end of 2014 earlier this year, returned to action after a month away but struggled with his form.
Surrey team director Chris Adams announced at the start of September that Hamilton-Brown would be allowed to talk to other counties, and Sussex faced competition from Somerset for his signature.
Hamilton-Brown began his career at Surrey before joining Sussex ahead of the 2008 season. He returned to Surrey for the 2010 campaign, and was made captain at the age of 22 despite his limited first-class experience.
He helped Surrey win the Clydesdale Bank 40 in 2011 and to promotion to Division One of the County Championship.
Now Hove beckons again, with Sussex saying they are "delighted" to have brought in the batsman on a three-year contract.
Hamilton-Brown said: "Losing my best friend Tom in June was indescribably painful. We were extremely close but ultimately I know I will emerge from this awful tragedy with renewed strength and purpose.
"I am delighted to be returning to Sussex, a club where I was previously very happy. I would like to thank Mark Robinson, his coaching staff, the players, management and board at Sussex for welcoming me back so warmly.
"There is nothing like feeling wanted to raise spirits and I fully intend to repay the confidence they have shown in me."
Robinson, Sussex's cricket manager, said of Hamilton-Brown: "He is a very talented cricketer who is yet to reach his full potential, which makes him such an exciting and dangerous player."

Last year my wife and I filed as married filing jointly. The
Resolved Question:
Last year my wife and I filed as
married filing jointly
. The problem is a SBA loan that she had the was defaulted when she was out of work on bed rest during her pregnancy and we couldn't keep up with it. Last year they took our whole refund and now we pay on it every month. I have 2 questions. 1) Is there any way that we can keep our refund this year now that we are paying on the SBA loan monthly? 2) Can we file married filing separately and can I claim our son and other expenses or will they still take my refund also since we are married? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Is there any way that we can keep our refund this year now that we are paying on the SBA loan monthly?
A: The simple means of avoiding having your refund taken is to change your W-4 employee
or 1040-ES
statements so that you end up owing a small amount of money when your return is due. That way, there is no refund to seize.
At this point, if you or your spouse are making estimated
tax payments
, then you would have one more due before your personal or
business tax
return is due. So, you may want to consider not making that payment, and thereby reducing the amount of any refund by at least that amount.
Unfortunately, changing your W-4 (if you are an employee) at this point would do no good, because you have already paid all your taxes owed for the 2012 tax year.
The only thing you could do if what I'm suggesting does not work would be to ask the creditor to not seize the refund, and see if they will agree.
2) Can we file married filing separately and can I claim our son and other expenses or will they still take my refund also since we are married? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: This is a very complicated question. Unless you have a pare or postmarital agreement recognized as legal under Louisiana
which provides that you and your spouse have decided to treat your income from all sources as separate, then your community income can be held liable for the debt of your spouse.
A premarital agreement is fairly straightforward to accomplish this goal. But, a postmarital agreement will almost certainly require an attorney to draft the document and ensure that it is in fact lawful in Louisiana -- because if you get it wrong, then your protection would be void. And, of course, the cost of having the agreement drafted may be more than the refund you would save -- so, it's probably not a realistic option.
Hope this helps.

Ok thank you. I thought maybe since the SBA loan was under her name we could have filed separately. But I guess I will try to see if I can talk the collection agency out of taking the whole refund.
replied 3 years ago.
Your circumstance may not be a lost cause. If you file separately, it's possible that the "administrative offset" (the term used by the government when it seizes money at one agency to pay a debt to another) may not attach to your separate return. The real issue, in my opinion, is whether or not, by your filing as married-separate, your taxes increase, such that there is little or no benefit in filing married-separately.
You may want to consider creating a joint return and then a separate return for both you and your spouse. Then compare the tax outcomes and see if it makes sense to file married-separately.
There is also the possibility of filing married-jointly, and then you file as an "injured spouse" (
see this link
). The question is whether or not your spouse incurred the debt before marriage. If she did, then you may be an injured spouse. If not, then your community property interest in a joint tax return/refund is liable for your spouse's debt -- which would eliminate this as an option.
Hope this helps.

I have one more question regarding filing seperatly. How would that work with our child? Would I be able to claim him on my return and not on her return ? So that way the child tax credit would be on my return? Sorry if some of the questions may sound kind of simple. I really don't know a whole lot when it comes to taxes. I just want to get as much back as possible for my family. Thank you.
replied 3 years ago.
Married-separate filers cannot take the child and
dependent care credit
. However, you can agree among yourself, which taxpayer will use the dependent exemption. Note that these are different issues for tax purposes, which is why I suggest that you get yourself some tax prep software and prepare
tax returns
as if you are married filing jointly, and then married-filing separately. There are too many variables to know whether or not a particular taxpayer scenario will benefit from one or the other filing status -- especially given your additional legal issue of an administrative offset.
I believe that you will find that the cost of filing separately will overwhelm any benefit achieved from avoiding the administrative offset on your refund -- but, there's no way to be sure, other than to create some pro forma tax returns and see how the numbers work out.
Hope this helps.
