I cannot believe that summer is coming to an end! It has been an amazing summer for me here at Cameron House. I couldn't have asked for a better group of campers! I have met a lot of new friends this year and hope everyone comes back next year. I wanted to say thank you again to everyone that came out to Family Night. It truly meant a lot to us and the campers. Even though it is our last week, we have a lot of fun activities planned. We have our Summer Carnival on Thursday, July 28th for our campers to celebrate the end of the year.
Summer Carnival is our mini carnival that we throw for all our campers and their departments. We'll have a bounce house, concession games, and good food!
Thank you again everyone for such an amazing summer! I have made a lot of new friends and a lot of lasting memories! If you ever have any questions, feel free to email me. Hope to see everyone next year (:

On secret service : a novel (edition 2000)
by John Jakes
Work details
On Secret Service by John Jakes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A regular potboiler, despite having some real historical characters woven into the stilted and unlikely action. Almost without exception the two-dimensional, fictional characters behave in an imprudent and unlikely manner, held together only by a set of coincidental events and happenings that defy reasonable probability. If this were to be the yardstick, I'd be very unlikely to consider reading more by this author.
I really enjoyed this book. It takes you right into the events leading up President Lincoln's assassination. I got sucked into the events and found myself hoping that the book's protagonist would be able to thwart the assassination, though I knew it couldn't happen.
Plodding at times but overall a good read

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0451204050, Mass Market Paperback)John Jakes is to historical American fiction what Stephen King is to horror: a one-man industry. Jakes, the author of over 60 books, including the eight-part Kent Family Chronicles, the North and South Trilogy, and innumerable short stories of the American West, returns to his well-trod Civil War stomping grounds in the engrossing On Secret Service. The story of a war within a war on various levels--the North v. the South, the Union's Pinkerton Detective Agency v. the Confederacy's agent provocateurs, youthful idealism v. youthful lust--On Secret Service chronicles the lives and times of four young Americans, from the war's early tremors in January 1861, through its bloody conclusion, Lincoln's assassination, and John Wilkes Booth's murder in May 1865.
The main players are Lon Price, the ardent abolitionist and rising-star operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and Margaret Miller, the beautiful, initially vacuous daughter of the South whose chief concern is that the war be over quickly so as not to interfere with Washington's upcoming social season. After a chance encounter in a Washington park, they are as repulsed by each other's political views as they are drawn together by an undeniable physical chemistry. As hostilities increase, the Pinkertons are pledged to the service of the Union and Lon becomes, ipso facto, a charter member in the U.S. Secret Service. When Margaret's stridently pro-slavery father is gunned down by a Pinkerton operative at a clandestine "Secesh" meeting, Margaret throws off her socialite mantle and vows revenge. She pledges allegiance to the South's most notorious female spy, the wealthy, well-connected, and equally well-endowed Rose Greenhow.
A parallel relationship develops between Margaret's unlikely best friend, the boyishly slight Hanna Siegel, a devout abolitionist who longs to prove herself on the battlefield, and the conflicted Captain Frederick Dasher, late of West Point, now of the First Virginia Cavalry, and protégé to Brigadier General "Jeb" Stuart. Played out before a scrim of battles, lives, fortunes, and reputations won and irreparably lost, Lon, Margaret, Hanna, and Fred cat-and-mouse their way through America's costliest war.
While the respective outcomes are somewhat predictable, what is not predictable is the degree to which the reader is captivated by Jakes's encyclopedic command of historical fact and his unmatched storytelling. The mingling of well-drawn fictional characters with nicely fleshed-out historical figures raises to rare levels circumstances that would, in lesser hands, seem mere contrivances. --Michael Hudson
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:02 -0400)
The shadow war between the Secret Services of the Federal and Confederate governments provides the backdrop for this story. Jakes, as usual, adroitly interweaves a cast of fictional and historical characters, placing them in historical places and events. His research is more than cursory; however, it does seem that the Confederates are a bit more nasty, more villainous, than their Federal counterparts. Michael Kramer's steady voice moves the exciting plot, with all of its twists and turns, at an even pace. He is especially good with the narrative portions. Whether he's describing drunken soldiers in Washington or the New York City Draft Riots of 1863, one can picture the action taking place. Vocal characterizations are, in the main, competent, with male Northerners the strongest and female Southerners the weakest.… (more)

Yeah Abel's mom appears to be coming back next week. She disappeared after Donna's funeral when she saw Tara and Jax kiss. I forgot all about her until that preview.
Opie is going to have some major resentment towards Jax right now too. Like he said, Jax convinced him to stay in the club when he wanted out after doing 5 years in prison, and now Jax wants to bail for the same reasons that Opie had (take care of his family). That has to piss him off way more than he showed in the hospital.
There's also the possibility that Tara is done with Jax, assuming she isn't killed while she's in the hospital. His involvement with the club just ended her career as a surgeon which also eliminated their only opportunity to get out of Charming. Her speech to him in the hospital where she ends up completely breaking down and yelling at him to leave makes me think a separation could be on the way if she survives this season.
i forgot all about her seeing them kiss at the funeral, and opie is a hot head right now. i think it's gonna eventually ends up in opies hands and jax gets out when all is said and done, like clay is dead and all the drug shit is over. but who the fuck knows,, i sure hope not opie bugs the shit out of me. and i cant see any way that they makers of the show ever pull jax and tara apart, theres no way either of them want it deep down, they are way too in love, so like i said shits gonna hit the fan in these next few episodes but after clay is dead and all that shit iwll calm down, jax will get out to take care of his family, and opie takes over.....................orrrrrrrrrr that federal fagget fuck (i forgot his name the long haired lying fuck) takes down the club and they all go to jail again. theres honestly too many possibilities and factors to try and predict exactly what happens lol
and how the FUCK did the black cop get those bruises on his face? did i miss something?

Where I stayed
Two different places - one expensive, one cheap
We arrived back to the already familiar Kuta and found a slightly less than desirable hotel. Not as undesirable as the first one we looked at which really was the pits and only the utmost desperation would have inspired us to stay there despite the momentarily tempting low price. We settled on a very basic room which smelt quite unpleasantly of moth balls and damp but was habitable non the less and even had a swimming pool thrown in to ease the slightly over ambitious price. Still the likelihood of sharing the bed with undesirables (in the insect form) was lessened somewhat and so we took it.
I don't think we got up to much that day - it pretty much poured with rain all day and everyone thought the rainy season had arrived early. We got soaked but as it was still warm it didn't seem too much of an issue. We had a walk around the town and sorted out our action packed final few days in Bali
Our first of that nature began the following morning as the sun made its reappearance much to everyone's relief. We were picked up from our hotel at 8ish and hopped on the back of bikes to the beach. Miriam shot gunned the back of our surf instructors bike which was very unfair altogether as I'm never the quickest in the morning and so I resigned myself to the back of the not quite so attractive tour company operator. Alex the surf instructor turned out to be quite a character!
The high tide was pretty, well, high when we got down to the beach and so in true Bali style we just chilled on the beach for the majority of the morning - we were supposed to have a 3 hour lesson from 9-12 but as none of us really had anything better to do it sort of turned into an 11 - sunset day of beach, sun and surf. Alex took the opportunity of the high tide to have a quick surf himself and so after just telling us he had never surfed until a year before hand when he moved to Bali from Sumatra, proceeded to show off his new found talents with many a large wave well surfed and even a few well executed handstands on his board while riding a wave. He also had a crash which was far more entertaining we reckoned!
After a little longer under the palm trees he decided the tide was low enough and waves low enough so after a few ever so slightly amusing stretches on the beach, we picked up our surf boards, tucked our tails between our legs and set off in search of some humiliation!
'I though you said you could stand' he asked with raised eyebrows as I fell off my board for the umpteenth time. I explained that I had been able to and then gave a little lesson in the basics of the past tense as wave after wave crashed over and I struggled not to inhale half the Indian ocean. Towards the end of the first half I was beginning to get back in the swing of things but I still spent more time under waves than on top of them so there was a long way to go. We crawled back up the beach and collapsed in a big heap under the welcome shade of the conveniently located band of trees which run along the top of Kuta beach. Before long we were back paddling furiously against the waves with hope of some more success. I had my 'soul mate' waiting for me back on the beach I was assured and watching my attempts to surf. He was another Indonesian beach bum who was one of the many who regularly (so for the hours of daylight) hung out in the same spot on the beach - by Alex's surf boards everyday. By some weird coincidence under a tattoo on his arm he had in very small writing my name tattooed onto his arm
Meanwhile back in the water I was having a little more success. Standing up was getting a little easier and was beginning to gain a little control over my board at last. It was encouraging. Although still a long way to go before handstands!
Under strict instructions we returned back to the beach for sunset and a few beers and a lot more harassment from the boys. Whose numbers seemed to be multiplying. Still a guitar appeared and I decided it wasn't too bad a life sitting on a beach in Bali watching the sunset, drinking beer for next to nothing and all the time listening to Indonesian covers of good songs. We found or rather we were found by a rather hilarious guy whose name escapes me but whose knowledge of Irish was quite impressive. It's quite astonishing to think when people as close to home as England and France struggle to comprehend Ireland has it's own language at all that you can sit on a beach in Bali and listen to an Indonesian say hello and how are you and the basics in fluent Irish - his accent wasn't half bad either! However the evening was interrupted somewhat by Miriam when after a stroll to the toilets came running back to the beach, fortunately rescuing me from the chore of being on my own with a very exciting surprise she said.
I grabbed my bag and we rushed back in the direction of the road. I saw them from across the street - Sarah and Stephen sitting outside another 7/11 having a beer. It was so good to see them again - not that we had a huge amount of catching up to do after only a few days apart but it was still good to see them again especially with the added excitement of being in Kuta and actually bumping into someone we knew! They didn't stay too long as had been up to do the same Volcano walk we had done the night before and so were pretty wrecked. We headed back down to the beach until we had had our fill of being serenaded by the music of Oasis and Damien Rice and headed for an early(ish) night.
It was an even earlier start the next morning as I was picked up at 7.30 to head right back up the North East coast for an exciting couple of dives. My dive master was lovely and it was just me him and another Polish diver setting out for the day. We had a 3 hour drive up to Tulamben which was just slightly further north than we had managed to get on the scooters the day we rented them from Candi Dasa so I was rather retracing my footsteps but it was nice in a way getting to be passenger and just take it all in rather than winding up and down the sides of mountains on scooterbikes. The dive site itself was a small stony beach in the shadow of the rather large and imposing Volcano Agung. The wreck itself was a US cargo ship which had been hit by a Japanese missile and had ended up on the shore. However in the 70's when Agung last erupted the force of the volcano forced the ship into the sea and now there it lies to his day between the depths of 6 and 30 meters and hosts a vast multitude of underwater life.
Our first dive was spectacular. It was my first time doing a dive from the shore rather than the boat but it was all fine - easier in a way as you descend much slower and more naturally so have less potential problems. We slowly made our way along and down the sea bed which became steep shortly after leaving the beach and then suddenly the huge bow of the ship loomed above us - just the silhouette visible. It was quite eerie but as it had been a cargo ship there were no deaths associated with it which makes it a more pleasant atmosphere that it might otherwise be. As we got closer the colours became clear to us and soon we were surrounded by them - the most vivid and intense colours I have ever seen - it was spectacular. And there were so many fish - many of the same varieties I saw on the Great Barrier Reef but some who were even bigger and brighter than I'd ever seen. It was spectacular. The wreck was incredible - quite unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Our dive was about 35 minutes long and we went down to about 27 meters - however it didn't feel like the big deal it had when I'd gone that deep to complete the speciality course - think like when I had the camera the lack of focus just made it all the more comfortable. And with the spectacular scenery the distractions were abundant.
We came up and headed back to the shore for lunch before wading back into the refreshingly cool ocean for the second dive of the day. We had had a choice of a second dive on the wreck or to head to a site further up the coast to dive on more of a reef. The Polish guy had been keen to do the second site but after discussion we settled on doing two on the wreck which was without doubt the best choice. That became apparent with the look on our dive masters face when we told him. On the second dive instead of swimming around the 120 meter wreck we were able to swim along the top of it and even inside it. It was amazing. The room we were able to swim inside was awesome. There was still room to get out of it as the roof was pretty eroded and open but we had to swim through this really narrow passage to get to it which required small spaces not to be an issue!
Along with all the normal fishes which inhabit warm tropical water we also were lucky enough to spot 2 sea horses which were so cool, an octopus, a sting ray and many giant fish. The coral and plants were amazing and combined with the colours of the coroded boat it was simply spectacular. More so in a way than the great Barrier Reef in my opinion. So it was an extremely successful day! Headed back to Kuta to find Miriam on the beach and after finding new and cheaper accommodation next to where Sarah and Stephen were staying we got a reasonably early night.
Yet another early start for me the following morning as I got up and got down to the beach for 7. I had half planned to get down there before 7 and before Alex had arrived as I'd begun to have enough of all his nonsense and he said rather sulkily the evning before that he might be there in the morning so I had no quarms about finding a new teacher if he didn't turn up. However I bumped into him on his bike as I was walking down to the beach and he was driving up to collect his own board so I continued down to the beach and waited for his return and then the boards to arrive. We headed out into the waves to begin a far more successful session. I fell off much less and became musch more comfortable standing up and even began to get the hang of turning. So glad I went back for that second lesson and it was an excellent way of waking up and preparing for a day of travelling! Alex only proposed marriage twice that day. Once as I was about to catch a wave which was not the sort of distraction which was condusive to improving my surfing and probably fell off the wave. Then got one more proposal on the shore after the lesson. However tempting to stay in Bali forever as a beach bum it wasn't enough to sway me! So I left the beach in time to head back to the hotel, have breakfast, a shower, pack the last of my things and head to the airport satisfied that I looked like less of a spastic frog when I fell off my surfboard as Alex had kindly told me after the first. Me and Miriam had managed to get our own back 5 minutes later though when he tried to convince us he was eating buffalo soup and that they lived on Lombok - we pointed out that Buffalo to the best of our knowledge didn't reside in Indonesia and came to the conclusion that he meant Ox and that he was eating beef. Much to our amusement!
I did realise however while eating breakfast at 9.15 that I had meant to get a taxi at 9 not 9.30 as I had stuck in my head as my flight was at 12 and as it was an international flight was supposed to be there 3 hours before hand! I got myself sorted, headed out and then bumped into Sarah and Stephen so by the time I actually left Kuta it was quite late and after the taxi's petrol stop even later however luckily there were no ques and so got through the airport in no time! Before I knew it I was regretfully leaving Bali behind and on my way to Bangkok. I'm sure I'll be back at some point though!

If life is the currency, I'm already rich.Posted by Donna Freedman on Sep 16, 2010 | 30 comments
J. Money has started a "Million Dollar Club" at his site, Budgets Are Sexy. Nicoleandmaggie from Grumpy Rumblings of the Untenured isn't rushing to join.
(I'm not really sure which of the two bloggers wrote this, so I'm going to guess that it was Nicole. I have a 50% chance of being right.)
Nicole and her spouse are making some smart choices, such as paying the mortgage off early, being canny about retirement funds and living on less than one salary. In this post she noted that throwing every extra dime and spare minute toward millionaire-hood would get them there faster.
To do so would mean giving up things like charitable donations, trips to the used bookstore, the option of having a second child, or even simply trying a new variety of cheese now and then.
"I'm not willing to make deep sacrifices for something that isn't going to change my quality of life that much in the future," she writes.
Me either. Besides: If life is the currency, then I'm already rich.
Sweet corn and old friends
It's precisely because I'm not chasing wealth that I have been able to spend six of the last nine months visiting friends and relatives in New Jersey, Alaska and Arizona. Two of those trips occurred due to serious illness of family members. Right now I'm in South Jersey visiting an aunt who is not likely to survive chemo.
Then again, last April I rushed here to visit another aunt who was very ill with pneumonia and not expected to live. She's 87 and still with us. I'm visiting her three or four times a week, too. I have that luxury because as a freelance writer I can work from wherever I happen to be.
In addition to visiting my aunts I've been able to help my dad on his Christmas tree farm. I've hung out with my brother and his family. I've met my niece's husband and baby. I had a great breakfast meeting with Flexo of Consumerism Commentary (boy, do I miss Jersey diners).
I spent some time listening to an old friend with a serious illness pour out her fears and anguish. I've eaten really good sweet corn, tomatoes and peaches (and far too many Tastykakes). I've driven around the area where I grew up and ruminated on who I was then vs. who I am now. And I'm hoping to make side trips to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. before I go back to Seattle at the end of the month.
Couldn't do those things if I were a regular working stiff.
Not ignoring the risks
Had I taken a job as soon as I finished my degree last December, I'd have had to wait at least a year to earn vacation time – and it probably would have been only a week's worth. I'd also have had either to quit writing for MSN or not create Surviving and Thriving. Both options are unpalatable.
I can easily survive on what I earn because I live simply. I save where I can so I can spend where I want. My income is a tool, not a toy: I use it to craft a life that works for me.
And this life does work for me. I plan to live as a freelancer (which pretty much precludes millionaire-hood) for as long as I can get away with it.
I'm not ignoring the risks, mind you. Like Nicole, I'm mixing short-term serendipity with long-term security. I do have some retirement monies from my newspapering days. I'm funding an individual retirement account and I have a solid emergency fund. I also have health insurance; it's pricey but I pay it because no machine runs for more than 50 years without some maintenance issues. And I bought a life insurance policy so that I can leave something for my daughter, who has a chronic illness.
Life holds no guarantees
When I think about money as "security," I get a mental picture of someone sitting in a bank vault surrounded by piles of cash that he is unwilling to share. I don't want to be Scrooge McDuck, backstroking through an ocean of dollars and singing, "Mine, mine, all mine!"
If there's one thing I've learned in my years on the planet, it's that there's no such thing as security. Your job, your health, the economy can all go south with incredible rapidity.
Suppose I'd found a full-time job after college (and these days, that's a big "if"). Right now I could be making more money. But I'd likely be spending more money; working people often do.
More to the point, I wouldn't be making a difference. For every obnoxious (and conveniently anonymous) comment I get on MSN Money, I also get feedback like "I'm out of debt because of you" or "I'm back in school because of you."
Knowing that I've inspired people to change their lives is something I wouldn't trade for a 9-to-5 with a dental plan.
Living a freelance life lets me spend time with the people I love. It lets me travel. It gives me the flexibility to, say, take a house-sitting job in New York City on the spur of the moment. (And if you know any Manhattan residents who need someone to feed Fluffy and water the plants, give 'em my e-mail address.)
I'm 52 years old – when am I going to allow myself the luxury of life's surprises if I don't do it now?

BYRON CENTER, MI (AP) — Police say there's no evidence of foul play in the death of a paratrooper from western Michigan who was found dead at a home near his base in North Carolina.
Officials at Fort Bragg say 37-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Griffey of Byron Center was found unresponsive Friday at an apartment in Fayetteville, NC.
Mlive.com reports that Fayetteville police Det. Michael Hardin says Griffey was found dead on the bathroom floor and says there's nothing to suggest he was the victim of a crime.
Hardin says police are awaiting toxicology results to try to learn what killed Griffey.
Griffey was part of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division. He enlisted in 1993 and served on two combat deployments, first in Iraq in 2003-2004 and then in Afghanistan in 2007.

Article date: 13 February 2009
Norwich Union, soon to be Aviva, is warning landlords to be extra vigilant when vetting tenants and inspecting their properties, with cases of residential cannabis farming continuing to rise.
During 2006/2007, there were 5,497 seizures of cannabis plants by police, an increase of 34% since 2005*. And in 2007, Norwich Union settled around 60 residential claims totalling over £1 millon. The damage can vary from holes made in the walls through to water damage or even to the property catching fire.
Mike Colmans, underwriting manager, property owners, Norwich Union: "With cannabis farming clearly on the rise, there is an increased risk for landlords and their properties. They may not be aware that if their property is damaged by tenants using it for the production of cannabis, they may not be covered if they haven't taken 'reasonable precautions' to prevent it happening."
There are some actions that landlords must take to ensure that this is done, according to Colmans: "Vetting the tenant is essential. As is carrying out extensive background checks, including checking bank details and references. Don't accept payment for rent in cash but, instead, insist it is paid through a bank.
"Landlords should be wary if a short-term let is requested, and sub-letting should be discouraged. Once the tenant is in the premises, carry out regular inspections, both externally and internally if possible.
"We would recommend employing a letting or managing agent to manage the tenant vetting process and provide the inspection service on the landlord's behalf. It is money well spent, as insurers could refuse a damage or fire claim if the landlord has neglected his responsibilities."
The main warning signs to look out for are:
- Cannabis plants are typically grown in individual pots throughout the property, with walls, ceilings and doors lined with plastic or polythene.
- Windows will normally have blinds or curtains closed to obscure any activity.
- Rather than having garden hoses plugged into a sink or basin, the plants are irrigated through pump spray guns, such as those used in a domestic garden.
- High powered lighting is installed in each room and the electricity has probably been tampered with to bypass the meter.
- A considerable amount of condensation is produced
- A pungent smell, which may be noticed through the walls of adjoining properties, but ducting and extractor fans are often installed and fed through the chimney or flue to prevent this.
The damage caused to a property due to a cannabis farm can be extensive. This could potentially include:
- Severe water damage due to the plant irrigation system.
- Holes made in walls to pass cables from one room to another.
- Fire damage due to the use of high-powered lighting and by-passing the electricity.
- Tenants deliberately starting a fire to cover tracks if there was the threat of a police raid.
Colmans continues: "Landlords need to be aware of these warning signs and take the necessary actions to make sure that a potential farm doesn't go unnoticed."

Letters, Friday, Nov. 9
Listen to the voters
To the editor:
The American people have spoken in no uncertain terms by bestowing President Obama with an overwhelming 332-206 victory in the Electoral College and a second term in the Oval Office. But will intransigent Republicans ever listen?
Members of the House of Representatives are elected in 435 tiny slivers of the country, and none of these representatives – none – is elected by an entire state. Yet at every turn, top leaders of the GOP (Growing Obsolete Party) saw their home states endorse the policies and path of President Obama.
Did you get teary-eyed, John Boehner, when Obama claimed Ohio once again? Does it matter, Eric Cantor, that Obama once more had the winning appeal in your Virginia? Were you paying attention, Paul Ryan, when Obama performed the Lambeau Leap right there in Wisconsin?
President Obama is showing the way to be a gracious winner. Must he deal with sore losers for another four years? By all means, Messrs. Boehner, Cantor and Ryan should represent their constituents. But first take a look within your own state's borders and discover the larger wishes of Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
That should be reason enough to compromise and not constantly obstruct. Here's what you are unable to do: You cannot overturn Roe vs. Wade, which is safe for another 40 years. You cannot overturn equal pay for women nor the Affordable Care Act that insures millions of Americans. And most importantly, you cannot win on any stage larger than your precious, tiny sliver.
Bob Kearney
Bridge is extravagant
To the editor:
Sometimes we do things just to make people feel better.
We taxpayers built a bridge on Lake Logan Road that is big enough to hold up the world and it will be used by the farmers to transport a variety of produce, mostly tomatoes.
We built a bridge that was not needed with money we do not have. I wonder why we are broke?
Henry Warren
Thanks for voting; more should have
To the editor:
Having been viewing our television for the current election status for more than four hours, I suddenly realized that my action is totally stupid. There is no way that any effort I make will change the outcome.
My true and sincere message to the readers is to thank them for casting their votes, however they expressed their desires, and to please realize that the citizens of the great United States of America have the right and opportunity to express themselves in this way.
Unfortunately, only about 24 percent of our "eligible" populace even "bothers" to vote. To me, this is truly disgraceful.
To the readers, please know that I do not mean to be judgmental, but am only trying to remind our citizens, especially, our youth, to please try to grasp, and to understand how fortunate we are to be citizens of the United States of America! God Bless America.

Little Bear: 42, 995 acres, 60%contained
The Little Bear fire caused the closure of State Highway 48 near Alto, June 9. Mark Wilson Photo
Firefighters continued successful burnout operations along the west side of the Little Bear fire, which as of Thursday had consumed 42,995 acres and was 60 percent contained.
Rico Smith, fire information officer, said firefighters throughout the week have removed a significant portion of the unburned fuel that existed on the west side, the most active area of the fire. "We're taking unburned fuel and doing back-burning toward the head of the fire to basically take away the fuel for containment. So we've made really great progress throughout the week.
"… And the only area right now where we're working on containing is on that west side. So we want to complete this burnout operation, and that will raise the containment [auth] figures up considerably. They expect to complete the burnout operation (Thursday), and that containment figure will go up."
Smith said Thursday morning brought 52 percent humidity and mild winds from the south and southwest, which has helped suppression efforts.
"Basically, the wind is blowing toward the fire itself, so as we conduct that burnout operation, we're taking that fire right to the head of the main fire.
"… And we have more moisture in the air, higher humidity and lower temperatures, so that's going to slow the spread of the fire. It's going to continue to creep, but it's going to do it at a much slower rate. So we really have good conditions for the firefighters."
Smith said the reason the size of the Little Bear fire has increased by a few thousand acres this week is due largely to the burnout operations throughout the week.
On the north, south and east sides of the fire, crews continued mop-up, patrol and rehabilitation Thursday, and were also interacting with the public as many return to their property or homes, Smith said.
The Little Bear fire is responsible for the destruction of 242 residential and commercial structures and 12 outbuildings, with damages estimated at more than $22 million.
Dan Ware, New Mexico Forestry Division spokesman, said that while the large loss of property is tragic, the figures should not overshadow all those who worked to ensure that residents were safe. "I think the bigger picture here is that nobody lost their life in this, and there were no serious injuries. So if there's anything good that can be taken from this, it's that.
"I think it's a real testament to the folks who live in that area being prepared to evacuate when necessary. A lot of credit goes to them for the orderly fashion of the evacuation that took place, and a lot of credit goes to local law enforcement for helping facilitate that evacuation and making sure it ran smoothly and safely.
"I think a lot of times, when you have a fire like this — or any time you have a wildfire — local law enforcement sometimes gets overlooked when it comes time to thank those who participated. We can't say enough about the job that not just the firefighters do, but all the other emergency response personnel."

Late Buying Stems Stock Losses
With Wall Street expecting the worst quarterly earnings season in more than two years, the stock market seems to be girding for a long cold winter.
Monday was no different with investors again dumping equities amid a blizzard of new profit warnings and negative analyst comments about the slowing economy's impact on corporate bottom lines. But a spurt of late-session bargain hunting pulled all three major indexes well off their worst levels of the day.
The fourth quarter earnings reporting season kicks off unofficially next week. Earnings among companies that make up the Standard & Poor's 500 index are expected to grow at an anemic 4.1% rate, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. In comparison, profits among the same companies surged 21.3% during the same period last year.
The market on Monday was able to trim its losses late in the session as some Old Economy names soaked up some of the money leaking out of the technology sector. And it's been the techs that have been bruised the most by worries about slackening profit, Larry Lawler, head of stock trading at Dreyfus Corp., told Standard & Poor's AdvisorInsight.
"If the economy slows down and doesn't pick up, who's going to go out and buy new computers?" Lawler said.
That question appeared to be much on the minds of investors in Dell Computer Corp (DELL ). The PC giant was off for most of the session after Bear Stearns trimmed its 2001 estimates, though it managed to close up 1/8 at 19-1/8.
Another heavily traded stock was data networking company Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO ), which shed 5/64 to 36-35/64. The financial newsweekly Barron's said investors have embraced the notion that Cisco's prospects may be dimming with any number of the company's customers seriously ailing.
Also in trouble was application software maker BEA Systems (BEAS ), which fell 7-3/16 to 46-7/16 after Prudential Securities cut its price target, citing concerns about the stock's price given a softening in software spending.
"It's just a continuation of last year," said Larry Rice, chief investment officer at Josephthal Lyon & Ross. "It's just one preannouncement after another or just one downgrade after another."
Tech stocks were also dragging on the Dow Jones industrial average. But bigger losses were stanched by Alcoa Inc. (AA ), the world's largest aluminum producer, which was up 3/8 at 33-1/2.
Alcoa, a component of the Dow Jones industrial average, gained after reporting a higher-than-expected 17 percent rise in earnings. In general, money flowed to Old Economy companies such as cigarette maker Philip Morris (MO ), softdrink giant Coca-Cola Co. (KO ) and consumer products behemoth Procter & Gamble Co. (PG ).
Among some of the profit warnings, software company New Era of Networks Inc. (NEON ) fell 2-13/32 to 3-3/32 after saying it sees posting a loss and will book a restructuring charge for the quarter.
Stocks have been wobbly despite a surprise half percentage point cut in interest rates last week by the Federal Reserve.
Dreyfus's Lawler said by lowering rates, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan is saying there is a problem with the economy.
"You don't correct the economy because you decide to lower interest rates," Lawler said. "You might help it, but you're not going to correct it."
But Wayne Angell of Bear Stearns said his firm believes the Central Bank will cut interest rates by 25 basis points when it hold its next meeting Jan. 30-31. There is scant economic data due out this week until Friday, when the market will get a report on inflation at the wholesale level.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index closed down 11.32 points, or 0.47%, at 2,396.33. The Dow, meanwhile, was off 40.66 points, or 0.38%, to 10,621.35. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, a broad stocks gauge, eased 2.77 points, or 0.21%, at 1,295.58.
Treasury Market
U.S. Treasuries finished lower as stocks trimmed their losses by the end of the session. There is little economic data to guide the fixed income market before Friday's release of the Producer Price Index (PPI), a key gauge of inflation at the wholesale level.
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Jack Guynn told newswires that he expects a more moderate pace of growth of about 3% in 2001 and says the outlook is still "very good," although comparisons to last year will be disappointing. But he said the Fed's rate cut should help the economy "stay on its feet." Guynn is not a member of the Fed's rate setting committee.
Stocks in the News
Semiconductor maker Fairchild Semiconductor (FCS ) sees first quarter sales about 5%-8% below expected fourth quarter range of $468 million to $470 million. The company continues to sees short term inventory correction but revenues are expected to rebound slowly in the second quarter.
Spanish language radio station operator Hispanic Broadcasting (HSP ) sees lower than expected fourth quarter revenues of about $60 million, noting increase in promotion and marketing expense and operating losses from Internet division.
AMR Corp. (AMR ), parent of American Airlines, is close to a deal to acquire TWA, and has agreed to purchase significant assets from US AIRWAYS: WSJ.
Media company The New York Times (NYT ) is to cut 17% of its workforce at its Internet unit.
World Markets
European markets closed mixed. The London Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index was off 48.50 points, or 0.78%, at 6,149.60 amid uncertainty about Bank of England rate policy and U.S. markets. In Germany, the DAX Index was up 9.86 points, or 0.15%, to 6,392.17 as German industrial production rose 0.4% in November and a survey showed EuroZone business climate improved. Meanwhile, France's CAC 40 was off 25.22 points, or 0.44%, at 5,732.80.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 Index was closed for Coming-of-Age day. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 11.08 points, or 0.07%, to 15,436.53.

A Rotorua man who threatened to kill a police officer's children and rape his wife has been jailed for eight months.
Samuel Rota, 38, was sentenced in Rotorua District Court yesterday after previously pleading guilty to one charge of threatening to kill, two charges of theft and one charge of disorderly behaviour.
Judge Jocelyn Munro said all the charges stemmed from an incident on February 20 this year.
She said Rota, who had been drinking heavily, stole a postcard from a souvenir shop then went to another shop and stole a T-shirt. He was approached by staff and became abusive. Police were called and Rota was taken to the police station.
There Rota made "serious and significant" threats to a police officer that went well beyond the usual "abusive comments" police regularly had to deal with, she said.
Rota told the officer he would recognise him by his tattoo, threatened to "blow his head off" and reminded the officer he was a "patched mobster".
"You said... you would shoot him and his children and that you would rape his wife," she said. "The police officer was understandably concerned about those threats."
The judge said in his victim impact statement the officer described how Rota "looked him dead in the eye" when he made the threats and repeated them three hours later when the officer went off duty.
In court, Rota told the judge he wished to apologise to the police officer. He said he was intoxicated, and didn't mean the threats.

The Dude Ranch Years, 1931-1960.
William McGee was a wrangler at the Flying ME dude ranch in Franktown for several years from 1947 on. His book, The Divorce Seekers, written in 2004 gives a fun account of ranch life, the divorcees, Washoe Valley, Virginia City and Lake Tahoe in the post-war 1940's. Along with the divorcees were wealthy socialites and others such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Clark Gable who found the valley, its ranches and inhabitants endearing. Famous (at the time) Washoe Valley residents were Gus Bundy, artist and photographer, and Will James "cowboy artist" and writer. The book has many photos of life around the area in the 1940's and is available at local bookstores.
In 1931, Nevada reduced the residency requirement for divorces to 6 weeks and the grounds to "mental cruelty" which covered everything. This made Nevada the "Go To" place for divorce. A woman who wished to avoid the embarrassment of getting a divorce in her home town could be fairly incognito in sparsely populated Nevada. Thus, this route was popular with many women from prominent families. Many made the choice to stay in Reno for their 6 weeks at hotel/casinos like the Mapes and tough it out in the distractions of Reno nightlife. Others, who could take a lemon and make lemonade, stayed outside of town in a dude ranch and made a vacation out of it. This provided quite a business for many years and there were dude ranches throughout the area, mainly in Verdi, Pyramid Lake and especially south Reno and Washoe Valley. McGee recalls entertaining the guests with trail rides around Washoe Lake, to Virginia City via Jumbo Grade and up through Little Valley to Marlette Lake. A favorite outing involved taking a pickup full of women in the back to the present location of New Washoe City and racing through the sagebrush while the ladies took potshots at jackrabbits with a .22 rifle. He relates that the hares were never in much danger. Other outings involved bar hopping in either Virginia City or Carson City. These outings were accomplished in the ranch's 1948 Chrysler convertible- the model that was covered with real wood trim on the body. Other activities involved lounging at the pool, photography and making new friends. The book covers alot of the goings on around the area and is a fun read.

Today we celebrate the birth of America. The great experiment started 235 years ago.
Here are some fireworks from New York City a few years back. I will tell you, New York's maybe larger. But Washington, DC's are better. Sorry New York, just the truth.
I don't go into DC anymore. I can actually sit on my back porch and watch fireworks. No traffic and I can have my jammies on if I want. The show is smaller, but you can't beat the commute.

What, did I scare everyone away with that response?
As I posted in another thread, I stopped by the local big bodyshop supply today and talked to them about it, explained the situation (race car/project car that will probably not see a real paint job for 2 or more years), and they actually gave me EXACTLY the same advice that they gave me so many years ago, Use an etching primer, over bare metal, over body work, once it bonds itself down it will seal it up and you dont have to worry about rust. They even recommended the same brand of stuff as they did years ago (dont remember what it was but its the stuff thats sort of olive colored).
I told him that and got a bunch of very surprised looks. No mater what I didnt think that old school etching primer was a good idea over body work and mentioned epoxy They didnt seem happy with that thought at all.
I finally asked about well, what about just mixing up a minimum amount of whatever the cheapest top coat you stock is in a matching color and using that? What would that run? I couldnt tell you without a paint color. I was prepared its a 1987 GM 74 flame red metallic and even had some paint chips stuck to some packing tape I my wallet since GM used that paint code for half a dozen other reds since then and they were all totally different and Ive been having problems finding any touch up paint at all for it.
For the smallest amount (for the life of me I dont remember if it was a pint or a quart now) of acrylic enamel, reducer and hardener it was going to be $67. Now if I was doing a full, real paint job then fine, actually that would be a GREAT price to do the whole car, even 2x that would be OK (its still single stage and enamel, if I was doing it for real Id probably be using BC/CC), but for just something to cover up/protect some body work and make it look presentable from 50 away thats hard to swallow.
Especially since its basically the same technology as the rustoleum that I can get for $7.xx/quart. I actually stopped at the hardware store on the way home and found that rustoleums normal and pro enamel comes in a regal red that the paint chip is a dead ringer for my paint chips (and Im sure would blend well enough to look good 50 away) in gallons, quarts and half pints, oh and spray cans (would probably use one of my hvlp guns to spray it down)
Common guys there has to be a better answer to this out there. Im really trying to avoid perpetuating the car painted with rustoleum thing.

The human brain undergoes substantial growth and development during the first two years of life. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) during this window is a leading cause of death and disability, and can cause profound alterations of the brain including cognitive dysfunction, attention deficit, hyperactivity and impairment in emotional regulation and judgment. There currently are no effective treatments for TBI other than supportive care, and relatively little research focuses on pediatric TBI compared to other problems of comparable importance. To better understand how infant TBI leads to these behavioral changes, this research project will develop and characterize a clinically relevant mouse model.

Marist Alumis make difference through micro-lending
The concept of micro-lending is a relatively new one. It was developed by banker and economist Muhammad Yunus in the late 1970s when he realized that small loans to people who do not qualify for regular bank loans make a disproportionate difference. Yunus developed the idea until it eventually grew into Grameen Bank and a Nobel Peace Prize. Today, Kiva.org has taken this idea and, using the internet, is crowdsourcing the lending of money to a tune of $350 million dollars since 2005. Through a group on Kiva.org, members of the Marist community are helping people better their lives by helping them grow their small businesses.
With the increased ability to directly connect with borrowers around the world, more and more people are lending to small business owners in need of loans. When Kiva added a team feature as a beta feature in 2008, Chris Buccella, a Marist alum, started the Marist team. Buccella read an article about Kiva in BusinessWeek and became a lender. Having graduated from Marist with degrees in economics and IT, an internet microfinance platform was a natural fit for Buccella.
According to Buccella, the team is small and informal as of right now. They are focusing efforts on men and women in Eastern Europe, with many of the loans being focused on the agricultural sector.
"Members lend to entrepreneurs based upon their own preferences, loan recipients occasionally post updates via the website," Buccella said. "Personally, I have met two borrowers, and have also visited one of the cities in Peru where I have made loans."
Another recent Marist graduate, Tim Feltman, is also part of the team. He got his start after initially being interested in micro-financing. After watching a video of Bill Clinton explaining the idea behind Kiva, he made his first loan to the organization.
"After that first loan I started loaning more money," Feltman said. "I loan because of the impact it does. It not only helps individuals economically, it helps empower individuals to better their lives," says Feltman.
When asked about any particular success stories that stand out to him, Feltman mentioned a woman he met in México.
"There was this one woman who was able to start a grocery store in her house with a micro loan even though her husband was against doing this," Feltman said. "She took out another micro loan to expand her business. Her husband lost his job so he ended up helping with the small business his wife started. Not only did the funds help the small business she created, it helped her to become more independent."
This is the heart of Kiva's mission. Kiva describes itself as a nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.
According to Feltman, this idea seems to be working.
"I have seen the impact that micro loans do to empower and help individuals reach the first rung of the economic ladder," he said.
As of Sept. 14, the Marist team has loaned a total of $11,750. Buccella proudly mentioned that the Marist team is beating the Sienna lending team by a lot.
Joining the Marist team is free and very simple. Interested parties should search for "Marist" on the Kiva website and click the "Join Team" button in the communities section.
For more information and stories, check out the Kiva's website at Kiva.org. There is also a great TED talk by Jessica Jackley, co-founder of Kiva about the inspiration behind it all, and Bill Clinton's interview, in which he explains Kiva.

Located atop Mount St. James in Worcester, Massachusetts, the 174-acre Holy Cross campus is home to several beautiful places of worship and spaces where students can actively explore issues of faith and spirituality.
The College has three chapels where worship services and special events are open to the public.
The stately St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (upper chapel) seats up to 900 people and houses the Taylor and Boody pipe organ.
The recently renovated Mary Chapel and smaller McCooey Chapel are both located on the lower level of St. Joseph Memorial Chapel.
Worship services are celebrated in the College chapels when the College is in session, and are open to members of the Worcester community. This includes four weekend Masses, a Sunday Inter-Denominational Service of Praise and Worship, holy day liturgies, weekday Masses and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
During Advent in early December, a "Festival of Lessons and Carols" service is held in St. Joseph Memorial Chapel. At the end of Lent, the College celebrates Palm Sunday and the Paschal Triduum in the College chapels.
Campion House
Campion House accommodates the offices of the chaplains and provides spacious, comfortable and living and dining spaces. Campion House is a wonderful place to study, dine, meet other students, or just hang out. Campion is equipped with wireless internet service.
It is named for St. Edmund Campion, an Irish man who rejected a high position in the Church of England to join the Jesuits. He was ultimately tried and martyred by Queen Elizabeth for his writings against the Church of England.
Over the years, Campion House has changed in its function on campus. Constructed in the early 1900s, Campion originally served as a residence hall for those Holy Cross employees who worked on the farm. It eventually shifted to a student residence hall and, in 1971, to a chaplain and Jesuit residence. The first floor of the building was available for meetings and quiet study and, for many years, was the one study space open all night. The upstairs remained a living space for Jesuit chaplains.
In 1989, the house changed again to serve as the residence for seven Jesuits engaged in pastoral work on campus. When the construction of Smith Hall began in the spring of 2000, Campion House was temporarily converted into the Chaplains' Office so that Admissions could move into the Chaplains' Office suite in the Hogan Campus Center. This temporary arrangement proved so satisfactory that Campion became the permanent home of the Chaplains' Office and Campus Ministry Center.
Ciampi Hall (Jesuit Community)
Ciampi Hall is the Jesuit residence. It opened on March 25, 1991, which was also the 500th anniversary of the birth of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. It is named for Anthony F. Ciampi who served as president of the College of the Holy Cross three separate terms (1851-1854, 1857-1861, and 1869-1873). Like many of its buildings named for Jesuits, Holy Cross honors Ciampi's memory with this hall because he kept Holy Cross open after a destructive fire in 1852 threatened to close the college.

The battle against the Flat Fire in Trinity County continued today, as fire crews lit low-intensity burnouts along ridgetop firelines in efforts to contain the blaze.
As of noon today, the fire has burned about 1,556 acres and is 50 percent contained, according to reports posted online by fire officials.
Motorists along State Route 299 today continued to expect delays of up to 30 minutes under one-way controlled traffic under the direction of a pilot car due to rolling rocks and burning debris, according to reports posted by fire officials and Caltrans.
Fire officials reported today that 630 personnel are battling the blaze, which is about 73 miles east of Eureka. Structure protection continues, but so far none have been reported damaged.
A firefighter was treated and released after an allergic reaction to a bee sting, according to fire officials.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but Jim Mackensen, a Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department captain and spokesman for the incident, confirmed Friday that it is human-caused.
Reports posted by fire officials estimate that the fire will be contained by midnight Wednesday.

Thousands of Bulgarians who have staged daily rallies calling for the prime minister's resignation have now begun calling for the impeachment of President Rosen Plevneliev.
Protesters who have held anti-government protests every day since mid-June have launched a petition demanding Plevneliev's impeachment.
On Friday, Bulgaria's biggest nationalist party, Ataka, a key group in the current parliament, also demanded that the president is removed from office after he called for snap general elections.
"We are shocked by the unconstitutional behaviour of that person who plays the role of a president. His statement showed he is politically biased," said Ataka party leader Volen Siderov.
Earlier in the day Plevneliev had suggested that new polls were the only way out of the political turbulence that has gripped the EU state.
"Early parliamentary elections are the only democratic solution to the crisis we are in. To tell people that new early elections are a dangerous scenario is to tell them that democracy is dangerous," Plevneliev during an address to the nation about the tense situation in the country.
He warned that although the protests have been peaceful so far, there had been "attempts to artificially provoke ethnic conflicts".
"This means playing with fire and the consequences could be disastrous. Haven't we learned anything from our neighbours? I firmly condemn those provocations," he said.
Public discontent erupted after the appointment of a controversial media mogul, Delyan Peevski, as chair of the State Agency for National Security.
The protesters were not appeased by the subsequent cancellation of the decision and went on to demand the resignation of the Socialist-led cabinet of Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski over alleged ties to oligarchs.
The demonstrations started just months after protests forced out the previous government in February.
Plevneliev said that the solution to the crisis was not "revolution, but right steps in the right direction".
He said that the situation was damaging investments but that the economy remained stable.
Bulgaria's embattled Socialist-backed government has repeatedly denied speculation that it is considering resigning over the protests.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love the simplicity and the colors - I think you did a fabulous job. Can't wait to see more.
Since you said the rugs inspired your quilts I assume you designed them. They are beautiful! Though I don't live in the southwest my home is decorated in that style. I have a couple Navajo rugs on my walls and I would love to do a quilt in the style of yours. Again they are beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous quilt. Great Job and the colors our wonderful.
I just commented on the first quilt and have to ditto what I said. Beautiful quilt and interpretation. Love it!
very nice
Love what you have done. I'm in Arizona and was trying to find patterns for southwest wallhanging. Where did you find the patterns?
That is one beautiful quilt. I love the colors & intensity of the quilt.
Both are gorgeous - perfect designs and colors.
Oh this is wonderful! So glad that you shared photos and also that you had so much fun creating them. Look forward to seeing other projects that you create. Thanks for sharing.
