Hi everyone,
Since I updated my WordPress to 3.6 I have been having trouble with my widget area. So, I added new calendar, when I tried to drag it into the sidebar I couldn't take it, it wasn't working at all.

So, I tried to take out one of the current online widgets and it seems to be repeating a column with dotted lines, it really odd.
It this happen to anyone? Please help me out.
Thank you!!

Photojournalist. Adventurer. Texan.
On a recent Wednesday, a group of five high school students gathered in the community room of the Soldotna Public Library to continue a fantasy campaign that has thus far taken them from northeast England toward Scotland — with several stops along the way to battle orcs, elves and the occasional group of city guards.
Their next adventure will play out Saturday when they host the inaugural community-wide Dungeons and Dragons marathon designed to attract more tabletop gamers to the library.
A Kenai man has been arrested after police accused him of sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl.
Joshua Brown, 20, was found by police in a car at the end of Spur View Drive in Kenai with the girl, according to court documents. The two were found just before 1 a.m. and while Brown didn't have a shirt on, he and the girl denied that any sexual activity had taken place.
Brown was allowed to leave the scene and the girl was taken home, according to the police report, however her father later said he wanted her to be interviewed by the Child Advocacy Center.
The Kenai Birding Festival is flocking into town and local birders have been gearing up for another year of showing off the more than 200 unique species of birds in the area.
The largely fee-free festival follows the popular southern Kenai Peninsula Kachemak Bay shorebird festival and the annual Copper River Delta shorebird festival in Cordova which bring out several hundred birders each year. Organizers of the Kenai birdfest said it was designed to draw a smaller crowd and cater to birders with all levels of ability.
Editor's Note: The story has been edited to clarify Peggy Dye's statements requesting that the borough assembly fund a feasibility study for residents of Kalifornsky Beach Road who have been affected by flooding.
It was all about money during a four-hour meeting at which Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly members heard about funding schools, flooding and animal control.
A Moosetaur terrorizes the fictional Alaskan town of Gangrene Gulch in a new feature-length film by Alaskan brothers Darin and Chad Carpenter.
"Moose: The Movie" is an independent flick, filmed in Alaska and starring primarily Alaskan actors and the campy comedy film will make its Kenai Peninsula debut at the Triumvirate Theatre on Saturday at 7 p.m.
Brittany Weston was stuck in root canal limbo.
Some time after getting the decayed portion of an ailing tooth scraped out and getting it filled, the dense world of Medicaid and uncompensated care caught up with her at Peninsula Community Health Services.
It isn't time to call the season yet, but with April rapidly drawing to a close Kenai Peninsula birders may have to settle for below-average numbers of migratory birds using the Kenai and Kasilof river flats.
While there are still opportunities to see and hear birds in the area, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge biologists and area birders said the weather seems to be the culprit when it comes to the lack in numbers of ducks, geese, cranes and other fowl that use the marshy Kenai and Kasilof river flats as staging areas for their next hops north.
How much noise is it going to make? How will Nikiski handle the influx of people and resulting crime if the Alaska LNG project goes forward? Will the project hire local companies to do some of the construction work on the mega-project? When will the community know if the project will go forward and Nikiski will get a pipeline?
Soldotna has more than $20 million that it wants to invest.
During a Wednesday city council meeting, members voted unanimously to adopt an investment strategy that is less conservative than the one the city currently uses.
"The city has had about $20 million sitting around making about two-tenths of a percent of interest over the year, because it has been set in a very, very secure situation — which is basically doing nothing — and we think that it's inappropriate for the city to not be generating more revenue from that," said Mayor Nels Anderson.
The Alaska LNG Project will host an open house in Nikiski on Thursday as the project moves into the 2015 field work season.
The community meeting is one of more than 100 project organizers plan to hold in 2015, said Alaska LNG Socioeconomic Team Lead Michael Nelson during a Wednesday presentation to the Soldotna City Council.
The focus of the meeting will be on the summer fieldwork that the project plans to conduct.
Nelson said the group would also be hosting the first of several business information sessions including one in Kenai on April 29.

The Germans Are Coming! To Take Over the New York Stock Exchange
Nice knowing you, Wall Street.
So much for all the hand-wringing that the end of American exceptionalism would be spelled M-a-d-e i-n C-h-i-n-a. After 219 years as the "citadel of American capitalism," The Wall Street Journal says the New York Stock Exchange is close to being acquired by Deutsche Börse AG, a German company that operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. If regulators approve the takeover, it would become the world's largest financial exchange — trading more stocks and futures than any other global rival, and more options than any U.S. exchange at a time when smaller, electronic upstarts have been quicker to go after emerging, lucrative kinds of trading. The new exchange would have a presence in fourteen European countries as well as the U.S. "A merger would potentially let customers trade stocks in New York, options tied to those shares in Paris and derivatives linked to them in Frankfurt," says the New York Times. So why is this bad for Wall Street rather than just another sign, like China owning U.S. debt, of the interconnectedness of global markets?
The Journal explains:
For New York, the move is symbolic of the city's fading dominance on the world stage as other countries are drawing investors directly to their markets. The move also is a recognition that securities trading today goes on at all hours and in all time zones, making the actual bricks and mortar of Wall Street far less important than before.
"New York is going to be important, but it's not the financial center. Capital markets are everywhere now," said Michael LaBranche, CEO of LaBranche & Co, the family-run firm that traded on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for 87 years before it sold that part of its business to Britain's Barclays Capital in 2010.
Although this marks the NYSE's second European deal in five years (in 2006 NYSE beat out Deutsche Börse to buy Paris-based Euronext), one former trader likened it to the end of an era:
The NYSE "is not the same iconic place that it was in its heyday," said William Higgins, a 74-year-old retired NYSE trader, who still owns about 70,000 shares of the company. He recalls when the NYSE was a private club and traders gained entry by buying a "seat" that entitled them to do business there. "It doesn't mean life won't go on, but to those of us who have been called New Yorkers, to not have that air of sophistication, the sense that 'this is where things get done,' it's sad."
Did anyone else just get "The Way We Were" stuck in their head?

Where is your WordPress installed? You should get the DNS of your webhost so that you can input said DNS to your domain name account at register.com.
Is this a self-hosted blog or a wordpress.com blog?
I set up the WordPress separately. I definitely can get into the DNS info for my website, to which I'd love to have both my site and WP be the same. (WP being the page of course).
My host and domain came from register.com
Which aspects of the DNS would I need to change?
Since you've got both your domain name and webhosting from register.com, then it would be better to consult with them. Generally, you go to your webhosting account and open it up and look up the DNS, then you go to your domain name name account and input the DNS there. If you do not know the process, for sure with both domain name and webhost accouts with them, register.com tech can assist much more easily.
You shouldn't need to change any DNS setting. Just use an .htaccess redirect. Or have a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory. I think it covers your situation.
Esmi, the link isn't showing any content, just the title....is that the correct link? I'm looking foward to seeing it. :)

INAO - Institut National des Appellations d'Origine
Beverage industry company news
It was hardly a huge surprise when the Comité Interprofessionnel des Vins de Champagne reported a decline in Champagne sales for 2008 last week. And the announcement coincides with publication of a new just-drinks/IWSC report on the Champagne market which forecasts more tough times to come. Ben Cooper reports.
The news that Yves Bénard is the front-runner for the top job at the INAO is good news for reformers in the French wine industry.
Latest News
Here's a look at what was happening on this day in...
Yves Bénard is to become the first Frenchman to lead the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) for more than 40 years.
French spirits body Fédération Française des Spiritueux has named Jean-Pierre Lacarrière as its new president.
French wine body the Conseil des Vins de Saint-Emilion (CVSE) is lobbying the Ministry of Agriculture to appeal to France's Council of State over a recent court decision confirming the scrapping of the 2006 St Emilion classification.
To a backdrop of growing global demand, the national committee of French AOC validating body, the INAO, has unanimously approved a project to enlarge the production zone of Champagne which until now has been restricted by legislation dating back to 1927.
The top ten most visited stories on just-drinks this week:
The French wine industry's AOC classification system has come under fire from the consumer rights association UFC-Que Choisir.
Champagne has a problem very few wine regions currently face. It does not make enough wine to meet demand. Many believe the only way forward is to expand the vineyard area but, writes Chris Losh, expansion would be a political minefield and not all agree that it is the best course of action in any case.
A group of 80 French winemakers yesterday (30 May) occupied the Paris headquarters of French regulatory body INAO (Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité) in protest against its reform of wine quality control systems.
With the latest announcement of the new director of INAO (Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité) as Marion Zalay, all key posts are now filled.
Faced with growing demand and limited supply, Champagne growers are mulling extending the existing production hectarage by just under 10%.
Yves Bénard, general director of the wine and champagne division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has today (12 February) been appointed to lead the INAO (Institut National de l'Origine et de la qualité).
A new-style Armagnac will be on offer to consumers in France this year.
The general director of the wine and Champagne division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton looks to be the front runner to take charge of the Institut National de l'Origine et de la qualité.
Bordeaux winemakers have unanimously rejected French government proposals to split the existing AOC category in two.
French appellations body, the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO), has raised the limit on Champagne production yields.
The French regulatory body for AOC wines, the INAO (Institut National des Appellations d'Origine), is being reorganised to focus on quality control.
Bordeaux wine professionals fear that proposed EU reforms of the wine industry could be hijacked by a French government keen on micro-managing wine production. "The government is showing reluctance towards the reforms, whereas we are in full favour," said Allan Sichel, president of the Bordeaux négociants federation.
The French wine appellations body, the INAO, has approved the transformation of the Languedoc AOC with its production area enlarged to include all of the AOC appellations in Languedoc Roussillon.
The use of wood chips in French AOC winemaking has been banned despite recent support for their use by the French government.
The French wine appellations body, the INAO, has approved four new appellations.
The French wine regulator, INAO, has today (7 September) announced the new classifications for Saint Emilion wines.

I would like to implement a telnet server in C. How would I proceed with this? Which RFCs should I look at? This is important to me, and I would appreciate any help.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
For very basic telnet (just telnet to a port and echo bytes), there's not much to do. Read from a socket, process it (in an echo server, do nothing), spit back a result. You could implement a simple MUD-style server without knowing anything in any RFCs.
But if you're really concerned about RFCs, RFC 854 might be a starting point.
If you are serious about network programming I would highly recommend Richard W. Stevens' "UNIX Network Programming Vol 1" - it's much better reading than RFCs with great examples.
It is very expensive book but there are cheap paperback edition available on eBay. Even if you get expensive hard-cover edition it worth every penny you paid.
Note that real telnet is not just a simple interface that handles the
There's lots of additional functionality that is carried separately in 'options', which handle such things as setting the
If you are looking to do real telnet, and not just a simple TCP server, then indeed RFC 854 is your starting point. However there's stacks more relevant RFCs which describe those options mentioned above which are listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet
If you need help with socket programming etc.
checkout beej's guide: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/
Knowing how the socket API works internally is very useful, because it is often exported with very minor changes by higher level languages.
That said, you might want to use the event loop support provided by GLib and use the related networking library GNet.
Here's how to use GNet to open a socket on port 4000, then close every connection made to it. There is a little bit of magic here as the server registers itself with the default main context as part of its creation.
I recommend installing Wireshark to watch the Telnet traffic using an existing Telnet server. Then looking at the log, you can gain a better understanding of how the server communicates with the client. Then, use the RFC as a reference if you don't understand any of the commands going across the wire.

Blackbird Design Study Borrows From SR-71 But Evokes Tron
From the mind of Hungarian designer Peter Vardai comes this Mercedes design study named the Blackbird. Vardai's inspiration for the concept was the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, a machine that evokes images of purpose and speed. Looking at the shots of the design study, these are the same impressions that one gets. An image of a vehicle with purpose, and, to some, it may appear to be a bit menacing. That the design study's color and lighting effects reminds us of the recent Tron movie was probably done on purpose. The message that the design study seems to impart is that Mercedes is a company that embraces the future and… Continue Reading »

Improvise With Smoothies continued...
Cocoa is actually quite healthy in other ways, studies show. Like dark chocolate, cocoa contains lots of epicatechin, a particularly active type of flavonoid -- which keeps cholesterol from gathering in blood vessels, reduces the risk of blood clots, and slows down the immune responses that lead to clogged arteries.
As for fruit choices, "they are limitless, and it's creative to experiment," Magee says. "At the market, I never know what's going to look good. I stay open to what is available. Plus, I always have frozen berries on hand. I don't really like bananas, but I like them in a smoothie. A banana adds sweetness and thickening to a smoothie."
Magee won't use protein powders. "When you add powders, it can change the texture quite a bit. I'm more inclined to add true food. I add soft tofu or soy milk instead of soy powder." Regular low-fat milk or egg substitute(not raw eggs) also add protein.
Soy nut butter tastes somewhat like regular peanut butter and is a good source of protein, she says. "A child won't likely notice the difference -- if you blend half soy butter and half regular peanut butter. It's pretty thick but if you have a good blender, you should do fine."
Other Additives
"One of my favorite foods is ground flaxseed," Magee tells WebMD. "You can buy ground flaxseed and keep it in the freezer. One tablespoon a day is considered safe and effective. In a tall smoothie glass, that's the amount you would add. Flaxseed contains lots of phytoestrogens; it's a top plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, and is one-half soluble fiber."
Wheat germ contains vitamin E and B, and can be easily slipped into a smoothie, she says. However she draws the line there with the additives. "Personally I wouldn't play around with bee pollen. You don't want to take B vitamins by themselves. I like to use the whole food."
Finally, you don't want to go overboard with ingredients. Keep it simple; that's the key to summer drinks.

Stacey didn't always know what her calling in life was going to be, but one common vision remained the same. The sounds of music and the personal vulnerability that came along with it, followed her every step down life's walk.
Like most, Stacey grew up warming her vocal chords during her Sunday morning church services before an afternoon filled with her dad's "walk down memory lane" records of The Beatles, The Turtles, The Beach Boys, and Elvis Presley.
After studying music at Milikin University, the pieces began to fall in place and Stacey's musical career took her on travels to Italy, China, and throughout the USA, only to find herself settling down in Music City with only one goal in mind: To share with the world, through the most intimate way imaginable, her story.
Step by step, a new chapter of her life began to unfold. Beginning with the most basic of chords, a pen, and a paper – the blueprints for 'Steady Rhythm,' the debut album from Stacey Randol, were officially underway. In the summer of 2011, Stacey ventured into the studio with producer, Tyler Cain, to create the vibrant album. Indie Music Reviewer writes, "Every song on the album is memorable and catchy. After one listen you will be left feeling enchanted and re-energized. Her vocals are warm and inviting, gentle yet hearty. Steady Rhythm is an eleven- song remedy guaranteed to bring some sunshine in your life."
Stacey recently released her latest single, "Fragile Forest." She began writing this song at one of her favorite Nashville spots–Radnor Lake. Awaiting The Flood writes, "Leaving the beach behind, this serious tune still features her inimitable writing, as well as strong folk roots, like Joan Baez with a spoonful of honey. She sings, Whisper your secret of trusting spring to come, personifying nature almost as a lover, giving life and breath to the world we're killing. It's beautiful poetry, sung with beautiful voice, cementing her spot among female songwriters, even if you haven't heard of her yet."
American Songwriter writes, "Stacey Randol is a pop artist that sprinkles in some folk for good measure. Her influences span the past and present, a list including Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Nilsson, Vampire Weekend, Angus & Julia Stone, Beach House, and Brandi Carlile. All great American songwriters, we see "Fragile Forest" channeling Carlile in the best of ways, both lyrically and musically."

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Debt-to-EBITDA is a ratio that compares what a company owes in debts to the EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).
This number is used by bankers and investors to see how leveraged a company is. The higher the number, the more likely it is that a company will struggle to pay up its debt. Debt of more than 3 or 4 times cash flow is considered very high on most planets.

Top Twelve Experiences with OAT
I've been very fortunate in retirement to have visited many interesting sights of special interest to me. All travel represented in this short album were organized and led by the OAT.GCT and GCCL brands of Grand Circle Corporation, Boston, MA. There are many other places of great interest to me where I've visited and resided but have not included in this short selective album. Each image in this album is representative of many more that appear in other albums dedicated to a geographic area of the World.

Costa Rica 2016
I enjoyed Oversea Adventure Travel's Costa Rica: National Parks and Tropical Forests, including the Drake Bay Pre-trip extension in February of 2016. There were seven couples from around the country, plus my solo self. We were led by Hector Calvo, a Trip Leader of exceptionally superior abilities and temperament. He was assisted by Victor (aka Chicho) our driver, who was expert at his assignment and fluent in English as well. We visited in Costa Rica's "dry season", which means that it doesn't rain as much as it does at other times. Foliage was very, very thick in every instance, creating a challenge for those interested in wildlife photography. I was at a disadvantage without a tripod, given the dim light and long zoom lens requirement. IN any event, this trip is an excellent introduction to Costa Rica, its history, people, topography and environmental approach to the conservation of its resources.

Japan 2015
During October 2015 fifteen new friends and I visited Tokyo, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Nara, Japan. We traveled by foot, subway, bus and train. The trip was organized by Overseas Adventure Travel of Boston and Cambridge. These images were created with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 and a waterproof Lumix TS5.. The images were edited using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, then uploaded to this site in reduced resolution.
My family and i had lived in Tokyo years ago, and this trip was a long awaited revisit. Some images taken years ago have been digitally scanned and interspersed herein for contrast with the present.

Maui February 2015
My wife Nancy and I rented a two-bedroom cottage in Upcountry Makawao, East Maui for two weeks from long time friends of ours. California friends Doug and Bea Abe, and our eldest son Jeff joined us. We find East and Upcountry Maui to be relaxing and charming, given our local friends, the people we meet there and a wide variety of gorgeous scenery, along with the company of horses, goats, chickens and occasional gecko.

The images in this album record a 14-day introduction to Iceland organized and led by Overseas Adventure Travel (Boston, MA) for 15 fellow travelers. All were experienced World travelers. Our Trip Leader, Anna Lilja Torfadottir is a teacher and very well traveled in Europe and the USA. Midday temperatures averaged 60 degrees F, wind was significant from time to time, rain or drizzle fell on six of 14 days.

Nepal Oct 2013
In October of 2013 I spent 16 days in Nepal with nine other Americans during which time we visited World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, trekked in the Annapurna Sanctuary, did white-water rafting on the Seti River, and hunted on elephant-back for one-horned Asian Rhinoceroses in Chitwan National Park. this album is a photographic journal of our adventure. Subsequently seven of us continued together to spend eight days in Tibet. That adventure is recorded in a separate album on this web site.

Ultimate Africa Safari 2012
Images in this folder depict a photo safari that I enjoyed October 20-November 6, 2012. The safari was organized by Overseas Adventure Travel (oattravel.com) and operated by Wilderness Adventures of Maun, Botswana. I had taken this trip in September 2008 and enjoyed it enough to repeat it four years later. We were thirteen new adventure travel friends, five couples and three singles. Our ages covered the spectrum: 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and a 92-year-old ! We had a fine time together with our magnificent Leader, Mandla Nyanthi and eight driver/guides.

VAdm J. S. Donnell, III Interment at Arlington
The United States Navy, family and dear friends gathered at Arlington National Memorial Cemetery on August 23rd, 2012 to honor the life and service of Vice Admiral Joseph Stover Donnell, III. I was one of five Winchester High School classmates and life-long friends invited to observe this impressive ceremony. Joe, or Stover as he was known when in high school, succumbed to cancer early in the springtime, and his remains were interred at Arlington today. He is survived by his wife Judy, their son Brian and other family members. Images in this folder were taken with a tiny point-and-shoot digital camera, so their quality is far less than I would wish for an event so special.

Washington, DC
This album is published for Memorial Day 2012. Two weeks ago we spent 3 dqys in Washington visiting friends and as many important National sites as possible given our short visit. We'd not been in Washington for 20 years or so, and noticed how greatly the Washington metropolitan area had expanded. It's now huge, very spread out, but still without any tall commercial buildings. In three days we could take in only a small fraction of the important sights that the Capital has to offer. Most impressive for us was the Korean War Memorial, images of which follow. Our long-time friend Roger Shoch made it possible for us to see and photograph these magnificent sights in just a few days. He chauffeured us around, dropped us off and picked us up with expertise. Thank you Roger!

Paris 2011
I had planned to stop in Paris for a few days while on my way to Morocco. When told of this our son, Jeff, who lives in Los Angeles, said: 'I'll join you there, let me arrange for an apartment on l'Ile St. Louis where I've stayed before. It's a great location". He did that and we had a very good time together in the city where we had visited many times before. Unfortunately, the weather was inclement and the tourist crowds were still a burden for those of us wishing to enter popular spots such as the Musee d'Orsay.

Heart of India 2010
During November 2010 fourteen new friends and I visited Calcutta, Delhi, Jaipur, Pushkar, Ranthambhore National Park, Ramsinghpura village, Agra, Jhansi, Khajuraho, and Varanasi. We traveled by air, train, bus, camel cart, rickshaw and foot under the expert guidance of Sushil Hidaya. The trip was organized by Overseas Adventure Travel of Boston and Cambridge. These images were created with a Panasonic Lumix FZ35, a 12 megapixel, 12x zoom, APS-C sensor, bridge camera in jpeg format. The images were edited using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, then uploaded to this site in reduced resolution.

Mount Everest
After having spent a week exploring central and wester Bhutan, I caught a Druk Air flight from Paro, Bhutan to New Delhi, India. For reasons never understood, a Bhutanese gentleman gave me his right-side, window seat in First Class in exchange for my Coach seat on the left side rear of the plane. This afforded me the chance to see and photograph the Himalayas and Mt. Everest as we flew across Nepal at 30,000 feet en route to India.

Wilderness and Beyond, Argentine & Chilean Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego
Arrangements for this trip were made with Overseas Adventure Travel (http://www.oattravel.com).
In early November of 2009 I flew to Buenos Aires for a few days, then moved southwest more than 1,300 miles to El Calafate, a small town in Argentine Patagonia. From there my journey followed the path shown in this map, borrowed from OAT's catalog. Photos in this file are of Buenos Aires, El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier and Ushuaia. This file then continues with images from Chile's Torres del Paine NP, a sheep ranch south of Puerto Natales, then a cruise with zodiac landings and hikes in Tierra del Fuego, on Cape Horn and Wulaia Island. At the end of the cruise, we landed in Ushuaia, Argentina where we spent a few days exploring before our return to Buenos Aires and the USA.

Ultimate African Safari Sept. 2008
In September 2008 I joined a dozen other Americans in a land/air photo safari that included Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe, including Victoria Falls. Arrangements for this trip were made with Overseas Adventure Travel of Cambridge, MA (http://www.oattravel.com). It was a superb experience. Photo images in this folder were taken with a Panasonic Lumix TZ5, a tiny point and shoot with a 10x zoom. Focal lengths shown for images are for the APS-C sensor. The TZ5 equivalents in full format correspond to 28 mm through 280 mm. However, by reducing the pixels recorded from 10 MB to 5 MB, one may achieve 18 x. Alternatively, one may record maximum pixels, then crop in post processing to achieve a similar zoom effect. For some reason this info doesn't appear with the exif data shown with each image in the folder.

South Africa 2005
Three weeks in August 2005 spent in South Africa's Western Cape Province, two weeks of which were spent on Robben Island supporting a Univ. of Cape Town study of resident penguins, and one week spent exploring by auto the city and countryside within 150 miles of Cape Town. I also was in Johannesburg in 2008.

Serengeti Safari 1999
In February 1999 my wife and I enjoyed our first "tented" safari, one organized by Overseas Adventure Travel of Cambridge, MA. With 11 colleagues we visited Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara and Serengeti National Parks, as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. All photos were created with film cameras in 1999, then much later scanned to create digital images which have been compressed here to comply with storage limitations. OAT has since upgraded its Serengeti tents to include "ensuite" shower/toilet equipment.

Grand Canyon Hike 1996
In November-December of 1996 I joined four friends from Southern California for an exhilarating two-day hike from the South Rim of Grand Canyon to Phantom Ranch and the Colorado River below, then back up to the South Rim the next morning. It had snowed significantly in the Park the night before, so we descended in fallen snow for the first thousand feet. The snow heightened the color contrast with rock formations at the upper levels and in the distance. We slept in the Phantom Ranch male and female bunkhouses overnight. Reservations to do so normally must be made many months in advance. Images in this album are recent digital shots taken of the film prints produced from my Pentax SLR at the time of the hike.

I'll share some of the scenes that have made my walks in the neighborhood uplifting, interesting and/or amusing every time that I've visited.

Benbecula gets deserved victory
Benbecula and Niall McCullagh
(Healy Racing Photos)
Tommy Carmody's charge had been a short price here last month only for his saddle to slip before halfway. He did well in the circumstances to finish second.
There was no drama tonight as Niall McCullagh tracked leader Tortueuse before taking over with two furlongs to run.
The 5/2 shot (from 2/1) kept on well for pressure inside the final furlong to post a three-parts-of-a-length success.
33/1 shot Lions Charge finished best of all to grab the runner-up spot from 2/1 favourite Kharezi.
The winning trainer made a hasty exit from the winners' enclosure after greeting the Motivator gelding.
Doyle claims first Dundalk win
Doonard Prince prevailed in a tight finish to the second division of the seven-furlong handicap at Dundalk.

Skip to comments.AVG Ver. 8 Corrupt Bin File
Posted on 08/16/2008 11:12:03 PM PDT by brityank
UPDATE .BIN error information... Aug 16th 2008Posted by: rdsok - Moderator (IP Logged)
Date: August 17, 2008 12:07AM
Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update.
Reporting the issue again by other users here will not do any good until it is resolved.
The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In otherwords, not being able to get this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.
So in short... please do not post to report the issue, its already known. Also please be patient until AVG Technologies can address the issue.
Also... for those user that did report the issue... thanks for the info.
Use Avira at Free-AV.com instead.
It ranks better in tests and is still free.
Yep. I found it, too.
It just delays the update of virus definitions. Doesn't affect the operation of the program.
Looks like AVG caught Norton-itus. It used to be a pretty good trial-ware alternative to NAV, but they have bloated it up pretty bad.
AVG has been excellent in the past. Now they've added anti-spy and a IE search tool bar. Insane. One of my clients "upgraded" from 7 to 8 and then had to call me because his computer was working extremely slowly... would you believe twenty seconds between clicking on start and having it finally pop up??? It turned out that AVG was forever downloading, ever and ever... without end. Getting rid of the tool bar helped some... but getting rid of AVG solved the problem. Damnit, I liked AVG.
I would disagree completely. While rolling the AVG AntiSpyware (Ewido) engine and AntiRootKit engine into the AntiVirus product did make it heavier (no doubt), the resulting increased real-time and on-demand protection is substantial.
This from an avowed Ewido fan who is more than a little peeved that AVG/AS and all of the Ewido tools will soon be gone :(
What else should I do?
My wife's computer got the same looking message two days ago and then the hard drive crashed.
You just described my computer's performance as of late and now I know why. What anti-virus program do you recommend now?
I still like it, I disabled one section "link scanner" and it works more smoothly now... Not like I go anywhere other than FR and my Christian guild's web site anyhoo...
Being that I am primarily a Mac user, I should issue the obligatory "Get a Mac!" commentbut I shall refrain. So ignore it, I didn't say it. ;^)>
However, I really suggest Avast now to my Windows using clients. You can also, for now, stay with AVG 7. I am going to try Avira on a couple of my clients to see if it might be better. Most of my clients are businesses so they use the upgraded paid versions.
ps: Mine was something called a VBS/Agent
Thanks. I will look into it. Can I rollback to AVG 7?
I have a problem.
I recently updated my browser Firefox 3.0.1 and after doing so noticed that many of the links on webpages have a red highlight box on them that I find disturbing.
Can anyone help please?
Don't let it (or anything, of course) install the tool bar, and don't let it send information to AVG... both are setup options which slow INET transactions considerably...
I find it heavier than AVG 7 but still bearable for the trade off in detections. It is seriously better at trojans now that AVGAS is rolled in. I still would not stack it up against my house brand, which is F-Protect, or against Kaspersky or Nod32, but I think it a great improvement for those who don't have the money to purchase one of the above.
Although I don't use Firefox3, a quick googling found that your Red Outline may be an indication of a link that goes to a vacant address... a now defunct link. Why not click on one and see what happens (if you can do it safely).
I don't know of any such thing specific to Firefox 3, though maybe some add-on or plug-in you may have inadvertently loaded somehow...
I use Yahoo as a search engine, and they provide a service where known bad sites show up as red links throughout their search results... there is a fairly obvious explanation thereof at the top of the results page if bad links are included, however. I wonder if it is something like that, or something similar provided by your anti-virus software?
It is not to vacant address it is to working links.
AVG no longer provides updates for AVG 7. If you have a paid version of 7.5 you still get updates.
I have learned from my consulting work that 7.5 is no longer adequate for people inclined to browse unsafe sites and click OK on dubious offers. I've had to restore two machines for office workers who strayed from business.
It really takes a tough and up-to-date AV system to protect people who authorize downloads at certain kinds of sites.
Spyware Blaster can block thousands of sites and ad servers simply by putting them in the restricted zone. Spyware Blaster doesn't have a program running in the background.
Spyware Guard also by javacoolsoftware is the realtime component of Spyware Blaster.
Also, AVG 7.5free is still being updated till the end of the year.
Based on personal experience, I don't recommend staying with 7.5. Particularly if you browse family unfriendly sites.
Also, if you read the list of sites blocked by Spyware Blaster, half of them promise Anti-virus or anti-spyware programs. The lesson there is to read reviews and choose products wisely. Legitimate anti-virus vendors do not use popups and spam.
The guys whose computers I restored got a popup message in an email telling them a virus had been detected. They clicked OK to clean it and the result was total destruction of Windows.
I am TOTALLY computer illiterate. A while back I switched from AVG Free to Avast because of some threads I had read here on FR. Somehow, someway, somewhere, almost immediately, I lost Java Flash. I've tried to re-install it to no avail. I removed ALL my Adobe and then re-installed them. Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat went fine...still can't install Flash. At present I have Avast Antivirus and Norton PC Check-up. Could these be stopping me from getting Flash?
They're on Avast now.
I don't believe that SG has been updated for a number of years now, though it's still available for download, and I'm a current user of Spyware Blaster.
So what are you saying... just use Spyware Guard? Couldn't quite follow your point.
Am getter ready to install Spyware Blaster on my new PC. Was using it on my old one before the chip fried. Was going to install AVG again but guess I will go with AVAST now. Just want to get rid of the PC-cillan that came with this thing.
This fix is from yahoo answers (posted by intc_escapee).
If you can't wait for grisoft to fix it this works.
1) go to »www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update
2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG
3) download AVI: 270.6.4
4) download IAVI: / 1616
5) move the dowloaded files to the directory you made called AVG
6) launch AVG
7) select tools -> update from directory
8) select the directory called AVG where you put the downloads
AVG fixed the problem hours ago. It never really interfered with the operation of the program anyway.
tech bump - need coffee 1st! ;-)
The IE search bar is an install option. It can be de-selected. The slowness means the AV is running a scan. If the scanning is backed off to once a week interval it will not be noticable as much. The processor usage can also be reduced in the Scan Speed setting. Slow = low CPU usage.
Just a one-time ping to all who responded; THANK YOU ! :^)
As js1138 noted in his #29, I just reran the Update and it did it successfully.
Thanks also for the info on why AVG has become so 'bloated', seems to be a common problem with most Windows products, by design I'm sure. And thanks for the pointers to other programs, FReepers truly are a well of knowledge.
From my experiences, any software program, whether downloaded from an internet site or pulled off a cd/dvd, can cause trouble for a Windows based operating system. Its a hit and miss process, especially with free software. Haven't worked with Vista yet, but I doubt its any different. Before MS came out with OneCare, I used primarily CA anti-virus and Avast anti-virus free -— along with Spyblaster and Spybot S&D -— and found it to work best. Used it on an old Win98SE opsys and it worked well. Avira anti-virus free version was also a good choice. Always had problems with AVG free. If you're running XP you can get Windows Defender for nothing. If you have Qwest DSL they offer OneCare Security package free. Some people choose expensive and bloated security packages like Nortons and McAfee. Never went there. You can Google many problems you're having with your operating system and solve issues as they arise. With computers, patience is a virtue.
One Care is better than nothing, but AVG and Avast are at the top of low cost scanners.
AVG 7.5 had a genuine problem with malicious websites. Some sites pop up a message that looks exactly like a message from the virus scanner, asking if you want to send a file to the virus vault.
When you click OK, you have authorized installing a Trojan horse.
Unfortunately there is no way to protect people who have administrator rights and are inclined to click OK every time they are asked. Except to block access to malicious websites, and there's a cost involved in that approach.
OneCare is solid as a rock. I've never had any problems with it. People who object to OneCare are usually people who object to Microsoft.
Thanks for the reply. I'm using XP and should have said so. Also, I needed the motherboard replaced a while back, long before this problem arose. E vidently the fan wasn't working properly and cooked the processor and MB. I now have an ASUS motherboard, K8V-VM series is on the disc. I understand that registration(?) is one of the things that cause the problem I have. Do you think this (not having the original MB or processor) will effect going the Google route? Thanks again.
Any anti-virus program is effective if you avoid malicious websites and don't authorize the installation of malicious programs. In actual side by side tests, however, One-Care detects fewer threats than some other programs.
Unless you've seen a computer taken over by spyware or Trojans, and unless you know what the user was doing at the time, you really don't have a feel for what kind of protection is needed.
The current crop of malware masquerades as anti-virus software. The virus installation program pops up looking like a message from your virus scanner. The instinctive reaction is to authorize it to clean your machine.
I've read all the data supplied by the so-called, impartial third party test organs. While its true OneCare isn't given a good rating, its worked for me, several business associates and its worked for several friends that have hooked it up to their home systems. Btw, my internet surfing is pretty extensive from time to time. Been working with computer operations for 35 years, at IBM/ROLM, Kaman Sciences, Litton Data Systems, Aircraft Mechanics and have had a home PC and internet access since the mid-1990`s. No expert, for sure. But I've found MS products to be highly functional and OneCare is a solid choice.
I've been in the PC business since 1984. I've only seen two virus taht weren't the result of users authorizing installation of software that they shouldn't be using. Spyware was rampant on the free music sites. the two recent cases involved porn.
If you don't surf trash sites you don't need a great virus scanner.
Let me ask a simple question. Has One Care actually detected anything for you? I ask this because most of the people I know would respond that their virus/spyware programs have never seen any malware.
Agreed. But you don't want to have your security system detect a virus after its been installed on your pc and allowed to run wild. Same for spyware and other infections. You want it stopped at point of identification. OneCare has done a great job in that regard. Especially on viruses. I've been to some nasty websites on occasion. Often to test out a new anti-virus or anti-spyware software. There has been a significant level of criticism thrown at OneCare. Since I started using OneCare in beta form back in the fall of 2006, it has been solid, detecting several dozen pieces of infectious crap.
In this day and age, that should have been a no-brainer.
It slows my computer on start-up; it's not running a scan.
I have seen three systems this month with AntispywareXP-2008 and one with Virtualmonde.
I can't possibly charge enough per hour to make cleaning these viruses off a system worth it for me. Takes several hours, and at some point you just cap the fees.
Please ping back with info on how you have found Avast and Avira to work. I will start carrying both.
Bummer, I really, really liked AVG ...
I just went and checked my AVGv8, and it has the Email Scanner active. I don't have it stripping any attachments, as I get quite a few, but it does check them as I did have one quarantined a couple of weeks ago.
Swordmaker -- where did you hear it went inactive?
The only way to protect ordinary users from malware is to block the sites that provide the downloads. AVG8 does this. Spyware Blaster does this and also blocks ad servers.
These days the focus of malware is to trick you into authorizing the download and installation. The latest one to cause trouble disguises itself as a message from your anti-virus program. The real solution is simply not to go to sites that carry this stuff. If that means having a nanny program, then so be it.
I religiously install Spybot and then immunize. I love it when I get an email wanting to know why a user can't download music anymore from *.ru.
Thanks for the info.
I just ask if they've been browing porn. The Dilbert approach.

With a strong run at Pocono under his belt, Dale Jarrett headed to
Michigan International Speedway with some confidence.
Part of the reason? There's only about 200 points between him and a chance to compete for a Nextel Cup title.
But Jarrett's not preoccuppied with the top 10 chase right now. He's focusing
on improvement -- and he's done plenty of that this season.
"I think we're finally headed in the right direction," Jarrett said.
On Friday, Jarrett did struggle in qualifying, forcing him to start 37th for Sunday's race at Michigan. Still, he hopes that come race time he'll have what it takes to continue his climb from 26th in the standings.
"Well (this) car certainly performed well all weekend at Pocono from
qualifying to practice and definitely in the race," Jarrett said. "Michigan and Pocono are obviously different tracks, but some of the
same principles come into play. Aerodynamics and horsepower are
essential at Michigan like they are at Pocono.
"This car handles really well and I just felt good in the car. As
disappointing as Sunday was in Pocono, I have to be a little excited
about the prospects of running this car in Michigan. I had a great feel
with it and I have to believe we'll see more of the same this weekend in
Drivers often say it takes a love for a track to succeed there. If
that's the case, Jarrett should be OK this weekend. Michigan, after all, is one of his favorite tracks.
"Obviously I am partial to that track because that is where I got my
first win and that is always going to make Michigan special," said
Jarrett, who has since added 29 more victories. "But I think that more
than that it is a track that offers all the things that a driver looks
for in racing.
"The track is extremely wide and there is plenty of room for
side-by-side racing and the track surface is conducive for that type of
racing. Plus, there are multiple grooves at Michigan so that if your car
isn't working well in one groove there is a chance that you can find
another groove where your car will work. I've won races running up high
against the wall, and I've run races running right along the bottom of
the track so it just offers a lot of options to a driver."
And those options, which he's mastered along the years, haven't changed
much over time.
"The cars, with their aero and engine packages, have changed, but the
way you drive Michigan hasn't really changed that much," he said. "You
may change the way that you drive throughout the 400 miles on Sunday
because there are going to be times that the bottom of the racetrack is
going to be the quickest way around. You're probably going to move up to
about the middle of the track, and then possibly the quick way around
might even get to the very top of the race track. That changes
throughout the course of 400 miles as the conditions of the track
"Obviously, our speeds are a little quicker than what they used
to be, but the way that you drive and the things that you do are pretty
much the same."
But as much as Jarrett loves Michigan, and as adept as he is at racing
there, it isn't all about him. The No. 88 Ford team, in the midst of a
major restructuring and rebuilding effort, will play a big role.
"Of course it all goes back to handling," he said. "If your car
doesn't handle well then all the horsepower in the world isn't going to
help you if you can't take advantage of it exiting or getting into the
corners. The one thing that does set Michigan apart from every other
track though is the multiple racing grooves.
"That's why I like this track so much. You may not have a good handle on
the car in the bottom groove but it may work great in the middle or
upper groove. That's what sets this track apart from other tracks we
visit is the options available to the driver and team."

Man Shoots Himself After Standoff With Police in Gowanus
He also injured two metal workers.
A Brooklyn steel fabrication plant became the scene of a police standoff on Monday morning after a man shot two people in the building and then holed up inside. According to several reports, the still-unnamed 54-year-old walked into C & A Ironworks, at 13th Street and Hamilton Place in Gowanus, at around 11 a.m. and asked about getting a job there. "He was quiet, calm, nice, polite," iron worker Dmitry Tabakin told the New York Daily News. After being sent upstairs to the management office, where he was rejected, the applicant came back down "looking nervous," said another employee, Marcos Chantes. "He's looking behind his back like someone is looking for him."
The man then pulled out a .9 mm and began shooting at staffers, hitting two. He then barricaded himself in a storeroom for a nearly two-hour showdown with the cops. At one point, he threw out "a crude device with wires and a fuse," but the Daily News reports that a bomb squad determined that it was just a harmless lead pipe. By 1:15, it was over: "45 minutes of dialogue and unprovoked he shot himself," NYPD hostage negotiator Lieutenant Jack Cambria told DNAinfo. "We thought the dialogue was positive." Meanwhile, both of the gunman's victims were taken to Lutheran Hospital in critical condition.

Three Important Love Myths
The Truth About Love
By Sarah Shuling
What love myths exist and what is the truth about love? All of us would have some kind of experience with love. Either we have been in love, or we have been loved by somebody, or both. It is part of life.
When I was growing up, I started to wonder: What is love? Is it just a fuzzy feeling or more than that? Once you fall in love with the "perfect someone", is it happily ever after? Was love actually designed by God, and if so, then for what purpose? Why has love become a very loose term in which we can say we "love to eat" and we "love God"?
Maybe you have had similar questions going through your mind. I invite you to join me in my journey to discover what is the Truth About Love.
Love Myths # 1: Love is based on feelings
We often associate love with feelings. Some people say it's a fuzzy feeling inside you that causes you to keep thinking about someone. Every time you see that someone your heart beat increases and you start to get cold sweat and shivers. But the problem I found with this explanation is that the fuzzy feeling always fades away, not only from my own experience, but everyone I knew had the same experience. The initial excitement will always fade as time goes by and when there is predictability and security in the relationship. And when two people start to get to know one another, because of our different backgrounds and experiences, there are bound to be misunderstandings and quarrels. During these times of argument and disagreement, is there no love between a couple? And the other problem I had was that how about love between children and their parents or grandparents? Do we have that kind of fuzzy feeling toward our elders? Does that mean we do not love them?
The Truth About Love #1: Love is a choice, a commitment and a command.
I found that (and I'm not the first – just google it and you will know) love is actually a choice, more than a feeling. This means that we can choose to love somebody even if they do not love us back, we can choose to care for someone even though they have not done anything deserving, we can choose to love and provide for people we don't even know halfway across the world, and we can even choose to love our enemies. (No, that is not stupidity. It is a choice and a command.)
Love is also a commitment, which means that in good or bad times, in happy or sad times, we choose to love and do good to the person we are committed to. Many marriages have failed because the wife and husband have quarreled so much and have so many disagreements they say there are no more feelings of love between them anymore and hence there is no point for them to remain married. This changes when a couple view their love toward each other as a commitment and choice to love each other no matter what happens, to always care and support each other, to listen each other and think the best of each other, and grow old together – their commitment is for life. How many people actually understand and follow through their wedding vows when they say "till death do us part"?
So I went on to find out what the Bible said about love being a choice. This is what I found: that God clearly commands us to love Him and to love one another.
Deuteronomy 6:5
John 14:21
John 15:9
Colossians 3:13-15
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
We even have the choice of who or what we want to love. Besides people, there are endless things we can "fall in love" with. Some people love to sleep, some love to eat. Some love money, some love fame. Some love pleasure, some love evil, and some even love death. The Bible teaches us:
Proverbs 20:13
Proverbs 21:17
Matthew 6:24
1 Timothy 6:10
1 John 2:15
God's command is that we are to love Him and love our neighbours, this love being a choice and a commitment, one that does not require anything from the person we are to love. We are also not to love money, or sleep, or pleasure, or evil, or anything else that the world offers us. Yes indeed all these things can cause an excitement in our veins, an increased heartbeat because of the thrill and pleasure. But these are all a trick, because they will never truly satisfy you, and they will only draw you away from God.
So when you search for your future husband or wife, be sure to be wise. Do not look just for someone who is handsome or beautiful, someone who is pleasing to your eyes and senses, or someone who tells you that you are beautiful and praises you or makes you feel good by the way he/she touches you. Seek God for wisdom and direction, and listen to His leading and His word. His word tells us what a husband and a wife should be like and these are the qualities we should be looking for in our future spouse.

The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl will be played at SMU's Gerald Ford Stadium for the second straight season
while TCU continues renovations to Amon G. Carter Stadium.
This year's game takes place on Dec. 30 and will be broadcast on ESPN. Last year's game was moved to SMU because of improvements being made at TCU. The game is scheduled to return to Fort Worth in 2012, TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said.
Last year's game, in which Army defeated SMU 16-14, drew an SMU-record crowd of 36,742.
"We are excited to serve as the host of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl for the second straight year," SMU AD Steve Orsini said in a statement.

Sunrise Biscotti
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 45 mins
This refreshing biscotti is brightened up by the beautiful colors of the blood orange. White chocolate & honey add sweetness. This recipe was developed as an entry in the Ready Set Cook #11 contest. I personally like my biscotti a little softer, so it can be enjoyed as a cookie by itself or for dipping in my morning coffee. For a crispier cookie, increase bake times 5-10 minutes each.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup butter (no substitutes)
- 3⁄4 cup white sugar
- 1 blood orange
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 cup chopped pecans
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In large mixer bowl, add sugar, butter and honey.
- Grate the peel from the blood orange using the large side of the cheese grater. Take care not to grate the pith (the white layer between peel and fruit). Add grated peel to mixer bowl.
- Cut orange in half and squeeze juice out of both halves; add to bowl.
- Cream all together til light and fluffy.
- Add almond extract and then both eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually blend into creamed mixture.
- With wooden spoon, stir in chopped pecans and white chocolate chips.
- Dough will be slightly sticky.
- Turn out onto lightly floured surface and divide into two halves.
- Using your hands, roll one half into a 10-12 inch log and place lengthwise on greased cookie sheet.
- Gently flatten log into a long rectangle about 2-1/2 inches wide.
- Repeat with second half of dough, leaving about 3 inches between flattened logs on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven, or until a pale gold color.
- Remove from oven but leave logs on baking sheet til cool enough to handle.
- Gently transfer to cutting board and slice each log on a diagonal into 1-inch wide slices.
- Return to baking sheet and arrange so that there is a little space between each cookie.
- Return to oven and bake 10 minutes, then turn each cookie over to expose the opposite cut side and bake for 10 minutes more or until golden and crisp.

Great Biscotti. I did add a few thing to mine 1/4 cup each of white chocolate chips, pecans, and orange flavored cranberries. Worked out fine for me, just really have to adjust the cooking time a bit. Thanks for sharing the recipes with us.
FALL PAC 2008: Tink - these are awesome. I love the color the blood orange gives these cookies!! Wonderful citrus flavor!
Yummy! This was my first time making biscotti and it was very good. I couldn't get a blood orange, so I used a navel orange, but only used 2 T. of juice since blood oranges are smaller. I'm not sure if that was still too much or what, but my dough was very soft, so I popped it in the freezer for about 5 min. and it was the perfect consistancy then. I also left out the white chocolate because I'm not a huge fan. I think next time I will use slightly more orange zest and almond extract just to give them a little boost. All in all I nice little biscotti! thanks

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The Sacramento City Council has voted to launch a "cash for grass" program that will provide rebates to homeowners who replace their water-guzzling grass lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping.
The Sacramento Bee says (http://bit.ly/1ctZLXF) demand for the rebates is expected to be high. City utilities officials say they already had a waiting list for the program before the spending plan was unanimously approved Tuesday night.
The rebate plan has not been finalized, but could involve homeowners receiving 50 cents per square foot of lawn, up to 1,000 feet. The city has set aside $100,000 for the program and plans to start issuing rebates in April.
In January the council enacted a mandatory 20 percent reduction on citywide water usage, as the state grapples with an historic drought that has led to low levels in reservoirs and rivers.

Other books by this author that you might enjoy include The Great Gilly Hopkins and Flip-Flop Girl.
If you're a beginning reader who likes to read series books, here are a couple suggestions. Each title is the first in the series.
