The pear orchard on Highway 238 on the left side of the road just before you enter Jacksonville is being taken out. Do you know what will go in its place? We will miss the trees that acted as a sound barrier from the highway.
— Gayle S., Jacksonville
Philip VanBuskirk, regional administrator for the Oregon State University Extension Center, said the orchards are being pulled out because the owner couldn't find anyone to manage them.
The bosc pears grown on the orchard apparently weren't a desirable variety for market, and "no one else wanted to lease it," he said.
VanBuskirk said this was a bad year for fire blight in pear orchards, and orchards that aren't being taken care of have to be removed because insects and other problems can spill over into nearby orchards.
By the way, Gayle, that 50-acre property has been the subject of news stories in the Mail Tribune in the past.
In 2008, the owner of the land, David Young, proposed building a medical spa resort and requested the city expand its boundaries to include the orchard land, zoned exclusive farm use. The city bumped into difficulties with the state, which didn't like the idea of building on agricultural land, so the idea languished.
VanBuskirk said the owners of agriculturally zoned lands can lose their lower property tax status if the acreage is no longer productive as farm land.
He said many owners of exclusive farm use land turn to other farm managers who grow alfalfa or other crops to maintain the favorable tax status.

Hearse needs a funeral after sledgehammer attack ...
Embed CodeSwitch Player
Loading the player ...
On my way to work this morning missed the action but luckily found a video of it on youtube !
Cops arrived about 15min into the festivities.
Halifax police cuffed, questioned and cut loose a man who trashed his
car — a black hearse — in a Halifax parking lot Sunday morning.
The man parked at the Canadian Tire store on Quinpool Road at around 11
a.m. and went inside the store, where he purchased a crowbar and a
sledge hammer.
He then left the store, declining the receipt and saying "when I'm done
with these, no one will want them back," a witness said.
The man then started beating on the black hearse which had a skull and crossbones on its front licence plate.
The bumpers were smashed off, the windows broken and holes punched in
the side of the vehicle. The man was standing on the roof of the vehicle
with the sledge hammer when police arrived.
Sgt. David Publicover of Halifax Regional Police said that as long as
the man cleaned up the debris from the parking lot, police considered
the matter closed because he owned the vehicle and was planning to get
rid of it.
"He had the salvage company on the way for it, so he wanted to get his
licks in before it went," he said. "That's pretty much it. He just
wanted to give it a goodbye, I guess."

Hello all,
Anyone knows if its possible to use different transcoders for different file types? MENCODER is not capable of playing Full HD h.264 MOV (QuickTime container) created by some cameras (Canon in my case). TSMUXER does way better job with these files.
In other words, I would like to keep MENCODER as a first transcoder in the config, but for *.MOV files I prefere to use TSMUXER.
Could it be done? Is it configurable somewhere?
Thank you!

Health Care Reform Passes as Lawmakers Dodge Bullets, Attorneys Play Speed-Lawyering in San Diego, Legit Ways to Work From Home, Michigan Finally Wins Something
You know it's been a tough year for Michigan when hockey could save their sports year! Plus…health care reform passes as lawmakers dodge bullets, speed-lawyering in San Diego Toyota case, legit ways to work from home, and why JUST a facelift might not do the trick!
For Friday March 26, 2010…
4:53- The final piece of health care legislation finally passes in the House. Meanwhile, Dow Jones Newswires' Fawn Johnson says that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are dodging (literal) bullets over it.
9:40- Sarah Palin endorsing John McCain? That's a tad strange.
13:30 – With so many work at home scams, it's hard to believe there are actually legitimate ways to do it. However, our old friend Regina Lewis has found a handful of real ways to make online bucks.
20:33- Lawyers everywhere are salivating at the prospect of representing plaintiffs in the various Toyota suits. That's why WSJ's Dionne Searcey said that yesterday in San Diego, they were willing to subject themselves to a round or two of "speed-lawyering".
24:00- We all know Mike Salvatorelli is aging as gracefully as can be without the benefit of a nip or tuck, but today he reports that if you're looking to subtract a few years from your face, a simple lift might not do the trick.
28:48 – Many are forgetting that the massive health care reform bill also includes a last-minute government takeover of the student loan industry. Dr. Rich Brake of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute is not a fan.
32:23- Michigan (both the state and the University) hasn't seen the best of times recently. WSJ's Darren Everson says that the Wolverines' sports teams have fared so poorly of late that fans in Ann Arbor, who normally would be fired up about March Madness, are setting their sights on an NCAA hockey championship!

Présentation de l'éditeur
Picking up where her modern classic The Bean Trees left off, Barbara Kingsolver's bestselling Pigs in Heaven continues the tale of Turtle and Taylor Greer, a Native American girl and her adoptive mother who have settled in Tucson, Arizona, as they both try to overcome their difficult pasts.
Taking place three years after The Bean Trees, Taylor is now dating a musician named Jax and has officially adopted Turtle. But when a lawyer for the Cherokee Nation begins to investigate the adoption—their new life together begins to crumble.
Depicting the clash between fierce family love and tribal law, poverty and means, abandonment and belonging, Pigs in Heaven is a morally wrenching, gently humorous work of fiction that speaks equally to the head and the heart.
This edition includes a P.S. section with additional insights from Barbara Kingsolver, background material, suggestions for further reading, and more.
Quatrième de couverture
When six-year-old Turtle Greer witnesses a freak accident at the Hoover Dam, her insistence on what she has seen and her mother's belief in her lead to a man's dramatic rescue. But Turtle's moment of celebrity draws her into a conflict of historic proportions. The crisis quickly envelops not only Turtle and her mother, Taylor, but everyone else who touches their lives in a complex web connecting their future with their past.
Pigs in Heaven travels the roads from rural Kentucky and the urban Southwest to Heaven, Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Nation as it draws the reader into a world of heartbreak and redeeming love, testing the boundaries of family and the many separate truths about the ties that bind.

10 Best Cities for Urban Forests: Austin

With 300 days of sunshine a year, an average temperature of 68 degrees, a 10-mile off-road trail in the heart of the city, a three-acre natural spring-fed swimming hole and live bats that draw tourists by emerging at sundown each day from the Congress Street Bridge, it's no surprise that Austin also ranks as one of the 10 best urban forests in the country. While it's aided by its natural environment, Austin's urban forest success is related to its number of comprehensive plans, strong relationships between nonprofits and government agencies and tree ordinances that cover trees on both public and private land.
About 18 percent of Austin is parkland — a whopping 36 acres of park per 1,000 people — and its tree canopy is a diverse, healthy 30 percent with its street trees comprising nearly 100 different species. In 2012, Austin initiated its first Urban Forest Management Plan and will review it on a five-year cycle in hopes of keeping a strong, healthy and abundant urban forest in the years to come.

It was just Ted Leitner, Tim Flannery and producer Dave Marcus. And they were sitting in that order.
Flannery just laughed . . . which was a good attitude to have this week when word of a rift between him and Leitner surfaced on – of all places – their own station, XPRS-AM (The Mighty 1090).
"Nobody's going to take the fun out of this for me," Flannery said when we spoke again yesterday. "Everybody thought I was going to be mad. I just chuckled. I worked with Ted for three years (at KFMB Channel 8) and I've known him forever. If there's a problem, he'll tell me."
That's the thing: There is no problem. Never was, in fact.
"I've been in some controversies," Leitner said yesterday, "but I've never seen one that didn't exist and had legs."
At this point, some background probably is in order. The "controversy" developed after Flannery, who has done a good job as the team's new part-time radio announcer, let out an exuberant "Yeah!" just as Leitner was completing his call of Geoff Blum scoring the winning run in Monday's game. Flannery had done the same thing during a spring training game, at which point Leitner had said, "Don't do Ron Santo" – a reference to the Cubs' cheerleading analyst.
This time, with the broadcast in commercial, Leitner said he turned to Flannery, laughed and said, "Hey, Ronnie."
"I know he doesn't like it. I said I'll never do it again," Flannery said.
"And that was it," Leitner said.
Or so they thought. The next day, the call was replayed on Leitner's afternoon talk show and he said, "Hey, Flan, no more. Don't ever do that again."
Leitner said it was tongue-in-cheek, but the 1090 morning show took the clip and ran with it Wednesday. Maybe the hosts really believed Leitner was criticizing Flannery; maybe they were just trying to drum up some ratings. Whatever the case, it became a hot topic throughout the day.
"I called Flan during my show," Leitner said, "and I said, 'People are telling me I'm mad. Are you upset?' "
Said Flannery: "People went crazy. I know he was kidding. Some people didn't. I guess some people love any chance to take a shot at Leitner."
Added Leitner: "I was teasing. Same as I do with Jerry (Coleman) when I ask him, 'What'd you do today?' and then I come back the next day and talk about it on the show. That's never perceived that I'm picking on Jerry. But all of a sudden I'm mad at Flan and picking on Flan?
"If I was serious, I never would have brought it up on the air."
Flannery said one positive to come out of this was several people felt the need to tell him he was doing a good job.
"I've been looking for feedback, and so many people told me they love what I'm doing," said Flannery, who later told Leitner he wanted to hire him to publicize his next music CD.
"I said one word," Flannery said, still a bit shocked by the whole incident. "Imagine if I said a whole sentence."
"Mark this date, May 29, 2005, as you witness a history-making performance. Fifty years from now you will remember where you were when Danica Patrick made not only motorsports history, but she joined the likes of Amelia Earhardt and Sally Ride in a barrier-breaking performance in this 89th Indianapolis 500."
Amelia Earhardt and Sally Ride!?! Patrick had a good day, but she was driving in a car race (that she didn't even win). Maybe Harris should spend next Memorial Day weekend taking a class in perspective, or at least history.
The Padres this week had their highest TV ratings since the home (and Petco Park) opener in April 2004. That game, against San Francisco, had a 12.3 rating and 19 share. This week the Padres reached double digits for the first time since that day with an 11.0 rating for Tuesday's game, which actually averaged a 12.1 rating from 8:30 to 10 p.m.
The Padres will be featured on a show called "Maximum MLB," which airs at 10 a.m. tomorrow (with a repeat at the same time Sunday) on Spike TV . . . KCEO-AM (1000) will carry the CIF baseball championships starting at noon tomorrow . . . ESPN and ESPN2 are televising every game of the Women's College World Series, which continues through Wednesday . . . The same networks will have college baseball's super regionals next weekend and the College World Series, June 17-27.
Maybe the funniest thing of the week was listening to the NHL spin ESPN's decision not to pick up a $60 million option to renew its TV rights deal. A league spokeswoman told USA Today: "We have no further interest in devaluing that product." What product?
On a serious note, deepest condolences to Ceanne Guerra, a Cox publicist who's always there with invaluable assistance for this column. Her husband, Marty Garcia, was killed Sunday in a hit-and-run accident while bicycling. Cox will establish a college fund for the couple's two young children.

So yeah, from here on out just basically follow the pattern. You'll stop adding stitches when it fits your foot as you like it, gauge isn't that important on this.
I'm using Lion Brand Hometown USA in Santa Fe Tweed and an N hook (I'd try L as in the pattern but don't have one, I skip from K to N).
Maybe we should have a new thread in the Crochet forum?
**By the way, I'm still working with practice yarn, not the actual socks yet!
Okay, I joined it -- that was good advice, I had been getting that part wrong.
And then I did ch 2 and worked in a HDC.
But I don't understand what you mean when you said, "... then 2 in each stitch in the round." 2 of what?
Your instructions are helping, I'm further than I was yesterday!!

Having been hit the hardest by the economic downturn, realty majors are betting big on the Budget 2012 in a bid to revive the sector's fortunes. Experts say the sector needs government support as well as further stimulus to get out of the current slump.
As a first step, experts seek industry status for real estate, since the sector is a major driver for economic growth and generates countless jobs across its various verticals and associated industries. It will also help the sector raise debt from FIs at a much lower rate.

In another sign the economic recovery is stalling, Intel -- whose fortunes are a key barometer of the technology sector's health -- cut its forecast for third-quarter sales Friday, citing "weaker than expected demand for consumer PCs" in some markets.
The Santa Clara company -- the world's biggest chipmaker -- said it now expects revenue for the quarter of $10.8 billion to $11.2 billion, compared with its previous prediction of $11.2 billion to $12 billion.
Despite the announcement, Intel's stock price rose 19 cents, or about 1 percent, to close at $18.37.
The slowdown Intel has experienced is in marked contrast to the first six months of the year.
The Semiconductor Industry Association recently reported that worldwide chip sales for the first half of 2010 hit $144.6 billion, more than 50 percent higher than the same period a year ago. And while that rate of growth is expected to slow in the second half of the year, the association predicted that 2010 sales would wind up being about 28 percent more than in 2009.
Research firm IC Insights also recently estimated that 2010 global chip sales would hit $310 billion, a $72 billion increase from 2009, which the firm said would amount to the biggest jump in annual sales in the industry's history.
But other analysts have expressed concerns. Despite the beginning of the school year and the looming holidays, which traditionally boost sales of personal computers and other gadgets containing chips, these experts have said they fear a sluggish economy in China and Europe could hurt chip sales in the latter half of 2010.
Just last week, analysts at Bernstein Research lowered their financial estimates for Intel and its chief competitor, Advanced Micro Devices of Sunnyvale, due to "weaker-than-expected July notebook shipments from the Taiwanese manufacturers."
In reporting its earnings a week ago, Hewlett-Packard's interim CEO and chief financial officer, Cathie Lesjak, while generally upbeat, acknowledged some "softness" in sales of notebook computers to students returning to school. The week before that, Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers prompted a big sell-off of the company's stock when he said he saw "mixed signals" and "unusual uncertainty" in the tech market.
For more than a year before its announcement Friday, Intel had sounded exceedingly bullish. In May last year, CEO Paul Otellini declared that the recession-driven PC sales slump had "bottomed out." And since then, the company's quarterly financial reports have been stellar, with Intel earning $2.9 billion on sales of $10.8 billion last quarter, its second biggest quarterly profit ever.
In response to Intel's revised forecast, FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger said he believes global demand for electronic gadgets "remains reasonably solid."
But in a note to its clients, brokerage JPMorgan said it foresees "PC demand falling off a cliff" and added that Intel's business could further deteriorate into the fourth quarter. "This is just the first round," the note said. "We expect it to get worse."

What kind of license do I need to sell alcoholic beverages?
If you wish to sell beer or wine, you can apply for a consumption-on-premise license or a package license. There are no restrictions on the number of licenses issued to sell beer and wine. If you wish to sell liquor, a quota license must be purchased from another license holder. These are limited in number throughout the state, based on county population.
What Kind of license do I need?
There are 3 types of licenses that most people in retail will inquire about.
1) Quota – Full Liquor License
These licenses must be purchased/transferred from an existing license holder. The license can be used in a package-liquor store, bar or a restaurant facility that does NOT meet the SRX requirements
2) Full License / SRX Restaurant
SRX Licenses can be applied for directly from the state if you meet a certain criteria, dependent upon the number of seats / square footage of your restaurant. *Must sell at least 51% in food sales
3) Beer and Wine License
These licenses can be applied for directly from the ABT and can be used in either a convenience store, bar, or restaurant setting.
I own a restaurant, and wish to sale alcoholic beverages; what kind of license do I need?
A special (SRX) restaurant alcoholic beverage license can be obtained (if certain requirements are met) at any time, and is an exception to the number of licenses per county restrictions. The SRX license allows you to sell beer, wine, and liquor for consumption on-premises, in connection with a restaurant. However, a restaurant must derive 51% of their revenue from food and non-alcoholic beverages to qualify for this special license. If this percentage cannot be met and maintained, the restaurant would not qualify for the special license and would then be required to obtain a regular (quota)
What is a quota license?
For every increase in the population of a county by 7500 residents, a new
quota license is created. In order to obtain a quota (liquor) license, you must either buy an existing license, or enter the quota drawing to win the right to apply for a quota license. The winner may then apply for the issuance of the new license.

Late Middle English: from late Latin incorporat- 'embodied', from the verb incorporare, from in- 'into' + Latin corporare 'form into a body' (from corpus, corpor- 'body').
corpse from Middle English:
At one time corpses did not have to be dead. Until the early 18th century a corpse (from Latin corpus 'body') could be the living body of a person or animal, as in 'We often see…a fair and beautiful corpse but a foul and ugly mind' (Thomas Walkington, 1607). You would need to specify 'a dead corpse' or some similar expression if you were talking about a dead body. In time, you could simply say 'a corpse' and people would assume that you meant a dead person. The p used to be silent and the final e was rare before the 19th century. In fact, corpse and corps (late 16th century), 'a division of an army' are basically the same word. Latin corpus has given us several words, among them corporation (Late Middle English), corpulent (Late Middle English) or 'fat', corset (Middle English) a 'little body', and incorporate (Late Middle English). A corporal (mid 16th century) is in charge of a 'body' of troops.

Youth football team gets kicked to the curb
| 10/21/2011, 7:59 a.m.
Is Oak Grove Park being retooled for soccer-only league play?
About 150 young boys and another 35 young girls between 5- and 15-years-old have made Oak Grove Park [690 NE 159th Street] their second home and after school haven after getting involved in one of Miami-Dade Countys newest youth football leagues. Now after two years of promoting and building up the program, volunteer coaches and parents find themselves without a home field on which their kids can play. It seems that soccer, another sport that continues to grow in popularity both in the County and across the U.S., has been given the go-ahead for the parks coveted fields, while football is being turned away. The park was in horrible condition and we knew back in March that extensive renovations would have to be completed before our kids could get back on the fields, said Joel Sejour, one of the coaches for the Oak Grove Raiders. But we began training and found other places, like the field adjacent to Holy Family Catholic Church, on which to hold our practices. Since we played a full season last year at Oak Grove and because we had paid the insurance for our players, we believed that once the field was ready in mid-October, that we would be able to get back on the fields there. Then someone from Commissioner Monestimes office told us that we would not be allowed to return the new goal was to make room for soccer. Sejour added that without a home base, he and the rest of the coaches must pack up all of their children and transport them to other fields. The team operates under the non-profit Helping Hands and he believes that both football and soccer can be played on the fields. But he fears that money will run out before the team gets approval. It costs us between $500 and $800 each week to get our kids around even coaches and parents are contributing but our budget cant sustain this much longer, he said. [polldaddy poll=5603647]
Word from the commissioners office
County Commissioner Jean Monestime [District 2] says that he would like the park facilities to be open for activities, including football and soccer, as well as other sports. Im a huge sports fan but we need more parks in District 2, he said. Until that happens, I encourage all of our sports leaders to work with Parks to facilitate the co-utilization of our fields. According to Parks, there had never been any official football program at Oak Grove. I wanted to hear from the team but a meeting I asked for which was scheduled to take place yesterday was canceled at the last minute. I do not pick and chose which sports children should play. My own children play football not soccer I am a huge supporter and have attended several pee wee and super pee wee league games. In an earlier televised report, Monestime stated that the decision to transform the field into a soccer field was made prior to my arrival to the county commission. But former commissioner, Dorrin Rolle, says he made no such decision. I dont recall ever saying that the only sport that could be played at Oak Grove Park was soccer, Rolle said. I actually brought Charlie Brown from Gwen Cherry Park to help start an Optimist Club football league at Oak Grove. And I got them the dollars and cents they needed to make it happen. It was Haitian kids who basically came to my office and said to hell with soccer we want to play football. Its pretty much just a matter of scheduling. Almost all of the children who play there are Haitian and its good for inter-generational bonding. I just dont see how you can stop kids from playing on a public field especially when it involves close to 200 kids. Sejour says he and the other league supervisors hope to meet with Monestime soon. But for now its the children who continue to worry about the future. Their homecoming game is scheduled for October 29th with the playoffs to follow. Where their home will be remains a mystery.

> No that is correct.
Not really.
The correct way to build a shared library is 'gcc -shared' and
'cc -b'.
Unfortunately, older versions of HP 'cc' do not understand the '-b'
flag, and so on HP-UX you have to use 'ld' directly (if your 'cc'
is old).
On all other platforms, linking any user-level code directly with
'ld' is almost always a mistake.
> You *should* also use -fPIC -DPIC compile flags

And when you *link* as well.
On some platforms, 'g++' will generate and complie stub code at
link time.

by Maria arteaga
(Hayward, California )
Hello..well first of all I should start with saying that my name is Maria and I am 21 years old..
I just had a baby 2 and a half months ago.
About a month before giving birth (approximately July) I started to develop some pain in my left arm..the part right above my Wrist. As time went by the pain got worse and started traveling down to my wrist and thumb.
It hurts so bad I can't even do my daily activities.
I ended up going to the emergency room about 3weeks ago due to the fact that I woke up with the same horrible pain in my wrist but this time the bone in my thumb was popping back and forth a few times.
So after waiting 4 long hours in the E.R. the doctor then decide to give me a splint and diagnosed me with tendinitis. The ibuprofen he gave me did nothing for me. I then proceeded on to seeing another doctor. She diagnosed me with tendinitis as well.
I should mention that neither doctors performed an xray on me to rule anything else Out. So 4 months later I still have this horrendous pain and nothing seems to help. I go back to work December 2nd and would love to have some improvement by then because I work in a fast paced restaurant.
Also I must mention that I can't hold a lot of things with my hand such as a plate or my phone.
Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon!
Joshua Answers:
Hello Maria.
Congrats on the new baby.
Bummer on the wrist tendonitis and pain.
Question is, is it really Tendonitis?
I doubt it, but maybe.
See: What Is Tendonitis?
I have a lot to say, but answer these questions first just to make sure my first impression is correct.
1. What have you historically done with your hands? Have you had a hand intensive job? Sports?
2. Did the pain come on fast or slow? Did you do anything that started it?
3. What did the doctors do that had them diagnose you with Tendonitis?
4. Are you the stereotypical 21 year old, as far as exercise and diet? (Meaning, no exercise and crappy but normal american diet?)
5. Overall health?
6. Where do you fall in the weight range? Asking this both for nutritional clues and posture clues.
7. How was the pregnancy, other than the onset of arm/wrist pain?
8. Please describe symptoms in more detail. Numbness when and where? Weakness how and when? Say more about the bone popping thing.
9. Are you very flexible? Can you touch your thumb to your forearm? If you straighten your arm, does it bend past straight?
Answer those and we'll go from there.
Please reply using the comment link below. Do not submit a new submission to answer/reply, it's too hard for me to find where it's supposed to go.
And, comments have a 3,000 character limit so you may have to comment twice.

So I have a GB Small Forest Axe, and while it is an AWESOME tool, I often find myself wishing it were slightly bigger. I would like to stay with Gransfors Bruks as I think anything of lesser quality will make me miss the SFA.
That said, does anyone here have experience with either the Scandinavian Forest Axe or the American Felling Axe? I know the AFA is much bigger, but sometimes you just want to fell a tree, ya know?
From GB website:

Esperanza Rising

Esperanza Rising Perseverance Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Esperanza felt like she had failed Mama in some way and wanted to make it up to her. Mama had been strong for her. Now it was her turn to be strong for Mama. She must show her that she didn't need to worry anymore. (10.24)
Up until this point, Mama has been the strong, determined one. Now Esperanza feels it's her turn to take on the responsibility of leading the family. This is a major turning point for our girl—dare we say it's the climax of the story?
Quote #8
Josefina had told Esperanza that if she was a good worker, the bosses would not concern themselves with her age, so she knew she had to work hard. (10.49)
Remember, Esperanza is only thirteen years old. Thirteen! And her age is yet another obstacle that she has to overcome.
Quote #9
Esperanza thought of Mama in the hospital and Abuelita in Mexico and how much depended on her being able to work. If she was lucky enough to have a job in the spring, no one was going to get in her way. (10.66)
Esperanza's determination to work and accomplish her goal of bringing Abuelita to the United States is fierce. As a result, she's not willing to join the protesters. Do you think she's making the right decision?

Getting Paid to have Fun!
This movie requires Flash Player 9
It was one darn good, productive day doing what I love to do most, take photos. Heck, we even got a little wildlife photography in with a pretty Mule Deer buck. The light had gone for our project but not gone for general photography. The clouds were on their way out of town when I noticed them gathered in the gap between Basket Dome and Half Dome. The photo was a simple click and the finishing done with Silver Efex Pro. Perfect end to a perfect day!

The first time American Roots legendary singer Maria Muldaur heard Memphis Minnie sing was when she was taken under the wings of Houston blues great, singer Victoria Spivey. The 1908-born Spivey met the just-starting-her-career Muldaur, not long after she had formed Spivey Records in 1962. (Bob Dylan was a Spivey accompanist.) Spivey thought Muldaur might be able sing the blazes out of an old Memphis Minnie track, "Tricks Ain't Walking," and she put that 78 on the record player. Spivey knew her singers and for Muldaur, that moment was it. She loved what she heard and immediately added it to her repertoire. Muldaur has remained a life-long fan.
Recently Muldaur, who had a mega hit in 1974 with "Midnight at the Oasis," decided her 40th record was going to be all about Memphis Minnie. Titled "First Came Memphis Minnie," the loving tribute features guest performances by Bonnie Raitt, Rory Block, Ruthie Foster and the late Koko Taylor and Phoebe Snow. The Muldaur record also features the outstanding guitar work of Del Rey, Roy Rogers, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Bob Margolin, David Bromberg, and others.
On Saturday night, Muldaur with her Red Hot Bluesiana Band (Craig Caffall on guitar, Chris Burns on keyboards/bass, and Dave Tucker on drums) is going to deliver a heaping dose of Memphis Minnie at Pacifica Performances. She will also present songs from "Steady Love," her 39th record which highlights, New Orleans' swamp funk music.
"We will also do what I call the 'big three,' " Muldaur said. " 'Midnight at the Oasis,' 'Don't You Feel My Leg,' and 'I'm a Woman.' It's never tedious for me to do these songs. People really enjoy them and as a performer, I really want to uplift with music."
Born and raised in Greenwich Village, New York, Muldaur said there was never a time where music wasn't her passion.
"I had an aunt, my mother's younger sister, and she turned me on to what she called 'cowboy' music, but what we call, early country and Western," Muldaur said. "At age five, I was listening to Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and so many more. The first song I remember singing, while my aunt played the piano, was the Kitty Wells song, 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.' I sang it note for note, much to my mother's dismay!"
Muldaur then got into early blues and R&B.
"I just always loved music and always followed wherever the road went without a big plan," Muldaur said. "It has been what Joseph Campbell called 'follow your bliss.' I have done that always and it has never steered me wrong."
Muldaur and her Red Hot Bluesiana Band, just back from a Memphis Minnie seven-week tour that took them into Canada, the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Minneapolis, the Northeast, down the Atlantic Seaboard, into Florida, Louisiana and Texas, said this tour really seemed to bring out a lot of people who were really touched by their music and told them so.
"People were 'verklempt,' " Muldaur said. "We all noticed it. Even though the economic landscape is a bit bleak, we sold more CDs, and there was a level of individual response that really reminded everybody just how much music means."
Who exactly is this lady whose music Muldaur is absolutely proud to celebrate?
Born in Louisiana in 1897, Memphis Minnie (Lizzie Douglas) started playing banjo when she was seven and guitar around age 11. She would also add the electric guitar, bass and drums to her music credentials. As a blues singer, guitarist and songwriter, she held her own in a blues scene dominated by men. She made her debut record in 1929, and recorded until her health failed her in her mid-50s.
"Memphis Minnie is the history of black women in America," Muldaur said.
"She is someone who emancipated herself from every barrier -- economic, social, and racial -- and she did it all by herself, without a women's movement behind her. She was her own women's movement. She is such an inspiration to women in music and really paved the way for us all."
Muldaur, who began her career in the early 1960s as a member of the Even Dozen Jug Band, which also featured John Sebastian, David Grisman and Stefan Grossman, has a long line of the famous that she has shared her stage and records with. But for her always, it's about the music.
"My music has been about love, lust, romance and seduction," Muldaur said. "I have been the soundtrack to so many unhappy moments in people's lives and have been solace as well. If I was a ballerina my days would have been numbered!"
"Will I ever retire from music?" the six-time Grammy nominee asked. "Hell no! Willie Nelson likes to say, 'I spend half of my time playing music and the other half golfing. What would you rather have me retire from?' I don't play golf, I just do music and I love it."

Electronic Cigarettes are becoming more and more popular as traditional tobacco cigarettes become less accepted in society. NJOY cigarettes are one of the models of e-cigs that are helping to revolutionize how smokers enjoy the habit,albeit a much safer one for all. E-Cigs do not contain the toxins that are found in traditional tobacco.
How Do the NJOY Electronic Cigarettes Work?
NJoy electronic cigarettes are one of the popular electronic cigarette brands on the market. They look,feel,and taste similar to a traditional tobacco cigarette,but do not contain the carcinogens that you find in traditional tobacco smokes. They accomplish this by creating a vapor mist that contains nicotine and tobacco flavoring in order to give you the same feeling as smoking a traditional cigarette without the risks associated with the additives found in tobacco.
How Long Does the NJoy Electronic Cigarette Battery Last?
The NJoy e-cig's battery will normally last approximately three days before needing to be recharged. For heavy smokers,the battery could be run down in as little as one day. When the NJoy battery starts to run low on charge an indicator light will blink rapidly when its ready to be recharged. Regular smokers of NJoy are recommended to carry an additional battery with their travel kit just in case.
What Flavors of E-Cig Cartridge Are Available with NJOY?
NJoy electronic cigarettes come in several different flavors to include:Apple,Menthol,Strawberry,Tobacco,and Vanilla. The nicotine strength for their cartridges varies from regular (at 18 mg nicotine) to Zero when you are choosing what strength of nicotine you desire for your NJoy electronic cigarette.
Do You Save Money with NJoy Electronic Cigarettes?
As with most electronic cigarette brands,you will pay a little more up-front to get started with the NJoy electronic cigarette,but on average if you smoke a pack a day,you will save approximately $1,100 per year if shifting to NJoy e-cigs. This assumes that you will spend about $2,100 a year on traditional tobacco smokes with the equivalent amount of NJoy e-cigs costing you about $1,000 USD.
NJoy Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit
The NJoy Electronic cigarette starter kit is the NCIG kit. The NCig starter kit is what is called a "Pen"styled kit and is a little longer than NJoy's NPRO kit. When you buy their starter kit you get:
1 –NJoy electronic cigarette (white color)
4 –4 Refill cartridges (each is equivalent to 1.5 packs of traditional tobacco)
2 –3.6 V rechargeable lithium batteries
1 –Battery charger
NJoy Electronic Cigar
For the cigar lover,NJoy also carries an electronic cigar. The cigar starter kit is similar to their e-cig kit,but it looks just like a traditional cigar. When you buy NJoy's e-cigar you get:
1 –NJoy Cigar
2 –Medium strength refill cartridges
2 –3.6V rechargeable lithium batteries
1 –Battery charger
2 –Protective tip covers

San Marcos High School's four choirs sang 136 songs Friday as part of a fundraiser.
It started at 12 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. Similar to a school jog-a-thon, they ask for a flat pledge or pledge per song.
The high school's goal is to take its groups to choir festivals in the Spring.
Last year they raised $11,000 at this one event. No word yet how much money was raised at Friday's event.

Guided by an evolutionary model of allostatic load, this study examined the hypothesis that the association between interparental aggression and subsequent changes in children's cortisol reactivity to interparental conflict is moderated by their temperamental dispositions. Participants of the multimethod, longitudinal study included 201 2-year-old toddlers and their mothers. These children experienced elevated levels of aggression between parents. Consistent with the theory, the results indicated that interparental aggression predicted greater cortisol reactivity over a 1-year period for children who exhibited high levels of temperamental inhibition and vigilance. Conversely, for children with bold, aggressive temperamental characteristics, interparental aggression was marginally associated with diminished cortisol reactivity. Further underscoring its implications for allostatic load, increasing cortisol reactivity over the one year span was related to concomitant increases in internalizing symptoms but decreases in attention and hyperactivity difficulties. In supporting the evolutionary conceptualization, these results further supported the relative developmental advantages and costs associated with escalating and dampened cortisol reactivity to interparental conflict.

The Surprisingly Large Contribution of Small Marine Clouds to Cloud Fraction and Reflectance

Oreopoulos, L., NASA
Clouds with Low Optical [Water] Depths (CLOWD)
Cloud Properties
Koren, I, L Oreopoulos, G Feingold, LA Remer, and O Altaratz. 2008. "How small is a small cloud?" Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Journal, in press
Clouds and aerosols are li
Our paper studies these effects for shallow cumulus cloud fields over the tropical oceans where they often cover large areas. We have at our disposal data from the enhanced thematic mapper plus (ETM+) radiometer aboard the Landsat-7 satellite, which has a resolution of 30 m. Because the ocean surface offers a good dark backdrop, at this resolution we can detect most, but still not all, of these clouds. We find some interesting results. For five fields of shallow marine cumulus clouds, sampled from different geographic locations, we find that the largest number of clouds corresponds to the smallest clouds we can detect with ETM+. Because these clouds are so numerous they also contribute the largest fraction of the total solar radiation reflected by the entire cloud field, even though each individual cloud's reflectance is rather small. Estimates of the apparent cloud contribution to total reflected radiation that MODIS would give, are half of those at the original resolution (because of dilution of clear skies in our larger pixels that are still however reflective enough to be classified as cloudy). In contrast, the reflectance that comes from apparent cloud-free areas at MODIS resolution appears 25% larger than it actually is (because of cloud contamination in larger pixels that are classified as cloudless).
The importance of the above errors due to instrument resolution artifacts are obvious. When the larger reflectance from apparent cloud-free areas is attributed to aerosol, we reach wrong conclusions about the direct radiative forcing of aerosol in the present climate. Our estimate of the 24-hour forcing error is -0.8±0.2 W/m2 per cloud field, or about 15% to 20% of the total global aerosol effect estimated from MODIS aerosol retrievals. While this may not seem significant if only local, the fact that shallow cumulus cloud fields cover ~ 15% of the global oceans, makes it so.

Creation Science Movement
Who we are
Contact us
The Creation Science Movement is the oldest creationist movement in the world. Founded in 1932 as "The Evolution Protest Movement" by a small group of Christians concerned by the propaganda that was promoting the theory of evolution as if scientifically proven, it has grown in strength over the years.
CSM subscribers receive our journal and a new pamphlet every other month.
Membership is open to all faiths.
The Creation Science Movement started in 1932 protesting about the influence of Darwin's theory of evolution; in fact it was called the Evolution Protest Movement in those days.
The prime movers were Mr. Douglas Dewar, barrister and Auditor General of the Indian Civil Service, and Captain Bernard Acworth, DSO who developed the asdic sonar device (Who's Who). They called the first Creationist meeting (EPM) at 21 Essex Gardens, The Strand, London, in 1932. The first public meeting was reported in The Times on February 12, 1935. Sir Ambrose Fleming presided and what he said then still stands for what the Creation Science Movement believes in today. He declared that
'of late years the Darwinian anthropology had been forced on public attention by numerous books in such a fashion as to create a belief that it was a certainly settled scientific truth. The fact that many eminent naturalists did not agree that Darwin's theory of species production had been sufficiently established as a truth was generally repressed. If there had been no creation, there was no need to assume any Creator; the chief basis for all religion was taken away and morality reduced to mere human expediency. It had seemed to a large number of thoughtful persons that it was of national importance to counteract the effects of reckless and indiscriminate popularisation of the theory of the wholly animal origin of mankind, especially among the young, by the diffusion of a truly scientificcause for all those altruistic, aesthetic, intellectual, spiritual and religious faculties in man, of which not the very slightest trace was seen in the animal species... they desired to oppose a one-sided materialistic presentation of human origin which rejected altogether any suggestion of creation. They said that the arguments of the Darwinian anthropologists were defective in logic and did not give the proof they assumed.'
This was reported over half a century ago! Today society witnesses to the effect of atheistic humanism which belief in the theory of evolution has brought--fragmented family units, abortion, child abuse etc. In fact in all these intervening years the evidence has mounted up arguing that of course a Creator must have made this planet Earth and the heavens. There is a wealth of further scientific evidence supporting Creation which these eminent men in the early 1930s did not then know. Advances in our knowledge of genetics, biochemistry and information theory are just some areas where progress in the last sixty years has made belief in evolution even less logical.
The sense of high purpose expressed in The Times account is still what motivates CSM today. We are concerned that people today are rarely confronted with a straight-forward reading of the Bible starting at Genesis chapter one. In fact most people have been told that they cannot trust the beginning of God's Word. They rehearse Satan's own words, 'Hath God said?'. CSM declares that the doctrine of original sin is not based on myth or fable but rather on the solid foundation of the 'lively oracles' of the Lord God. A blurring of this truth affects the wonder of the Atonement by the peerless Son of God which in turn can lead to a shallow commitment to Him. CSM ringingly declares that the beginning of God's Word may be trusted as well as all that follows.
What else does CSM do? A pamphlet on different subjects giving evidence of Creation is published every other month together with the Creation Journal which carries up-to-the-minute news and comment. These pamphlets form an information resource on the Creation/evolution issue. One of our pamphlets shows how Creation is the foundation of the Gospel (249) while others trace Creation in Genesis (260) and Isaiah (243). Others are critical of aspects of evolution theory such as alleged vestigial organs (258) and supposed intermediate forms such as Archaeopteryx (76) and ape-men (151, 234). Many pamphlets consider particular creatures and show how they could not possibly have evolved. These include whales (114) where the design of the mouth of the young whale fitting into the mother enables it to be suckled while at sea. The Bombardier Beetle (233) had to have a perfectly functioning explosive defence or it would have blown itself up! The Palisade moth (248), birds' feathers (255), bats' sonar systems (247), the bee's informative dance (264), and butterflies' metamorphoses (257) could not have evolved. Other pamphlets consider the so-called chemical evolution of life (267). Evidence is cited that the universe is only thousands of years old (265). Measurements of salinity of the oceans (221) show they are young. The eruption of Mount St. Helens (252) in 1980 produced sediments which evolutionary geologists would normally interpret as taking very long periods f time to form. Three distinct lines of experimental evidence from scientists of repute in Australia, America and Russia strongly suggest that the speed at which light travels has diminished with time (262, 256). This affects the radiometric dating of rocks (207) and the time taken for light to reach us from distant galaxies. It indicates that the universe is less than 10,000 years old. Scientific observations support the genealogies (219) in the Bible, a book of amazingly accurate science (254), that life was created and did not evolve and that Adam was created in the beginning.
CSM provides able speakers on Creation who major on the scientific evidence which is increasingly weighty. Today many eminent scientists who do not even argue from the Christian standpoint, find this evidence against the theory of evolution sufficient to convince them that there is no evolution at all.
This evidence is ignored in school textbooks and TV nature programmes. CSM lecturers regularly address universities, colleges, sixth forms and Church groups throughout the UK. In the 1960s our Creationist speakers toured the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and North America, while in the 1990s we are beginning to meet the need in Eastern Europe.
CSM has charitable status (Charity no: 801745). We are members of the Evangelical Alliance. May we admit that we need you as a member? The hard-nosed humanism of evolutionism has become entrenched in the British educational system and in society at large. We need your dedicated support to topple it! Your subscription will help; and if you could arrange a meeting as well, even better!
At heart CSM wishes to give glory to the Lord Jesus Christ who created man in the image of the Triune God and then stooped to redeem us.

Meet Hazel and Betsey♥
A few years ago I got the idea to start a children's clothing line. It was such a fun creative outlet and more hard work than I ever imagined. I loved the brand that I built and my customers and adored the opportunity that it gave me to work more on another love of mine, photography. Soon a decision had to be made as I found myself pulled in a million different directions. Something had to give. I decided to… Read more »
