I was reading the article written to Santa from our editor. I first passed it to read other parts of the paper.
As I perused the pages, I found I kept going back to the article. I often read his articles and am quite fond of nearly all of them.
While reading, I found myself smiling and by story's end I realized that I had even broken into a full snicker a couple of times. It's my opinion that this was a well-written, timely and funny article.
On behalf of the Perry County Council on Aging and all those we serve, I would like to thank Rolling Thunder Indiana Chapter 7 for their continued donations, which make our organization able to provide transportation services for our Perry County residents.
We would also like to thank Evangelical United Church of Christ for the generous donation to our Senior Center. Once again Perry County Council on Aging has received local support from these organizations and it is greatly appreciated.
My husband and I were visiting my family in Tell City when my husband had a heart attack. I was able to get him to the Perry County Memorial Hospital in less than 10 minutes, where they stabilized him during his attack.
He was then taken by ambulance to St. Mary's Medical Center in Evansville to undergo a heart-catheterization procedure that will give him a new lease on life.
Editor's Note: This column first appeared in December 2009.
My face reddens easily, but never more quickly than when I say something I shouldn't. I can take back what I write, at least before the paper goes to print, but words that leave my mouth can't be retracted.
Editor's Note: In the months before the Christmas of 1897, an 8-year-old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the New York Sun, asking if there really was a Santa Claus. Edward P. Mitchell gave the assignment to Francis P. Church, whose reply to Virginia appeared in the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of the Sun. Virginia's letter and Church's reply, as it appeared in the Sun, are reprinted below. Virginia O'Hanlon Douglas died May 13, 1971.

The Gillard government is drawing a long bow in claiming that its carbon compensation package for households will make a major contribution to modernising the tax system and improving work incentives and transparency.
But it is overly coy in saying its changes are in line with the recommendations of the Henry tax review — they are better.
The package, costing $8 billion over four years, contains small tax cuts to compensate for the even smaller impact of the emissions price. It then tries to recover part the cost by lifting the existing 15 per cent marginal rate to 19 per cent and fiddling around with the 30 per cent rate and the low income tax offset (LITO).
By some strange logic, the government claims to improve transparency by increasing the 30 per cent tax rate to 32.5 per cent and cutting the withdrawal rate on LITO from 4¢ to 1.5¢ for each extra dollar earnt.
One of yesterday's "fact sheets" acknowledged the effective marginal rate is still 34 per cent, "but it is now more transparent".
But what's the difference between adding 32.5 plus 1.5 compared with 30 plus 4?
The main change is lifting the tax-free threshold from $6000 to $18,200. This will let some high-income earners pay less tax by splitting more of their income with a non-working partner.
But it will provide few additional work incentives for those who receive LITO – it already creates an effective tax-free threshold of $16,000. To reduce the cost of lifting the tax-free threshold, the government will cut the cash value of the offset from $1500 to $445.
The upshot is that the new effective tax-free threshold for those on LITO will be $20,542 instead of $16,000. But removing the 15 per cent tax rate on this small income band is unlikely to do much to improve work incentives for the unemployed, who still face a 60 per cent withdrawal rate on the NewStart allowance for each extra dollar they earn.
Employers are also reluctant to hire people whose work skills have atrophied. The main incentive for the long-term unemployed and the disabled to get a job is that they can lose benefits if they don't make a serious effort to find work.
In a further complication, the government will introduce a $300 supplement to LITO to look after very low-income earners who would otherwise get nothing from the changes to compensate them for the impact of the emissions price.
However, it can claim that one million fewer people will now have to submit a tax return.
Contrary to the government's claims for its package, increasing the 15 per cent marginal rate to 19 per cent may create work disincentives for those earning between $18,200 and the $37,000 threshold for the new 32.5 per cent rate.
The impact will be much smaller than the Henry review's increase from 15 per cent to 35 per cent for more than two million people who earn between $25,000 and $37,000.

Ok here you go, you have made up your mind but there are still some things to think of; college, ranger, duty stations ect. Now take all this you hear on the internet with a grain of salt. All the advise is great but make sure its up to date. If someone is not currently in then their info may be a bit off. Hell, I am an E6 at Fort Campbell and been in since June 2002. I am 11B4P85WF7 (all that means is 11B, SSG, Airborne, Instructor, Jump Master, Pathfinder) and my info may not be up to date enough.
Now all that say you cant do college while being 11B is wrong! I do it all the time. Do online school. Pick a major after you get to your duty station. I am working toward a BA in Homeland Security and Emergency Management. I spend about 5 hours a week doing school work and get A's and B's. Don't go strait to the bar after work. Take some time to do school work and then go. there is plenty of time. Now while deployed you can still do it. Deployments are easier and easier every year. You will have down time. And if for what ever reason you don't there is plenty of time between cycles, my classes are only 5 weeks long. College is free and your dumb not to start knocking it out asap. Look how many other 11B's get out with out it. You will have a leg up.
Now ranger, I never went but should have. I always here about people who had orders for it and never did it. Most were sick of all the BS that is basic. Might as well get it all done at once. Promotion is much easier and re-enlistment bonuses are much bigger with a ranger tab. Going to Ranger Batt sounds great, I don't have much experience with that. I have worked with them in the sand box and it was great.
Lastly, volunteer for schools. Every dumb school you can get. No matter what the more schools you have the more likely you will get promoted. Every thing from Field Sanitation to jump master makes you more marketable then the next guy.
Good luck and if you have any questions PM me your number and I will give ya a call.
Remember never quit. That's what they want you to do.

I have been a very happy seller and ocasonsl buyer on GunBroker for over eight years. I mainly sell old stock inventory from my closed gun shop. My feedback is an A+ with 1456 feedbacks. June 9, 2014 a GunBroker email informed me that they have temperairly closed my account for a complaint from a customer that I had been tring to contact for an over sold item. The buyers GunBroker listed phone number was disconnected and the address did not match the return address on the buyers letter that I received. I emailed the buyer and requested the correct address to send a refund check. I was given a third address and sent the refund 6/19/2014. It is now July 4, 2014 and GunBroker "Customer Service" has not reopened my acount despite an email from the buyer reporting that the refund check was received. I have found that it is impossible to comucate with GunBroker. I had 90 items listed, some with bids when they "temporairly" closed my account. I am a 67 year old US Army Veteran living on social security. THe money from the GunBroker account was very much needed. I will be forced to use another auction sight to list my many items for sale. It will mean hundreds of new photographs and discriptions for the new auction sight. For the new seller I would recommend an on line auction sight that has Real Customer Service, not GunBroker.Com!

Hamlet will return to Wittenberg next year as part of a Shakespeare's Globe tour that aims to visit every country on Earth over a two-year period.
The production, a revival of a previous touring show, will restart life with a run at the South Bank venue before its first international stop in Amsterdam. Over the course of 2014, Hamlet will make 70 stops at venues including the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, an outdoor theatre in the rainforest in St Lucia and Roman theatres in Bulgaria and Macedonia.
If that project seems like a harmonious exercise in border-hopping, the Globe's new season at home will be the opposite, focusing on the conflict between nations. Artistic director Dominic Dromgoole announced a summer season of Shakespeare plays and new writing about war under the banner title Arms and the Man.
There is a distinctly Roman edge to the Globe's 2014 programming, with a new production of Antony and Cleopatra lining up alongside Dromgoole's own staging of Julius Caesar and a revamped revival for Lucy Bailey's bloody Titus Andronicus – a production that reportedly caused audience members to faint in 2006. The Shakespearean element of the season will be completed by a new production of The Comedy of Errors directed by Blanche McIntyre. However, it is the Globe's continued determination to produce new writing for the historical venue that stands out with playwrights Richard Bean, Howard Brenton and David Eldridge contributing new plays alongside the poet Simon Armitage. Each of the four plays will focus on a different war from history.
Brenton's play, entitled Doctor Scroggy's War, will mark the centenary of the first world war with a narrative that follows a 19-year-old soldier to the trenches and his subsequent relationship with the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies. Elridge will look at the history of Jerusalem in Holy Warriors, a play that takes a wide-angle view stretching from the Roman conquest to today's conflict via the crusades.
Elsewhere Bean's play Pitcairn, a collaboration with Max Stafford-Clark's company Out of Joint, will consider colonialism, and Armitage will dramatise the end of the Trojan siege in The Last Days of Troy.
Some eyebrows have been raised by the fact that the new Globe season does not feature a play by a female writer, at a time when there is renewed scrutiny of the historical gender imbalance in British theatre.
Dromgoole admitted that "more should be done, will be done", but insisted the Globe wasn't neglecting its duties. "We have female playwrights under commission, are discussing already written plays by female playwrights and are hoping to make the Globe available for them in the future," he said.
The season will crown a busy period for the Globe. A new indoor space, the candlelit Sam Wanamaker theatre, will open in January, and the following month the theatre will complete its first Broadway run for the double-bill of Twelfth Night and Richard III starring Mark Rylance, which has just announced a two-week extension until 16 February 2014.

Wings hope power-play surge continues vs. Sabres
Buffalo Sabres at Detroit Red Wings
- The Sabres (72) and Red Wings (70) enter Monday's contest with the two fewest points in the Atlantic Division, though Detroit has played two fewer games than Buffalo. The teams have played three one-goal contests this season, with the Sabres taking two of them.
- The Sabres' 2-1 victory at Anaheim on Friday was just their second shootout win in eight tries this season. Detroit, on the other hand, is a perfect 8-0 in games decided via shootouts.
- After defeating Colorado, 5-1, on Saturday, the Red Wings have won consecutive games for the first time since February 18-19. Detroit now seeks its first three-game winning streak since January 14-18.
- Jack Eichel's assist on Friday was his 20th since February 4, a total which tops the NHL. His 28 points since that date is tied with Patrick Kane for most. For the season overall, Eichel's scoring rate of 0.96 points per game would be the highest by a Sabre since Tim Connolly averaged 0.98 points per game in 2008-09 (minimum 40 games).
- Red Wings forward Tomas Tatar has totaled five points over his last two games, matching his career high over any two-game span (1/17/2015 - 1/18/2015). Tatar's 10 points in March are the first time he's achieved double figures in any month since November 2015 (10).
- Henrik Zetterberg's two-point effort on Saturday was his eighth multi-point game since February 18. With 59 points this season, Zetterberg needs one more to reach 60 for the ninth time in his career, which would tie Nicklas Lidstrom for the fifth-most such seasons in Red Wings history.
NHL Headlines
- Leafs-Caps to play outdoor game at Navy
- Pens, Preds have overcome big injuries
- Minus Letang, no-name Pens 'D' thriving
- Laviolette, Sullivan make US history
- Power plays less successful in playoffs
The Detroit Red Wings are finding an effective power play for the first time this season, even if it is far too late to save their season.
The Wings scored twice with the man advantage Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche after netting a pair of goals on the power play Thursday during a 5-4 shootout win over the Arizona Coyotes.
It marked the first time all season that the 28-31-11 Red Wings, who will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 1989-90 season, scored multiple times on the power play in consecutive games.
The Red Wings will be looking to make it three in a row -- both in terms of victories and in games with more than one power-play goal -- when they play host to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday at Joe Louis Arena.
"This is what we needed," said Detroit left-winger Tomas Tatar, who scored twice Saturday to reach the 20-goal plateau for the third time in four seasons. "Without the power play, you can't win the games.
"You need these goals to get you going in a certain point of the game and I feel like the last few games our power play's working, which is huge and that's why we're getting points as well."
The Detroit power play has even climbed out of the NHL's basement. At 13.8 percent, the Red Wings moved into a tie for 28th with the Vancouver Canucks and ahead of the Avalanche (12.9 per cent).
Detroit coach Jeff Blashill sees a different group on the ice when the Red Wings are enjoying the man advantage, a unit that suddenly expects to put the puck in the net.
"No question confidence is a huge factor," Blashill said. "It's a huge factor in individuals, it's a huge factor in units and it's a huge factor as a team.
"Certainly, our power play (units) both feel better about themselves as units and while they still have to take on their own identity a little bit, I think both units have done a good job."
Individual, the overall numbers still don't paint a pretty picture. Center Dylan Larkin, who tallied with the man advantage Saturday, leads the team with five power-play goals. Justin Abdelkader and Frans Nielsen are next with four apiece.
At the other end of the spectrum, Philadelphia forwards Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn share the NHL lead with 15 power-play goals apiece. Combined, those two have nearly as many power-play goals as the entire Red Wings team (31).
There is no such worries in Buffalo. The Sabres own the NHL's second-best power play (23.3 percent), paced by Matt Moulson's 10 goals.
Buffalo's 2-1, 10-round shootout win Friday at Anaheim allowed the Sabres to improve to 2-6 in the shootout.
"We really needed to see that puck go in the net," Sabres coach Dan Bylsma told the Buffalo News of the shootout winner by Zemgus Girgensons.
Detroit, an NHL-best 8-0 in the shootout, recalled forward Tomas Nosek on an emergency basis Sunday from AHL Grand Rapids. Forward Darren Helm left the Saturday game with a lower-body injury, and if he can't go Monday, Nosek would be inserted.

JOHN Britten, Bill Gallagher, Colin Murdoch, Richard Pearse and Alan Pritchard - all famous New Zealand innovators who have helped shape and grow the country into what it is today.
We have grown up with these and many more names influencing our everyday lives. But have the youth of today grown lazy with everything being provided for us or is it the opposite?
There are many competitions available for today's young innovators to show what they're capable of, providing opportunities to help New Zealand grow and develop.
New Zealanders are leaders in innovation. We have a culture of being able fix anything with a bit of number 8 wire, and this is reinforced by the number of inventors and life-changing inventions that have shaped New Zealand's history.
Godfrey Bowen, a New Zealand farmer, invented an improved sheep shearing technique that changed the industry; John Britten designed and built a world-record-setting motorbike; Colin Murdoch invented the first disposable hypodermic syringe; and Richard Pearse was the inventor of the first powered flying machine.
Our small country has produced many prominent innovators who have changed our everyday lives.
We can be proud of our status as leading innovators, paving the way for the inventors of the present and future.
"But everything's already been done" is one of my brother's favourite sayings. However, this is not true.
With over 300 new medicines having become available in the past 10 years and nearly 3000 in development, I think it is safe to say that there are constantly new developments being made in the medical world alone.
In another sphere, we have the thrilling ride provided by the Zorb, invented by Kiwi brothers David and Andrew Akers and scientist Dwayne van der Sluis. Thrill-seekers, strapped into the giant ball, are sent down a grassy slope near Rotorua at a speed of up to 50km/h.
Such creations add to the New Zealand experience, not only for tourists, but for the country as a whole.
And with devices such as retinal implants for the blind and new computer interfaces being invented daily, there are clearly still plenty of new things to discover and invent.
With opportunities in the form of TV shows and awards to spur the efforts of young innovators, there is lots of motivation to step up and shape our future.
Schools up and down the county participate in annual science fairs that offer great prizes for exceptional ideas. Competitions like the Young Innovator Awards also help promote innovation and invention. These competitions give the next generation of inventors the chance to show off their ideas.
The TV programme Let's Get Inventing also shows and shapes young Kiwis' dreams and inventions, making them tangible and helping to solve real-life problems. There is no shortage of information or aid for the next generation of Kiwi inventors to make themselves known to the world.
Inventors define our past and shape our future. New ideas make our lives easier, more comfortable or simply more exciting.
With fresh ideas from our latest generation of creative thinkers, the country will continue to grow and thrive through innovation.

I have the EXACT SAME CONFIGURATION/ HARDWARE. However, I WAS able to do this. It involved using small snips, cutting down the WiFi (copper?) module just a bit on the end, so as not to interfere with either the plastic power lense,or the camera. When attempting to close, I then discovered that if the WiFi module comes into contact with the on board POWER/ CHARGING module/ input, the WiFi metal module will interrupt the charging, and not work. To fix THIS, I placed a small piece (1/2") of electrical tape over the POWER/ CHARGING module input to disable any metal contact. It was worth it. Took me 20 min, and my signal is BETTER, even though I snipped the tiny end off the WiFi module. You can MAKE it fit! Now my screen does not ripple, and WiFi response is much improved. Hope this helps!
Just cracked the back of my Planet 7 with 2.2.4... kernel 2.6.34. Yes, the copper wi-fi antenna is fastened to the screen side of the case with double sided adhesive, and the wire is taped across the back of the screen to the PCB and yes, it will not fit in location as suggested above due to the SD card slot was in the way. I moved my antenna wire from the back of the screen and re-fastened the antenna module with its original adhesive to the opposite side just above the battery and applied double sided tape to the antenna wire to keep it attached to the case back and not the screen back. There is plenty of space in that area. When the case is closed the battery is in the same position to the antenna as it was originally, but the wire is no longer attached to the back of the screen. I cannot see any loss of wi-fi signal but a great improvement on touch screen operation. I apologize for the lack of pictures... I just plain FORGOT! In addition my charger plug did not fit securely in the female socket so I verrrry gently increased the tension on the "barrel" contact of the charging receptacle. Now it is charging as it should, the red light stays on until it reaches 100%.

Offensively the Sox featured a different lineup and style. With Tony Graffanino in the leadoff spot and Thomas batting second -- the first time in his 14-year career -- the Sox put together eight runs on 14 hits against A's starter Ted Lilly, their bullpen and defense (four errors).
Miguel Olivo, who had a big night himself going 3-4, put the Sox on top with a solo homer in the second inning. The A's tied the game with a solo home run of their own, off the bat of Miguel Tejada in the second, but the Sox came right back in the third.
With one out, Graffanino hit a double, followed by a Thomas single. With men on the corners, Magglio Ordonez hit a deep fly ball over the left field fence, but not out of the reach of leftfielder Eric Byrnes, who caught the ball only to drop it on his way down. Graffanino and Thomas scored on the triple, putting the Sox up, 3-1.
The game was delayed for a few minutes as a section of the outfield wall, which fell on the play, was fixed it. Paul Konerko then hit a soft grounder to Mark Ellis at second who threw the ball away on the throw to the plate, allowing Ordonez to score. Konerko then scored on a Joe Crede single, giving the Sox a 5-1 lead.
The Sox then loaded the bases with one out, but Jose Valentin -- batting in the eighth spot -- grounded into a 1-2-3 double play.
Loaiza allowed just one more run over the next three innings, coming on a Scott Hatteberg single in the fifth.
The Sox scored their sixth run in the fifth. With Olivo on first and two outs, Valentin hit a short fly ball over the head of a diving Tejada. Tejada couldn't make the play and Olivo kept on running, scoring from first. The Sox again loaded the bases -- walks to Willie Harris and Graffanino -- but Thomas hit a fly ball to end it.
Graffanino, playing in place of D'Angelo Jimenez, reached base in all six plate appearences, going 2-2 with four walks. Graffanino also stole a base. Thomas went 4-6 with two doubles and an RBI.
A Carlos Lee single in the sixth, scoring Konerko, put the Sox up 7-2. After an Olivo infield single, Valentin grounded out. The Sox left a combined 13 men on base.
Kelly Wunsch threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief for Loaiza, but Tom Gordon wasn't as fortunate, walking the bases loaded with two outs in the eighth, failing to record a single out. Damaso Marte finished the inning and the game, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
The Sox added an insurance run in the ninth with a Thomas double, scoring Graffanino. That put the Sox up 8-4.
Lee, batting in the six-hole behind Crede, went 2-5 with a RBI, and Harris went 0-4 out of the nine spot. Olivo batted seventh in the order and Ordonez and Konerko moved up one spot to the three and four holes.
The rubber-match of the three-game set will be Thursday afternoon at 2:35 CT. Jon Garland will be going up against lefty John Halama.

Every day, in the news, it seems there are more and more people's lives being ended by guns. In December, it was 27 people including 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary. In January it was an innocent bystander in a gunfight at a community college in Texas. These were just the highly publicized incidents.
Now in Chicago, Jesse Jackson and other citizens are calling for President Obama to come to the city to push the gun control laws to the forefront, hoping that leaders in the city will see how big of a problem it is and move forward with plans to help. In 2013 alone so far, there have been 42 homicides and 157 shootings just in Chicago. One of the people killed was a teen girl with a bright future who sang at Obama's inauguration.

Beats Electronics Won't Renew Contract with Monster for Headphones

The relationship went downhill due to financial terms
Beats Electronics and Monster Cable Products have decided to go their separate ways once their contract expires later in 2012.
Beats Electronics, a
brand of headphones
and loudspeakers that is marketed by hip hop artist Dr. Dre and Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine, has decided not to renew its five-year contract at the end of the year with electronics company Monster Cable Products, which manufactured the headphones since 2009.
The relationship went downhill due to financial terms, according to
. Both sides would argue over who deserves the most credit for the idea and for the success of the top-of-the-line headphones.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, Noel Lee, chief executive of Monster Cable Products, unveiled some of his plans for the future of his company post-Beats Electronics. While Beats tends to cater to young 20-year-olds, Monster is looking to appeal to other groups such as athletes, business professionals and women. He showed off some of the company's new headphones at CES, which are now available for pre-order.
An example of Monster's new offerings is a pair of in-ear headphones dubbed the Miles Davis line where the buds are shaped like trumpets and have volume controllers that look like piston vavles. There are currently eight new lines.
"We can be the Apple of the headphones space, with or without Beats," said Lee.
Beats will continue to hold the rights to the sound technology, the brand and the circular design after the break-up. While Beats can be found in
HTC smartphones
, HP computers and the Chrysler 300 S sedan, it's looking to expand into audio gear for athletes and TVs as well.
"We have very big ambitions for Beats beyond headphones," said Iovine. "Music has got to succeed on the phone or else the record industry will never thrive."
As far as the split goes, Iovine said, "They're doing their thing, and we're doing ours."
And the beat goes on.
"I modded down, down, down, and the flames went higher." -- Sven Olsen

Local Bands Live, Victoria, BC 2015
October 9, 2015 | Filed Under BC Photography Archive, British Columbia, British Columbia Photographic Archive, Canada, Canadian, Documentary Photography, History, Music, Music Archive, Pacific Northwest, Photographers, Photography, Punk Rock, Vancouver Island, Victoria | 2 Comments
Recently I've managed to get out and photograph a few local bands playing live, something that at the beginning of my career I did a lot. It's still fun and there's nothing like a live performance in a small venue. I'd never photographed any of the three bands, pictured below, before and they were photographed on different nights. What I found most interesting was how the bands shared members.
The first band I photographed was Line Traps, I went to see them as I knew their guitarist Tiemen Kuipers.
The second band was 12 Gauge Facial (love that name) as I'd met the vocalist Yasuko Thanh (who is also a novelist) at the Line Traps gig. The Line Traps' drummer was also 12 Gauge Facial's drummer.
The final band was Hank Angel and his Island Devils. Hank is the bassist for 12 Gauge Facial but I didn't realize that the guitarist from 12 Gauge was also in Hank's band.
Some people follow their history through their cultural interests, movies, books and music.
Music Archivist Jason Flower and Supreme Echo

Jason Flower is a music archivist who issues collections of forgotten, lost and hard to find music as well as being a collector and seller of new and old music LPs, 45s, tapes and CD's. His Victoria store and archival reissue record label bear the same name, Supreme Echo.
He's passionate about his music and that has led to collections of early punk music from places as diverse as Victoria and Poland. He's recently released collections featuring the music of punk pioneers The Dishrags and the 70′s glam horror heavy metal band Twitch, both from British Columbia. Another release collects the music of Northern Haze, a 1970′s Inuit metal band.
The releases usually come with printed material, history, interviews and photographs of the musicians.
You can check out some of his releases through his site here or you can purchase through here.
I've been archiving British Columbia through my photography so it's interesting to me to see other ways in which people archive the province, Canada and in Jason's case, other countries. I use images to collect history while Jason does it by retrieving hidden, forgotten or previously inaccessible recorded music, and makes it available to us again while reminding us of our musical histories.
The Pointed Sticks – Victoria, BC 2015

The Pointed Sticks, came out of the Vancouver punk scene in the late seventies. I photographed them quite often, perhaps only second to DOA, back then. They haven't played a lot in the intervening years although they have been performing and recording. I last saw them perform at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver in 2009 .
This Victoria gig was their first in the island city since 1981. It was an excellent show before an appreciative crowd.
It's been a long time since I've photographed in a small club and I'd forgotten how bad the lighting can be. It was why I often used flash back in the early days, there often just wasn't enough stage light to make decent photos. I was often the only photographer then and nobody objected to the use of the flash. This show I shot mainly available light but did shoot a few flash images, hoping I wasn't annoying the band too much.

I have a new show of my early Vancouver punk photos opening at the Talk Is Cheap Gallery on Pandora Street in Victoria this coming Saturday. I've been sorting through my negs yet again and had a couple news ones scanned. It's interesting what I keep finding.
I came across this group shot of the Ramones posing for me before their gig at the Commodore. I did notice the guy standing at left looking on but just figured he was a roadie or something and I'd just crop him out. However after seeing the scan I'm pretty certain that's it's Gerry Hannah from the Subhumans.
This is The Avengers, with Penelope Houston at right. I photographed them twice when they played in Vancouver.
Tim Ray and AV
October 17, 2010 | Filed Under Photography, Vancouver Punk | 2 Comments
I'm continuing a long slow sort through my boxes of negatives. A good lesson as to why you should keep your work not only organized and catalogued as you create it but make sure you have adequate written information with the photographs. There are so many envelopes of negatives documenting events that I only have a vague remembrance of.
I came across a folder of images of Tim Ray and his band AV who were part of the early Vancouver punk explosion. I've been having difficulties with my neg scanner (the old software doesn't seem to like the new computer) so I can't scan my negatives right now. I did find this print though and scanned it on the flatbed.
The photograph shows (L-R) Tim Ray, Bill Napier-Hemy, Unknown to me, Colin Griffiths in a dressing room at one of the clubs. Napier-Hemy and Griffiths played in the Pointed Sticks as well.
Tim was an interesting guy with quite a theatrical performance at times. I was just looking at negatives that show him starting out a show while his upper torso was encased in a large bag that he then punched his way out off. Unfortunately you'll have to wait for the fixing of the scanner before I can show those.

I have an exhibition of photographs that document the beginning of the Vancouver punk rock world that opens next Friday September 10, 2010 at the JEM Gallery (#36 – 22 East Cordova Street) in Vancouver. Please drop by and have a look. It's All Just Part Of The Noise, The Birth of Vancouver Punk runs until October 3rd.
Thanks to Carola Goetze for extending the invitation to exhibit at her gallery.
Many thanks to Tony Bardach for the use of his song lyric "It's All Just Part Of The Noise" in the show's title. For me it encapsulates a lot about that era, in that we all were there, creating, playing, listening, photographing, simply because we liked the music. We were all just part of the noise.

Mifeprex RU486
Medroxyprogesterone Use Associated With Repeat Abortions »
"Risk factors for repeat pregnancy terminations include teenage pregnancy, social deprivation, two or more previous live births or miscarriages at the time of the initial termination, and the use of posttermination contraception with implants and "...
Read the Medroxyprogesterone Use Associated With Repeat Abortions article »
(mifepristone) Tablets
Serious and sometimes fatal infections and bleeding occur very rarely following spontaneous, surgical, and medical abortions, including following MIFEPREX use. No causal relationship between the use of MIFEPREX and misoprostol and these events has been established.
- Atypical Presentation of Infection. Patients with serious bacterial infections (e.g.,Clostridium sordellii) and sepsis can present without fever, bacteremia, or significant findings on pelvic examination following an abortion. Very rarely, deaths have been reported in patients who presented without fever, with or without abdominal pain, but with leukocytosis with a marked left shift, tachycardia,hemoconcentration, and general malaise. A high index of suspicion is needed to rule out serious infection and sepsis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Bleeding. Prolonged heavy bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or othercomplications and prompt medical or surgical intervention may be needed. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience prolonged heavyvaginal bleeding [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Because of the risks of serious complications described above, MIFEPREX is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy(REMS) called the MIFEPREX REMS Program [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Before prescribing MIFEPREX, inform the patient about the risk of these seriousevents. Ensure that the patient knows whom to call and what to do, including going to an Emergency Room if none of the provided contacts are reachable, if she experiences sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, or syncope, or ifshe experiences abdominal pain or discomfort, or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea) for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol.
Advise the patient to take the Medication Guide with her if she visits an emergencyroom or a healthcare provider who did not prescribe MIFEPREX, so that the provider knows that she is undergoing a medical abortion.
MIFEPREX tablets each contain 200 mg of mifepristone, a synthetic steroid with antiprogestational effects. The tablets are light yellow in color, cylindrical, and bi-convex, and are intended for oral administration only. The tablets include the inactive ingredients colloidal silica anhydrous, corn starch, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate.
Mifepristone is a substituted 19-nor steroid compound chemically designated as 11β-[p-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-17β-hydroxy-17-(1-propynyl)estra-4,9-dien-3-one. Its empirical formula is C29H35NO2. Its structural formula is:
The compound is a yellow powder with a molecular weight of 429.6 and a melting point of 192-196°C. It is very soluble in methanol, chloroform and acetone and poorly soluble in water, hexane and isopropyl ether.
What are the possible side effects of Mifeprex (Mifeprex)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Bleeding and spotting are normal side effects of Mifeprex. Bleeding may be slightly heavier than a normal period. Call your doctor right away if you bleed enough to soak through 2 full-size sanitary pads per hour for 2 hours in a row.
Call your doctor at once if you have any other serious side effect, such as:
- general ill feeling and fast heart rate;
- a fever higher than 100.4 degrees F (38...

What are the precautions when taking mifepristone (ru486) (Mifeprex)?
Before taking mifepristone, tell your doctor if you are allergic to it; or to misoprostol; or to other progestins (e.g., norethindrone); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.

Transmission Transfer case question
I recently bought a 76 chevy truck. Its 4 wheel drive with a 355 motor, a 400 transmission and a 203 transfer case and lockouts on the front. When i bought it the guy told me 4 wheel drive worked but i never tested it. I went to use it one night and i realized i could only get the transfer case into 2 different gears. My buddy has an extra shifter so we decided to switch mine out to see if that was the problem. When we pulled the old shifter out I realized that it had steel spacers welded to the back of the shifter bracket plate so the shifter sat away from the transfer case about 3 inches. I got to looking around under the truck and the transfer case bracket that mounts to the frame has new holes drilled and has been moved back about 3 inches as well.
My only thought is that the truck is set up for a 350 transmission and the guy put a longer 400 transmission in it. This would move the transfer case back a few inches and in turn he had to weld spacers onto the shifter otherwise the shifter would come up through the floor underneath the seat. And since the shifter has spacers mounted on it the linkage is messed up now and it wont shift through all the gears. I was wondering if they made a special shifter for a 400 turbo transmission with a 203 transfer case.
Any advise or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
First place the transfer case only has 2 gears...low range and high range as well as a neutral position.. I am not too clear here as my truck has two shifters..one for the trans and one for the transfer case..What do you have??
I have a shifter for the transmission on the column and that works fine. My transfer case shifter is on the floor and that's the one I'm having trouble with. The shifter will only move into 2 positions not 2 gears I guess. I have a hi and low but I believe there should be a hi lock, hi, neutral, lo and lo lock.
Your lockouts are on the front axle and you have to get out of the truck and go to each axle end to manually lock the hubs..Get under the truck disconnect the shifter and see if you can move the shift lever on the transfer case to low hi and neutral...
Going by what you are saying and my experience with a '73 Blazer my dad put together and I tore up as a youth, you are correct in the hi lock - hi - n - low - low lock positions though the hi lock and low lock weren't really positions as I remember. It was just a bit more movement in the shifter. Our truck had a th400 swapped in after the original th350 lost rev and was rebuilt. My dad made a stop at an auto parts place with the new rebuild in the back of a pickup and when he came out the trans was gone. So a used th400 was picked up and redone with a custom output shaft that mated up with the th400.
Are you sure the t-case in your truck is a an np203?
If you are sure has the 203 been retrofitted with a part time kit that changed the way it worked?
Your 203 shifter assy has a adjustment hole like the muncie trans..
Put the T/C N
Disconnect the shifter rods from the shifter
Put the lever in the N position. The shifter assy has a 1/4 hole in the side.
Take a 1/4 Drill bit and push it thru the shifter assy and the rods and adjust as needed until the rods will line up with the shifter linkage on the T/C.
If the truck has a body lift you might double check to make sure the shifter handle is not hitting the body when you you try and push the handle all the way forward and pull it all the way back.
Your high lock will be all the way back towards the seat and L lock will be all the way forward.
Thanks for the info. I know it's a 203 transfer case because it doesn't have the 3 bolt cover on the back where the fill bolt is. And the truck has a 3 inch body lift so ill have to check that too. Also the cab is a 2 wheel drive cab but I don't think that makes a difference except you have to cut a hole in the floorpan rather than having an access cover.
And is there a way to tell if the part time kit was installed in your transfer case?
Most of the time I will have to make the shifter hole a little larger so the shifter will get all of the gears.

"My 8yo son wanted cards that were not too sweet or cute. I wanted a card that wasn't another ad for a toy or TV show. This simple card was our middle ground. He thought the phone design was cool, as did his guy friends, while the photo placement allows you to highlight whatever aspect of your child's personality you like: silly, sweet, cool, your choice. I only wish they had more techie or graphic-novel cards and invitations to make older boys get this excited for stationery."
"I ordered these for my son to pass out on Valentine's Day at school. Adorable! So much better than the store bought Valentine's Day cards!"
"such a fun card for girls or boys but my son loved them and so did his friends and some family he passed them out too. Cute size and loved the little envelopes that came with them. Cute graphics, great printing. A+++ quality! Thank you!!!"
"This Valentine's Day card with the cute face of my little enthusiastic "astronaut" was a huge hit for his first Valentine's Day party at School! I was afraid it would not arrive in time because my order wasn't processed for 4 days, but the shipping was very fast. The only problem with the order was that cards were exactly the same size as little envelopes provided and therefore didn't fit in them. After I called Customer Service they apologized for inconvinience and were so fair to refund me 25% on cards and promised to ship promptly envelopes one size bigger. The envelopes arrived the very next day but again the same size. At that point I didn't want to call them again, just cut myself all the cards for both of my boys and fit them into envelopes. Anyone who orders the cards should make sure the cards are cut properly to fit into envelopes! In short - super cute design, superb quality, excellent customer service!"
"My Daughter wanted these for the boys in the class although I think they are cute for both sexes! We received many compliments on these little cards! It was also great that they came pre-printed with my daughters name, it saved her from having to sign her name to 20+ cards!"

I would like to add one more note.
The coolest thing about Gio's original thread was that it sparked an interesting discussion about cultural norms in different parts of the world. Medusa, in particular, made a nice post.
Golden Skate aspires to be a truly international figure skating board. Of course we cherish all our U.S. and Canadian members. We have a good representation from Asia, especially Japan, and also some South American and Australian contributors, which is very cool because figure skating is not a big sport in many countries south of the equator.
But the fact is, we really, really, really would like to attract more European posters. Tell your friends! Post often, post long!

The Cold Awakenings
Book by: Changeling
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - The Cold Awakenings
The Cold Awakenings.
Part 1.
Damp earth. Distorted shafts of light. A leaf fell, dancing in the contented sighs of the wind. A bird shrieked it's joyous song to the never appraising morning. The boy lay, his eyes open, watching the world around him, face pressed to the cold soil, arms and legs limp and numb. For a while he just blinked and breathed and then blinked again, letting the damp creep through his clothes and the cold caress his skin. He sighed and his breath instantly writhed and contorted in the frigid air.
He sat up. Leaves clung to his clothes, his hair. He looked around him and saw the open trees, like sentries. The damp stumps like teeth and stubborn bushes fighting for light and life. He knew where he was but he couldn't understand how he knew, not anymore. He couldn't understand why his soggy attire clung to his skin. Or why the shafts of sunlight bit at his eyes. Why he had awoken. His mind shifted laboriously through answers, it moved as if wading through sludge. The harder he pushed the more he was resisted.
Something tugged at his conscience, compelling him to act. The boy moved, testing aching, cramped muscles in the crisp morning air. He pushed himself up on to unsteady feet despite the weight that tugged his limbs back to the earth, and the sick that rose in his stomach. For just a moment, his head swimming and his body threatening to collapse, he gained awareness, a sudden flutter of realization followed by a bolt of panic. Why was he here? How did he get here? What had happened to him? And then as quickly as his terror had risen it was smothered and pulled into a deep closet where it was locked from him. With empty eyes and no hesitation he turned and begun to climb up the steep hillside.
Slippery earth shifted under his heavy strides, threatening to hinder him, but the boy persevered. He came to the top of the hill to a path he recognised but didn't know. He followed it with the forested descent to his right and thick shrubbery to his left. He didn't understand why, but he was afraid. Afraid to return to the place of his belonging, and as the woods uncurled and opened to reveal to him the rolling valley and the twisting river it sheltered, each step increased his uneasiness and his lack of understanding. The boy felt as if what lay at the end of his road did not belong to him, that it was superficial and suffocating and he was afraid he'd disappoint it. He loved his place of belonging but didn't want it to love him.
He walked, time passed and the road led on.
He passed through a gate and strode with no clear intent onward. His face and movements betrayed nothing, but his damp, muddy clothes spoke of a long, ruthless night. With every breath exhaled his heart drummed louder in his chest and with every sullen footstep his breathing quickened. Street lights were beginning to blink off, relieving the surroundings from their sickening lights. Houses remained silent, sleeping, cold and distant. Nothing stirred but the occasional whisper of leaves and chorus of birdsong. Walking, slightly breathless and with touches of red fighting past his deathly pale cheeks the boy, dead-eyed, empty headed – hollow, came at last to the house.
As the boy approached a feeling of remorse and fear prickled in his veins. A small patch of garden was now all that stood before him and whatever it was he was afraid of . He didn't understand why he was afraid, just that he was. Hesitantly the boy crept to the front door. He looked up at the looming mass of stone before him and laid an unyielding hand on the wood of the heavy door, as if searching for an answer in it's coldness. He felt nothing but the same trepidation, pulsing through his veins. He pushed against the door and, breath withheld, passed the threshold.
For a second, like the hum of a familiar song or the feel of your own bed, he felt safe. And then as he came to shiver on the other side of the door the bliss was ripped away and he felt alone again. The boy knew this house, it was his belonging. But as he looked around at the thick stone walls and creaking wooden floor boards and the aged homely furniture of a happy family, he felt a tingle up from the base of his spine. The tingling feeling one gets when one enters a place alone that they know they should not be in; half excitement, half fear. Except, for the boy the feeling was far more chilling, the excitement replaced by a cold resentment and once again the boy felt the pang of guilt like a lap of frigid water to the chest. For a while he stood, taking in the smell of a home and watching the patches of golden lights made by the rising sun.
He walked with the same restraint and formality as he had along the streets, across a living room in which he could feel his childhood jumping and rolling and laughing around him. The boy came to
the twisting staircase half hidden in the wall. The very staircase he had raced down on Christmases, on birthdays, on snow-days.. For a while he just stood before the staircase, afraid to look up,
knowing what he'd see.
He turned up his head and, eyes betraying no shock, met the eyes of a hound sitting upon the stairs. A wolf with fur so black that the shadows around it seemed to meld it into the night, but with silver, opalescent eyes that pierced the darkness.
The hound stood sentinel and the boy stood obstinant. Neither spoke.

Well, hellow friend I just read this... Hmmm, the plot and story are good in their places, but I noticed that your writing language was a bit complicated, preventing it from flowing well. So I'd say you simply it, and don't use too much of big words, use the simpler ones. Anyway, happy writing, and Merry Christmas! :) :)

Immigration to Southern California counties and other counties around the state is boosting the anemic rate of population growth. At the same time, a record number of U.S. counties are hemorrhaging residents due to failing economies and the flight of young families chasing job opportunities.
A new census report released Thursday shows Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties among the top 10 in numeric gains, and the Los Angeles metro area joining New York, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston in adding more than 100,000 residents between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2012.
Los Angeles County illustrates the churning population in Southern California as residents head for the exit and pass immigrants on the way in. The county saw more than 41,000 immigrants move in.
Still, the county underwent a negative "domestic migration" of 40,361, which is the difference between the number of people moving in from within the U.S. and the number of county residents moving somewhere else in the country.
"The numbers you're seeing in Southern California are very, very low by historic standards and it's symptomatic of the economy," said Hans Johnson, co-director of research and a senior fellow at the San Francisco-based Public Policy Institute of California. "There's no surprise that people who are leaving the state for other states are going to other western states and Texas. "
Los Angeles County is inching toward the 10 million population mark in large part because of its birth-to-death ratio. There were 73,332 more births than deaths over the one-year period measured. Census figures show the county at 9,962,789 residents.
But while L.A. County ranks highest in the nation in terms of population, it is among the lowest Southern California counties when it comes to the rate of growth, at just 0.7 percent.
Riverside County, at a 1.4 percent rate of growth,is outpaced statewide only by Alameda County at 1.5 percent, bringing its population to nearly 2.3 million, or fourth in the state.
No county in California ranks among the top 100 fastest-growing counties nationwide.
"More people are leaving for other states than are coming to California," said Eugene Turner, a Cal State Northridge professor who studies population. "There's been a whole series of negative things that have impacted the California economy, so a lot of people that are middle class have gone to other places to find employment. "
On the other hand, counties in the Great Plains and West Texas are seeing a relative population boom.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau report, Midland, Texas, was the fastest-growing metro area, with its population increasing 4.6 percent. Odessa and the Austin-Round Rock areas of Texas ranked fifth and seventh respectively.
Casper and Cheyenne in Wyoming also ranked among the 20 fastest-growing metro areas, along with Manhattan, Kan., and Bismarck, N.D.
"After a long period of out-migration, some parts of the Great Plains "" from just south of the Canadian border all the way down to West Texas "" are experiencing rapid population growth," said Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau's acting director, in a news release.
"There are probably many factors fueling this growth on the prairie, but no doubt the energy boom is playing a role. For instance, the Permian Basin, located primarily in West Texas, and North Dakota accounted for almost half of the total U.S. growth in firms that mine or extract oil and gas, during a recent one-year period. "
At the same time, immigrants are propping up slow population growth in many metro areas across the nation, as the U.S. is seeing a record number of counties with decreasing populations.
Census data show that 1,135 of the nation's 3,143 counties are now experiencing "natural decrease," where deaths exceed births. That's up from roughly 880 U.S. counties, or 1 in 4, in 2009.
Without new immigrants, many metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and St. Louis would have posted flat or negative population growth in the last year.
The growing attention on immigrants is coming mostly from areas of the Midwest and Northeast, which are seeing many of their residents leave after years of staying put during the downturn. With a slowly improving U.S. economy, young adults are now back on the move, departing traditional big cities to test the job market mostly in the South and West, which had sustained the biggest hits in the housing bust.
Despite increasing deaths, the U.S. population as a whole continues to grow, boosted by immigration from abroad and relatively higher births among the mostly younger migrants from Mexico, Latin America and Asia.
The areas of natural decrease stretch from industrial areas near Pittsburgh and Cleveland to the vineyards outside San Francisco to the rural areas of east Texas and the Great Plains. A common theme is a waning local economy, such as farming, mining or industrial areas of the Rust Belt. They also include some retirement communities in Florida, although many are cushioned by a steady flow of new retirees each year.
As a nation, the U.S. population grew by just 0.75 percent last year, stuck at historically low levels not seen since 1937.
New York ranks tops in new immigrants among large metro areas, but also ranks at the top for young residents moving away.
Immigrants accounted for than 13 percent of the population growth in the Inland Empire, which rose by more than 48,000 people.
Emilio Amaya, who assists immigrants as the executive director of the San Bernardino Community Service Center, said the area remains a destination because of its relatively cheap housing.
"Rents are still lower than most places," he said. "We still see a lot of people commuting to other places such as Los Angeles. It's not so much employment. They've been able to find affordable housing. The other reason is warehouse and logistics jobs. In the last 10 years, warehousing in the Inland Empire is bringing in a lot of people. "

Category: names that mean life
One of our favorite twin names blogs ever was on distinct names that had shared meanings: Esme and Imogen, which both mean beloved, for instance, or Asher and Felix, which mean happy.
So we've decided to reprise the idea with a whole raft of new pairs of twin names. As before, the idea is to choose names that are compatible yet clearly individual — no shared first initials or other overly-obvious links — yet that are joined in a more subtle way by a common meaning.
In the girl-boy pairs below, the girl's name goes first as per Nameberry style; in single-gender pairs, the names are organized alphabetically.
Washington State berry Katy is a mother to three girls with meaningful names and spirited nicknames, a tradition she'd like to continue with her fourth child. Can this berry find a name that fits her criteria and her sibset? Here is what she says:
"My husband Colin and I are expecting baby #4! We have 3 daughters, 6 year-old twins Isobel Rose & Liv Michaela, and a 3 year-old Zoie Grace. Isobel's name means pledged to God, Zoie and Liv's names mean life.
We don't know the gender of the baby yet, but we've been searching for a name that has a meaning similar to Isobel's. We want to stay consistent. So far we've come up with Jack, Matthias, & Theodore (our favorite) for a little boy and for a little girl we found Elliot (our favorite), Libby, & Thea.
What does a name's meaning really mean? Lots of parents today don't know, much less care, what the baby names they like mean in Old German or Ancient Hebrew. The root meanings of so many names come down to some equivalent of "dark-haired sword protector gift of Jehovah" that have very little relevance to modern life.
And yet there are some names with meanings so uplifting that they gain appeal on that basis alone. What parent can fail to hope that a name that means wise or noble or loving might inspire a child to embrace those qualities?
If the meaning of a name means a lot to you, consider this wide range of choices. And there are lots more where those came from. Search either via the meaning option on supersearch or download the ebook version (or hey, even buy an old school paper edition!) of The Baby Name Bible.
Linda wrote last week on the question of whether a name's meaning still means anything. Maybe not so much, and yet several of today's most stylish names mean "life". Eve and Eva, Aisha and Zoe, Liv and all forms of Vivian share the life-affirming meaning.
Even if parents aren't searching for a name with a specific meaning, the fact that an attractive name carries an equally attractive meaning can only be a plus. Beautiful, strong, graceful, intelligent, star: These are all great meanings that may support the appeal of a name. But life may be the most powerful meaning of all.
If you like the life-affirming meaning and want a name a little further off the beaten track, here's a short list of other options:

KLA-Tencor Rising: FYQ2 Beats, Q3 Rev View Tops Consensus
Shares of chip equipment vendor KLA-Tencor (KLAC) are up 52 cents, or 0.8%, at $64.05, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus, and forecast this quarter's revenue higher as well.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose nearly 5%, year over year, to $705 million, yielding EPS of 85 cents.
Analysts had, on average, been modeling $704.8 million, and 80 cents per share.
CEO Rick Wallace said the company expects industry-wide growth in spending this year:
As we begin 2014, the prevailing outlook is for growth in the semiconductor equipment industry, with leading device manufacturers increasing their capital expenditures to adopt complex new device architectures and process technologies at the leading edge. The heightened yield challenges associated with these transitions are driving demand for process control and positioning KLA-Tencor for continued future success as a critical business partner to our customers.
On a conference call following the report, the company forecast revenue this quarter in a range of $790 million to $850 million, and EPS of $1 to $1.20. That is higher than the average estimate for $812 million, and in line with consensus for EPS of $1.10.
Other equipment names, such as Lam Research (LRCX), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Mattson Technology (MTSN), were unchanged in late trading.

Start out walking whatever you can. Four years ago I was so out of shape that a stroll around the block had me winded.
Now, I walk over four miles/hour. Forced march kind of walk. I don't jog, that's hard on the joints. Dropped from 260 to 205 pounds. I'm 5'10" so still overweight but have hit my second wall (first was at 225). I'll lose it, eventually.
Next is a backpack. I'll start with 10 pounds and work it up until I'm doing 4 mph with 50-60.
