great mountain experience!
super nice home in a great location, had basically all we needed! Would gladly book here again :)
Wonderful Stay
The cottage was perfect. Everything we needed to have a nice comfortable stay. The beds were comfortable and we slept well the entire trip. Kitchen was well stocked and Bill and Sherrie were so helpful with anything we needed. Great location, only a short drive to Grandfather Mtn., Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, great hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway was only about 4 minutes away. We will definitely be back!
Great family place!
The cottage was very neat and clean. We had a wonderful time. It was a great mini vacation for our family. The cottage was right on the river. My son enjoyed walking down to the river and fishing. We would watch him on the nice sized back porch while we were rocking. The kitchen in the cottage was well equipped. The only downfall was the grill, it was a park type charcoal grill and it was not located at the cabin (it was across the driveway). Not a big deal though! Everything else was wonderful!
Honeymoon getaway
My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon, we LOVED it! It's small, very small but beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. Ours was a destination wedding at Grandfather Mountain's Highland Games, so a full kitchen was a must when bringing loads of food for our wedding reception. We were right on the river and spent much of our time on our wonderful back porch in the rocking chairs, watching the birds and chipmunks play and the river flow by... after the stress of planning a wedding, it was the perfect peaceful, restful place to be. Phone signals were bad, no internet, and limited channels on the TV, but that's one of the reasons we liked it, we were "unplugged" for five glorious nights! Bill and Sherri, proprietors, were wonderful hosts, even brought us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our wedding. We will be back next year, I'm sure, for our anniversary.

Welcome To Great Expectations!
Hi, I'm Rebecca Williams, a certified nurse-midwife practicing in the Salt Lake area since 2004. I attend out-of-hospital births in both the home and birth suite setting because I believe women should have safe, wonderful choices regarding their birth experience.
The births I've shared with my families in Utah continue to amaze and humble me. Thank you to all the families who have trusted me with their births. I'm honored to be a part of such a fabulous milestone in your lives.
Women choose an out-of-hospital birth with a certified nurse-midwife because:
Birth Spot Availability
I am booked from now through through December 2016.
For those planning ahead to 2017 and 2018 I'm planning on taking January and February off from births both of those years.
I am receiving so many phone calls a day it is getting harder and harder to find the time to answer all the questions and return all the calls. If your call doesn't get returned try e-mailing and I will do my best to respond. Midwifery is a time intensive job and unfortunately there is a limit to what one can do with the hours in a day.
If you would like to be placed on a wait list in case a space frees up for 2016, please e-mail me [Email address: rebecca #AT# greatexpectationsbc.com - replace #AT# with @ ] with your contact information and due date, and I will let you know if a birth spot becomes available. If you are already one of my clients or we have a prior connection, please give me a call and we will make special arrangements if possible.
Safety Record
Of the 800+ labors I've managed in Utah, I've only had to transfer twenty-one women during labor (none emergently) and seven moms after the birth…. with only six laboring women transferred since 2008.
After 9 1/2 years in Utah I transferred my first baby to the hospital for a non-birth related reason after a lovely birth. I hope at least another 9 1/2 years go by before another little one needs transferred. **** It wasn't the 9 1/2 years that I hoped for…my second baby was transferred exactly one year after the first, after another perfect birth…darn Group Beta Strep. The third baby I transferred was a very unique situation. A very very very quick VBAC birth with the baby born in the car with mild pneumonia. Darn…fourth and fifth baby transferred a few hours after birth for respiratory issues.
My maternal and fetal mortality rate is zero.
The national transfer rate for out-of-hospital births is around 10% for moms and 3% for babies so I've been very fortunate.

SDN, networking monitoring: Challenge or a change for the better?
In SDN network monitoring there are both challenges and the potential for change that will bring network management capabilities to a new level.
This Article Covers
SDN management applications
We often hear that SDN and network virtualization will optimize network performance and bring advanced capabilities to network management. That will be true in the long term, but first we must get through the early stages of these technologies, when the shift in network architecture could make monitoring and visibility even more challenging.
Just For You: Expert Handbook on SD-WAN
As network users' appetite for bandwidth continues to skyrocket, SD-WAN promises to revolutionize the wide area network to deliver better connectivity, reduced complexity, and lower costs. Learn more in our expert handbook.

New challenges in network monitoring
Network monitoring and visibility is getting increasingly more difficult now that IT must support network, server, and storage virtualization, as well user access to cloud-based applications and the migration of the data center to 10 GbE. IT shops need monitoring tools that can peer into both physical and virtual networks, as well as keep up with the speeds of 10 GbE and see applications as they're accessed over virtual desktop infrastructure or through mobile devices.
In SDN, network monitoring gets more complex
SDN's abstraction and separation of the network and control layer adds complexity for network monitoring and visibility tools. Virtualization means that IT must monitor not only the physical network, but also the virtual network and hypervisor traffic.
The ability to program the network via SDN means that applications will be able to "request" network resources, thus requiring the network (and its operators) to ensure this bandwidth is available and that a given request will not impact network reliability, latency or security.
What's more, integration of SDN/virtual networks with legacy physical networks will require tools to model and measure performance and latency, as well as provide comprehensive network mapping that reflects both environments.
Beyond the need to integrate virtual and physical monitoring, today's network requires monitoring capabilities that can keep up with 10 GbE (or more) traffic in real time. It must also provide deep packet inspection (DPI), and the ability to provide this information to the SDN centralized controller for rapid network re-provisioning.
Finally, these tools must also provide improved security functionality that identifies and isolates bad traffic in this new environment. That means these tools must not only capture and analyze huge traffic flows, but also identify actionable information (find the needle in the haystack), and provide either automation problem resolution or clear actionable solutions for network managers.
Where SDN network monitoring has potential
New software-driven products that run commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers will significantly improve network monitoring. These tools can both provide and receive information from SDN controllers, increasing the granularity of what they inspect and what kinds of information are important.
More on SDN and network management
Where SDN and DevOps intersect
Deep Packet Inspection meets SDN
SDN enables deeper policy control
SDN security challenges
In many cases, new Ethernet processors that allow for line rate capture and analysis of 10 GbE traffic are driving this improvement in technology. These tools have enhanced DPI and analytics capabilities and can identify traffic types at line rate. They also have the ability to "deduplicate" traffic for added intelligence to analyze the portion of the traffic that "matters." Finally, some new tools are able to visualize and monitor both physical and virtual networks, as well as devices, users and applications.
This new class of network monitoring and visibility products will help to make network managers' jobs much easier by providing actionable information. These products can improve network performance, reduce latency, isolate bad traffic to improve security and ensure compliance in new ways.
SDN and networking monitoring vendors to watch
At the Open Networking User Group meeting in October, users voted to prioritize SDN use cases for development, and not surprisingly, network monitoring was on the list.
Vendors are already stepping up with new tools. Monitoring and visibility companies to look out for include Gigamon, Netscout, Big Switch, Riverbed, Emulex, Ixia, VSS, Fluke Networks, Sideband, Packet Designs, cPacket and SevOne. Most offer SDN-driven tools and/or tools that specifically work in new network virtualization environments.

Last week, many in the food world took notice when WNYC's The Sporkful launched a series of shows called "Other People's Food" exploring how food, culture, and identity overlap. The question Sporkful's host Dan Pashman asked a number of chefs, academics, and home cooks was: "Is it okay to cook other people's food?"
After hearing from a Korean-American listener who was offended by Pashman's idea to make traditional Korean Bibimbap by heating it in a Bundt pan-shaped stone pot, Pashman decided to dig deeper into the realm of cultural appropriation and race, an area where he admits he had some learning to do.

FEMA Offering Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grants
January 15, 2004
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is making available $3.6 million in Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funds as Disaster Resistant University (DRU) grants to assist universities to implement pre-disaster mitigation programs that reduce overall risk to facilities, research assets, students, and faculty. Applications are due to the appropriate FEMA Regional Office by March 1. The Notice of Funds Availability, grant guidance, and other relevant information is available at http://www.fema.gov/fima/dru.shtm.
FEMA is building on the success of the DRU pilot program in which five institutions made significant mitigation improvements in their campus environments and school-related activities. To view the resulting publication, "Building a Disaster Resistant University," visit http://www.fema.gov/pdf/fima/dru_report.pdf.
New PDM grants to institutions are available through the state emergency management agency, and are also available through federally recognized Indian Tribal governments. State universities are eligible to apply for the grants as sub-applicants. Although private institutions are ineligible applicants, they are encouraged to request an eligible entity, including a state university, submit an application on their behalf. Interested independent institutions and state universities should consult the official designated point of contact in their state or tribe for more information pertaining to their application process. If an organization does not know who to contact, LaBrina Jones at FEMA will provide this information ( firstname.lastname@example.com or 202.646.4331).

Open access to science eprintsTheSparc provides both scientists and the general public free open access to scientific papers that are important for the survival of people and planet
Extensive genome-wide scans have failed to find a single
gene for intelligence; instead, environment and maternal effects may account
for most, if not all correlation among relatives, while identical twins diverge

The heritability of intelligence or IQ (intelligence
quotient, see Box) has been hotly debated for decades. The most recent round of
exchange was provoked by The Bell Curve of Richard Hernstein and Charles
Murray published in 1994. The book argued that IQ tests are an accurate
measure of intelligence, that IQ is a strong predictor of academic and career achievement,
that it is highly heritable and little influenced by the environment, and most
controversially, racial differences in IQ are likely due to the genes. Consequently,
the authors were sceptical about the ability of public policy initiatives to
have much impact on IQ or IQ-related outcomes [1].
What is IQ?
IQ, intelligence quotient,
is a score resulting from one of several standardized tests designed to assess
intelligence. Modern IQ tests were constructed to have a mean score of 100 and
a standard deviation (SD) of 15. Approximately 95 % of the population have
scores within two SDs of the mean i.e., between 70 and 130.
apart from the fierce debate over the heritability of IQ or intelligence, the
claim that IQ assesses intelligence and the validity of any single measure of
intelligence are both strongly contested.
The Bell Curve sold 300
000 copies and attracted a great deal of uncritical media attention. The
American Psychological Association commissioned a report from a panel of
experts rebutting its main claims published in 1996. Now 16 years later, a
second report has been issued to take account of the many new findings, including
the following.
The report does not quite capture the revolution breaking
out in the heartland of genetics.
Simply put, there are no genes
for intelligence in the human genome, however you choose to define intelligence;
and there has been much contention on that alone. For example, recent research
shows that non-intellectual factors such as test motivation can increase IQ
scores by an average of 0.64 SD, with larger effects for individuals with lower
baseline IQ scores [2].
More fundamentally, the heritability
of IQ estimated in the conventional model is now widely seen as deeply flawed. Heritability
– the component of population variation (variance) attributed to genes – has
been inflated by gene interactions, gene-environment interactions and other nonlinear
effects, in the same way that the heritabilities for common diseases have been
inflated (see [3] Mystery
of Missing Heritability Solved? SiS 53). Not only that, the heritability
estimated from resemblance (correlation, covariance) between twins and siblings
could be due to shared environments especially maternal environments.
Even more seriously, the
classical Mendelian inheritance on which all estimates of heritability depends has
been severely compromised by pervasive epigenetic (and environmental cultural)
inheritance. Epigenetic and cultural inheritances often go together, resulting
in correlations between relatives that have been erroneously attributed to shared
genes. On the other hand, epigenetic variations due to individual experiences, and
somatic mutations from a host of DNA marking and changing processes, make even monozygotic
twins diverge genetically from each other to substantial degrees. These
observations strike at the very core of the conventional genetic determinist
The hunt for IQ genes has been inspired by the large
heritability estimated in conventional biometrical models based on correlations
between twins and other biological relatives (see [3]. But the results so far
have been disappointing to say the least.
A genome-wide association study (GWAS)
on 7 000 subjects published in 2008 found only 6 genetic markers (SNPs, single
nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with cognitive ability, and only one of
those remained statistically significant on further tests. Together, the 6
markers explained barely 1 % of the variance in general cognitive ability [4]. Recently,
the association between 12 specific SNPs and 'general intelligence' factor g
was put to test in an attempt to replicate the associations found in earlier
studies, but only 1 SNP remained significant. The researchers conclude that [5]
"most reported genetic associations with general intelligence are probably
false positives."
As in the case of common disease traits [2],
IQ or intelligence is plagued by the problem of "missing heritability". Even
the heritability of human height, estimated at ~90 %, failed to turn up common
variants contributing more than 0.5 cm; and the set of 180 height-associated
SNPs identified by the most comprehensive meta-analysis (on pooled data from
many studies) only explains about 10 % of the population variance.
The usual explanation for the missing
heritability is that it is difficult to detect genetic variants with a small
effect. In the case of intelligence, much is made of the findings in a new
study led by researchers at Edinburgh University in the UK, which claims to [6]
"establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic". The
group first used data from five different GWAS and failed to identify any
individual marker associated with either 'crystallized' or 'fluid' intelligence.
(Crystallized intelligence is the individual's store of knowledge about the
nature of the world and learned operations such as arithmetic that can be drawn
upon to solve problems; while fluid intelligence is the ability to solve novel
problems that depend relatively little on stored knowledge as well as the
ability to learn). They then applied a new method that tests the cumulative
effects of all the SNPs, essentially by calculating the overall genetic
similarity between each pair of individuals in a sample, and then correlating
this genetic similarity with phenotypic similarity (in IQ) across all the
pairs. The result is that all the ~550 000 SNPs together could jointly
explain 40 % of the variation in crystallized intelligence and 51 % of the
variation in fluid intelligence. This exercise sounds more like a counsel of
despair than a solution to the problem, and the result certainly does not offer
any useful predictive information.
Other researchers are tackling the problem at
the more fundamental level of the heritability estimates.
One of the first rebuttal to The Bell Curve came from
Bernard Devlin and colleagues at University of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the
United States in a paper published in Nature in 1997 [7]. They showed
that covariance (correlation) between relatives may not be due only to genes,
but also to shared environment, especially maternal environment, which is not
taken into account in conventional models. In a meta-analysis of 212 previous
studies supplemented with twin studies published after 1981, Devlin and
colleagues showed that an alternative model with two maternal womb
environments, one for twins - both monozygotic and (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) - and
another for siblings, fit the data much better.
Maternal effects, often assumed
to be negligible, account for 20 % of the covariance between twins and 5 %
between siblings, thereby correspondingly reducing the effects of genes, so the
two measures of heritability were both less than 50 %: the broad and narrow
sense heritability were 48 % and 34 % respectively.
The shared maternal environment
may explain the striking correlation between the IQs of twins, especially adult
twins reared apart. It also accounts for age-effects: an apparent increase in
heritability with age. Devlin and colleagues pointed out that cultural
inheritance and interaction between genes and environment may also be at work to
boost the apparent heritability of intelligence.
There is substantial brain growth in utero,
and the brain has 70 % of its final mass within a year of birth. IQ is known
to be affected by prenatal environment: it is positively correlated with birth
weight. Twins usually weigh less than singletons, and score on average 4-7
points lower on IQ tests.
Devlin and colleagues rejected Herrstein and
Murray's conclusion; instead, they believed that "Interventions aimed at
improving the prenatal environment could lead to a significant increase in the
population's IQ."
Devlin and colleagues may well have underestimated
the shared maternal environment for MZ twins, which in addition to sharing the
same womb as for DZ twins, usually share the same placenta, and more
importantly, originate from the same egg with common cytoplasmic components,
including mitochondrial DNA and transcripts and gene products that control
early embryonic development [8]. Common cytoplasmic effects will be expected to
further reduce heritability estimates.
Nancy Segal and colleagues at California State University
Fullerton in the United States have pioneered the study of behaviour in
'virtual twins' (VTs): same-age, unrelated siblings reared together since
infancy. VTs replicate the rearing environment of twins but without the genetic
relatedness, thereby enabling direct assessment of shared environmental effects
on behaviour. Virtual twins are created in adoption, in which infants were
adopted before one year of age; the unrelated sibling differing by less than 9
months in age, attend the same school grade, the pair being free of adverse
birth events, and at least 4 years old. The foster homes are predominantly
upper-middle class.
In an updated analysis of IQ data
based on a sample of 142 VT pairs, the VTs mean IQ score was 105.83 (SD = 13.37)
and correlation between VTs is 0.28 (p < .001), showing a substantial
contribution of rearing environment during infancy [9].
The mean IQ score of the
biological siblings exceeded that of the adopted siblings and when the paired
data for members of 49 adopted-biological pairs were examined, biological
children scored 113.08 (SD = 14.64), whereas adopted children scored 105.67 (SD
12.53), a difference of 7.41 points.
Significantly, there was greater
similarity in IQ scores between adopted-biological than adopted-adopted pairs,
resulting in correlations of 0.47 vs 0.1. Similar results have been found by
other research groups, suggesting that the environmental stimulation from a
high-IQ biological child may also enhance adopted sibling's IQs. The IQ correlation
of the adopted-biological pairs (0.47, p < .001) approaches that of DZ twins
(0.46) and full siblings (0.47) reported by others.
The research of Segal's group
that Devlin's group together makes it highly likely that common rearing
environment during infancy and maternal effects could account for most, if not
all the heritability in IQ that has been attributed to genes.
The higher IQ scores of the biological children relative to
the adopted children observed by Segal's team [9] are not surprising in view of
the predominance of upper middle class parents in the study, whereas adopted
children are predominantly from parents of lower socioeconomic status (SES).
Studies dating to the 1990s have shown that adopted children typically score 12
points or higher than siblings left with birth parents or children adopted by
lower SES parents [1]. A meta-analysis carried out in 2005 found an average
effect of adoption of 18 points when extremely deprived institutional settings
were included in the comparison [10].
What correlates SES with IQ?
There are marked differences beginning in infancy, between the environment of
higher SES families and lower SES families in factors that are likely to
influence intellectual growth, including nutritional status, which will be
considered in the next article in this series ( [11] How
to Improve the Brain Power & Health of a Nation, SiS 53). A
study published in 1995 [12] showed that by the age of three, a child of
professional parents would have heard 30 million words spoken, while a child of
working-class parents would have heard 20 million words, and a child of
unemployed African American mothers would have heard 10 million words. The
child of professional parents received six encouragements for every reprimand,
the child of working-class parents received two encouragements per reprimand,
and the child of unemployed African American mothers received two reprimands for
every encouragement. These findings were extended using HOME technique (Home
Observation for Measurement of the Environment) (see [1]). HOME researchers
assess family environments for the amount of intellectual stimulation: how much
parents talk to the child, how much access to books, magazines, newspaper, and
computers, how much the parents read to the child, how many learning
experiences outside the home (trips to museums, visits to friends); degree of
warmth of parents versus punitive behaviour towards the child, etc. Very
substantial association was found between HOME scores and IQ scores: a 1 SD
difference in summed HOME scores is associated with a 9 point difference in IQ.
These studies do not separate genetic and environmental contributions, but as
the authors of the new report of the American Psychological Association
commented [1]: "It is almost surely the case, however, that a substantial
fraction of the IQ advantage is due to the environments independent of the
genes associated with them." That is because of the knowledge that adoption
adds 12-18 points to the IQ of unrelated children, who are usually from lower
SES backgrounds.
Shared environmental effect on IQ
applies not just to children. According to a review of six well-conducted
studies, share environment effect in adulthood is about 0.16 on average.
Consequently, most if not all
twin studies, especially studies of adults, overestimate heritability of IQ,
especially as lower SES individuals are difficult to recruit to laboratories
and testing sites.
Human population geneticist Marcus Feldman and his
colleagues Stanford University California in the US and University of Aarhus in
Denmark noted that current models are strictly based on Mendelian genetics, failing
to consider non-Mendelian epigenetic modifications of genes in response to environmental
states (see [13] Epigenetic
Inheritance - What Genes Remember and other articles in the series, SiS
41, also [14, 15] Mismatch
of RNA to DNA Widespread, and How Food Affects
Genes, SiS 53). These epigenetic modifications usually do not
involve DNA base sequence alterations and are hence not detected in SNP scans;
they are also independent of SNP variations. Instead, they involve chemical markings
of DNA or histone proteins that bind to DNA, or other mechanisms that change
the state of expression of certain genes. Epigenetic modifications are often
passed on to subsequent generations.
Feldman and colleagues addressed
the problem at the level of biometrical models by extending the models to
include epigenetic and environmental effects [16].
They found that variation in epigenetic state
and environmental state can result in highly heritable phenotypes through a
combination of epigenetic and environmental inheritance. These two inheritance
processes together can produce familial covariances (correlations)
significantly greater than those predicted by models of purely epigenetic
inheritance, and similar to those expected from genetic effects. The results
suggest that epigenetic variation, inherited both directly, and through shared
environmental effects, may make a key contribution to the missing heritability.
In other words, epigenetic and environmental
effects working together can account for practically all the variation now
attributed to the genes.
Chief among environmental effects
is cultural inheritance. Feldman and colleagues referred to the aggregation of
the disease Kuru in families of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea due to the
ingestion of a prion protein (infectious protein agent) during funeral
rituals in which dead relatives or close acquaintances are consumed. This case
of purely cultural inheritance was originally mistaken for a genetic disorder
because of high disease correlations between relatives.
A well-studied case of
environmental epigenetic inheritance is the mother's licking-grooming of
offspring in mice, which induces epigenetic changes in the offspring,
influencing its response to stress as adults, and perpetuates the maternal
behaviour in her female offspring (see [17] Caring
Mothers Strike Fatal Blow against Genetic Determinism, SiS 41). This
results in highly-correlated behaviour between mother and offspring in both
maternal behaviour and response to stress as adults, even though the epigenetic
modifications are erased during early embryogenesis. Consequently,
cross-adoption between mothers with high and low licking-grooming behaviour
will break the biological mother-offspring correlations in a single generation.
As noted above, biometrical genetics models are based on
classical Mendelian inheritance, in which genes are immune to direct or
predictable environmental influence and passed on unchanged to the next
generation except for rare random mutations. The old paradigm has been discredited
at least as far back as the late 1970s (see [18, 19] Genetic Engineering Dream or Nightmare
and Living with the Fluid
Genome, ISIS publications), long before the Human Genome Project was
In the post-genomics era, an increasing
number of geneticists have begun to take notice of non-Mendelian inheritance
and its invalidation of the basic tenets of biometrical genetics.
In a paper about to be published
in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Evan Charney at Duke University speaks
of a 'paradigm shift' in the science of genetics. He points to recent
discoveries of numerous processes that create extensive mutations in genome
sequences and structure, as well as epigenetic modifications, which are
completely at odds with the Mendelian model of inheritance underpinning
heritability estimates [8]. Individuals do not have genes that are immutable
throughout life, nor do they have the same genes in every cell of the body. He
highlights retrotransposons – jumping genes that replicate and integrate
themselves into different sites in the genome – which alter the sequence and
state of activity of many genes; copy number variation and chromosomal
abnormalities (aneuploidy) similarly, occur frequently in somatic cells as well
as germ cells, both as part of normal development and in response to noxious
environmental stimuli. Different tissues show distinctly different propensity
for change; brain cells being especially prone to such modifications. These
add to the already large repertoire of epigenetic modifications that modify
genes in response to environmental stimuli (see [11, 13-15, 18, 19] most
notably in the brain [20] Rewriting the Genetic
Text in Human Brain Development, SiS 41).
The fundamental assumption of twin studies -
that monozygotic twins share 100 % of their genes – is demonstrably false. MZ
twins differ, to begin with, in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) complement
allocated in cell division of the original oocyte that generated the twins. The
oocyte may have had different sets of mtDNA, a condition referred to as
heteroplasmy. MZ twins diverge substantially in epigenetic modifications as
well as retrotransposition, copy number variations and aneuploidy throughout
life. Although the numerous processes that alter genomes occur in normal
development, perhaps as part of 'natural genetic engineering' [17, 18], the same
processes are known to be involved in many behavioural, psychiatric, and
neurodegenerative diseases, leaving us in no doubt that they have phenotypic
consequences [8].
In addition, stochastic nonlinear
developmental changes account for substantial divergence in the activities of
different brain regions between twins [21].
No genes for
intelligence can be found in the human genome. Instead, common environments,
including maternal and rearing environments, along with epigenetic and cultural
inheritance create substantial correlations between genetically unrelated
individuals, while even 'identical twins' diverge genetically and
epigenetically throughout life.
The fundamentally circular
causation between genes and environment makes it futile to separate genetic
from environmental contributions to development (see [22] Development
and Evolution Revisited, ISIS scientific publication). Consequently, we must
redouble all efforts at appropriate interventions to improve the mental and
physical wellbeing of the nation ([22, 23] How
to Improve the Brain Power & Health of a Nation, SiS 53).

Akuta was the leader of the Vaalian natives of Gamma Trianguli VI. He was known as the eyes of Vaal, the machine that controlled and provided for Akuta's people. He wore antennae, given to him in the dim time, by which he received commands from Vaal.
When crewmembers from the USS Enterprise transported to the planet in 2267, Akuta spied on them before he was caught by Kirk, who subdued him. Akuta surprised the members of the Enterprise landing party when he started to cry. He, like the rest of his people, was childlike and backward, although they were in perfect health, and didn't seem to be aging at all. Akuta then took the landing party to Vaal.
Akuta was ordered by Vaal to destroy the away team. Akuta showed the other Vaalians how to do this by smashing a melon with a stick. He led the people in an attack against the away team, and they killed one member before they were subdued.
After the Enterprise destroyed Vaal, Captain Kirk spoke to Akuta and his people explaining that they were now free to learn to take care of themselves. (TOS: "The Apple")
The novel No Time Like the Past depicts Akuta meeting a temporally and space displaced Seven of Nine. He disobeys the order to feed her to Vaal.

|While groceries are available in the Sun Peaks Village at the BlueBird Market and at Roxy's (for more natural foods items), we stop in Kamloops at the SaveOn Foods market (from the Columbia Street exit) - they will have everything you need and are open til 10pm daily - there is also a Safeway and they are open even later! There is a wine & spirits shop in the Village - or you can visit the Liquor Store in Kamloops that's in the same parking lot as SavOn Foods. There is also a Costco on Hwy 5 as you come into Kamloops from the South - it's not open late, so check their current open hours at costco.ca.

Second year in a row staying at this unit and 3rd time at Trails Edge. Location is perfect for ski in and out and condo has lots of space for 9-11 people. Less than 10 minute walk to Village. Not having to take garbage to the dump and allowed to leave recyclables is also a bonus as some condos don't have that option. Only negatives were coffee maker being on the blink (was a recent issue) and barbecue undersized for a unit with room for 11 hungry people.View Full Review

Great place to stay! Unit has 8 separate beds, 3 full baths and a half bath. The hot tub and foosball table were both used regularly. Ski in was super easy and ski out is good as well.
We did accidentally break the coffee carafe. When we called the property management company, they were very friendly and brought us a replacement right away. I was very impressed that the hot tub was serviced daily. Most other places we've been, they come once throughout the week. We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen was well equipped. All the utensiles, pots and pans were in great shape and good quality.
Thanks for a great stay!View Full Review Owner Has Responded

Hi Uncle Joe,
Thank you so much for allowing us to use your condo this past weekend. Everyone had an absolute blast. We got in two great days of skiing and had a great time exploring the village. The conditions were beautiful. It had been probably 8-10 years since I was last at Sun Peaks. I had forgotten how much I like it there, I can't wait to go back. And my friends were petitioning me to schedule another weekend getaway next winter.

Having never booked a trip like this before I emailed the owner with a lot of questions before booking. The owner was always polite and answered all of my questions. The home was exactly as described. It was the perfect layout for families staying together. Clean, spacious, and included all the basics in the kitchen and bathroom that you could need. It was a nice walking distance to the main village. Would absolutely stay there again.
Perfect for a big group! Very spacious. Excellent Location.
heliwrench from Vancouver, BC

We had a fabulous family get together with 10 of us spending 3 nights at this great townhouse. We had two people in each of the upstairs bedrooms and 4 on the bunks downstairs. The twin over queen bunk upstairs and the 4 adult sized, sturdy bunks downstairs present all sorts of different options for sleeping arrangements. It should be noted that there is no separate 4th bedroom downstairs where the bunks are, it is a large rec room. This is not a problem at all, especially if kids or a mixed bag of people are sleeping on the bunks. There is a full bath downstairs next to the rec room, which is very handy. The rec room also has a quality foosball table and a comfy couch as well as a fireplace next to door to the private hot tub. Even with 10 people, the living room, large dining room table and U shaped kitchen were plenty large enough for big meals together and evening board games. A half bath/powder room is near the front door. The main floor deck with BBQ would be awesome in the summer! Upstairs, the master suite is a decent size with TV and a large shower. The two other bedrooms share a full bath off the hallway. We had four vehicles with our group, and we put one in the garage and the other three in the extra spots to either side of the unit. The village is easily walked to and it is very easy to ski in and out. Skiing out is done to the Morrisey Lift, which has its own ticket window available. The nordic and snowshoe trail head is accessed near the Morisey Lift as well. This makes the complex positioned is one of the best locations in Sun Peaks. All in all, a great stay!


text: I took Eli to the dr and we are getting a referral to the allergist/asthma dr. She agree's it is most likely allergies and allergy induced asthma. She also said that not all asthma has the wheeze. She said that in the types I'm looking at we would only see the cough. And Eli did perfect and coughed on cue. LOL Thanks for the encouragement.

An exercise in office improvisation
WE all know that regular exercise is vital for better work-life balance, but how do you keep yourself fit at an office job?
While there are collective aerobics sessions and company gyms for some people, not everyone has access to the latest in exercise equipment. Here are a few helpful hints:
1. Pedal Desk
Have you ever been sitting at your desk, wishing you could feel like you were going somewhere without actually leaving? Introduce yourself to the Pedal Desk, or you can even make one yourself. Buy yourself a cheap racing bike and saw out the middle of the frame (where the pedals are). Simple solder that part of bike on to a metal stand and pedal while you type. And, as you're not actually going anywhere, it's significantly safer than texting while you drive.
2. Coffee
Nothing gets you fit like a regular walk, and there's no walk more regular than the path from your desk to the bathroom. Drinking four or five coffees every morning will keep your bladder full and set your internal clock to an hourly schedule. Sure, not everyone likes coffee, but that doesn't mean you can't simply use water! If walking to the bathroom is the most exercise you get at work, this will help you up your routine.
3. Yoga
Everybody hates meetings: they're dull, repetitive and can really strain working relationships. On the other hand, everybody loves the dull repetition of straining themselves at yoga, so why not combine the two? Substitute your boardroom table for a circle of yoga mats, and you'll find your working environment becomes far more flexible.
4. Chair Skates
A good office chair has five solid wheels, that's one more than a conventional roller skate. By strapping one to each foot, you can dash about the office with style and pizzazz while working out those thighs, calves and glutes. Of course the possibility of injuring yourself increases insurmountably, so it might be best to run it by your OHS representative first. If you're self-employed, however, then go for your life!
5. Nose Typing
Do your forearms ache from repetitive strain injury? Your hands are just two of the many appendages you have at your disposal for typing. Strap a stylus to your nose or the middle of your face with sticky-tape and tack, so you can type out a memo while giving your RSI time to recover. As an added bonus, you'll be strengthening the trapezius muscles in your neck and shoulders, and improving flexibility in your spine. You might think this is a bit of a nonsense suggestion, but remember that the nose-stylus has been around since 2011. Originally invented to help you use your smartphone in the bath, why not use it for some face exercise?
6. Facial Contortions
Overacting with surprise to literally everything you hear will not only amuse your colleagues, but it will give your face muscles and eyebrows a much-needed workout:
"Jess, could you please print me out the report on John Smith"
After a few months of that, you'll have a rippling forehead and a jaw like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
7. Paperweight Lifting
Anyone who has had to refill an industrial photocopier will tell you that it's exhausting. You have to find a new ream of paper, carry it to the photocopier and restart. So why not spend 10 minutes of every day doing just that? And by emptying, then refilling the paper tray, you'll double your exercise reps without disrupting the work flow of your office.
(To mix it up: try using the A3 tray. Or different coloured paper.)
TELL US: What's the most unusual bit of workplace exercise you've ever seen? Do you have your own unusual methods? Share them with us!
There are literally tens of exercises you can do to improve your fitness around the office. Let your imagination go wild! Sure, you might look a bit silly, raise some eyebrows around the office, or even have a co-worker ask if "everything is alright at home" – but just remember, someone actually invented the nose-stylus.

why reds tie the padres in 1980 6-6 with four off bob shirley why no denoument? And what did Rick Auerbach do in his time at bat?
why reds tie the padres in 1980 6-6 with four off bob shirley why no denoument? And what did Rick Auerbach do in his time at bat?
Rich Auerbach pinch hit for Dave Tomlin in the 9th and flew out to left.At Cincinnati' three rain delays and a 4-run 9th for the Reds adds up to a 6-6 tie with the Padres. The game is called at 2:30 a.m.
I suspect that since the game didn't matter in the standings, it was never concluded, but having played nine innings, it's still considered a complete game.
Was the fly out a long parabola or a line drive. What was the spin on the ball. Did the outfielder have to move a great deal to catch it. Did he catch it in the webbing of his glove or the pocket. These are the significant questions that need to be answered!!
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
