Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Bruce McElmurray
Remote living and coping with remote living, Bruce McElmurray
Let's face it remote living is clearly not for everyone. For those who choose to live like we do maybe our experience will help you. For those who don't live in a remote area or may just be considering doing so, maybe it will help you decide if you want to attempt it or not. Having such conveniences as getting a newspaper, mail or packages delivered to your door and other amenities are not part of remote living. When we first moved to our current location we were fully aware that we were going to have a substantial drive from those provisions we were used to having easy access to. Like veterinary care, medical care, pharmacy services and all the shopping amenities. When I need a tractor part the co-op is 75 miles one way. Medical care is 45 miles assuming weather will permit travel off the mountain. For a small city we are fortunate to have quality medical facilities and providers. Dental care, 42 miles one way. Groceries, we purchase many of our groceries from Ft. Garland which is only 18 miles one way. We also make occasional trips to Pueblo where we can buy in bulk. Hardware is only 18 miles to a very well stocked store. Living as we do can be daunting when you consider the distances we have to drive for certain basic needs. Our alternative is that we shop on line and only have to drive 8 miles to the entrance of our community where a drop box is located to retrieve our packages. Those ads that used to be on TV showing UPS and Fed Ex delivering to remote locations is not true in our case. They once did that but in the winter driving a two wheel drive panel truck up and down the side of a mountain can be an exciting trip for their drivers. Their screams were pitiful and most amusement parks don't have fun rides like that so we pick packages up 8 miles away. There are some amenities that you will clearly not have access to when you live remote. If you expect to have them close at hand living remote is probably not for you. Paving winding roads, building malls, and having those things you would normally find in a city are not realistically in the budget of a landowners association. So if you plan to bring your city amenities with you it is probably good to rethink why you are moving remote in the first place and you may want to stay where you are and avoid disappointment. That makes it important to follow the Boy Scout motto of always being prepared. That means you have to think ahead and anticipate emergency situations and needs. We maintain a well stocked emergency kit for ourselves and our dogs. We have emergency responders that are only a few miles away, thanks to the forward thinking of some in our community. We are not without basic survival means, but when you live remote if you have health problems and need quick access to medical facilities you might want to rethink that lifestyle. Trees can fall across roads, snow drifts across the roads, spring mud can make two wheel drive very difficult therefore access can sometimes be limited. We maintain a postal box in Ft. Garland. The post mistress will hold our mail until we can get in to retrieve it. Our roads are plowed but in the winter there are winds which can drift the roads in right behind the snow plowing equipment. Most of the time you can get out without problem but not always and those are the times you need to be patient and properly prepared. When we make a trip to Alamosa we usually have multiple stops and a well prepared list of purchases. We may make that trip every two weeks. Life is full of choices and the more information you can accumulate before hand. the better those choices will be. If you are a person who is in poor health or expect a service person to show up the same day you will be seriously disappointed. You need to plan ahead, stay well stocked in basics, and be able to adjust quickly to changing situations. We sometimes get 3-4' snow storms that can strand you for a few days. If we had an emergency there is help available just like most places, but if you have a non emergency you need to be patient and sometimes wait it out. So if you are considering living remote I hope the above information is some benefit to you, and if it is not that appealing to live remote, then maybe it will reaffirm you conviction to stay where you are.

AIDS Anthology Reveals Another India
At every International AIDS Conference, set apart from the meeting halls where science and politics battle, there's a place called the Global Village.
It's a fleeting community where HIV-positive people and their advocates create a week-long DMZ free of stigma. The vibe is equal parts cultural exhibition and carnival sideshow. Giant strolling condoms are perennial mascots.
The village in Mexico City this year also featured a literary lounge where visitors could hear readings from the book: "AIDS Sutra: Untold Stories from India." The pungent chili-colored hardcover I reviewed contains 16 pieces– essays, stories and poetry – by contributors including Salman Rushdie, Kiran Desai and Vikram Seth.
There's an introduction by Bill and Melinda Gates, whose foundation-funded Avahan India AIDS Initiative organized the book. It's being published by Random House. Proceeds from the book will go to a fund to support children affected by the epidemic.
A foreword by Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen tries to make sense of the vast and shifting estimates of AIDS' impact on the world and India. He tartly observes the CIA's wildly off base National Intelligence Estimate of 20 million cases of AIDS in India by 2010 "showed how easily an organization dedicated to intelligence can fail to give much evidence of it." The UN's 5 million estimate for HIV/AIDS in India was halved last year to between 2 and 3 million, he adds.
The writers here offset the numbing anonymity of numbers with portraits of stunning particularity. In Nikita Lalwani's "Mister X Versus Hospital Y," we meet Toku, a quiet physician who cares for AIDS patients and went to court to fight for the right to confidentiality of HIV test results — his own.
In "Love in the Time of Positives," Nalini Jones introduces Jayanthi, a young woman who was rushed into an arranged marriage with an older tractor driver who left her an HIV-positive widow. Jayanthi and her peers talk about courtship, remarriage and family with the virus as a permanent houseguest.
In "The Half-Woman God," Salman Rushdie educates us about the hijras, India's gender-bending demi-deities who offer blessings at family celebrations and blend ancient tradition with 21st Century risk.
Vikram Seth, author of "A Suitable Boy," contributed a poem as time capsule of AIDS in the 1980s called "Soon." The speaker isn't Seth, he stresses in an accompanying essay, noting he'd been relatively chaste, tested negative, and observant of safe behavior ever since. Seth's patient, tethered by tubes to a metal hospital bed, considers his imminent death by HIV. Like Thom Gunn's "The Man With Night Sweats," Mr. Seth couples love and grief in the era before effective treatment.
Now in India, as elsewhere, there is better testing, medical treatment, and a vibrant prevention movement that treats people not as passive recipients of care but as participants in it.
The writing in the anthology is by turns tortured and beautiful as writers show us the people behind stereotypes.
Author Sonia Faleiro, told me in an interview that she worked months to report and write her harrowing story "Maarne Ka, Bhagane Ka," ("Beat them, kick them out"), profiling Savita, a streetwalker bludgeoned by railway police for distributing protection to her coworkers in the trade that gives them "frail armour against destitution."
This is a world I glimpsed in 2004 when I reported a story from Delhi and Mysore truck stops and brothel-based clinics opened by the Gates Foundation. I didn't meet Savita but her sister in the trade, Prathima, who was sold into the life by a dishonest job broker. From living on a sidewalk, she raised herself to become a community leader. Under a saffron sunset, I accompanied her team inviting women soliciting on street corners to the clinic.
In "AIDS Sutra," I took a refresher course in the lessons she taught.

by Jane Austen
Emma Theme of Society and Class
Class structures are the most obvious –and most important – differences between characters in Emma. The rich control social situations, the social climbers attempt to seem rich and important, and the poor are at the mercy of the rich. Although Austen's novel turns on Emma's attempts to raise her friend out of social oblivion, the narrator mocks any and all attempts to change the social hierarchy. Manners mean everything, and those who weren't born with good breeding just can't measure up to those who are.
Questions About Society and Class
- When Emma learns of Harriet's engagement, our narrator tells us that she can't imagine it (that's a first, huh)? Why do you think this is?
- We argued that Austen ends the novel with Mrs. Elton's opinion of Emma and Mr. Knightley's wedding because she always emphasizes various character's responses to events in the plot. Some critics, however, suggest that Austen can't figure out how to write a love scene. What do you think?
- Is Miss Bates actually respectable? Is Mr. Woodhouse? What determines respectability?
- To what extent do good manners determine social standing? What other factors influence social status?
Chew on This
An ironic tone allows Austen's narrator to fully explain the workings of a trivial social system as if it were the center of the world – a move which eventually places readers in the position of valuing the very system Austen critiques.
Austen's novel implicitly endorses the class system which it overtly critiques.

Senate moves ahead on gay rights bill
Possible passage of Employment Non-Discrimination Act could happen by week's end
The Senate is moving forward on the first major bill barring workplace discrimination against gays in nearly two decades as Americans' shifting views about homosexuality have significantly changed the political dynamic.
Seven Republicans and 54 Democrats stood together Monday and cleared the bill past its first hurdle on a 61-30 procedural vote, setting the stage for debate on Tuesday and possible passage by week's end. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would prohibit employment discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
The legislation is the first significant gay rights bill since Congress ended the ban on gays serving openly in the military in 2010. It faces strong opposition in the House, with Republican Speaker John Boehner of Ohio rejecting the measure.

I have never completely understood the whole video game phenomenon ... more specifically, the fascination young people have for them. And make no mistake--young people are most certainly fascinated by those realistic-looking videos that they seem to be able to play for hours on end.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I was every bit the video guy back in the early '70s when Atari came out with Pong, that most difficult game of all (even if I did have to stay on the slowest level to be competitive). And I was quite the Pac-Man fan in the '80s.
Still, this new brand of video games has pretty much left me behind, even though I have been buying them for my boys for the better part of the last 30 years.
But for those parents who, like me, have been feeding your kids' video game habits for oh, so many years, here's a bit of advice: never, never ever, play a video game with your child unless you're prepared to be beaten into total oblivion.
I made that mistake way back when the oldest was just about 14.
"Hey, Dad, wanna play a game?" he asked with that certain childlike innocence I could never say no to. "It's John Madden Football."
Well, I was always that kind of father who wanted to spend quality time with his kids, doing the things they like to do--especially when it had anything to do with sports. And this was football, so it sounded like a lot of fun. Little did I know.
"Sure," I agreed "But I have to warn you, I'm pretty good when it comes to football."
"Well, just promise not to beat me too bad, OK?" he said. (Had I not been so sure of myself, I would have noticed the sarcasm dripping from his words.)
"Oh, I won't," I promised as I fell deeper into his trap. "But you know, I played a little ball in high school. Did I ever tell you about the time ... "
"Yeah, I'm sure you did," he interrupted. "What team do you want to be?"
"Oh, uh, I suppose I'll just take those world champion San Francisco 49ers!" I shouted. "Who do you want? The Broncos?" (A logical question, since it was not long after the 49ers had crushed Denver in Super Bowl XXIV.)
"No, I'll take the Chicago Bears," he said. "You kick off."
This poor kid. Doesn't he know that the Niners will kill the Bears? That the Bears aren't even in the same class as the 49ers? That Bears couldn't ...
"Touchdown, Bears!" hailed a voice that sounded vaguely like the computer version of John Madden.
"What happened?" I asked in astonishment.
"The Bears ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown," he said. "Your turn to receive."
I was starting to worry a little, but then my guys returned the kickoff to the 25 and Joe Montana threw to Jerry Rice for a first down.
"Hey this game's not so ... " Then John Madden's voice interrupted me again.
"Interception! Touchdown, Bears!"
"That's impossible," I screamed. "The Bears could never intercept Montana!"
"Well, they just did," he said calmly. "Here comes another kickoff."
He was only 14 at the time. Now he's 36 (and the recent recipient of Madden 13 for his most recent birthday). And the record he set that day most likely still stands as the most lopsided score ever recorded in that old version of John Madden Football. He killed me 104-0, and it would have been worse had he not toyed with me for most of the fourth quarter and then missed that 74-yard field goal on the last play of the game.
It's not that kids just love these games, they're so darn good at them, especially when they're playing one of their parents.
I suppose my lack of understanding stems from the fact that we never had such games when we were kids. Our closet was filled with board games like Monopoly, Clue and Life--games that made no noise and weren't very flashy. We did have one game that made a little noise. It was called Operation, and the object was to reach into this cardboard patient with a pair of tweezers wired to a couple of "D" batteries and try not to hit the metal strips around the body cavity. If you did, the light would flash and the buzzer would buzz. It was actually pretty exciting ... until the batteries died and we never replaced them.
Of course, it was nothing like a video game. In fact, we didn't have anything like a video game until Pong came along. You remember, that game where the white dot would slowly move across the black screen and we'd use our controllers to manipulate the paddle so that we could knock it back across the screen. Never heard of Pong? Well, you can see one on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View (and admission is free Nov. 17-18 for residents of Los Gatos and Saratoga).
And if you look closely enough, you just might find that 1990 version of John Madden Football--with the record-setting 104-0 Bears' win over the 49ers still on the screen!

The Harrison Council for the Arts transformed the municipal building into a student art gallery to kick-off Youth Arts Month.
On March 2, Harrison students like Michael Barletta, a seventh grader at Louis M. Klein Middle School, stood proudly by their artwork before touring the halls to appreciate other students' work.
Barletta, whose shoe sketch hung on the top floor of the Alfred P. Sulla Municipal Building, said he received a letter inviting him to the arts exhibit but he didn't realize what it was for.
"I got this invite and wasn't sure what it was for, but when I came here and saw my drawing, I was like, wow, this is really cool," Barletta said.
John Grozinger, a former president of the Harrison Council for the Arts before his wife took over the reins, said the students should be proud of the work that's hanging up.
"Not all the students' works get picked," Grozinger said. "So it's a big deal for these kids."
After 34 years of this annual event, Doreen Groziner, the president of the Harrison Council for the Arts, said it's almost on autopilot now. She said the teachers keep this event in mind throughout the school year and earmark certain works to be displayed.
Harrison Avenue School's art teacher Christine Vitarello said she remembers when her artwork was chosen when she was in the fifth grade and how that recognition began to mold her love for the arts.
"I was in fifth grade when my artwork was chosen to be hung up for the first time, and that's something I'll never forget," Vitarello said. "That's part of why I became an art teacher. It's a real achievement to have your work hung up in here, and this is really what art is about."
Vitarello said she joined up with Purchase art teacher Sarah Palefsky this year to complete a family portraits project in which each student drew their own family portraits.
One of Vitarello's Harrison Avenue students was third grader Rachel McGovern, who proudly stood by her work and told the Harrison Review that she had a lot of fun making the family portrait.
Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont examined the students' artwork and said these kinds of events bolster the town's morale.
"It's a really wonderful event," Belmont said. "It's a Sunday afternoon and moms and grandpas are out. One grandpa told me he came all the way from Manhattan to see his grandchild's work. It's a great day for the town."
The works will continue to hang in the municipal building for the remainder of the month. Grozinger said three or four pieces that are selected by the mayor are framed and included in the permanent art collection.

There were some awkward moments for NBC announcers Hoda Kotb and Al Roker, hosts of the 125th annual Tournament of Roses Parade.
When the much-hyped "The Voice's" float appears with Season 5 winner Tessanne Chin, things seem to go haywire.
Instead of singing, Chin and other finalists Jacquie Lee and Will Champlin wait patiently for the music to begin, waving awkwardly to the crowd. Kotb and Roker are also forced to "ad lib" to kill what seemed like a lifetime of air space, even laughing at themselves at one point. Finally around the 5:30 mark of the video, the music begins -- much to the relief of all involved.

Hey there people , i was wondering if this is a thing that is planned to be implemented in the game, or if it isnt can you atleast get it into a possible later on implementation? Since this is a really nice bonus to the overall feel of the gameplay not just for me i guess , but for alot of people.
Cheers and keep up the really nice work GGG ;)

In light of the Toyota's recalls surrounding unintended acceleration, several automakers are looking to install brake override software on cars equipped with electronic throttle systems (ETS). General Motors announced it intends to apply the algorithm globally by 2012.
Although GM's engineering staffs have required all vehicles to stop within a certain distance even if the gas pedal is floored, the company has started adding brake override software on ETS-equipped cars as an additional safeguard. The software automatically kills electronic throttle input once the driver steps on the brake, preventing the chance of unintended acceleration.
"New media analyses of government data consistently validates that GM's safety record on this issue is among the strongest in the industry," said Tom Stephens, vice chairman of GM's global product operations. "At the same time, we know safety is top of mind for consumers, so we are applying additional technology to reassure them that they can count on the brakes in their GM vehicle."
GM says that by the end of 2012, all of its vehicles sold around the world equipped with automatic transmissions and electronic throttle control will also be equipped with a brake override system.

If you have an appreciation like I do for menswear, then being around an individual like Allen will definitely take it to a new level. In menswear nothing is too little to ignore (look at me sounding all knowing), from color code to proportions, it almost makes it seem very stiff and very "rule" centered from a distance but if you look closely it's all nothing but art if you ask me. I have come to appreciate the little big things about menswear so much that it has found its way into my personal wardrobe. _ Dita
People don't take casual Friday too seriously form what I have observed. The license to dress down obviously got taken too seriously by some. It's refreshing to get out of the stiff working wardrobe and show up to work in something more relaxed but still sharp enough to kick ass and take names at the office.
After meeting the creative director of the newbie fashion house Tuedor & Wright backstage at the recently held Ghana fashion week, she was kind enough to bless us with our favorite piece from her latest collection. The lace t-shirt was an immediate favorite, the graphic print makes it very hard not to love this effort from Tuedor and Wright. The brand is working on a menswear edition which is scheduled to launch soon, until then I have to control my envy whenever Dita struts around in hers.
In my opinion I think DITA is one of the best dressed women online; I say that because first of all she is my girlfriend and the fact that she has an uncanny ability to channel both women and menswear with impeccable execution makes it hard to ignore my claim. Dita seems to have a multiple personality syndrome when it comes to her wardrobe, that's the only way I can explain her ability to command her ''girly'' clothes and still manage to channel menswear better than most men I know.
I feel very blessed to have someone whose style syncs with mine so effortlessly , too often me and Dita find ourselves in love with similar pieces which I totally blame on her love for menswear inspired clothing and fit. On the day of the festival, an oxford shirt and a pair of shorts seemed like the perfect easy-go outfit for the sunny afternoon, guess who showed up thinking the same.
On me: shirt by Ralph Lauren, shorts by dickies, shoes by Johnston & Murphy , tote bag by coach , vintage sunglasses // On Dita : shirt by Ralph Lauren , thrifted shorts, shoes by lorenzo banfi , sunglasses by blossom and Wednesday vintage exclusive.

Many "home business" type programs require you to buy supplies … risk loads of money on advertising … and more. How ironic is that?
The reason you're looking to make extra money is because you need more of it! Not because you have a bunch of extra cash laying around to spend. Right?!
These are the reasons I've always hesitated to share my primary money-making system with others. My paycheck is proof my strategies work, but I know most people don't have the time or resources to make money the way I do.
And that's ALWAYS a recipe for failure – so I vowed never to produce a "how to make money on the Internet" product for the Average Joe.
But as it turned out, I've had to eat my words.
I just had no idea I'd stumble on another stupidly simple way to make money online. Or that it would turn out to be the perfect system for the Average Joe!
Here's the skinny on "Project Payday"…
You don't have to invest or risk a bunch of money – You can be up and running literally in a matter of hours …
You can do it whenever you want with no "responsibilities" – Unlike anything else I've seen, you can make money the first day.
We can't help you "get rich", but we CAN show you how to make enough extra cash to make a very big difference in your finances, month after month.
The sweet spot with "Project Payday" is the $200 to $2,500 a month range. And you can make that kind of extra income in your first 30 days.
Most people top out around $2,500 in a month. You could make more or less. Either way, this is real spendable cash – not some pie-in-the-sky dream.
There's something else you should know – You don't need to have or learn any special skills to make 'Project Payday' work for you. The Project Payday Training Guide will teach you everything you need to know in the next 2 hours.
Can you point and click? – Type in a web address? – Follow simple step-by-step instructions?
Then you too have what it takes!
Project Payday is completely unlike any other "make money online" system you've seen – because NO other "ebook" or course talks about the simple concept we recently stumbled on and have since perfected.
It's based on one of the hottest trends on the Internet. It's something that millions of people eagerly use the Internet for every day.
Unlike any other system for making money online, where you ultimately have to convince people to buy "stuff" – Project Payday is the complete opposite.
With Project Payday you'll be getting paid for doing something that's just stupidly simple.
You can make your first profits In less than 2 hours!
There's an entire section in the "Project Payday Training Guide" that shows you, step-by-step, exactly what to do to start making money TODAY.
With Project Payday you're in complete control. You decide how often you want to work, when to do it, and how much money you want to make.
Most "work from home" programs, if they even work at all, don't have any of these qualities … and they still cost a small fortune to get started.
On the other hand, you can start making money with 'Project Payday', right now, at ZERO cost to you…
Project Payday from Monika St. John is one of the only websites I know of where you can actually start making money right away.
Once you register, "Project Payday" teaches you how to make $200 to $2,500+ per month working from home.
Project Payday is sort of like a normal job. You show up, (log in) you do the simple work, you get paid. It's just that simple.
It's not dependent on a bunch of stuff you can't control like most of the other online jobs out there.
What was I able to do with Project Payday? I Made $425 working just a couple hours each day in my first 3 days of testing this out for myself.
I've had many people email me to let me know that they are now making very good money with Project Payday.
I highly recommend "Project Payday".
Thanks for reading…

FOOD; Construction Projects
By Jonathan Reynolds
Published: June 15, 2003
Man, you can't swing a dead endangered species in this town without hitting a panini sign, and you can't swing two without hitting a panino itself. I half expect a placard to go up outside Alain Ducasse, ''Panini Served Here,'' though surely the owner would not accompany it with the usual ''Eurosandwich'' by way of explanation.
For the information of anyone under house arrest for the past six months, a panino is a sandwich of Italian origin made by lumping or spreading a filling between two slices of bread that are then grilled in a hot, grooved electric press till crunchy. What gives them their unique appeal is the contrast in textures -- the serious snap of their grilled sheath with the soft, gooey insides. (Cheese is ubiquitous.) They range from the simple grilled American cheese classic to such elaborate concoctions as bresaola, asparagus and pecorino. The bread of choice is a ciabatta, but technically any kind may be used, and there are plenty of establishments in New York that utilize hero rolls or focaccia without a summons from the sandwich police.
The definition of sandwich has become so liberal over the centuries that its mythic inventor, John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, might not recognize its hundreds of varieties. The earl, you will recall, was said to be so glued to his gambling table sometime in the 18th century that he had a slab of meat stuffed between two pieces of bread for his dinner and didn't interrupt the game. This caught on like a bad epidemic. Dagwoods, subs, clubs, Reubens and butties are common enough here or in England, but every nation probably has some form of it, from stacked and stuffed tortillas and crepes to endangered cookies (consider the recent California lawsuit against Oreos). But if the definition requires something between two pieces of starch, what's to be made of the open-faced sandwich? Is the term oxymoronic or just moronic? (Two or three human beings can be sandwiched together, but what comes to mind when two or three humans are open-faced-sandwiched together?) And what is bruschetta but a small sandwich without a hat?
Most descendants of the earl's invention haven't evolved as a result of serious study; a significant appeal of sandwichery is that it allows -- almost demands -- informality and spontaneity. You don't have to look your best to eat one, and you don't have to spend hours or even minutes in the kitchen putting one together. Dress unshaved in PJ's for PB & J's, in shorts for your German Johnson tomato with mayo. Who wants to complicate things with a highfalutin recipe?
Well, hold on.
At 'Ino on Bedford Street, Jason Denton, a co-owner (with his wife, Jennifer), has thought long and hard about the panino and come up with a state-of-the-art design that might warrant a Ph.D. ''First, you must have superior ingredients,'' says Denton, who is also a partner in Lupa and Otto. ''I use Italian canned tuna for our Tuna With Black-Olive Pesto, and Gaeta olives, stemless caper berries instead of capers in jars because of their texture and always, always extra-virgin olive oil.'' He gets his delicious ciabatta from the Blue Ribbon Bakery and Café down the street, with its 140-year-old wood-burning oven. ''I wanted a sandwich that has contrasting textures but isn't so crispy that it cuts the roof of your mouth. So they underbake the ciabatta for me.'' The panini press finishes the cooking, resulting in a crust that has resistance but won't draw blood.
About the curious name: the suffix ''ino'' in Italian means ''little,'' as in bambino (little baby), casaino (little house) and Pacino (little Al). And indeed, 'Ino is not only the name but also the size of the restaurant: you could fit 200 people in it, but they would all have to be clones of Mini-Me. With Denton's blessing, you can make panini at home using the George Foreman grill, which is essentially a smaller, less expensive panini press.
One of my objections to most current sandwiches is the overuse of bread. When designer loaving hit the beach two decades or so ago and our choices were no longer limited to white, whole wheat and rye but encompassed crunches and seeds and nuts and marblings and exotic flours like graham and potato, stone-ground this and hand-milled that, a sandwich became about its bread. Big, thick steles of it. They're usually too unwieldy, in the hand, in the mouth and certainly in the stomach. I invariably find sandwiches -- including burgers and dogs -- tastier by tossing at least one of the slices of bread.
''We slice off about a third of our ciabatta and use it for something else,'' Denton says, which answers my complaint and makes the result more compressed. ''The trick with sandwiches is that less is more. You don't want any one item to overwhelm the others.'' Which is what makes his toasted garlic and rucola oil (rucola is a babier, wilder form of arugula), his egg salad with asparagus, his prosciutto with bel paese and sweet onion so nicely balanced. You may not call everything at 'Ino ''lite,'' but the panini are certainly ''lite-er'' than most around town, and more sophisticated.

Good suit
By Phil Jr
from Chicago area
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I'm 6' and 225lbs - 46" shoulders, 42" waist. Got an XXL. Jacket is nice, but could have more room in neck and sleeves could be slightly longer. Pants are fine - has extra room in waist just in case I get a jollier belly; pockets would've been nice. Material is very good quality. I think it'll last for years. I like it, especially for the price - $8.

Size runs small
By Chubby
from NY
About Me Professional
This is a very small XXL. I have a 52" chest. I have a 44" waist. I'm 6'2" tall. The legs are OK length. The waist is tight but I can get in. The bib barely covers my gut. The straps are too short. The sleeves too.I'm sure this would fit fine if you had a 50" chest, a 40" waist and were under 6' tall. If you are the large side of XL (48" chest) this is for you. If you are the small side of XXL it probably will. If you are truly big and/or tall, probably not. The price is super low considering the quality however.

Save your money
By rgilbert
from Kenosha, WI
See all my reviews
I bought this to do cleanup in my basement after a flood because I figured the heavier weight would last longer than the Tyvek overalls I bought. XX-Large is XX-Nothing. I should easily fit into the dimensions on the package, but the waist was far narrower and the coat did not button. Yes, the product is heavier in weight, but it is so much smaller than the package indicates that it was useless. 2XL is closer to a medium; so by their sizing, I should fit a 4X
Extremely undersized
By Scorch
from San Diego
No way XXL. Barely a large.

This is a discussion on HP Laserjet 2820 - Install Problem - Hewlett Packard ; Hey Intelligence, We got a problem. We have four workstations (workgroup, NOT domain).

Hey Intelligence,
We got a problem. We have four workstations (workgroup, NOT domain).
All are P4 2.8Ghz or greater (512Mb minumum), Windows XP Professional
All workstations are sitting off a wireless access point (Dlink
DWL-2000+), which provides them access to the internet and printers.
We have recently purchased a HP LJ Colour 2820.
First time round it installed ok. We had one little problem.
We couldn't print!, BUt HP Support said to alter the port tab (in
printer config) to the ip address of the printer instead of the Port
name. It worked. no problems!
We tried to use a little button on top of the scanner which is called
"SCAN TO" it enables one to scan documents straight to the workstation.
Great! THis is why we bought it!
However when we pressed the little button and selected a workstation
(manually preconfigured), an error would appear on the screen of the
computer we wanted to recieve images, and it would say something to the
effect of it had trouble initialising scanner etc. and something about
a communication issue.
Things I noticed:
1.) The HP device can talk to the computer (thus the error would not
2.) The Computer can print to the HP Device.
3.) The HP Device can scan and copy, in black and colour, but the "SCAN
TO" function results in the above mentioned error on the said computer.
4.) The computer gets an error if it tries to use a TWAIN type scan
(say in paintbrush). Very similar to the one seen when using scanTO.
5.) All software firewalls have been disabled.
6.) All antivirus software has been disabled.
7.) All anti-spyware software has been uninstalled.
As a result we uninstalled the software and tried to reinstall. It
worked but then all of a sudden on all the computers we started seeing,
The LOOP:
During the install all went well until it asked you how you want to
connect to the printer..
We say NOT USB, but lets connect DIRECT via the network.
Ok, lets scan it says. WOW we found the HP Device.. it declares.. (it
even displays the Ip address of the HP Device).
We say: thats the one we want. Click next to accept. WAIT WAIT WAIT.
then when you think it will go to the next stage GUESS WHAT! It goes
back to the start of the wizard.. THE LOOP. Now we have to decide how
we are going to connect to the HP Device ... ALL OVER AGAIN.
This is rediculous and we can't get past it short of cancelling the
software install.
HP doesnt know what to do, they can't figure it out, this is week 2,
without any progress..
Anyone with ideas? A breif summary of the problem is listed below.
1.) we can't use the SCANTO function
2.) We can't reinstall the software.
Cheers and Thankyou in advance,
Josh Mitchell

Indian Diesel Price Hike Stings Wealthy SUV Drivers
By Saptarishi Dutta and Rakesh Sharma
India's farmers and others have protested last week's diesel price hike. But the move also hit the rich who drive diesel-powered sports utility vehicles, a group which has not raised its voice in protest.
It was widely reported the government had decided to raise prices on regular diesel Friday by 14% by partially removing public subsidies on the fuel. What is less well known was that New Delhi also decided to totally abolish subsidies on so-called "branded" diesel – a premium fuel which SUV drivers like to buy.
The result? Branded diesel prices jumped over 40% in recent days and, unsurprisingly, sales appear to have cratered.
"The business of premium fuel is over," said Jitendra Sharma, a gas station worker in New Delhi. Many sedan and SUV drivers who used to buy branded diesel have now switched to regular, he said.
B.S. Rathore, who manages a gas station in central Delhi, believes only unbranded fuel will sell from now on. Regular diesel "has already become premium" in terms of price, he said. "How much more premium can it get?"

I planted some rhubarb last year too, it grew really well, and got big. I was tempted to cut some but didn't, but next spring I will definitely try some!ReplyDelete
I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, Hannah. Sometimes it's really hard to be patient in the garden!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous20 November 2013 at 17:56
I've found that rhubarb is a very tough and forgiving plant – my in-laws gave me 3 of their plants a few years ago and every summer they practically turn into triffids (the rhubarb that is, not the in-laws...). I didn't have any instructions and, like you, planted them very close together. They get on quite well, so I don't think it's too much of a problem. This year I had rhubarb coming out of my ears and, even after giving loads of it away to friends, neighbours and my dad, I've still got a couple of batches in the freezer! I'm a very mean gardener – can't be doing with namby-pamby plants, so they have to be tough to survive in my parched soil. I do water the rhubarb and cut off any flowers that grow, other than that, I do nothing but pick it and eat it.ReplyDelete

Entertainment Panel Session
Scott Stewart on the number of musical students, and the many roles Emory musicians can play:
"[We have] 130 music majors...and in addition to the majors we have about 1,200 students...that are active in music things, whether it's a capella groups, university chorus, taking piano lessons, [or] being in a guitar ensemble. Of course we recommend that most of them get as much public performance experience as possible. A lot of what we do is concert performance where we are center stage and featured. No one should feel bad about asking us to be wallpaper, to be background music. We understand that music plays many roles in culture and one of them is to set a mood or to be a soundtrack under an event."

Jeff Kershner on hiring outside professional performers:
"A lot of outside performers are on the adjunct faculty of [universities]...even if you are going to bring in a professional group, many have a connection to Emory. You can also go through the [American Federation of Musicians] union. All of us who play with the various big groups in town have to be union members...they can direct you to the right kind of group."
Rosemary Magee on using art to set a mood:
"One way to use art in meetings is to set a mood. Most of us live in a busy, busy time and so that moment to just sit, listen, and catch your breath is a real unusual pleasure. There's something about [surprising people with non-traditional entertainment] that causes people to look at their lives and look at the ways they interact on campus in a different way."

Tips from Danny Wilson for saving money on event flowers:
Advance notice - When possible order at least 2 weeks before the event
Designer's choice - Give florist a color palette and let them find the best value
Quantities - Larger quantities mean more buying power for your florist
Leased / Re-used items - Negotiate leased containers and return flowers to your florist
Networking - Combine budgets for adjacent events for greater value
Emory Catering Presentation
Joe Mitchell on some of what makes Emory Catering part of Emory's community:
"We are very proud to be part of the Emory community. We believe that we provide the Emory community something extra. We are part of your community. All of our employees are employed under the same rules and regulations as Emory employees. We pay living wage [as well as medical benefits, and leave] to our staff. We also give back. For every event that we do on this campus there is money that is returned to the university."

Accessibility Panel Session
Maria Town on talking to people about their needs:
"People don't really know how to address the topic of disability. [They say] "Oh, I see you can't walk very well." They don't know how to have the conversation. Most of the time it was appropriate for someone to ask "is there anything you need?" or "is there anything I can do for you?"...that is appropriate and people will respond to you."
Jessalyn Smiley on looking beyond wheelchair users when preparing for guests with mobility impairments:
"When you are preparing for an event, it is helpful if you think about mobility impairments beyond a person who uses a wheelchair. We have people [on this campus] who are mobile but have some differences in their gait or ability to step up or step down, maybe unable to do the stairs, and it's not always going to be readily apparent that this is a concern for that particular person."

Curved drawer fronts: how to cut them to length and rout drawer bottom groovescomments (6) May 27th, 2011 in blogs
I'm in the final stages of making a bow-front jewelry cabinet for my wife. All that's left is to make the 17 little bow-front drawers for the interior of the cabinet! I've made enough drawers with curved fronts to know that they present two challenges. First, there is the problem of cutting them to length and getting the correct angle on the ends. Second, there's the little issue of the groove for the drawer bottom. I've seen plenty of solutions for both problems, but none of them were easy and most involved cumbersome ways of measuring the angles and holding the drawers.
After thinking about the problems for some time, I finally hit upon a solution. First, I realized that I could make a curved fence for my router table and use a slot-cutting bit to make the drawer bottom groove. I experimented with solid fences made from MDF and it worked well, but I always hated the fact that the fences used up a lot of MDF and always required some real PITA work to make a pocket in the fence for the bit. So, then I had an idea. Make a curved base from a single layer of MDF and cut a notch for the bit at the bandsaw. Then glue some "fence posts" along the curved front and attach a hardboard fence face to the posts. Brilliant! (I wish I knew where the brilliance came from!) This type of fence works great. The grooves are cut to a consistent depth all the way around the concave face of the drawer fronts.
Of course, I was still struggling with how to cut the fronts to length. But then I realized that I could take a fence just like the one for the router table, attach it to my tablesaw's miter gauge, put a drawer front on the fence and then feed it directly into the blade. The correct angle would be cut by default. Fantastic! A single fence solves both of my problems! I am, of course, very excited about this (and wish I could have more good ideas!).
Learn about the special fence for safely routing the drawer fronts in Part 2.

msdr: I am aware of the bit from Lee Valley, but I don't think it's a better solution in this case. First, I don't fancy routing the a small drawer that's held together by a band clamp (these drawers have a curved front and traditional clamps wouldn't work to hold it together). And if I were to do the drawer front by itself, with no fence, then I'd need to balance a workpiece much taller than it is wide on the narrow edge--not a good idea. And it's really not difficult to get the grooves in the sides to line up with the one in the front.
Also, the fence has the added benefits of covering the majority of the bit during operation and dust collection.

If EVER a tip needed video or a LOT more photos, this would be the one!
How are the fences held together? How did you determine the correct curve and then get the hardboard to conform to it? Where exactly is the slot that was cut on the bandsaw? On the tablesaw, the picture looks like each cut would destroy your fence; how do prevent that? To get the length correct, how do you deal with the non-centered, non-symmetric curves of the drawers that do not span the entire width of the cabinet?
I think this one may need an article...

SXSW 2013 Sessions Interview

Sambo: Ethanol is not sustainable on it's own, it has to be propped up by the tax payers. It also hurts fuel economy, it takes over one and a half times as much ethanol to run a vehicle as it does gasoline. It is also corrosive and damages fuel systems, especially small engines like lawn mowers and weed wackers. This has become a pretty serious problem these days, it clogs up the carburetors and many times you are sold a new one to replace, very costly. The fuel needs to be done away with, it's a burden on the tax payers and society.

Nike 'Clash of the Champions'
02.02.2011 | Foundation, Starseite 3
Roger, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams will be facing off in Nike's "Clash of the Champions' on March 8 at the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon (USA).
The event, which will begin at 5:30 p.m., will feature Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams playing a singles set, followed by a mixed doubles set and concluding with a men's singles set between Roger and Rafa.
A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will benefit each of the four athletes' charitable foundations, in Roger's case the Roger Federer Foundation.
Tickets for this special showcase go on sale Friday, February 4 and can be purchased at:
Roger, I have to say I'm not happy about the lack of live streaming of this exho!! What about us po' fans who can't go all the way to Oregon to watch your beauty in action? It's just not fair my dear. You're going to have to make it up to us somehow. How about winning the titles in IW and Miami? That might just make up for this slight. And then we'll forgive you. Poo poo to Nike.
ROGERPN NIKE ha anunciado que no va a dar en directo el partido, así que supongo que habrá que verlo después en you tube o en algún blog que lo emita
Hope the event finally takes place. Do you know if it can be seen online?
Go on Roger...
The exho is definitely still on. Serena has been replaced by Azarenka.
Bit bewildered as to whether this exo will happen. Nadal playing D Cup in Belguim, Roger in Los Angeles, Serena out of commission, could anyone tell me what is happening with this.
Just read Serena Williams has undergone emergency surgery for a clot on the lung. Don't see her playing in the Clash of the Champions. Hope she comes through okay, probably another long lay off, not had much luck lately.
I'm looking forward to see you in ATP Buenos Aires sometime
I wish I could see the match, but I live very far. Love you champ, you're and you will be the best forever!

There are so many meth labs around, I never heard of one on my street. I don't think they come around where they see a police car.

Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet Art and Culture Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the 2008 Norton edition of the play.
Quote #4
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear—
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand
And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight,
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
Do you think this passage where Romeo compares Juliet to a "rich jewel" is good enough to stand on its own as a piece of poetry? So did John Gaugh, the author of a seventeenth-century version of "Dating for Dummies." In his 1639 book, The Academy of Compliments, Gough "borrows" Romeo's lines and places them in a poem he calls "Encomiums on the Beauty of his Mistress." You can compare Romeo's lines (above) to Gough's poem (courtesy of the Folger Shakespeare Library).
Quote #5
ROMEO [1st Quatrain (4 lines)]
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET [2nd Quatrain (4 lines)]
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO 3rd [Quatrain (4 lines)]
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET [Rhymed Couplet (2 lines)]
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
This dialogue Romeo and Juliet forms a near perfect Shakespearean sonnet (a popular poetic form). A Shakespearean (a.k.a. an English sonnet) has fourteen lines in iambic pentameter. There are three quatrains (groups of four lines), followed by a rhyming couplet (two lines) that wraps the poem up. Sonnets also feature a "turn" somewhere in the middle or in the final two lines, where the poem takes a new direction or changes its argument in some way. This change can be subtle or really obvious. Typically, the rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG but, you'll notice that Shakespeare does something a bit more unusual here by repeating the rhyme "this" and "kiss" in the first and the second quatrains. So the rhyme scheme here is ABAB CBCB EFEF GG.
If you want to learn more about Shakespeare's sonnets, check out our discussion of Sonnet 18 and then come back.
Quote #6
Nay, I'll conjure too.
Romeo! Humors! Madman! Passion! Lover!
Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh.
Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied.
Cry but 'Ay me,' pronounce but 'love' and
I must conjure him.—
I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes,
By her high forehead, and her scarlet lip,
By her fine foot, straight leg and quivering thigh,
And the demesnes that there adjacent lie,
That in thy likeness thou appear to us. (2.1.8-13, 19-24)
Here, Mercutio tries to flush Romeo out of his hiding spot in the Capulet's yard by mocking his crush on Rosaline. (Mercutio has no idea that Romeo has just fallen in love with Juliet.) When Mercutio pretends to be Rosaline calling to her "lover" Romeo and begging him to recite some love poetry ("speak but one rhyme"), he sounds like a typical schoolboy giving his buddy a hard time.
But then, Mercutio's teasing turns ugly as he proceeds to list Rosaline's body parts—her "bright eyes," "high forehead," "straight leg," "quivering thigh," and, finally, the genitals that are "adjacent" to her thigh. Basically, Mercutio's description of Rosaline is a dirty version of what's called a "blazon," a poetic technique that catalogues a woman's body parts (and often makes comparisons between said body parts and yummy things in nature—lips like cherries, breasts like melons, etc.). Shakespeare likes to mock this poetic convention. Compare Mercutio's lines (above) to Sonnet 130.

Two solid quarters helped the Seneca Indians put Aurora away, 66-48, in a Big 8 Conference varsity boys basketball game at Aurora High School on Friday.
The Houn' Dawgs came out scoring in the first quarter and clung to the lead, 17-15, at the end of the first quarter. But the Indians responded defensively, holding Aurora to eight points in the second quarter, and led 29-25 at the half.
At halftime Indians coach Will King challenged his team to play better defensively, and they responded in a big way. Seneca (15-6, 3-0 conference) outscored Aurora 23-9 in the third quarter and never looked back.
"It was kind of a rough start for us," King said. "I wasn't real happy with our defense early in the game, and I just kind of talked at halftime about stepping up on defense a little bit. They stepped up in the third quarter and kind of put it away."
The Indians' performance was further proof to King that he's coaching a special group of players.
"I'm just proud of this team," he said. "It's a special team. Our scoring is real balanced, and guys are stepping up when they need to and sharing the basketball real well."
Logan St. Clair and Kyler Ng each paced the Indians with 15 points while Seth Harris pitched in 13, Bradley Jumper nine and Elias Roelfsema and Chance Smith had six each.
Andrew Parker led Aurora with 16 points.
