The ideal Internet and network solution for the home and small office environment. Perfect for streaming HD movies, music, and e-mailing from multiple PCs simultaneously. With speeds of up to 300Mbps, the Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti wireless router upgrades an existing wireless connection and provides greater coverage than wireless-G.
- Wireless-N Standard Networking offers up to 300Mbps and better coverage
- Enhanced Multi-Level Security WPA2, WPA-PSK (TKIP, AES) and 128/64bit WEP security are supported
- Secure and easy Set-up with AOSS or WPS
- Position vertically, horizontally or wall mounted
Buffalo AirStation™ Nfiniti™ Wireless-N Router & Access Point is the next standard Wireless router designed to 802.11n specifications. The AirStation One-Touch Secure System (AOSS™) or Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS) provides a quick and easy way to create secure Wireless connections within minutes. Each connected PC or laptop can use different security levels simultaneously. It is also possible to restrict access from other devices connecting with different encryption levels. For example TKIP/AES encryptions can be used for your PCs and WEP encryption for a gaming console simultaneously, but if someone tries to access the network using WEP encryption (which is the weakest encryption) they cannot access other devices connected via TKIP/AES. Internal antennae and compact chassis. Can be positioned vertically, horizontally or wall mounted.

Cracking value
Reviewed by Euan. Review Posted 25/02/2011
For such an inexpensive router, it's an amazingly good buy. It's a small, sleek-looking black unit containing some very capable internals; the open source dd-wrt firmware is available for it too.

Great product!
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 26/05/2010
The previous reviewer has a point. However, despite this the router is absolutely brilliant, particularly for the money. Some have made negative comments about the strength of its Wi-Fi signal, but my experience with it proved to be the opposite.
This router is great, and is excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Similar vein to other reviews; good value and quality all round.
Not fully checked out wireless range but my Nokia phone connects better thru this than it used to with the talktalk cheapo which I'm now using as the modem plugged into this kit. Quicker speed test as well (up from 7ish to 8+ mbps).

Great for WDS
Reviewed by Ian. Review Posted 06/05/2012
I don't often review products but noticed a poor review of this router by someone who couldn't set up WDS. Well I have three of these routers. The first is connected by RJ45 to my gateway router. The second bridges to the first and is used to provide me with internet connection for my a/v equipment in the living room (iPlayer, XBOX Live, etc). The third bridges to the first and provides me with an internet connection for my a/v equipment in the master bedroom. This is very easy to do with the web UI. DHCP is turned off on all three routers (the gateway router assigns IP addresses). The first router acts as a wireless access point as well as bridging to the other two routers. If you know what you are doing then these are amazingly good value for money routers. An easy five star purchase for me.

Reviewed by John Parker. Review Posted 08/11/2010
Used this device solely as an wireless Access Point to my wired network. I mainly have my childrens' WiFi phones connected to this device. I have WPA/PSK (AES)encryption, with MAC address filtering with no SSID transmitted. This was very easy to set up via the Web GUI. Used it for the last two weeks without any problems. I would recommend this bit of kit to anyone. Very good. I have attached my wireless laptop, without any problems as well, just to see if I could. I have also configured it that wireless devices can modified the configuration. Just a device attached to the wired network. Also, I switched off AOSS, and the option that allows other Wirelss AP that can attach to this one. 10/10

Snap it up - it's a bargain if you know what you're doing
Reviewed by Ian Downie. Review Posted 27/05/2010
I'm writing this sitting in the garden as far away as I can get from the router, which is in a bedroom on the other side of the house. I'm downloading a file at a pretty respectable speed. The maximum signal close up to the AirStation isn't very high but it falls away quite slowly, the biggest jump being when I go outside.
The unit itself is very neat and compact and the web based interface is fine if you know what you are doing. The instructions would probably baffle people with little knowledge wanting to use it to extend coverage as I do. It didn't like the admin password I put in and I had to reset it to factory settings to get back in - eight characters including lower case and numbers. I put in a simpler one and the problem went away.

Just had this a couiple of days butI've used a lot of routers and this one isn't going to win a medal for being the easiest to set up, however if you read the notes section within the browser set up screens you should be okay? One worry though was the way my internet dropped off a couple of times when streaming video using Windows Media Player and an XBox 360 over a two hour period today. This is a good buy for the money and you wan't go far wrong.

WDS doesn't work - don't buy as a range extender
Reviewed by Disappointed. Review Posted 20/05/2011
Bought this to use as a range extender with my other buffalo router. Unfortunately, whilst it may work well as a wireless router, it doesn't work at all as a range extender. It is supposed to support the WDS protocol and it may do. However, I couldn't tell it was impossible to set up in its bridge mode. To start with, the shipped software couldn't even detect it (over a wired connection) and then when it did failed to log on to it. I had the same problem - when set as a router worked fine, but you can't set up the WDS when it is in router mode. (Specifically, it would not detect other wireless networks and would not remember manually entered settings.) And since you can't connect to it when in bridge mode - not wired, and since it doesn't transmit until you've set up in bridge mode, you're a bit stuck. Not even the AOSS auto set up work. So a dead loss as a range extender even with an allegedly compatible buffalo router generating the network to be extended. At least have taken it back

WASHINGTON (December 20, 2012)—U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made it clear Thursday that a deal to avert a plunge off the so-called fiscal cliff before Christmas is unlikely.
Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday that lawmakers will be back the Thursday after Christmas, Dec. 27.
The U.S. House was moving ahead with votes Thursday on a GOP plan to raise taxes on people earning more than $1 million a year.
Reid said that's a non-starter in the Senate, and the White House has threatened a veto.
Negotiations between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner so far have produced no deal to avoid the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that kick in after the first of the year.

More than 50 members of Campbellsville Baptist Church's 412 Student Ministries visited Ireland in July on a mission trip.
The group partnered with Project Evangelism at the Murlough House in Northern Ireland.
Project Evangelism works alongside local churches and evangelizes in areas not reached by them. The goal for the ministry is to lead others to faith in Christ, then encourage discipleship and placement of new converts into churches for training and spiritual growth.
The group led vacation Bible school for children and teenagers in Downpatrick and Dundrum.
I had heard the complaint before in other places, at other times.
"I struggle with wanting my child to participate in summer Little League baseball and still have time for our family events, not to mention participation in church," the concerned mother told me over the phone. "It just seems like we can't do it all."
In her particular situation, baseball games were being scheduled not only on Sundays, but on Sunday mornings - a definite conflict for Christians who want their family to worship together. As a parent, and as a pastor, I understood.
Campbellsville Baptist Church will host a single moms' ministry from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
The group is for any woman of any age who is raising children alone. There will be one practical life class offered each month. September will focus on stress management. October will be a car clinic. Look for topics such as money management, home repairs, etc. in the months ahead.
Activities will be available for children from birth to 12th grade.
Call 465-8115 for more information.
The mentors of Christian Women's Job Corps met in April to sew witnessing dolls.
The dolls were taken to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in North Dakota to be used in an after-school program.
First United Methodist Church has a new pastor.
The Rev. Ron Young was appointed to serve as senior pastor in June by the Kentucky Annual Conference.
He and his wife Linda are both graduates of Asbury College. Young received his M. Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky., and has served churches in the Kentucky conference including St. Paul in Frankfort, Park UMC in Lexington and Crescent Hill in Louisville.
Linda taught high school English and was a professor and director of secondary education at Asbury College.
Through Thursday
Acton Baptist Church will have Saddle Ridge Ranch Vacation Bible School from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. For more information, call 465-3462.
Through Friday
Green River Memorial Baptist Church will host Vacation Bible School "Galactic Blast: A Cosmic Adventure Praising God" from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Call 465-6032 for more information.
Feathersburg Church of God will have Vacation Bible School, Joseph's Journey from Prison to Palace, from 6 to 8:30 each evening. For more information, call 789-4316.
Andre Morton wore a beige suit, black shirt and shiny black shoes, and he was ready to preach the gospel.
Morton, of Vine Grove, Ky., was one of a class of upperclassmen who recently participated in a theology class that prepared students on the correct way to prepare and deliver sermons.
"We were created to bring God's glory to his name. We serve a loving, faithful God," Morton said in a soft voice. "There is power in God and Jesus' name. We are called to serve."
Elk Horn Baptist Church has begun a "Wings of Angels" soup kitchen ministry.
Beginning April 26, each Monday from 5:30 to 7 p.m., a hot meal will be served to anyone in need.
For those who do not have transportation, call the church office and it will be provided. Meals can also be delivered.
A "Wings of Angels" clothes closet will also be available.
Contact the church at 789-2113 for more information.
Megan Underwood, daughter of Doug and Darrelyn Underwood, was a state winner in the Children's Bible Drill competition sponsored by the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
She competed in the state Bible Drill at Calvary Baptist Church in Lexington on May 8 and became a winner by giving more than 20 correct responses to the 24 questions posed.
To be able to compete at the state level, she first had to win the church drill at her home church of Salem Baptist and then win the Taylor County Baptist Associational Children's Bible Drill.
Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Green County will have a homecoming service on Sunday, May 30.
All members, former members, their families and friends of the church are invited to attend. The service will begin at 11 a.m. with Bro. Charles Owens bringing the message and special music by Benjamin Whitlock.
There will be a baptism immediately following the service. There will also be a potluck lunch. The church will provide meat, bread and drinks. Following lunch, Joe Milby will be performing special music.

The Colorado Springs mother accused of drowning her own son admitted to killing him, according to court documents obtained by KRDO NewsChannel 13.
Shannon Dodson faces a first degree murder charge in the death of her son, five-year-old Jude Murray-Gomez.
According to Dodson's affidavit, when detectives asked her if she knew why they wanted to speak with her, she said, "because I killed my son."
The affidavit said she started to cry and said, she shouldn't have done it, she didn't know why she did it, she thought they would go together and she couldn't believe she did it.
Firefighters found the five-year-old boy when they responded to a fire at the Hill Park Apartments on East Pikes Peak Avenue Friday. The court documents said they found the boy wrapped in a smoldering blanket between a bed and a wall. And that they found Dodson naked and wet inside a closed closet, with her eyes closed. The boy showed no visible signs of life, but he along with Dodson were taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead, the affidavit reads.
According to the court documents, Detectives and firefighters also found furniture and other things just inside the entrance as if they had been put there to barricade the door. They also found that the fire was in the only occupied bedroom in the apartment. Most of the damage was in the side of a mattress near where the five-year-old was found. There were also matches and a half-empty bottle of what looked like sleeping pills. Detectives also saw the bathtub filled with water to the overflow drain.
Detectives also spoke with relatives. One of Dodson's daughter said "her mom told her that she wanted to die and would kill Jude and kill herself." But after talking to her, Dodson said she wouldn't do it, the affidavit reads. One of the boy's aunts told detectives the he told her "he didn't like to shower or take baths at his mom's house because she liked to dunk his head under water."

This is not the rivalry anyone had in mind when Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy began the year.
They made their debut in Abu Dhabi last month, and both missed the cut. The next time they played in the same tournament was last week in the Match Play Championship, and both were ousted in the first round at Dove Mountain (Ariz.).
The difference is that Woods returned to Torrey Pines the week after missing the cut. He left little reason for anyone to doubt his game when he built a lead that reached eight shots until the day dragged on, and he won by four for his 75th PGA Tour title.
McIlroy knew starting the year there would attention on his change from Titleist to Nike, and it only intensified with two bad results.
McIlroy, though, didn't sound worried at the Honda Classic, which begins the tour's Florida swing Thursday at Palm Beach Gardens.
"It's fine," he said. "I knew coming into (the year) it was going to be a bit of a process and I knew there was going to be comments if it didn't happen for me right away. I'm only two tournaments into the season. I've still 20 to go. So it's not like I'm in any rush."
Last year, McIlroy was runner-up in Abu Dhabi, tied for fifth in Dubai, lost in the final of the Match Play Championship and then won the Honda Classic, making one clutch par save after another to hold off Woods. McIlroy went to No. 1 by winning at PGA National, and he's been atop the world ranking since winning the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island (S.C.) in August.
How much longer he stays there depends on his game -- and that of Woods, who is No. 2 and making up ground.
The Match Play Championship is the most unpredictable event in golf, and Woods is a great example of that. He is the only three-time winner, yet he has yet to make it out of the second round since his last win in 2008. Woods played bogey-free on a course that still had traces of snow and was beaten by Charles Howell III, who played even better.
"Generally if you're missing a cut, you're not playing that well," Woods said Wednesday after his pro-am round. "I actually played well, and only played one day. So I missed a few putts, but other than that, I really played well. Unfortunately, I ran into a guy who also played well -- better than I did."
McIlroy didn't look sharp at all when he was eliminated by Shane Lowry. His weakness was iron play, leaving several shots out to the right. So was it his swing or his new equipment? McIlroy suggested a little of both.
"It's still an adjustment period," he said. "It's going to be a gradual thing."

Cervical Cancer Health Center
Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy
How To Prepare continued...
Do not have sexual intercourse or put anything into your vagina for 24 hours before a colposcopy. This includes douches, tampons, and vaginal medicines. You will empty your bladder just before your colposcopy.
You may want to take a pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), 30 to 60 minutes before having a colposcopy, especially if a biopsy may be done. This can help decrease any cramping pain that can be caused by the colposcopy.
Schedule your colposcopy for when you are not having your period. Heavy bleeding makes it harder for your doctor to see your cervix. The best time to schedule a colposcopy is during the early part of your menstrual cycle, 8 to 12 days after the start of your last menstrual period.
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the colposcopy, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
Colposcopy is usually done by a gynecologist, a family medicine physician, or a nurse practitioner who has been trained to do the test. If a biopsy is done, the sample will be looked at by a pathologist. Colposcopy can be done in your doctor's office.
You will need to take off your clothes below the waist. You will be given a covering to drape around your waist. You will then lie on your back on an examination table with your feet raised and supported by foot rests (stirrups).
The doctor will insert a lubricated tool called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum gently spreads apart the vaginal walls so your doctor can see inside the vagina and the cervix.
The colposcope is moved near your vagina, and your doctor looks through the microscope at the vagina and cervix. Vinegar (acetic acid) or iodine (Lugol's solution) may be used on your cervix to make abnormal areas more visible. Photographs or videos of the vagina and cervix may be taken.

ACK! I've been tagged, so I'm it!
Christiane from the MomChef tagged me to play along in this game of getting to know me, getting to know all about me. I love this kind of stuff, so of course I decided to play along (once I saw the questions she was going to ask, that is.)
1. What's the best live event (concert, comedian, etc.) that you've ever attended and when/why?
I have a lot of fond memories of rock concerts from my teens, but I was in my late 40's when I attended my most memorable concert. I saw Aerosmith from the fifth row and when Steven Tyler sang "Dream On" he was looking right into my eyes the entire time. Of course, alcohol plays strange tricks on the mind and memory. I'm still waiting for him to call me.
2. If you were given the opportunity to cook alongside any one professional chef, who would it be?
Oh, most definitely Sandra Lee. There are just sooooo many seasoning packets I've yet to try and I could only hope that she'd share a few of her 150 different colored Kitchen Aid mixers with me. If not, perhaps she could at least help me learn how to make her Kwanzaa cake (And can I just tell you, it's the corn nuts that put it over the top, you know.)
3. When you were growing up, what did you want to be? Are you doing that? If not, what?
I always wanted to be a housewife/homemaker, and after a brief 30-year stint as a dental hygienist, I've finally found my dream job.
4. If your house was on fire, what one item would you grab from the kitchen to save?
My calendar. Leaving it behind would be like leaving my mind and memory behind. (Don't worry Dr. Knuth, I know I have an appointment with you sometime in January.... or is it February?)
5. Coke or Pepsi?
Fountain Diet Coke from McDonalds. (which I always order with a side of parsley and a carrot stick)
6. How many years have you been friends with the person you've known the longest?
Nancy, the daughter my Mom never knew she had. She's been my best friend/sister for almost 30 years.
7. What food dish do you consider the most daunting and have not yet gotten up the courage to attempt it yet?
I would like to learn to make laminated dough/puff pastry but since I can't even make a pie crust properly, I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that this will never happen.
8. If you were an animal, what would you be?
I'd be a dog so I could talk to my own dog and ask him why he eats his poop.
Now it's my turn to pass this along to some of my blogging pals. (Are you skeered that your name might be on the list? You should be.) Awww... Y'all know me better than that. I'm going to take it easy on all of you and not put any of you on the spot. And here's why. These would be my questions:
#1. If you were stranded on a desert island with Willie Nelson and Mario Batali, which one would you rather have sex with? Which one would you rather cook for?
#2. If Sandra Lee came to your house and decorated your Christmas tree for you, would you lie about how much you LLLove it, or would you be honest and tell her that martini, wine and champagne glasses do NOT belong on Christmas trees.
#3. If Tyler Florence came to your house while Sandra Lee was decorating your tree with alcohol glasses and empty booze bottles, would you slip off to a remote corner of your home and have your way with him?
#4. If Bobby Flay showed up on your doorstep for a Throw Down, would you indeed throw yourself down? Right there in the foyer? With the door open and everything?
#5. If Giada De Laurentiis asked you "Does this shirt make my cleavage look fat?" would you tell her the truth?
#6. If Paula Deen could manufacture fat-free butter, would you quit making all of your other recipes and rely solely on hers?
#7. If the Neely's disappeared from the Food Network and/or the face of the earth forever, would you be disappointed?
#8. Do you have a Food Network obsession? Or is it just me.
See you all next week. Hugs, kisses..... and have a great weekend!

Oh lady, you are so wrong. I saw Aerosmith too; probably the same concert but not from that close. Steven Tyler definitely has IT.
Regarding your soda choice, my husband thinks I'm nuts because I tell him all the time that there's nothing like Diet Coke from McDonalds. Of course, I'm not as good as you. I have a Big Mac. Yer my hero.
Did I ever mention that I stopped watching the Food Network and that you've just mentioned about all the reasons (and no, you couldn't pay me to throw down with Bobby Flay)?

Knitter's Review
March 22, 2007
What does the average knitter have in common with yak herders in the high Himalayas of Tibet?
Not much. But this week I introduce a company that hopes to change this. Shokay brings you yarn made of pure yak down from those very same Tibetan herders. It's a noble goal, but what's the yarn like? We find out.

|Treasury of Wisdom
The Rigpa Treasury of Wisdom project aims to preserve and make available a unique collection of teachings given by some of the most outstanding masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the Modern World
Since the 1970s, Rigpa and Sogyal Rinpoche have played a leading role in inviting some of the most eminent masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to give teachings in the West, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the heads of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and many of the most outstanding masters and lineage holders of our time.
These teachers were amongst the first generation of great masters to introduce Tibetan Buddhism to the modern world, and the teachings they gave form a historic and priceless treasure.
Please support the Treasury of Wisdom by making a donation.
The Treasury of Wisdom project is compiling, cataloging, researching, archiving and making available this great wealth of teachings, for the benefit of as many people as possible.
Urgency to Save Aging and Disintegrating Tapes
Much of the urgency of the project is to save many thousands of hours of valuable and unique audio and video recordings from aging and disintegration. More than two thirds of the archive has been successfully digitized. A further ten years of tapes still remain to be preserved in this way. Simultaneously, the Treasury of Wisdom is also creating and filing the transcriptions of the materials digitized.
The archive also houses a remarkable collection of over 12,000 photographs and printed documents. They include historic photographs of the great Buddhist masters who first gave teachings in the West, as well as rare photographs taken in Tibet and India. These images are being transferred by dedicated archivists to digital formats.
Available to Masters, Scholars and Organizations
The Treasury of Wisdom also provides preservation services to other masters, groups and organizations. Materials from the archive are available to masters and scholars, and are regularly used as reference and source materials. The Treasury of Wisdom is making available selected teachings from the archive as part of Rigpa's on-going cycle of courses; on CD and DVD through the regular Rigpalinks programme; and where possible over the internet.
The Treasury of Wisdom operates thanks to generous support from individuals and foundations, and would like to recognise in particular the Bodhi Foundation, Zam, members of Rigpa Australia and of many other national Rigpa centres, and numerous Rigpa's students.
Please support the Treasury of Wisdom by making a donation.
Thank you for your generosity

VAIL, Colorado - Vail lost a kindred spirit and companion with the passing of June Simonton Feb. 19. June was born in Albany, N.Y., and raised in New Jersey. One of three sisters, she spoke often of summers spent with her family at Swartswood Lake, where she learned to fly fish, sail and canoe.
At Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, she met her future husband, Don. The two sang together in the prestigious Gettysburg College Choir. They were married in 1952, and spent a summer honeymoon living in a cabin seven miles up rugged Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, where Don was working as a park ranger. The wild places of Wyoming served as June's introduction to the Rocky Mountain West, and she was hooked.
Following their graduations from college and seminary in 1953, June and Don headed for New Mexico to organize and build a Lutheran church in Albuquerque, where sons Cliff and Denny were born. In New Mexico, the Simontons founded another church in Santa Fe.
In 1957, Don founded Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp near Westcliffe and became camp director. The family spent summers on a ranch near the camp for many years, and fell in love with the mountains and ranching lifestyles of Colorado. When Don was offered the opportunity to provide ministry to this "new ski resort town called Vail" west of Denver, he and June didn't hesitate, arriving in the Gore Valley in the fall of 1967. At that time there was no TV, and a herd of elk were known to bed down for the winter where Safeway presently sits. To call any of the 200 or so residents in the valley required dialing just the last four numbers on the phone. What a cool place!
A family, a congregation, a community
Don began building a congregation which later became the Mount of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, while June busied herself raising her two boys, organizing church functions, making friends, and participating in as many of the activities available in her new home as she possibly could. She loved hiking, skiing, fishing, camping, gathering wild mushrooms and digging for old bottles, as long as there was someone to share the adventure with.
"She was my best friend," early Vail resident Ellen Jacobsen said. "We would spend days digging for bottles in old mining towns and at places like the Leadville dump. Our excavations were sometimes very large, and it was so exciting when one of us would call out 'I think I have something!'. We would then work like archeologists to extract whatever it was - and many, many treasures were found. Her enthusiasm and energy and sense of humor made her so much fun to be around."
Enchanted by the colors of the New Mexican landscape, June began painting the mesas and mountains of the southwest when she lived in Albuquerque. She later took lessons at the Santa Fe School of Fine Arts and continued her studies at numerous workshops with renowned artists including Lorenzo Chavez, Gerald Fritzler, Jack Kephart and, most recently, with Gerald Merfeld in his studio workshop near Westcliffe.
Talented in all mediums, her oils, pastels and watercolors won many awards in art shows both in Vail and in the Wet Mountain Valley near Westcliffe. She recently earned Best of Show in the professional class at the Palisade Art Show in Grand Junction. Friends and family remember her "waking up with a paintbrush in her hand, and having it with her when she returned to bed at night."
She frequently challenged her friends by asking them to list the colors that were actually present in a shadow, or on a distant mountain ridge, or a snow covered hillside. It was never what you thought it would be.
Sydney Summers, a longtime friend and painting companion, recalled June's loyalty and commitment to both friends and family. "She was delightfully unique, and her friendship was such a precious gift to me. I feel honored and privileged to have known her, and to have shared so many wonderful experiences, and so much laughter, these past 30 years."
June was one of the first people Susie Kincade met when she arrived in Vail in 1981. "June and Don opened their home and hearts to me and my family," Kindcade said. "It was like we had always known each other. She became my spirit mom, inspiring me and guiding me throughout our friendship. June taught my two daughters, Meadow and Haley, how to draw and paint, where the wild raspberries grew, how to hike through the woods and see the natural world through an artist's lens, and she sang us her favorite songs in that melodious voice that was her special gift to the world."
An amazing mom
Sons Denny and Cliff remember an amazing mom.
"Her greatest joy was family and friends, stories and laughter," recalls Denny.
She was a great cook, and could fix anything on her sewing machine. If the house needed a new rug or pillows or Christmas ornaments, even clothes, she didn't buy them, she made them with her own hands.
"She was our greatest critic and an ever-present comforter," Cliff said. "Mom saw things as they really were and there was no messing around when it came time to make decisions and get things done."
Her sons remember a classy lady who set the bar high, who emphasized happiness and balance and relationships as the most important goals.
"She always encouraged us to try new things. We are so lucky to have had her as our mentor and mom," Cliff said.
A prolific writer, June's interest in Vail expanded into research about the history of the Gore and Eagle River Valleys, and she eventually authored or co-authored four books, including "Beaver Creek, the First 100 Years;" "Vail, Story of a Colorado Mountain Valley;" and "Living on the Mountain," which she wrote with Don.
June helped organize and served as curator and docent of the Colorado Ski Museum, and she chaired the "Save our Schoolhouse" committee, which resulted in the move and restoration of the Gore Valley Schoolhouse from its original location near Buffehr Creek to where it sits today in Ford Park. She saw the magic in wildflowers, and served during the formative years on the board of directors for the Betty Ford Alpine Garden.
June wrote articles and poems about nature and about life in Vail, many of which were published locally. Both her painting and her writing reflected a genuine love and appreciation for the land, and the people so intimately attached to mountain lifestyles, both past and present. She spoke often about how painting paired with writing in the sense that they both required seeing, learning, expressing and the process of creating.
"It's a rare privilege" she used to say, "to venture out with fellow artists and stand before a stunning scene in some valley, hoping to catch its light and its beauty. For challenge, adventure and just plain fun, there is nothing like it."
Don and June lived in Vail for 26 years, retiring in 1993 to Grand Junction. They continued to spend their summers at their cabin in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp, where they developed many close friendships. As her health began to fail, June loved to hear the stories of Vail, and would always finish with "That was so much fun - we sure did have a good time, didn't we?"
June employed a wonderful sense of humor, and was loved especially for her kindness, her compassion and her desire to listen. Always assuming good intent, she exhibited the very best of human nature. She is survived by her husband Don; sons Denny (Holly) and Cliff (Teak); and five grandsons, Riley, Schuyler, Koby, Kyle and Sands. Cliff, Denny and the boys continue her legacy and love, choosing Vail and the Eagle River Valley as the only place anyone would ever want to live.

About the Book
"By far the most profound thinker of the 19th century."
— Ludwig Wittgenstein<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The Present Age is the stunningly prescient essay on the rise of mass media—particularly advertising, marketing, and publicity—by the great philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, the "father of existentialism." With an introduction from celebrated philosopher Walter Kaufmann—who states "those who would know Kierkegaard can do no better than to begin with this book"—The Present Age is an ideal introduction to one of the greatest thinkers in the history of western philosophy.
In his seminal 1846 tract The Present Age, Søren Kierkegaard ("the father of existentialism"—New York Times) analyzes the philosophical implications of a society dominated by mass media—a society eerily similar to our own. A stunningly prescient essay on the rising influence of advertising, marketing, and publicity, The Present Age is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the modern world.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Those who would know Kierkegaard can do no better than to begin with this book. . . . In The Present Age we find the heart of Kierkagaard." — Walter Kaufman, from the "Introduction"
"The Present Age shows just how original Kierkegaard was. He brilliantly foresaw the dangers of the lack of commitment and responsiblity in the Public Sphere. When everything is up for endless detached critical comment as on blogs and cable news, action finally becomes impossible." — Hubert L. Dreyfus, University of California, Berkeley
"The first important existentialist." — The Encyclopedia of Philosophy

'American Idol' Auditions: TV Recap
A potential finalist or two, a ventriloquist, some serious weirdness, a message from above, beaucoup de tears, and well, one dude who looks like a lady. How many shows can boast that mixed bag of tricks?
Oklahoma City was the last stop for auditions before 'American Idol' takes Hollywood, but the first for Idol juggernaut Carrie Underwood years ago.
Things got off to a quirky start. Karl Skinner said he felt the need to move around. He asked if he could scratch that itch, then knocked out some James Brown. The judges cracked up with him and at Keith's suggestion, Karl played and sang a song he wrote himself. The judges had so much fun with this guy that Ryan had to come in and tell them to move it along and vote. They did, and Karl's going to Hollywood.
There was a fairly extensive rough streak of broken singers, prompting Randy Jackson to ask, "What is going on in Oklahoma, man?"
But then the night's shining star turned things around. Nate Tao's, whose parents are deaf, sang "For Once In My Life" and it was received with some warm smiles by the entire panel of judges. Mariah and Nicki loved it. "You're unassuming…looked like you were going to do my taxes," said Randy. Hollywood: check.
But then, it got weird again. Sort of. Oscar and his ventriloquist owner Hallie Hilburn stepped into the audition room to perform a…duet. Hallie and Oscar sang together, but when the judges were confused by what they'd seen, Hallie took another crack at it solo, and wowed them, as Oscar lay lifelessly on the ground. "I think Oscar's holding you back," said Keith. "I think you guys are going to have to sever the ties a little bit," said Mariah. Hallie got the greenlight to Hollywood, Oscar did not.
Zoanette Johnson sang a…unique, shall we say, version of the "Star Spangled Banner," receiving a word prompt from Mariah halfway through, and causing Keith to fall off of his chair during a high note at the end. Once finished, Zoanette took the time to appeal to Obama for an invite to the White House. Oddly, it was a go for Zoanette, it seems, though it was confusing to know how that happened exactly. Or was that a joke?
Anastacia Freeman cried, fell, entered the room, took off her shoes and then told the judges she, in fact, was the next American Idol. Based on the lead-up to this girl so close to the end of the hour, you'd have thought her Toni Braxton was going to be off the charts. It was just, sort of, off. Randy asked, "Did somebody tell you should come audition for Idol?" She said, yes, that God had told her to audition through her heart and soul, repeating, "Idol, American Idol." She got a big no and vowed never to listen to Mariah Carey again. Apparently, she never listened to Nicki anyway, so she said, "no loss there."
A young contestant, 16-year-old, Kayden Stephenson, has Cystic Fibrosis. It's a terminal illness and knowing he may only live to be 35, Kayden said he's waited for this audition forever, and when he got his chance he sang Stevie Wonder. Nicki likened him to a "baby Michael." Mariah said she was ready to go make his record right now, to which Kayden responded with adult game commenting on her bling and telling her that she was gorgeous. He's going to Hollywood.
A smoking hot old blond broad stepped onto the stage. She looked surprisingly like Steven Tyler. His chests honked, he did a strip tease and begged for a ticket to Hollywood. Dude looks like a lady.
Do you think there were a couple of finalists in this show? Follow Stephanie Krikorian on Twitter @stephiekrik.

PG&E Hunters Point Site
For 75 years, the Hunters Point Power Plant provided electricity to light and heat San Francisco homes and businesses. In 1998, PG&E signed an agreement with the City and County of San Francisco pledging to shut down the plant as soon as regulators could determine that the plant was no longer needed to supply reliable electrical service to San Francisco. In 2006, the regulators made that determination and PG&E promptly closed the plant.
Today, the Hunters Point Power Plant is gone. PG&E completed most of the planned soil cleanup by the end of 2011 and is on schedule to finish the rest by the end of 2012 in accordance with a plan approved by state regulators with input from the community.
The project is being overseen by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the City and County of San Francisco, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission.
PG&E made a commitment to the community to work in partnership and provide local job opportunities while working to dose, dismantle and cleanup the Hunters Point Power Plant, and we are keeping our promise. There has been a successful community, hiring program in place since the dismantling work began in 2007. PG&E is proud of the local jobs that have been created at the site since the plant closed and we look forward to continuing this partnership with the community.
We continually update this site as we have new information to share, so please check back frequently.

People often write to Empire Burlesque in search of an answer to one of the great conundrums of these modern times, namely: "Why are the American people such suckers? How could they -- or, to be more exact, how could a significant number of them -- ever have fallen for the transparent bullshit of such third-rate goobers as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the rest? How could the American people be so ignorant and misinformed about what goes on in the world? How can they be so ignorant and misinformed of their own history, of the dirty deals done in their names for years on end? How can this be?"
Good folk, look no further, for we do indeed have the answer here. If you want to know precisely how the American people are kept deliberately ignorant, simply click on the link to this story in the nation's "newspaper of record," the journal which sets the standard for and largely determines the news agenda of the American press: The Defiant Despot Oppressed Iraq for More than 30 Years. There, in the stately pages of The New York Times, you will find some 5,200 words written by Neil MacFar quhar detailing the rise, reign and fall of the Iraqi dictator. You will thrill to the usual gory details of torture, murder and savagery; you will tut at the violent barbarism of the rural riff-raff who got so far above his raising; you will snarl with condemnation at the mad aggressor who launched "continual wars" in the region, as the diligent scribe informs us.
[The actual total number of wars launched by Saddam Hussein was, er, two: the same number launched by George W. Bush -- if, that is, you don't count the never-ending, ever-expanding, great googily-moogily "Global War on Terror and Extremists and Radicals," in which case, Bush's "continual wars" far exceed the two conflicts instigated by Saddam -- one of which was overtly approved by Reagan Administration, the other tacitly approved by the Bush I administration.]
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
But what you will not find is any detail or examination whatsoever of the prominent, direct and continuing role the United States government played in bringing Saddam to power, maintaining him in office, underwriting h is tyranny, and rewarding his aggression. This decades-long history -- beginning with the CIA's assistance in not one but two coups that first brought the Baath Party to power then cemented the hold of Saddam's internal faction on the country through the journey to Baghdad by the obsequious Donald Rumsfeld who came bearing words of support, bags of cash and military high-tech for Saddam's chemical weapons attacks on Iran down to the delivery of money, WMD technology and other goods of war by George Herbert Walker Bush up to the very day before Saddam's long-threatened invasion of Kuwait, which Bush's personal representative had told the dictator was of no concern to the United States -- does not appear in McFarquhar's mountain of prose.
You'll find damning reference to Saddam's gas attack on Iraqi Kurds during the Reagan-Bush-supported war with Iran; but you will find not a single word of how the Bush I administration, which included Powell and Cheney, fought hard to kill off Congressional condemnation of the gassing. Nor does McFarquhar see fit to inform the public how Bush I signed a presidential directive mandating that U.S. government agencies forge ever-stronger ties with Iraq, despite the caveats of his own intelligence apparatus. And although McFarquhar finds space to quote from Saddam's ludicrous novels, he cannot quite squeeze in any reference to the Congressional investigations and other probes that revealed how Bush I secretly financed Saddam and, with British help, secretly supplied him with advanced weaponry through a series of corporate cut-outs and funneling cash through the bowels of what the U.S. Senate described as "one of the largest criminal enterprises in history" (until Junior Bush's gang came along), the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
But do let's be fair. The New York Times is not Pravda; it does not simply engage in the wholesale whitewashing of history in order to comfort the comfortable and keep the rabble from knowing what their betters really get up to behind the glowing video screen. No, its whitewashing is often incomplete; little flecks of partial truth will occasionally show through. [And to be genuinely fair, the paper does employ some journalists of genuine courage and merit on its staff, such as the estimable Carlotta Gall, whose reports from Afghanistan have done much to reveal the ugly realities behind that "good" and forgotten war.]
And so it is with McFarquhar's piece. For it is not entirely accurate to say that he does not mention U.S. support for Saddam anywhere in the story. In a bold act of speaking truth to power, the fearless McFarquhar devotes one whole sentence of 47 words to what he calls the American "tipping" toward Saddam in his war with Iran. Of course, the phrase comes some 2,278 words into the piece, by which time it's likely that very few people would still be plowing through his -- prose might be too strong a word; let's just call it his cud-like assemblage of well-chewed conventional wisdom. Here is the buried phrase entire:
The fear that an Islamic revolution would spread to an oil producer with estimated reserves second only to Saudi Arabia tipped the United States and its allies toward Baghdad and they provided weapons, technology and, most important, secret satellite images of Iran's military positions and intercepted communications.
[Because lord knows, we wouldn't want Iraq and its oil reserves given over to Islamic sectarians tied to Iran, now would we? Perish the thought!]
That's all McFarquhar has to say on this embarrassing subject. But credit where it's due: he did say something. Pravda never would have done that.
There is simply no way to understand the reign of Saddam Hussein, nor the past few decades of Iraq's history, without including the very real and important role that the United States has played in shaping these realities. The reason that tens of thousands of American soldiers have been killed and maimed -- and that hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have been slaughtered, and millions more plunged into hellish suffering -- is because this history has been buried, perverted, ignored or forgotten. And one of the main engines of this deliberately induced national amnesia is the New York Times and its fellow media mandarins. ***

your a dumb ass he is dead dont you worry! its people like you saying stupid shit that cause the rest of the world to go into a panic and not believe stuff that is true so keep your punk ass comments to your self shit face!
Grey said:
He deserves to die? We are the ones who put him into power int he first place, even called him a national asset. What about 150,000 civilians that have died durring the war for oil? We didn't kill all of them, but the number of civilian deaths by our hands blows away our own death tole. I say bush need to be held for war crimes. First he says we shoudl not use our troops for "nation building", now he is doing just that. He said we as the U.S. should not go around telling everyone else how we it should be done, now we are telling people by force. At first Saddam was a national asset, but now he is dead after he is no longer "Pro. U.S.". When a person shoots and kills another, you can say the eprson did not kill them, the gun did.... Bush has the controle and our troops are the weapons, therefor the blood of the middle east sence we got involved are on his hands and therefor should be held accountable.

Saddam was definitely deserving of punishment. he tried to wipe out the Kurds and he backed the 9/11 incident(some think), but i don't think he or anyone for that matter deserves the death penalty. Mohandis Ghandi said "and eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." so were really no better than him, we've killed a lot more people(including some of our own) than he did(the Native Americans, Vietnam, African Americans, etc.)
D-NICK said:
fair enough
Saddam recieved what the fuck he deserved. If he wants to kill, he should be killed, and that real talk no lies. We just murder those who like to be murder. He commited the crimes and recieved his sentnce. As for that little boy who mimiced him................................ no comment. oh and whoever posted that comment at the top your an asshole for real, you fucking idiot.

The original link.. who?
Well to understand any event you MUST have the correct perspective of chronological events.. we could start with the british occupation..... the knowledgeable are aware of the pre-90's decade or we could go back to centuries...
In the mid eighties the US and british government were arming saddam with the main purpose of sustaining a war with IRAN a much more fundamentalist and extreme regime..
The U.S & GB ARMED SADDAM!..
the trouble started when he bought arms on credit ,arms around the billion dollar mark more or less and refused to pay... OOps the crap hit the fan..
once saddam had decided 'i am being manipulated' he took the arms ...and with an about turn invaded Kuwait.. the confidence came from the sinister agenda of the US and GB
remeber the US & GB were not allowed to sell saddam arms period...
so... premise of curruption death and manipulation is not a sound basis to form any relationship with anyone let alone governments..
George bush jnr doesnt run the us.. george bush senior/ Baker administration do.. collin powell ring a bell..
Basically Sadam was a bit too clever for them and basically made a move before he was double crossed skull and bones style..
it is a well known FACT amongst the dominant hierarchy that George bush is expendible and a blatant liability and assasination can be afforded for a higher purpose....
and your right dead men tell no tales...
and there war is about oil woomination religeon and race.. and many more things..
and lets not forget france and president chirac who actually funded/invested in saddams nuclear plant.. in fact.. the nuclear plant was call 'osirak'? chirac/osirac..
so when france tried to resist and abstain from supporting the US invasion it wasnt ever morals.. it was over the vested interest Chirac/france had....
I could go on and on..
if Saddam hangs then so does Bush /Powell Baker bush senior and various other 'super powerful' humans who's names NEVER enter the frame...
Thatcher/bush senior etc.. empowered Saddam...
and ONE innocent death his inexcusable..
the higher purpose doesnt involve us...
we are sophisticated pawns
and i'm so cynical
disinformation is actually a republican/tory/democrat/labour dummy page trying to track those that oppose THE ORDER...
respect to disinfo for bringing something to myspace
and not a bikini in site.. i love it..

Knitter's Review
November 29, 2007
Cat being Cat, this is no ordinary stocking. It uses a disproportionate waste yarn technique to create multiple tiers of pouches in the arch expansion area. And you can use this same technique for all sorts of things that need not have anything to do with holidays or stockings.
As a special treat this week, we share Cat's pattern for Charlie's Christmas Stocking, which includes links to two helpful video tutorials on her disproportionate waste yarn technique.
And on November 16th, the online knitting community lost Gail McHugh. She was the longtime voice of reason and clarity as moderator of KnitU and founder of the Knit_Design list. Both will be dearly missed, and their contributions not soon forgotten.

Some of the attorneys at Theisen & Brock in Marietta have gotten themselves into a hairy situation this month.
In the name of charity, Matt Carlisle, Craig Wakefield, Dan Corcoran and Kristopher Justice have put down their razors and sprouted mustaches to raise money and awareness for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer.
"It is sort of akin to wearing the pink ribbon for breast cancer," said Carlisle of his mustache, which he calls the upside down horseshoe.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Movember participants at Theisen & Brock in Marietta are growing out their mustaches this November to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. From left, attorneys Matt Carlisle, Kristopher Justice, Dan Corcoran and Craig Wakefield, will soon be competing for the coveted "Lamest Mo Award" to be voted on by their office.
The mustachioed team calls themselves the Marietta Mo Maniacs, and they are all taking part in "Movember," or mustache November.
During Movember, hundreds of thousands of participants across the world shaved clean on Nov. 1 and have been growing out their 'staches for the cause. The event began in Australia in 2004 and spread to the United States in 2007. Since its inception, the month-long grow-a-thon has raised around $299 million.
"Bringing awareness to the cause and raising money to help fight a treatable and preventable disease is very important to us," said Justice.
This is the first year the four men have participated in the event and they have certainly gotten a variety of reactions to their new facial hair.
"My wife laughed at me," said Wakefield.
And reactions around the office have been varied.
"They've been in shock a good bit of the time because the four of us have not really had any dealings with facial hair. It looks strange," said Carlisle.
Still the office is eager to get in on the fun. They will soon be voting on the "Lamest Mo Award."
"There's no shame in winning that," joked Corcoran.
Carlisle said he heard about the event from a friend in Columbus who was participating and joined because the issued resonated with him.
"My grandfather had prostate cancer and has recovered," he said.
Still, he feels lucky that his grandfather got tested and caught the issue quickly.
"It makes you look in the mirror. Am I doing everything I should be?" he said.
The team has raised $755 dollars of their $1,000 goal and are still taking donations at their website at www.mobro.co/mariettamomaniacs.
As to the fate of their newly sprouted whiskers, Carlisle, Corcoran and Justice are eagerly awaiting Saturday, which is Dec. 1. Wakefield, however, is not so sure he wants to shave.
"I might keep mine because my wife doesn't like it," he joked.

Big Bailouts
Getting over 'too big to fail' policy
April 30, 2013
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, has the right idea but the wrong strategy. Brown has introduced a bill intended to safeguard taxpayers from having to bail out more "too big to fail" banks in the futur....
Being an ordinary man in America is starting to feel like S&M... Anybody catch the safe word?!
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Too big to fail wasn't as much a concern when Baer Sterns was failing. It wasn't until AIG, which housed the Congressional retirement fund, was on the brink that suddenly 'too big to fail' became an issue and suddenly GWB is willing to 'disregard the free market to save the free market,' Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are giving Wall Street Hank Paulson all the money he wanted and the US Treasury was suddenly the safety net for poor banking decisions.
The truth is, Washington (this isn't a party issue, both sides bailed out Wall Street) should have made a few changes such as eliminating mark to market rule then allowed banks to suffer their consequences of their decisions. They didn't though, they followed that up with a bad regulation that punishes small banks and gives large intuitions' carte blanche rule to stick it to taxpayers. And now Brown wants to increase the cost to those same taxpayers with more 'taxes' that will be passed along to the little man. SMH at the stupidity.

"$500 billion is peanuts".
BAILOUT SUMMARY: Estimated 4/13/2009.
1)Troubled Assest Program (TARP) = $5 billion. 2)Federal reserve Rescue Efforts = $700 billion, 3) Federal Stimulus Programs = $6.2 trillion. 4) FDIC Bank Takeovers = $20.7 billion. 5)Other Financial Initiatives = $1.7 trillion. 6)Other: Additional to AIG = $112 billion. 7)Other Housing Initiatives = $475 billion. Total promised 4/13/2009 = $10.5 trillion.
National Dept is now $16.9 trillion.

In retrospect, it looks like regulators could have let more big banks fail during the last crisis, & the economy would have gotten over the shock. & we little guys would be better off.
So The Editor isn't necessarily wrong about that.
But Sherrod Brown isn't wrong either, in my view. I've been thinking for some time that requiring very large banks to keep larger reserves would shift business to the next tier of banks, which are large enough to do most of what we need big banks to do, but small enough that they can be allowed to fail.
(Nothing is that simple. What if several mid-level banks go together on a mega-project that's too big for any one of them alone -- & could bring them all down? Is this the same thing in another form? Does Brown's bill address that -- should it? I haven't time to read the bill.)

I wonder who he thanks would pay, if the "too big to fail bank" FAILED??
