Let's be honest, no one is a fan of extreme temperatures! But harsh weather should not keep you from your adventures. There is a trick to braving the punishing cold temperatures of the Montana winter and exploring in the sweltering heat of an Arizona summer. On my recent trip to Havasupai Falls, this fair-skinned Montana girl learned a few things about staying cool in the heat. Here are my top five ways for beating the dry desert heat of the southwest:
5. Wear a hat. A wide brimmed hat will keep the sun off your face, ears, scalp and neck and is the best choice for beating the heat.  A lightweight baseball cap will at least protect your face and your scalp.
4. Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours. The peak heat hours are between 10 AM and 4 PM, so limiting your sun exposure and strenuous activities during these hours will help you stay significantly cooler. Early mornings and dusk will be your favorite hours of the day for activity. The sun is not beating down on you, temperatures are moderate and this is the best time for physical activity. If you are heading out on a desert hike, go early!
3. Keep your neck cool. Wet a bandana or a light weight neck gaiter and put it around your neck. Keeping your neck cool will help trick your body into thinking it is a cool. It feels fantastic and this will also keep the sun off your neck.
2. Wear sunscreen. There is absolutely nothing worse than being sunburnt and feeling hot.  Do not take a chance. Always apply sunscreen early in the day, do not wait until you feel a little burnt. By the time you realize you might be getting toasted, you are probably toasted. I recommend an oil free sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher. You will need to reapply often especially if you are sweating or in the water, every two hours is a good rule to follow. Do not forget to apply the sunscreen to your face, ears and tops of your feet. Always use a SPF lip balm so your lips do not burn. It really is better to be safe than sorry, so slater it on!
1. Hydrate, hydrate and then hydrate more! The absolute best way to keep your body cool is to drink lots of water. Regardless of your activity level in extreme temperatures you will need to drink plenty of water, if you are active you will need to drink even more. Don't wait until you are thirsty to have a drink. I highly recommend a day backpack with a hydration system in it, that way your water stays cool and is always very accessible.
I hope you find these tips helpful on your next desert adventure. If you have any tips or tricks for keeping cool, leave us a comment and let us know!
Your Friendly Travel Consultant,

I've read some of the quite vehement criticism of the meeting particularly by William Oddie in the Universe.
But, I continue to pray and hope for unity, even if that seems a hopeless cause, surely Jesus' call for unity trumps the hopeless #for God, nothing is impossible.
I hope that these discussions lead to wider cooperation particularly on issues of social justice, poverty and the greed and selfishness that leads to so many having little, while the few have to much.
So I commend everyone to welcome the meeting and to join in the prayers that it will bear fruit in many unexpected way.s
Christians all though we proclaim ourselves, we are tribal creatures, and are pretty much hard-wired to root for our tribe whenever it is compared to, or set against, another. This is a shame; but it can be transcended, and I strongly suspect it will be in the meeting between Pope and ABC.
Each is a deacon, priest and bishop of his own Christian communion; they are both men of prayer and (each in his way) men of the world. There will undoubtedly be a meeting of minds – perhaps of souls – of some kind. There almost cannot fail to be. Oddie and his ilk will be confounded, I sense.
My heart saddens when I see folks focussing on their differences.
My heart gladdens when I see folks focussing on the common need: food, medicine and a roof over everyone's head.
Peace and goodwill to all mankind: that's what they say.
Perhaps if that were focussed as the prime objective first, other matters would begin to fall into perspective.
Kind regards
Several months ago my husband and I were given a tour of a new Mormon temple before its dedication. The people we met with were interested in our understanding of their practices, though they knew nothing of Catholicism other than commonly held misconceptions. What they did know and spoke of was the charitable work undertaken by Catholics and Mormons in countries where no other faith community would venture.
Perhaps the meeting between our Holy Father and the ABC will bear fruit in a cooperative effort to fight poverty and hunger. No doubt there will be other non-confrontational issues discussed. As to William Oddie's articles, we have read them also. Are they contentious? Perhaps that depends on one's perspective. Politics, schism, apostasy are no match for the Holy Spirit. Much can be accomplished in obedience to Christ's teachings but not without prayer and faith.
Pope Francis spoke Thursday of the need for Catholics to "watch their tongues", not to resolve disputes with slander, personal attacks on those of other faith backgrounds. He spoke of the fact we are all on the same path to a common destination.
I believe ALL Christians need to watch their tongues as it is far too easy to focus on the differences, important though they may be in relation to truth, placing a focus on the negative rather than positive usually ends badly. When our daughter had surgery in April we did not question the religious background of her blood donor, nor do the recipients at the Interfaith Food Bank inquire after our faith, their benefactors, at least I don't believe so. In these very basic, human examples, there exists a truth we can work with.
Dr. Oddie is offensive to me as a Catholic, at times, making broadcast statements concerning our understanding of the faith. So there is some commonality amongst us, Anglicans and Catholics both, the spittle flecked rant of a grumpy old man.
We could argue amongst ourselves about angels dancing on the head of a pin, or matters that seem much more important to us where we are now….but surely our faith is that in the end all will be made whole in Christ. We are held in the moment (in successive moments, actually) while we live this life and our understandings are bound to be incomplete. In the fullness of time, when we are all one in Christ, we will love each other completely. In the meantime let's try to be kind and courteous. Thank you for yet another thought-provoking post, Sr Catherine!

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Junior quarterback Max Reber set a pair of school records and the Methodist football team held on for a thrilling 43-41 Homecoming win over LaGrange on Saturday afternoon at Monarch Stadium.
Methodist recovered the ensuing onside kick and was able to run out the clock for the win.
The Monarchs responded with four straight scores that spanned halftime to assume a 30-14 lead with 9:51 left in the third quarter. Ausherman kicked off the spurt with a 35-yard field goal at the 9:41 mark of the second quarter to make it a 14-10 game. Reber then capped a 10-play, 91-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run to push Methodist on top, 17-14, heading into the break.
The Monarchs looked to put the game out of reach as Reber connected with Anthony Radke from 42 yards out to go up, 37-28, followed by a 76-yard Reber-to-Cross touchdown pass that made it 43-28 after another failed PAT with 9:14 left to play before the game's exciting final minutes.
The Monarchs return to the field next Saturday at Greensboro beginning at 1:00 pm.

And to think it all started with an effort to rid ourselves of the most hateful epithet in the American lexicon.
The dreaded "n" word.
In 2007, the students of the NAACP Philadelphia Youth Council decided to bury that bad seed once and for all with a symbolic funeral, complete with casket, pallbearers, and eulogy.
Which I thought at the time was an excellent idea. I hoped it would stay dead and buried forever.
But now it's four years later and the "n" word has reared its ugly head again.

AC Golden Brewing Company

|Glenn Knippenberg
The AC Golden Brewing Company is a subsidiary of MillerCoors, a joint venture between SABMiller and Molson Coors Brewing Company. Its purpose is to serve as a specialty brewing arm of MillerCoors, in the words of president Glenn Knippenberg, "Our mission for AC Golden is to be a brand incubator for what is now MillerCoors".[1] The AC Golden Brewery operates in the former pilot brewery of the Coors Brewery. It debuted its first beer, Herman Joseph's Private Reserve, in 2008.[citation needed] The company began brewing its seasonal beer, a Vienna Style lager called Winterfest, in 2009. In April 2010, AC Golden introduced Colorado Native lager in Colorado, an amber lager made with 100% Colorado ingredients.
The AC Golden Brewing Company operates at the historic Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado, established in 1873 by German immigrants Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler, itself originally called the Golden Brewery. With the advent of the Coors Field baseball stadium in 1995, Coors started the Sandlot Brewery in a historic warehouse[citation needed] incorporated into the stadium. This craft style brewery began brewing Blue Moon, a Belgian-style witbier. Noting the changing American beer market, parent Molson Coors decided to pursue Blue Moon's blueprint by creating the AC Golden Brewing Company and slowly developing new brews with it.[2] This was placed into the realm of MillerCoors when this joint venture took effect in 2008. In 2008, AC Golden debuted its first beer to the public, Herman Joseph's Private Reserve, now brewed as a German style lager. It is sold only at restaurants in the Denver/Golden metropolitan area.

Norfloxacin Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Norfloxacin is also known as: Noroxin
Norfloxacin Pregnancy Warnings
Norfloxacin has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. High-dose animal studies have revealed evidence of embryolethality. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Surveillance studies have not reported an increased risk of major birth defects. However, cartilage damage and arthropathies have been reported in immature animals giving rise to concern over effects on fetal bone formation. Because safer alternatives are generally available, some experts consider norfloxacin contraindicated during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. The manufacturer only recommends use of norfloxacin during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Of 549 cases reported by the European Network of Teratology Information Services involving fluoroquinolone exposure (including norfloxacin), congenital malformations were reported in 4.8%; however, this was not higher than the background rate. In the Michigan Medicaid study, major birth defects were reported in 5 of 139 exposed neonates. Berkovitch et al. reviewed 35 pregnancies in women who received norfloxacin or ciprofloxacin during the first trimester for the treatment of urinary tract infections. No malformations were reported among these infants. When compared to infants not exposed to quinolones, there was no difference in the acquisition of developmental milestones and no joint problems or walking delays.
Norfloxacin Breastfeeding Warnings
It is not known whether norfloxacin is excreted into human milk. However, since other fluoroquinolone antibiotics are excreted into human milk, it is likely that norfloxacin is also. Quinolone-induced cartilage erosion and arthropathies that have been observed in juvenile animals render some concern over its possible toxic effects on the developing joints of nursing infants. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

The Twisted Lip proudly presents Teesside's 1st ever secret cinema club, EVERY Monday.
Today, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has announced confirmed funding of £2.6m for the Grade II listed Transporter Bridge, one of only a handful of its kind in the world. The Bridge links Middlesbrough and Port Clarence and is a spectacular landmark on the River Tees
Ivor Crowther, Head of HLF North East, said:
"Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge is an iconic structure for Middlesbrough and also stands as an important reminder of the town's long steel and engineering heritage. The Heritage Lottery Fund is delighted to be able to support the Council's ambitious restoration plans that will give visitors a far better experience and help everyone learn about its fascinating history."
Kevin McCloud, author, broadcaster and designer, said:
"The Transporter Bridge, sitting bang in the middle of Middlesbrough, is an extraordinary example of engineering, something long associated with this part of the world. The bridge also demonstrates the very British enthusiasm for practical problem-solving. This is why it's great news that the Heritage Lottery Fund has invested £2.6m into the future of the bridge, enabling the local community and visitors to get involved with this special landmark in new and exciting ways."
HLF's grant will enable essential improvements to be undertaken, including installing new lifts and restoring the gondola and existing walkways. A range of educational activities will also be on offer such as trips to the Teesside Archives where people will have the chance to learn more about the bridge's extensive history and workshops for local schools. Volunteers will be given opportunities to lead guided tours, arrange talks and help with important maintenance work.
Councillor Nicky Walker, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Transport, said:
"The Transporter Bridge is a hugely important part of both Middlesbrough's past and of its future, so this is fantastic news for the town and the region as a whole.The Transporter is an engineering icon and a landmark held dear by millions, and I'm delighted that that status has been given such tangible recognition. This is already a year of celebration with the centenary in October, and the modern improvements made possible by this grant will ensure the Transporter can continue both as a working bridge and as a major tourist attraction for many more decades to come."
Councillor Mike Smith, Stockton Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Transport, said:
"This funding will enable a whole new era for the Transporter Bridge, so it's tremendous news in its centenary year. As a flagship for the region, it does more than simply link the communities of Billingham and The Clarences with Middlesbrough. This award will help bring the Transporter to the attention of many more people, who will enjoy a visit to this historic bridge."
The project will benefit visitors by not only enjoying the panoramic view but also gaining a greater understanding of the history of the Bridge and the surrounding industrial heartland. These include:
In recent years the Transporter has become a centre for extreme sports with regular events involving 1,500 visitors in bungee jumping, zip lining and abseiling from the structure.
Priced £15, The Transporter – which has been printed on carbon-balanced paper by local firm HPM - is on sale now. All profits from the book will be reinvested back into the future of the Transporter Bridge.

October is a natural month for genre fiction—everything is spookier, thanks to the month-long celebration of all things autumnal, and the ever-looming specter of Halloween encourages readers to try books that may be more otherworldly than their normal tastes. For regular genre fans, however, there is something about the cooling weather and glowing jack o' lanterns that makes it so fun to curl up with an epic read and get lost in outer space or a mythical land of fantasy. Thus, I couldn't be happier about the timing of today's announcement of 47North, the new science fiction, fantasy, and horror imprint from Amazon Publishing.
Much like the plots these genres feature, the possibilities for our new imprint are limitless. We had to start somewhere, though, and when we thought of boundary-pushing fiction, we immediately turned to Neal Stephenson, the New York Times best-selling author whose works stretch the imaginations of legions of readers while continually testing the conventions of what is considered "genre." Little did we know that he was busy crafting an ambitious new series with another respected writer: the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Greg Bear. Along with fantasy and science fiction author Mark Teppo and several newcomers, they have created a multi-book project called The Foreworld Series, and 47North will publish the first book, The Mongoliad: Book One, in April 2012 with subsequent installments to follow. The authors describe the series as "Historical Fantasy," and it chronicles the birth of Western martial arts. The Mongoliad: Book One begins in 1241, where "King and Pope and peasant alike face a bleak future--until a small band of warriors, inheritors of a millennium-old secret tradition, conceive of a desperate plan to kill the Khan of Khans."
And we're only getting started! The launch includes 14 other titles set to publish in 2011 and 2012, and that list features plenty more fantasy and science fiction. We wanted to ensure a balance between the two genres—and then between their respective subgenres. But first we had to define them: science fiction has its roots in reality, no matter how improbable, while fantasy is based in, well, fantasy—the impossible. Both have deep wells of subgenres, from epic fantasy (sweeping swords and sorcery) to urban fantasy (contemporary settings tinged with magic and supernatural), and from space operas (high adventure amongst the stars) to military SF (the art of war…in space!). We sought titles that fed a variety of fan appetites and authors whose works were both familiar and refreshingly new.
Then we ran into the issue of exceptionally written works that contained elements of one or both of the above genres but also trended a little darker. We quickly realized that battling the supernatural is best left to the professionals, so we thought it wise to include horror in 47North as well. It's a difficult genre to classify, as it often contains elements of fantasy, science fiction (see any debate on how to classify Ridley Scott's Alien, for example), and thriller writing. As a result, the 47North list includes supernatural, demonic, and revenge stories, all full of that creeping dread that must permeate any great horror tale.
As 47North's catalogue grows, so too will our ideas about what makes up each respective genre, and we hope you'll be there to help guide us. We encourage all science fiction, fantasy, and horror fans to tell us what you love to read and how we should continue to craft an eclectic catalogue of great genre fiction via our 47North page, which includes links and more information for our initial titles. Sharpen those swords, ready the teleportation chamber, and keep your silver bullets close—oh, and stay tuned!
P.S. As for the story behind the name "47North"—it's the latitude for Seattle.

Hello Jason,
We'd love to hear your feedback. The 47North page is the place to submit suggestions: www.amazon.com/47North
thank you,

Is there a specific portal or contact to "request" particular out-of-print books to be picked up by 47North? That would be awesome.

Has Google Stock Price Been Manipulated?
Jerry Wenjiu Liu
California State University, East Bay
February 3, 2009
We present the evidence that the GOOGLE stock, one of the most important stocks in the 21st century, may have been illegally controlled by large Wall Street firms. We identify a group of smart traders, including financial firm proprietary traders and large traders who trade options with large orders. We find that they have advance information about the closing prices on post earning release and option expiration days. These smart traders sell options to the market which would become worthless after the key events, and their high success rate is difficult to be explained by normal trading behavior. Additional evidence from the tape, such as unusually high quoted depth and extremely low narrow quoted spreads during clustering option expiration days, provide direct proof that the GOOGLE stock price may have been manipulated to coordinate the institutional traders' option selling activities.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mandarin Oriental, Munich
Munich's premier hotel
I recently again spent few days in this hotel and having stayed also in other fivestar Munich hotels, I must admit the Mandarin Oriental is the best choice for those looking for luxury, privacy and perfect service.
Upon my early arrival about 11 a.m. I was immediatelly given a room, not common at some other hotels. The lady from reception even followed me upstairs to show me the room. I booked a superior category room but this room was actually bigger than some suites I had at other hotels. It featured a well organized walk-in wardrobe, marble bath with separated toilet and shower stall, a sitting area and a TV with DVD player. The view was nothing special but I did not ask for a room with a view, they would probably assign such upon request.
I inquired about an internet access point and was shown their small business centre. I asked whether it was possible to hire a PC and within minutes (!) a clerk brought me a laptop to my room to use
during my stay, free of charge.
Another pleasant touch is the free minibar, which partially compensates the higher accomodation price. I was also allowed a late 4 p.m. checkout, again without any extra fee.
The most lovely part of the hotel is the rooftop terrace with a small pool. There whole area is small but it does not bother because it is accessible exclusively to hotel guests so there are never too many people around. The views are really stunning, the pool is fully serviced with drinks and meals. Very romantic place to have a cocktail or a glass of champagne upon the sunset or in the early evening overlooking the bustling streets of Munich.
The dinner at the restaurant Mark�s was very pleasant too. Breakfast is only partially buffet-style, most things have to be ordered a la carte but are included,the staff is very friendly and helpful
they even bring you things from the buffet on request so one has not to leave the table at all.
There is a small desk at the entrance and the staff always watches the people coming in the hotel, for me it is a welcomed security feature that nobody can simply walk in and go up to the rooms like at some bigger hotels.
The only minus for me was the very small fitness area. But it was probably not possible to create a bigger fitness centre due to lack of space in the house.
This hotel is for me one of the very few remaing ones for whose the term " personalized service" is not only a plain brochure phrase but a reality.
The finest hotel experience anywhere
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Switzerland and Munich in October, and let me say that ending up in Munich at the Mandarin Oriental was the perfect ending to the perfect honeymoon.
The concierge and staff bent over backwards to make our stay and the occaision as special as possible. I recognize that we were honeymooners, but after observing the staff's actions around other guests, it appears such customer service is the norm.
The rooms are not the crazy fancy of others, but more simple and understated elegance. The bathroom is riduculous. To reiterate what was stated in the previous reveiw, the robes are a huge plus.
I did a lot of reading on this site and others regarding our hotel in Munich. When I broke it down, there were basically three top hotels in the city: the Kempenski Vier Jahreszetien, Bayer. Hof, and the Mandarin Oriental. All three are in the same general vacinity, and I kept reading that the Mandarin was the smallest and quaintest of the three (and also was the most affordable too!). Well, after walking by the others while there, I can say that we are of the opinion that all are great, but the Mandarin Oriental is the way to go if you like to be pampered with the type of customer service that all the great hotels aspire to have. The Hofbrauhaus is literally right behind the hotel, but noise was never and issue -- and that is coming from a guest whose balcony overlooked the place.
If this says anything -- in choosing the city for our next getaway, my wife and I have found ourselves asking just one question: does it have a Mandarin Oriental?? If all of the others are like this one, then I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else!
BEST hotel E V E R !!!!
What can I say. Seriously, I travel A LOT and I've never had a room or service to parallel that of Munich's Mandarin Oriental.
From the rose-petal infused dish to wash my fingertips, to the elegant plate of daily afternoon fruit, this hotel does the little things remarkably well. The service is SUPERB without being a bit intrusive. The concierge staff really cares about your happiness - they go WAY beyond the call of duty and seem to know the tastes of every guest in the hotel.
My only critical comment is that the exercise room is so painfully small. They have some free weights, but no bench (and no room for a bench). It's amusing, actually. The exercise room does have a great plasma TV and, of course, it's stocked with fruit, so I spent most of my workouts munching and watching CNN.
The bathrobes are the thickest SOFTEST (which is rare) terry-cloth robes I've ever seen. I was very cose to dishing out the 165 Euros it would have set me back to bring on of those robes home.
The bathtub is huge and formd to the human body. The shower can fit ten people (not that I tried)....
The location, a block from the Maximillianstrasse, is PERFECT. The famed Hofbrauhas is almost right behind the hotel, and the restaurants in the area are amazing.
I have stayed at other top Munich hotels before this trip but, from now on, it's ONLY the Munich Mandarin Oriental for me!!!!
Class...total class
Because I am on a tight budget for a project that requires me to travel out of the country at least twice a month, I was little reluctant to stay in this hotel where the absolute cheapest rate is about 300 euros a night, but I have been dying to see what became of the old Hotel Raphael now that the Mandarin has bought it up.
My first impression was not good: I was shown up to a room that had a view of a parking garage. However, when I called down to the reception desk, they expeditiously relocated me to a room with a view. It was large, bright, and tastefully decorated. My only complaint was that the toilet seat was cracked and there was no one on the premises to fix it when I discovered it.
But, one tends to overlook things like these when everyone on the staff knows your name after you have checked in, and you feel like you're coming home. The bartender makes the best apple martini I have ever had in my life (his secret is 2 teaspoons of apple sauce and a bit of Galliano), and Dario the concierge is a dream come true. I will return again, and often.
Fantastic Hotel, Location and Staff
Our family stayed at Mandarin Oriental from Aug 1 to Aug 4 of 2004. We had 2 connecting junior suites - for my wife and I and our 2 children.
This is great hotel. The rooms are fantastic. The roof top pool has an incredilbe view of downtown Munich. It is worth a night here - to play in the pool, have a drink and check out the amazing view.
The staff was extremely helpful and always made us feel comfortable. We had several unusual requests for help for the concierge - who never failed to help us out and make us feel welcome.
Our family travels alot and usually we stay at pretty nice places. Mandarin Oriental is one of the BETTER 5 Stars in our European experience.
FYI - we have also stayed at the Hotel BayerisherHof - which is another 5 star in Munich. I can not think of anything nice to say about our experience there - other than "nice location"
Beautiful Hotel
Great location to the shopping district of Munich plus other sites. Spacious rooms and a very helpful staff. Enjoyed going into the square next to the hotel for coffee in the morning. Also, be sure to eat at the Hof for a traditional German meal and atmosphere. Lovely hotel.
Best Hotel in Munich
The Mandarin Oriental, is a small Hotel with perfect and friendly service which give you a feeling like coming home. It is perfect situated, at a small side road of the famous Maximilian street. The rooms are very spacious and well equiped. The bed is a dream. Marks restaurant serve good food, enjoy a great coktail and live music at the hotel bar. From the rooftop pool you have during summer a fantasic view over the roofs of Munich.
Best hote in Munich
Beautiful hotel with elegance. Great to know that even Prince Charles has also stayed at this grand hotel.
Exquisiite and pricey
This is a fabulous small hotel - but be prepared to pay dearly. However, if you can afford it, it's worth it - mostly. Location is central and within easy walking distance of key sights and restaurants. However, it can be noisy at night due to its proximity to the Hofbrauhaus so be sure to request a room NOT facing it. Our check-in was easy and fast. We had driven in and they valet parked our car. NY price of E19.50/day. The room was adequate in size and exquisitely furnished. Terrific marble bath with shower and tub. Fruit & cheese plate waiting for us when we opened the door. Breakfast is NOT included and was an exorbitant E24.00 per person for the buffet regardless of how much/little you ate. All in all a great place for our last night in Germany after spending a week hiking in the Bavarian Alps.
Fabulous Small Elegant Hotel
We have stayed there twice - previously when it was the Rafael and after it became the Mandarin Oriental. Wonderful location right behind the Hofbr�uhaus - short walking distance to Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, Theatinerstrasse, etc. Gorgeous rooms - probably the best bathrooms in Germany - separate toilets/bidets, separate marbled showers & tubs. Ask for a room with a view towards Frauenkirche, Marienplatz - much better than the opposite direction. Just beautiful when the spires are lit up at night.Check-in can be slightly frosty, but didn't let it bother us. Wonderful bar for meeting friends & elegant breakfast room. Huge fruit basket in room upon arrival, wonderful service, super-comfy beds, great work area. We have stayed in all of the top hotels of Munich & like this the best - no conferences/meetings like at the Bayerischer Hof and nicer rooms than the Vier Jahreszeiten. Worth the splurge and be sure & have dinner at Austernkeller, a few blocks behind the hotel - excellent lobster thermidor in a cozy, yet colorful setting with incredibly gracious service. My favorite hotel in my favorite city!

Solomon Butcher first saw Nebraska in 1880 when he joined his father in claiming homestead land in northeast Custer County. He had been working in Ohio as a traveling salesman, but joined his father, brother George, and brother-in-law J.R. Wabel when they migrated from Illinois to Custer County. Not unlike other plains homesteaders Solomon's first home was a wagon cover stretched over a hole in the ground.
Pioneering did not suit him one iota and within just a couple of weeks, he turned his claim back to the government. He returned to Minneapolis, attended Minnesota Medical College, and met Lillie Barber Hamilton. They married and in October of 1882 returned to Nebraska where he started teaching school. As a young man he had worked as an apprentice to a tin-typist, learning about photography. Now back in Nebraska he saved his money and purchased a photographic outfit.
Once again he obtained some land, built an unimposing structure, part of it out of sod, and used it as a studio and living quarters. But he was not content there and soon moved from town to town, staying one step ahead of full poverty, but being certain of one thing: he did not want to return to homesteading. His love of photography drew him back to the land, however, and he set out on a journey to document the lives of pioneers.
His canvas was a glass photographic plate, and the Nebraska heartland — most specifically Custer County — became his inspiration. Beginning in 1886 and continuing for the next 25 years, he carried his photographic equipment from one homestead to another, from town to town, documenting the people and their lives. His more than 1,000 photographs of sod house pioneers are the greatest collection of pioneer photographs in the country. And he made another 2,500 or so images that show other aspects of life primarily in Nebraska, although he did some work in South Dakota and a few other regions.
His photographs are iconic. They show the land, the homes, the farms, and most of all the people. They range from a photo of himself in front of his dugout to a picture of an extended Nebraska family including grandparents, parents, and children that shows the treasures of a family: chairs, cows, horses, wagons or buggies, an organ and other household goods.
Let's start a journey into the Nebraska prairie lands Solomon Butcher traveled in Grand Island. The Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer provides a glimpse into that earlier lifestyle that he photographed.
The Stuhr Museum log cabin settlement has eight structures representative of the 1850s and 1860s from various locations in the region. An early example of a homesteader cabin from Hall County, Neb., is the Menck Cabin, built in 1859 of cottonwood logs by Christian H. Menck. This German immigrant claimed land just east of Grand Island City (as the city was known in its early days). German brothers John, Henry, and James Vieregg built the Vieregg Cabin in Merrick County, Neb. With three of them to share the construction, this cabin, also now at Sturh Museum, is quite large at 20 feet by 40 feet, twice as long as the Menck cabin.
Many German settlers left their homesteads and relocated when the Union Pacific Railroad built the Grand Island Station in 1866. Some of them hitched ox teams and dragged frame buildings from their original locations to a new site near the railroad and as a result the town grew quite rapidly. When a United States Land Office opened, the stake was clearly set for Grand Island City.
The Stuhr Museum has an area dedicated to the railroad development and there are other structures representing the early settlement of Nebraska including an area representing farming in the 1890s. One house is the Cleary Farmhouse, once the home of German farmers Julius and Lena Kroll. You can also see a summer kitchen, a hired man's house, the rural Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church and a rural schoolhouse. These structures represent the community of Runelsburg, which was bypassed by the railroad and therefore never became as prosperous as Grand Island.
The Stuhr Museum is a fun site to spend a day exploring. If you feel as though you may have been here before, perhaps you have. Three major television specials were filmed at the museum, and each of them won Emmy Awards. They include "My Antonia" based on the Willa Cather novel and staring Jason Robards, Eva Marie Saint, and Neil Patrick Harris, the Hallmark Hall of Fame show "Sarah Plain and Tall" featuring Glenn Close and Christopher Walken, and David Devrie's "Home at Last," a PBS Wonderworks special.
From Grand Island drive west through the Nebraska Sandhills on Nebraska Highway 2. This rolling grassland attracted Pawnee Indians who followed the bison as they moved across the Great Plains and it also attracted homesteaders. Solomon Butcher is most known for the photographs and writing he did about settlers in Custer County and one place to learn more about him and his work is in Broken Bow, the county seat.
The Custer County Museum recreates the Wescott, Gibbons, and Bragg General Merchandise Store of Comstock, Neb., by showing most of the store's original display cases and merchandise as well as a drug store that operated within the general merchandise.
Visit with the folks at the Custer County Museum and learn more about the people and places Butcher photographed.
Butcher spent most of his photographic time capturing the sod house pioneers, but he also ventured north into South Dakota, where he photographed Lakota Indians on Pine Ridge shortly after the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee.
Solomon Butcher took more than 4,000 photographs during his career, most of them on large glass plates. He moved from place to place in Nebraska, each time carefully packing and hauling all of the glass places.
In truth, Butcher was more of an artist with a camera than he was a businessman, and ultimately he sold his photographs to the Nebraska Historical Society in order to have some money in his pocket. He only received $600 for the photos that have become priceless representations of homesteader and pioneer life.
For a more in depth look at Solomon Butcher, and to view many of his photographs, pick up a copy of "Light on the Prairie" by Nancy Plain, a book that captures the essence of Solomon Butcher and reflects it in the images of Nebraska homesteader life. ❖

GAINES TOWNSHIP -- Those deterred in starting the business they've dreamed of might find inspiration and advice in a free seminar on Monday.
"I think it's always a time to start a business," said Chuck Gass, a marketer for the local chapter of SCORE, which is sponsoring the event. "For people who want to start a business, this seminar is ideal for them. The theme throughout is to live your dream."
Gass said poor markets, inadequate capital and lack of planning are some of the reasons that 80 percent of new businesses fail in the first year. SCORE tries to reduce the mortality rate by providing help from experienced counselors.
"This will be key to the seminar agenda: to overcome these things, the obstacles that might be in your way," Gass said.
Members of the local chapter will provide a free business seminar that includes counseling, speakers and exhibits.
When: 8:45 a.m. to noon May 24, with counseling sessions until 2:30 p.m.
The seminar, marking National Small Business Week, will include speakers, exhibits and 20-minute confidential sessions with counselors at the end.
Speakers include: Joan Lettinga, who started four small businesses in the area; Tom Edwards, a former Amway vice president involved in business ventures; and Bob Negen, who started Mackinaw Kite Co.
Ernie Birge, chairman of the SCORE chapter, will introduce two of his clients: Dave DenHerder, CEO of a cell phone distributor, and Nathaniel Moody, owner of Moody-Gillespie Funeral Home.
"It's a challenging time to start a business," said Birge. "If a business is a good idea and you plan and have adequate financing -- those are the key things -- then you can work on it."

GE job situation at issue
Roger Zaczyk, president of Local 506 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, said he's concerned that a continued slump in the mining business and a swirl of rumors could be pointing to trouble for GE Transportation.
Zaczyk's concerns only grew last week with the news that Caterpillar Inc., a key GE competitor, had announced another 460 layoffs as a downturn in the mining industry continued.
Meanwhile, Joy Global, another maker of mining equipment, has seen its stock value fall 33 percent over the past year amid reports of falling sales.
What does all of this mean for GE Transportation -- Erie's largest employer -- which builds freight locomotives that haul coal as well as equipment used to mine it?
The answers aren't yet clear, Zaczyk said Monday.
"Mining is a big part of GE Transportation," he said. "With our off-highway wheels that we produce, it's one of the major financial contributors to transportation in Erie."
Zaczyk said he was paying particular attention to the layoffs by Caterpillar, which is both the world's largest maker of mining equipment and GE's main competitor in the locomotive business.
Zaczyk, who meets frequently with management to discuss job security for the company's 3,570 union employees, said he's been told that orders are strong both for locomotives and mining equipment through at least the end of the third quarter of this year.
But Zaczyk said he can't ignore what he reads about the mining industry. Nor, he said, is he deaf to rumors that cuts could be coming at the local plant, which employs about 5,600 people.
"I fear the trend may follow here," he said. "I really believe it could have an effect on operations here in Erie."
Jennifer Erickson, a Chicago-based spokeswoman for GE Transportation, has declined in recent days to answer questions about potential staffing changes.
In an e-mail Friday, she said: "I do not have anything -- only that we regularly review staffing needs to ensure we meet customer commitments and production demand."
There are numerous indications, however, that an announcement is likely coming, possibly today.
Erie County Executive Barry Grossman said he was contacted by the office of Lorenzo Simonelli, chief executive of GE Transportation, to arrange a conversation for 10 a.m. today.
Zaczyk said a regular Monday meeting with management was called off on Monday.
While there's some cause for concern about the mining business, Tony Hatch, who follows the rail freight business at ABH Consulting in New York City, said the outlook for the rail freight business is positive.
The move by power plants from coal to natural gas took a 15 percent bite out of coal shipped by rail in 2012, he said. Typically, a slowdown of that sort would prompt freight railroads to park some of their locomotives and would shut off demand for new ones.
But as far as the railroads are concerned, "the slowdowns are last year's story," Hatch said. Increases in shipments of petroleum and agricultural products are likely to offset much of the loss, he said.
"This is going to be a bridge year. The bad news (for rail) is behind us," Hatch said in an interview Monday. "Over the course of the long term, the rail industry is in a good position."
But the state of the industry might be only part of the equation.
Erie-based employees of GE Transportation also face the possibility that their jobs could be moved to the company's new facility in Fort Worth, Texas, where nonunion employees earn substantially less than their union counterparts in Erie.
UE Local 506 has reported that starting wages at the Texas plant, which produced its first locomotive earlier this year, range from $16 to $22 per hour.
UE members in Erie, by comparison, earn from $26.50 to $36.49 an hour.

ELMWOOD PARK — The director of the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union says a mural dedicated to Trayvon Martin painted on the side of a local deli is protected speech.
Town officials cited local zoning laws when they called for the removal of the mural at Messina Deli on East 54th Street, The Star-Ledger reported recently.
But ACLU-NJ Executive Director Deborah Jacobs recently told NJTV that the mural — which depicts a figure wearing a hoodie and includes a dedication to the Florida teen whose death has caught national attention — is protected by the first amendment.
"One of the things that people commonly misunderstand is that political speech holds a higher level attention than other kinds of speech, such as advertising or business-related speech," Jacobs told NJ Today's Mike Schneider.
Jacobs also said that her organization looked into the zoning bylaws in Elmwood Park and found that they were too vague to be applied to the mural.
Mayor Richard Mola told Fox 5 in New York that if the building's owner, John Quinn, wants to keep the mural, he will have to obtain a permit from the town.
"The law is we don't allow signs," he said. "It's a sign."
One of the artists behind the mural told The Record that the mural was not initially planned as a dedication to Martin, but that the inscription, "Trayvon, we got you," was added after they started following the case.More coverage:

1983 The Seamless Web Original Baseball Installation Artwork by Mark Rucker
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $3,190.00
Extraordinary installation artwork by Mark Rucker entitled The Seamless Web, created for use as the cover illustrations (both front and back cover) for the Hall of Fame's fall 1983 edition (Vol. 2, No. 1) of The National Pastime, an annual publication of the Society for American Baseball Research. This is one of the most fascinating and captivating artistic tributes to the history of the game we have ever seen. Mark Rucker is extremely well known as one of the most accomplished baseball historians, and as a professional image archivist he has also made extraordinary contributions to the chronicling of the game, creating "The Rucker Archives" over a period of twenty-five years, one of the most important and extensive collections of baseball images ever assembled. Less well known is the fact that Rucker is also a very accomplished artist, who in the early 1980s had gallery showings in New York and Washington. Occasionally his art and appreciation of baseball history crossed paths, and this work is the most extraordinary and elaborate of his baseball-related works. Technically, the artwork is comprised of twenty separate original paintings (gouache on paper, each mounted on wood), each featuring a single standing image of a baseball great. The paintings are designed to be displayed in a beautiful hand-crafted wooden "stadium." The players, chosen by The National Pastime editor John Thorn, are greats from all eras. Together the twenty players comprise two all-star teams spanning all eras, from the earliest days of organized baseball through then-modern times (1982), presenting these stars on the same field in a "seamless web" of time and imagination. Each of the player paintings measures 4 x 9 inches. Two players are represented at each position, plus two batters. The "stadium" is both a part of the larger artwork and a very substantial work of art in itself. Measuring an impressive 37 x 41 x 8 inches, the "stadium" features ten individual slots for the placement of the artworks (only ten players can be displayed at a time) as well as various attached advertising signs (also painted by Rucker) including those for Fatima Cigarettes, Jax Beer, and Coca-Cola. The Seamless Web is accompanied by a custom-made Lucite covering to allow for protected display. These are the players represented by the twenty individual artworks (by position): LF: Ted Williams and Sam Thompson. CF: Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. RF: Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron. 3B: Mike Schmidt and Pie Traynor. SS: George Wright and Honus Wagner. 2B: Jackie Robinson and Nap Lajoie. 1B: Cap Anson and Dan Brouthers. P: Sandy Koufax and Jim Creighton. C: King Kelly and Josh Gibson. Batter: Ty Cobb and Pete Rose. Each of the artworks has been signed and dated (1983) by Rucker. As for the selection of the twenty players, John Thorn states in his preface to The National Pastime that "These are not Mark's nominations for the game's best players, nor the editor's—simply twenty picturesque, important men who span the game's history from 1860 to 1983." They are, nonetheless, two all-star teams that span the ages, and only in this extraordinary installation artwork do these stars share the same field. Both the artworks and "stadium" remain in Near Mint to Mint condition. The Seamless Web is accompanied by a copy of the 1983 edition of The National Pastime. Rarely does a work of art relating to the history of baseball have a greater presence or make for a more spectacular conversation piece. Please note: Due to the size and weight of this piece, and depending on where it is sent, shipping fees for this item could be substantial. Total: 22 items (20 artworks, "stadium," and published periodical). Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $3,190.00

By the end of 2014, three countries were still polio-endemic
There is no cure for polio but it can be prevented with a vaccine

Polio is a highly contagious viral infection, mainly affecting children under the age of five, which can lead to paralysis or even death.
Many infected people have no symptoms but they excrete the virus, transmitting infection to others. In areas with poor sanitation, the virus easily spreads through contaminated water or food.
One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. Among those paralysed, 5–10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilised.
Polio can only be prevented with a vaccine, as there is no cure. Multiple doses are required, usually providing life-long protection.
When the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was launched in 1988, polio was endemic in 125 countries and paralysed about 1,000 children per day. Thanks to global efforts and vaccination, polio cases have fallen by 99%, from more than 350,000 cases a year to 414 reported cases in 2014.
Today, more than 10 million people are walking who would otherwise have been paralysed by the poliovirus.1 India, once the world's epicentre of polio, has been polio-free since January 2011. Only parts of three countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan – remain polio-endemic.
As long as a child anywhere remains infected with polio, children in all countries are at risk. Half of the polio cases in the 2009–2011 period resulted largely from weak immunisation and health systems, accessibility and security issues.2 In the past decade, polio has spread to over 20 polio-free countries from endemic areas.
Today, Pakistan and Afghanistan carry the burden of wild polio cases, but as outbreaks in Ukraine and Mali have shown, a weakened health system and persistent low immunisation coverage rates can quickly reverse the gains.
In May 2013, the World Health Assembly endorsed the new Polio Eradication & Endgame Strategic Plan 2013–2018, calling on countries to introduce at least one dose of the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and begin the phased removal of oral polio vaccines (OPV).
In the next phase, all countries will switch from the trivalent OPV to the bivalent OPV in April 2016 – removing the type 2 component of the vaccine as type 2 wild poliovirus has already been eradicated. This, in turn, will lead to the complete removal of the live-attenuated oral vaccine, which is necessary to eliminate the risk of vaccine-associated polio outbreaks.
The introduction of IPV is a critical step to manage potential risks associated with this phased removal. Adding IPV to routine immunisation programmes will improve immunity and help to prevent further OPV-associated outbreaks from emerging.
Overcoming the final 1% of cases is similar to completing a marathon – the final stretch is often the most difficult to complete, takes the most focused effort and yet can be the most rewarding.
A 2010 study3 estimates that polio eradication could provide at least US$ 40–50 billion in net benefits for the world's poorest countries, primarily from avoided treatment costs and productivity gains.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is a public-private partnership led by national governments and spearheaded by WHO, Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and UNICEF. Its goal is to eradicate polio worldwide.

To complement the efforts of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Gavi is using its experience in supporting new vaccine introductions to facilitate the rapid roll-out of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). This will help meet the unprecedented timelines of the Endgame strategy.
Gavi supports the introduction of IPV with funding from GPEI in up to 73 eligible countries eligible, as well as helping to strengthen routine immunisation programmes.
There has been high country demand for IPV: all 71 countries expected to apply for support had done so by January 2015. Nepal became the first Gavi-supported country to introduce the vaccine in September 2014, just 10 months after the programme was initiated. As of August 2015, all countries are expected to introduce IPV before the switch from trivalent to bivalent oral polio vaccine (OPV), scheduled for April 2016.
Countries introducing IPV will receive a one-time cash grant from Gavi, funded by GPEI, to support some of the additional activity costs related to introducing the new vaccine. These activities may include health worker training, social mobilisation, micro-planning, expansion or rehabilitation of cold chain equipment, printing of materials (such as immunisation cards), technical assistance and modifications to the surveillance systems.
Gavi and GPEI have worked closely with UNICEF to ensure sufficient and affordable quantities of IPV are available. However, the IPV programme currently faces a significant supply gap caused by reduced availability of the vaccine from manufacturers coupled with increased demand, mostly from supplementary immunisation activities (SIAs). This has caused delays to the initial introduction plans in a number of countries.
Routine immunisation is the sustainable, reliable and timely interaction between the vaccine, those who deliver it and those who receive it to ensure every person is fully immunised against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Strengthening routine immunisation is a pillar of the polio eradication strategy. High coverage provides a strong base for population immunity to prevent polio outbreaks and builds a sustainable platform for the introduction of IPV and other life-saving vaccines.
In polio-endemic countries, the virus persists in marginalised populations where health and immunisation services are largely non-existent, and where oversight and management of primary health care systems are weak.
However, the poliovirus cannot survive for long periods outside the human body. Without an unvaccinated person to infect, the polio virus will die out. As a result, strengthening routine immunisation is a critical factor in successfully interrupting all poliovirus transmission.
Gavi is working with GPEI and other key partners to strengthen routine immunisation in 10 focus countries targeted by the Polio Endgame Strategy. The countries (Afghanistan, Angola, Chad, DR Congo, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, South Sudan) all have significant numbers of partially and non-vaccinated children.
These efforts benefit from the expertise developed by GPEI since 1988 to support and strengthen broader immunisation activities.
Strengthening routine immunisation involves:

The Clean Revolution Will Be Crowd Funded
Daniel Rosen, GigaOm
Google Images
Will so-called crowd-funding provide the next-generation of investment for clean power? The Senate's version of the Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups (or JOBS) Act was planned to be voted on Tuesday, but has been delayed in the Senate by new arguments. That bill already had the support of Google, Steve Case, Angel List and many others, and we'd also like to lend our support for the bill from our small start-up Solar Mosaic in the clean-energy community.
TAGGED: Solar Energy, Renewable Energy, Green Energy, Clean Energy

Where I stayed
Arrived here in Albany yesterday evening having driven 400kms along the Albany Highway from Perth. It was a lovely trip, not many cars on the road. Could have been Ireland about 50 years ago! Saw 4 kangaroos, all dead.
The weather down here is a bit cooler, but ok cause there are electric blankets on the hotel beds!
Today we had such a day. Went out on a whale spotting trip for 3 hours. And did we see whales - 2 mothers with calves. The first calf was really playful and we have great video footage - but having trouble uploading photos or video to this site. But we have put the photos up on facebook so i'll put the link in at the end.
Afterwards we went to the Marron Farm and spent ages in their Aviary with loads of different parrots savaging us for the food we'd been given for them. Loads of pics of that on Facebook! Also had lunch there, marron of course, and yabbys and octopus - it looked so good we took a picture of it - it's on facebook of course!
Then onto Torndirrup National Park where there are some pretty amazing natural granite formations, with the sea breaking through them, the gap, bridge and blow holes. (One of those blew as I was standing over it and I nearly jumped off the cliff with the shock!!!
Lastly back here, to record it all and upload the photos to our Facebook site, http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=764812079

9-11 oddities resurface
Raw Story informs us that traces of a high-tech explosive superthermite have been identified in WTC debris.
Meanwhile The Daily Ed reports new information that foul play may have been to blame for the August 2008 death of key 9/11 eyewitness, Barry Jennings, who was emergency coordinator for the NY Housing Authority on 9.11.01.
Mr. Jennings, as I remember, gave an on-the-spot, real-time interview with the press that morning – he heard explosions which would indicate that the official story of the 9/11 attacks is off by several miles at least or is criminally misleading at best.
Then there's this particular astrologer, who previously posted on a synchronistic astrological oddity concerning Dick Cheney's natal chart progressed to the morning of 9/11/01 with results which must be seen to be believed – and perhaps not even then.
Nostradamus' predicted 'King of Terror' or 'King of Alarm' Eclipse horoscope chart may be found in the sidebar column of Pages – the Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999, aka the Mother of All Eclipses, and which ushered in the New Millennium.

Whether to perform unilateral or bilateral groin surgery on a child who has a unilateral hernia has been a surgical controversy since the 1955 report of Rothenberg and Barnett1 that stated that at operation 74% of infants and children thought to have a unilateral inguinal hernia actually had "bilateral hernias" in the form of a contralaterally patent processus vaginalis. The processus vaginalis is an outpouching of the peritoneum that accompanies the testes in its descent into the scrotum. Usually the proximal segment of the processus vaginalis obliterates around the time of birth. Failure of obliteration leaves an open peritoneal sac, the patent processus vaginalis, which is the site of a potential indirect inguinal hernia.
Rowe and Clatworthy2 studied the natural history of the patent processus vaginalis in a series of 1,965 infants and children who had a unilateral inguinal hernia and who were subjected to bilateral groin exploration.
