The California Energy Commission approved the modification to the decision by accepting the change in ownership from Palo Verde Solar I, LLC to NextEra Blythe Energy Center LLC.
The developer of this project, propose to construct, own, and operate the Blythe Solar Power Project. The project is a concentrated solar thermal electric generating facility with four adjacent, independent, and identical solar plants of 250 megawatt (MW) nominal capacity each for a total capacity of 1,000 MW nominal.
The project will utilize solar parabolic trough technology to generate electricity. With this technology, arrays of parabolic mirrors collect heat energy from the sun and refocus the radiation on a receiver tube located at the focal point of the parabola. A heat transfer fluid (HTF) is heated to high temperature (750°F) as it circulates through the receiver tubes. The heated HTF is then piped through a series of heat exchangers where it releases its stored heat to generate high pressure steam. The steam is then fed to a traditional steam turbine generator where electricity is produced.
The project site is located approximately two miles north of U.S. Interstate-10 (I-10) and eight miles west of the City of Blythe in an unincorporated area of Riverside County, California. The Blythe Airport is about one mile south of the site. The applicants have applied for a right-of-way (ROW) grant from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for about 9,400 acres of flat desert terrain. The total area that will be disturbed by project construction and operation will be about 7,030 acres. The area inside the project's security fence, within which all project facilities will be located, will occupy approximately 5,950 acres.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

With its commitment to rural, underserved communities, the Peace Corps is uniquely situated to address the development needs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. While there are multiple international organizations contributing financial and human resources to Jordan, Peace Corps Volunteers are among the few who work at a local level for an extended period of service, able to adapt their efforts to what they observe and can develop with local stakeholders.
Since the first Volunteers arrived in 1997, at the invitation of the late King Hussein, nearly 300 have served in a number of fields. Support from the government continues to be strong in every aspect of cooperation.
King Abdullah and Queen Rania have placed youth and education at the center of the Kingdom's ambitious development goals. These priorities have shaped Peace Corps/Jordan's goals.
Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in Jordan
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is one of the more recent countries to invite the Peace Corps to provide technical assistance to its people. Peace Corps began in Jordan in 1997 as the result of discussions between the late King Hussein and former President Clinton. American-born Queen Noor and influential politicians familiar with the Peace Corps were instrumental in establishing this productive relationship.
Jordan is the eighth Arab country to have hosted the Peace Corps over the years, but the only one in the Middle East with a current program. Now, more than ever, Volunteers are essential in bridging gaps between, and dispelling myths about, our country and this region. Volunteers can foster peace through trusting relationships, mutual respect, and diligent contributions.
The first group of 27 Jordan Volunteers began their service in July 1997 in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development and several nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) supported by the royal family. In 1998, Volunteers began working with the Ministry of Education, teaching English in rural primary and secondary schools. Our current youth development project got underway in 2001.
Due to security concerns, the Peace Corps suspended its program and withdrew Volunteers in November 2002. In 2004, however, Peace Corps/Jordan resumed programming, welcoming 25 English teachers, 10 special education Volunteers, and 15 youth development Volunteers for assigments at underserved schools and centers. In July 2005, 32 Volunteers in all three sectors arrived. Currently, there are about 60 Volunteers serving throughout the kingdom.
Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle
Main article: Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Jordan
After completing pre-service training, you will move to your actual work site for two years of service. Your host agency or school will have helped to identify acceptable housing within the local community. Your living accommodation is intended to be simple and comparable to your Jordanian neighbors. Most buildings in Jordan are concrete and not insulated. Your house/ apartment will likely have one or two rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The Peace Corps will provide a refrigerator, gas space heater, stove (no oven), and a small allowance for the purchase of essential household items. Washing machines, clothes dryers, air conditioners, and central heating are seldom found in either urban or rural areas and will not be featured in Volunteer housing, but you will have indoor plumbing, electricity, and hot water.
Volunteer accommodations must meet the Peace Corps' health, safety, and security standards, yet be modest and typical of the area in which you work and live. You may have an apartment or a free-standing house, some part of which may be occupied by the owner's family. You will also have the option to live with a host family that can enhance your cross-cultural experience.
You are expected to live in the village where you work. This is very important! Some of your Jordanian supervisors and co-workers may commute from the nearest town and be less involved in community life. However, as a Volunteer, you are more than an employee doing a job. You are considered a member of the community in which you work, and there is no better way to demonstrate this than by being visible and involved.
Other Volunteers will be within relatively close proximity due to Jordan's small size and reliable transportation. You may have another Volunteer in the same village, or it may be a few hours by bus to the nearest Volunteer site. The Peace Corps office in Amman is no more than a four- or five-hour drive from the furthest Volunteer site (public buses may take longer).
Main article: Training in Jordan
Training is an essential part of your Peace Corps service. Pre-service training will provide you with the support, information, and opportunities to enable you to live and work effectively in Jordan. We will build upon the experiences and expertise you bring to the Peace Corps. It is important to approach training with an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to become involved. Trainees officially become Peace Corps Volunteers after meeting the training competencies and requirements of pre-service training.
The 11-week training provides you the opportunity to learn new skills and practice them as they apply to Jordan. You will receive training and orientation in language, cross-cultural communication and adaptation, development issues, health and personal safety, and technical skills pertinent to your assignment. The skills you learn will serve as a foundation that you will build upon throughout your two years. You will experience local culture and customs on your own through your stay with a host family and the community-based training.
Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health care and safety in Jordan
The Peace Corps' highest priority is ensuring the health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive rather than the curative approach to disease. Peace Corps/Jordan maintains a clinic with a full-time medical officer who manages Volunteer and trainee primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services are available at local American-standard hospitals through referral by the medical officer. If you become seriously ill, you may be treated in the capital, Amman, or transferred to the United States for additional testing and/or treatment.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Jordan
Television is common in Jordan and perceptions of Americans, unfortunately, come from the programs on the air. Common misperceptions are that all Americans are blond, blue-eyed, promiscuous, and rich. While many Jordanians are educated and familiar with foreign cultures, rural areas tend to be more traditional and may be less accepting of diversity. In Jordan (as in all Peace Corps countries), Volunteer behavior, religion, lifestyle, background, and beliefs will be judged in a cultural context very different from our own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics considered familiar and commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed elsewhere. Some of you may experience subtle discrimination, and a few, blatant bigotry. Jordanians are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you live may display a range of reactions to differences that you present.

Packing List
Main article: Packing list for Jordan
One of the most stressful tasks in preparing for Peace Corpsservice is deciding what to pack and what to leave behind. Generally, packing involves a gradual whittling process as more and more items shift from the "Necessities" pile to the "If There's Room..." pile. The following list has been compiled by Volunteers currently serving in Jordan, based on their experience. There is no perfect list! Please use it as a guide, bearing in mind that experience is individual and tastes differ. Do not try to bring everything on this list; consider only those items that make sense to you personally. Peace Corps will not reimburse you for overweight baggage. Remember, you can get everything you will really need, and most of what you will really want, here in Jordan.

Violence Against Women Act With Tribal Provisions Passes House; On to President Obama for Signature
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reauthorization has passed the U.S. House by a vote of 286 - 138. It includes the U.S. Senate provisions that allow tribal courts to prosecute non-Indians who commit violence against women and families on Indian lands. The Senate passed the same bill on February 12.The legislation now goes on to President Barack Obama to be signed into law.
"I've seen firsthand the troubles and hardships that our tribes experienced … Native American women are two and a half times more likely to be assaulted in their lifetimes than other women," Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) said in a floor speech before the vote. "Now I represent 12 Native American tribes, and I am here standing on the floor of Congress to give them a voice."
More to come.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Hashirama must have given Madara a real beating to leave him in such a sorry state!!!
Last edited by thengo; 09-19-2012 at 07:51 AM.
3, possibly 4. Informative chapter. Makes me wonder...
I feel sorry so sorry for Obito... :/
glad to see the goofy obito once again
First impression: worst chapter evar! It seems so fake. And what's with the left side of Obito's face (his left)? Why is it so messed up when the left side of Tobi's face is just fine?
I'll sleep on it and give it another whirl tomorrow before making my final judgments. Hopefully I'll awake to find it's only a dream.

I thought this was a fake when I read it first, but everyone here is convinced! Just sloppy! Bad, bad, bad! All these bits of rubbish information just hammered in. Nothing unexpected, nothing exciting. It's like Kishi just read all these old Tobi is Obito theories and is lazily plodding through the stupidity of it all, chapter by chapter. Not good enough.
Interesting chapter. Alot of new information that with thankfully put a rest to all those ridiculous theories out there. 5/5
Next I'm hoping to find out where Oro and Sasuke are heading. I still believe we're going to see the previous 4 Hokages come back, as well as Naruto getting the Other half of Kurama's chakra.
By his eyes Borrowed he means that they are his brothers eyes comon guys you do recall he was going blind you know.. and in my opinion he lost one of his eyes because he used izanagi to escape his near death experience from the 1st hokage.
Somewhat of a meaningless chapter. At least we learnt more about Madara.
- Obito still has his previous attitude.
- Learnt why Madara wasn't more active in the world.
- Seems like there will be a third player introduced.
- Too little information and too much playing around.
- Still not seeing how Obito will become Tobi, especially with the personality he's currently showing.

If you discount the fact that he's like well over a hundred years old, yeah, sure
What a sad chapter - one can see why both felt so hopeless, but it was their choice to continue to live at that price.
I wonder how Madara met Nagato and why he chose to give him his eyes? Is it possible that his sharingan turned to rinnegan only after he implanted them in Nagato?
Is it just me or does young Obito remind you a lot of naruto? They both have same hairstyle, same goofiness and personality, same drive to protect friends and same love triangle. Also I bet you Obito will end up saving kakashi in the end just like he did when he was a child, and actually die for real this time probably protecting them from Edo madara sasuke or someone else .
Very neat. This chapter is the first step into being filled in with what we don't know.
Hope next chapter continues on with this chapter.

i feel so sorry for both Obito and Madara.... the guy ended up stuck in that cave connected to some Hashirama life support system and with serious enough depression to come up with the weirdest/craziest plan in a century or so... it's really pitiful to see THE Madara Uchiha, one of the greatest shinobi of all times, in such a physical but most important mental state.
I KNEW IT! His body is from HARASHIMA'S DNA. All though Zetsu theories were legit as well & I half believed them.
Madara was saying it was a miracle that Obito's body "slipped away" from the rubble, perhaps he did awaken MS to save the other half of his body and then escape that cavern.
DAYUMN Team Kakashi got lucky/unlucky? Obito just had to get buried in the one place where there was an old guy who does amputations underground...
When i first saw his other eye I was like "ok he used Izanagi to survive his battle with the 1st" and then he said that he gave his eyes to someone else.
Now, when Nagato was "attacked" he said that he didn't remember anything. Perhaps Madara knocked him out, killed the two leaf ninja and gave him some old/new eyes as a present? lol
So I suppose that Tobito was right in saying to Konan that "I gave him those eyes"
This also opens questions about the revival jitsu that the Rinnegan uses, could Madara use it before or was it something that the SO6P could use but Madara couldn't and so trusted Obito to tell Nagato about it... who knows.
And finally next chap we may see how Obito got twisted. At first I thought "genjitsu" but if Madara's dead that wouldn't work. So Madara either changed Obito's dogma himself or Obito went insane trapped with Herbert's cousin underground for an extended period of time.
"Take care of... your lower parts?"
WTF! Seriously, Kishi!?
cant wait to see what people have to say about Madara having secret passages out under, where they were. i forget where it was.
I gave that chapter a 5/5. We asked for answers and we finally start to get them . Why complain? We learned how in the world Madara is still alive in his state, it was stated that half of Obito's body is an artificial Hashirama body, that Madara gave his eyes to someone else(probably Nagato) and we'll learn more soon. Madara couldn't tell all his secrets and plans from their first encounter. I think after tricking him, with the whole " a world where there is only peace-love-winners " thing, to help him with his plan he slowly started brainwashing him. I also loved the parts where Obito acted so much Naruto-like. Come to think of it, we saw that this thing started with Obito wanting to protect his friends. Just like Naruto. Naruto and Obito were the same, then crossed different paths in order to fulfill their dreams. I like this kind of contrast between the main hero and the main villain at the moment.
Flashbacks are always borin, I wish they just showed Madara manipulating Obito instead of it endin with him havin hope he will see Rin again. Madara said he awaken his Rinnegan before his death, so did he die or drift away underground. Those artificial bodies does Madara use those
What im starting to think is... What if Obito is under genjutsu? He hasnt been in contact with anyone, so no one can release him from genjutsu. Seeing this chapter makes me realize that obito still was a good guy, still wanting to team with Kakashi (the 2-eyes max power madara says).... So what if he is not... "bad" but just under genjutsu? Madara would have done it in a way obito have the "you left rin die" thing...
Also, Madara killing Nagato's parents, putting him under genjutsu, and after that transplanting his eyes making nagato think it was himself who awakened those eyes.

Colchicum 2014
Nice plants Fermi! Seems the fall is imminent
Autumn is in full swing here, Trond!
Today we went to see an amazing garden in the Strathbogie ranges North of Melbourne called 'Sunnymeade' - Craig is a NARGS member and he's devoted his life to creating this paradise.
This clump of Colchicum speciosum was particularly impressive,
Been enjoying the autumn colchicums, love the pale flowered C. cilicicum. We're at opposite extremes with Colchicum, the "glacial" ice layer is now receded off about 30% of my yard (just happened the last day or two) and already see lilac pink buds on C. doerfleri. Close to the warm south side of the house C. kesselringii forms have been trying to bloom, but it only rose above freezing two days ago, so the blooms are a bit beat up after a number of nights down to 12-14 F.

Recently at a Linux show, John Littler saw a preview of a new version of KDE running on a KDE developer's laptop. The interface looked cleaner than before, and apparently there was a whole raft of new stuff under the hood. John recently interviewed KDE developer Aaron J. Seigo about the forthcoming KDE 4 (due in the fall) and also a little about the recent controversy surrounding the porting of KDE to operating systems other than Linux.
John Littler: The new features I remember include a bucketload of bug fixes, a universal messaging client, and a big cleanup of the GUI. Are there more things that you should mention?
Aaron J. Seigo: For KDE4, there is a lot more than just this. We are:
selecting a new multimedia system (aRts is unmaintained and not providing what we need)
JL: Right. I remember Stefan changed his thinking on that approach. What are the main alternatives now?
AJS: GStreamer, NMM, and MAS. GStreamer looks like the most probable candidate at this point. We'll be:

AJS: There is no single silver bullet, nor even any really simple answers. There is work going on at pretty much every level, including things such as:
RENDER and
COMPOSITE improvements and EXA)
Add to this the hard, thankless work of old-fashioned profiling and optimization, which we do with each release, and it's a promising recipe for success.
JL: In the early days of KDE there seemed to be a definite attempt to make Windows users feel at home. Do you think you're traveling away from that now?
AJS: Windows users certainly felt (and still feel) at home, but that's different than that being an explicit goal. We've always tried to present a reasonably coherent and integrated desktop that is well behaved, which is also what people used to Windows have come to expect. Inasmuch as that remains the goal of both KDE and Microsoft, I don't expect there to be any large departures from the phenomenon of Windows users enjoying KDE.
At the same time, we certainly are willing to try a greater number of new things, which seems to be the same with Microsoft and Apple as well. I think this may be due to desktop computing entering a new phase of its evolution and maturing further, combined with the fact that KDE has come to the point where we have a solid base and have on several fronts little place else to go in terms of improvement other than to start innovating more.
JL: "Replacing the desktop and panels with a new application called Plasma": can you give me more on this? I'm not sure what I saw at Linux World, but it looked very clean.
AJS: That's part of the idea, yes. The central concepts are workflow and beauty. Some of the ideas include:
COMPOSITE are used, when available, to provide performant and beautiful alpha blending, window thumbnails, and more
JL: Any chance of a sneak screenshot?
AJS: Not at this point, sorry.
JL: What improvements result from SVG use?
AJS: Resolution-independent images allow us to provide graphics that look good whether the user has a low-resolution or high-resolution display and regardless of the size of the graphics they use. For icons and window borders, which the user may change the sizes of, this is a big win.
Additionally, SVG allows for animations and transformations that make it easy to provide very nice and organic effects in the UI. The implementation in Qt 4.1 is quite lightweight and very fast.
JL: Ah yes, there's been some comment about this. One Linux person I talked to made the point that if many things are ported to other OSes, why should they use Linux? I guess, where developers have chipped in on a Linux app or utility and it is then ported to, say, Windows, they might feel fairly grumpy. What do you make of this?
AJS: This is actually exactly the argument I made in my blog last year; that blog entry was then picked up by Slashdot, and from there it went all over. So I am in a nontrivial way responsible for that meme. And I still agree with it.
On the other hand, there can be real benefits to porting our libraries to other operating systems. The primary one is that we get more developers using our technology, which then translates into more applications for KDE. If people use our libraries to build their applications, then we can more effectively address the issue of desktop application availability on Linux and other open source operating systems. But many developers, particularly those producing closed source software, are not willing or able to write software that they can't deliver to people on Windows.
We will not be porting things like Plasma to Windows, however. In fact, Plasma (as an example) will not be portable because we will have hard requirements on X11 in it.
So, while there will be many KDE applications that won't be portable to Windows, our libraries will be available to Windows and Mac OS X developers to easily write powerful and portable applications. This will allow us to increase our developer pool and increase the number of applications available for KDE on Linux.
JL: Does KDE have a stated policy?
AJS: Not at this point, no.
JL: Is there any kind of target date for a beta?
AJS: We're aiming for a release in fall 2006. We don't have any firm timelines yet.

I started work this monday, three hours a day each day, and I've been pumping about eight oz. 3 from my left and 5 from my right. A month before going back I started pumping once a day to increase my supply for when I'd go back and to have a stash. I was getting 4oz, 2 from each side. But now, I stopped pumping the additional 4oz and have just been doing the necessary 8oz. Now my breasts have been feeling light. While I was pumping the additional 4 oz I would feel engorged in the am and full before a feeding or little pains. Now I've been feeling nothing in the am or before a feeding. Does this mean my supply went dramatically down or that this is the way your supposed to feel when you are producing the right amount?
I've also been pretty sick since monday and have been taking childrens tylenol. Could this be the reason why my supply is low if it is?(Although I did look at that page form kellymom and checked the ingredients)
I have a low milk supply phobia b/c my mom said her milk dried up at two months and now I'm at two months..
Please tell me what you think.

2nd Ward race: Incumbent challenged
Two city natives are vying for the 2nd Ward post on Marietta's City Council in the Nov. 5 general election.
Republican James "Chip" Wilson, 54, an architect, is making his first bid for public office, challenging Democrat incumbent Mike McCauley who has previously served a total of 12 years as city councilman.
"I've never run for or held a public office, but I have strong political views and have always voiced them," Wilson said. "Now I think it's time for me to step forward and bring my views to the table to try and bring some betterment to the community."
He said he knows most of the current council members and considers them all as good representatives.
"But I also believe there needs to be someone presenting an opposing view on issues facing council when needed," Wilson said. "I know you can't always get your way, but the process should be to work through issues by talking them out."
One of the city's biggest problems is a lack of planning, he said. And as an architect that's something he could contribute to council.
"There's no forward-looking vision," Wilson said. "In the past the city has had goals and plans to meet those goals, but I don't get the sense that we have that now. It seems we're always following the grant money, but I know all grants come with strings attached and you have to justify everything you do."
Although he's running to represent the 2nd Ward, Wilson said his biggest concern is attracting more businesses throughout the city.
"The heavy industries that supported Marietta have been gradually going away for years, and those jobs aren't coming back," he said. "And we can't replace those with jobs in the fast-food industry."
Wilson said the city should be taking a closer look at attracting more businesses related to the growing oil and natural gas industries in this area.
"We have good building sites, river, rail and highway transportation," he said. "And targeting industries and businesses to those areas is something the city can work on with the county, Main Street Marietta, Southeastern Port Authority and others."
Wilson does support a proposed city revitalization district, most of which would be located in the downtown area of the 2nd Ward.
State code allows cities like Marietta to establish a revitalization district with restaurants and entertainment facilities in an effort to promote economic growth. But a Marietta district would also make up to 15 new liquor licenses available in the area, which has become a point of contention with current liquor license holders.
"I absolutely support the revitalization district," Wilson said. "And government shouldn't shield established businesses from new competition. As an architect I know that if you get enough good restaurants, you'll draw more people to town."
McCauley also supports a revitalization district.
"I've always promoted continued economic development in the city," he said, noting the downtown area is Marietta's core for locally-owned businesses.
"The 2nd Ward covers downtown, the Frontier Shopping Center, and surrounding historic residential districts," McCauley said. "And downtown Marietta is what helps make our city unique."
As current chairman of council's water, sewer, and sanitation committee he's been involved with the ongoing multi-million-dollar wastewater treatment plant upgrade.
"We're now in the second phase, and the third phase of the project is going into design," he said. "But before the project could begin we had to have an inter-governmental agreement with Washington County. And we had to show a revenue stream to help pay for the project."
McCauley said one result of the inter-governmental agreement with the county has been to generate part of that revenue stream by connecting service lines to the Devola and Oak Grove areas.
"I've studied a lot to keep up with the wastewater treatment plant project, and want to see it through to completion," he said. "I don't think it's good to change horses in midstream, and hope voters will let me continue with this project."
One of McCauley's major undertakings over the last couple of years is a wellhead protection ordinance designed to shield the city's nine drinking water wells, located between the Washington County Fairgrounds and the Marietta Shrine Club, from pollution.
"The ordinance may still need some tweaking, but I expect it will eventually go through council without much problem," he said.
To help develop the wellhead ordinance McCauley said he called on various other cities to see what they had done to protect their water sources rather than "re-invent the wheel."
"I have no problem contacting other towns to draw on their expertise when we're considering a project," he said. "I believe in networking with other communities."
McCauley's list of accomplishments as both a past and current councilman includes support of the Armory Square renovation project; initiation of the River Trail project as a past lands, buildings and parks committee chairman; completion of the Marietta Aquatic Center project; support of the Colony Theater restoration project with Community Development Block Grant funding; and, as current special utilities committee chairman, helped develop a new contract with Rumpke waste haulers with extras at no increased cost to residents.

Old cobbler shop in Longmont has soul of its own
- published_in
- Print Edition
"Marketing would be a waste of money," he said. "We have all the business we can handle."
The fact that he's owned the company for more than 30 years in the same block on Main Street, probably has added to the kind of success that allows a business to rely on people talking. Since the shop has been around even longer, it's a well-established part of downtown Longmont.
"I'm the third owner under this name. I know it goes back a ways, but no one has dates," he said, adding that some customers have told him they recall wooden sidewalks in Little Boot's history. It still has that distinct smell of leather, rubber and boot polish associated with a cobbler's shop.
"I can't even think of the other names it's had, but it's always been the same business."
Even though today's Little Boot serves a lot of locals, it's more than a small-town business with a narrow reach.
Customers from all over the world rely on what Magrum and his two employees provide.
Those services include repairing purses from Paris, saddles from China and Western boots from Russia. How do people from so far away get the idea to use Little Boot?
"I don't know," Magrum said. "It blows me away."
He explained that sometimes people from other countries send things to locals who bring them into the shop. Other than knowing that, Magrum doesn't put time into figuring out the market.
"I just go to work, do my work and go home," he said, describing his work days as nothing under nine hours.
Before Magrum bought Little Boot he built custom homes. "Leather work was my hobby at the time.
"The owner was a friend of my brother's, and one day he asked if I wanted to buy it so I went in to got a feel for it and then bought it.
"I haven't really missed the other work I did since doing this."
Online reviews of Little Boot & Shoe Repair rave about its quality work, customer service and affordability.
"I try to work as reasonable as I can so people can afford what we do," Magrum said. "And spending $50 to $70 to fix a pair of boots instead of paying another $250 for new ones is a big difference," he added. "A lot of times people have stuff they like that's comfortable, and they don't want to throw it away."
In the 30-year span as a shop owner working with leather, shoes, boots and saddles, Magrum said he's still learning something new most days. "Now it's about all the new materials shoes are made out of — like urethane, latex and PVC — and figuring out which glues and primers work with them."
The largest company for which Little Boot does work is Niwot-based Sombrero Ranches, which provides saddle horses to places in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. "We do a lot of boot and shoe repair and fix straps they use to hold horses."
Magrum said most of his customers, however, are individuals.
"A few years back, we made a leather case for an arrow that came from where Gen. (George) Custer was killed," he said. "We had the arrow so we could build it to fit. The man wanted just a little square box with a flap and part of a deer horn for a button."
He thinks the owner is a local.
"Then we made a harness for an iguana — one of those big lizards," Magrum said. "They brought the iguana in and we built it to fit. He just stood there, didn't seem too interested."
Business has been building gradually for the past three years, Magrum said, adding that he's been getting busier and busier since 2001.
He thinks one of the reasons Little Boot stays popular is because people enjoy coming in. "The shop has an old type of attitude, and people say it's just like stepping back in time.
"The building was built in 1896," he said of shop at 317 Main St. "I don't think anything's changed in it since then."

Growing perennial flowers in mountain gardens is no small feat. Only the tough prevail at high elevations.
Many Colorado mountain gardeners must accept a 90-day growing season with the last killing spring frost a month later and first average fall frost a month earlier than Front Range gardeners, who enjoy the luxury of a 150-day growing season.
Plants for mountain areas must be able to withstand daily temperature fluctuations of forty degrees, high summer heat, intense sunlight and cool nights. Water is one of the most limiting factors. For many mountain homeowners with wells, watering plants in July can mean a choice between the flowers and a post-gardening shower.
Location, planting and care are of equal importance to plant selection in mountain perennial growing success.
Location differences are magnified at high elevations. Pronounced microclimate effects from the interplay of sunshine, objects and terrain make plant location decisions critical. A plant growing in the shade of a rock may as well be in a whole different climate than the same plant located 3 feet away in full sun.
Take advantage of cooler eastern exposures to reduce evaporation or the drip line of a roof to harvest water. If your growing season is especially short, consider planting in barrels on wheels or in portable containers. Move the containers to follow the path of the sun across the sky over the seasons. Take advantage of sheltering walls and overhangs in cooler periods and sunny open spaces during warmer times.
Plant in late spring to early summer, June to July. Take time to amend soil with compost, peat or well-composted manure. This helps shallow, rocky soils hold the balance of water and air needed for root growth.
Check newly planted plants every few days for the first several weeks and water when the soil is dry. Avoid frequent sprinkling by applying ample quantities of water that encourage deep rooting. After one growing season for root establishment, plants will thrive on periodic deep watering.
These less-thirsty perennials grow well in my garden located in a chilly valley at 8,000 feet elevation. Many can be seen growing in gardens as high as 10,000 feet.
Look for the compact varieties of catnip (Nepeta) for lavender, bugle-like flowers to edge the garden. A ground-hugging companion is Mount Atlas daisy (Anacyclus depressus). Its red buds open to reveal delicate white petals on sunny days.
Thrift (Armeria maritima) is another edging plant that forms evergreen cushions with pink globe blooms. Include silver-green snow-in-summer (Cerastium tomentosum) for a mass of white flowers early in the season. Shear this plant after bloom and you may be rewarded with a second show of white flowers.
Among taller, "water-wise" perennials, Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale) provides a dramatic, orange spring display. Both dwarf and 2-3 feet tall yarrow are desirable for the golden flat-topped blooms.
Yarrow makes excellent fresh and dried cut flowers and adds garden color through the summer.
Mauve-flowered beebalm (Monarda fistulosa) grows on dry hillsides and does well when planted among other tall flowers to conceal the spindly stems. Consider support from baby's breath (Gypsophila paniculata) and tall native daisies (Erigeron sp.).
Drought-tolerant mainstays for mountain gardens include the deep-blue starburst flowers of mountain blue (Centaurea montana) and orange-yellow blanket flower (Gallardia aristata). Consider pairing both with oregano (Origanum) for its light green leaves and gently-waving, purple flower spikes. These combinations are irresistible to painted lady butterflies, as well as to a host of other insects such as bees and fuzzy bottlebrush flies.
For a partially shady spot, try bellflowers (Campanula sp.). Plant habits range from low-growing clusters to tall, nodding show plants.
Perennials are a sure-fire way to jump start the high elevation gardening season. The rugged corduroy leaves of catnip and prickly growth of Oriental poppies are welcome signs of spring in the high country.

By Tom Philpott: CNJ columnist
Extraordinary steps in the evolution of military medicine are occurring in the Washington, D.C., area where new medical facilities are being built to consolidate services, and a joint command is being readied to adopt cutting-edge concepts to improve quality and efficiency of service health care.
Two famed medical facilities — Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Medical Center — are being combined into one "world class" medical center, the biggest in the military, said the project's top officer.
Two nearby community hospitals also are being merged into one large new hospital at Fort Belvoir, Va., a facility will cover as much ground as a local shopping mall with its length equal to that of two aircraft carriers.
At both facilities military staff will be Army, Navy and Air Force health care providers and serve in joint billets.
Overseeing the $2.4 billion project, the largest capital infrastructure investment ever made in the military health system, and struggling to mesh three service cultures under a single command is Navy Vice Adm. John M. Mateczun, commander of Joint Task Force National Capital Region Medical.
Mateczun said National Capital Region Medical will be a test bed not only of joint staffing but for "transformative business practices" and new approaches to military health care delivery.
In the NCR, for example, officials will strive to improve integration of health care service provided through military facilities and through purchased care from the TRICARE network of civilian physicians or health insurance.
The National Capital Region also will continue to serve as the primary casualty reception site for wounded returning from war, Mateczun said, and care of the wounded will remain its top priority.
Orders to "recapitalize" and consolidate military medical facilities in the D.C., area came down in BRAC 2005, the most recent round of base closures and realignments ordered by Congress. This was the first BRAC to include a comprehensive review of medical infrastructure.
The medical region's realignment is to be completed by Sept. 15, 2011. By then service at Walter Reed will be transferred to an expanded medical center at Bethesda and to the new hospital at Fort Belvoir. The medical center at Andrews Air Force Base will become a clinic and its inpatient capability added to Belvoir or Bethesda depending on care required.
The consolidated facilities are to have the same total patient capacity as area facilities had before BRAC. Mateczun said reorganization and construction plans are progressing on schedule.
Mateczun said the task force's biggest challenge has been cultural differences between services. Some are merely style and easy to address. Others are mission-related and must be accommodated. For example, medical support in the Army and Marine Corps are maneuver-capable units. But "deployable" Air Force support is still intended to be next to a runway.
To combine the medical centers alone, more than 160 working groups are deciding what assets and services will be at Bethesda or at Belvoir or at both.
Mateczun said judgments the task force makes in taking control of all medical assets in the region, and how that command operates, will inform a long-running debate over whether to establish a joint or unified medical command to oversee all military medical personnel and resources.

Is it ok to mix baby cereal with water? I hate to waste breastmilk on food they may not eat. Will it be less tasty - and therefore will they be less likely to eat it??
Is it ok to mix baby cereal with water? I hate to waste breastmilk on food they may not eat. Will it be less tasty - and therefore will they be less likely to eat it??
My box says it can be mixed with water, but for young babies starting solids, I think they are more likely to experiment with it if it's mixed with breastmilk (certainly for the bf'd baby) or formula. Keep in mind that it can be very thin to start - really just slightly thicker than breastmilk, so the primary taste will still be very much like breastmilk. That encourages babies to try out both a new taste and new texture.
Also, using breastmilk or formula ensures that DB is getting the most nutrition out of it, as it's still breastmilk or formula that delivers that, and not the cereal itself.
I understand your feelings. I probably gave my dd less baby cereal because of this chore of getting the milk to make it with. My nanny gave me the idea of making it with juice. I've been doing this since dd was about 9 mths. It gives it a sweeter taste than using just water. I use half water and half white grape juice.
I tried breastmilk and water. Either way, it made no difference. The baby refused solids until about 10 months old. now she eats constantly and eats everything from the table at about a year.
This first year, food is about taste and texture, not about nutrition. I would say it is ok to mix it with water. Just make sure you bf before giving the cereal.
Ds pretty much hates it with just water. He loves it with breastmilk. Usually now, though, I mix it with fruit or veggies.
As to texture, he liked it thick right from the start. I personally don't like the idea of having him drink it off the spoon; it's called a "solid" food for a reason.

BEREA, Ohio — The racing wiener dogs at FirstEnergy Stadium got more exercise after the first half Sunday than Detroit Lions rookie punter Sam Martin.
Martin was only trotted out to hold for extra-point and field-goal attempts during a second half in which the Lions converted 6 of 7 third-down tries on the way to a 31-17 victory.
Although the Browns are allowing the fewest yards per play (4.6) in the NFL, they continue to struggle with third-down defense.

8 year old's progress
Over the last few years my 8 yr.old son has caught bluegill and bass on his zebco and a floater by himself.We done the I hook hand him the pole thing some last year.Now he is trying to catch a trout on a fly and fly rod by himself.If I had'nt messed up my knee I think he would have done it this weekend.Yesterday he picked his own fly fished a easy strip I followed and pointed 10 holes 4 misses 4 diff.holes had 1 trout 5" or so out of the water but it got off got hung up 3 times all were reachable.This mourning same fly fished another easy strip 12 holes 3 misses 3 diff.holes caught 2 chubs [or whatever they are]4" or so had 1 trout 8" or so out of the water got off also hung up 2 times again both were reachable has'nt lost a fly.Told me when he caught a trout I had to stop calling him the 8yr.old when this knee gets better and we can get to some descent water Im positive he will. Good Luck to all. caught 108
He is off to a good start, Congratulations on being a good teacher!
Flyfishjeep Thanks A Bunch.I'm not sure who is more excited Him or Me. Sincerly caught 108
Well done Caught 108,
I think teaching our kids is one of the best things we can do. I am always more excited when they catch fish. Having just started fly fishing about a year ago I have taught my 7 and 3 year olds to say that they are "second generation" fly fisherman. I get a kick out of that.
Keep up the good work.
"My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fly-fishing gear for what I said I paid for it."
email at email@example.com
Thanks Cardfly
We have'nt got to go for a while now,Been a long dry spell.We have'nt had no rain and were trying to get moved in to new home.So those Trout better be careful because he is chomping at the bits. Good luck to all and your kid's too.
This is for Caught108 and anyone else out there who has small children fishing with them on the streams:
First off, good job getting your kids into the sport. It is important to spend time with your kids (instead of typing on the computer, haha), and I believe flyfishing conveys a lot of good lessons that have applications in daily life.
Anyway, my father started my brother and I fishing when we were too young to cross a shin deep stream without falling down half a dozen times. I didn't like going fishing with him, but I did because even at that age I felt it was my responsibility as the oldest. My brother was easily frustrated and was actually in the middle of a 5 year-old temper tantrum, when he caught his first fish, an 18 inch westslope cutthroat. That quickly ended his tantrum, by the way. Fortunately, we both came around and fell in love with flyfishing by the time we were 8 or 9, but after some rocky beginnings.
I now have four kids, age 5 and under. The two oldest are 5 and 3. I have taken them with me a few times fishing and they like following me for about 1/2 hour, before they are bored and want to leave or throw rocks. And most of the half hour is spent making sure they don't fall off the rocks or wander into my backcast. They like going for walks with me, scouting for deer, etc, and they are definitely developing an interest in the great outdoors.
So mt question is this: How young is too young? I want to foster an early appreciation and love for flysfishing in these kids and eventually raise at least a few fishing partners out of my three boys and daughter. But I don't want to risk souring them on the sport by starting them too early. Also, what is the appropriate age for a first fly rod? I can't remember how old I was when I first cast a fly rod, but I do remember smacking the tip of the rod into the rocks behind me when I started.
I've been mulling these things over for several months now. I came close to getting my daughter a small rig for her 5th birthday this summer, but eventually decided against it, thinking she was still a little too young for a fly rod.
Any and all help / suggestions / insights are appreciated.
Life is hard. But it's a lot harder if you're stupid.
Kudos to anyone who tries to teach kids to Flyfish
First off, Great job Brian and Caught108.
I have two teenage boys (18 and 16), and unfortunately I have not been able to completely get them addicted to flyfishing (yet). There are so many other distractions that provide easier and more instant mastery that some kids just never will get interested in the concept of flyfishing, on its own. To me, the more important effort is to get them out of the house and into nature first and then concentrate on fishing and eventually flyfishing. Luckily, after spending way too much time travelling to play hockey between the ages of 8 and 16, with two years of effort I have been able to get my oldest son very interested in nature. In fact, next week we are going to SW Colorado to Backpack and fish for 10 days in the South San Juan Wilderness. My younger son unfortunately, is still not into it (yet), hopefully that will change.
More than age, I believe that your relationship with your kids will dictate if they will give flyfishing a real shot. Some kids want to emulate their parents and really want to do everything they can to impress them (these will be the easiest to get started), while others are more rebellious and want to be more contrarian.
If they want to emulate you, I think you could start in the 6-8 year old range (as you Brian have pointed out is when you started and then fell in love with it once you start seeing some tangible results). It will be important for them to catch fish because if its too hard, they will lose interest. Pond fishing for bluegill is a great way to start learning and getting kids excited.
The outdoor experience is important too. Camping and hiking can be a great way to get them interested in the outdoors. You have to make it fun and you can't make it too strenuous, after all you don't want them to dread being outdoors. One thing my boys really liked doing in the park was looking for salamanders and lizards (and snakes!!). You can incorporate all sorts of things into trips to the stream. And of course, being a responsible steward of our resources. Picking up trash that someone else dropped can have a profound impact on a youngster.
Here is a book that I purchased a few year back to provide some insight on teaching kids to flyfish, it might provide some useful insights, as well:
Keep up the good work and don't lose faith. You'll need lots of patience, but watching your child catch fish is alot more fun than catching them yourself! Make sure you get a picture of them when they catch their first fish. If you can, save the fly that they used, it makes for a great piece of family history to have the fly that they used to catch their first fish with...
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."

Thanks Brian and Pete
Brian,Thats a hard question,I myself can't remember not fishing.I do remember learning to fly fish.I took my first deer when I was 10 had been learning to fly fish and deer hunt for 2 or 3 years.They have always been my biggest 2 addictions I'm not done learning and hope I never have to stop practicing.For a fly rod I would quess [only quess] 7-10.Going to buy my 8 year old one for Christmas or Birthday in March.If they are responsible and interested enough I say the sooner the better.Good Luck to everyone and your kid's too. Sincerly Caught 108

Four Meet National Track Standards
February 7, 2013
(Thursday, February 7; Sioux Center, Iowa) Four athletes met NAIA National Track And Field qualifying standards with their performances on Saturday, February 2.
Meeting the "A" standard for automatic qualification were Ryan Tholen (Senior; Tracy, Minnesota) and Erin Francis (Junior; Carrolton, Texas). Hitting the "B" standard for provisional qualification were Briana Vander Woude (Senior, Clara City, Minnesota) and Christy Sikkema (Junior; Ridgetown, Ontario).
Tholen ran the 800 meters in 1:54.40 which was under the needed 1:56.00 for automatic qualification and Francis ran the 55 meter hurdles in :07.69 which was better than the standard of :07.72.
Vander Woude's time of 07:31 in the 55 meter dash was just under the "B" standard of :07.32 and shy of the :07.11 "A" standard. Christy Sikkema went 10.93 meters in the triple jump which was better than the "B" standard set at 10.90 but was short of the "A" standard of 11.10.
The Defenders will host a meet on Saturday, February 9 before running in the GPAC Championships on Saturday, February 16 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The NAIA Championships are set for February 28-March 2.

The 33-year-old Death Row inmate was scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 21. He was convicted in 2002 in a Corpus Christi courtroom for stabbing 37-year-old McConnell Unit correctional officer Daniel Nagle to death.
Pruett was not in court the morning of June 3, when Senior District Judge Ronald Yeager convened a hearing to consider scheduling another execution date.
Prosecutor Alfred Hernandez of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said the defendant was only required to be present in the courtroom for the initial scheduling of the execution date. Hernandez said the defendant had waived his right to be present on Monday.
Yeager set the first execution date four months ago in the same Beeville courtroom. At that time, Pruett was in the room surrounded by armed correctional officers and local lawmen.
Defense attorney Jeffrey Newberry, legal clinic supervisor for the University of Houston Law Center, presented a seven-page copy of a disciplinary report that Nagle was going to give to Pruett the day he was murdered.
He told Yeager that a bloody palm print had been discovered on one page of the report. He said defense attorneys wanted to test the evidence to see who else might have handled the report on the day Nagle was killed.
Newberry said the original document is now in the possession of the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab for DNA and fingerprint testing.
Nagle's body was discovered in a restroom at a multi-purpose room in the McConnell Unit on Dec. 17, 1999.
He had been stabbed multiple times with a prison-made weapon.
DNA evidence and testimony from other McConnell Unit inmates helped convict Pruett in 2002. Testimony during that trial revealed that Pruett, 22 at the time, was serving a life sentence for his participation in a Houston trailer park murder. His older brother and his father were also serving life for their part in the same killing.
Yeager asked when it would be possible to reschedule an execution date, and state investigator Jay Brionez said the earliest possible date would be for Oct. 15.
Brionez explained that scheduling executions is a complicated process that must go through the Texas Attorney General's Office. He said if the execution was not scheduled for Oct. 15, the next opportunity would most likely be sometime in 2014.
Newberry said he thought it would be premature to set an execution date this week because it would take 30 to 45 days to obtain initial reports from the DPS Crime Lab.
The evidence would then need to be tested by a second laboratory to confirm the initial findings.
Newberry told the judge that a court order would be necessary for the labs to proceed with the testing.
Hernandez told the judge that the state would like to see a date scheduled at Monday's hearing. But Yeager declined to set a date.
"The DPS lab is awfully slow," Yeager said. At that point, he told the attorneys that he would schedule a hearing for Oct. 10 to view the DNA test results and determine if the evidence should be admitted. He also said he would hear motions from the attorneys on that date and would probably schedule a new execution date at that hearing.

Nvidia Corp.'s chief executive officer said during quarterly conference call with financial analysts that the company would only ramp up production of its next-generation flagship Fermi-G300 graphics processing unit in the company's first quarter of fiscal year 2011, which means January – April timeframe.
"Next year it is going to be an interesting first quarter because, in fact, we will need more wafers than ever in Q1. The reason for that is because – and I mean more 40nm wafers than ever in Q1 –we are […] fully ramping Fermi for three different product lines: GeForce, Quadro and Tesla," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, in the conference call with financial analysts.
Nvidia's first quarter of fiscal year 2011 begins on the 26th of January and ends on the 26th of April, 2010. Therefore, the claim by Mr. Huang means that Nvidia will only be able to start commercial shipments its next-generation graphics cards based on Fermi architecture in calendar 2010, not in calendar 2009, as the company promised originally.
Besides the next-generation high-end graphics processor, which is usually called Fermi (also known as NV60, G300, GT300), Nvidia will also ramp up manufacturing of its next-generation core-logic for Intel Core 2 processors and other products.
"We will be fully ramping MCP89. We will be fully ramping Tegra. Not to mention the 40nm products that we currently have that are fully ramped up, and so I am expecting Q1 to be a pretty exciting quarter for us because we just have so many new products," added Mr. Huang.
Nvidia on Thursday reported revenue of $903.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended October 25, 2009, up 16% from the previous quarter and up slightly from $897.7 million reported in the same period a year earlier.
On a GAAP basis, the company recorded net income of $107.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with net income of $61.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share a year ago. Third quarter GAAP results included a benefit to operating income of $25.1 million related to insurance reimbursements received during the quarter. On a non-GAAP basis – excluding the insurance reimbursements and stock-based compensation, as well as their associated tax impact − net income was $110.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $111.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, a year earlier.
"We continued to make progress in the third quarter with healthy market demand across the board. Revenue was up from a year ago, with improvement in each of our PC, professional solutions and consumer businesses. It's great to see us shipping orders with our Tegra mobile-computing solution, and growing enthusiasm for our Tesla platform for parallel computing in the server and cloud-computing markets," said the chief executive officer of Nvidia.

When someone evil is killed or dies should we celebrate in the fact that that unsaved person will be going to hell? For instance, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden were evil men. Should we be mourning and sadded by this? Yes. This person was not saved by God and another soul is in hell because of his unrepentant sin and trust in Christ to atone for his own sins. Love is twofold. There is love and holiness and when love and holiness are violated there is justice. My continuous reflection has got me thinking, "Why am I not more appreciative of justice?"
This is how I work it out and how I believe God views mercy and justice. Antecedently, God willed and genuinely desired Bin Laden to repent and to respond to the revelation he has been given. However, consequently, because of Bin Laden's rejection of God and infatuation with evil, God has willed that Bin Laden atone for his own sins and for there to be justice. This justice is his death and punishment in the afterlife. Why am I not taking joy in God's justice? I believe my apprehension of justice is far removed from how God loves justice since it is ontologically based in him.


text: I quit drinking coffee when I got pregnant with my DS, but after a month I was having a hard time functioning I had terrible migranes for weeks and was very exhausted. So I went back to drinking just every now and then. I drank a cup or so after he was born and noticed he had problems sleeping. It got better after a few months, so now he is almost 10 months and I drink about 1-3 cups a day. Mainly in the morning.

His body is a breathing landscape.
His neck falls into a valley from the
Cliff of his chin, moves into
Mounds between
Two mountainous shoulders and
Hills, covered with grasslands. Or,
There may be dunes, a barren-smooth
Desert filled with black sands.
Stomach dips and dives and finds a lonely
Stonehenge, covered by moss-covered boulders.
Bering Strait, a
Latent fountain lies within –
Waiting to explode onto her neighboring mounds and mountains.
She envisions twin pillars of stone flesh,
Sharp curves meshed to form shadows at dusk,
Hinged to continue contours and ridged ridges.
And with his extremes,
Palms branch fingers made to caress
Skin, venturing her lands.
Discovering perfect imperfections with most intrigued hands.
