Article of focus: Trust in the Lord and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him. (Psalm 37:3-5, 7a)
Yes, America will devise an operation to stop sex trafficking, persecute the offenders, and follow up from time to time until the cities believe it has been controlled. Then we have to do it again…and again. It's as if we are stopping a leak from the inside and ignoring the hole that's on the outside causing the inside to leak. The women involved in this operation are victims of lack of stability in the government and homes of Latin America.
America's government, for example, wants a decrease of teen pregnancy and to lower the number of people with sexual diseases, but promotes the act. As you walk along throughout a grocery store, you will see several pictures on magazines, clothing, and merchandise that promotes sex and lack of modesty. I picked up a book titled, Temporary Tattoos for Girls, in Hastings bookstore. The pages showed half naked people showing off their tattoos. The book says it's for girls, not teens or adults. Obviously, it's not healthy for anyone, but you get the point.
The result of these type of decisions is that the biggest revenue making industry in America is the pornography industry. Now, cartoons for kids around the age of seven show characters that wear mini skirts and lipstick; see "Brats". Our president supports abortion. Wow, is there a way we can influence sex without possibility of responsibility, better? On the same note, Latin America is apart of this operation for a reason.
Now, surrounding the news is a prostitution operation stemming from Latin America and affecting America. American men are finding Latin American women, in desperation because of their country's instability, as an easy opportunity to make money. They offer the women a life of freedom and force them to be apart of sex trafficking once they cross the US border.
Keep in mind, Latin America's largest religion of choice is Catholicism, a religion that is known for believers making their own decisions they feel is right. Look into the daily news for Latin America and you will see that the country is full of religious conflict between different denominations and beliefs. Obviously, if man is the one making the rules, the area the man has dominion over will be out of order.
Until Latin America and America has more stability, Abilene and states throughout America will grow in these types of crimes. When and if stability comes to these nations, it will be because the actions of the leaders making decisions within to glorify God.

A Czech Republic witness at Brno reported watching and videotaping a disc-shaped UFO hovering over the Petrov Cathedral that gained and dropped in altitude before descending and moving away on April 2, 2014, according to testimony in Case 55169 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was traveling home from a pub in Brno when he looked up and noticed the object hovering just above the Petrov Cathedral that was less than 500 feet away and at about the tree top level.
"It was shapely, ascending and descending," the witness stated. "Later, the object moved east very fast, stopping on the spot."
The witness then went home, saw the object again, and was unable to identify it.
"I looked out of the window and I could still see the object, so i started recording it on my tablet. The rest is seen on the video. The object descended in the eastern horizon. I was a little bit scared and surprised from the event."
The witness uploaded one video clip with the MUFON report, which was filed on April 2, 2014.
Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic by population and area, the largest Moravian city, and the historical capital city of the Margraviate of Moravia. Brno is the administrative center of the South Moravian Region in which it forms a separate district (Brno-City District). The city lies at the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers and has about 400,000 residents; its greater metropolitan area is home to more than 800,000 people while its larger urban zone had population of about 730,000 in 2004.

As those in power continue to hang onto the 19th century model of education or accept Common Core indoctrination for their students, parents are moving toward becoming the "deciders" as they chose charter and private schools, homeschooling, and online programs, it is leaving thousands of empty school buildings all across America.
According to a recent study among the cities with vacant school buildings are
- Atlanta
- Chicago
- Cincinnati
- Cleveland
- Detroit
- Kansas City
- Milwakee
- Philadelphia
- Pittsburg
- St. Louis
- Tulsa
- Washington
Author Glenn H. Reynolds provides insights into why parents are abandoning traditional public education and why it will continue to be abandoned. In "The New School" book he maintains that the concept of "one size fits all" mentality by educators is driving the demise of the public school system. He examines how the leftist university bias further exacerbates programs that have little to do with teaching students how to learn and think.
Reynolds points out that what is driving all the changes that parents are seeking is their ability to access data and technology in the knowledge industry that is leading to customization and scalable innovations far beyond what the public schools are offering.
Public school buildings increasingly stand empty as parents rather than educators face the fact that the model of education which was appropriate for an industrial economy is now obsolete. New models powered by the Internet are being developed for the "information age" that leaves many of the "one size fits all" concept dated.
Competition brought about by School Choice and vouchers fueled by home schooling organizations that assist parents in teaching, charter and private schools that are entrepreneurs in meeting the competition for students and schools that provide graduation degrees for students taking classes from Internet- based schools will lead to more empty school buildings as education becomes more customized to fit the needs of students in the 21st century.

As the dark and dreary winter months continue, some may begin to experience symptoms of depression. Commonly called the 'winter blues', these symptoms can also be signs of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
According to Mental Health America, SAD affects half a million people every winter between September and April. The 'winter blues' is a milder form of SAD and is possibly even more widespread.
Reduced amount of sunlight in winter months has been linked as a cause for SAD and the winter blues. The sleep-related hormone, melatonin, which can cause depression and produces at increased levels in the dark, has also been linked.
Symptoms of SAD include depressed feelings, mood changes, anxiety, sleep problems, lethargy, overeating (particularly high starch/carbohydrate foods), social problems, and sexual problems.
The most common treatment for SAD is phototherapy, also known as bright light therapy. This involves exposure to light lamps as a way to counter the darkness of the winter months. However, for milder symptoms, spending more time outside during the day can be helpful. According to Mental Health America, one study found that an hour's walk in winter sunlight was as effective as two and a half hours under bright artificial light.
Other tips to beat the winter blues include eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and staying connected with social support systems.
If you are experiencing symptoms of SAD, discuss your treatment options with your doctor and/or mental health professional.

Hope police were still looking Monday for a pair of men who almost completed a daring early-morning theft of an automated teller machine from a local drug store. Hope Police Assistant Chief Kim Tomlin said this morning that investigators are working from evidence taken at the scene to identify the two men who allegedly broke into the Walgreen's Drug Store at Bill Clinton Drive and North Hervey Street about 6 a.m. Saturday and stole the Diamond Bank ATM, but later crashed their getaway vehicle on Interstate 30 and fled on foot. Workers at the pharmacy said Saturday the pair apparently broke through two plate glass window panes at the front entrance, using one to gain entry into the building, and the other to possibly remove the ATM. The machine was bolted to the floor near the cash register queue at the front of the store. All four bolts were apparently replaced after the to men removed the machine. Tomlin said once the two thieves got the ATM outside, they loaded it into a gray Astro van and drove away onto Interstate 30. She said HPD officers alerted by the burglar alarm system at the store gave chase, later locating the van off the roadway at the 22 mile marker on I-30 after it had apparently collided with a tree. Tomlin said the thieves fled on foot, and that officers recovered the van and the ATM.

From DreamHost
Somebody can explain me why is Webdav recommended here, if simply pushing over ssh or even using rsync is much more simple? --Ehabkost 10:53, 28 June 2007 (PDT)
- I didn't see anything in the article that "recommended" WebDAV, or even Git. An author wanted to prepare this article on using Git with DreamHost, and made it available for anyone who want to use it, which is what the wiki is for. I don't use WebDAV either, for a variety of reasons, but I recognize that others might. -- Rlparker 13:22, 28 June 2007 (PDT)
- Markc 02:39, 4 December 2007 (PST): I think the webdav access is so that multiple users can have access to the same repo, or folder, seeing that it does not seem to be possible for DH to offer multiple ftp or ssh user access to the same domain/folder, but they do provide multple access via .htaccess and therefor webdav. I've been thru this tutorial a couple of times and it doesn't seem to work OOTB. Also, the ">" markers in front of each CLI example is completely redundant and annoying and destroys any chance of copying and pasting multiple lines.
- The reason that it recommends WebDAV first is that in order to do ssh syncing, git needs to be installed on the DreamHost server. This requires building a custom binary which disables mmap, as per the steps in instruction three. Otherwise git-upload-pack will be killed by the DreamHost process polics. --EvanCortens 14:41, 3 June 2008 (PDT)
git-push is not available for http/https repository when not compiled with USE_CURL_MULTI
I asked how to resolve this in the Git IRC chan, and was ignored. Any ideas? --Ideogon 22:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Git Push over HTTP/HTTPS Not avail on Mac OS X view Mac Ports
After a bit of research it seems that CURL compilation into GIT was not entirely successful for the Git on Mac OS X. As I was already mounting the git repository via WebDAV you an push and pull to your locally mounted repository by replacing the http URL with the path to your mounted WebDAV (/Volumes/<name of mount>/<path to repo>). This worked pretty well for me and works well with Dreamhost with very little configuration. --krisfox 12:35 January 11, 2009

Homeopathy is undergoing a major rebirth and in that process there is the coming to life of many new and wonderful resources for student and doctor alike. During the middle years of this century, there was a drought of new information in homeopathy, reflecting a long pause in our growth and development. Happily, we are beyond that now with a growing group of homeopaths who have extensive experience and are able to articulately share their knowledge and expertise. We will focus this column on those books which will thankfully be moving homeopathy into the twenty first century.
The Homeopathic
Proving of Hydrogen
by The Dynamis School
Reviewed by Julian Jonas, C.A.
In the beginning there were provings: the experiments that provided a raw database of homeopathic information. They formed the basis for understanding the effects and uses of our pharmacopeia. All homeopaths are familiar with the voluminous accounts of these investigations in some of our most cherished literature.
How are we currently using this information? For the most part, most students learn the materia medica through the perceptions and interpretations given to us by our past and current masters. Bits and pieces of the provings are quoted by Boericke, Kent and in other works, but they are rarely used as textbooks.
In comparison to the insightful images and characteristic symptoms that are provided by our best teachers, the provings themselves seem much more cumbersome to study. It is difficult to extract the information that will be clinically useful, and often the psychological picture is difficult to apply to modern day patients. Provings are sometimes useful as reference material for challenging cases, but they are secondary sources for learning.
Today, very few people (at least in the West) are even undertaking this formidable type of research for a variety of reasons. First, it demands an enormous amount of work and time to organize the provers, monitor the process over several years, and finally collate the data. Then, there are other possible complications such as lack of financial resources and liability concerns. Finally, there is the question of whether or not we need to add more remedies to the materia medica when most of us feel we are not adequately acquainted with what we already have.
Jeremy Sherr seems undaunted by these concerns. He has followed in the tradition of our most respected predecessors by continuing to introduce new remedies to the materia medica through extensive provings. His work on Scorpion a few years ago set the stage for provings conducted on Hydrogen and Chocolate over the last four years.
Why Hydrogen? Well, "in the beginning was hydrogen." It is the primordial element. What could be a more profound medicine? In his introduction, Jeremy relates that he investigated the relationship of the periodic table and homeopathy. He discovered that, "the more primary an element the more anti-psoric and deep acting it appeared to be." So he decided to start at the beginning with "the mother of all substance, the most simple manifestation of matter."
Now, the task of reviewing "The Homeopathic Proving of Hydrogen" appeared at first to be somewhat daunting. The product of Jeremy Sherr and his Dynamis School, its one hundred plus pages contains over one thousand symptoms and an accompanying repertory of the remedy. I had never before looked over such raw data in detail, let alone tried to bring some sort of coherence to its content, and then comment on it.
It reminded me of a project I had in college when the professor in an art history class asked (forced) all of the students to describe and comment on a piece of ancient Chinese pottery of our choice. I remember picking out one blue vase from the university museum, placing it on a stand in front of me, and sitting down to contemplate it. Untrained and inexperienced in the world of art, my only thought was, "What on earth am I going to say about this thing?" We sat and faced each other for quite a while before some perceptions, thoughts, and feelings began to flow. As time passed, I relaxed into my assigned task and soon there was enough material to fill six or seven typed pages.
Well, the proving book also turned out to be less formidable than I had imagined. Its format is actually quite user-friendly. First, all the symptoms are organized according to the schema of Kent's Repertory. This formats the information in a familiar way, making it easier to organize mentally.
In addition, the symptoms are printed tripled space, so the pages are not crowded. Although it might seem a needless waste of paper or an attempt to artificially stretch the information into a book, this technique actually makes a study of the material much less intimidating. Those large spaces between the symptoms allow the reader to feel more leisure, to contemplate a bit more before going on to the next bit of information. It seems to give the data a flow that is akin to a poem just as much as a scientific work ... One thousand homeopathic haiku.
The introduction that Jeremy provides is short, useful and interesting. It gives his reasoning for selecting the remedy along with insights into the methodology and some of the lessons learned from the project. It is followed by more detailed information on the scientific aspects of hydrogen itself. This may be a bit difficult for the scientifically undereducated (like myself), and its relevance to the work seems somewhat indirect.
Only time will tell whether or not Hydrogen is going to be a valuable addition to our materia medica. If prescribers make an effort to learn the remedy and begin to accumulate clinical experience, the remedy could potentially find a useful niche in our practices. Hydrogen certainly does have an interesting mental picture that seems to fit somewhere in the realm of Cannabis indica and Lac caninum. It may turn out to be the simillimum for a good number of those ethereal patients who tend to patronize our profession.
Turning to the recorded symptoms, let's see what we can actually learn about Hydrogen. The focus of its action is clearly on the mental level. There is a strong sense of an altered reality and altered perceptions. "Life doesn't fit." "I left myself behind." This perception is characterized by feeling spacey, lighter or airy. Intellectually, there is difficult concentration, mental confusion and forgetfulness. A peculiar symptom is the mistaking of left and right. There are mistakes in writing and the sense of time is distorted.
Emotionally, there is much depression along with lethargy. They can feel detached and indifferent with a desire to be alone. This can lead to irritability and anger. They often feel hurried, suffer from nervous anxiety and feel fear in the stomach. Confidence is lacking and there is a general sense of vulnerability. They can become suspicious, feeling betrayed or that "people don't like me."
On the other hand, a sense of the absurd is also strong. There is laughter at ordinary things, or at serious things. "Everything seems ridiculous." They may be restless and impatient or, quite to the contrary, possess a feeling of relaxed peacefulness. Other characteristic symptoms are feeling pregnant (emotionally), confusion over sexual identity, and sighing.
There are frequent headaches. The nose is often obstructed with either watery or a thick colored mucous discharge. Sneezing is common. Inside the nostril there may be tingling or peppery sensations. Flushes of heat in the face are also a strong symptom. The mouth and throat feel dry and the sense of taste may be perverted. There is also a sensation of pepper in the throat. Toothache was a commonly reported symptom.
Digestive symptoms are sparse. The appetite may be slightly increased or more frequently decreased. Food desires are minimal save a slight craving for spicy food and a thirst for cold things. There is nausea, especially from food. Constipation is a common symptom. But sometimes there is an urgent diarrhea.
Menses may be quite heavy and sudden. "They felt as if they poured out." There is pain or tenseness in the back, especially in the cervical region. The extremities may also be painful with aching, burning, shooting or pulsating sensations. Numbness and coldness are strong symptoms in the limbs. The legs feet weak. Another peculiar symptom is inflammation of the fingers. This takes the form of swellings, eruptions or poor healing of wounds.
The voice can be low. There is anxiety and tightness in the chest along with heart palpitations. Sleep is deep with lots of varied dreams. Sometimes there is waking at night or waking early. There may be perspiration during sleep, on waking, or with anxiety.
Generalities are: worse from wet weather, better from fresh air, better from warmth. There are sensations of heat, hot flushes, or chilliness. Also, a tendency to take cold is common. Weakness, fatigue or lethargy are strong characteristics of the remedy. There is trembling, pulsating pains and a predominance of right-sided complaints. Many local complaints are characterized by a "sensation of pepper" (in the nose, mouth, throat... ).

Well installing MacOS as native OS on a regular Laptop is not that easy, I've already tried to do so on 2 PC's and 1 laptop. It never worked. What works great for me is running it inside a Virtual Machine. Depending on what you want to do and how fast your system is it can be a bit slow. But it works for me and I develop private little iPhone Apps/Gadgets.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
"/etc" is used for configurations (.conf files etc). here you find all the configs and settings for your system.
"/usr" is used for "user programs". Usually your package manager installs all the binaries, shared files etc. from all programs here (except config files, which go to /etc). You can check /usr/bin for binaries, /usr/share for shared files (media, etc), /usr/share/doc for documentation,...
There is also an "/opt" folder, where there are "other" programs usually put (mostly binary programs, or programs installed from other sources (not the default package manager). Some programs like that (usually compiled) also go to "/usr/local"
"/var" is usually used for log files, 'temporary' files (like mail spool, printer spool, etc), databases, and all other data not tied to a specific user. Logs are usually in "/var/log", databases in "/var/lib" (mysql - "/var/lib/mysql"), etc.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley got his senior season started in the right way last weekend against Virginia Tech with seven tackles as the Crimson Tide limited Virginia Tech to 212 yards in a 35-10 victory at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Mosley is a candidate for the Bednarik Award, the Butkus Award, the Lott Trophy, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Lombardi Award and the Walter Camp Award. He was a consensus All-American in 2012 after registering 107 tackles and leading the nation's No. 1 defense.
Against Virginia Tech, Mosley's Tide defense allowed just 212 yards, including a mere 59 yards in the air. Tech got 77 of those yards (36 percent of the total yards allowed) on one busted play. In Mosley's 41 games at the Captsone, the Alabama defense has allowed an average of 10.5 points and 232.2 yards per game.

SEATTLE – The University of Washington Men's Basketball team will sport patches on their uniforms for the remainder of the 2013-14 season to recognize and honor former UW men's basketball coach Marv Harshman who passed away on April 12, 2013.
Harshman amassed a 246-146 record during his 14 seasons (1972-1985) at UW which ties for the second-most on UW's all-time coaching victories list. He held that spot on his own until his former player and current head coach Lorenzo Romar, tied his record on Thursday, Jan. 2 at Arizona State as he picked up his 246th win at UW.
At UW, Harshman advanced to three NCAA tournaments, two NITS and finished his career with back-to-back Pac-10 Championships in 1984 and 1985.
Harshman, who had a career record of 642-448 after stints at PLU, Washington State and UW, was inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Pac-10 Hall of Champions in 2003. He coached in 1,090 collegiate games which is the 14th-highest total in division I history.

Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
Much Ado About Nothing Act III, Scene iii Summary
- Dogberry, a constable with an awesome name, enters a street with Verges, a church officer, to inspect a couple of men who stand on watch over Messina. Dogberry goes on to have a self-important time of critiquing the watch (meaning the guards), and is totally full of pompous airs.
- Dogberry tries to pick one among the watch to be the constable, and two men who can read and write are suggested. Dogberry praises one of the guys, accidentally dismisses reading and writing as vanity, and puts that man in charge of the watch.
- Dogberry announces the watch should look out for vagrants. If they see any vagrants, the watch should make them stop in the name of the Prince.
- Dogberry goes on to give a series of nonsensical instructions to the watch: if a man doesn't stop, he should be let go to do as he pleases, because any man who doesn't stop isn't one of the Prince's subjects and therefore is not under the jurisdiction of the watch. Further, the watch should be grateful to be saved the trouble of dealing with vagrants.
- In fact, Dogberry essentially gives the men permission to sleep through their shift, but advises that they make sure they aren't robbed while they're dozing.
- More of Dogberry's ridiculous instructions include: drunken men should be reprimanded, unless they're too drunk, in which case they should be left alone to sober up.
- Thieves should be avoided, because getting involved with them would compromise one's honesty.
- The men on watch should wake up nurses (nannies) whose babies are crying. If the nurses do not wake up at the watch's calls, the babies' cries are sure to wake their nurses up eventually.
- Dogberry goes on in this vein, with Verges throwing in some supportive comments. Whenever they open their mouths, the two men generally reveal that Messina is very lucky to be a quiet town, because their watch is completely incompetent to handle any real crime or disturbance.
- The watch doesn't need to do much, except be careful that their swords don't get stolen.
- Before Dogberry leaves, he tells the men on watch to carefully observe Leonato's door. With the wedding coming tomorrow, there's likely to be a big to-do tonight. (If only he knew!) Lastly, he tells them to "Be vigitant!" (mistaking the word vigilant).
- Dogberry and Verges exit.
- The watch's plan to settle into a peaceful sleep is interrupted by the entrance of Borachio and Conrade, Don John's two partners-in-crime.
- Borachio and Conrade haven't noticed the watchmen, though the watch has noticed them. The incompetent men on watch listen carefully for signs of treason.
- Borachio updates Conrade on the night's events, sparing no little detail, and announcing that he's earned his 1.000 ducats from Don John.
- Conrade wonders how Borachio's villainous assistance could come with such a high price tag. Borachio points out that when a rich villain needs a poor villain's help, the poor villain can name any price.
- Borachio compares his robbery to the robbery that fashion commits—fashion has a habit of making men change their minds too often.
- Conrade chimes in that fashion is indeed a robber, as men will throw out their apparel because it's no longer in style even before the clothing has been worn out. Conrade notes that Borachio must be stricken by the fashion sickness too, as it's distracted him from the point of his story: how he brought about the ruination of Hero this very night.
- Borachio describes how his plan went off without a hitch: Margaret leaned out of Hero's window and bid him a thousand goodnights (we're not sure what they were up to before they said goodbye, but likely it involved Borachio being in Hero's bedroom).
- Anyway, Borachio replied to Margaret's goodnights, but he called her "Hero." Meanwhile, Don John was stationed with Don Pedro and Claudio in an orchard, close enough to hear what was going on, but not close enough to see that the woman was Margaret, not Hero.
- Borachio confirms that Don Pedro and Claudio were fully convinced of Hero's disloyalty, and didn't suspect that the scene was a villainous plot masterminded by Don John.
- Borachio makes the insightful point that the scheme had many layers, like an onion, or a layer cake. Claudio and Don Pedro were first inspired to distrust Hero by Don John's claim of her disloyalty. Because they were primed to think of her as disloyal, Borachio's villainy, combined with the dark night, cemented Claudio and Don Pedro's suspicions.
- Claudio became enraged after "witnessing" Hero's disloyalty, and he vowed to reveal Hero's love affair in front the whole congregation tomorrow at their would-be-wedding. He's determined to send her home without a husband (or her dignity!). There will be no marriage, but everyone will get their money's worth in the spectacle.
- The watchmen, who have been listening this whole time, finally step out and seize Borachio and Conrade, calling them out for lechery (when they really mean treachery). The disease of poor grammar and word usage is apparently contagious; the watch suffer from it nearly as badly as Dogberry.
- Borachio and Conrade surrender, but we've still got some unraveling to do before things get really good.

BERKLEY, Mich. — CRDN, an international organization of textile restoration experts serving the insurance industry, and Esporta Wash Systems Inc., inventors and manufacturers of a patented washing system and detergents, have come to an agreement to discontinue the use of Esporta's CCRN brand name.
The CCRN (Certified Contents Restoration Network) brand was created by Esporta to represent a certification standards council responsible for establishing and monitoring standards for soft contents restoration throughout their member network—those restoration contractors who have purchased and been certified in the Esporta Wash System for soft contents restoration.
The Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network, known by the acronym "CRDN," is the oldest and largest franchise network of textile restoration operators, having built the first network of its kind in 2001, and serves the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Due to the two entities' similar brand acronyms, CRDN and Esporta agreed that Esporta's use of CCRN would be changed to the "Esporta Certified Operators of North America™" beginning immediately.
CRDN CEO Wayne M. Wudyka and Esporta CEO Randall J. Rhode announced the agreement together.
"Mr. Rhode and I came to a very amicable and mutually agreeable decision, recognizing that two similar brand identities operating in the marketplace caused confusion that benefits neither entity," Wudyka says. "We further agreed that there are a lot of complements between our organizations, and we made a decision that collectively allows our members to come together to deliver complete textile restoration solutions without brand confusion, as we both have done and would do with any other contractor or organization in the industry."
"We firmly believe that it is in everybody's best interest to ensure there is no confusion between the CRDN and the Esporta Certified Operators of North America™," Rhode says. "I am very pleased with the discussions that have taken place between the CRDN and Esporta and the agreement we have reached. I hope this marks the beginning of greater ways we can work together for the mutual benefit of all our members and the industry as a whole.
"Mr. David MacLean, acting president of the former CCRN and now the Esporta Certified Operators, will continue to work closely with our membership to ensure the soft contents restoration services being brought to the insurance industry are of the highest level."

OMG! Are we ever going to break the tyranny of that Bible-thumping jingo-cretin Noah Webster? If he had been a total success, we wud all hav to bit our tungs whenevr we spok or speld.
Yes, Webster is the anti-intellectual monster who took the "e" out of "judgement," and left us with a wodge of consonants reminiscent of Lower Slobbovian. Let us embrace the Great Vowel Shift and say a resounding NO to Noah's Consonantal Constipation!
Seriously, these "superfluous" "e's" and "h's" are human artifacts, which allow linguists to trace and feel the origins of words, and of thoughts. Destroying such shards of the past is equivalent to building a shopping mall on an ancient burial ground.
My English teacher in grade school was British and she taught us that "judgment" was the preferred British spelling.
Agree – 'judgement' looks right, 'judgment' does not , also from a linguist's point of view. So it seems like a natural 'mistake' .
Less judgment is good though (maybe skipping the 'e' is a start ..)

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Sam Simmons visited the Durango Skate Park for the first time this year Thursday and found just enough dry pavement to hit the rails and halfpipe with his friend, Ben Kraushaar. Chances are it wont be dry for long: Rain and snow is likely through Monday in Durango, the National Weather Service says, though the temperatures will be balmy for this time of year with highs in the upper 30s or low 40s.

This should be fine but as soon as it opens up again it goes back to the "Try Ubuntu or Install" window. When I check my partition it says it's empty. I have no idea how to install it properly because, frankly, my computer knowledge is lacking a lot!

The James M. Cox Foundation announced a $5 million grant to develop the Atlanta BeltLine's Westside Trail. The Atlanta BeltLine is one of the nation's largest urban redevelopment programs that will provide a network of public parks, multi-use trails and transit along a 22-mile railroad corridor that encircles the City of Atlanta.
Upon completion, the BeltLine will connect 45 intown neighborhoods.
The Westside Trail, a three-mile path in the BeltLine's southwest corridor, will connect four schools and four parks. Hundreds of native trees will line the trail, which will create 40 acres of new greenspace to be used by area residents and visitors.
A TIGER grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will cover 42 percent of the project cost. The $5 million grant from the Cox Foundation will go toward a campaign currently underway to raise the additional funds needed to complete the project.
"Across the nation, cities are promoting healthy lifestyles through public access to parks and trails, while also stimulating economic development. The Atlanta BeltLine is one of the nation's best examples of what can happen when public and private sectors work together," said Cox Enterprises Chairman Jim Kennedy. "I served as co-chair of the BeltLine's original capital campaign and am thrilled to see this visionary project come to life. The BeltLine's completed segments are transforming neighborhoods and connecting people with nature. This grant will help the BeltLine build another important segment on its journey to completion."

Deer-Resistant Plants at Our Grass Valley Nursery
We've got some unusual deer-resistant plants in our Grass Valley nursery right now. Are any of these new to you? Our nursery specializes in deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and native plants. Nursery Manager, Linnie McNaughton, gives us her planting tips for this group:
Creeping bramble (Rubus calycinoides) is an industrial-strength ground cover that you can walk on. It's a slowish grower, works in sun to part-shade, and needs moderate water. Pair this evergreen mat with ginger in part-shade, or prostrate rosemary in full sun. It's especially lovely at the base of a smoke tree, where the reddish underside of the bramble leaf echoes the tree color. For USDA zones 6-10.
Sun rose (Helianthumum) is a perennial that takes a few years to settle in, but it's well worth the wait. Happy in full sun with low water, it will form a nicely-shaped, low mound about a foot tall. The variety 'Ben Nevis' is flat with orange flowers, unlike the taller sun roses.
Bishop's weed (Aegopodium podagraria) can be invasive (hence the common name) but if you garden in a challenging environment, it might be just the ticket. Preferring part-shade, it's pretty under dogwoods, mixed with Japanese anemones (which can also get out of control) and Lily of the valley. If you have a hospitable garden where plants race around, plant this one in a container—it looks especially good in a whitish pot or trough. USDA zones 3-9.
Have you seen this lovely Ornamental oregano 'Kent Beauty'? The pink and chartreuse bracts are as pretty as any flowers and it has the wonderful herbal fragrance too. Mmm! Plant it in full sun with low water, and let it drape over rocks or container edges. Perennial in USDA zones 6-11.
Liriope muscari has purple flowers in late summer through the fall. Whether you choose the solid or the variegated leaf varieties, it's a good, clumping companion with Blue plumbago, Japanese anemones, and Heuchera 'Plum Pudding' (which has purple leaves). USDA zones 6-9.
A classic for the shade garden, Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy' combines well with Creeping bramble, Lily of the valley, and Heuchera 'Plum Pudding'. If you don't need to worry about deer, plant it with hostas in the ground. Have deer but love hostas? Try hostas and this lamium in containers on your front steps where the deer may fear to tread. One reason it's so popular? Hardy in USDA zones 3-10. Another reason? We don't call it by its common name: Spotted dead nettle. Who'd want to grow that?
Find more deer-resistant plants in Carolyn Singer's fine book series, Deer in My Garden. Volume One covers Perennials & Subshrubs, and Volume Two focuses on Groundcovers & Edgers.
Comments (2)
The deer eat 3 of these in my garden. I don't know how a book for the national market can list only 50 plants for the entire US. And not to mention the regional aspects of this. I have a fortnight lily 40 feet from another. After 20 years the deer now eat them. But one by 80%, the other by 30% (or so). Explain that.
Deer will eat just about anything when they are hungry enough. And different deer in the same area will have different "palates" in what they are willing to try. I think that's why gardeners have stopped talking about "deer-proof" plants, since there is no such thing. Deer-resistant gives you much better odds.
I wonder if the deer feel safer close to your 80% eaten lily than the 30% eaten lily?
In my own Nevada County garden I have followed the suggestions in Carolyn Singer's "Deer in My Garden" books with 100% success. She is a Nevada County writer and one her interesting appendices is a list of plants that others put on deer-resistant lists but that have been munched in her garden.
One of my favorites, Bush clover (Lespedeza thunbergii), is big and fluffy, in spite of the doe and fawn currently sheltering in my shrubbery.
What are your best bets in Sonoma County for deer resistance?

I'm currently involved in a project for the University of Illinois Kinesiology Department in which I am teaching contra and English country dances to senior's.
In the spring of 2013 I taught an English Country Dance class called English Country Dancing in the Age of Jane Austen at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. This will compare and contrast the dances seen in the various movies with dances that might have actually been done by Jane Austen and the characters in her novels.
In the fall or 2013 I taught another class at the OLLI on social dances of the 19th century and how they changed throughout the period.
In the spring of 2014 I co-taught a class at the OLLI on the traditional dance revivals of the 20th century. These included English country dance, square dance and contra dance, along with several other traditional dance forms.
