This is a great value, in my opinion. The tube of texture creme is big enough to last me months, and the shampoo should last a while given a clarifying shampoo is not needed everyday.
The shampoo does a nice job stripping my hair of all the product build up that other shampoos do not always get. The texture creme is great for light hold of my longer hair.

One thing is certain: You don't want Charles Miller's hands on your Mac.
For those of us who believe our Macs are safe from hackers, Miller, a Principal Analyst at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE) and world-renowned hacker, says think again.
Miller, an avid Mac user himself, has made a career out of exposing security bugs in computer operating systems and software, including those produced by Apple.
For example, at a security conference this March, Miller won a $10,000 prize for exposing vulnerabilities in Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Safari, among other software. According to Forbes.com, over the last four years, Miller has become one of the world's most famed Mac hackers.
So, why do an interview with a Mac hacker? Aren't hackers the enemies?
On the contrary: Miller has information Apple users need. As an analyst for ISE, Miller has gained extensive knowledge about security flaws in Macs and other computers, and his opinions are not swayed by loyalty to a particular company. In fact, ISE is an independent security consulting firm whose mission is to provide clients with unbiased information and solutions for improving the security of their products.
Lucky for us, Miller says Mac users need not panic about security threats, though they do exist. He was also willing to share some more of his insider hacker knowledge with us. In an interview with Markin Abras, founder and publisher of MacDirectory, Miller discusses issues related to the security of Macs as well as current trends in the security development industry.
Markin Abras > It is said that "Apple products" are safer than Windows-based products. Is this really true or are hackers too busy hacking PC-based devices?
Charles Miller > Both of your statements are true. They are safer exactly for the reason that not many criminals are looking at them. Most malware is written with the purpose of compromising as many hosts as possible, and that means Windows. There is nothing inherently more secure about Macs, in fact they're probably a little easier to break into, but really they are protected for the moment by their limited market share.
MA > You have successfully exploited Apple products. What makes you the leading and fastest Apple hacker today?
CM > Besides the fact I like and use Apple products, I think a lot of it is I was first to the party. There weren't many researchers interested in Macs when I started looking at them so I got to find all the low hanging fruit. Apple products are way more secure now than three years ago.

text: Can you guys help me with the id on this bike. It has no markings or decals on it, the only number is on the rear drop out and is about 6-8 digits and is very hard to read(that is why I don't have it right now, Will get tomorrow or the next day when I have light). The peddles are old school, but they could have been added later on. From what I can tell that is the original paint, has a few scratched and I don't see any other color underneath. It currently has 26" rims so I am not sure if thoses are original since the really old girls bikes came with 24"s. All the Chrome except maybe the handle bars will clean up, just have not done that yet. I am looking to sell so if you want to include a good asking price feel free. I going to place on local CL for a couple of weeks, then will offer it up to the RRB brotheren. The lens is yellowed and slightly cracked, but in one piece. The light does work.

Dear Colleagues: March 30, 2012 We are now inviting you to join us in the second year of the theme, running through the 2012-2013 academic year. The second year will continue to focus on Technologies Without Borders: Technologies Across Borders. Just as technology changes by the minute, so do the global challenges we face, and the second year will allow units the opportunity to explore new issues as well as focus on the new sub-theme of Citizenship and Social Responsibility.
Today's challenges are truly global in nature, both in the breadth of issues that confront us and in a geographic and social sense; thus solutions also require global approaches. These can no longer be developed within the borders of a single country or within a single academic or professional discipline; they require the cooperative efforts of writers, artists, social scientists, engineers, scientists, physicians, lawyers, politicians, activists, across regions and continents. As technology becomes more and more integral to human life, societies are forced to adapt to new technological advancements.
The biennial theme, Technologies Without Borders: Technologies Across Borders, aims to engage with these and other questions and dilemmas. Events may explore, but are not limited to:
· The role of technology in combating global social inequalities and health challenges such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, violence against women, and in the development of sustainable solutions
· The implications or consequences of a lack of diversity among leaders in technological industries and innovation on gender, racial, and ethnic justice
· How new technologies including facial recognition software, global positioning applications, and tracking programs redefine the notion of privacy
· The relationship between technology and security in the age of cyber-attacks and unmanned drones
· How new technologies affect local community development from access to clean water, medical care, and education, to community engagement and political involvement
· New centers of economic influence based on the influx of technological industries
· The impact of new technologies on changing roles of workers and professionals, as well as new opportunities for entrepreneurship
· The implications of new energy sources on local ecosystems, and which new technologies offer the best solutions for growing energy demands
· The commercialization of technologies and its impact on learning, teaching, and the search for new discoveries
· The implications of new technology on scientific discovery and scholarship production
The theme Technologies Without Borders: Technologies Across Borders will seek to explore how new technologies push the boundaries of scientific discovery, what is considered an opportunity or advancement, but also is acceptable and permissible.
While Technologies Without Borders: Technologies Across Borders will still serve as an umbrella theme for the 2012-2013 academic year, units are also encouraged to submit events related to a new sub-theme: Citizenship and Social Responsibility.
With the rapid advancement of technologies across the world, multiple aspects of our lives are being impacted in various ways. The 2012-2013 academic year sub-theme of Citizenship and Social Responsibility will examine how technology has the potential to affect, either positively or negatively, one's role as a socially responsible citizen. In an increasingly global world, individuals can now readily identify not only with their status as citizens of a particular group, community, town, or state, but also of a particular nation, region, continent, or world. While advancements in social media, for example, have potentially allowed a greater number of people to become interested and perhaps actively involved in civic activities across the globe than ever before, there remains a large number of people who are excluded and without access to the same information. Although the definition of citizenship is multi-layered and complex, incorporating social, political, economic and cultural dimensions, there is no question that technology has allowed some people to become more informed and engaged citizens, while others have remained marginalized.
Advances in technology have affected not only our ability to be socially responsible but also our definitions of what it means to be an active and socially responsible citizen. While ethical and moral in nature, how we define social responsibility is becoming an increasingly complicated task and its intersection with technology creates new and challenging contexts.
Possible events within this sub-theme as they relate to the broader theme of Technologies could explore:
· The role of technology in enhancing active citizenship as well as the responsibilities of digital citizenship
· The relationship between technological advances and our ability or desire to act as, or identify ourselves as, global citizens
· The role of the internet in democracy, political organizing, and political discourse, as well as how limits placed on its access can impact individual rights (to free speech, to free information, etc.)
· Ways in which technological advances truly build better societies and/or ways in which they also produce new fears, challenges, social inequalities and injustice
· The consequences of increased access to technology on personal privacy and safety
· The implications for the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples with respect to advanced technologies and natural resources
· New forms of student activism and civic engagement using social media and other technologies
· The implications for institutions of higher education with respect to technology and student security
· New ways in which green technologies have positively or negatively impacted our sense of social responsibility to our communities and environments
· The implications of new technologies on corporate social responsibility and their potential to advance innovative and groundbreaking ways of operating
· The role of technology in advancing the work of social entrepreneurs who advocate for marginalized or underprivileged segments of a society
· The consequences of limited access to technology on individual and/or collective knowledge, choice, and opportunity
Several campus-wide events are being planned as anchors of Technologies Without Borders: Technologies Across Borders and the Citizenship and Social Responsibility sub-theme. We would also like to highlight the broad range of departments, schools, units, and student organizations who are offering their own courses, programs, projects, and activities that are internationally focused and related to the theme. The idea is not to replace, but rather to connect and enhance diverse programs that are being planned across the campus to meet the needs of different audiences, and to give visibility to the creativity of the Rutgers community.
In the past, special meetings with speakers in more informal settings or the incorporation of readings, films, performances, discussions, and lectures into the course schedule have attracted the most interest on the part of students. Similarly, we welcome graduate-student initiatives in the form of workshops, seminars and formal and informal discussions with scholars or lecture series. Events which highlight creative uses of technology are also encouraged, such as Skype lectures, video-conferencing, or webinars. We welcome any and all internationally-focused and theme-related events that bring together diverse groups of students, faculty, staff, alumni and the general community.
If you have any questions, please contact Kim Pernice, Program Coordinator, firstname.lastname@example.com or Stephanie Perez, Program Coordinator, email@example.com.

Last week's horrific assault on Malala Yousafzai, a teenage heroine who stood up to the Taliban in Pakistan, hit us with a powerful déjà vu of Iqbal Masih, the boy from Pakistan who first inspired our awakening to social justice issues. If Malala's story has you seething, don't just shake an angry fist in the air. We may not be in a position to put our lives on the line like Iqbal or Malala, but that doesn't mean we're helpless.

Children are 100 times more expensive to raise to adulthood than a dairy heifer.
by Patti Hurtgen, Online Media Manager, Hoard's Dairyman
The cost of raising children increased again last year. That is no surprise with the cost of food and gasoline rising for everyone.
According to Expenditures on Children by Families, a child born in 2011 to a middle-income home, will cost $234,900 to raise through the age of seventeen. ($80,000 per year is deemed "middle" income). This figure takes into account housing, food, transportation, clothing, health care, child care and miscellaneous expenses. Lower income families will spend $169,080 and higher-income earners can expect to shovel out $389,670 over seventeen years per child. Since 2000, there has been a $60,000 increase per child.
Housing is the greatest expense, and has been for the 50 years that USDA has been reporting the information. The only good news, is that more children lower the cost per child as they can share bedrooms, wear handed-down clothing and less expensive food can be purchased in bulk. A calculator for cost of raising children is available with variables for salary, children and single-parent homes. Visit the USDA website to enter your information and calculate your estimated costs.
The most expensive locations are the urban Northeast, urban West and urban Midwest. Rural areas have the lowest child-rearing expenses. Farmers are well-versed in budgets and cost-analysis, so I suspect that the cost to raise a farm kid would be less than one raised in town. The study did not break down costs by occupation, just urban and rural. Besides, there can be a lot more distraction available (shopping malls, movie theatres, sporting events) closer to metropolitan areas, which is sure to factor into some impulse buying.
So, if a typical family has two children, they are looking at a half-million dollars to bring them into adulthood. This figure does not include any college education. In a recent survey showing costs of college, a "moderate" college budget for an in-state, public college for the last academic year averaged $21,447. A moderate budget at a private college averaged $42,224. Information provided by COLLEGEdata.
The cost of raising a family really cannot be put strictly into dollars and cents on a balance sheet. At moments, when budgets are tight, you might think about the half million dollars that could have been used in the business. But quickly turn to the faces of your children and you would do it all over again.
Most young people on farms grew up having chores, some were paid and others were not. So, while children may appear to be an expense, they certainly can be an asset as well. Maybe a study should be done to see the value of farm work completed by a young person until the age of seventeen. Their basic hours of labor, their knowledge to train others and their overall intellectual contributions all add value to the operation. The goal of many parents is to have their children return to the operation and that is "priceless".
Everything has a price, but only the truly special are valued.

Catherine Clabby
Not long ago, it was difficult to produce photographs of tiny creatures with every part in focus. That's because the lenses that are excellent at magnifying tiny subjects produce a narrow depth of field. A photo processing technique called focus stacking has changed that. Developed as a tool to electronically combine the sharpest bits of multiple digital images, focus stacking is a boon to biologists seeking full focus on a micron scale. Cynthia Tedore, who recently finished her Ph.D. in biology at Duke University, is interested in the ways tiny animals filter complex sensory stimuli to make decisions important for their survival and reproduction. Focus stacking images made with a microscope camera lets her observe and measure color with new precision, she told American Scientist contributing editor Catherine Clabby.
For a slideshow of all the images from this article, click here.
Why is the effect of color as a signaling device among arthropods of interest?
Numerous scientists have explored the influence of color patch presence, size, brightness, and the patterning of its light and dark elements on another arthropod's behavior. However, little is known about the relation between natural variation in the dominant wavelengths and spectral purity of an animal's color patch and the behavior of another. There is evidence that color is important. A recent study of blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, by Jamie Baldwin and Sönke Johnsen of Duke University, showed that males use both color and brightness of female claws to discriminate between potential mates and snappy immature females.
You used focus stacking image processing to observe the effects of color patches on a small jumping spider. Why didn't other techniques work?
I couldn't obtain repeatable measurements of tiny patches of color on the same individual using a handheld spectrometer, even when I worked under a microscope with the measurement probe and light source clamped into place.
When measuring color patches as small as 150 microns across, it's hard to be sure your specimen is positioned such that the measurement probe is pointing at the precise spot you're trying to measure. It's also difficult to ensure no glare distorts the measurement. Slight changes in the position of the spider relative to the measurement probe can produce divergent measurements of the same individual.
What did you set out to capture regarding color variation in the spider?
The average value of an entire color patch, rather than the value of a small spot within a color patch, is more representative of what tiny animals, with relatively coarse visual acuities, perceive. In male Lyssomanes viridis, this distinction is important because the pigmentation of the cuticle on the mouthparts bearing the fangs, called chelicerae, is not entirely uniform. The patch of colored forehead hairs can be sparsely or densely distributed, with or without the underlying cuticle showing through. Variation among individual hairs ranges from yellow to orange to red. Microscope photography made it easier to calculate the average values of entire color patches because I could choose the exact set of pixels I wanted to measure from each photograph.
By placing a grayscale calibration strip under the microscope next to the spider to generate a calibration curve unique to each photograph, I was able to convert the camera's charge-coupled device's values to brightness values in the camera's red, green and blue channels. I calculated the average brightness of the entire male forehead spot and the proximal half of the chelicerae in each of the red, green and blue channels, as well as overall brightness across channels. I also calculated the difference in average brightness between channels, normalized by overall brightness, as a proxy for color. This method gave me highly repeatable measurements of brightness and color across duplicated measurements of the same individual.
Once you had the measurements, what did they tell you?
In contests over females, males with less red (and more brown) chelicerae had an advantage, but only when the male with browner chelicerae was smaller than his opponent. This result was the opposite of what we expected, given that red looks more colorful and showy to people than brown does. However, jumping spiders do not see as far into the red portion of the spectrum as humans do. A complete lack of sensitivity in the red portion of the spectrum would mean that red chelicerae would be perceived as black (since they are not reflecting light that the spider can perceive). Brown chelicerae are more highly reflective in the green portion of the spectrum, a region that jumping spiders are highly sensitive to. Thus, to a jumping spider, brown chelicerae may appear more brightly colored than red. This finding challenges a lot of our assumptions about the selective pressures driving red coloration in animals with spectral sensitivities different from our own.

The oil-rich Middle East is one of the world's top markets for exotic cars, but soon buyers won't have to see their oil earnings slipping offshore.
Unveiled at the recent Qatar Motor Show was a pair of home-grown supercars, the W Motors Hypersport and Supersport.
The Hypersport has a twin-turbo flat-six generating about 560kW and 1000Nm of torque. The mid-mounted engine propels the car to a top speed of nearly 400km/h.
The builder has taken more than 100 orders for the two-seater that will initially be assembled in Italy beforegoing to a Mideast factory.
Pricing: Not much more than petty cash, really; about $4 million for a Hypersport.
`I'll park where I like'
The driver of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class moved some barriers to park in one of the empty spots at the parking lot for Edinburgh's Waverley railway station.
Part of the lot had been closed for resurfacing.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the crew simply tore up the asphalt, leaving just the one parking spot intact. They thoughtfully built a little ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal.
Spare part treasures
New Lynn Lions have been holding their classic and vintage car show including a swap
meet for 15 years, raising money for a different charity each year. This year, the Lions (and old cars and old car parts) are at Western Springs Stadium from 10am tomorrow with all profit going to Kids with Arthritis.
''It is a great show and a day out for all the family. There will be over 800 great show cars from just out of the shed to totally restored,'' says Noel Mountjoy, of Lions New Lynn. ''It's also a great swap-meet for enthusiasts to find those difficult parts.''
Tickets for kids will be $5, adults $12 and the Lions will be adding to the $160,000 they've already raised over the years.
It's not just about the truck
American pickup truck maker Ram evidently figures that horny hunters comprise a key buyer group.
So its running an Internet video hunting series called Gear Up!, hosted by a variety of attractive women dressed in camouflage.
One episode gives instructions on how to gut a deer. Megan, the episode's perky host, provides detailed tips in a cheerful tone. Sometimes a bit too detailed, like:
''Begin sliding your knife up the deer's belly towards its neck [and] sever the final tubes of the rectum.''
Parking up
Part of the Down Under launch of Nissan's limo-like Patrol SUV was at Canunda National Park on the South Australia coast.
The news here is that while our Department of Conservation goes out of its way to ban 4WD vehicles from most of its considerable park estate, the Aussies welcome them.
The only admonition at Canunda was a sign asking drivers to stay on the tracks.
No problem there.
The park, which is licked by the Southern Ocean, is awash with great tracks and good beach access points.
We are the world
*Some Japanese men have rejected smartphones in favour of a low-tech 2002 Fujitsu cellphone because it can help philanderers keep their affairs confidential. The phone has a buried ''privacy'' mode that gives off only stealth signals when lovers call and leaves no
trace of calls, texts or emails. A senior executive for Fujitsu said, ''If Tiger Woods had this phone, he wouldn't have been in trouble.''
*China's national legislature passed a law to establish that people have a duty to visit their aged parents. Nursing homes and similar facilities have not kept pace with the country's rapid urbanisation and sponsors of the law said it would give parents a legal right to sue their children for ignoring them.
*A pastor was forced to admit to his flock at the New Heart church in rural Texas that he was a convicted sex offender and that he and his ex-wife had worked in the pornography
industry. ''If we believe in the redemptive work of Christ, then this man is a miracle,'' said one parishioner.
*Tokyo's Kenichi Ito beat his own Guinness World Record of 17.47s by a full second for the 100m dash on all fours. Ito runs like a Patas monkey, which he has long admired, and which inspired him to take up four-legged running.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to do this a lot i think. Thanks so much.
I thank you very much for the great tute. I was studying your original photo really closely to try to figure out exactly how you did it. I did pretty good in my head and you clarified the rest. Thanks for your generosity.
By the way!!! Can you tell us more about using crayons for coloring a block??? Do they hold up well with washing??
Thanx for any input.
Keep smiling, it makes others wonder what you're up to!
Great tute and can't wait to try it.

I cant wait to try this.
I never met a quilt I didnt love.
Thanks for the easy-to-understand instructions. And that binding technique really added to the beauty of your quilt.

Just collected my first honey. I am eager to try collecting pollen and propolis. 2 hives are in their first year.
But curious what effect this has on diverting energy in the hive? Would it slow honey and/or brood production? Are there any disadvantages to collecting these?
This is in reference to using an actual propolis trap (in place of inner cover) and a pollen drawer (closing 3 days per week, as suggested).
I have heard the best time for propolis is fall... what about the pollen - I suppose during the runs in spring and fall?


text: Thinking of starting my hobby in beekeeping next spring. Have read The Beekeeper's Handbook, The Complete Guide to Beekeeping, and First Lessons in Beekeeping by Dadant. I plan on making my own hives from plans on BeeSource, but have a question - How much room does a hive need (away from pets, people areas/traffic), 10, 20, 30 ft? Thanks for any help.

Play our fun game and find out if the one you like likes you back. Confide in us if you think you'd hit it off by clicking: Yes, No, or Maybe. We'll anonymously find out and let you know if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said YES! If the feeling is mutual, we'll let you both know.
You've already said No. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'm going to try a different approach here. Rather than listing a bunch of generalities about who I am, I'm just going to list a few random things and see how it goes (this might be a disaster, so bear with me).
I'm 5'" with curly brown hair that becomes unruly in a heartbeat. I mostly wear jeans and sneakers. If I'm wearing a dress and heels it means I really like you. And that you care about that stuff. And that we're taking a cab everywhere.
I use expensive, complicated machines for my job, but I have no idea how to use my iPhone. It took me 30 days to discover the lock button and I still call people by accident (like 6 times) when I'm trying to save their contact info. Sometimes I miss having a phone that's just a phone.
I'm direct and I like people who are also direct and don't play games or try to manipulate others. I don't believe in being phony or trying to play a part to impress people.
Being kind to people makes me happy, so I try to do it as often as possible. This is harder when I'm grumpy, obviously, but I still try. I also try to remember to tell and show people who matter to me that they are important. I hope that I am correct in thinking that I am a thoughtful and trustworthy friend.
I love New York. I love the people and the energy and the vibe and that there's so much to do. If I've had a bad day or I just need to think sometimes just walking around the city listening to music is enough to reenergize me. NYC has even helped me learn to accept things I can't change and be a little more patient. If the train is stuck, it's stuck and all you can do is hope you have enough pages left in your book....
I believe in embracing change. It's not necessarily scary, it's just different. And different can be good too, even if it's not what you had planned.
I sometimes squeak in my sleep. I have noooooo idea why.
So in summary, these are some things that I love: NYC, books, music, wandering, cats, coffee (especially on chilly mornings), unpretentious people, friends, family, kindness. There are surely things missing from that list, but I think it covers most of what I care about.
I am looking for someone educated, intelligent and kind who lives near NYC and doesn't smoke. Grammar is not the most important thing, but text speak is annoying and I don't understand a lot of it, so please use actual words and perhaps even sentences if you send me an email. Substance would be nice too.

Town Square
Cleaning up Town Square
Original post made by Emily West, editor of Danville Express, on Oct 11, 2010
Commenting on news stories and taking part in forums has become the norm for news stories. Yet, those in the newsroom are still trying to figure out how best to manage these online discussions. After all, moderating anonymous posts wasn't part of our journalism school curriculum. When walking around town, I hear both positive and negative feedback from readers about our forum. Everyone seems to enjoy the ability to comment and be part of the news process. Yet, there is some frustration with the mean-spirited and sometimes just plain stupid comments that go on. We hear you.
It's about time that we revisit Town Square to see what's working and what isn't. Moving forward, it is our goal to focus on thoughtful discussion as a part of a valuable online community. Debate is welcome, but not bullying, personal attacks or telling someone to "get a life." We also want to discourage postings that do nothing more than link to stories or blogs; we're looking for discussions, not kindling. Our terms of use have not changed, but we are trying to be more diligent in controlling the quality of postings featured on our sites.
As we work toward making Town Square a place of respectful discussion, we are also looking to you, our readers, to help. We are grateful to those who click "report objectionable content" links when a post or comment has gotten out of hand. By clicking these links, it alerts the editors to the objectionable items and we deal with them as soon as possible.
Our goal isn't to stifle debate and discussion, just to achieve a level of decorum.

Dear Emily, Gina and Dolores,
Thank you and best wishes in your efforts to move this discussion forum toward respectful consideration of issues and interests of your readers. I will encourage you to be engaged in the discussions going forward bringing updates, further definition and journalism to the discussions. I will encourage the pseudonyms that willingly defame and disrespect others to focus on content in their perspectives on issues.
It is a challenging task that should be part of overall achievement of what The Danville Weekly is in definition: a well-presented, fair and balanced review of local events and issues focused on the needs and interests of intelligent, experienced readers. I applaud your interest in once again achieving that goal.
Best wishes,

Something hits me the wrong way on this one.
When I think of the "Town Square Forum" I think of a platform downtown where citzens can step up and speak to issues of the day.
I really don't envision that the person must identify oneself or be subject to scrutiny & removal by the local 'newspaper journalist'.
Moreover, I find it highly suspicious that the journalist would accede to an anonymous 3rd party's request to remove me from that platform without reason, explanation or appeal.
I vote NO on the CENSOR POLICE.

Thank you Emily!!
All websites have a right and even a responsibility to be sure that their websites are used for positive discussion, not spreading of hate, bullying, or mean-spirited debate.
I applaud your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I truly hope you can turn it back into a town forum instead of the negative soap box it has become.

Hi Emily, Gina, Dolores, Jeb... staff and its leaders :)
You know me from posting on your Pleasanton Weekly sister paper. I've posted articles or news I've felt worthy of mentioning as part of the community. Some fun, some informational and some thoughtful, I thought. There were those who outright attacked me and it continued as in some other articles I've seen posted here, without any back up from the staff. Yes perhaps you see what is going on in the background but if there were more interaction with the Staff, I feel it would be more under control. I'm not perfect and no one is but when there is a feeling of Leadership, things remain in control, otherwise it's war in the papers :) which I prefer to have on the battelfield ~ Thanks for Rethinking how this can be improved.

Hi Karl, I'm not sure if you're referencing someone taking down a post or the possibility that we could. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a specific incident, let me know and perhaps I can provide some sort of explanation. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dear Editor,
This may be ancient history to you or simply a challenge to complete a project well-defined by the previous editor. How will YOU fulfill the challenge of "Please be respectful and truthful in your postings so Town Square will continue to be a thoughtful gathering place for sharing community information and opinion" for the Express Forum?"
Does simply deleting this question make it any less realistic in defining current abuses and attacks?

Az ingatlan értékelései
This truely is a lovely place!
The bed is very good. You have plenty of wardrobe with more than enough cloth hangers. The bathroom is luxurious with its bath tub and more towels than you could possibly need. The roof terrace makes all the difference!
The area of Belem has the famouse monastry, the tower, the museums of MAAT and of coaches, the presidential palace, the portugese school of equestrian art and the excellent cultural centre. These are your neighbours during your stay!!
The location is safe and quiet with enough bakeries, restaurants and a pleasant mini mercado nearby. You can get your public transport card in the payshop around the corner. Trains, trams, buses and ferries are close by.
You can get to the centre in 15 minutes.
Your hosts are very welcoming and knowledgeable about what to see and how to get there and more! If you require privacy, it's there for you as well.
In all a nice experience. The place is as advertised. Cosy and sunny and very well equiped with everything you could need and more. You only need to pack the essentials. Good for traveling light.
Lisbon simply is a must see, if you haven't been yet and will welcome you on your following visits.
Fransisco and his mom are great hosts. They truely make you feel welcome and they can tell you where to go and how to get there. The room was lovely, it was clean, comfortable and the view from the terrace is amazing. The location allows you to experience the real Lisbon, but it's also close to some of the main tourist attractions. Would definetely stay again!
This is a wonderful, warmly place to stay. The room is homely decorated with a beautiful view from the roof top. The suburb is well connected by bus and train until late in the night. Francisco is very generous host and being very helpful in providing tips and advices for sightseeing and trips into the surroundings. We even got a great birthday surprise with cake and going out for dinner in a special African restaurant. If we come back to Lisboa we would stay here again for sure. I can highly recommend this place to couples or good friends.
This is a beautiful room with a fantastic rooftop-terrace. The view over the river Tejo and the nearby Bridge is amazing. The flat is well located and bus/tram/train/ship are just a short foodwalk away.
Francisco and Isabell were very good hosts and also introduced me to some delicious portuguese dishes! This is a very good place to stay in Lisbon!
Francisco and his mother gave us a very warm wellcome - we felt at home right away! The room with the marvellous view was clean and has a very good bed.
We enjoyed our stay a lot , unfortunately we could not stay longer.
We liked the quiet situation ,Lisbon live, without tourists.
We wish Francisco all the best and many guests to come!
Horst and Susana
Nicy&cosy room with a marvellous view !! (on the 'burning' bridge, statue of Christ and monument of discoversies) It surely furfilled what we hoped for!
Good acces to the neigborhood of Belem with parking round the corner...
don't forget to visit the Royal Palace (5' uphill)
Fransisco and his mother we're very helpfull and friendly (good tips!)
The pastry for 'breakfast' was "hmm hmm" ...those Portuguese really know how to bake good cookies and cakes...
We hope to be able to try the terrace in full summer period
We had a good time in the sunny room!
The whole atmosphere in the house was as sunny as the whether and the terrace . Accommodation was comfortable and clean with little friendly accents.
We enjoyed the good balance between privacy and possibility to enjoy the contact with Francisco and his mother Isabel.
If you like to be in an authentic neighborhood, and if you don,t mind to travel a little bit by bus or tram to the center of Lisbon, we really recommend this place to stay.
Whe fellt in Francisco House very warm welcome and Humblenesse. Francsisco explains us many thing about Lisboa and the area.The view from the Terasse is beautiful and quiet.Whe enyou auer Time and whe will comback.
Melhores cumprimentos para sua mãe
Maggie e Benno
This room is cosy and nice, located in the Belem area, very close to the centre but away enough, so you can live a litlle bit out of the "official" turist circuit. Francisco and family are very nice people, they helped us with the maps and gave us some advices. Only problem was there is no door between the bathroom and the bedroom, so it's a litlle bit strange! ... Nice place to stay in Lisbon anyway! Thanx
We had a 6 nights stay in this room. All in all, it was a good trip.
Francisco was a very nice and very obliging host. They even invited us to a delicious, self-cooked dinner. Our room (bedroom, private bathroom and terrace) was clean and looked like the uploaded pictures. You can enjoy a beautiful view from the terrace (to Ponte 25 de abril and cristo rei). Belem (district) is also really nice and you can visit a lot of things by foot.You have to notice that at the moment, there are a few road works, even in next surrounding of the flat. Moreover, it's a 15 minutes drive with the bus to the centre of the city. Apart from that, it's very good connected to the costa de Lisboa (Cascais, Sintra, Mafra,...)
There are living two cats in the flat. If you have a cat- allergy, this room won't be the best choice (cathair, also in kitchen). Besides, the house is very old, so you have to live with the inconvieniences old buildings bring about.
We wish you a nice stay in Lisboa!!

Open source security projects to participate in?
I've wanted to help out a security project in some way, but lack of programming skills has kept me from doing much. Now that I'm getting somewhere with my programming, I'm looking to help again. I've read that most people start out helping with documentation and I'm totally cool with that.
If anybody has any open source security projects/tools that they know is looking for help (Python-based), please let me know
I read a blog post somewhere with a short list of projects that were looking for help, but I can't seem to remember where I read that and didn't bookmark it

Jamaica: Geography
Location: Almost at the center of the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica lies 150 kilometers (90 miles) south of Cuba and 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Haiti, the two nearest countries. The closest point to Jamaica in South America is Cartagena in Colombia, a distance of 710 kilometers (445 miles) almost due south. The latitude and longitude of the capital, Kingston, are about 18 degrees N and 78 degrees W.
Area: Jamaica is the largest of the English Speaking West Indian islands. It has an area of 11,424 square kilometers (4,411 square miles), more than twice the area of Trinidad, which is next in size, and measures 243 kilometers (146 miles) from east to west. Its greatest width is 80 kilometers (51 miles), from St. Ann 's Bay to Portland Point. The distance from Kingston to the nearest point on the north coast, Annotto Bay, is 36 kilometers (22 miles).
Area-comparative: Jamaica is smaller than all U.S. states, including the smallest, Rhode Island.
Climate: Jamaica has a maritime tropical climate, with average daily temperature varying according to elevation from a high of 86 °F at sea level to a low of 63 °F in the mountains. The average annual rainfall ranges from 300 inches on the eastern slopes of the Blue Mountains to 230 inches in some parts of the south coast. During the cooler months, December to March, the island sometimes experiences northerners: chill winds and high seas associated with a cold front to the North. July to September are the warmest months, May and October are traditionally the rainy months.
Terrain: Jamaica has considerable variation in landscape from the coral sands and ironshore cliffs of the shoreline, through coastal wetlands, plains and highlands to the misty peaks of the Blue Mountains. The highest point on the island is Blue Mountain peak, at 7,402ft.
Natural Resources: Mineral deposits in Jamaica include gypsum, lead, and salt. The bauxite deposits, in the central section of the island, are among the richest in the world. Rich soils are found on the coastal plains. Natural Hazards: Jamaica is vulnerable to hurricanes July-October. Due to poor infrastructure and planning, heavy rains often devastate poorly built roads, homes, etc.
Flora and Fauna: Jamaica has a high degree of biodiversity. Three thousand species of plants grow on the island, and 27 percent of them are found nowhere else on Earth. More than 200 species of flowering plants have been classified. Among indigenous trees are cedar, mahoe, mahogany, logwood, rosewood, ebony, palmetto palm, coconut palm, and pimento (allspice). Introduced varieties, such as the mango, breadfruit, banana, and plantain, also flourish on the island and are widely cultivated. The Jamaican animal life, as that of the West Indies generally, includes highly diversified bird life. Parrots, hummingbirds, cuckoos, and green toadies are especially abundant. No large indigenous quadrupeds or venomous reptiles exist.
Environmental Issues: Jamaica theoretically has a protected area system composed of forest reserves, nature protection areas, and parks. However, until recently the system was not centrally managed and suffered from inadequate budget, staff, management, and enforcement. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the country worked with nongovernmental and foreign aid organizations to consolidate potential protected areas into functional national parks with efficient administration.
The absence of a clear environmental policy combined with a steadily growing population and the largely irresponsible growth of the conventional tourism sector has brought about an inevitable ecological deterioration of the island. Soil degradation and water shortages are common. Coastal waters are polluted by industrial and hotel waste, sewage, and oil spills. Automobile traffic in Kingston causes significant air pollution. Safe drinking water is generally available, although access to sanitation is still low. Jamaica's biodiversity has suffered with environmental deterioration. Natural habitats are threatened by rapid deforestation. Government policy encourages conversion of "idle " land into fields and pasture. Once completely forested, about 30 percent of Jamaica 's surface was forested in 2000.
The deforestation rate at 1.5 percent per year during 1990-2000 was high, pushing the few remaining stands of trees into small mountain enclaves. Despite a thriving tourist industry and potential for ecotourism, visits to scenic protected sites such as forest recreation areas were rare through the early 1990s. Jamaica is party to several regional agreements on conservation of marine resources and combating oil pollution in the Caribbean Sea. It ratified the World Heritage Convention in 1983.

Love, Regret, and Pizza
I really love this post and I really admire the strength that you have to post it unedited. We all have days where we just would like 5 minutes to detach and we lose our cool with our kids. So many people pressure us into feeling if parenting isn't always rainbows and puppies then something is wrong and it drives me crazy. I love when I can talk/read/listen to other parents who are truthful about parenting- it's hard and sometimes sucks. And even though the previous sentence is oh so true, I wouldn't give it up for anything!ReplyDelete
It's a very honest post and I think you were brave in writing it. Unschooling is a tough concept for many people who don't understand the concept. I'm fortunate enough to know Sandra Dodd who has been an unschooler for many years and tlks on it so I mostly understand. I also have one of my awesome friends who homeschooled her son and he's the neatest kind in the whole world. (not counting Finnegan but I don't know him yet.)
Hugs to you both!
Thanks, Wizzie. I like truthful too, even though is soooo ugly sometimes. Sniff.
Nancy - You DO? Have we talked about this before? That you know SD? AND...HOW did I not know you have an etsy store? Huh? HOW? I am SO buying that crescent moon necklace when we get paid and I am going to do a post on it. I loved SO many things on it!! AND I LOVE your art...the eyes and spectacles on the newsprint! Ta die for. Going to look around more.
I appreciate this so much. I'll be a mom soon and yes, I tend to be one of those people with expectations. Even though if the past year has shown me anything it is life is full of surprises. I am glad I went with the flow. So up on my mental lists is flexibility and no expectations, then pick your battles. I can remember my mother being not quite mom once. Then I remember thinking then, she is just a girl.ReplyDelete
Tera - You know, that is such a beautiful thing that you thought about your mom. I've never had a day this bad since, so maybe there was some merit in it. UGH. I also have a big sign in my bedroom closet that says NO EXPECTATIONS. I see it first thing every morning. LOVE my/your composter!! Thank you again. xoxoxReplyDelete
Loved it Michele. In my younger years, I was always judging people. They weren't 'this' or they weren't 'that'....and all that was based on my expectations of people. People I didn't even know; a store clerk, a waiter, the driver next to me. Of course, no one ever lived up to my expectation, and I was always disappointed to some degree. That disappointment left me unhappy, unsatisfied, unfulfilled, etc. Then in college I read a quote by Shakespeare: "Other people are not in this world to live up to your expectations." I really try to live by that everyday. No expectations means I can now appreciate things and people and places and animals and "life" for what it is, not what I want it to be. ;-)ReplyDelete
I know you will tire of hearing this from all who love you, but we have all had days like that. I never knew I had a temper until I married! Sometimes I blow it. I hear the furious in my soul. I don't always feel better after, but it helps keep me cool when I feel myself getting hotter and hotter. Those "mad" surprises are very, very upsetting but think we grow a little bit each time we lose it.
ms mdd
Many, many years ago, our family went to family therapy. There are 3 things the psychologist said that I remember to this day that helped me through the hard times, the times I lived in 'expectation'. Here's what she said:
1. Kids are tough. They can take a lot as long as they hear from the parent - the sooner the better - "I was wrong. I made a mistake. I am sorry. I love you."
2. When you start to feel you are losing it, pretend your kid is someone else's kid. You would never use hurtful language to the child of someone else. This is a trick that gives you distance 'til you can regain control of yourself.
3. Remember that your child does not belong to you; she belongs to herself. She is her own person and you're job is to teach her everything you know and then get out of her way.
Those 3 things must have helped me a lot since I still remember them almost 40 years later.
You did the most important thing of all (#1). You're a great human mom! Please remember that.
I really cannot think of any meaningful growth that didn't have some OW in it. And I think your boy is a poet in training. Thank you for sharing this. We moms need to tell it like it really is, so that we'll understand those days when we come undone, and know it is not that we are monsters, but just that everyone comes undone at times. And that we can get redone. And that love will mend the tears.ReplyDelete
Beautifully honest and oh God have we all been there! Try being with 22 kids all day then having one who wants your undivided attention. I choose to live in the moment only and that helps. I wish we sometimes had a rewind button. That's what sunrises are for...xoxoReplyDelete
Y'all are just so wonderful and kind with all your supportive and loving words. Comforting to know we've all be there.
Thanks, from the bottom of my mama heart.
Mother guilt is so heart-wrenching. Guilt for not being the best mom we can be sometimes. I've had nights where I lie awake and relive a bad moment and am absolutely tortured with guilt. I've talked to several other moms about this, and we've all felt it. Dads don't seem to, perhaps because many of them aren't always as day-to-day invested in child-rearing. The flip side of the guilt is an intense, all-powerful love, so it's a good trade-off, don't you think? Thanks for being so honest in sharing your story. Your idea to live without expectations is a good one.ReplyDelete
Oh haven't we all had days that started out like this one! Yours ended a lot better than mine usually do (crying in the shower, lol) and it sounds like it turned into a completely amazing opportunity to learn about how Finn feels when he's away from you, which is so priceless. The universe gives us these tough days for a reason (chocolate binges, in my case).
My own mom used to say some pretty crazy crap to me when I made her made with my clingingness and I used to feel so super mad at her for birdening me with all that but now I just feel bad that we couldn't have just had an open dialogue like you all. We didn't mean to hurt each other, but we also didn't know how to express our love.
You're a great mama, Finn is lucky!
Wow. And thanks.
I lost my shit yesterday around my daughter and mother for having expectations that weren't met for the day.
I behaved terribly and am learning that other mothers do the same sometimes.
I think because we understand we don't want to be like that, it makes it easier to change for the better.
Words tend to cheapen such moments, but your post is right on.
You're a bad-ass mom. I am, too.
I'm so glad you didn't edit this post. I needed to hear that other moms have days like this too. I'm a single mom a lot of the time due to long stretches of work related travel for the mister, and I admit that at times stress gets the best of me. A few months ago I had a day like this that I still have regrets about and that serves as a reminder to me any time my temper threatens to boil over at my sweet little daughter. Thanks for your honesty.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you guys can take some comfort from knowing that all of us have had these days. I have to say that just posting this brought up those awful feelings again and that happened three years ago! I think that must prove, in some way, that we are good mamas or else it wouldn't bother us so, you know? As they say, "You can only do better when you know better."
Give all your babes an extra hug and a kiss from me.
Thanks for participating in the Unschooling Blog Carnival, Michele! You're right that looking at situations with honesty is the only way to make adjustments and do better.ReplyDelete
Powerful writing with such honesty. I'm glad the Unschooling Carnival has introduced me to your blog. I shall check in again.ReplyDelete


text: We could go on and on about the difference between judging systems and schools. I think I already said half of what you said. However, I still don't think a 17 and 21 year old G&G would have had any business doing similar choreography as a 25 and 28 year old V&V, or a 21 and 24 year old V&V for that matter, because the maturity was not there, despite having more reliable and finished technique.

Anyone taken GREM (the cert)?
I have been doing malware RE for a few years now and I think I'm pretty knowledgeable. I've got more than a passing familiarity with IDA Pro and Olly which seem to be used in the course. I did some web programming a couple of years ago so I know some of the nasty things that can be done there.
I guess my question to anyone who's taken the exam is how difficult was it and what was your experience going in? I'd be challenging the cert, out of pocket, so I don't want to blow it. OTOH, I've spent way too much time studying for some other exams... When I read through the very small objective list here but honestly it seems pretty non-descriptive when compared to some of the other SANS certs.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

What are those posts you're using for the visor called? I recently did one of these and i loved them.
Great work Lorenzo, tell me this the visor is from?, the size in thickness is? (2 millimeters?)..............
This should be a sticky.
Very nice clean work and well documented.
Beautiful as always.
I'm looking at this, and I get the premise, though, the part where you actually attach the female-end of the brad hole nuts, are you recessing them into the fiberglass? Or how are you attaching them?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Also, in one pic you'll see a brass washer between the t-nut and visor. The washer is just there as a spacer to keep the visor from getting too close to any glue that might spread up when tacking down the t-nuts. It's removed later.

Very nice, that is one of the cleanest ways of attaching visors I have seen. I might do this to the helmet that is sitting on my work bench right now.
Is that one mine?
tis a beauty!
How much to get you to build mine for me? I think Im missing a part or two?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cruzer, nah. I was stupid and bought this one off of Ebay. So now I got this helmet kit and no idea what to do with it.
What materials do you use to make this?
Here are a few in progress paint pictures. After covering the inside of the visor also with tape, I draw light lines with a sharpened pencil using the contour of the check to guide the pencil to separate the two areas. Then I use 1/8" blue stripers tape to tape off the part that will remain CC and fill it in with blue painters tape.
Then I use the same stripers tape to tape around the rf curve and place small pieces of tan masking tape (stickier) in small sections as I go to hold down the stripers tape.
When that's done I mask off the rest of the areas with the tan tape and newspaper.
When painting, I keep the coat thin and paint the areas that are going to be blue to give me a smooth surface for the lighter blue. I prefer to do the darker blue first so that the lighter blue is raised a bit and because it's easier to tape off the darker blue sections later using the 1/8" stripers tape and following the contours.
Also, a note on the ear pieces. Usually even after sanding, little air bubbles and small dots randomly form where the paint will not stick. So I usually spay a thin coat, and then use my finger to lightly rub those areas filling in the small bubbles with the paint. Then I go back and give the ear pieces a second and thicker coat that will smooth everything out and makes the paint stick in those initial troublesome areas.
After this, I won't touch the helmet for an entire week. This is very hard to do but critical to minimize tape indentions when taping off for the second color. However, I will probably bring it inside the house after it has aired for a few days due to the cold outside temperatures. In the meantime, I prep the rf and paint it as soon as possible. Hope this information can help someone.
Beautiful work.

Go Dog Wild
Learn to commandeer a pack of hard-charging canines at a sledding school in deepest Germany
WE WERE ALL getting along just fine. Gunda (my alpha leader), Xare (her co-pilot), Stangl (an amorous male) and Zenzi (the blonde he kept trying to mount) were as solid as a dog sled team gets. We'd only met three hours earlier, but now we were gliding beautifully over the packed snow atop Bavaria's highest mountain, Grosser Arber. Then, we hit a ditch and I flew off the sled into a snow bank. The dogs kept running. I'd been warned it could happen, but was still stunned.
I didn't know whether to yell to the dogs in German, English or Inuit. That morning, my schlittenhund (dog sled) instructor had taught me the signal for stop, a low, moaning "Ouuuwwwwe." But if falling off my sled felt foolish, bellowing in canine language from a snow bank felt positively ridiculous.
I love dogs, but I travel too much to own one. So the idea of renting a pack to speed through a snowy forest for a weekend sounded dreamy. Germany might not seem the obvious place to learn to dog sled. (The activity is thought to have originated in Siberia and North America thousands of years ago.) But since I live in Zurich, Alaska was out of the question; classes in Norway and Finland were expensive. Bavaria offered the cheapest and easiest-to-reach school in Europe—plus, it promised a rare old-world experience.
The journey there raised some doubts. For 2½ hours, the train from Munich sped past wet, gray fields and mega-factories as it headed for Zwiesel, a tiny town in southeastern Germany. It was March—the beginning of the Iditarod in Alaska, but a dreary, soggy time in Central Europe. Where were the beer gardens, the lederhosen-wearing mushers, the Brothers Grimm-evoking hounds?
But after I switched to a two-car train in the hamlet of Plattling, muddy flatlands gave way to woodsy white hills, factory chimneys to clock towers. Inky Rorschach trees turned into deep green pine boughs. Zwiesel was charming—half-timbered homes and hand-painted signs. The town clings to the Czech border, where sweet-beer drinkers are replaced by pilsner sippers, car makers give way to glass artisans. This was Bohemia. And in true Bohemian spirit, Thomas Gut, the owner of Waldschrat Schlittenhundeschule and Huskyhof Haus (Dog Sled School and Husky Dog House), greeted me at the train station barefoot. He sported a braided leather headband and the curved tooth of a canine around his neck.
Mr. Gut smiled and shook hands with me and another student. Then we piled into his Renault van and drove in the darkness toward the school, an organic farm where he lives with his wife, Anke, five kids, chickens, rabbits, sheep, pigs and 54 dogs.
'If falling off my sled felt foolish, bellowing in canine language from a snow bank felt positively ridiculous. '
Waldschrat could have passed for a set in "The Hobbit." Wood was everywhere—walls, floor, ceiling and furniture. A cast-iron cooking stove purred in the corner. A giant wooden table that doubled as a classroom sat under a wagon-wheel chandelier decorated with feathers and bones. Dogs lounged around.
After a hearty dinner of creamed mushrooms, we had a lesson in zugleinen—the art of tying knots and ganglines. Mr. Gut said the knowledge was essential for steering and controlling the dogs, so it was important to pay close attention. I focused on petting the dogs under the table instead.
As Ms. Gut brought me another bottle of local beer, her husband admonished: "The dogs' safety is more important than having fun. You must take care of the dogs." As if on cue, Johnny, a sleeping Czech mountain dog, started whimpering and clenching his paws, as dreaming dogs often do.
In Bavaria, at least, there is nothing luxurious about dog sledding. That also holds true for accommodations at Waldschrat. There's a private double room, but the shared attic bedroom houses a row of eight twin mattresses lined up seam to seam, which Germans call massenlager—mass camping. My roommate, an I.T. specialist from Berlin who was bitten by the mushing bug in the Yukon, kept saying how "cozy" it was.
Three mattresses apart, we engaged in a little pillow talk. "Why do you love dog sledding so much?" I asked. "Because it lets me get away from my everyday life," he replied. "Sometimes we just need to turn off our phones and connect with nature."
After our breakfast the next morning (strong coffee, bread, butter, meats and preserves) we fed the dogs theirs. We were each given a metal pail and a gigantic ladle for dishing out a hot soup of water, offal and bones.
The Alaskan huskies created a cacophony of yapping. Each dog has its own personality and look: some shy, others assertive; some with brown flecks and amber eyes, others white and gray with ice-blue eyes. Feeding them served as a bonding experience, but was also a chance to prove our dominance. We were instructed to make the dogs wait until their pails were filled, then command them to eat. This was good practice for playing alpha sled dog, and required a lot of aggressive shouting. Our interactions also gave Mr. Gut a chance to pair students with animals, assigning timid dogs to timid people. Next came kennel maintenance and the dismal task of checking dogs' stools to assess their health. Shoveling poop into a pail with an ice pick, I thought, "I'm paying for this?" But there was the I.T. guy, connecting with nature.
Finally, we hauled our sleds to the trailhead in the van, pulling a caravan of yelping pups in a trailer behind us. In the bitter cold, Mr. Gut gave us another demonstration on lines. Like sailing, fishing, and mountaineering, dog sledding has a complicated vernacular of knots. And as with those sports, the knots interest novices—myself included—less than they do the pros.
We hitched the eager dogs to the sleds and Mr. Gut showed us how to stand on the runners and lean our bodies left and right to steer. We got acquainted with the snow anchor, a lead hook that claws into ice and snow and is used as a precaution when the sled is stopped. Most important are the brakes. My sled had two systems: an aluminum bar at the back and under it a drag mat—a piece of conveyor belt that drags atop the snow. Though the bar is more effective, the mat felt more natural to use. To slow down, stand on it; to speed up, get off.
By now the hounds were howling with anticipation. I finally released the brake, yanked up my anchor and was instantly and noiselessly being pulled along (the dogs don't bark when moving).
These muscle machines carried me up a narrow mountain path for 2 miles without stopping. Mr. Gut was ahead and out of sight, so it was just me and the dogs, who required little direction on the narrow path. We swooshed through the largest protected forest in Central Europe, passing trickling waterfalls and fragrant pines. As the path widened, the dogs became more difficult to control—sometimes, they all wanted to go in different directions. Intersections and open fields were especially tricky. This is often when wipeouts occur. Both times I went down, I was unable to command the dogs to stop, and had to chase down the moving sled and jump onto it.
Being top dog, it turns out, is exhausting. You're exposed to the elements for hours a day, falls are frequent, and there is a lot of kennel cleaning and poop. If you love dogs, you should know that you'll spend little time cuddling them. This is a lesson in agility and learning to be alpha. The silence of the woods and the beauty of the snow-draped trees are incidentals—if very pleasant ones.
