Aaron Swartz took his own life last week. The 26-year-old computer prodigy and free culture activist had been under investigation for having attempted to make scholarly documents from JSTOR publicly available, and was facing up to 35 years in prison. This ridiculously harsh punishment meant, as one commentator put it, that "sharing knowledge is a greater crime than bringing down the economy" — as far as the government is concerned, at least. The death of this talented young man has touched a nerve with the public. As a form of protest in solidarity with Swartz, academics have been posting links to free versions of their research.
Swartz's accomplishments are well known. He was a co-founder of the sprawling and influential Internet community Reddit, and was one of the inventors of the RSS feed. Tributes from those who know him describe his interests as multifaceted. And I think that a lesser-known project that he worked on — from when he dipped his toe into the world of art — is worth mentioning as testament to his inspiring intellectual curiosity.
Last year, Swartz was one of the figures invited by curator Lauren Cornell to take part in Rhizome.org's "Seven on Seven" event at the New Museum, which pairs technologists with contemporary artists to brainstorm productive collaborations. Of the various pairings, Swartz's work with photo-conceptualist Taryn Simon was particularly impressive. In fact, in a blog post, I dubbed it "The Coolest Art-Tech Project From This Weekend's Seven on Seven Conference."
What it amounted to was a prototype for "Image Atlas," a website that ran simultaneous searches on locally preferred engines in a variety of nations around the world, and displayed the results side by side. Thus, you could compare what images represented "freedom," or "death," or "America" in different countries — a simple and surprisingly effective device to make the point of how our local contexts shape our view of the world.
Introducing the results of their 12-hour brainstorming session onstage, Swartz explained the impulse behind it in a way that suggests the moral vision behind the project:
"One of the things that people are paying more attention to… is the way that these sort of neutral tools like Facebook and Google and so on, which claim to present an almost unmediated view of the world, through statistics and algorithms and analyses, in fact are programmed and are programming us. So we wanted to find a way to visualize that, to expose some of the value judgments that get made."
Last August, the work was launched on the New Museum's website as part of its "First Look" series of Internet art. It remains online, now serving the added purpose of standing as a tribute to Swartz's sensitive and critical mind.
"Watching him program was akin to watching a magician in speed and ability," Taryn Simon wrote in an email today. "I've never witnessed anything like it. It looked like a court stenographer, but he wasn't recording something, he was constructing and creating."
Curator Lauren Cornell described Swartz as "a wonderful collaborator, warm and enthusiastic, excited at every aspect of participating in the event, and at every step of realizing the project in the months afterwards." She described herself as "devastated by the loss."
Aaron Swartz's work, Cornell said, "represents incredibly important values and goals that are urgent in our time."

Hi, I'm new here and just getting the lay of the land. I'm due in about two weeks and just wanted some quick advice before the baby comes.
I've had slight cracks/fissure in my nipples since about 20 weeks. It's not at all painful. Sometimes there is a little yellow crust along the cracks like colostrum but I've only ever seen it dry.
Just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if I should be worried they will get worse once the baby arrives and I start BFing. Should I do anything now to prevent any further damage?
Thanks in Advanced!

Everything happens for a reason?
August 7, 2013 —
That's what they say, whoever "they" are. Depending on my mood, there are times when even I think it's true. The past week has been rife with coincidence and synchronicity, yet I can't for the life of me figure out what it all means. I'd be forcing the issue to call seeing "Grease," now playing in Forestburgh (www.FBplayhouse.org), a coincidence per se (I was in the national tour a hundred years ago), but seeing it at the playhouse brought back a flood of memories. There are plenty of reasons to experience this show live on stage, but one in particular stood out for me—Cassidy Stoner. As a member of the company this season, Stoner has been doing her part, but in "Grease," she's been given an opportunity to shine, portraying Frenchy, the "beauty school dropout" searching for her place in the world. There are a few other performances worth noting and I'm fond of the show, but this particular production was all about Frenchy as far as I'm concerned.
It was not by coincidence that I found myself at an art gallery in Bethel, NY over the weekend, (www.straycatgallery.com) for I had heard that one of my favorite artists, Ray Fiero, would be showing some new work. Along with some visually arresting photos and paintings by Todd C. Anderson (www.toddcanderson.com) and unusual photo-collages by Helen Garber (www.helengarber.com), Fiero's work stimulates me in ways that linger, and I was most anxious to see his new pieces. All three artists were on hand to mingle with the glitterati, and there were jugglers (www.GrimmyFamilyCircus.com) and musicians (firstname.lastname@example.com) out back, where wood carver extraordinaire Paul Stark (www.oregonstudios.com) was creating yet another masterpiece before our eyes. A chat with Fiero emphasized his wacky view on himself—described in his bio as "practiced and entirely insincere." Decidedly tongue-in-cheek, the description goes on to say that Fiero is a "cross between Picasso, Hemingway and Rasputin, looking instead like Bela Lugosi, pathetically faking Dracula power for an Ed Wood flick." If that alone does not intrigue, the other artists' works were equally interesting, but probably less startling.

Chapter I.
45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay are none.
46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, fourhundred and eighteen.
47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.
48. My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and none by the Book?
Comment: Aug 9, 1936
A new interpretation of the above verses has since yesterday opened up to me; it does not necessarily abrogate the previous one.
The uniting of the Perfect and the Perfect (v.45) is again referred to when it is said: "unite by thine art etc." (v.47).
"Nothing is a secret key of this law." This "Nothing" is "Ain"; the Perfect Nothing of First Veil of the Nagative, back of the whole Qabalistic system of the jews; and its numerical value is 61, as stated in verse 46. (This appears as the first half of an equation, which equation is probably that which is referred to in verse 56 (NV) of Chapter I, q.v.)
"I (NV) call it eight, eighty, fourhundred, and eighteen." It has been shown elsewhere how these numbers, as representing the initial, letters, and numeration of Parzival, the Pure Fool, can be reduced to "Nothing" by Tarot.
But there is another concealed meaning, which seems to connect this one with the "child" mentioned in verse 56, and also to show the passing of the old aeon, and the mystery of the "empty left-hand" of Chapter III, verse 72, q.v., etc., etc.
Nuit says: "I call it (nothing) 8,80,418" which together make 506. Now firstly 506 is a glyph of NV herself, for her number is 11 (5 plus 0 plus 6 = 11), and she is identified with six and fifty, the 50, in the case standing before the 56 (as it is secretly written, Chapter III, v.8., None = Nun = 50, shall stand before "you" = U = 6--another glyph of NV.)
But 506 has another meaning: it is Sh V R, that to say, "Bovis a sinistra" -- the Ox at the left hand, the old aeon which has been left, and yet which is a part of the Perfect team, when equated with AIN, nothingness so that both become none--"nay, are none."
This old aeon, the secondhalf of the equation, is (v.56) to be "left unattacked" by the Prophet.
Now comes the uniting by art of the two halves of the equation (v.47); that is to say, we must add the two numbers 61 and 506, which gives us 567 (a true number sequence) and we must unite the letters of A.I.N. with those of Sh.V.R. which, being rightly done by art, gives R A Sh V N I = 567 = FIRSTBORN - the child of the New Aeon, and of the Old, which again equals PARZIVAL, etc. etc so that all may be said to disappear, and yet the Perfect and the Perfect have become One.
This is further proved by the reference in verse 48 to the Ox (ShVR) and None (Ain) which are so by the "Book" the Sepher (book) Sephiroth, as well as by the "Book" of Hermes--the Taro. The one, one, one is really 111 -- Aleph, the Ox, spelt in full, and AVM of Ch. I, verse 56, the seal of the "child," and which reappears again as the penultimate word of the whole Book Al -- Auma Ha.
There is, however, a further mystery of the uniting by art so that all disappear, but this can not be revealed at present because it is connected with the secret word (the word not known) pronounced by the Firstborn in 1926- the mystery of the babe within the egg of the fifth element (Chapter II, v.49) which is the Quintescence, or Aethyr of the Pure Fool (Note. MANIO in the `egg' `In A Nest' in Manifestation.)
N.B. The "team" of "Oxen" (and of fools) may be the A∴A∴ as representing twice Nemo is Fra A∴A∴ and also the twin focii, or "pillars" of the OVAL, or "crushed" circle. yet "still the Moving Fingers writes."

Spamming Taken To A New Level: Comments On YOUR Blog Appearing On Mine. What The…?
This is what all spammers want right? Your attention, your trust that the link is what they make you think it is, that you're gonna see some good stuff when you click.
It started a couple of days ago, this insane avalanche of nonsensical comments hiding behind the masks of seemingly sensible sentences ought to be typed by balanced individuals.
I received 5 on the first day, and then 10 on the second. By the third, I was deleting these rubbish comments every 2 hours.
At first, with only receiving email notifications and without actually reading the content of the email, I thought 'WOW! WTF – Why The Flood??' I haven't been doing anything epic to warrant such sudden increase in comments from readers, new or current. Do note that spamming is different from trolling.
The comments seemed very real, you know, like how real comments are. (This doesn't make sense, does it? LOL!) I mean, let's say the post is a review on a makeup product – a mascara. Readers would respond with their like or dislike of it, thanking for the recommendation, asking for opinions, where to purchase, or comment probably on why my brows look so unkempt (hoho).
On closer look, SOMETHING'S NOT QUITE RIGHT!

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Naruto is definitely gonna be w/ Hinata at the end of the war, no doubt about that. :D
Really powerful message... Some action, mostly talk. I was gonna score it low, bu then i re-read it, really paying attention. Good chapter.

It looks like its coming out of the ground.
My best guess about who "knows everything" is the third Hokage. He was called the professor after all.
I can't help but wonder if what he found on those scrolls is a way to break the Death reaper seal perhaps? It would be interesting.
I'm really getting tired of this, all the blabbering in this chapter has already been said, the story isn't progressing at all. Why can't Kishi switch to Sasuke and Oro >_>
Great chapter! I hope that is kishi finally making naruhina canon.
pretty good chapter after all...kinda liked the naruhina scene and it is now definitely clear that it will end up Naruhina....
I have the strange feeling that Obito will use rinne tensei no justu at the end....but the question of all questions is: How can the Shinobi Alliance take out Madara? Not even the 5 kages together had a chance against him...(another question: where are the kages?)
We just saw them beatin' up by Madara, but did tsunade manage to save them...hmmm....it will be intersting how Naruto will take on Madara....now we have to wait 2 weeks for the new chapter, right?!!
1, nuff said. Is this a f*cking love story?
Excellent chapter, Naruto actually lost faith in himself there for a minute. But NaruHina ftw! 5/5 stars.
loved it .

If you knw what i mean...
and his chakra went inside her and made her feel safe
Awesome Chapter!!!!
Anyone else think madara was pinned down with something sticking threw him?
5/5 story came together right here. Naruto counts but hinata saves him!
Naruhina ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also B being a bad a** n shoving that tbb back down its through n kurama getting jealous. So much in a chapter it was crazy!
I loved the chapter because it was exactly how I learned to love Naruto when I started becoming a fan of manga. These very emotional moments. That was a truly nice chapter, Neji didn't just die and got forgotten, they kept talking about him and showing reactions. That was good.
I loved Hinata's speech. No one can be jealous in the background when they become a couple. Sakura never gave Naruto any hope to become his gf so it's fully okay when he stands there, handholding with Hinata. That's really nice for both of them. Now I'm sure she will show how strong she became because all her worries are gone. That will kick ass. 10 stars.
I found it funny how Obito tried to drag Naruto over to the bad guys. Isn't that a bit too familiar with star wars? Next thing he will say is 'I'm your father'.
this is the first chapter that gave chills .. good ones ... when i saw that slap , i was about to pass out naruhina moment was more epic than killer bee 's bijudama yeap
naruhina # 1
Loved the chapter, we all know why haha. Though, kinda not happy about it because I have a feeling next chapters will be either kages or Sasuke...way too nice of a chapter, which means a nice place to switch to other characters. booooooo. I do hope I am wrong.
oh poor sakura, allowing hinata take your role in this chapter.......a great chapter, for a second there you thought naruto would give in, obito is gonna go mad next chapter after naruto rejected him and it seems obito is the one they should be afraid of, it seemed like he was the only one controlling the juubi and of course lastly bee became useful for once.
Although I do love NaruHina, this doesn't make up for killing Neji. >_<
I like the part hinata ***** slaps naruto haha
Naruhina ftw. That's all I gotta say.
Neji looks like hashiRama,,,....... May be he is his Son......

Mexico's Retailers Welcome Shoppers Over Bargain Weekend
By Carrie Kahn • Nov 18, 2013
Throughout Mexico, shoppers filled malls and department stores in hopes of snatching up deep discounts and pre-holiday savings. If that sounds like the Mexican version of Black Friday, it is. Shop owners and economists alike are hoping consumers spend big and give Mexico's sagging economy a much needed end-of-the-year boost.

The double adjective: This is the double use of an adjective to emphasise the point. Such as : "The black black man had thin thin arms." I think this is an Urdu device which translates into English.

Interesting. There was nothing on that page that I could not understand, with only my rudimentary grasp of Hindi. It does show that at the everyday level, "hindustani" is alive and well.

1993 NCAA Div. III champions
STORM LAKE—A 9-0 run in the closing minutes let Buena Vista University hold off the Central College women's basketball team Saturday.
After enduring chilly first-half shooting the Dutch eliminated a 12-point halftime deficit and went up 55-54 when guard Alyssa Schwartz (senior, Titonka, WCLT HS) scored with 3:08 left. But Buena Vista put up nine unanswered points and secured its first Iowa Conference win.
"We played our tails off in the second half to take the lead," coach Mike Jacobsma said. "We just ran out of gas and didn't execute enough in the last couple minutes to win it."
Schwartz had a game-high 16 points and seven rebounds. Forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) had 14 points and seven rebounds. Guard Rachel Evans (sophomore, Fort Dodge) added 10 points while center Bry Pierce (sophomore, St. Clair, Mo.) collected eight rebounds.
Central rebounded from shooting 16.7 percent in the first half to finish at 30.9. Buena Vista shot 34 percent and held a 42-40 edge on the boards. Both teams were generous with the ball as Central committed 24 turnovers and Buena Vista had 23.
The Dutch slipped to 9-10 overall with a 2-6 league mark. Central was a 74-61 winnner over the Beavers Monday night in Pella. Buena Vista improved to 8-11 overall with a 1-7 conference record.
"We didn't show up in the first half, and that's not acceptable," Jacobsma said. "We have to start playing well for 40 minutes, no excuses. It's time to show up and finish it."
After playing four games in eight days, Central has a short break before playing host to Coe College Wednesday at P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium. The Kohawks (11-8 overall, 4-4 conference) held off the Dutch for a 46-39 win Jan. 5 at Cedar Rapids. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.

I am new to the forum and have joined for a very specific reason. DD is now 12 months and I want to drop the breastfeeding. Although I love it still I work full time and am finding I am ready for this step! she will not take any breastmilk from anywhere else bottles, or cups. I need now to be able to leave her at night without her screaming the place down!
I currently feed her at 6.30pm before bed, at 10.30 when we go to bed and at 7am. She has 3 good meals a day and drinks water or juice from a cup during the day. She will drink a little cows milk but will not touch any formula.
I tried to cut out the late night feed recently but she got very poorly with the sickness bug that was going round and ended up in hospital. When she started feeding again she was waking for the late night feed and i felt she needed it to build her weight and strength up. I have tried to cut it out again but she is still waking.
Could I please ask you all to help me as I am ready to take this step but don't know where to start?
I didn't have this problem with ds as once he tasted formula when I went back to work he was hooked!
Any Suggestions?

- Prediction of the physical properties of very long-chain molecules
- Author(s)
- Sadus, Richard J
- Abstract
- Considerable progress has been achieved in the prediction of the fluid phase properties using equations of state [1]. Unlike other theoretical alternatives, an equation of state can be applied equally to gas, liquid and supercritical states without encountering any conceptual difficulties. Molecular simulation [2] is also being increasingly applied [3] to the physical properties of real fluids but the computational cost for very large molecules means that it far from a routine tool for predictions. However, in addition to direct prediction, molecular simulation provides valuable data for the validation and improvement of theoretical models. The theoretical backbone of most equations of state is an idealized model for intermolecular repulsion. In the case of simple molecules, this is the concept of a hard-sphere fluid whereas the concept of a hard-sphere chain [1] or hard-convex body chain [4] can be used as the basis of equations of state for real chain-like molecules [5]. Therefore, improvements to the theoretical model provide a direct pathway to improving the prediction of the properties of fluids in general. A direct comparison [6] of theory with simulation data for the compressibility factor and second virial coefficients using theoretical models such as various thermodynamic perturbation theories (TPT1, TPT2, TPT-dimer) indicates that the quality of agreement deteriorates considerably for very large chains. It is important to address this deficiency because it ultimately limits the accuracy of equations of state for real fluids. In this work we make use of recent molecular simulation results to significantly improve the accuracy of a TPT-based equation of state for very long chains. The result is an equation of state that can accurately predict the compressibility factor, and second, third and fourth virial coefficients of hardsphere chains with up-to 200 (and possibly more) hard-sphere monomers. When this equation is augmented by a suitable attractive term, it can be used to accurately predict the vapor-liquid equilibria of real chain-like molecules, such as the n-alkanes. [1] Y.S.

Learn the ins and outs of replacing a convertible top
It takes a certain type of enthusiast, and certain climate conditions, to enjoy a convertible. Since we live in Florida, it just makes sense that we have at least one Mopar with a top that drops, and we satisfy our need for open air, sunlight, and starlight with our '69 Chrysler Newport. Owning a convertible, however, demands that a certain amount of maintenance be performed, as convertible tops will generally only last five to ten years before becoming sun-faded, brittle, and prone to leaks. Our Chrysler had been sitting in a barn for many years before we got it, and while the top appeared to be intact, close inspection revealed dry-rotted canvas, a discolored plastic rear window, and a top that cracked and literally fell apart at the seams each time we put it up or down. Our Chrysler was long overdue for a new top if we were going to enjoy the car, so we decided it was time to replace the top, hydraulic cylinders, and hoses, and upgrade to a new glass rear window.
Replacing a convertible top is somewhat of an art, and before a new top is installed on a convertible, there are some related areas of the car that need to be inspected and addressed. By design, convertible tops don't so much waterproof the car as they direct the water to a place where it can drain off the vehicle without causing damage, wet floors, or wet passengers. As rainwater flows across the top, it ends up at the rear area of the top where it meets the sheetmetal of the rear quarter-panels and Dutchman panel.
While most of the water in this area is shed off the car, a certain amount is expected to leak down the top and into the car, where a sheetmetal rain gutter of sorts directs the water to the inside of the quarter-panel in front of the wheels, where it can exit through the drain holes in the lower quarter-panel. Like most convertibles this age, the rain channel of our Newport was rusted through in some areas, so we took our car to JD's Paint and Body Shop for some metal repairs before we even considered installing the new top.
Replacing the top without addressing the rusty rain gutter will just result in leaks that can damage the car's floors and carpet, so this is an important first step in top replacement. Another important step is to make sure the top's frame is in good condition, as well as the metal around where the top meets the car's body. We weren't ready to put a paintjob on our car yet, but we did have a significant amount of rust at the top of the quarter-panels and Dutchman panel of our Newport. Since we didn't want to risk performing metal repairs in this area with the new top in place (welding could cause burn holes and other damage to the top and rear window) we decided to address these issues and have the top frame painted while our car was at JD's Paint and Body shop having the rain gutter repaired.
With our metal work performed and the patched areas treated and primed, we were now ready to order our new convertible top, pads, rear window, lines, and new hydraulic cylinders from Hydro-E-Lectric. Instead of just replacing the top with a similar canvas top and plastic rear window, we thought an upgrade for our Chrysler would be nice. Fortunately, Hydro-E-Lectric offers a premium vinyl top for most Mopar applications, as well as a rear window made of glass.
The Cash Outlay
|Convertible top with glass rear window and pads
|Hydraulic hose set
|Hydraulic Cylinders
|$139 each
The premium vinyl top should last longer in our Florida climate, which is hot and sunny most of the year, with afternoon rain showers nearly every day during the summer. Additionally, the glass rear window won't discolor like a plastic one, which is not only more aesthetically appealing, but safer as well since we'll actually be able to see out of it when the top is in the up position. This is also a good time to check the window seals around the perimeter of the side windows, and replace the seals if necessary. Our seals were still pliable and soft, so we chose not to replace them at this time.
Once our new parts from Hydro-E-Lectric arrived, we installed the hydraulic cylinders and new hydraulic lines ourselves, and then took our car, top, pads, and rear window to nearby Anthony's Custom Restyling II in Tampa, Florida, to have the parts properly installed. We know you're likely asking why we don't perform the work ourselves like most technical projects here at Mopar Muscle, and there are a couple of distinct reasons. Installing a convertible top is one of those procedures that combines skill with a certain amount of experience, and since we don't perform the procedure often enough, we decided that trusting the experts at a professional interior and upholstery shop like Anthony's would better ensure a quality job.
Additionally, a shop like Anthony's has the specialty tools, like pneumatic staplers, and special glue guns (a paint gun with a special nozzle), as well as new tack strips and hardware in case they need to be replaced, like the tack strip on the rear bow of our Newport. There's also an amount of trial and error necessary to get the top installed in a symmetrical manner without wrinkles. Steve at Anthony's reduced the number of times our top had to be re-positioned and re-stapled, thanks to his eye for detail and plentiful experience installing tops. Since it's easy to screw up a new top and render it unusable with a misplaced staple or two, we considered the expense of having Anthony's install the top money well spent, especially since we plan to enjoy driving this car for many years to come.

Hiking suggestions
Hello, I am new to post but have been reading for some time. I have made several trips to the Townsend end of the park and I am coming the day after Memorial day with my son and a couple of his friends to celebrate his 18th birthday. I am looking for info on some trails to hike in that end of the park that aren't all that challenging, but some challenge is fine. Also, if anyone can suggest a good hike that follows a decent stream to fish, that would be a plus. When I was younger, I did a lot of serious hikes in the park, but that was then, this is now. I want something to wear these kids out without killing me. I have to be able to fish after all!
Thanks for any input!
Alan a/k/a Buster55
If you're staying in Townsend, you can try the Lynn Camp trail...it's pretty wide and smooth (it's the old logging railroad bed), and it goes for quite a ways. Most importantly, it goes by a pretty good stream that will be closed to fishing in a few months, so now is the time to fish it before it's off limits for a number of years.
Laurel Falls is an easy hike, I usually hike that the first day I'm in the Smokies, just to get my trail legs back.
For hiking and fishing, Chimney Tops is a good trail. Good fishing at the beginning of the trail and a beautiful view from the top. It's moderately difficult, but short, I think 4 or 5 miles round trip. Abram's Falls in Cades Cove is another fish/hike trail. The stream runs along side the trail the entire way except for one or two spots, 10 miles round trip.
If you want to do a serious hike while you're there, look to Ramsey's Cascades or Mt. LeConte. Both are 10-12 miles and are demanding hikes, but well worth it.
Elkmont +2 others
Its hard to beat the Little River Trail. Its a nice hike along some great water. You could stop at anytime and start fishing. If you were going to hike/camp you could stay at the Elkmont Campground (fee) or venture up to Backcountry Campsite #24 (reservations req'd) or Campsite #30.
Another good option is Deep Creek from either direction (Newfound Gap Rd [harder] or Bryson City[easier but a longer drive from Townsend]). Again there are a number of good campsites (Frontcountry and Backcountry) and great water to fish.
You could also hike into Abrams Falls from below on the Little Bottoms Manway. The fishing is not really that great until you get to the Falls and above, but the hike is much less crowded than the Cades Cove approach and there are a few campsites along the way as well.
All three hikes are back and forth hikes, so you could decide how far you want to hike and then turn around. So the length of the hike would be completely dependent on how you feel, rather than taking a loop hike and being somewhat committed to a certain distance to complete it.
How many days are you staying? Are you camping (if so, frontcountry [drive-in] or backcountry[hike-in])? I put together some info that you might want to look at that compares the relative difficulty of some of the trails. Its not very scientific, but it might help you pick a few spots. If you can, pick up a copy of "Hiking Trails of the Smokies" from the Smokies Bookstore. Its a great reference.
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
My posts are worthless without pictures
West prong
West prong is also a nice trail and lots of bows not much pressure.
Look for campsite 18 on the maps.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll only be there for 3 days and two nights, and you have given me plenty of good choices to pick from.
One correction
All great options. One correction, from trailhead to falls and back, the Abrams Falls route is a 5 mile round trip. There is enough separation between trail and stream in the middle (at the big horseshoe) that hikers and fishers will definitely lose track of one another. If you're looking to do this together, might want to stick with Little River and Lynn Camp options.
Charlie B
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
I fished the West Prong last week for the first time. West Prong trail is a nice hike, I like the Bote Mountain trail to #18 better, but it doesn't follow a stream.
I also suggest the Little River trail. It's good fishing and a nice hike. Actually, the picture up next to my name was taken up there near the Huskey Gap trail... it was one of my best days in the park.
1971 Hiker's Guide
Thanks again for the suggestions. I dug out my old 1971 edition of "Hiker's Guide to the Smokies". I wonder how it matches up with the conditions today. I notice there are more names of camp sites than numbers. Also, it mentions trials that (at the time) were not maintained, but from what I can gather now, are well maintained today. Interesting bit of history. Back then my hiking was restricted to trails leading up to the AP and on the AP. Sure wish I had been more focused on these lower trails along the streams back then, when I could do a thirty mile two day trip at the drop of a hat. As they say, youth is wasted on the young!
I'll let ya'll know how things work out. I can't wait to get back up there. Byron, be ready to unnload some flies on me!

Leaves of gold: Locals discover Columbus Day payoffBy KEVIN OCONNOR
CORRESPONDENT | October 14,2013Kevin OConnor Photo
Some 90 vendors sell seasonal crafts at the 43rd annual Newfane Heritage Festival this Columbus Day weekend.Tourists who flocked to the 43rd annual Newfane Heritage Festival this Columbus Day weekend admired an overhead fall canopy of red, yellow and orange.
Townspeople appreciated something else: Raking up bushels of green.
The 90-vendor food and crafts festival attracting an estimated 10,000 people to a community of 1,726 showcases more than color on the local common. Since 1971, it also has served as the largest individual fundraiser for its sponsor, the Newfane Congregational Church.
We make roughly $30,000, volunteer Carleen Pelsue said.
Thats roughly 25 percent of our budget for the year, fellow helper Rick Wilson added.
Perhaps thats why the festival named one of the Philadelphia Inquirers 10 for the Road events had plenty of competition up and down tourist-traveled highways throughout southern Vermont.
In neighboring Dummerston, volunteers at that towns Congregational Church filled 1,500 tins for Sundays 44th annual Apple Pie Festival, which doubled if not tripled the usual population of 1,864. Members spent weeks making and baking the pies, only to watch them sell out in hours. The payoff: Enough funds to cover 20 percent of the fellowships annual budget.
Down the road, the nonprofit Scott Farm took advantage of the crowds to hold an Heirloom Apple Tasting Day, featuring many of its 90 locally grown varieties from Roxbury Russet to Belle de Boskoop to Winter Banana and Hidden Rose as well as other fruits including gooseberries, nectarines and quince.
In nearby Halifax, population 728, the Honora Winery and Vineyard hosted its fifth annual Grape Stomp, bringing together farmers, artisans, banjo and washboard musicians and high-stepping redheads vying for $100 in a Lucille Ball look-alike contest.
Back in Newfane, traffic along the central Route 30 was backed up a mile from the center of town as motorists searched for parking or stopped for a fire department coin drop.
We could not do the outreach for charities we do if we didnt have this money, Pelsue said. As for the resulting congestion, she added: Local people know how to get around it.

A passenger on a flight from Hilo to Honolulu attempted to check in luggage that contained what appeared to be a modified pressure cooker on Wednesday, according to the FBI.
The standard Transportation Security Administration screening of the luggage discovered the pressure cooker.
The passenger was detained for questioning.
The passenger has not been placed under arrest or charged with any crimes at this time.
There were no explosives in the luggage or on the passenger. The pressure cooker will undergo FBI analysis.
The FBI does not believe that this incident poses any imminent threat to civil aviation based on our limited investigation thus far. The investigation is ongoing. No charges have been filed.
At least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon bombings last month that killed three people used a pressure cooker.

At last year's WIAA State Track and Field Meet, the La Crosse Central boys were given a rare second chance.
With Brookfield East mathematically clinching the team championship heading into the final event, it was down to Central and Arrowhead as to who would place second in the state. After initially finishing behind Arrowhead in the 4x400 meter relay, track officials called for a re-run after another team was called for interference.
The Red Raiders made the most of the opportunity. After a 45-minute break and a carefully executed coaching call in making distance runner James Saxton run the anchor leg for the first time that season, Central's relay team placed first which captured the state team runner-up trophy.
Ten months removed from that amazing finish, Central is using what happened in 2012 as a springboard heading into the 2013 season. "Something like that happening, at the state meet especially, is unheard of," says senior Aron Klos. "I knew that there wasn't any other team more prepared than us," adds senior Jake Roh.
"We just saw it as a second chance and we took full advantage of it," says head coach Niels Anderson.
The Red Raiders return a ton of talent from last season including three from that state championship relay team. Also four members of the team have signed NCAA Division I track and field scholarships.
"The reason we're all division one athletes is that we all try to do things to perfection and I think we're feeling confident, but not too confident because we know it's going to be a lot of work," says Sawyer Smith who will compete collegiately at the University of Wisconsin.
"To have four DI athletes getting scholarship money from one (high school) program in one year is something that might never happen again in La Crosse Central sports. Period," says Anderson
With most of the pieces in place, Anderson and the Red Raiders are trying not to get ahead of themselves. "Our first priority is to field a team that can win the conference meet."
"We're just trying to take it week by week and not put too much pressure on at one time," says senior Joe Gasper.
"We really want to do a lot better than we did last year." That statement from Roh can only mean one thing - bringing home the gold in early June.
Coach Anderson believes his team is up to the task. "Without saying it too loudly, we have an unbelievable opportunity to do something really, really special."
"It's going to be hard to beat us because we're going to be working hard every day," says Smith. "This year our motto is 'anything can happen' and we got that from last year."

O'Loughlin has overcome a hamstring strain, which kept him out of England's 44-6 victory over France in Hull last week and Chase returns to the squad for the first time in this series after responding well to treatment on a adductor strain he sustained last month during the national team's high-altitude camp in
South Africa.
England coach Steve McNamara has also retained the 17 that played last week against France and has also drafted in Wigan wing Josh Charnley, who will be aiming to start the final after being rested last weekend.
"We have a fully fit squad going into the final, which is a great position to be in," said McNamara.
"Sean (O'Loughlin) has trained well all week and now has the chance of selection on Sunday. We also have Rangi (Chase) back in the mix after training well over the past fortnight. It will be a tough decision to make on who will miss out but all the players have the right qualities to pull on an England shirt."

re today's word:malapropism:
As a student at Uconn one evening I crossed campus and it was extremely foggy in a way I had never seen before. It was thick and beautiful in the campus lights. As I entered the dorm the dorm mother said to me. "It's so beautiful out. It's.. It's uretheral. As a former nurse she realized she had made a mistake and said "That's not right. What is it.?"
"Ethereal" I said. It was humid and wet but not that wet.

Not a day goes by that a perfectly "sane" sentence does not trip over my lips jumbled. My favorite one occurred several years ago when describing the actions of our new kittens when their food was put out. It came out this way. They ran across the room like a galloping horde of herses. Not quite the first letters mixed up, but close to it.

Magistrate's office, 1992. Getting married to my long-time love in an informal civil ceremony. Both magistrate and my matron of honor were nine months pregnant. She said to my groom, "Repeat after me. I Troy, take you, Lorraine, for my lawful wedded wife." He was pretty nervous and often twisted his words, but it got worse when 'out of his element.'
"I, Troy, take you, Lorraine for my awful wedded wife."
Everybody was laughing so hard, we had to stop for a few minutes because we didn't want two babies to be born in the magistrate's office.

WELCOME to all of you.
I was at a wedding, and the point where rings were
exchanged, and the very nervous groom said
"On your ring I place this finger", and like above
the whole place went up in hilarity._________________________

My friend was recounting seeing off his wife and said -
I missed her and said, "I will kiss you."
and we all went into a burst of laughter.

I once tried to explain to a very sweet little old lady and her family where to place the wall bars beside her toilet as she had a very bad knee. What I heard come out of my mouth was "If you put it at this angle you will be able to reach it whether you are standing up or shitting down."
Fortunately she was a sweet little old lady with a wonderful sense of humor and was the first one of us to burst out laughing.

A Spooneristic Tale
In the garden, one man was kicking parrots and peeping up swine nuts. Another was having a fig with a dork, stubbing up the grumps, setting the new weeds, and then making the soil revel with a lake. I noticed some gritty pearls rolling around in a string, and asked one of them where the hair would be felled. She knocked the foil off her seat and said "Fonder in the yield".
"I'm hungry", I said. "Let's leap into the house and have some crunch."
"Good", she said. "I love these pie-spirited hearties. There will be a hawk by the toast, about the groovy mates such as Custer Beaten, Crone Jawford and Way Messed. Then we can go to the games room..."
"I like ten-bin polling", I said, "but I always snooze at lucre".
"Or we can dance", she suggested. "Do you prefer sweet music or Bing? Stiff Richard or the Clones?"
"I'd prefer to go outside to the fanned grate", I replied.
"OK", she said. "They have a gun fame. If we can guess the weight of the rake, we can get kitsch."

Fatal accident in Deerpark
September 28, 2011 —
On September 27, 2011, at approximately 7:25pm, State Police at Middletown responded to a two car fatal accident on Greenville turnpike in the Town of Deerpark, Orange County, NY.
Initial investigation revealed that a 1990 Honda, NY registration FHD3673 being operated by Christian Thomas, age 16 of Westtown, NY was attempting to pass an uninvolved vehicle travelling westbound on Greenville Turnpike and struck a 2005 Chevy, NY registration PJW492 being operated by Joanne Daly, age 58, also of Westtown, NY head on.
Both Thomas and Daly were transported to Bon Secours where Daly was treated for her injuries and Thomas was then transferred to Westchester Medical Center for surgery.

Ok, this band is very fun to listen to. And this is an enjoyable album. But, this album can not be considered gothic metal, let alone metal. I hope their next album would be a lot heavier and I hope they would get rid of the poppy side of their songs.
On the brightside, they improved their songwriting, a lot.
Written by Guest on 07.10.2010 at 05:26
I don't know, it sounds like rock to me. Definitely heavier and way better than their debut, though.

The defeat of California Prop 37, which would have required labels on food products that contain GMOs, hasn't discouraged labeling advocates.
If anything, it has emboldened them and added momentum to the movement, which is becoming a national campaign - organizers in 30 states are now working on initiatives to require GMO labels.
California's referendum was narrowly defeated (51.8%-48.2%), even though the opposition spent more than $46 million, 10 times that of GMO labeling advocates. But it brought national attention to the issue.
Analysis of the election results reveals the proposition lost among early voters (almost half of Californians voted early) and won among those who voted on election day. It looks like the advantage went to labeling opponents because they had the money to launch their TV ads early. Advocates couldn't get on the air until late October, losing those early voters.
In Washington state, where San Juan County passed a ban barring planting of GMOs, activists are gathering signatures to get I-522 (The People's Right to Know Genetically Engineer Food Act) on the 2013 ballot. They need another 100,000 signatures in addition to the 230,000 they've already collected by December 31.
Unlike California's measure, the Washington referendum has strong support from local farmers, ranchers and dairies – both organic and conventional. Its strong network of natural food advocates are fueling interest and another big plus is that the state's new Governor Jay Inslee is a long-term supporter of GMO labeling and organic agriculture.
There's even a chance that it could be passed into law without requiring a referendum. Sign up here if you would like to help collect signatures.
Read about Washington's campaign.
In Vermont, organizers are preparing for round two of the state's fight to introduce GMO labeling. An earlier effort was thwarted by Monsanto's threat to sue the state – the new bill anticipates this and is written to withstand those threats.
"This is about our fundamental right to know how our food is produced," says Andrea Stander, director of Rural Vermont. "The corporate-led campaign against labeling food that has been genetically engineered represents an enormous threat to the integrity and diversity of our food sources. This multi-state coalition will focus and coordinate the power of ordinary citizens to overcome corporate control of our food system."
It wasn't just Monsanto, DuPont and Dow that ponied up millions to defeat California's labeling initiative. Nearly half of the $46 million came from multinational food and beverage companies that own iconic organic and natural brands.
"A third of the largest food processing companies purchased organic brands between 1997-2007, and half introduced organic versions of their conventional food brands," says Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter. "Over the past decade, every link in the organic food chain, from purchasing to processing to distribution to retail, has been dominated by a small number of huge corporations."
Hundreds of thousands of people are hounding these companies on their Facebook pages, calling their customer service phone numbers, and boycotting their products.
Some are flocking to resources such as the Non-GMO Project, which has verified 764 products that are GMO-free – there were almost 200 new enrollment inquires in October alone. Others are using information resources like Fooducate's mobile app that can be used to research the GMO status of many foods.

GMO labelling is important but it is not the solution, GMO products should be banned and the government should empower organic farming.

A quick correction to a great article... At the time of publication, the Non-GMO Project had verified 6771 products as compliant with our standard. Thanks for thinking of us!

As a environment (genetic) scientist, I beleive we have a long way to go.
There are too many products vs too few compliance.

It was business as usual Thursday on the campus where escaped inmate Teddy Munet allegedly tried to carjack a parent.
"I'm fine for me. OK. The kids were safe," said Donna Wolford, as she was walking her daughter to school Thursday morning.
Wolford echoed how most parents at Voyager Public Charter School were feeling, a day after the school was essentially the start of a massive manhunt for an escaped accused murderer.
"I was so worried. I heard it on the radio. I was at work at Sand Island. I was like, God, what am I going to do?" said Erwin Miller, whose 9-year-old son is a student at Voyager.
Miller said he knew his son was safe at school, but it didn't stop the anxiety.
"I was worried all day for my son here," Miller said.
Principal Mary Beth Barr said she only learned of the escape when Teddy Munet allegedly tried to carjack one of the parents in the school's parking lot.
"We got the call that there had been an attempted carjacking in the parking lot. So I went down to greet the police and find out as much as I could," said Barr. "As soon as I talked to the police, we went into lockdown."
On Thursday, she was greeting families with a smile and praising students and staff for how well they handled the all-day lockdown.
"We have practiced that and so it went very smoothly. The teachers were very prepared and the kids did exactly as they were told," said Barr.
Student Jamie Ana said she was scared. "Yeah, a little bit," said Ana.
"Nobody was hurt and the police, I think, their handling of it was exceptional. They were down here all day long so we felt really safe," said Barr.
But parents are voicing concerns over the transfer procedures at the courthouse across the street.
"They just have to come up with a better solution. Why did that prisoner escape?" said Wolford.
"I was trying to listen to the radio, look on line to see what was going on and it seemed like all the information came pretty late," said parent Corey Shibata.
For today though, it was business as usual -- with a little extra outdoor time.
"I asked the teachers to give the kids a few minutes extra recess because they were cooped up all day yesterday," said Barr.
Voyager Public Charter School was one of more than a dozen public and private schools on lockdown or "high-alert" during Wednesday's manhunt.

Gill, 53, a former assistant coach of the first team under Dave Woods, has been head of the club's youth development department since 2008, a period in the club's history in which a host of young players have emerged into Super League stars to the point that over half of the Tigers' current first team squad are home-grown talents developed from within the club.
On his appointment, Gill said:"Jack Fulton asked me if I would stand in as CEO for an interim period which could be 2-6 weeks depending on finding the right person. I have full support from Ian Millward (head coach), Richard Turner (general manager) and Nick Fozzard (commercial manager). I have also spoken to Steve Ferres and he has offered his support if required. There's a lot to do and I know I will be busy in the weeks to come.
"I've been a Cas fan all of my life from doing the scoreboard and ball boy duties as a youngster to being assistant first team coach to now head of youth. Though I have no designs on the CEO role permanently, it is a privilege and I will give it my best shot so that when a new CEO comes in there's not too much of a gap."
Chairman Jack Fulton believes Gill is the right man for this interim period: "I would like to thank Steve for stepping forward to the breach at short notice, albeit on a temporary basis. His dedication and devotion to the club is without question and I ask that the fans unite behind Steve and the club during this time."

Huntley senior guard Amanda Kaniewski's thoughts were consumed with one thing after qualifying for the IHSA Class 4A Three-Point Showdown.
"I knew I was going, but the one thing I wanted most was for my team to be with me," Kaniewski said. "I didn't want to shoot and go home."
That will not be a problem now. The Red Raiders defeated Wheaton Warrenville South, 47-43, in the Dundee-Crown Supersectional on Monday night to earn their first trip to the state tournament. Huntley (26-6) will meet Rolling Meadows (29-3) at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Illinois State University's Redbird Arena in a state semifinal game.
Kaniewski, Johnsburg's Kallie DiTusa and Marengo's Taylor Carlson, both in Class 3A, will shoot in the Three-Point Showdown, which starts at 5 p.m. Thursday with 32 competitors in each class. The final four in each class will advance to Friday's finals at 1:45 p.m. (for 3A) and 8 p.m. (4A).
"I surprised myself and a lot of people," said Kaniewski, who usually is Huntley's first girl off the bench and has 13 3s for the season. "I don't score that much, but I can shoot, too. I didn't think I'd make it to sectional with all the good shooters we have on our team. In the sectional, I just thought, 'Whatever happens, happens."
Kaniewski survived a tough sectional final with nine in the first round, then shoot-out rounds of three and two in overtime to qualify.
Carlson and DiTusa also were surprise qualifiers. Carlson made two 3s this season, and DiTusa made one.
"I kind of always knew I had a good shot, I just didn't shoot a lot during the season," Carlson said. "I found there were better opportunities for my teammates."
Carlson, a junior, is no stranger to state competition. She was a catcher on Marengo's
Class 3A softball state championship team in 2011 and again last year when the Indians were runners-up.
DiTusa, a senior, was thrilled when her round of seven stood up at sectional and no overtime was necessary.
"It was pretty nerve-racking," she said. "I would have never guessed I'd be the one to qualify for my team. My sophomore year I played forward and I shot more. Now, I play more in the post. This was pretty unexpected."
Change in format: The IHSA is handling the Three-Point Showdown differently than in past years as competitors shoot only once in the regional and once in the sectional. Under the old system, players shot on the nights their team would have played.
So for a regional, there is a potential of four players for each team in the competition. In sectionals, it is the top four finishers from each of the regionals feeding in.

Why I Want to Die…
…because Chris Duncan somehow invaded the body of Matt Holliday and the St. Louis Cardinals broke my wounded heart.
Sorry, dear readers, but I have nothing else to say about that.
It is Friday… and we like to make people smile on Fridays… but I haven't the ability; so please go peruse the message boards of B3TA for a good laugh.
If you need me, I'll be under a rock.
P.S. Matt, you know I still think you're the man, but throwin' you under the bus is the only thing keeping me from lying down in front of one myself right now. I know you understand.
(*Shout out to Miller Park Drunk for the image link — click it if you dare)

What an incredible game. Weird how that happened. Baseball is a trip.
In case you brought your computer with you under that rock, I'm here with condolences. And "Dave," a commenter on my blog, just posted a sympathy note to you! LOL!
Would you like a rally towel to wipe the tears? I have an extra one. Oops. Sorry. I do feel your pain as I I've been there. Is ashamed that it happened that way and to Holliday, a classy guy but no way would I want to give it back. I imagine is hard to pick up the trajectory of the ball with the white rally towels. Incredible two games series!
Buz — Incredible. Yes. That's one way of putting it. Defeating. That's another. *sniffle
Jane — Thanks, Jane. I appreciate the sentiment.
Emma — I'm many things… a sore loser not among them. Your team won 'cuz they played a hard 9…all 9. *Cap tip.
Oh Jefferson, this makes me extra sad since Holliday used to be a Rockie. We can mourn together.
Emmy — I feel ya. You have Jose Contreras though, so if he gets in a ball game, this type of gaffe is bound to happen to your team too😉 (I'm only half kidding).
Honestly, I felt sorry for poor Matt. I sit in left field front row so I saw the play. Some of the less than nice Dodger fans were into heckling him before that play and were worse after it. I hate the heckling but I'm sure Manny gets his share on the road too and he will get it in St Louis.
I just don't understand what happened to Matt.
They play in St Louis next so we'll see what happens next.
Matt Holliday…nothing you can say about that really, other than didn't Franklin look just a little like Lidge…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Note to anyone living near Jeff,
Take all the sharp objects away from the house.
Be sure to also take the pencils and the electric pencil sharpener.
Tie his thumbs to his hand so he can not poke his eyes out or remove his glasses and repeat the first idea.
Take the hair dyer from the bath room so he doesn't have an "accident' in the tub when he is in there with the rubber duckie.
And last but not least, be sure to delete the recording of the game off the DVR so he doesn't have a memory of the event, then medicate him until the Cards win again.
If they lose another game………….repeat the procedures.
Rays Renegade
Jeff, you make me sad today. 😦 I still stick to my prediction, although it'll have to be five games now. But I'm sticking with it! Cheer up. You get an Internet hug from me…which is always nice. *hug* 🙂
Ah, poor Holliday. Let's hope he makes up for it by single-handedly winning the next game…
But an underhand catch? Really?
What astoinishes me is that they failed yet again to retire the last batter…
I'm not going to dwell on it, though. Because right now, I want the Cardinals to win almost as much as you do.
Great post. We all wanna crawl under rocks and die Jeff. : ( and I just got a new post up called "Ted's Take," Its kinda like the filibuster. I tried my best to make mine original. : )
Jeff, did you see the goof by "Blue" in the NY game? Horriblue! .. yet, why did Gardy NOT PR for Mauer??? What a crazy game.
Ugh. Still whining. Good grief. Just gaze at the 2006 championship trophy, why don'tcha?
Wow, that error was a killer and totally unexpected. SO sorry :O( Hope they can pull the next one out!
Cat – It's okay. You can gloat. You know you want to. I won't whine and cry about it anymore. Promise😉
Peter – Sacrilege, my friend. Sacrilege.
RR – You know me better than I know myself. LOL.
Jen – Thanks for the hug. And I hope you're right!
XCICIX – Dodgers are killer w/ two outs. The Cards were doing their best Cubs impression.
Ted – Thanks, man. I guess it could be worse. Could be an Indians fan. LOL.
Erin – Yep. Plenty of room under here. I know and feel your pain.
Buz – Big time goof… still, Twins had plenty of chances to cash in.
Prince – Good idea. Do you go look at the one from '86?
Jenn – Me TOO!

text: Are YOU a Downton fan??? We look forward to it every week. In fact, I even got my husband hooked. All of the characters and intrigue are so delightful. This season has flown by and I can't believe that the season 3 finale is this weekend (sad face). So I thought it would be awesome to have a Downton Abbey Season Finale Party. My sweet husband helped me make some printables and you are … [Read more...]

March 24, 2011 —
Tusten supervisor Peg Harrison has been performing the bookkeeping duties of the town since the board voted on January 5 to eliminate the position. At the town meeting on March 14, Harrison said it is a "conflict" for her to continue to act as the bookkeeper, and asked the board to re-establish the position of town bookkeeper so that she could move to define the job and fill it. She said the job would not require more than 15 hours of work per week.
But lawmaker Carol Wingert, who has clashed repeatedly with Harrison since the hours of the position were cut down because of budget considerations last fall, said she was not in favor of re-establishing the position. Instead, she would like to see the town hire a comptroller. Wingert expressed the position that a comptroller would be appointed by the full town board, whereas a bookkeeper is appointed only by the supervisor.
Harrison countered that the comptroller is also appointed only by the supervisor, and she said that is how it should be, because under state law the supervisor is the town's fiscal officer and therefore must have authority to independently hire the person who is responsible for the town's fiscal records. In a subsequent phone conversation, Harrison told The River Reporter that while it is the responsibility of the board to create either position, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to fill it.
Wingert also said a reason to create the comptroller's position was that the person could also serve as a receptionist. She and others have argued that because the former bookkeeper also served as receptionist, town residents are now being underserved because sometimes no one is available to answer their questions.
Harrison countered that at present the town can't afford to have someone to fulfill both roles.
Wingert, however, pressed on and the board passed a resolution, three to one, directing the town attorney to draw up a local law that would create the position of a town comptroller who will also serve as a receptionist, the water and sewer billing clerk, and the highway department clerk.
The board will likely consider the matter at the next town meeting on April 11 at the Tusten Town Hall at 7 p.m.
