Lets work together.
It is also sad to see that some people are getting at new users of Linux. We need to be welcoming and helpful instead of arrogant and exclusive. New users need our help to find solutions and figure Linux out. We cannot bring them in, chew them up, and spit them out. People are not going to switch over if we are constantly fighting ourselves and being rude to newcomers.
This internal bickering within the Linux community is not very helpful and often brings projects to a halt. We need to realize that working together is more important than working against each other. We are fragmented but that doesn't mean it has to be a negative thing. Lets make our diversity in the GNU/Linux community a positive point and work together to promote GNU/Linux as a whole. It is an excellent concept that keeps growing and flourishing. Tolerance of each other and acceptance of new users is essential. Peace, love and Linux.

First, I think that bashing and flaming is not considered intolerant. I don't know what you feel, but most people I know in Computer Science and Programming don't really mind these things (like swearing and such), and it is even considered to be a sign of informality for a while (until the whole sexist business went overboard, that is). In other words, when someone bashes/flames at you, I think we should take it as a joke and a sign of care rather than intolerance. Geeks and nerds are well-known for their tolerance, and FOSS is flooded with them (and their tolerance, of course).ReplyDelete
Secondly, I think a better way to look at the matter of arrogance is to see how "new users". Frankly, there is always a difference between asking for help in a forum/IRC channel and demanding for help from Customer Service. Seriously. In the latter case, you can expect the people there to do each and everything to satisfy you, even kissing ass sometimes (well, they are PAID to do that, right?). However, in the former case, some of those people are highly respected, and they are sacrificing their personal time to contribute. I don't think they expect anything less than understanding and appreciation, both of which a "noob" lacks.
Seriously, no one really calls a person who are ready to try out stuffs, spends time google around, and are willing to listen a noob. No, we usually call people who beg "please don't make me open CLI" noobs, rightly so. With thousands of GUI available in GNU/Linux world (and most of experienced people seem to drift toward something more productive than plain o' KDE/GNOME), demanding a step by step GUI is both impossible and rude. Plus, look at their attitudes. These usually consist of blaming, whining, and refusing (CLI) help. Yeah, right, as if others want to help.
As a matter of fact, I am quite comfortable with the current way of GNU/Linux, so my opinions may be biased. However, I strongly believe that, by switching people over to GNU/Linux, we should EDUCATE other people. We should help them to be confident, self-motivated, understanding, and freedom-loving. We should NOT emulate proprietary world, and be jerks ourselves. Seriously. What good is yet-another-kissing-ass system?

I agree with the post. Very well said.ReplyDelete

There are two main points which I get from Tuxxie's article.ReplyDelete
1) We should not be rude.
That's ok, but not so simple. Obviously, consideration for other people's culture is a good thing, so let's not treat strangers with the informality we use at home. OTOH, in Rome like Romans: someone entering *any* group should be forewarned that there are behaviors, jokes and context peculiar to that group. In some places that could even mean a violent initiation...
And frankly, sorry to be blunt (actually, I'm not sorry!), but this is 2009 and I've been saying Linux is good (and proving it) for _at least_ 7 years (I'm a 10+ year user)... if you're a Windows-only Linux newcomer after all the coverage Linux got, let's face it: however equal people might be, computing certainly is not your forte. So, yes, experts won't give you any respect, because you don't deserve (at least regarding tech matters). Live with that. Next time, when you ponder about learning something new, please consider the drawbacks of not learning: like e.g. being considered dumb.
2) We're fragmented.
As Tuxxie says, this is not always bad, but see, there's a difference in having many fragments following a modular approach and harmonically interacting and being fragmented with parts working against each other. In this case, the sum of efforts may yield ZERO. Ever heard of "divide and conquer"? So we stand divided at our peril, and M$ is laughing all the way to the bank, just pondering how can millions of people be so stupid as to allow one single company to rule over IT.
Because we're idiots arguing about individual choices.

If giving GUI instructions is impossible, then linux is destined to be in the desktop minority. The whole reason pcs are now mainstream are due to the advent of the GUI/mouse. Very few people want to mess with a text mode interface.

SOURCES: Office of Fiscal and Program Review, State Budget Bureau, other state departments
Because the state budget is the chief work of any session, it is the best expression of political values under the State House dome — much better, say, than politicians' rhetoric.
When faced this year with a $190-million, recession-induced shortfall between projected government expenses and tax revenues, Democratic politicians used rhetoric like, "We will not pull the safety net out from under our most vulnerable citizens" (Governor Baldacci) and "Everything should be on the table; there's no exemption for the business community" from financial pain (Speaker of the House Glenn Cummings).
But their actions belied their rhetoric. As usual, there was an exemption for the business community — and for the wealthy. Baldacci and the Democratic Legislature balanced the budget by cutting deeply into services for the sick, poor, elderly, disabled, and mentally ill. They also slashed state aid to elementary and high schools and funding for the University of Maine and the community colleges.
Not only did the rich and the corporations not get asked to sacrifice to balance the budget (one option would have been to take away some of their roughly $1.5 billion in annual tax breaks), but overwhelming majorities of legislators voted to shovel millions more dollars to them — though at the end of the session the Appropriations Committee couldn't find the cash to fund these giveaways.
In representative government, your values are shown by whom you value — whom you really represent.Self-congratulation
Baldacci called it the most productive session he could remember. In a clip shown on Maine Public Broadcasting's Maine Watch show, Speaker Cummings enthused about how legislators had increased funding for community colleges and the rest of higher education — though a few moments later, in the live part of the program, veteran reporter Mal Leary warned about political rhetoric and pointed out that Cummings was referring to a legislative move that had only "restored some of the money that had been cut from higher education."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I liked this idea of a bird house, I made one for each of my grandaugters. I was having a hard time figuring out something for June. This is perfect. The pictures might be a little brighter than the originals. It's hard to auto adjust and get the right color on my camera. But they are bright. Katie

Great blocks everyone. I also downloaded the pp pattern from Quilter's Cache. I just have not got started on it yet!
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Beautiful blocks everyone. Such talent on here.
If you see someone without a SMILE, please give them one of yours!!
Sula I love your block... Seagulls in the background and bluebird in the foreground. This birdhouse must be near a large body of water. Beautiful.
KLgreene as always beautiful blocks and nice colors I love the Yo yo's I have them on my list of things to learn. Your gd's will love these blocks.
Last but never in the least Vanogay. Love the block you designed. Your block is awesome and you have stumped me. My creativity heads off in ten different directions. Im seeing paper piecing bird houses and applique vines around.. but I suppose Im just going to have to sit down at the drawing board and get whats in my head on paper so I can get busy.
Hugs everyone..have a happy and restful evening.

FBI issues warning on fake e-mail messages
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer and Editor, Office of Information Technology
(Dec. 1, 2005)--The FBI says a new series of fake e-mail messages is being circulated that you should not open.
The messages, which appear to come from the FBI or CIA, state that the e-mail recipient has visited "illegal sites." The receiver is asked to open the attachment to answer a few questions.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Opening the attachment will launch a computer virus on your PC. Although UTSA-owned personal computers regularly scan for viruses, you should never open a suspicious attachment.
In another recent e-mail message, the reader is asked to verify an unauthorized charge to a PayPal account. In this scam, you are asked to click on a link to "dispute" the charge.
This is another example of a "phishing" attack -- an e-mail message that attempts to trick you into divulging personal and financial information. Be wary of any e-mail message that asks you to click on a link to verify information.
Legitimate businesses will never ask for personal information via e-mail. If you are unsure about an e-mail message you have received, call the company or go directly to their Web site by typing in its address in your browser.

Town Square
Town Council Votes to Allow Consideration of Some Properties to be Rezoned for Low Inome, High Density, Housing
Original post made by danville neighbor, Monte Vista High School, on Dec 16, 2009
Our representatives in Sacramento have determined, by law, that all communities in California must be composed of citizens from all income ranges and they have empowered the California Department of Housing and Community Development (CDHCD) to enforce their social engineering aims. Using coercive tactics such as withholding funds remitted from local sales taxes and possible direct intervention to rezone property directly (without input from the town) the current legislators in Sacramento have caused our town planners to determine that Danville has a shortfall in its "Regional Housing Needs Allocation" (RHNA) in the low income, extremely low income, and very low income housing.
Using guidance from the CDHCD the town planner determined that Danville must formally admit to the state that we are deficient in our low income housing opportunity that we should increase the number of extremely low and very low income housing units by 187 and the number of low income housing units by 34.
The town planner presented a plan to the town council to allow studies to proceed to consider rezoning several properties, most within blocks of downtown Danville, to be rezoned for high-density, low income, housing (25-35 units per acre). 25 parcels, comprising approximately 35 acres, were considered with an eventual goal of targeting 9.5 acres for redevelopment.
Testimony during 2hrs of public hearings was overwhelmingly, and often emotionally, pleading, demanding, begging, etc. the town to reconsider several of the individual parcels. One individual, and owner of one of the parcels, wanted to develop his property and spoke out in favor of the resolution and in favor of inclusion of his property in the consideration of rezoning.
The Town Council pledged to maintain the character of Danville throughout this process but the City Planner was clear that the only way to stay in compliance with state mandates was to, eventually, develop 9.5 acres of property into very high density housing (25-35 units per acre).
Although many of the testimonies were pleas were requests to remove this particular lot, or that particular lot, the bigger question is the compliance with state mandates. The state is using intrusive and coercive tactics and their goal is to specifically change the character of towns like Danville. The state collects all of the local sales taxes and only returns "our share" if we comply with their various social engineering goals. The law allows individual community organizers (groups like ACORN) to sue towns like Danville if they believe that we do not have enough low income residents to suit their vision of the world.
Whether a particular parcel near our homes are removed from the list, the general consensus of the attendees of this meeting was that no parcels should be on the list and that the state should keep out of the business of socially re-engineering our town.
This goal of retaining community independence will only be achieved if we replace the current representatives in Sacramento. Those who have raised our taxes (most sales taxes are now at 10%), coercively borrowed an additional 10% of our income, use those funds to staff departments such as the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and use threat of withholding the return of some of the confiscated tax funds. The Town Council is a victim of state intrusion and is trying to do the best they can with a bad situation. We all know which of the political factions in Sacramento back these sort of programs and we have that chance to replace them in November. If we do not, and we are forced to put in 187 to 221 apartment units in downtown Danville to comply with this state intrusion then we have only ourselves to blame.

For all Danville neighbors,
There is a simply opportunity for the town of Danville to be in compliance. Annex Alamo and build all high-density housing in the expanded business district. With official notification by Contra Costa District 3 staff this morning *1 that Alamo is only the seven members of the Contra Costa County Municipal Advisory Council in Alamo, it cannot be that hard to annex seven residents, now can it?
Note *1 - CCC District 3 has requested removal of 94507 neighborhoods information distribution to staff.

Dear Dolores,
I just received documentation that illustrates Residence-over-retail/commercial in downtown areas of cities from a contact at California's league of cities. This proposal would target redevelopment areas in a downtown such as Danville's for high density residential construction and second to fifth floor development above retail/commercial redevelopment. Certainly, the area north of Diablo Road and south of Hartz Avenue is a logical target for such low-to-high rise high density redevelopment. Since these corridors are slated for redevelopment, they should be logical locations for high-density housing.
The same logic would have applied to the Town of Alamo if we had incorporated or if Alamo is now annexed. Already there is high-density housing in the Alamo Business District and rejuvenation and expansion could provide needed tax base increases and meet state mandates.
This is an exceptionally difficult topic that needs your readers' review and commentary.

Hello all, Newbie here with a lot of questions. I've been doing a lot of reading and felt pretty good going into winter but I'm not seeing what I expected to see.
Since it is my first winter, and having only 1 hive i want to be sure I help them out as much as possible.
My setup right now is 2 deeps with an inner cover, notch down, an 1 1/2" spacer on top of that with 1" foam insulation in the top section and then a telescoping cover. I put pennies under the front corners of the inner cover for added circulation.
I'm wondering though why the girls are partying up on top of the inner cover every time i look?? Checked them again last night, cold and dark, with 18* weather and still partying up there!!!
I know it's warm up there but shouldn't they be clustered down lower?? They were loaded with honey in the fall. Is it possible they are running out already??
I layed some fondant across to frames for them just in case.
I'm also curious if I should not have created the little attic space with the spacer?!
Any thoughts out there??


text: Hi there, The truck I grew up with, the one I learned to drive in, was a 1980 Chevy Silverado 4x4 longbox with a 350 4bbl. I remember it being a very nice looking machine, with lots of compliments to the owner, my Dad. It had all the bells and whistles, and two tone paint job...gold on the inside, and dark brown on the outside. Here's what I need help with: Dad said that it was a special edition...a 75th anniversary Saskatchewan package that Chevrolet had put together. According to him, Chev put together a Manitoba and an Alberta edition as well in 1980. Any info or gossip, or similar memories would be great. Thanks,

Vestas Hiring Dozens in Pueblo
New Start for Wind Tower Manufacturer
PUEBLO, Colo. - A major employer in Pueblo is looking to hire dozens of people. It's a much different story for Vestas, a company that had one layoff after another last year.
The company announced Wednesday it plans to hire more than 100 full-time employees by the end of March. Vestas is looking for assemblers, painters, welders, forklift truck drivers and mechanical handlers. Over the next two years, these employees will be building wind towers for several companies.
This news comes less than two weeks after Vestas cut back hours for employees in Pueblo, who are now working just 24 hours a week. But the company says those employees will go back to being full-time before any employees are hired. And Vestas says it hopes some of those new employees include people who the company had to lay off last year.
"It's our objective to bring back as many skilled positions as we can, but by bringing those positions back, they will have to reapply and come back and go through an interview process to come back into Vestas," said Tony Knopp, vice president of Vestas Towers America.
Congress extended a wind tax credit at the beginning of this year. Knopp says that's a major reason why the company is able to hire people now.
Vestas is holding two job fairs this week. There's one in Pueblo Friday, Jan. 18, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Pueblo Community College, and one on Saturday, Jan. 19, in Colorado Springs from 8 a.m. to noon at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. Candidates are asked to bring their resumes.

Bush touts democracy, says freedom will come to Cuba
U.S. President George W. Bush, highlighting Cuba's absence from the Summit of the Americas, on Saturday touted the
benefits of democracy and said "freedom will come" one day for Cuba.
"Only one country in the western hemisphere is not represented (at the summit), because that country, Cuba, is the only one that is not yet a democracy," Bush said in his weekly radio address.
It was broadcast while he was in Quebec for the Summit of the Americas, which will discuss a Free Trade Area of the Americas underpinned by democracy.
"Democracy's progress in our part of the world is not total, but it is remarkable," Bush said. "We live in a hemisphere defined by the ideas and aspirations of freedom. Some 800 million people live in the Americas; 11 million of them live under dictatorship."
Democracy is a key focus of the three-day summit which groups leaders from 34 nations in North and South Americas, Central America and the Caribbean. Cuba is the only country in the region not invited.
On Sunday, the leaders will sign a statement that includes what one U.S. official called an "extraordinarily powerful statement" on democracy, calling for exclusion of nondemocratic states from future summits.
In his address, Bush applauded a recent vote at the U.N. Commission on Human Rights condemning Havana for alleged rights abuses.
The text of the condemnation, which also called on Cuba to open a dialogue with the internal opposition, was backed by European and many Latin American states but opposed by Arab, Asian and African members.
"We are pleased that many countries in the Americas join us in passing a resolution this week at the U.N. Commission on Human Rights; they have called upon Cuba to respect the rights of its citizens," Bush said.
"We know that for the people of Cuba their day of freedom will come," he added.
Ten countries abstained from the vote, including Mexico, which said it was deeply concerned about rights violations in Cuba but felt the text displayed "double standards."
This was a clear reference to the resolution's failure to include a reference to the 40-year U.S. economic embargo on trade with Cuba -- a concern voiced also by Argentina and Uruguay which still voted for the motion.
Bush said in his address that the future of the United States was closely tied to the future of the hemisphere.
"Many American businesses are finding new markets and opportunities in the Americas, which creates jobs at home, and promotes economic growth abroad. And all Americans benefit when our closest neighbors are peaceful, stable, and enjoy stronger economies."
He said leaders at the summit were focusing on a practical agenda to strengthen democracy, which could be threatened by poverty, illiteracy and the drug trade.
Free trade can also help, Bush said, pointing to the benefits from the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
"NAFTA has created good jobs in all three nations," Bush said. "Now we must extend those opportunities to all with a free trade agreement for the entire western hemisphere."

Stuck in a ditch, Hayden Paddon's hopes of winning the FIA Super 2000 World Rally Championship category in Rallye de France Alsace disappeared as quickly as the momentary error that left him and co-driver John Kennard stranded.
"Unfortunately, the smallest of driving errors has put paid to our goal of cruising through Sunday's six stages and also to our championship hopes," said a bitterly disappointed Paddon.
"We were taking it really easy all day in the tricky muddy conditions and taking absolutely no risks."
By the end of the morning's three stages, Paddon had a lead of nearly two minutes over Irishman Craig Breen who had moved into second place. The afternoon's first repeated stage, special stage 20, was to bring a sad end to Paddon's rally.
"It was the smallest of mistakes, running slightly wide on a muddy, tight right-hand corner - a first gear corner - and the rear wheel slightly touched the grass.
This then sucked the car into the grass-filled ditch where we were stuck. While we had two wheels of the car still on the road, we just could not get the car out," he said.
Officially out of the rally, Paddon watched Breen take the SWRC category win. Paddon's SWRC championship hopes have ended with no chance of beating Breen, PG Andersson [correct] or Yazeed Al Rajhi who are now in a three-way fight for the championship title in Spain in November.
Breen said: "It's been an up and down rally and we're extremely lucky with what happened to Hayden. He was so unlucky because it was so easy to go off where he did."
Paddon added: "I'm a little lost for words right now, in a year that has never really got going like we would have liked. A huge thanks for all the support that we've had, and to our BRR team who have all done a great job.
"This is the first mistake that I've made like this in the past three years - and it come at the completely wrong time. As always there are lessons to be learned and I hope that we'll come back faster and stronger."

Hello All....To get started I wanted to start this hobby this time last year but couldnt because it was too late in the year as you all know. So I waited very patiently until February. Then I had a hard time finding bees and getting help from everyone being so busy. Anyway finally found some help and bees at the last minute. I started out with langs 10 frame with 3lb packages. Then I found out there was local clubs I could join for support so I joined. Shenandoah Bee Keepers Association
I also recently bought 4 hives from a local beek in club that I put at a different location. All went well with first four except a slow laying queen and then a queen less hive Im still dealing with. Hopefully my nuc with a small swarm from my own hives will take off for the queen less hive. Even with all the problems from these 4 hives I extracted about 100lbs last weekend.
Also from the hard time I had getting help, bees, equipment I soon realized that something need to be done as there was nowhere close to drive to pickup items and the market was overwhelmed at the worst time. So I got an idea about starting a bee supply store which would help all the local beeks and save us some money and give us the touch feely thing we all like, not to mention hopefully grow this hobby as we all know we need it. So after a month of looking for a distributor I found brushy mountain which approved me. Long story short I picked up inventory two weeks ago and started the store with support from my club and my other business which is restaurant. We had our grand opening last weekend, we did extracting for a demo which everyone loved. Had free food along with good deals lol. We have around 150 items in store from catalog. In a small space but we goter in there. "Valley Bee Supply"

Research Interests
In addition to a strong interest in general diagnostic pathology and resident instruction, I have a particular interest in the immunophenotyping canine leukemias and lymphomas. Immunophenotypic analysis is a powerful diagnostic aid that can define the lineages of these neoplastic disorders with greater precision than is possible based just on morphologic criteria. This information is also providing new insights into the biology of this complex group of diseases. Other research interests lie in exploring the interface between adaptive and innate immunity and the role the microenvironment plays in regulating these interactions. As part of my graduate studies, I found a large population of gamma/delta T-cells resides in the red pulp of the canine spleen. Although the functions of gamma/delta T-cells are not well defined, I believe they interact with red pulp macrophages in defense against blood-borne infectious agents. Exploring the cellular and molecular basis of these potential interactions may provide new insights into the function of this important immune compartment during bacteremia and in control of hemoparasites. Other studies have focused on the ontogeny of the immune system in fetal and neonatal calves. The aims of these studies were to quantify leukocyte subsets in various compartments of the immune system during responses to spontaneous infection, experimental infection, and vaccination. The increasing pace and sophistication of biomedical research requires the collaboration of scientists with complimentary resources and expertise.

Preen Spring 2012
Poised in a really impressive spot between creativity and wearability, Preen sent out a sequence of some of the most accomplished and wantable clothes of New York Fashion Week. Lately, working quietly in London, Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton have developed a system of dressing that covers all calibrations of a modern wardrobe—day dresses, pants, jackets, blouses, skirts, and evening things that respond in an unforced way to a woman's needs for semiformal clothes that aren't too done up. This time, that response took on complex print and color in a brilliantly thought-out way.
"We've been looking at flowers, the idea of Victorian glass houses and reading Virginia Woolf," said Thornton. "But we never want to make the influences look literal," Bregazzi added. The pastel checks they started with began life as "pixilated blow-ups of a peony." Later, they began to overlay a graphic floral pattern—in fact derived from lace—not that you especially need to know that. What's more important is the way Preen has evolved a way of cutting that is distinctly their own. One of their knacks is composing dresses from varying fabrics (crepe, lace, satin, chiffon) so the front view differs from the back. Sometimes, there's illusion involved. What seems to be a skirt and top will turn out to be a dress—this season, they're frequently circled at the waist with a miniaturized peplum resembling a frill. That idea of a ruffle also played in other ways, added to a neckline or a cuff, or a hemline: a genius unexpectedly "off" detail. "Our woman isn't a frilly person," said Bregazzi. "But we thought this is how she might like to get away with it."
On paper, all this could start to sound overly complicated. But the designers' guiding principle is coherence and usefulness rather than arty experimentation. They showed plenty of looks in solid colors to tailoring in cornflower, navy, or lemon, and several variants on twisted cloque dresses in white and dark blue. As the lineup ended with some amazing applications of white, slightly forties sequins on dresses and skirts, the effect was a triumph of modern prettiness and young sophistication. They should be proud.

Madonna & Child
One of most enduring images in Western art—a constant for more than a thousand years—is that of Mary with the baby Jesus. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the cult of the Virgin saw Mary cast as the Queen of Heaven, the personification of the Church, the Bride of Christ. She is regal, seated formally upon a throne, worshipped as an intermediary through whom humans seek salvation.
During the Renaissance such hieratic images are replaced by less formal representations. Increasingly images of the Madonna and Child become convincing portrayals of a mother and her baby. The relationship between the two is emphasised by touch or tender glance. They are depicted in an architectural setting, often with a landscape beyond, sometimes accompanied by everyday objects. The Madonna and Child is the subject of small-scale works, for private devotion in the home or as portable altarpieces. The figures are placed in the front of the picture plane, physically closer to the viewer, to elicit a heightened emotional response.

News Report: 50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City
The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

I not sure Lee Michaels was
I not sure Lee Michaels was even scheduled. The opening acts were so bad I think he offered to play if someone would lend his band some equipment. There was a music store owner in the audience and an hour later he was on stage. Lee Michaels did an awsome set. Led Zeppelin was next but the crowd did not want Lee to stop. As for the doves, most of them just dropped into the crowd or walked around the stage due to being locked up in boxes for hours on stage.

If you want this summer's eerie subject matter to hit a bit closer to home, or a bit closer to reality, check out Strange Maine: True Tales from the Pine Tree State, by Michelle Souliere (The History Press; $17.99). It's an expansion of her Strange Maine Gazette zine and Phoenix reader-fave blog strangemaine.blogspot.com, both of which explore the mysteries, legends, and folklore of our great state.
In chapters about Maine's graves and monuments, forts and woods, crimes and collections, Souliere tells stories from the present and past that illustrate the state's odder, eerier side. She drags friends along on road trips to find her own answers. She celebrates the sense of wonder that comes from hearing, and re-telling, these stories. For example, after quoting early-20th-century news reports about a "specter moose" — white, huge, and ghostly — in Maine's woods, she reminds readers about cases of albino moose, or pale moose afflicted with winter ticks. "But honestly," she asks, "would you prefer the idea of a specter moose or a tick-filled moose?"
Souliere knows the answer, and that's what makes her book such an enjoyable read. It — and she — revels in the weird, and in storytelling.
Part folk-history, part field guide, Strange Maine is the perfect volume to tuck into your backpack or glove compartment so that adventurous inspiration is always close at hand. You, too, can experience the "thrill of discovery and realization" that motivated Souliere as she compiled her book: "It is the gradual but certain assembly of tiny pieces — stringing them together and finding oneself suddenly pulling on the strings of a web that forms the underpinnings of our state, its history, its places and its people. Detective work holds a certain glamour, even when your subjects are long gone and when the quest for their trail seems like a cold and lonely hunt for a needle in a century-old haystack that might never have existed at all."

Teaching in Tahoe
Well, lately I have been thinking more and more about moving to Tahoe. I already knew a few years ago I would be ending up there and a few months ago made the decision. I still have five more years of college ahead of me. At first I was going to move to Alaska for a few years and save up some money to move to Tahoe, but I decided that would be kinda pointless. Now I want to move there right after I get my masters.
What I am wondering is what it is like for my market out there. I planned on living as close to the California border as possible in Nevada without actually being in the state. I have heard how California is. It is often compared to New York as far as taxes, government, and laws. I also heard Nevada is a pretty loose state. So I was thinking moving to somewhere in Reno or Carson city to start. I was thinking it would also be a lot easier to find a job in a bigger city.
I was wondering if anyone here lives near here. I wanna know exactly how big these cities are and if there are more than one school districts for the cities. Also wondering if there were any school districts closer to Northstar area without being in Cali. The last question I have is how the market is. Does anyone know what the demand for teachers is there.
I know it's a long ways off and I am just getting started with the info, but I wanna get a head start and make sure this is what I want.

Reno and Carson are about it. You do have the the East shore areas which for the most part are in the state of Nevada. I believe Incline is part of that. In reality, there are not very many good jobs around the lake. The good ones that are there open for about 2 seconds before the next person fills it for the next 30 years.
Reno gives you better access to North Shore areas. Squaw, Alpine, Sugar Bowl, Northstar, Donner. I'd even throw Homewood in there.
Carson City puts Heavenly, Sierra, and Kirkwood within reach. Though Kirkwood is a decent drive from Carson City.
I am mainly shooting for Northstar. I would move into Cali if had too, just haven't heard to many good things about it.
there's sierra nevada college in incline.
Ya, I was actually thinking of transferring but I'd get no financial aid. It's worth staying here for therest anyway. I don't think I'd be able to teach at Seirra Nevada until I got a few years of high school teaching under my belt. But hey idk.
i've stayed in incline a couple of times. taken the bus from the south side of that campus to the hills. it's a sweet place to hang in the winter.

Why Northstar anyway? Out of all the world class resorts in Tahoe, Northstar is not one of them. Seriously, it's pretty dumpy. Well in a ritzy way. Really nice base area and all, but the terrain is less than exciting. Squaw, Kirkwood, Sugar Bowl, Alpine, beat it all to shit. If you are going for park, then you should seriously consider moving to Summit County Colorado, or Park City in Utah, or Mammoth. Much better park action at those spots.
Yes, the Union of Soviet Socialist Californians make it a bit expensive to live here, but honestly, it isn't that bad. Yes the state tax is about 8% give or take, compared to Nevada's 0% income tax. And sales tax. But Sacramento is about the largest city near Tahoe, and you don't have to live in Sacramento. I'd have to imagine there would be more teaching opportunities there.
Northstar. Meh. I agree with killz, they probably have the better park in the area, but as for the rest of the mountain, we rode it all by Noon with the large crowds.
We have a trip up there in two weeks, 2.5 days at alpine and squaw. Let's see what all this fuss is about.
Depending on how the economy is in five years reno is horrible. It took my cousin about 6-8 months to find a teaching job in Reno, granted it was elementy school, i dont know about high school. But i beleive Nevada has the worst unempolyment in the country as of right now. Thers lots of places to live outside of Sacramento and still commute to sac for a job. Like folsom or farhter north placerville, Sac is about 30-45 min form these places, and SLT is about an hour from there. On the northern side there are 3 or 4 smaller cities all within 30 min from sac and about an hour to an hour and a half to tahoe.I think you would have a better chance finding a job in CA its just a lot more expensive. But as far as anything close to tahoe it will be very hard to find steady employment, but like everybody said why are you set on Northstar? I rode Northstar for years and this year got a Alpine/Squaw pass and it really openned my eyes, Northstar doesnt have shit comapred to others places terrain wise, now park they are one of the best. But Heavenly and sierra both have great parks too and much better terrain, same with squaw on the northshore.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. But that hasn't stopped thousands of people from climbing it successfully. Wednesday marks 60 years since climbers first reached the top of the 29,035-foot-mountain. As this anniversary arrives, more daredevils are stepping up to take on the challenge—and breaking records along the way.
On Thursday, Japanese climber Yuichiro Miura, 80, broke the record for the oldest person to climb Everest. But the record may not stand for very long. Miura's longtime rival Min Bahadur Sherchan, 81, is right on his tail. Sherchan plans to climb the mountain this week. If he makes it to the top, he will break Miura's record.
For now, Miura is satisfied with his accomplishment. "This is the best feeling in the world," he wrote on his Facebook page. "I've never felt like this in my life. But I've never been more exhausted than this."
History of the Heights
Mount Everest was named after Welsh geographer and surveyor Sir George Everest in 1865. He was the first person to record the location and height of the mountain.
But it was Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay who truly reached new heights. On May 29, 1953, they became the first two people to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. Tenzing was a mountain climber from Nepal and Hillary was a beekeeper from New Zealand. At the summit, the two men hugged each other with relief and joy but they only stayed on the "crown of the Earth" for 15 minutes. At that height, they were low on oxygen. Hillary and Tenzing's achievement came just two days after a British expedition, led by John Hunt, came within 330 feet of the summit.
The Government of Nepal has organized Mt. Everest Diamond Jubilee Celebrations between May 27 and 29, 2013, to commemorate the first ascent. During the festival, a two-day international conference is being held to discuss the effects of climate change and tourism on the mountain. Some climbers will even collect and bring down old garbage from the slopes to help clean up Everest.
Yuichiro Miura and Min Bahadur Sherchan have competed against each other for years to set a world record on Mt. Everest. On May 26, 2008 Miura reached the summit at the age of 75 years and 227 days, according to Guinness World Records. But he failed to set a record—Sherchan had scaled the summit the day before, at the age of 76 years and 340 days.
Miura has gotten plenty of attention for other adventures, however. In 1964, he briefly set a world speed skiing record, having achieved 107 miles per hour in the Italian Alps. In 1970, he became the first person to ski down Mt. Everest with help from a parachute. And in 2003, at age 70, he set the record for the oldest person to climb Everest. That milestone was broken four years later when fellow Japanese climber Katsusuke Yanagisawa ascended the mountain at age 71.
Miura's recent record breaker on Everest marks his third ascent of the world's highest mountain. "I think three times is enough," he told reporters. "At this point I [cannot] think of anything but rest."
On the official website for his expedition, Miura explained his attempt to scale Everest at such an advanced age: "It is to challenge (my) own ultimate limit. It is to honor the great Mother Nature."

Destined to become a classic in American history and biography, David Herbert Donald's Lincoln is a masterly account of how one man's extraordinary political acumen steered the Union to victory in the Civil War, and of how his soaring rhetoric gave meaning to that agonizing struggle for nationhood and equality. This fully rounded biography of America's sixteenth President is the product of Donald's half-century of study of Lincoln and his times. In preparing it, Donald has drawn more extensively than any previous writer on Lincoln's personal papers and those of his contemporaries, and he has taken full advantage of the voluminous newly discovered records of Lincoln's legal practice. He presents his findings with the same literary skill and psychological understanding exhibited in his previous biographies, which have received two Pulitzer Prizes. Donald brilliantly traces Lincoln's rise from humble origins in Kentucky to prominent positions in legal and political circles in Illinois, and then to the pinnacle of the presidency. He shows how, in all these roles, Lincoln repeatedly demonstrated his enormous capacity for growth, which enabled one of the least experienced and most poorly prepared men ever elected to high office to become a giant in the annals of American politics. Much more than a political biography, Donald's Lincoln reveals the development of the future President's character and shows how his private life helped to shape his public career. Donald's biography is written from Lincoln's point of view. Donald seats us behind the President's desk, where we read the papers and reports he received and wrote, meet the politicians and generals and ordinary citizens who visited his office, and observe him evaluating the evidence before him and making the decisions that shaped modern America.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
David Herbert Donald's Lincoln is a stunningly original portrait of Lincoln's life and presidency. Donald brilliantly depicts Lincoln's gradual ascent from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to the ever- expanding political circles in Illinois, and finally to the presidency of a country divided by civil war. Donald goes beyond biography, illuminating the gradual development of Lincoln's character, chronicling his tremendous capacity for evolution and growth, thus illustrating what made it possible for a man so inexperienced and so unprepared for the presidency to become a great moral leader. In the most troubled of times, here was a man who led the country out of slavery and preserved a shattered Union -- in short, one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen.About the Author:
A Note to Readers:
I hesitated for a long time before deciding to write a biography of Abraham Lincoln. There were already thousands of books on the subject, and many of them were excellent. Some were monumental, like the ten-volume Abraham Lincoln: A History (1890), by John G. Nicolay and John Hay. A few, like Lincoln the President (4 vols. 1945-55), by J. G. Randall and Richard N. Current, were masterworks of historical research. But most of these books were written before the publication of The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy P. Basler (9 vols.; 1953-55), which provided the first authentic texts of all of Lincoln's voluminous personal papers, long sealed in the vaults of the Library of Congress. These manuscripts included thousands of letters that came across the desk of the Civil War president, from other members of the government, from soldiers in the armies, and from private citizens. The opening of these papers in 1947 made it possible to understand just how Lincoln functioned in the White House. Now, for the first time, a historian could learn (to borrow a phrase from a later, unhappy administration) just what the president knew and when he knew it.
Even more recently it has become possible to reconstruct Lincoln's career at the bar, which was the basis both of his income and of his political success. The Lincoln Legal Papers (an organization of expert legal researchers) has collected thousands of documents relating to every legal case in which Lincoln was involved, and we can now trace the growth of Lincoln's skill as a lawyer and the evolution of his distinctive style.
Finding the new sources so plentiful, I concluded that a new biography was called for. I wanted to write a narrative account of Lincoln's life, one almost novelistic in form, though every statement would be buttressed by fact. My intention was to tell the story of Lincoln's life as he saw it, making use only of the information and ideas that were available to him at the time. My purpose was to explain rather than to judge.
In telling the story from Lincoln's perspective, I became increasingly impressed by Lincoln's fatalism. Lincoln believed, along with Shakespeare, that "there's a divinity that shapes our ends,/Rough-hew them as we will." Again and again, he felt that his major decisions were forced upon him. Late in the Civil War, he explained to a Kentucky friend: "I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me." This does not mean, of course, that Abraham Lincoln was inactive or inert, nor does it imply that he was incapable of taking decisive action. But this view -- which is something that began to emerge from his own words, and not a thesis that I originally started out with -- emphasizes the importance of Lincoln's deeply held religious beliefs and his reliance on a Higher Power.

|Italian Sausage and White Beans with Sage gets extra flavorful when the cooked beans, sausage, and sage are simmered in the slow cooker with tomatoes and ground fennel.
Slow Cooker Italian Sausage and White Beans with Sage
(Makes about 6 servings. Recipe adapted from Luculian Delights and The Silver Spoon.)
1 pkg. (5 links) Turkey Italian Sausage
1 lb. dried white beans, soaked overnight or at least 8 hours
2 stalks celery, cut into pieces
3-4 large cloves garlic
3 sage leaves plus 10 more for Crockpot
1/2 tsp. ground fennel (optional, but good)
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup water (rinse out tomato can and deglaze frying pan)
While beans are cooking, brown the sausage well in a frying pan (or you can roast them in the oven if you prefer.) Let cool enough to handle and cut each sausage into diagonal pieces. (Browning the sausage adds a lot of flavor, so I usually brown the cut ends as well after they're firm enough to cut.)
Drain beans, keeping garlic and discarding celery and sage. Chop garlic pieces. Add beans, chopped garlic, diagonally cut sausage pieces, 10 sage leaves, canned tomatoes with juice and ground fennel (if using) to Crockpot. Rinse out tomato can with 1/2 cup water, then deglaze frying pan with that water, scraping off browned drippings, and pour into crockpot. Cook on high 2-3 hours, or until flavors are well blended. Serve hot.
South Beach Suggestions:
It's important to use lower-fat Turkey Italian Sausage in this dish if you're following the South Beach Diet. Beans are considered a "good carb" on South Beach, but since this is mostly beans, limit this dish to a small serving for Phase One. This would taste great with something like Cucumber, Onion, and Parsley Salad or Broccoli and Radish Salad with Gorgonzola.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Elizabeth Frances Holmes
Garnett Holmes had three sons: Elias Eph Holmes, Lawson B. Holmes and James A. Holmes. His third son, James A. is my ggg-Grandfather, as well as Greg Holmes', another author on this blog.
James A. Holmes (1805-abt 1904) married Mary Polly McDonald about 1827 perhaps in Alabama. The couple had five children. The focus of this story is about his only daughter, Elizabeth Frances Holmes Isbell.
We do know through solid research that Elizabeth was born in 1833 in Carroll, Georgia. When she was about fifteen she married Hugh Gentry (Hughel) Isbell (1824-1889) on 26 Oct 1848 in Shelby, Alabama.
They lived and farmed in Shelby, Alabama near Monovello and Sterrett, Alabama at least through 1860. By 1870, Hugh and Elizabeth Frances were living near Hillsboro, Alabama. By this time Hugh was 55 years and Elizabeth was 45 years. In 1870, the census snapshot shows us this growing family:
Hiram 24, William Yancey 21 (already widowed), James W., Julia C. 14, Abel 10, Susan 6, and Mollie, a granddaughter 4.
By about 1890, Elizabeth Frances Holmes Isbell and her husband were living in Lamar, Alabama in the Crews community with her brother and my gg-Grandfather, Elias S Holmes and his second wife, Josephine Caroline Hawkins. They must have all been Methodists at this time in our family history: for there are church records in Lamar County at the Mt. Hebron Methodist Church with their memberships. Her official record for the church is recorded as Eliz Homes.
By 1889, her husband of many years had died, and in 1893 Frances sold their farmland and seemed to live with her youngest son Abel Isbell in Jefferson County, Alabama. In 1919 Elizabeth Frances Isbell Holmes died and was laid to rest in Mt. Hebron near Crews Depot at the Methodist Church Cemetery.

Former Aucklanders Roy Bowers and Erin O'Callaghan turned their back on the city's property market nine years ago and haven't looked back.
When they returned to New Zealand in the early 2000s after living in New York and London, the couple were shocked at the soaring house prices.
They were unable to find anything they were happy with in their budget that was close enough to the city where they were working.
So they started looking further afield and decided on Taupo.
"We could not get anything half-decent in our budget within a decent commute of the CBD where we both worked," Mr Bowers said.
"The house prices even back then were ridiculous for what you got. We wanted our kids to have a classic Kiwi upbringing where they weren't spending ages in cars going from shopping to sports practice in the car all day.
We wanted to be in a smaller community and near water, which meant beach or lake."
After about two years of renting, the couple found a four-bedroom home on a 1000sq m section for which they paid $400,000 at the end of 2006.
The pair now have three children, Ella, 8, Charlotte, 6, and Zoe, 3.
They say they do not feel isolated in Taupo as the town is central and friends from Auckland often call on their way to Mt Ruapehu or Hawkes Bay or to attend events there.
They are able to work from home with their online marketing business.
Mr Bowers said they also became frustrated at Auckland's poor public transport compared with overseas cities. But he said the family enjoyed visiting Auckland once or twice a year.
"The kids love the crowds and shopping malls, riding escalators, taking the train to Britomart, the different ethnicities and I love the Asian food courts," he said.
"But it's awesome to be able to drive south and then see the mountains and lake rising in front of you as you arrive home to Taupo - and you just feel lucky."
