Last week's pets find great homes
One day after their photos appeared on Friday June 28 as the Rockwall Pets of the Week sponsored by Pappy's Pet Lodge, Paul and Maggie were both adopted at the Rockwall Petco. Paul couldn't wait to get home to Quinlan with the Kyle family, so he began snuggling with them in the store. Maggie the cocker spaniel then found a loving home with Mary Kirkpatrick in Rockwall.

USPS Considering Stamp Price Increase
|Email Print
The United States Postal Service proposed an increase to the current stamp price by two cents, to 46 cents. The USPS would also increase, correspondingly, the prices of all other shipping like Priority and Express mail service. All told, the increase is estimated to only generate an additional $3 billion in the next fiscal year, not even half of the estimated $7 billion deficit they are projected to run.
It's unfortunate what's become of the USPS as they try to get back into the black. There's very little by way of innovation and most people hate going to the post office, like they hate going to the DMV. The lines are always long, there are never as many tellers as there are windows, and you're always stuck behind someone who hasn't even packed what they intend to ship.
The suggestions only hasten the demise of the USPS. Shutting off Saturday service will save them money, but you don't get more business by offering fewer services. Increasing stamps will only shift purchasing (buying more Forever Stamps) or give people another reason to not mail something. Email is free.
The Postal Regulatory Commission oversees the Postal Service and they need to approve the latest price increase, which would be scheduled to go into effect January 2nd.

Well, the Index will already radiate magic, but it's quite unlikely that a spellbook would ever be found in its inventory.
That being said, I really like the item, and might use it in some things I run. It's a really fun, flavorful item that definitely has some utility, and I could see, on a character or two I've made in the past, picking up one or more.
Same with the Animated clothing. At the point you'd be able to afford the clothing, you'd also be able to afford other versions of carrying capacity stretching, and this one is much more flavorful than a simple bag of holding, at least, in my opinion.
I wish I could comment on pricing, or balance, or any of that, but it's almost 6AM and I'm running on little sleep regardless. If nothing else, these are really cool items that I'm definitely going to steal.
PS: The Cantrip Pearls look fine to me, too. It's not particularly powerful, but there are definitely times when I've wanted another cantrip or two.

When I am recording with my pod it always sounds terrible and very distorted after recording. The tone sounds great while recording, but when I play it back it sounds like it when through a garbage disposal. Has anyone had this? I have it plugged in directly to a focusrite 8i6 and am running Cubase 6. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My guess is you're clipping somewhere.
Do the waveforms look ok in Cubase?
Can you post a clip of the audio?

This is a cerebral palsy website and it is about our experience with our daughter Christabel, she is unable to walk and she uses a wheel chair. She manages to do most of the day to day things on her own.
The cerebral palsy website is presented by the father with the help of the mother and the girl herself. The disability for Christabel started many years ago when she was born on 16 December, 1989.
The girl is a practicing christian, determined and strong willed to live a better life. Christabel's goal is to walk and she is confident that one day she will walk. Christabel's stance is important because belief in god makes one complete or whole in the eyes of the creator. As a family we are all believers and we put our faith in Jesus Christ and that one day our daughter will walk or if she does not walk she will lead good quality and independent life. Presently, she enjoys reasonably good life.
Christabel's condition is disability adjusted because she is able to do a number of things on her own in spite of her disabilities.
CP is a term for a condition that lead to physical impairment in a child when it is growing up. It is an impairment which is not progressive, which means that the condition does not deteriorate, but other additional impairments may occur. Cure for this condition is not available. As parents with a child with CP we are left with limited options since there is no cure. The main option is to manage or to cope with the condition.
Our child undergoes regular physiotherapy treatment and exercises. We are fortunate in that the child does not require any medications at all.
Christabel has spastic CP which affects the whole body and it is a long term disability. She has uncontrollable shaking that affects the limbs on one side of the body and impairs normal movement.
Over the years she is has been trained and she is able to do some personal and household chores without any assistance. She is learning to stand and she is scoring some successes. Christabel is involved in brain gym, speech therapy, physiotherapy, a stint on horse riding, attending special education school or what we may term as disability education, going to church and participating in church activities.
All these have helped Christabel to get disability adjusted to her condition and fit well in the family and society. The experience gained with managing Christabel's disability has made me confident that I can help other parents or guardians to cope with a child with disabilities. Even persons with disabilities can also learn from my experience.
Providing you with the basic information about cerebral palsy is a good starting point but the site does not stop there. At disability adjusted website we recognize that when suffering from this impairment you want more than just basic level information about the condition.
People also want to know about the experts in the field, the medical institutions that are conducting research, the experience from clinical trials and the organizations and support groups that can help them to better cope with the condition. This site will collaborate with experts and organizations in the field of cerebral palsy.
The information presented here comes from our experience with our daughter with this condition. Although my wife is a registered nurse and midwife, we are not representing ourselves as medical experts providing treatment to children with this condition. We are providing our experiences with managing a child with this condition and we feel that you may learn from us, on some of our successes and mistakes. You should consult your family doctor or medical advisors to decide what is suitable for your child.

Oregon and Washington Sparkling Wines
by Cole Danehower
Any Season is the Season for Northwest Sparkling Wine!
The Pacific Northwest sparkles with great wine... and great wines that sparkle! So why do we save it all for the holidays?
"The American public just doesn't drink that much sparkling wine," says Rollin Soles, winemaker at Oregon's Argyle Winery, and maker of one of the Northwest's most respected sparkling wines. "I don't know what's up with Americans that we don't embrace sparkling wines like other cultures."
Here in the Pacific Northwest we have fantastic climates for sparkling wines, and plenty of good producers in Washington and Oregon who make tasty sparklers... and yet most of us don't think about popping open a bottle of bubbly until, well, during the New Year holidays!
Part of the answer lies in the unusual nature of sparkling wine. The tickling effervescence and coldly crisp flavors somehow seem to say "celebrate!" more than a still wine. Even so, great sparkling wine is great any time of the year... not just the New Year!
"Wine drinkers don't fully appreciate the versatility of sparkling wine," says Jack Bagdade of Domain Meriwether in Carlton, Oregon. "They don't yet realize it's much more than just a beverage of celebration."
Michael Manz, whose family has been making Mountain Dome sparkling wine in Spokane since 1984, agrees. "Sparkling wine needs to be viewed as a food beverage - people need to realize it's an everyday wine."
Sparkling Wines go Well With Food
Indeed! Sparkling wines from Washington and Oregon are amazingly food friendly, and fun to drink. The relatively high acidities and fresh feel of these wines give them many applications, from simple sipping with cheese and nuts to more considered pairing with seafood or poultry.
After all, it is good to remember that most sparkling wines are made from two of the Northwest's most popular varietals: Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Hence, sparkling wines from these grapes can be confidently drunk in many of the same circumstances where the still wines would be consumed.
And yet, with all the simple satisfaction that sparklers offer, we still seem to save them for special occasions. Another reason for this is the relative perceived expense of sparkling wines. I say "perceived" because when you actually compare prices, the best Northwest sparkling wines are no more expensive (and usually cheaper) than the best Northwest still wines. It strikes me as odd that many of us will not hesitate to pay $40 for a top-notch Washington Cabernet or Oregon Pinot, and yet we'll invariably think twice about paying the same for a bottle of sparkling wine.
Of course, the process of making sparkling wines is generally more expensive and involved than making still wines.
How Sparkling Wines are Made
Sparkling wines start out as a low sugar and high acid dry wine - called a "base wine." Even great Champagne begins as a tart, acidic, and fairly flavorless base wine. To create the sparkling wine, winemakers add a dose of sugar and yeast that is calculated to produce a predictable second fermentation of the base wine in the bottle.
As the yeast in the bottle eats the sugar, carbon dioxide is forced into the wine causing the bubbles (for more on this process, see below). But, the more pressure that builds up in the bottle, the harder the yeasts have to work. So, the lower the potential alcohol (sugars) the winemaker starts out with in the base wine, the more latitude they have in controlling how the secondary fermentation proceeds.
As a result of this technical hurdle many sparkling winemakers pick their grapes at lower ripeness levels then they would if they were making still wines. Some producers, however, have focused on using grapes with somewhat more ripeness.
Oregon's Tony Soter of Soter Vineyards, for instance, emphasizes the quality of the grapes that go into his base wine. "I want our sparkling wines to taste like they are grown first and made second," he says. To achieve this, Tony farms his grapes for sparkling wines with the same rigor and attention to detail that he brings to growing his prime Pinot noir.
While many sparkling wine producers in other regions will pick 6-8 tons of grapes per acre, Tony and others in the Pacific Northwest aim for less... for Tony it is two tons - dramatically less than the norm. And while other winemakers may pick their grapes at 17-18 degrees Brix, Tony lets his grapes mature longer, going for harvest sugar levels of 20 or 21 degrees Brix - significantly riper than the average.
The smaller yields and riper grapes gives Tony much more flavor expression in the base wine. It also means he adds less sugar later on in the sparkling wine production process.
Similarly, Rollin Soles and other producers like Washington's Mountain Dome pay careful attention to the vineyard quality of their grapes - in keeping with the adage that the wine, including sparkling wine, is ultimately made in the vineyard.
After the base wine is fermented, and after the initial dosage (liqueur de tirage) is added to induce the in-bottle fermentation, the nascent sparkling wine is left to age on its lees. Much of the final wine's character is developed at this stage as it picks up flavor nuances from the yeast cells. During this time the individual wine bottles are periodically turned and angled upward in order to gently move the sediment (dead yeast cells) toward the neck of the bottle.
When the winemaker deems enough time has passed (it can be 3 to 5 years, or more) - and when the sediment is properly positioned at the neck of the bottle - the wine is designated ready for disgorgement. At this point the dead yeast cells are removed and a final dosage of sugar is added to finish the wine by balancing its natural acidity (and determining the final level of sweetness). The bottle is re-capped and left to rest before being offered for sale.
Needless to say, all this time and attention is expensive, and that's why wines made in the true Méthode Champenois manner (rather than the high volume bulk or charmat method) cost more... and taste better.
Try Them and You'll be Happy You Did!
It is simply too bad that the perceived added cost (which includes a higher federal tax, as well) of sparkling wines inhibits people from enjoying them more often. The rich fruit flavors of Northwest sparklers, combined with vibrant and high-toned acidity, make them rewarding companions to all kinds of food ingredients and cuisines, as well as ideal complements to different moods and manners.
So go ahead and buy a few bottles of Northwest bubbly for New Year's Eve... but add a few more to your order to enjoy whenever you want a brisk and satisfying white wine!

A Wine By Any Other Name... Still Would Not Be Champagne!
You can call it "bubbly," or you can call it "sparkly," but don't ever call it "Champagne" - unless it is a méthod champenoise wine from the French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, la Champagne.
Neither Oregon nor Washington make Champagne (with or without the capital "C"), and neither does California, no matter what it may say on the bottle.
We Americans are a casual lot. We see nothing wrong with calling any sparkling wine "Champagne" because that's what we're used to.
We Americans also have little sense of place - of origin. Stuff just is what it is, and we make no fuss as to where it came from. Most of us can't see why the French get so upset at our using their name "Champagne." Hey, the British don't howl about our calling it "Cheddar," do they?
But us wine lovers know better - or should know better! We understand that a Pinot noir grown in the Red Hills of Oregon is different from one grown along the Russian River in California. We understand that a Merlot from Klipsun Vineyards will have a very different character from a Napa Merlot. And we should realize that a Champagne from Reims will not be the same as a "champagne" from Lodi.
Through the agency of a World Trade Organization agreement (to which the United States is a signatory) the name "Champagne" cannot be used in relation to a wine that does not originate in la Champagne region of France.
Some American producers don't care; they'll call their wine "Champagne" (regardless of what method they use to induce bubbles) and to hell with the WTO.
Most American consumers don't care; we'll call it "Champagne" no matter where it came from (or how it was made).
But we should care. Origin is important and should be preserved. Calling a sparkling wine "Champagne" that does not deserve the title - no matter how casual the conversation - isn't just lazy, it is a cheat and a counterfeit - so there!
AND, there is no shame in calling a great Washington or Oregon sparkling wine just that: sparkling wine - that is, after all, exactly what it is, and calling it Champagne is calling it what it is not!
Argyle's Riddling Room
Who Put the Sparkle in Sparkling Wine?
OK class, we all remember our physics don't we? We recall that Henry's law says that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid (wine, for instance) is proportional to the pressure of the gas with which it is in equilibrium (the pressure of the gas between the wine and the cork - about 6 atmospheres - which is why there are no sparkles in a sealed bottle of sparkling wine)
... and that the pressure released by removing the cork suddenly causes the dissolved carbon dioxide to want to get back into equilibrium with the new outside pressure (a normal one atmosphere of pressure)
...but that van der Waals forces linking the molecules of the liquid in which the gas exists tend to inhibit the carbon dioxide from leaving the wine, thereby restricting bubble formation ...except at those places where enough carbon dioxide gas accumulates (usually around cellulose molecules clinging to the inside of the glass - not imperfections in the glass surface as is commonly thought) to form a submicron pocket (usually around 0.2 micron)
...when Laplace's law comes into affect, which says that the inside pressure in the gas pocket is inversely proportional to the radius of its curvature - meaning that the smaller the bubble the higher the pressure inside of it - until such pressure becomes strong enough to cause the bubble to release from its formation spot and start rising through the wine
...gathering as it goes additional carbon dioxide as well as aromatic and flavor molecules from the surrounding liquid, all of which are released at the surface (and you don't even want to know about the Rayleigh-Plateau instability) in a veritable storm of tiny capillary jets that give pleasure to the nociceptors in our nose and taste buds in our mouths.
What's that you say? You don't remember your physics? Well, neither did I ... which is why I am so thankful for a timely article in Scientific American by Gérard Liger-Belair, associate professor at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, and consultant to Moët & Chandon, from which all the above was extracted and summarized
... lest you think I'm some kind of physics prodigy or something!

> About the TDK History Museum
Following its establishment on December 7, 1935, to carry out the world's first commercial production of ferrite, a magnetic material invented in Japan, TDK has been committed to developing business principally in Akita by constructing a number of production facilities there based on a close relationship with local communities. Hirasawa Plant is one of such facilities and was built in July 1940 in Hirasawa-machi, Yuri-gun (present-day Nikaho City), Akita.
The TDK History Museum was constructed on the premises of TDK's Hirasawa Plant, which has a history that reaches back to the company's establishment, as a part of the company's 70th anniversary project. With a design inspired by the materials TDK mainly deals in-i.e., ferrite, iron oxides (from which ferrite is made), and ceramics-the museum is set amid lush natural surroundings in Akita.
Under the main theme of "What has TDK created?" exhibitions in the Symbol Zone at the entrance include the TDK Gallery, which displays the company's products; A TDK Pre-history and Presidents, which introduces the company's founder and presidents, History of the TDK Brand; and the Highlight Corner, which features TDK products by category (ferrite, ceramics, applications components, HDD heads, recording media, etc.). The Event Hall shows visitors videos on TDK.

Part of the Bonnet Carre Spillway control structure will be open Tuesday for about an hour starting at about 10 a.m. for training purposes.
The corps opens one or more of the spillway's 350 bays each year to give workers experience removing and replacing the wooden "needles" that keep water out of the spillway during spring rises in the river.
The river is expected to crest today at 14 feet at the Carrollton gauge in New Orleans, three feet below flood stage and six feet below the holding capacity of the levee system in the city.
The corps generally opens the spillway when it appears that the level will exceed 17 feet. That last spillway opening occurred in 2008.
The test will last about an hour and may result in the closure of the Spillway Road between Norco and Montz, corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said.
The test is generally conducted once per year, but the corps canceled it last year because of concerns that it would interrupt levee construction projects by flooding clay pits in the spillway, Rodi said.
The agency considered canceling the exercise again this year, but it decided it could be done without impeding the work. The bay chosen for the exercise is on the upriver side of the spillway control structure near Montz.
Rodi said the road might be closed during the hour-long exercise, but the exercise has been scheduled so as not to disrupt commuter or school bus traffic.

Dust off your shorts and tee-shirts...full blown spring-fever is on the way. I think this will be the weekend where everyone says 'Yes! It's finally Springtime!' We'll be breaking record highs, and early trees and flowers will start to bloom. Add in the fact that it's a long weekend for many with Good Friday and the Easter holiday, and there should be widespread smiles over the next few days.
With high pressure overhead, it's all sunshine today. The only caveat to that will be some early patchy fog for the first few hours of the day, mainly in the valley. But the low clouds won't stick around nearly as long as they did yesterday. Otherwise just blue skies and warming temperatures, reaching into the low/mid 70s this afternoon. The record high is 70, set back in 1963. A perfect end to the week!
Fog should redevelop tonight, mainly after midnight. It could be locally dense in a few spots tomorrow morning, but will burn off once again as we head into the day. Just keep in mind that it may be gray for the first few hours of the day if you have morning plans. More record-breaking heat is expected for Saturday, with highs pushing 80! (record high is 74, set in 1981). That's pretty unbelievable stuff for early-April, so head outside and enjoy! Something tells me there will be a few BBQs going and a couple of packed golf courses.
A cold front is expected to cross the region on Easter Sunday, but it is forecast to move through dry. That means no rain, just a mix of sun and clouds. It should also be a breezy and slightly cooler day, with highs in the 70s. But 70s are still incredibly warm for this time of year, and we may come close to the record high for the date (78 degrees). All in all, it's a fantastic Easter Weekend.
More warm and bright weather on tap for Monday, before clouds and cooler temperatures finally roll in for Tuesday. That's when our next chance for rain will arrive, and it appears that we should get wet by Tuesday afternoon.

What did Ken Holland Think he was getting with Carlo? He is made of glass and has been his whole career. With the Wings losing Nick and Stuart we needed guys that are durable not this guy. If the talent pool is thin take the guy that will play 82 gms for ya. I am starting to question the direction that Holland is taking this team. It was easy for him when he could spend spend spend but a few of these last picks are ???????? Carlo, Commie, Sammy, Hudler, Quincey, Emmerton etc

Kindl is missing a great opportunity.

He's going to have to make some kind of an impact, or his clock is ticking. Sounds like Babcock is real high on Lashoff, and he's no longer waiver exempt next season...

they could bring in Tavares, Thornton, Suter and Ovechkin and they would all be injured within two games

Poor Carlo.
In the last 4 seasons he hasn't played more than 67 games in a season.
And he's only played more than 67 games once in his 10 year career.
He's a serviceable #5 or #6 guy when healthy...and I thought he was in St. Louis the last few years. The problem is that he always seems to miss at least a fourth of the season due to injuries. And that doesn't figure in the games he gets hurt in and returns 10 minutes, which happens a lot.
I'm not sure why Detroit passed on Redden, saying they had no interest. He has looked fine the past couple games since being inserted into the lineup. For $800k, I thought Detroit could have really used him. Low risk, high reward type of situation.

Ah, Carlo, we hardly knew ye. But we should have known half our players would come back (albeit briefly) and then head to the infirmary. Positive: they might get this all out of their systems early in this short season and finish strong.
OK. I am being positive here. Help me out!

- This is what democracy looks like.
Big Brother is at it again. Our dear Communist overlords in the People's Republic of Washington have seen fit to jam down our throats a piece of legislation straight from Joe Stalin's filthy playbook. The 111th
Comintern Congress has passed an "American Jobs" bill that will force approximately 15,000 New York City teens to maybe have to get a job. That's right, if this monstrosity gets through the Moonbat Senate, and is rammed between our quivering lips, past our tentative teeth and into our expectant throats, we here in Gotham will be forced to deal with $23.5 million in Federal aid designated to indoctrinate our youth create jobs.
Good God in Heaven, what has this great nation come to?

Small plane crashes in Truckee; pilot not hurt
Pilot took off from Orange County
Authorities say a small plane that took off from Southern California missed the runway and crash landed at an airport in the Sierra town of Truckee. Despite severe damage to the plane, the pilot walked away uninjured.
Nevada County sheriff's Lt. Alicia Milhous says the 62-year-old pilot took off alone from John Wayne Airport in Orange County shortly before noon Tuesday in a single-engine Cirrus SR22.
About 90 minutes later he approached the Truckee Airport amid gusty winds, clipped a trailer on the way down and crashed into brush about 40 feet off the runway.
Milhous says the plane had heavy damage but the pilot, whose name has not been released, was not hurt.
The cause of the crash has not been determined.
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

The following setting works fine for me on a Debian testing system
and with openLDAP:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldapi://
I do not have to specify the name of the socket file, since
the LDAP server and the LDAP client library are both using the
same default settings. This condition holds true if the server and
the client library have been compiled from the same source and
with the same configuration.
Furthermore, you have to ensure that slapd opens a socket
at all. This is not enabled by default.
I had to add the following to /etc/defaults/slapd:
SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap:/// ldapi:///"
The value of SLAPD_SERVICES is passed to slapd as a command-line
option by the demon startup script.

I dont even know where to begin but suddenly I am uncovering
Resolved Question:
I dont even know where to begin but suddenly I am uncovering a huge web of lies with my husband of almost 19 years. He is constantly in a state of lies, telling different people...including myself, different stories. He is secretive...gets defensive/angered when I ask him about anything. I found out at the beginning of the year that he started having an affair with a much younger person...he is 44 ..she is 28. I aslo found out that he is/has been engaging in "threesome sex" with this girl he is having an affair with. He keeps telling me he has broken it off, yet I keep finding text/chats/emails...& even friends/family catching them together. He also keeps signing up with online dating services...looking for people interested in 3somes. I've found out, while he was away on a business trip, that our finances are out of control... (he keeps all hidden from me). He is also very OCD about many things. Many people are starting to feel there is something wrong with him.
My question is: what kind of illness am I possible dealing with here..& where do I begin to look for help for him? Or is this a simple case of midlife crisis?

He has always had problems with lying...I am just beginning to understand the magnitude . He also has had some indiscretions with women in the past...unsure as to how far they have gone. I believe I can recall behaviors as far back as at least 10 + yrs ago.

Hi there,
Thank you for waiting.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband's situation.
It sounds like he may have mood disorder, neuropsychiatric and/or personality disorder as he lies all the time, is promiscuous and impulsive, acting out sexually behind your back, spends money recklessly, and obsessive about things in general.
Possibly, he may have mood disorder such as
disorder, ADHD, and/or Personality disorder such as Antisocial and Borderline PD.
I also wonder if he has sex addiction.
Does he have depression or mood swings? If so, he may have Bipolar disorder.
Indeed, people with Antisocial PD rarely seek treatment for their illness.
He may need to work with psychiatrist (M.D.) and psychotherapist. Treatment for bipolar disorder consists of pharmacotherapy (by psychiatrist), individual psychotherapy (Cognitive-behavior therapy - CBT) or Interpersonal therapy (ITP) by a licensed psychologist or psychotherapist), and group therapy or support group by a psychotherapist. Pharmacotherapy is a critical aspect of treatment.
Individual psychotherapy will help him for support, ventilation of feelings, coping skills training, and direct advice. Group therapy is useful for her to address the issues – adherence to medication and therapy, regulation of self-esteem, and management of other psychosocial issues. Support groups are available in a local community clinic or a local hospital. Friends and family should join a support group to better understand the illness so that they can continue to offer encouragement and support to him.
He and you may contact his insurance company and get a list of providers (a psychologist and a psychiatrist) in your area.
Or he may ask his primary care doctor for a referral to a psychologist and a psychiatrist.
If he has no health insurance or need low cost treatment, you may call The United Way toll free # XXXXX to find the community mental health centers in your area in which he can get treatment described above even without health insurance.
To find a group therapy or a support group for him, contact a local hospital or a clinic by asking if they offer a group for people with these illnesses. If you like to find a support group online, check Mental Health America website section (http://www.mentalhealthamerica.net/go/find_support_group) - Find a group in your area.
In any case, he may need to see a psychologist for assessment and testing to determine accurate diagnoses.
I hope your husband gets treatment for his condition as soon as possible. You also get support and help from a psychotherapist, family and/or friends in this difficult time.
Please let me know if you have more questions or I have overlooked any. Warm regards,
P.S. Please remember to click the green ACCEPT button. You do not get charged twice; I will continue to answer your question whenever I am back online; my goal is to get you the best answers possible. If I can be of further help with any issue, just put "for Dr. Olsen" in the front of your new question. All the best, XXXXX XXXXX

Hawaii is bracing for two Category 1 hurricanes. It marks the first time in 22 years that such a storm system has threatened the big island.
The first hurricane, Iselle, is expected to bring heavy rains, winds gusting up to 85 miles per hour and flooding in some areas.
Workers on the island prepared for the worst by sandbagging and clearing drains, and residents are stocking up on everything from bottled water and gas to groceries. Tourists are streaming into the airports, and airlines are changing flights for free so vacationers can get out of town.
"We're leaving tomorrow and I'm a little concerned if we'll be able to get out with the turbulence and stuff," Waikiki tourist Gwen Johnson said.
Hurricane Julio, meanwhile, is expected to slowly strengthen and pass north of Hawaii sometime this weekend.

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee Begins Construction on Downtown Education Gallery
NEWS For Immediate Release
Two buildings originally set for demolition in downtown Hohenwald Tennessee are currently being restored by The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.
Phase 1 of the project is currently underway. Carol Buckley, Sanctuary President/CEO says, 'A new roof and store front will be the first improvements seen, but what is developed inside will amaze people. The Education Gallery, showcasing exhibits which will feature the Sanctuary residents telling their true life stories, will bring the visitor closer to understanding the saga of the wild-caught elephants that live among us in captivity.'
In addition to educational exhibits, the Education Gallery (open to the public) will also contain a visitor's center with a theater in which to view multimedia presentations, a gift shop, and offices. When completed, it will be a space to immerse oneself in everything elephant. This facility will be designed with a focus on educational exhibits and multi-media presentations designed to inspire the public about elephants.
All aspects of this building will incorporate materials chosen for minimal environmental impact while remaining respectful to the city's downtown trademark historical appearance. With the success of the recent reopening of the renovated Strand Theatre and adjacent gallery space, the Sanctuary's Education Gallery will further stimulate the renovation of downtown Hohenwald as well as provide employment opportunities, revitalize buildings slated for demolition, and be a visible sign of support of the Sanctuary's long-time commitment to Lewis County. Thousands of visitors each year are drawn to Lewis County not only for the beautiful natural resources, but also to visit the town that is home to The Elephant Sanctuary.
The Education Gallery will give visitors a destination that satisfies their craving to know more about this unique haven where elephants can be retired to spend the rest of their lives in peace and dignity. Operating on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee— www.elephants.com—has been developed specifically to provide a place for traumatized elephants to recover from the debilitating experience of captivity.
The nonprofit organization, accredited by The Association of Sanctuaries and licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, is designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants that have been removed from zoos and circuses.
To find out more about the plight of captive elephants, and to monitor the progress of the residents of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee please visit our website at www.elephants.com.

A major row has erupted in Israel over the venue for July's Davis Cup quarter-final against Russia.
The Israel Tennis Federation wants to stage the tie at Maccabi Tel Aviv's Nokia Arena rather than at the Ramat Hasharon tennis centre. The basketball arena can seat nearly 12,000, double the capacity of Ramat Hasharon.
However, Israel's players are reportedly furious about the proposed change, feeling it would be "professional suicide" to let the Russians, who have four players in the top 30, play in the air-conditioned Nokia Arena rather than the outdoor heat and humidity of Ramat Hasharon where the lower ranked Israelis will have a natural advantage.
Acknowledging that the primary motive of staging the tie in Tel Aviv is to increase revenue, Michael Klein, chief of the Israel Tennis Federation, does not agree that the move will harm Israel's chances of reaching the semi-finals for the first time. He said, "Thousands more fans in an indoor arena can make much more noise cheering on the team than spectators at an outdoor stadium."
Shahar Peer gave her best performance in a major event for nine months after reaching the fourth round of the NP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
Peer, 21, was eventually beaten 7-5, 6-4 by 11th seed Victoria Azarenka. The last time she reached the fourth round stage was at Wimbledon in June.
The second round win over 12th seed Marion Bartoli, where she came from a set down, was her best victory since beating Dinara Safina at Wimbledon last year. She also bypassed Kateryna Bondarenko (59) and Anna Chakvetadze (24).
"It's great to be back to playing my best tennis," said Peer. "I was really hurt by being prevented from playing in Dubai because I was forced to train for two weeks. I need to compete."
Peer's interest in Indian Wells remained alive as she reached the semi- finals of the women's doubles together with Argentina's Gisela Dulko.
Andy Ram has reached the last four of the mens doubles in Indian Wells.

Jack pine seedling mortality
It's tough world out there, especially if you're a jack pine seedling. To begin with, jack pines are one of the few trees that can withstand the droughty, nutrient-poor sandy soils found in many areas of Minnesota. Sometimes, seedlings are planted and then must go ten or more days without rain. After surviving that, there are hungry deer and insects and diseases to contend with. This just doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Backus Area Foresters are concerned about jack pine seedling survival, noting mortality levels in plantations in northern Wadena County that occasionally exceed their expectations. In most cases, however, the plantations are still considered adequately stocked. In May and June of this year, twenty plantations less than eight years old were surveyed for establishment losses and incidence of gall rust. Collections were made to determine which gall rust species were infecting the seedlings and saplings. Most plantations have been annually bud capped to prevent deer browse.
Establishment losses are losses during the first one or two years that seedlings are in a plantation. Seedlings die if they are planted improperly, if the roots are trimmed off, if the roots dry out during planting, if the microsite is unfavorable, if rains aren't timely, if the soil is cold and the air is hot, and so on. For the last eight years, establishment mortality in these plantations has averaged 22%. Deer mortality is less than five percent due to a program of bud capping otherwise it would be much, much higher.
Gall rust is not a problem for tall saplings or pole sized trees but can cause mortality in seedlings. A gall on the main stem of seedling can girdle it or can be a point of fracture, in both cases, killing the seedling. A rule of thumb for seedling mortality is that about 25% of the main stem galls kill the infected seedlings. The other 75% of the galls do not kill the seedling because the galled tissues did not completely encircle the stem and, ultimately, the tree will be able to grow over the gall.
In 1984, a University of Minnesota/ DNR-Forestry survey found that 100% of the galls (n=30) found in Wadena County were caused by Cronartium quercuum, commonly called pine-oak gall rust. In May and June of 2000, all the sampled galls (n=100) were still pine-oak gall rust. The alternate host for this rust is oak and there are plenty of oaks on and near these sandy, plantation sites. And, in fact, gall rust is very widespread in the county since jack pine and jack pine/oak are the main covertypes there. The recent survey also found that the bulk of the infections occurred during the "wave years" of 1996 and 1998. Up to fifteen galls could form on the elongating main stem during a wave year; the average being three galls. Woody galls developed but do not fruit (bear spores) for at least three years so the galls from 1998 and 1999 were not collected. Gall rust was also found on the lowest portion of the main stem and in one year old plantations, indicating that a small proportion of the trees are infected with gall rust while still in the nursery.
Plantation surveys showed that 50% of the jack pine seedlings had one or more galls on their main stems. Gall rust losses were estimated to be 13%. This gall rust estimation is based on the average incidence in Wadena County of 50% main stem galls and the estimation that about 25% of infected trees die. Mortality of trees with multiple galls, such as those formed during wave years, may be higher.
On average, establishment mortality accounts for 22%, deer browse less than 5% mortality and gall rust is estimated to cause 13% mortality. So, the total average mortality of seedlings is about 40%. Seedlings are planted at 800 trees/ acre, and, doing the math, about 480 trees/ acre survive. Foresters would like have 400 to 500 trees/acre to consider the plantation well-stocked.
Plantations become poorly stocked if establishment, deer browse or gall rust mortality exceeds the average. Gall rust incidence, as you might expect was quite variable, ranging from 33% to 84%. And this is where the problem lies, especially if establishment or deer browse mortality are also high.
What can be done? Here are some suggestions to boost the chances of plantation
1. Plant jack pine at higher densities to allow losses yet still have acceptable stocking levels.
2. Add red pine seedlings to the plantations, either at establishment or as interplanted seedlings in "failed" or browsed areas.
3. Accept lower stocking and encourage oaks after about 10 years.
4. Wave years are unavoidable, work around them with interplantings.
5. Where feasible, plant red pine instead.
6. Investigate mortality factors of natural jack pine stands, seeded stands, containerized stock, etc. to see if 2-0 stock is more prone to mortality than other types of seedlings.

CBNNews.com - MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- The governor of Tennessee is scheduled Saturday to visit areas hit by a savage line of storms that wrecked homes, killed a mother and her baby and injured dozens of others the day before.
Gov. Phil Bredesen, Deputy Gov. John Morgan and U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn. were among the officials expected to tour the affected areas in Rutherford County.

On Friday afternoon, search teams fanned out across the central Tennessee city of Murfreesboro, looking for anyone trapped in rubble.
Clyde Atkinson, spokesman for the Murfreesboro Police Department, said he believes there were three to five tornado touchdowns mostly in the northern and western parts of the city of about 100,000.
Emergency Crews Rescue
As emergency crews worked their way through neighborhoods, they emblazoned homes with a spray-painted "c," indicating they had been checked.
Reports of destruction were widespread across the region Friday, with funnel clouds spotted in Kentucky and Alabama and devastating winds, huge hail and heavy rain reported in several states. The damage was worst in Rutherford County, Tenn., some 30 miles northeast of Nashville.
At least 41 people were injured there, four of them critically. In Murfreesboro, at least three dozen homes were destroyed. Roofs were peeled from at least a dozen homes, and a bulldozer cleared limbs and other debris from streets.
The bodies of Kori Bryant, in her mid-20s, and 9-week-old Olivia Bryant were found near their driveway. The mother was apparently trying to get her baby into a car - both were found outside, and the infant was in a car seat, rescue official Randy White said.
Andrew Piro, 23, who was on his way to work when the tornado struck, told the Knoxville News-Sentinel he came upon a man who said his brother's wife and child were missing.
"Outside under the rubble, we found the wife," Piro said. "She was right beside the driveway, about 20 feet away from the house. She was under a bunch of wood, I guess part of the roof. We found the baby strapped into a car seat, about another 20 feet away under a tree. It broke my heart."
Joe Spencer, 23, a student at Middle Tennessee State University, said he had only moments to react but survived a direct hit on his house.
"I was going to open the door to see what was going on and I looked straight at a tornado," Spencer said.
He yelled at his brother to take shelter in one of the home's bathrooms and then ran to the other, jumping into the bathtub while holding his dog, Lloyd. All were uninjured.
Kentucky Storms
In southwestern Kentucky near Mannington, State Trooper Stu Recke said one person suffered a broken hip and leg while the other suffered a broken ankle. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment, Recke said. The tornado there ripped homes from their foundations.
Several possible tornadoes were reported in north Georgia as heavy rain, hail and winds downed trees and power lines. Flights were delayed for up to 90 minutes at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as dark gray clouds swirled in from the west.
On Thursday night, a black funnel cloud packing winds of at least 136 mph descended on the western Arkansas hamlet of Mena, killing at least three, injuring 30 and destroying or damaging 600 homes.
Polk County, Ark., Sheriff Mike Oglesby said search-and-rescue teams had combed through the city's downtown Friday and a neighborhood just west that sustained the brunt of the storm without finding any other victims. The sheriff said he had no reports of anyone else missing in the city of 5,700 in the Ouachita Mountains.
Associated Press writers Kristin M. Hall in Murfreesboro and Lucas L. Johnson II in Mannington, Ky., contributed to this report.
