Explore Thetford Forest
In the heart of the largest lowland pine forest in the UK you'll find miles of trails which are great for walkers, cyclists, orienteering runners, horse riders, birdwatchers, or if you're just looking for the perfect picnic spot or hoping to see the forest's red deer.
To really discover what's on offer and the exciting events taking place in Thetford Forest start at the High Lodge Forest Centre. Here you can pick up useful information on the best places to explore, what wildlife to look out for, where you can have your picnic and purchase guides to make the most of your visit. There is also a play area for children, a shop and restaurant.
Within Thetford Forest, there are plenty of activities and attractions for all the family. For the energetic visit Go Ape!, an assault course of ropes swings and zip slides set in the glorious Norfolk woodland, or hire bikes to discover the woodland at your own pace.
There are 26 walking trails around the forest for all to enjoy. For family fun enjoy the Giant Play Sculpture Trail or for wildlife enthusiasts, stroll through the rich woodland keeping your eyes peeled for shy deer. Each walk is clearly marked and most are suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs. You could also discover the Pingo Trail, unique to this area.
You can hire mountain bikes at the High Lodge Forest Centre and join one of the organised rides, or take your own bike and explore the forest at your leisure. There is a variety of routes to choose from with something for all abilities. Graded by colour, the Green Trail is a gentle route and great for all the family with wide tracks and fairly level ground while the Black Trail is for the experienced rider covering around 11 miles across various terrains.
Thetford Forest has an open access policy for horse riders making them welcome throughout the park.
The site of Lynford in Thetford Forest, where a group of gravel pits are located on a flood plain terrace on the south bank of the River Wissey, is one of the best preserved late Middle Palaeolithic sites in Britain and the most important Neanderthal site in the whole of the British Isles.
In 2002 archaeological investigation revealed evidence of early human activity in direct association with mammoth bones dating back 65,000 years. Black flint handaxes were found within the same layer of sediment as the remains of at least nine Woolly Mammoths, marking Lynford as the only recorded mammoth butchery site in Britain.
You could also take a trip out to Grimes Graves, a fascinating Neolithic flint mine and displays and the UK's first industrial site. For the brave visitor, descend 9 metres into an excavated mine for an incredible experience.

So it's been 10 weeks now and I, starting 2 days ago for the first time, stopped pumping. My milk never came in at first and my baby would neeeever latch on right no matter what I did! He acted like he couldnt find my nipple, even if he was latched on right and I ALWAYS felt like I was smothering him with my DDD boobs ):. Also, the feeling of bfing was just a lil uncomfortable for me. :shrug So I started pumping, but my milk supply never increased, the most I have ever gotten was 1.5 oz (yes, combined from BOTH breasts!) about 3 wks after delivery. For the last month I got 20mL or less. It was pathetic! Now I dont even have enough to cover the bottom of bottle so I stopped. But I am desperate! I feel guilty feeding him formula and all I want is for him to have his Mommy's milk! I even tried Fenugreek, 16 pills a day, to no avail. Im 16, and still in high school and I just don't know how I could relactate but like I said, I'm desperate I will try anything. I can't do the 'camp-out' idea because I can't miss school, so does anyone have any ideas? I need to balance trying to get milk back with school. :cry
Sorry for writing a novel, I didn't know where to turn to besides LLL!

Amelia Island/Jacksonville, FL area
My wife won an all expenses paid weekend away to Amelia Island, FL next weekend and her work has offered to pay for us to take a fishing trip one day. Has anyone on here ever fished in the backwater or intracoastal waterways in this area? I have heard that our primary target this time of year will be redfish, shark, and some smaller (35 - 50 lb)tarpon.
I would suggest contacting Black Fly Outfitters in St. Augustine. It is owned by Vaughn and Jean Cochran, who used to live here in the Keys (actually across the canal from me). Vaughn used to guide and now is a full time artist, and they both run the store. You can easily find them online, I don't know their number off hand. They should be able to steer you in the right direction in terms of a guide in that part of the state. They are good people, much like the folks at Little River Outfitters. Good Luck.
Amelia Island and the WORST Guide I ever had
I have been to Amelia Island 3 times. I hired a guide that my son and I still laugh about to this day although it was not too funny at the time. Started out I had to jump start his boat from my car secondary to dead battery(not really a problem). Next he proceeded to loose patience with my then 11 year old who was trying to cast an 8wt rod for the first time, then yelled at me throughout the morning mostly because I couldn't cast 80ft (no joke) with one false cast! NOT that way GD! You dropped your wrist, you turned your wrist, your arm was too far back..........on and on it went. I did manage to catch a 10# redfish later in the AM and then I called it quits. BTW, he did not offer any conversation to me or my son the entire trip other than to tell me when I was putting some sunscreen on my son's face " don't use that stuff..just let him burn and get a good base"
PS..Captain %*@$&%!, and previous "Orvis guide of the year" apparently. My now 18 year old just walked in and read this and said "the guys a jerk".

sweet succinct GT Rady! nice to include C8's video of top plays, methinks a homage perhaps...
- the gif of Iman/Big Ben is classic!
- dig the Mystro tunes, thanks for that.
even if Shump only plays 3/4 minutes at a time, his presence is going to help immensely.
anything he does on the O or D is going to be celebrated by Knicks and fans alike.
I like yr possible starting lineup with Cope/Shump/Kidd/Melo/Chandler.
with STAT/JR getting 30, and Novak/Prig getting their minutes, this already formidable
squad just got much better.
gotta be weird for Shump, first game back in a totally unfamiliar place. cool vibes for
Melo/Chandler, back to their palace of greatness.
Good luck to all KO members in attendance! have a great time, wave to the cameras,
take pics, and say hi to Clyde for me.
God save the Queen! We mean it, man!

Python Programming On Win32
An excerpt from Chapter 20: GUI Development, from Python Programming on Win32. This is the first of three excerpts covering Tkinter, PythonWin, and wxPython. This excerpt only covers Tkinter.
In this chapter, we examine the various options for developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Python.
We will look in some detail at three of the GUI toolkits that operate on the Windows platform: Tkinter, PythonWin, and wxPython. Each of these GUI toolkits provide a huge range of facilities for creating user interfaces, and to completely cover any of these toolkits is beyond the scope of this single chapter. Each framework would need its own book to do it justice.
Our intent in this chapter is to give you a feel for each of these GUI frameworks, so you can understand the basic model they use and the problems they were designed to address. We take a brief tour of each of these toolkits, describing their particular model and providing sample code along the way. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision about which toolkit to use in which situation, have a basic understanding of how your application will look, and where it will run when finished.
The authors need to express their gratitude to Gary Herron for the Tkinter section, and Robin Dunn for the wxPython section. Their information helped us complete this chapter.
Tkinter is the Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit current maintained by Scriptics (http://www.scriptics.com). Tkinter has become the de facto standard GUI toolkit for Python due mainly to its cross-platform capabilities; it presents a powerful and adaptable GUI model across the major Python platforms, including Windows 95/98/NT, the Macintosh, and most Unix implementations and Linux distributions.
This section gives a short description of the capabilities of Tkinter, and provides a whirlwind tour of the more important aspects of the Tkinter framework. To effectively use Tkinter, you need a more thorough description than is provided for here. Fredrik Lundh has made an excellent introduction to Tkinter programming available at http://www.pythonware.com/library.htm, and at time of printing a Tkinter book by Fredrik has just been announced, so may be available by the time you read this. For more advanced uses of Tkinter, you may need to refer directly to the Tk reference manual, available from the Scriptics site.
Two Python applications, tkBrowser and tkDemo, accompany this section. TkBrowser is a Doubletalk application, providing several views and some small editing capabilities of Doubletalk
BookSets; TkDemo demonstrates a simple use of the core Tk user interface elements. Both applications are too large to include in their entirety, so where relevant, we include snippets.
There's some new terminology with Tkinter, defined here for clarity:
Before we launch into Tkinter programming, a brief discussion of the pros and cons of Tkinter will help you decide if Tkinter may be the correct GUI toolkit for your application. The following are often given as advantages of Tkinter:
To balance things, here's a list of what's often mention as weaknesses in Tkinter:
Although many individuals could (and no doubt will) argue with some individual points on this list, it tends to reflects the general consensus amongst the Python community. Use this only as a guide to assist you in your decision-making process.
Tkinter applications are normal Python scripts, but there are a couple of complications worth knowing about when running graphical applications under Windows. These are discussed in Chapter 3, of Python on Windows, but are important enough to reiterate here; what we say in this section applies equally to wxPython later in this chapter.
The standard Python.exe that comes with Python is known as a console application (this means it has been built to interact with a Windows console, otherwise known as a DOS box or command prompt). Although you can execute your Tkinter programs using Python.exe, your program will always be associated with a Windows console. It works just fine, but has the following side effects:
To get around this problem, Python comes with a special GUI version called Pythonw.exe. This is almost identical to the standard Python.exe, except it's not a console program, so doesn't suffer the problems described previously.
There are two drawbacks to this approach. The first is that .py files are automatically associated with Python.exe. As we saw in Chapter 3, this makes it simple to execute Python programs, but does present a problem when you want to use Pythonw.exe. To solve this problem, Python automatically associates the .pyw extension with Pythonw.exe ; thus, you can give GUI Python applications a .pyw extension, and automatically execute them from Windows Explorer, the command prompt, and so forth.
The second drawback is that because Pythonw.exe has no console, any tracebacks printed by Python aren't typically seen. Although Python prints the traceback normally, the lack of a console means it has nowhere useful to go. To get around this problem, you may like to develop your application using Python.exe (where the console is an advantage for debugging) but run the final version using Pythonw.exe.
The easiest way to get a feel for Tkinter is with the ever popular "Hello World!" example. The result of this little program is shown in Figure 20-1.
from sys import exit
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Button(root, text='Hello World!', command=exit).pack()
As you can see, apart from the
import statements, there are only three lines of interest. The
root variable is set to the default top-level window automatically created by Tk, although applications with advanced requirements can customize the top-level frames. The code then creates a Tkinter button object, specifying the parent (the
root variable), the text for the button, and the command to execute when clicked. We discuss the
pack() method later in this section. Finally, turn control over to the main event-processing loop, which creates the Windows on the screen and dispatches user-interface events.
From the extreme simplicity of the "Hello World" example, the other end of the scale could be considered the
tkDemo sample included with this chapter. Although space considerations prevent us from examining this sample in detail, Figure 20-2 should give you an indication of the capabilities offered by Tkinter.
Tkinter implements a fairly small set of core widgets, from which other widgets or complete applications can be based. Table 20-1 lists these core widgets with a short description of how they are used.
Widget Name
Toplevel widgets are special in that they have no master widget and don't support any of the geometry-management methods (as discussed later). All other widgets are directly or indirectly associated with a Toplevel widget.
Used as a container widget for other child widgets. For instance, the tkDemo example consists of a number of frames within frames within frames to achieve its particular layout.
Displays text or images.
Displays text with automatic line-break and justification capabilities.
Displays text with advanced formatting, editing, and highly interactive capabilities.
Displays graphical items from a display list, with highly interactive capabilities.
Standard simple entry widgets, also known as the
Widgets for implementing and responding to menus.
Quite a few of these widgets are demonstrated in the tkBrowser sample, and every one gets an exercise in the tkDemo sample, so you are encouraged to experiment with these samples to get a feel for the capabilities of each widget. Of these widgets, we will discuss two of the most popular and powerful in more detail: the Text and Canvas widgets.
The Text widget provides for the display and editing of text, as you would expect from a text control. The Text widget is also capable of supporting embedded images and child windows, but the real power of the text control can be found in its support of indexes, tags, and marks:
insert, which defines the current insertion point.
The Canvas widget displays graphical items, such as lines, arcs, bitmaps, images, ovals, polygons, rectangles, text strings, or arbitrary Tkinter widgets. Like the Text widget, the Canvas widget implements a powerful tagging system, allowing you to associate any items on the canvas with a name.
Many useful widgets are actually built from the core widgets. The most common example is the dialog widget, and recent versions of Tkinter provide some new sophisticated dialog widgets similar to the Windows common dialogs. In many cases when running on Windows, the standard Windows dialog is used.
Many of these dialogs come in their own module. Table 20-2 lists the common dialog box modules and their functionality.
Module Name
Simple message box related dialogs, such as Yes/No, Abort/Retry/Ignore, and so forth.
Contains base classes for building your own dialogs, and also includes a selection of simple input dialogs, such as asking for a string, integer, or float value.
A dialog with functionality very close to the Windows common file dialogs.
A dialog for choosing a color.
There are many other widgets available; both included with the Tkinter package, and also available externally. One interesting and popular source of Tkinter widgets can be found in the Python megawidgets (
Pmw) package. This package comes with excellent documentation and sample code and can be found at http://www.dscpl.com.au/pmw/.
In most cases, you build your own dialogs by deriving them from the
tkSimpleDialog.Dialog. Our tkBrowser sample defines an
EditTransaction class that shows an example of this.
Tkinter provides a flexible and powerful attribute set for all widgets. Almost all attributes can be set at either widget-creation time or once the widget has been created and displayed. Although Tkinter provides obvious attributes for items such as the color, font, or visible state of a widget, the set of enhanced attributes for widgets is usually the key to tapping the full potential of Tkinter.
Tkinter makes heavy use of Python keyword arguments when specifying widget attributes. A widget of any type (for instance a Label) is constructed with code similar to:
w = Label(master, option1=value1, option2=value2,...)
And once constructed, can be reconfigured at any time with code like:
w.configure(option1=value1, option2=value2, ...)
For a specific example, you can create a label with the following code:
label = Label(parent, background='white',
text='Hello World!',
And provide an annoying blinking effect by periodic execution of:
There are dozens of options that can be specified for each widget. Table 20-3 lists a few common properties available for each widget.
The height and width of the widget in pixels.
The color of the widget as a string. You can specify a color by name (for example, red
A 3D appearance for the object (
Width of the border, in pixels.
The Window text (i.e., the caption) for the widget and additional formatting options for multiline widgets.
The font that displays the text. This can be in a bewildering array of formats: some platform-independent and some platform-dependent. The most common form is a tuple containing font name, point size, and style (for example,
Techniques used by control widgets to communicate back to the application. The
There are also dozens of methods available for each widget class, and the Tkinter documentation describes these in detail, but there is one important method we mention here because it's central to the Tkinter event model.
bind() method is simple, but provides an incredible amount of power by allowing you to bind a GUI event to a Python function. It takes two parameters, the event you wish to bind to (specified as a string) and a Python object to be called when the event fires.
The power behind this method comes from the specification of the event. Tkinter provides a rich set of events, ranging from keyboard and mouse actions to Window focus or state changes. The specification of the event is quite intuitive (for example, <Key> binds any key, <Ctrl-Alt-Key-Z> is a very specific key, <Button-1> is a the first mouse-button click, and so forth) and covers over 20 basic event types. You should consult the Tkinter reference guides for a complete set of events supported by Windows and a full description of the Tkinter event model.
Tkinter provides a powerful concept typically not found in Windows GUI toolkits, and that is geometry management. Geometry management is the technique used to lay out child widgets in their parent (for example, controls in a dialog box). Most traditional Windows environments force you to specify the absolute position of each control. Although this is specified in dialog units rather than pixels and controls can be moved once created, Tkinter provides a far more powerful and flexible model.
Tkinter widgets provide three methods for geometry management,
grid(), or
place() is the simplest mechanism and similar to what most Windows users are used to; each widget has its position explicitly specified, either in absolute or relative coordinates. The
grid() mechanism, as you may expect, automatically aligns the widgets in a grid pattern, while the
pack() method is the most powerful and the most commonly used. When widgets are packed, they are automatically positioned based on the size of the parent and the other widgets already placed. All of these techniques allow customization of the layout process, such as the padding between widgets.
These geometry-management capabilities allow you to define user interfaces that aren't tied to particular screen resolutions and can automatically resize and layout controls as the window size changes, capabilities that most experienced Windows user-interface programmers will know are otherwise difficult to achieve. Our two samples (described next) both make extensive use of the
pack() method, while the tkDemo sample also makes limited use of
We have included a sample Doubletalk browser written in Tkinter. This is a fully functional transaction viewer and editor application and is implemented in tkBrowser.py. This implements a number of features that demonstrate how to build powerful applications in Tkinter. A number of dialogs are presented, including the transaction list, and the detail for each specific transaction. To show how simple basic drawing and charting is, a graphical view of each account is also provided. Rather than labor over the details of this sample, the best thing to do is just to run it. Then once you have a feel for the functionality, peruse the source code to see the implementation. There are ample comments and documentation strings included less than 700 lines of source. Figure 20-4 shows our final application in action.
The second sample is TkDemo.py, which is a demonstration of all the Tkinter core widgets. It is highly animated and provides a good feel for the basic operation of these widgets.
As mentioned previously, Tkinter is the standard GUI for Python applications, therefore you can find a large number of resources both in the standard Python documentation and referenced via the Python web site.
Tkinter is excellent for small, quick GUI applications, and since it runs on more platforms than any other Python GUI toolkit, it is a good choice where portability is the prime concern.
Obviously we haven't been able to give Tkinter the depth of discussion it warrants, but it's fair to say that almost anything that can be done using the C language and Tk can be done using Python and Tkinter. One example is the Python megawidgets (
PMW) package mentioned previously; this is a pure Python package that creates an excellent widget set by building on the core Tkinter widgets.

Sense the atmosphere and feel the noise as you step towards the decks. The lights are low as you mix your beats but something bright catches your eye: Kisai RPM, revolutionary timing.
Made of Acetate in three limited edition color variations, you are guaranteed an original watch design made of a unique material.
Simple to read at a glance, hours are shown on the inner ring in the same position as hours on a clock. Five minute intervals are shown on the outer ring in the same position as minutes on a clock and four single minutes are positioned at the top of the display along side the AM/PM indicator. Lights showing the current time will flash for several seconds to direct you.
Ideal for night time, Kisai RPM has a light-up animation feature. When activated, the minute lights spin around the display in a clockwise direction once every fifteen minutes between 6PM and midnight.
This design is also USB rechargeable via your computer. One full charge will take 3.5 hours and each charge should last 1 month. There are 300 charges in one battery and the battery is replaceable.
Acetate is a special material used in the production of high end sunglasses and other fahion accessories. Manufactured in the same way as stainless steel, each part of this LED watch design, including each link that makes up the strap has been carefully hand cut, machined and individually polished before assembly.
A strong material with a deep gloss that can be cleaned easily, Acetate has a silky finish, similar to ceramic or lacquerware and is light and comfortable to wear, making it ideal for wrist watches.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase its concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The original idea for Kisai RPM was submitted by James Fursedon from the UK and was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the first concept submitted by a fan to become reality.

Imagine this: You've sifted through hundreds of dresses for an oh-so-special occasion and finally found the perfect one. And then… it gets lost at the airport. Pretty rough, right? Now imagine you're the one responsible for losing said dress, and it's for – wait for it – an actress attending the Academy Awards. Well, this horror movie–like plotline actually happened to Donna Karan PR rep Aliza Licht yesterday. And get ready to grab some popcorn, because she chronicled the whole ordeal live on Twitter.
Lucky for her (warning: spoiler alert ahead), the dresses were found. I have to admit, though, as I read each of her tweets, I became less and less nervous for Aliza. And no, it wasn't because I thought the dresses would soon be found. It was because the girl is straight-up hilarious in the face of a job-threatening situation. Worst-case scenario, the dresses were lost forever, and she would have been fired. But on the bright side? She would have wound up with a pretty good screenplay on her hands and a great Candy Crush score. Sounds like a solid ending to me.

Live chat recap: Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick
March 6, 2013 | Oregonlive.com-- Steve Novick has always been a political maverick, but now, in elected office for the first time, he has to help govern. And he is making the transition with his typical flair and drive.
Do you have questions or comments for the freshman Portland city commissioner? Want to know what he thinks about the city's current budget cutting proposals, including a suggestion to close seven fire stations? Wondering where Novick stands on Portland's rising water and sewer rates and its declining road conditions?
You can ask him directly on Wednesday, March 6, at 12:30 p.m. when The Oregonian columnist David Sarasohn sits down with Novick and takes reader questions during a one-hour live chat.
Novick, an Oregon native, is a graduate of the U of O and Harvard Law. He spent years as an environmental lawyer for the U.S. Justice Department. Since returning to Oregon, he's been politically active and in 2008 ran an unsuccessful primary campaign for U.S. Senate, where he raised his profile with amusing TV ads and fiery stump speeches.
Novick came into City Hall in January with a new mayor, Charlie Hales, who said he would focus on returning the city government to its traditional role of running basic services. Mayor Hales won't be assigning bureaus to city councilors for several months but Novick has already READ FULL ARTICLE

The editorial agenda for 2013 we're rolling out this week is about issues we have in common. It's about what we share. It's about issues that should unite us but tend to divide us. It's about Our issues. And the first is Our Climate.
Our climate – the only one we've got by the way – is changing. We believe science has proved conclusively the climate is changing because we humans have allowed too much carbon to build up in the atmosphere. We are already seeing the effects in more severe weather and temperature extremes. In not reversed the results will be catastrophic. We have to change our behavior and our policies.
There are many reasons to be concerned. National security experts for example now say climate change contributes to political instability in the world. Yet too many, especially in government, refuse to even acknowledge climate change. So we start there. We WILL talk about Our Climate in 2013. And tomorrow we will talk about Our Schools.

Injury Ends 2012 AFL Season for Baez
It's not the end of the World, but it's never good to report news of an injury to a top prospect. Javier Baez was removed from Saturday's AFL game, and reports are that he will miss the remainder of the AFL season now with a possible broken left thumb, the tip of the thumb specifically. It's been a long 2012 for Baez as he destroyed MWL pitching with the Peoria Chiefs, then struggled with the transition to the Daytona Cubs, then produced at a ridiculous rate for the Solar Sox in the AFL but saw his average drop off. In the grand scheme of things Baez will not miss much baseball, the only thing he will miss out on is some development time with the Solar Sox in Mesa. He should be all set to go in 2013, odds are that he will start the 2013 campaign with the Daytona Cubs.
Thanks for reading,
– George
1 Comment
The injury, a broken thumb on his left hand, knocks Baez out of the remainder of the AFL season, although the Cubs are hopeful he will recover enough to see some action in the Puerto Rico Winter League in December.

In January, the Friends of the Mill Valley Library will present film biographies of two American musicians whose rags to riches stories transformed their innate musical talent into worldwide acclaim.
Walk the Line (2005)January 7th, Monday @ 7:30 p.m.
Joaquin Phoenix stars as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon plays his wife and musical collaborator June Carter. The film traces the life story of Cash, largely self-taught as he begins to write songs, perform and record. After divorcing his first wife, he woos June Carter who initially rejects him in large part because of his recurring drug addiction. Eventually he wins her over and they go on to a glorious performing and recording career. In this film, Joaquin Phoenix chooses to sing Cash's songs himself. Roger Ebert wrote, "Knowing Johnny Cash's albums more or less by heart, I closed my eyes to focus on the soundtrack and decided that, yes, that was the voice of Johnny Cash I was listening to. The closing credits make it clear it's Joaquin Phoenix doing the singing, and I was gob-smacked". Reese Witherspoon won an Oscar for Best Actress. Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for Best Actor. The film was also nominated for Best Costumes, Best Film Editing and Best Sound Mixing.Doors open at 7:00. This series is sponsored by The Friends of the Mill Valley Library. For more Programs and Events at the Library, see the Library Events Calendar.

CATHY ZOI: Hi, there. I'm Cathy Zoi, assistant secretary of energy at DOE. Hey, today Vice President Biden made a big announcement. One of the cornerstone programs in the Recovery Act is the Weatherization Assistance Program. And during August, we will have weatherized 200,000 homes across America. That's 200,000 low-income families that will be benefitting from lower energy bills and from increased comfort in the coming years. It's absolutely fantastic progress.
And what's more is that we've actually created over 13,000 jobs to get this work done. Those are 13,000 people that have good, green, sustainable jobs helping people save money, helping reduce our dependence on foreign oil. And what we really love about this is that this sort of program is a down payment on weatherizing homes across the country, low-income, middle-income. Everywhere, we now have experienced, trained workers in every state in this country to be able to get that job done. We're very, very pleased with this progress and we congratulate everybody who has helped get us to this point. We look forward to continued progress.
So we're just having a big conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages about weatherization right now and we hope that you'll join us. Come with questions. Come with comments. Just participate in this very, very exciting transformation to a clean-energy economy. Thanks so much.

After going through Raymond Long's Elements of English: Silent Letters, I added a bunch more words to my words with silent letters spreadsheet. Some of the additions are questionable, but many aren't. I'm amazed how many I missed.

I'm reminded of my choral society director years ago. He cautioned us that we should sing "psalm" as in English, not Latin. The "p" was to be silent as in "swimming".

I received a stern warning from a teacher
when I insisted on using the "p" in pneumonia,
which my brother was afflicted with, and still
kept using it. She was unhappy, very, with me._________________________

July 2, 2013 —
BARYVILLE, NY — Park Ranger Tim Oset will lead a guided walk through the Minisink Battleground Park on Saturday, July 6 at 10:30 a.m.
The Battle of Minisink was the only Revolutionary War battle to be fought in the Upper Delaware and was one of the bloodiest battles in the war, considering the number of men involved. What was supposed to be a sneak attack by a militia led by Col. John Hathorn and Lt. Col Benjamin Tusten on Joseph Brant's party of Tories and Iroquois, who were responsible for a raid that killed at least four settlers and destroyed numerous buildings, ended up going terribly wrong when a rifle accidently discharged, triggering the battle and turning the fortune of the militia against itself.
The Minisink Battleground trail is an easy loop that allows you to visit the site of the only Revolutionary War battle fought in the Upper Delaware River Valley. During the hike Oset will discuss the Battle of Minisink and explain the significance of the prominent locations along the trail such as Sentinel Rock, Hospital Rock and Indian Rock.
For more information, call 570/685-4871.

With Valentine's Day on its way, there are certainly many things that you can get your sweetheart. That said, you definitely want to check out these unique gifts first.
It is that time of year again, when you can almost smell the roses on the air -- or at least in the supermarkets. Forget the ordinary Valentine's Day gifts. Traditional presents are great, but this year, why not put a twist on things or come up with something completely different to surprise her and win her heart all over again.
There are many things that you can get your sweetheart, but you definitely want to check out these unique gifts first. If you hurry, you can get these items shipped or purchased before the big day.
"Message in a Bottle" Pillowcases:
The sentimental value of these pillowcases alone will put a smile on her face and a kiss on your lips. This unique gift gives a whole new meaning to the words "message in a bottle," since it is actually two pillowcases: one with a stick boy bending over, pushing at the sand, and the other a stick girl bending over to pick up the message in a bottle.
What is so unique about these gifts is that you can keep one and give one to your sweetheart, or you can put them on the bed together as seen on FindGift.com.
Make Jewelry Unique
Remember back in the good old days when guys were known for giving out diamond this and gold that? In today's society, men still give out jewelry for Valentine's Day, but it is the same cliche.

The art, science of avoiding costly litigation
- published_in
- The Edge
You want to avoid a trial, but what should you do?
First, we'll send a letter to Sam, describing the facts that support your claim that the list is a trade secret – how you compiled it, your reasonable secrecy measures, your "confidential" label, and access limitations – and why you think he's using it. We'll ask him to stop and return all copies to you. Of course, he'll either ignore the letter, or claim it's not secret, or that he's not using it.
So, a letter goes to Sam's new boss, Betty, explaining that Sam has so many clients because he took information unlawfully from you. Now Betty is on notice that she must make Sam abandon the list or she may also be liable. Betty doesn't hire a lawyer, so she just replies that Sam told her he didn't take the list, he just made notes from it in his notebook and, anyway, there are only a limited number of potential clients in the region. What Betty doesn't understand is that it's not the document that's secret; it's the information in the document.
Most states, including Colorado, enacted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, letting us ask a court to order Betty and Sam to stop and to give you money for their misbehavior. We may decide to add other claims, too. Perhaps something like interference with a contract, if, for instance, Sam had contacted an ongoing client and stolen them away.
We'll list the facts we know and ask a judge to issue a temporary restraining order – directing Sam and Betty to stop using your information. If the court orders it, you'll have another hearing very quickly where Sam and Betty – with lawyers by now – will tell the court why the restraining order should be lifted. In any event, Betty and Sam will write an answer to our complaint (charges). The court will enter a scheduling order and we will begin "discovery."
Years ago, there was no discovery phase. People went directly to trial. Discovery was instituted to streamline things – if you've been involved in litigation, you probably don't believe this, as discovery has become very slow and expensive and seems to drag things out. However, discovery allows each side to know what the other side knows so they can resolve the dispute without trial. Ninety-five percent of all cases settle before trial. Discovery is the main reason.
Once Betty and Sam see our evidence and we each take statements (depositions) from witnesses and each party, we will have a better idea of the value of the case, and how to resolve it.
We can have a settlement conference. The mediator, or settlement master, will listen to everyone, then help them decide the best way to settle. Both sides might make a proposal, then try to find a middle ground. Or, the mediator may use experiences to say, "It seems like the maximum you could get from Sam and Betty is $100,000 and it seems there is about an 80 percent likelihood you will win, so you should try to settle for $80,000."
Unfortunately, Sam's and Betty's final offer to settle was $2,000, so we're going to trial. But there's one last chance to avoid a trial. This process, called summary judgment, sometimes resolves cases where there is really no genuine dispute as to the important facts. The judge simply applies the law. If the judge can determine there are enough facts not in dispute from the information we each received in discovery, we may avoid a trial.
If not, we go to trial and experience two directors (the lawyers) trying to direct separate plays on the same stage, and act in it, at the same time using amateurs who have never acted before (witnesses) to act out unscripted parts. The audience is a group of drama critics who have probably never done it before (jury). Meanwhile, a wild-card (the judge), sits and interjects stage directions.

With fall just around the corner, we asked the team at Captain Michigan to tell us why they're looking forward to fall in Pure Michigan this year. Below is a roundup of five reasons to look forward to fall in Michigan this year, compiled by Captain Michigan and their community.
The Captain Michigan team proudly promotes the very best of Michigan. What would you add to their list below?
Can you think of a place on earth with so many amazing seasons, while surrounded by such an abundance of fresh water? Yes, you got it, it's Pure Michigan!
The only state shaped like a mitten that is always waving hello, come and visit, we're awaiting your arrival friends.
Reason #1: The Upper Peninsula.
Michigan has some of the best year round destinations, especially in the U.P. It's impossible to choose only one location to visit during the fall in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to look at such an abundance of vivid colors.
This is why we choose the Upper Peninsula as a whole. Just take a drive up there one weekend and oh will you be amazed. From the Porcupine Mountains and down to St. Ignace, your breath will be taken away. It's an experience we can't explain; rather it's one you have to come experience in person first hand. We guarantee you will come back often!
Reason #2: Magnificent Fall Colors.
Some of the best fall colors in the United States are right here in our own backyard. The first and arguably the most famous is the Tunnel of Trees, located on one of the most spectacular drives you will ever take. This great destination is located on Michigan Highway 119 – from Harbor Springs only 20 miles to the quaint, historic town of Cross Village.
You will be brought to tears of joy with such magnificent beauty in such a pristine location, just off the shores of Lake Michigan.
Or, visit one of Michigan's Metroparks any day of the week, whether it's during your lunch hour or on a family picnic. Sit back and take it all in – these extraordinary colors only come out once per year, but the wow factor you will feel is irreplaceable and will never go away!
Reason #3: Football Tailgating Weekends.
Now, who isn't a fan of college football tailgating on a sunny Saturday during fall in Pure Michigan? The experience on some of our states college campuses sets our state apart from the rest.
Why you may be asking? Here is one example: We proudly call them the Great Lakes!
How many campuses in our great nation are surrounded by so many spectacular views? Our polite answer is: none! Just imagine watching a football game off of the shores of Lake Superior while freighters pass by in the distance on a beautiful fall afternoon in Pure Michigan. Not a bad visual at all, is it?
Reason #4: St. Clair Freighter Watching.
It is a real treat to be able to sit and watch these magnificent vessels travel the St. Clair River. On a fall day, it's even better with the colorful trees in the background. If you've never had the pleasure of visiting the Blue Water region of Michigan's eastern shore, then we highly recommend it. But, remember to bring a camera and be prepared to say, "Wow, look at that!" all day long.
Reason #5: The Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is the ultimate destination. That's especially true during fall because the view only gets that much better (if you can believe it). Many spend summer days walking the dunes with sand between their toes and the sounds of Lake Michigan in the near distance, but have you stood atop the dunes highest points during the peak of fall season to look out at some of the most stunning fall foliage and crystal blue waters on a sunny day in Pure Michigan? This is definitely a memory you will never forget!

Adding It All Up
By Health Day
The study, just published in the journal Child Development, shows while IQ is strongly related to achievement when you're starting out with math-. motivation and study skills play a major role as you get older.
Data was compiled from more than 35-hundred German students who were followed from grades 5 through 10.
The results: Students who felt competent, were motivated by good teachers, and used study strategies instead of rote memorizing, saw their math skills shine. In fact, how smart a student was had no relation to growth in math achievement.
The researchers hope their findings lead to new educational programs that help children advance in math and other subjects.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news doctors are reading health news that matters to you.

"Sometimes it's good to just walk around slowly and quietly and look and think. This morning was one of those times. I didn't get mildly out of breath the way Doc wanted me to, but just strolled comfortably.
There was what we still call the old drugstore, there in faded brick solidity on the corner. The new drugstore's made mostly of glass and is three blocks down these days, and the old drugstore has become a meeting place and rehearsal hall for our local actors, and is also a place where members of the PTA take turns tutoring children after school. Not a bad job for a grand old building.
And here comes Mrs. Sandiford. She's bent over pretty badly these days, but she looks up at me with effort and smiles a good morning. Two years ago we knew she wasn't going to survive that stroke, but here she is, still smiling and still taking care of her two cats: Boots and Desdemona.
There's old Billy, asleep in the street again. He was Stewart Simpson's dog until Stew passed on, and now Billy belongs to all of us. We haven't had a town dog since Sally died in her sleep on Doc's front porch, you know, so now Billy has picked up the slack. We all feed him and pet him, and he has quite smoothly made the transition from one-man dog to one-town dog. He greets each of the children in the mornings down at the school, just to make them feel good about themselves. A worthwhile job.
Old Martin, the crossing guard, stops the traffic for Billy now, as well as for the kids. How Martin can make it out there, year after year, in all that weather, just to get those kids safely across the street, is a mystery. He's a special guy.
That new young couple just parked the car over by the dress shop and got out. They have that new baby of theirs in one of those tummy sling things. You can zip a parka right around those babies, you know. Keeps everyone warm and feeling loved.
As for me, I just like to think of Thanksgiving and the treasures life has given us.

Aug. 4, 2010--Widely considered to be among the greatest-ever jazz bassists, Charlie Haden expands jazz into a wide scope of genres when he performs Oct. 2 at North Central College.
Haden has been an inspiration among some of the greatest artists of his time. His influence and talents allowed collaborations with a remarkable range of musicians, including Hank Jones, Dewey Redman and Kenny Barron. His collaboration with Pat Metheny on "Beyond the Missouri Sky" led to a shared Grammy win in 1997 for Best Jazz Instrumental Individual/Small Group.
The performance will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, in North Central's Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. Tickets are $55 and $45; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit www.northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
Born in Shenandoah, Iowa, Haden began his life in music almost immediately, singing on his parents' country and western radio show at age 22 months. After his move to Los Angeles in 1957, he began his work with such legends as Art Pepper, Hampton Hawes and Dexter Gordon.
Haden's career gained speed in 1959 when he joined artistic forces with Ornette Coleman, jazz saxophonist and pioneer of the free jazz movement. This collaboration marked the formation of the pair's trademark quartet with Don Cherry and Billy Higgins. Their signature and still influential work paved the way for Haden's work to follow with John Coltrane, Archie Shepp and Keith Jarrett-household names of any avid jazz fan.
Haden established the jazz studies program at California Institute of the Arts in 1982 and has earned countless honors from around the globe, including the Los Angeles Jazz Society prize for Jazz Educator of the Year, a Guggenheim fellowship, Montreal Jazz Festival's Miles Davis Award and an additional Grammy Award along with a multitude of nominations.
His most recent album, "Land of the Sun," has received rave reviews across the board. "Bassist Charlie Haden makes CDs that are true albums-not merely song collections, but integrated, thoroughly conceived works about something," says The New Republic.
Haden's performance is the first of five from North Central College's Jazz Series. Tickets are on sale now for individual shows, season and series subscribers; call 630-637-SHOW (7469).
This performance is one of many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. North Central offers a variety of venues accommodating a rich range of local and world-class events, performances and space needs for the public. For a comprehensive schedule of musical performances, theatrical and dance productions, art exhibits and lectures, visit www.northcentralcollege.edu/show or call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469).
