A Grab-bag of Gratefulness
We have many reasons to be thankful this time of year. Of course Jeff is still aglow from the Cardinals winning the World Series and I still get a heart flutter when I think back to the final out between the Tigers and Yankees. Add in Verlander's Cy Young and MVP awards and how could I not be a grateful person?
But more than that, we are thankful for all of our readers who make writing this blog so much fun. And of course, we'd like to show you how grateful we are by sharing our gift from the Pass the Crown contest. If you haven't already sent a picture to email@example.com showing why you're RSBS's biggest fan, there's still time to do so.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us and please try to stay out of mom's way unless you know what you're doing.

The exact words(phrase)
Kakot was a Chukchi who worked on the Maud 1920-25. He was Kakonita's father
The Chukchi Kakot appeared by the Maud when she was lying by Cape Serdsje Kamen in winter 1920. He wanted a job, and after some thought Amundsen engaged him as a general worker, who was to do anything from chopping wood to washing up. After a while he was allowed to help Amundsen in the galley. One day he brought his 4 year old daughter Kakonita, who was motherless and covered in dirt and sores. Amundsen washed and looked after her until she was in good health. Kakot left the Maud in February 1921 leaving Amundsen to continue to look after Kakonita. He returned later with a new wife, and both worked on board as long as the Maud expedition lasted.
Together with Charles Carpendale's 10 year old daughter Camilla, Kakonita travelled with Amundsen to his home at Svartskog outside Oslo where they lived until 1925. Then were then sent back to the Carpendale family as Amundsen was now bankrupt. Kakonita did not go back to her father, who obtained no more work after the Maud expedition.

Beginning on Sunday, September 25 an outdoor laser exhibit at the Maryland Science Center will present a unique blend of astronomy and art. Hubble spectral observations of distant galaxies will be projected onto the Maryland Science Center with an intense green laser. Educational activities will allow students to explore the world of light and color in astronomy.
The Hubble Space Telescope is famous for its spectacular images of distant galaxies, glittering stars, and colorful planets. But Hubble does more than just take pretty pictures. Its suite of instruments can also divide light into a rainbow of color called a spectrum. Encoded in the spectrum is a host of information about celestial objects, including their motion, chemical composition, and temperature. Spectroscopy is crucial for finding black holes, characterizing the atmospheres of other planets, and plumbing the depths of the invisible universe.
Normally, only astronomers see these invaluable spectral signatures. But German artist Tim Otto Roth and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore have teamed up to transform the Hubble data into vibrant waves of emerald green light from a high-powered laser which ripple across the steel facade of the Maryland Science Center. This laser projection looks like a string of squiggly lines. It takes an astronomer's trained eye to decode a star's signature into new information sent to us from billions of years ago by galaxies, stars, and quasars.
A number of educational activities are built around the theme "Exploring the World of Light and Color," that will be done in cooperation with the Maryland Science Center.
The exhibit runs through October 18. Hours are from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. each evening. The Maryland Science Center is located at 601 Light Street in Baltimore.

The Land Tax was created in 1692 and was voted annually by Parliament until 1798 when it became a perpetual charge, which could be redeemed by the payment of a lump sum. After 1949 compulsory redemption was introduced in certain circumstances until the Finance Act of 1963 abolished all unredeemed land tax from 25 March 1963. This talk looks at the operation of the land tax, redemption, and the work of the Land Tax Redemption Office and its surviving records in series IR 20 to IR 25. Mention is also made of surviving land tax returns in county record offices and archives. Mark Pearsall is the Principal Records Specialist - Family History and manages the Family History team in the Advice and Records Knowledge department. He has written guides and contributed articles to a number of family and local history publications, and has also produced transcriptions and finding aids for various record series.

Expert Q & A Answers About genital warts child abuse
What can cause genital warts in young children?
I'm looking for information about genital warts in children. My friend's 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed with genital warts on her thighs and buttocks. The pediatrician brought up the possibility of sexual abuse. The parents don't have any evidence of this, but the wart coincided with their daughter starting preschool. One day, the girl came home with different underwear provided by the school because she wet her pants. Could the underpants have transmitted the warts? The doctor gave them a cream to put on the warts but they are not going away and one is growing like cauliflower. Should the warts be removed? Should the mother be worried about getting warts on her hands when she applies the cream to her daughter? They also have three other young children who share the same bathroom...can genital warts spread to the other children via the toilet seat or towels? Any information you can provide would be very helpful!

Big Eddy Film Festival this weekend; Independent films will screen in Narrowsburg, NY
As Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck rage against the supposed indoctrination of today's children by "extremist" liberal institutions, Commie Camp shows what really goes on at one these training camps. Comedian and filmmaker Katie Halper returns to her socialist Jewish summer camp, Camp Kinderland, which, since 1923, has been preaching the gospel of peace and social justice for all. The film follows articulate and hilarious nine year olds during a recent summer, as they consider the world, from Harriet Tubman, to Hiroshima, to water-boarding. The timely film demonstrates respectful and reflective transmission of human values and rebuts the distortions of the right-wing extremists.

A documentary about greed, politics and the land grab of the century, Zipper chronicles the battle over an American cultural icon: Coney Island. Small-time ride operator Eddie Miranda, proudly operates a 38-year-old carnival contraption called the Zipper in the heart of Coney Island's gritty amusement district. When his rented lot is snatched up by an opportunistic real estate mogul, Eddie and his ride become casualties of a power struggle between the developer and the City of New York over the future of the world-famous destination. Be it an affront to history, or simply the path of progress, the spirit of Coney Island is at stake. In an increasingly corporate landscape, where authenticity is often sacrificed in the interest of economic growth, the Zipper may be just the beginning of what is lost.
"Hide Your Smiling Faces"
Saturday, September 21 at 7 p.m.
Director: Daniel Carbone
"Hide Your Smiling Faces" vividly depicts the young lives of two brothers as they abruptly come of age through the experience of a friend's mysterious death. The event ripples under the surface of their town, unsettling the brothers and their friends in a way that they can't fully understand. Once-familiar interactions begin to take on a macabre tone in light of the tragic accident, leading Eric, 14, and Tommy, 9, to retreat into their wild surroundings. As the two brothers vocally face the questions they have about mortality, they simultaneously hold their own silent debates within their minds that build into seemingly insurmountable moral peaks. "Hide Your Smiling Faces" is a true, headlong glimpse into the raw spirit of youth, as well as the calluses that one often develops as a result of an unfiltered past.

Hi ladies
I'm so happy that I found this forum I need help & encouragement!! I have just begun trying to relactate & just don't know what to expect in terms of how long it will take to see any milk. My LC said we'd know in a week if it was gonna work & so far, no milk has appeared.
My story: I had a breast augmentation & lift that was performed through the areola. My surgeon as well as my OB both told me I'd never bf. So, I basically didn't try too hard My ds wouldn't stay latched on so I just assumed that he wasn't getting anything. BUT then, once we were home from the hospital, I was leaking after being in the shower so I put him to the breast & I heard him swallow a few times! I had really struggled with bf'ing my older 2 dd's & went into this pregnancy thinking I'd ff. My dh (who now says he's sorry) reminded me how bad my bf'ing experiences had been before & encouraged me to go forward with ff'ing. So, we did. Fast forward to now. My ds is 5.5 mo & is allergic to everything under the sun (or so it seems). He has to drink an extremely expensive, amino acid-based formula. He is a little behind developmentally & I think it's b/c of lack of good nutrition.
I've been taking Reglan for 6 days (10 mg 4xday) and pumping for 5 days (8 or 9 xday). Would Domperidone be better? My ob wouldn't prescribe it. She said it isn't safe Is it too soon to see any milk or should I be seeing something by now? Even a drop would greatly encourage me!!

I've been trawling the internet and trying lots of fixes but I can/t get my apache web server to run!
It installed OK with localhost as server and domain name.
I'm using vista and i tried running "monitor apache servers" as admin but when I click start it still tells me:
"The requested operation has failed!"
When I click "start" as an admin I get this error:
Code: Select all
"httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.2 for ServerName
<OS 10048>Only one usage of each socket address <protocol/network address/port> is normally permitted. :make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

The entry line for ServerName in the httpd.conf file looks like this:
Code: Select all
ServerName localhost
and the Listen one looks like this:
Code: Select all
Listen 80
I turned off my firewall and that didn't change anything. Tried to make a static IP to be able to forward the port: 80 on my router but failed to create the static IP (internet wouldnt work)
I checked if anything is using port 80 by doing "netstat -a" in command prompt and 0.0.0.0:80 is in a listening state?
I have no clue what to do to get it working =/
Any ideas?
Hope someone can help!

Great thread Dwon!
Another matinee game, good for us guys in Europe.
I'll be back home (New York) in July
Until then, I'll have to rely on League Pass and watch the games the next day, with the exception of matinees.
I hope the winning streak starts here, or we hire a new coaching staff or trade a couple of players, whatever neccessary to win again, not only 4-5 games, but something like a .600 season or better....that would be something.....

Elkins High School's girls coach steps down
Elkins High School's veteran girls basketball coach Nancy Lewis has resigned from her position after this past season.
Her resignation was approved at Monday night's Randolph County Board of Education meeting.
"I'm going to miss coaching," Lewis said. "I will definitely miss the kids, but there are some other things that I would like to be doing in the near future."
Lewis was the head coach at Elkins High School for the past 26 seasons.
Before taking the reigns at Elkins, Lewis coached at Coalton for two seasons.
While at Elkins High School she has made it the state tournament eight times, with the last trip during the 2006-2007 season.
Her teams won 16 regional titles and 15 sectional championships.
Lewis led Coalton to two state tournament appearances and made it to the state finals in 1981, losing to Tyler County.
"Over the last 26 seasons I have had a wonderful group of girls," Lewis said. "Next winter I will be able to go to games and watch Elkins play, It will be different not to be on the sidelines coaching."

Heading into a holiday weekend, the La Crosse Police Reserve Commander says contact after hours in Riverside Park is down about 30%.
The reserves, along with students from all three area colleges, go on potentially lifesaving patrols Thursday-Saturday nights. It's a continued effort to stop people from going into the Mississippi River.
Since St. Patrick's Day falls on Sunday this year, the patrols will be extended to that night as well.
Adam Wohlwend, the La Crosse Police Reserve Commander, says convenient scheduling by the schools is helping keep the patrol numbers up.
"It just so happens the weekends that they had spring break are alternating weekends, so we have one college that's dedicated this weekend and they should have volunteers down here as well," says Wohlwend.
Wohlwend guesses the decrease in contacts is due in part to the weather.

Another factor which has come to mind is with reference to the assumption that following Cameron's speech this morning he has shot the Ukip fox where Conservative-held marginals are concerned, thus removing the threat that Ukip might take Conservative votes, thereby letting Labour gain the seat.
It should be noted that unless MilibandE reverses his current position of denying the electorate a referendum on EU membership, his policy may well work to the disadvantage of Labour MPs whose seat is classified as marginal, whereby as things stand today Labour may well lose votes to Ukip, thus letting the Conservative candidate win – which is a sure-fire way of losing ones "Balls", but I digress. Were I a betting man I could see myself putting a tenner on a change of "European" policy" prior to 2015 – one feels sure that "Mrs. Gary" will be bending the ear of EdM long before we reach "High Noon".
There must be great concern among eurosceptics that a repeat of 1975 will occur, when the 'No' side were heavily out-spent and heavily out-PR'd by their opponents. Perhaps a move should be made to hire whoever managed the last 'No' campaign in Switzerland, or make an attept to "poach" Helle Hagenau – who is actually from Denmark – and worked as Secretary General in Norway's "No to EU" in 2001. Lets face it, it has got to be worth a try, especially if it prevents a "Matthew Elliott" type with an over-inflated opinion of his self-importance getting his hands on the 'No' campaign tiller.
Just a couple of random thoughts – there will probably be others….…..

Good afternoon,
The first Superintendents' Conference took place this week. They are going very well, and it is always good have the opportunity to receive your feedback on education issues that concern all of us.
Next Thursday marks the
second anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.
I would like to encourage classroom teachers and administrators to
remind, reflect, and educate students about the significance and impact of this
event, with grade- and age-appropriate information. The following website-hosted by
Today's message includes:
Teacher Certification Updates
Activities to Assist Teachers in Moving From Initial to Standard Certification
Two electronic application formats for providing programs and services that will assist beginning teachers in establishing their eligibility for the Standard Teaching Certificate will be on line by the close of business on Monday, September 8. This includes the formats for "X" type CPDUs and induction/mentoring programs, which will be new screens in the existing Professional Development Provider System. A new screen will also be added in the next two weeks for the two graduate-level courses. Several of the draft templates have been streamlined. However, those of you who have planned your submissions around those documents will find that the electronic version requires most of the same information. We encourage you to use these formats to submit your proposals as quickly as possible. Background information and a link to the electronic formats can be found at
District Responsibilities for Administrative Certificate Renewal
The new administrative certificate renewal system is in place. However, as of September 1, only 470 out of 1,117 districts and co-ops have established reviewers on the electronic tracking system CeRTS. This presents a problem for hundreds if not thousands of individual administrators who must participate in the certificate renewal process. Until the district or cooperative reviewers are identified on CeRTS, they are unable to enter their plans, submit claims for credit, or complete any reviewer duties assigned to them.
District responsibilities for administrative certificate renewal and the procedures for establishing the reviewer(s) for district or co-op administrators are available on the internet at http://www.isbe.net/recertification/certificate_renewal.htmhttp://www.isbe.state.il.us/recertification/pdf/Plan_Reviewers.pdf.
We strongly urge those of you who have not created reviewers on CeRTS to revisit the background information and enter your district's information as soon as possible.
The district password for logging on to establish a district or co-op reviewer was mailed with the June 16 memo outlining district and co-op responsibilities. If a superintendent or co-op director cannot locate the district reviewer login ID and password, it can be obtained by sending an email to Rajesh Iyer (firstname.lastname@example.com). The email to Rajesh should indicate the subject line as "Request to Reissue CeRTS Login ID" and the body should contain the name of the person making the request, the name of the school district or co-op, and the district's or co-op's Region, County, District and Type code.
Please remember that district superintendents and cooperative directors must sign in twice – once for the district or cooperative and once for his/her own plan.
E-Mail to the Certification and Professional Development Department
With department phone lines now modified to provide only a voice response, the volume of email to the new mailboxes has become almost overwhelming. Rather than eliminate the email service, we have attached an auto-response to the certification email (firstname.lastname@example.com) and to the responses forwarded to the Department from the agency help-desk. This directs the email author to the website for general information and to the new, and very successful, Online Teacher Information System (OTIS) for teacher-specific information; if that does not answer the question, the respondent is asked to resubmit the question. Once again, we regret that it was necessary to terminate personal phone responses to questions from districts and the public; however, we are trying to provide as many other communication avenues as possible and we appreciate your patience.
House Bill 1180 – Special Education Extraordinary Calculations for FY 2004
ISBE has calculated how much each district can expect to receive during Fiscal Year 2004 for Special Education Extraordinary based on the formula in HB 1180. On August 12th, Governor Blagojevich returned HB 1180 to the General Assembly with a specific recommendation for change to add language that the bill is effective "for Fiscal Year 2004 only". We have received indication that the bill's sponsor will file a motion to concur with the Governor's amendatory veto (A.V.) in order for each school district to receive the benefits of the legislation this school year.
The total amount calculated for each district will be split into four equal payments that will be paid on September 30, December 30, March 30, and June 20. The formula dictates that:
The calculations for each district are available on our website at: http://www.isbe.net/funding/PDF/hb1180_district_calculations.pdf
If you have any questions regarding these calculations or HB1180 please contact the Division of Funding & Disbursement Services at 217-782-5256.

Valentine's Day was celebrated on Saturday the 16th for us. Once again we went to the Carriage House to dance to Mickey Barnet. This year we went with another couple, Barbara and James. We really had a great time. James and Tommy sat and talked and Barbara and I were up dancing. As always, Dottie and Herman Esselman were there dancing like professionals. Herman and I danced to the song "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On." Herman can dance, but I can shake; together we made a good couple.

Honestly, I can't say how long I've had my avocado green Sunbeam Mixmaster, but it is a sturdy family heirloom. And I swear it about shocked me the other day.
But it didn't; it just stopped mixing. And I did what every repair-on-the-fly baker would do: I jostled the cord at the base of the handheld machine, and it started up again. It stopped again, and I yanked lightly on the cord, and it was mixing the pecan pie ingredients again.
I thought about being shocked, but then quickly figured I was holding a solid plastic handle that would protect me. If anything, it would spark and smoke and give me a start, but I wouldn't be electrocuted. Not hardly.
The Mixmaster was my mom's, and she must have given it to me when I was a young bachelor in the late 1970s or early 1980s, but my memory fails me. Certainly, I've had it for more than 30 years, and it probably had a good 10 years on it then.
But it was the perfect size for a single guy; not so much for a mother with four children still at home. But it is the ideal size for a cake mix.
It's about 7 inches long and 3 inches across, and the body covering the motor – avocado on top, black on the bottom – is 2 inches deep. It has three settings, not including off: fold-blend, stir-mix and beat-whip, giving you all the terms you require for cookbook baking terminology. The beaters slip into the front of the mixer, and are easily removed when you press the raised ejector button. The white cord trails out the back end. The cord wraps around the body of the mixer for easy storage; it takes up little or no space in the cupboard.
It is a simple, sleek design, perfect for simple, small mixes.
Every time I use it, I think of Mom and how she used it for years before giving it to me. At least I hope she gave it to me, and it's not something I filched from the cupboard on a weekend home from school. Sometimes, my memory of these stories don't match the real history. I could have a hot mixer.
The Internet is a great invention – thank you, Al Gore – and I found a model of the Sunbeam Mixmaster online very similar to the one I have. The only difference is the style of the front end. The one online is more square, the ejector button isn't raised, and it has a front grill, which to me, would be a cleaning mess.
"This is an adorable working, vintage Sunbeam hand mixer in avocado green ... It's super cute and working just as it did back in the day ... They just don't make them like this anymore," according to the Etsy website. It sells for $25.
I had never considered my mixer to be "vintage," which is a much kinder term than "old and still hanging on." Every time I use it – in addition to thinking of Mom – I wonder whether it is going to hold out for one last mix even though it has given me no reason to doubt it. Until this week, when I was making a pecan pie, and it stopped twice on me in mid-mix.
The first time it stopped, my heart nearly stopped: This was it, I thought. It doesn't work anymore. It finally gave out, and I should have seen it coming. That's when I jostled the cord, and it started right back up. The second time it happened, I was not nearly as startled and afraid sparks would start flying.
It made it through a second pecan pie without incident, and its next test is a pumpkin pie. I'm more confident in tugging on the cord should it give pause in mixing.
But I did consciously notice for the first time four screws that hold the motor housing together. They've been there all along, but they weren't something that entered my consciousness as something to be noted.
Now they take on importance. This is the invitation to repair what might be a broken wire inside the base of the mixer. I'm thinking: This should be easy enough to fix. In and out. Just like that. Good as new. Or vintage.
But I'm not an electrician, and I'm afraid all the guts will fall out were I to disassemble the mixer, and I'd never be able to put them back in place, and I will have ruined a vintage, avocado, heirloom handheld Mixmaster.
I fully intend to hand this down to my children; I had never given it a thought that it would stop working. To assure it another 40 years, I may need to take it to a professional tinkerer. But first I have another pie to bake.

A nationwide spinach recall is affecting 39 states, including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
The voluntary recall of some Organic Baby Spinach is due to possible contamination with E-Coli.
It includes: Central Market Organic, Full Circle Organics, Marketside Organic, Simple Truth Organic, and Taylor Farms Organic.
They are being sold in 5 oz and 16 oz trays and has a best by date of February 24. It's a good idea if you have purchased spinach to check the label.
"With 39 states impacted, people who are viewing this newscast may actually have been impacted or may be sitting with this spinach in their refrigerator," said Bridget Pfaff, infectious disease specialist at Gundersen Lutheran. "So what should I do now? Either A, just throw it out. Or go ahead and take it back to the store you bought it from, I wouldn't take any chances."
The e-coli bacteria can cause abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhea and can even lead to kidney failure especially in children and the elderly.

A Naperville couple who first learned about North Central College through an invitation to a Presidents Club dinner several years ago has donated a wooded 43-acre parcel near Dixon, IL, to the College. Dick and Deanna Mandel are not alumni but have forged close ties to the College through friendships and as supporters of the fine arts. The property they donated is valued at about $2 million and includes a modern home with more than 7,000 square feet.
Most gratifying was how the gift reflected the College's relationship to community residents, says Rick Spencer, vice president for institutional advancement. "The Mandels have become connected with the College over time and had the confidence in us to maintain and utilize this special property," he says. "We are grateful for their generosity and the freedoms they have given us to use this property as we wish."
Formerly a Girl Scout camp, the parcel includes walking paths, small cabins, a shower house and storage shop spread throughout the terrain. The home was designed and built as a large log cabin and includes seven bedrooms, along with large gathering spaces. Given the size of the property and convenience to Naperville, it will most likely be used for retreats and meetings in the near future.
"We're going slowly on making decisions about this property," says Spencer. "It could be used for campus retreats and meetings, camps, conferences, weddings or family reunions—there are any number of uses. We want to take our time because there are hundreds of ways to use a property like this. But at some point, we have to decide if we want to keep this property for the long haul."
A student group from the College's Office of Ministry and Service was the first to experience the beauty of the property, which easily accommodated their needs for a January weekend retreat. "It provided a great atmosphere for an intimate student retreat," says Whitney Roberts '08, assistant director of ministry and service.

Stomach unsettled? Feeling a little green around the gills? Here are eight nausea remedies that may help, especially for those undergoing cancer treatments. By: Maureen Callahan, MS, RD
Nausea Remedies
Up to 70% of people undergoing cancer treatments experience some degree of that "rock the boat" kind of queasiness that signals a stomach in distress. The symptoms will disappear once treatments stop, but for the duration it pays to try to keep a variety of nibbles on hand, particularly ones with proven anti-nausea benefits. What follows is a list of eight types of foods shown to help alleviate or minimize some of the nausea that can come with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Some general rules of thumb for cooks: keep portions small, keep the room cool, and keep cooking odors to a minimum. Why? Too much food, strong food aromas, and hot temperatures can also trigger nausea.
These cookies combine ginger and lemon - 2 of our feel-good ingredients. Pair with a cooling snack like sorbet.

Be sure to scoop your dog's poop in the small Spanish town of Brunete. Otherwise, it'll end up in your mailbox.
Council members in the community 20 miles west of Madrid came up with the idea of returning improperly discarded dog poop via mail as a way to crack down on irresponsible dog owners, according to The Telegraph.
During one week in February, a team of 20 volunteers patroled the town streets on the lookout for offenders.
They struck up a casual conversation, got the dog's name, and found the name of the owner through the town's registered pet database, according to Europa Press TV.
Volunteers then scooped up the excrement, packaged it in a box branded with the town hall insignia and marked "Lost Property" and sent it to the offender's home address.
In that one week, they made 147 "express poop" deliveries and cut the amount of dog mess found on its streets and sidewalks by 70 percent.
The town won the "Sol de Plata" award for the campaign at the Ibero-American Advertising Festival.

Jim Constantopoulos: Guest columnist
The July 18 CNJ article "What's in a name?" was fun reading, but some of its sources lacked factual data.
Let me clarify some misconceptions and add some facts.
Portales is located in Portales Valley, an east-west trending valley that can be traced from near Fort Sumner to just north of Lubbock. The valley can be seen in aerial photographs, in satellite images and, of course, Google Earth.
As you drive into Portales along U.S. 70 from either Clovis or Elida, you can see Portales sitting in the valley. You can also see this from the Lovington Highway.
Along N.M. 467, the sand dunes mark the location of the north side of the valley, which can be seen in profile if you look south beyond Wal-Mart. So indeed, Portales does sit in a valley, but it is a stream valley, not a lake valley as quoted in the article.
Portales Valley was once occupied by the ancestral Brazos River, which had cut into the Llano Estacado in this area. What happened to the river?
During the Pleistocene, the Pecos River was migrating northward by what we call headword erosion. It eventually cut into the drainage basin of the upper Brazos and "captured" or "pirated" the stream. The sediments (mainly sand and gravel) transported by this stream and deposited in the valley served as an important aquifer for the Portales Groundwater Basin for many years.
While the Portales Valley may not look like a valley to most folks, many are surprised to learn about the elevation differences around here. The official elevation of Portales is 4,006 feet and for Portales Valley, the official elevation is 3,984 feet.
On the Portales quadrangle topographic map published by the United States Geological Survey, the lowest elevation reaches 3,950 feet about five miles southeast of Portales. Clovis is 262 feet higher than Portales at an elevation of 4,268 feet and Cannon Air Force Base is even higher at 4,285 feet. Melrose sits at an elevation of 4,413 feet, 407 feet higher than Portales.
So while it may be quite subtle, Portales is in fact located in a former stream valley containing sediments carried by the east-flowing Brazos River.

What would be a better archetypal label for the outcast, the pariah, the misfit, the social castaway? My mind is drawing a blank here and I'm certain there must be a term Campbell used for the outcast.

In theology, one often uses the term "the other" for someone not perceived as part of a group.

Good research there, et'. Thanks.
I've never referred to 'the other,' but that term appeals to me on some dark visceral level more than outcast--but I'll certainly use various synonyms for that archetype.
Thanks, all.

All this talk about "outsiders" reminds me of a joke [which could also work on dcampi's thread "shaky"]:
Little drunk at bar, to guy to right of him: 'Did you spill your drink in my lap?' Indignant denial. Little drunk turns to guy to left of him. Same question, same indignant denial Little drunk nods sagely. 'Just as I thought. An inside job.'
All this talk about "outsiders" also reminds me that there wouldn't be any 'outsiders' around here if there weren't any 'insiders'.

In my opinion: the way to become an insider is to be friendly and polite, even while disagreeing. If there are any outsiders here, then they are self-made; and a good way to do that is to be impolite and disagreeable.
In this board's entire history, no newcomer who has been friendly and polite has ever been "told off". Any ugliness by "senior" members has been in response to ugliness.
I don't think it should come as a surprise to anyone who persists in attacking (be it mild or strong) despite having been asked not to, that the recipient(s) may eventually strike back.

An aside--strictly personal; I just sent this in a PM in response to the above post, and decided to put it here:
I have never seen any need for people to be mean to each other. But then, I am very fortunate in that I was raised with all kinds of examples of how to be loving, and had only the usual schoolmate meannesses to deal with. I feel sorry for people raised where the primary interaction is being mean and hurtful, because so often they never realize that there IS another way to act, and the way we act toward others has a powerful influence on the way they act toward us...which only reinforces to the ignorant person that the world is full of mean people.

My ds is 6.5 months and I've started to give him some banana, apple, sweet potato. I want to go by the baby led approach and not do the pureed thing but I'm really scared of him choking.
The funny thing is that the first time he had solids was actually a bit of a banana that he "stole" from me! I tried the same the following day and he nearly choked (or maybe he gagged and I panicked).
From then I've been letting him taste the other foods but as purees. He had apple as a puree once but seems to refuse to eat from a spoon most times. Just today I've tried to give him mashed banana on a spoon and he didn't take it. Then I put the banana piece in his hand and he started to eat it! But I must admit that I mashed the top of the banana and let it there, for fear of him choking. He ate 1/4 of the banana!
What do you think? Should I let him eat solids "his"way? I really need to be reassured he's not going to choke...
Also, when do you start to schedule meals?

Former Cleveland Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has found new work with an old friend.
Chudzinski will serve as a special assistant to Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano, the team announced yesterday. The Browns fired Chudzinski on Dec. 29 after he went 4-12 in his only season on the job. They replaced him with Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine on Jan. 23.
Chudzinski and Pagano spent eight seasons together in the college and NFL ranks. Pagano was a graduate assistant at the University of Miami while Chudzinski was a freshman tight end for the Hurricanes in 1986. The two then coached at Miami from 1995 to 2000 and spent the 2004 season together as assistants with the Browns.
Chudzinski, 45, had three years left on his contract with the Browns. ESPN reported that the organization owes him $10.5 million, some of which could be offset by his salary with the Colts.

During the June 4 special meeting of Commissioners Court, Naismith Engineering Owner David Underbrink told the court that if Senate Bill 1747 is signed by the governor and becomes law, the county will need a set of priorities for road and bridge improvement projects.
If signed, the bill will provide $225 million in state funding for counties whose roads and bridges have been damaged by oil and gas industry related use.
One recent media report quoted Karnes County Judge Barbara Shaw as saying that it would take $300 million to get Karnes County roads and bridges "up to par."
Underbrink suggested that the county create a one, two or three-year plan, and then update that plan annually. Projects can be outlined in one-page documents, that can be "shuffled" or rearranged as the county's priorities shift over time, he said.
"What we can do is help you with generating that project list and part of our services would be to help be here for any interviews that you conduct to help get input on how the list needs to be arranged," Underbrink said.
A list of projects will be needed for any state-funded grant funding the county may apply for, Underbrink said.
Commissioner Shelby Dupnik asked Underbrink how much money Karnes County might receive from the state for the projects.
The amount will based on a funding formula based on several different factors, that will accompany the legislation if signed into law by the governor, Underbrink said.
"You may be able to get $10 million per year, for two years, as a grant," Underbrink said. "You will have to put in 20 percent into the project with that. If you have any excess money beyond that, then that is yours to do whatever you want otherwise, but you have to have at least 20 percent to get the grant money."
"There are no rules, yet," Underbrink said. "TxDOT has not created the rules associated with this law, so some things could change from what I am guessing today. You are going to have to have a list of projects either way. You need that, whether you ask for a grant, or not."
"The county is in need of a lot of projects," Commissioner Dupnik said, adding that he wanted to make sure each step of the process is handled correctly.
Underbrink encouraged the county to construct roads designed to last 20 years, rather than build something less than that that will fall apart within two or three years.
"The state can't even build roads that last 20 years," Commissioner James Rosales said.
"They can, if they have the money," Underbrink said. "And that is what we are talking about here, is we can hit the roads that are most used, and get those built so that we can forget about those for a while, and just do the regular maintenance on those, and then we can continue with the other roads that are less used. If we approach it correctly, I think you can get something that will last, but you are going to have to spend money."
"It is going to be a million dollars a mile, or so," Underbrink said.
"We have to start somewhere," said Commissioner Pete Jauer. "We have already invested $18,000 in a lobbyist this year and we got the bill passed... We need professional help. We can't do it ourselves."
Commissioner Dupnik made a motion to hire Naismith Engineering to develop a capital improvement program for the road and bridge department and the motion passed on a 5-0 vote.
The court then voted to spend $25,000 to pay Naismith Engineering for services related to work on the capital improvement plan.

A few hard-nosed choices by the Bush administration in implementing laws to help disabled service members are being rolled back under congressional pressure and a new team of Pentagon policymakers.
One regulation change soon to take effect will allow more disability severance pay recipients to keep those lump sum payments without worry those dollars will be deducted from their VA disability compensation.
Another change will allow more service members separated since 9/11 with disability ratings of 0 to 20 percent to see those ratings upgraded by the new Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR).

Highest quality most effective digestiv
Enzymedica is considered to be one of the best most effective digestive tablets on the market. I use the Digest Gold w/ATPro when Im eating a larger raw foods type meal with bread. I have no digestive issues afterwards (which I used to with lesser brands). Nutritionists locally have commented that Enzymedica is one of the best brands out there. I now only use Enzymedica for good digestive health.

The Best!
I take digestive enzymes to help heal leaky gut and vitamin deficiencies. By far Digest Gold with ATPro by Enzymedica is the best I have tried. Because of its strength I only take one at beginning of a meal.
Only need one per meal!
Price - best to purchase on sale!

Digest Gold with ATPro by Enzymedica works great for me but it's really expensive. I am looking for a cheaper brand that has the same profile. But this is the best though!!
It works!!

It really works!
I had been taking other digestive enzymes for months and just thought that digestive enzymes just were not working well for me. I had been on Prilosec for over 10 years, when I went off last year. After that I had continuing bouts of acid reflux about every other week, in which I needed to take zantac to sleep at night. My sister told me about Digest Gold with ATPro by Enzymedica after it was recommended by a dietician she was working with. I decided to try them to see if I got results. I take one with lunch and one with dinner, and sometimes one right before bed, because that is when I have most of my digestive problems the middle of the night. Its been about 2 weeks I have been using them and have not had to take a zantac once! I watch my diet and take probiotics and these and my stomach is happier than its been for a long time. These are expensive but worth it, since your immune system relies so much on the health of your gut. I am so happy I tried these.
It works!

OK but there are better digestives.
Digest Gold With ATPro by Enzymedica digestive was recommended to me by several people as one of the best. I didn't find it to be as good as they said and have found two others that work much better for me. It's also expensive.
Didn't work as good as suggested it would and is too expensive.

Important Steps: Setting up a Online Store
A good way to start is to clarify the following before you take the first step of going into business online. Keep in mind that most of the difficulties an Online Retailer faces are decisions related to identifying and approaching your consumers and finding the right models to service their orders….and not related to technology…
- What are you planning to sell?
You may want to move only a few categories or products from your complete range online, or may want to move them online in phases. Just because you can move your whole range online easily doesn't mean that you should do that. It can easily lead to supply related issues and customer dissatisfaction which can rub off on your physical retail operations.
- What will your target customers be?
It's no use if your target customers are people who do not use the internet at all.
- What are the likely volumes you can expect?
Put in some target levels just so that you can have something to shoot at…Keep revising your targets as you move forward…
- What level of effort do you want to put in?
Can you spare a team to manage your online store….will your people have part time responsibility? Or do you want to bring a specialist partner in….or do you want to just do a pilot before launching full Online Retail operations…
- You may also want to have a look at competitors who already have an online store and learn from their experience.
- Once you've decided your approach…..you need to get your web store in order.
Booking Your Website
Decide your online store name and book your website with a Domain Registration provider. This is usually very cheap and you will find dozens of service provider through Google. You may also want to book additional site names which sound similar to your website. Most businesses will already own their websites and if you still don't have it you may find someone else owns the website with your businesses name!!
Getting Your Website in Place
Next you need to decide your strategy to create your website…keep in mind that you website will consist of the following
- A website front which will be visible to the customer
- A content management tool , which will help maintain and update the website (pictures , prices etc)
- A backend database which stores all product data and attributes (prices etc)
- Additionally there will be a whole set of activities to ensure that your website runs efficiently and attracts business. Typically these would be handled by the Marketing department in a physical retail operation
There are three strategies that an Online Retailer can follow:
- Use a standard ecommerce platform to setup a website quickly and start doing business. An ecommerce platform would have standard functionality available for loading content and images, manage prices and market your website.
- Custom develop your website to your requirements , use a third party tool or custom build a content management program for loading content and images and use third part tools , services to market your website.
Use a hybrid approach where the website is setup quickly using an ecommerce platform to be up and running quickly, but develop a custom application over the long term.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Get Naked For French Magazine L'Officiel Hommes
Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Kanye West recently stripped for a steamy photoshoot for a French magazine. The couple are depicted in a black and white image embracing each other on the cover of L'Officiel Hommes.
Only Kanye's bare back and head are visible in the photo, while Kim grips her boyfriend with her eyes closed and her mouth open.
We're not sure how appropriate the spread is considering the reality star is several months pregnant with their first child. The cover shot is the couple's first joint magazine shoot since they started dating early last year.
What do you think of the suggestive shot?

PHP Plug-In for Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7
By Sriram-Oracle on Apr 07, 2011
Finally, I found time to publish a PHP Plug-In for Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7. This plug-in is delivered on a personal effort to help customers try out PHP within Oracle iPlanet Web Server (formerly known as Sun Java System/ONE Web Server 7). You can download the binaries from here .
Currently, the bits are available for Linux (32/64-bit) and Solaris 10 SPARC (32/64-bit) only. If time permits, I will try to make one available for Windows as well.
Note: Please note that these binaries are made available on a personal basis and is offered with no warranties (both implied and explicit) and my employer - Oracle or any of its affiliates - does not endorse my effort on this.
I did not have enough time to test enough on these binaries and at beast can be considered for evaluation purposes and if you are deploying this on production then you are very much on your own !!!
Now that I have clarified your legal rights with downloading these binaries, let me just do a quick walk through on how to get PHP working within Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7 (hereforth simply referred as Web Server ).
- Download latest version (as of April'2011) of Web Server from Oracle E-Delivery. For more information, about this latest release, check out Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7 Update 11 Release Notes
- Once Web Server 7 is successfully installed at say /opt/oracle/webserver7.
- You will need to download the corresponding version of PHP Plug-In for Web Server 7 from here (Please download the bits corresponding to your OS)
- Now, unpack this zip file under <Web Server 7 Installation Directory>/plugins directory
- Finally, go to the unzipped location and run the following commands :
cd /opt/oracle/webserver7/plugins/php
./setupPHP -instancename=https-<hostname of your machine> (this should correspond to the https- directory that you will find within the Web Server 7 installation directory.)
Now, you are ready to evaluate PHP within Web Server 7. You could proceed to create new PHP scripts or deploy PHP applications like WordPress or Joomla within Web Server 7.
If you are satisfied with the PHP configuration, you will need to run the following command so that Web Server 7 administration server is aware of your changes.
sriramn@sriramn:~$ cd /opt/oracle/webserver7
sriramn@sriramn:~$ ./admin-server/bin/startserv
sriramn@sriramn:~$ ./bin/wadm pull-config --user=admin --config=HOSTNAME HOSTNAME

About 60 people gathered in a former Elkins Park train station Sunday for a free children's concert and kosher bagel brunch intended to showcase the area as a great place for Jewish community.
Amy Cuker, a Beth Sholom Congregation board member who lives down the street from the station with her two young boys, said she was inspired to put together the event after attending an Old York Road Community Organization meeting. A former West Philly resident, Cuker said she wanted to do something to make other families in the city aware of her neighborhood "and what a great place it is to raise a Jewish family." After all, she said, the huge variety of Jewish resources was one of the main reasons her family decided to move there. They live within walking distance of multiple synagogues as well as Ramah Day Camp.
