Alaska honors its veterans and Alaskans have served our country with pride and distinction since Territorial days.
But did you know that Alaska has the most female veterans per capita of any state in the nation?
Alaska's 8,500-plus women veterans comprise 11 percent of the state's veterans.
On Thursday in Juneau, the governor, the Rasmuson Foundation and legislators honored Alaska's women veterans at the State Capitol.
The ceremony coincided with the establishment of the Women Veterans Fund, which the foundation endowed with a half-million dollars in honor of 20-year U.S. Army veteran Mary Louise Rasmuson, the fifth director of the Women's Army Corps and a board member of the Rasmuson Foundation.
The fund will provide support to address what Gov. Sean Parnell, while noting that "heroism knows no gender," described as the "unique challenges that women veterans face." Among them are the guilt women feel when they leave their families to serve, military sexual trauma, and a lack of some veterans services for women, according to information from the Alaska Senate Majority.
We know that our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers serve our country in many ways. We are glad to join with other Alaskans in honoring the women who serve, and striving to make sure we take care of them properly when they come home.

January 28−February 21, 2010
The University Art Museum, CSULB is pleased to premiere the West Coast screening of The Celestial Spheres, a video by New York based artist Timothy Hutchings. Hutchings works in a variety of media including video, sculpture and works on paper. He has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including P.S.1/MOMA, the New Museum in New York City, the Centro de Arte de Salamanca and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo in Spain, and the Borusan Cultural Center in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Celestial Spheres incorporates a palette of shapes and colors that are reminiscent of the work of Oskar Fischinger and other experimental animators. The video uses overly simplified imagery and colors that allows the viewer freedom to interpret the work in many different ways. Orb–like entities interact in trance–like rhythmic motion, suggesting they are animate and in communion with each other. Obscure noises provide a soundtrack that also assists in abstracting the narrative, and delaying or impeding a complete comprehension of the work.
It is Hutchings' desire to tease the viewers' imagination by layering and playing with recurring shapes and their movements, as opposed to forcing an unfolding narrative. Although the scenes appear unscripted with no defined beginning or end, the viewer is invited to reach his/her own conclusion in what Hutchings describes as an "ah-ha" moment. Others may never make the connection to the artist's true source material, which he feels is not imperative to interpreting the work.

RL: U should see me, naked with only white cotton G-string.DB: Love the sound of that cotton just *** *** getting more*** and your *** all nice *** ***.And they say the age of romance is over.
Okay, it's not quite Robert Browning telling Elizabeth Barrett Browning she is a "gorgeous bird" united in "the beauties of form, plumage, and song."
But the infamous text messages allegedly exchanged between David Beckham and his scorned assistant, Rebecca Loos, are proof that whether you give us a quill or a keypad, we're going to use it to try to get laid.
Nudie pictures helped cameras catch on; porn got a start in film and went on to make video and then the Internet huge. Chat rooms are full of dirty talk and spicy e-mail has launched many an on-line affair. And just as our ancestors were fascinated with the amorous exchanges of Napoleon et al, whether it's overhearing Charles wanting to be Camilla's tampon or watching Pam's and Paris's home movies, the combination of technology, sex and celebrity is impossible to resist.
Now, text messaging (also known as Short Message Systems or SMS) has become the new phone sex, with the British press weighing in about the ethics of "having a textie" and readers all over the world trying to fill in the media-imposed asterisks.
As a Luddite e-mailer, I find text messaging a bit tiresome. It's hard to build passion when it takes you 10 minutes to peck out "U R hot" on a cellphone keypad. Its many converts insist it gets easier; in fact, it can become addictive.
But is it cheating? "Texting is the modern way to flirt and if you ask most men, it's totally harmless," Martin Daubney, editor of British men's magazine Loaded, was widely quoted as saying. "Women believe men are unfaithful if they think about being unfaithful. Most men only think the actual sex act is full-blown unfaithful. All the rest is just a laugh.
"That's why we can be shameless text flirters. And the reason we're much more prepared to text than speak is that it's loads easier."
So user beware: For many people, "sext messaging" has a disinhibiting effect, like having a couple of cocktails.
Long popular in Europe and Asia as a cheaper alternative to land lines and cellphone airtime, texting is also changing the way we relate to the opposite sex. In England, it's being used as a medium for setting up anonymous sexual encounters. In Australia, text messaging is the medium of choice for young people, who use their phones more often to type than to speak. And in India, texting is being blamed for promoting "Western-style dating."
Toronto's Mike Prentice, a 31-year-old masters student in anthropology and Asia/Pacific studies, got into text messaging while living in Indonesia a few years ago. He says the medium emboldened his normally conservative house mates. "They got braver when text messaging, and said things they definitely wouldn't say in person to each other. It was never overly racy, but for a woman to text-message something like 'I had a sex dream about you' was pretty ballsy."
Text messaging lends itself to sexy communication because it's candid, says Grace Belmonte, director of marketing for Nokia Canada. With a limited number of characters allowed on the tiny cellphone screen, messages need to be short, encouraging abbreviations and "emoticons," punctuation marks used to convey expression, like the smiley faces used in e-mail.
People also like it because they see it as discreet. "If you're in a meeting and you don't want to interrupt it to tell someone something, you can text-message it and no one is the wiser," Belmonte says.
But the feeling of security can be misleading, as the Beckham case indicates. Some phones will store many messages, which can be accessed later by others. That's why Ken Truffen, director of wireless data marketing for Bell Mobility, says text messagers should lock their phones when not using them.
A survey last year by an Italian company found that in almost nine out of 10 investigations, extramarital affairs were betrayed by mobile phones. Undeleted text messages and inexplicable phone records were the reason 87 per cent of affairs were discovered, Miriam Ponzi, president of Tom Ponzi Investigations, told Australia's Sun-Herald newspaper.Report Typo/Error

Review by Maria A. Cortes
What comes to mind when you hear about a new movie by Tim Burton? It must be something dark, and twisted, and with Johnny Depp in it. Without the latter, but – undoubtedly dark and twisted – again, as many other Burton's movies, Frankenweenie was released to the judgment of the youngest Somerville residents last Friday at the Somerville Theatre.
Victor (Charlie Tahan) is a young boy, who lives with his parents in a quiet neighborhood of New Holland. He is profoundly interested in science and spends all the time alone experimenting and making short movies. His only friend is his beloved dog, Sparky. Trying to help Victor to find some friends, his father (Martin Short) suggests that Victor plays baseball with his classmates. The very first game ends up tragically: Sparky is struck by a car. Victor is heart-broken. Using his scientific knowledge, he attempts to bring Sparky back to life and…succeeds! But, would Victor's life be the same when the neighbors find out that Sparky is brought back from the dead?
Tim Burton isn't afraid of a challenge. Two years of scrupulous work with over two hundred puppets used resulted in a black-and-white horror comedy that is also the first stop-motion film made in 3-D. Sounds impressive. The question is: Was it worth it? On the one hand, the puppets are truly incredible! Wide-eyed, strangely disproportional, and fragile, they are Burton's reply to a modern age computer animation. Sparky, Victor's beloved pet, would make everyone fall in love with him at the first waggle of his tail. On the other hand, it feels that we really are spoiled by Pixar's grand masterpieces. Burton's black-and-white film seems boring, in slow motion, odd, and the puppets are simply creepy.
Neither vivid editing, nor Victor's tender attachment to Sparky (that would definitely cause some tears by the end), can revitalize Frankenweenie. It would appear that Burton, who always paid a substantial attention to the visual part of creating a movie, over-focused himself on it in his latest works. Just as in DarkShadows earlier this year, the no-intrigue story in Frankenweenie drags itself so slowly that the audience can easily take several big yawns in between of the notable moments.
Kids were happy to chew on their popcorn, were laughing at the moments when adults would not, and got very emotional "when the doggy died" at the premiere showing. But, as the credits rolled, the boy at the last row whispered to his mom in an expected-a bit-more tone: "It was OK." If you are a parent, take your kid to see Frankenweenie and make it a nice start of a Halloween season. If you are a Burton's fan you'll like it anyway. But, if you appreciate a good story, look somewhere else.
Frankenweenie: directed by Tim Burton. With the voices of: Charlie Tahan, Catherine O'Hara, Wynona Rider, Martin Short, and Christopher Lee. Rated PG. Shows at the Somerville Theater (55 Davis Sq, Somerville, MA 02144). For information about tickets, please visit somervilletheatreonline.com.

WATCH: Video of stowaway jumping out of wheel well
The state Department of Transportation on Tuesday released security video from Kahului Airport that showed a California teenage stowaway dropping down from a Hawaiian Airlines jet's wheel well after surviving a more than 5-hour flight.
The video, shot on April 20, showed the plane sitting at an airport gate when the boys legs appear from under the plane and he falls to the ground. He is then seen wandering aimlessly around the plane until airport workers notice him.

Just recently received my order with Osteomove. I have been on it for 2 days and have felt results. Started taking just yesterday, September 03/2011. 2 caps of Osteomove in the morning with 1-2 Bromelain capsules from Natural Factors at meal time and 4oz of Black cherry juice 1x a day seems to be working in helping me keep my gout in check. Prior to Osteomove I was taking Celadrin. I had mixed results while on Celadrin. Better results with Osteomove. Will definitely re-order.

June 6-9 brought KDHX's annual Twangfest, an event that covers a multitude of musical styles in its celebration of all things twangy. We checked in with Chris Bay, member of the Twang Gang and interactive Web publisher at KDHX, to learn more about the St. Louis festival and how this year's event went.
How did the idea for Twangfest come about?
Twangfest was started in the mid-'90s by a group of friends that participated in an alt-country internet message board named "Postcard 2," which was an offshoot of the similarly-themed "Postcard" message board (named after the Uncle Tupelo song of the same name). Most of these folks were spread out across the country, with many in the Midwest, and the idea at the time was simply to get a group of bands together in a somewhat central location to throw a big party that celebrated the music they loved.
How long has Twangfest been going on?
Twangfest has been running continuously since 1997. We just wrapped up our 16th annual event.
Why focus on Americana?
Because that's what we love. The roots of the event were in the aforementioned Postcard 2 message board that sprouted out of the alt-country/No Depression movement of the '90s and early '00s. The event has always been centered on Americana, however, we also branch out into pop, rock and soul. Detroit Cobras, Kelly Hogan, Steve Wynn And The Miracle 3 and Wussy have all performed at Twangfest. It's hard to describe exactly what constitutes a Twangfest-compatible artist, but every member of the committee has a clear idea of what the event represents and who will fit. This year, we hosted Pokey LaFarge And The South City Three, Wussy, Langhorne Slim and John Doe on separate nights. Those four bands on the same bill would've been schizophrenic at best, but with focused billing, we were able to pull off four incredible nights of music that each had a very different feel.
How many artists play each year?
Fourteen to sixteen, typically.
Does St. Louis have a strong local scene, and does that play into who is chosen for the final lineup?
The St. Louis music scene is very healthy, and there are a lot of great bands here that fall under the Twangfest umbrella. We typically book three or four locals each year—with repeat performances by locals being rare—and we never have a shortage of locals to choose from.
The local scene doesn't have much of an effect on the lineup, per se. The lineup is built out of the interests of Twangfest's volunteer board of directors, dubbed the Twang Gang, and we add locals to the front of nearly every bill based on who else is playing that night.
What is the relationship between Twangfest and KDHX?
Twangfest began independent of KDHX. It has and always will be a grassroots, non-profit, volunteer-driven event. KDHX came on as a partner in 2006, after Twangfest 10. Nico Leone had recently become co-executive director at KDHX with the mission of increasing community involvement at the station, and he saw Twangfest as a unique entity whose mission very closely aligned with that of KDHX. So he approached the Twang Gang about folding Twangfest into KDHX as a way to benefit both. Twangfest benefits by having promotional, administrative and other responsibilities shared with KDHX. KDHX benefits by being a part of a unique event that draws in passionate music fans, and which has a well formed brand that fits well with the identity of KDHX.
The Twang Gang operates and makes most decisions about the operation of the event essentially independently from KDHX. It's impossible to draw a line between the two, however. Of the Twang Gang's seven current members, four are directly involved with KDHX. All of these four, including myself, are KDHX DJs, while three are KDHX employees and one is a member of KDHX's board of directors.
How did this year go?
This year went extremely well. Two nights sold out in advance and saw packed, enthusiastic crowds. We had entirely positive feedback from artists and fans alike. Two of the bands performing in St. Louis for the first time, Humming House and Kasey Anderson And The Honkies, each made a big splash and won over loads of new fans. And John Doe, who is a personal favorite of many on the Twang Gang and who we've been trying to book for years, closed out the event. And we were able to bring in two veteran artists, Kelly Hogan and Wussy, which again are favorites of ours but very rarely perform in St. Louis. So that was a real treat.
Was this year's Twangfest different from past years?
The one major difference between this year and years past was that two of the nights saw predominantly younger bands on the bill. Twangfest has always featured both veteran and younger artists, but in the last few years, the focus has tended to be on veteran performers. This mainly has to do with the taste of the organizers and of the event's fans, many of which have been attending the event since the beginning or close to it. I handled a small portion of the booking last year, but this year I booked the entire event, and having a better balance between young and old was a high priority for me.
I'm not quite 30 years old, but I'm below the average age of Twangfest attendees. I go to a ton of shows, however, including a lot of Americana and roots shows, and I know that there are younger fans out there that Twangfest would appeal to and who can be the next generation of loyal attendees. And as much as I love Robbie Fulks or Jason And The Scorchers, those artists aren't on the radar of most younger fans of Americana. That's no fault of those artists or of those fans. It's simply a matter of how people are exposed to and consume music.

Turning to a potent mix of veteran returnees and a large class of incoming freshmen, the 2007 Wolverines look to make their 10th trip to the NCAA Tournament in 11 years. Graduate-senior Lindsey Cottrell, a 2006 All-Big Ten second-team member, and senior Sarah Banco return to captain the Wolverines for the second-straight season. Senior Melissa Dobbyn will continue lead the offense offense, carrying 25 career goals into the 2007 campaign.
Nine new players will find their way to Ann Arbor for the 2007 season. Brittany Boeckel, Amanda Bowery, Jackie Carron, Stephanie Crawford, Lyndsay DeCarolis, Jill Ferree, Allison Herbert, Kristen Keane, Sarah Morgan and Caroline Zambricki make up the latest group to don the block `M'. The incoming class was tabbed No. 4 in the Great Lakes Region and third-best in the Big Ten Conference.
Head Coach Debbie Rademacher begins her 14th season at the helm of the U-M women's soccer program. The lone head coach in program history, she has posted a 157-99-31 record in 13 seasons at Michigan, including a 63-40-16 record in Big Ten play with two Big Ten Championships. Assistant Coach Dan Dalzochio, entering his sixth season, will be joined by former Wolverine standout Abby Crumpton on Rademacher's staff.
With the departure of several midfielders including Kaitlin Spencer, Michigan will have a retooled midfield for 2007. Junior Danelle Underwood returns from a season-ending knee injury and will look to get back to her first-year form when scored five times and was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team in 2005. Junior Kristin Thomas was voted the team's Most Improved Player in 2006 and worked her way into the starting lineup for the NCAA Tournament. Sophomore Kylie Neschke was in the Wolverine lineup down the stretch and can provide a punch from midfield. Redshirt freshman Niki Moran and Feree, a true freshman, have an opportunity to establish a spot in the lineup heading into the season.

NO. 91 SIX CENTS PER COPY WINONA, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1954 EIOHTEIN PAOIS Levander May Run for Attorney General If Burnquist Decides on Senate Race By JACK B.

Burnquist decides to run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Sen. Humphrey, the Associated 'Press learned today. Levander is a former Republican state chairman and can get the support of the regular Republicans, in the Republican party. Heavy pressure has been exerted on Val Bjornson, state treasurer, to give up that spot and become Sen. Humphrey's opponent, but it was reported that he has resisted thus far. The situation is expected to be clarified next week when Goy. Anderson plans to announce his political intentions.

Making little use of the ice plo attached to the prow of the boat the Fern passed through Lock Dam 8 at Genoa at 11 a.m. Mon day and through Lock Dam 6 a Trempealeau at a.m. today. The existing record for early ar rival of the first boat is exacth Woman Slain At Long Beach, Husband Held a week away. The previous record, March 16, was recorded in 1864, 1934, 1944, 1947 and 1953. And the Fern probably won't en- counter too much difficulty during the remainder of the trip to the Twin Cities. Reports from Lake City indicate that the ice on Lake Pepin was only about a foot thick a week ago and considered to be too thin to permit accurate testing of the thickness. There isn't much prospect for a reversal of the temperatures that would cause the Fern difficulty in the remainder of the trip. No advance notice of another up- stream boat has been received here. The Weather Bureau indicates that although it will be a little colder tonight, warmer tempera- tures can be expected Wednesday. A low of 28 is forecast locally to- night and Wednesday's readings will be around 44. It was 39 at close that he will seek re-election and this, of course, will lead to a determined effort to select the senatorial candidate who will gel an unofficial nod. The Republican party, under its constitution, is pro- hibited from endorsing a candidate before the primary election. Burnquist, who served as gover- nor for three terms and as attor- ney general since 1939, has an imposing record as a vote getter and is considered by old time political leaders to be the man who can outdistance anyone else in an open primary. Gov. Anderson refused to com- ment on a report- that former Gov. Harold E. Stassen may give up his post as Foreign Operations director and return to Minnesota to file for senator.

L.................April North Star April 23 March 2? By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON Every time I? there is one of the constantly re- curring McCarthy crises, this is about what President Eisenhower hears from certain "practical" po- litical advisers: "Mr. President, know how {922 you feel about the Republican wjjs party. We know you could have i "35 had the Democratic nomination!

He goes forth to battle and proudly returns with the scalp of a pink Army dentist." This was a reference to Dr. Irving Peress, New York dentist given an honorable discharge from the Army recently despite his re- fusal to answer questions on pos- sible Communist links asked him by Sen. McCarthy, chairman of the Senate Permanent Investigations Subcommittee. McCarthy is in New York today. Flanders noted McCarthy's ab- sence and said be wished McCarthy were here. Although McCarthy's activities have long been a point of contro-j versy within his party, it was one of the first instances in the Senate that a Republican has spoken out so strongly. Flanders, who calls himself a member of "liberal wing" of the Republican party, asked: "To what party does (McCarthy) belong? Is he a hidden satellite of the Democratic party to which he is furnishing so much material for quiet mirth? It does not seem that his Republican label can be stuck on very tightly, when by intention or through ignorance he is doing his best to shatter that party whose label he weans. He no longer claims or wants any support from the Com- munist fringe. What is his party af- Flanders said j found "much to praise and much to deplore in Mc- Carthyism." The praiseworthy part, he said, "is the vigorous and effective house cleaning which it displays."

This made a total of eight countries to throw their weight be- lifld the proposal. Cuba, Panama and Venezuela plumped for the "Dulles Doctrine" at today's session. Brazil, the Do- minican Republic, Paraguay, Hon- duras and Nicaragua indicated their approval Monday. Haiti also called for anti-Red action "not in conflict with the principle of non- ntervention." Panama suggested an amend- ment banning racial discrimination as a means of combatting inter- national Communism. The amend- ment was introduced by Mrs. Cecilia Remon, wife of Panaman- ian President Jose Antonio Remon. Underlining the importance President Eisenhower's govern- ment puts on the issue, Dullei canceled a speaking engagement in Philadelphia tomorrow to con- tinue his personal watch on the progress of his anti-Communist resolution. Discussion of it in the Political-Juridical Committee was expected to take several more days. The U. S. resolution would call for the 21 Americans republics to consult and act jointly against Communist seizure of power in any of the American states, just as they now are pledged to repel jointly invasion by a foreign ag- gressor. It would also provide for disclosure of identity, activities and sources of funds of persons spreading Communist propaganda or traveling in the interests of the Red cause. Mexico submitted an amend- ment to expand such joint action o all forms of totalitarian inter- in the Americas. Launching the committee de- >ate yesterday, Dulles answered Guatemala's demand that he de- "ine international Communism. He described it as "that far-flung clandestine political organization vhich is operated by the leaders jf the Communist party of the So- viet Union." He said one of its aims was to bring parts of the iVestern Hemisphere into its grip. Brazilian Foreign Minister Vic- ante Rao said he would prefer to peak of "Soviet interyentionism" than Communist penetra- tion. He warned that "inter-Ameri- an Ameri- an nation interfering with the af- airs of not be per- mitted to mask under the guise f anti-Communist action.

'to McCarthy. New Traffic Fine Box Saves Trip to Station NORMAN, Okla. (m Fuming drivers who wouldn't be caught less the police station to pay a parking fine have found salvation at last in the "Traf-o-teria." The little device, installed re- cently on all parking meters here as an experiment, turns potential nonpayers of parking tickets into law-abiding citizens. Indications are it's going over big with the paying customers. A motorist here receives a park- iflg ticket and an envelope. If he puts the ticket and 50 cents into :he envelope and places it in the Traf-o-teria, an aluminum box at- ;ached to the parking meter, the line is considered paid. Wait 48 hours and the ante goes up to Police Chief Albert Dodd thinks the pay-as-you-drive will be a bonanza in enforcement of.the city's traffic codes. "Used to reflected Dodd, "women were pretty reluctant to come to the station, and they'd give the tickets to their husbands, who chances are, would forget to pay them. Now the women pay better than men." Overtime parking fines collected in the boxes during the first month of "Operation Traf-o-teria" totaled Dodd said, a 135 per cent in- crease over the previous month's take. Conceding that a few nasty notes crop up along with the ticket en- velopes, chewing gum, match covers, and assorted loot when the collecting officers empty the box- es, the chief insisted that so far public reaction has been "auite favorable." ;

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company has only been around for a couple of months and has already changed their name from Accerated Marketing Solutions to Eclipse Marketing Solutions. This is probably because they are complete liars, they are a discrace to the marketing world and are giving other more reputable companies a bad name. Thankfully I have found a postion with a legitamit Marketing firm since then. When the woman Jenifer called me she told me they were hiring for customer service postions. When I came in the job was either going door to door trying to sell Verizon Fios or going to homedepots trying to sell cabinates. They were both sales positions not customer service and I would have been ok with sales if they didn't lie to me about it. Even if I took the job not only could I not trust what they say but both of those sales postions seemed to be a hard sell and take a tremendous amount of time which did not seem profitable at all. BEWARE if you see this phone Number 631-392-1067.

great company
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 01, 2014POSTED: Friday, August 01, 2014
i have to say that this company is a great marketing firm. they've been functioning strongly for well over a year. they're customer service positions are not in a call center. call centers are not marketing firms...marketing companies have to provide customer service because they're providing a service. if anyone is confused about that, one should recognize and own their confusion instead of calling a company a bunch of liars lol. spell check makes your statement more legitimate, so make sure you do that before you submit anything that you expect people to take seriously because it could make you look REALLY stupid. Oh--this is America, so if you'd like to change your business name, you are free to do so. that's all, take care.

Jimmy Westlake's Celestial News column appears monthly in the Steamboat Today.
Find more columns by Westlake here.
Steamboat Springs There are a number of star clusters visible to the unaided eye, such as the well-known Pleiades and the Beehive clusters, but there is only one star cluster that forms a constellation all by itself. You can see it high in the eastern sky on April evenings as a smattering of several dozen faint stars. This is the constellation we call Coma Berenices, or Queen Berenice's Hair, and it is one of only a few constellations associated with a real person rather than a mythological one.
On ancient star charts, the Coma Berenices star cluster is shown as representing the tuft of hair on the end of the tail of Leo the Lion, located nearby, but, in 1602, famed Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe designated it as a distinct and separate constellation on his star charts for the first time.
Legend tells us that the constellation represents the hair of Egyptian Queen Berenice II, who lived about 245 B.C. Apparently, she had made a promise to cut off her beautiful hair and place it in the temple of the goddess Aphrodite if Aphrodite would return her husband, King Ptolemy III, safely from battle. The king returned from battle unharmed and so, true to her vow, Berenice clipped off her golden hair and placed it in Aphrodite's temple as an offering, but overnight, the tresses mysteriously disappeared. For some reason, the king suspected that the court astronomer, Conon of Samos, was responsible and, when questioned, the quick-thinking astronomer pointed skyward to an unnamed star cluster and explained that Aphrodite was so touched by the love offering that she had personally placed the queen's hair in the sky for all to see for eternity. Apparently, the king bought this story and spared the astronomer's life, so, Leo loses a tail, but we gain Queen Berenice's Hair.
When you gaze upward at Coma Berenices tonight, consider that you are looking straight up out of the top of our pancake-shaped Milky Way galaxy and into the depths of intergalactic space. The hazy band of the Milky Way encircles you along the horizon.
The Coma Berenices star cluster is one of the nearest star clusters to Earth, lying only 280 light years away. For comparison, the more familiar Seven Sisters, or Pleiades star cluster, lies 440 light years away. Far beyond the stars of our Coma Berenices star cluster, modern astronomers using large telescopes have discovered another kind of cluster, a cluster of more than 3,000 galaxies, lying at a distance of 280-million light years. The Coma cluster of galaxies is one of the largest such clusters known to astronomers. What we really have, then, is a cluster within a cluster, disguised as Queen Berenice's beautiful hair.

The days passed rapidly; five and half weeks seemed a long time in a small place like Dover but we were happily able to fill our days. Being so close to the national parks and beaches and some fabulous wilderness walks is wonderful and the very best aspect of being here for an extended time means you can pick your day to have an adventure, so bleak weather spoiling them is not an issue!!!
Early days were a bit tough with the very cool temperatures and overcast skies and drizzle turning summer into winter. We had to unpack the winter clothes and took to wearing layers like the locals do. The wood heater helped warm us up and after a week or so the sun shone through enough to cheer us up and allow us to get into outside adventures. The constantly changing weather would be hard to live with!!!
The van is neatly tucked away in the driveway and we mostly drive Mick's truck .
We have a next door neighbour called Penelope and she is a fat black pig and lives with her master. She looks a bit bad tempered but seems to do no harm.
Quite a few Dover houses have sheep on their properties and they seem to keep the grass short.
Golf course is a paddock according to Sheila but we did get out there on one occasion on a lovely day; Kath caddied and Sheila did the golfing.
Apparently it is maintained by volunteers and there are only a few active members according to one of the members so in that case it's pretty good. The coastal location and the views are special or are they distracting?
We did have a couple of negative experiences while stationed here, and these challenged our resilience but time passes and we moved on. You can't control everything and you can't understand everthing so live it as it comes!!
The main road to Dover follows the Huon River and goes inland at Surges Bay; the alternate road trip is on the Esperance Coast RD towards the D'Entrecasteaux coast, a very scenic journey right next to gorgeous beaches and rugged coasts.
It is an extra 12 kms but well worth the effort. We noticed waterfront acreage for sale at around $100,000, still cheap by mainland standards and orchards and farms along the way. Little Roaring Beach, a few minutes from Dover is really picturesque and the perfect holiday haven!!
Daily beach walk: We have been able to keep up the one hour daily power walk and happily our route is along the beach and through a small section of coastal scrub. It is amazing how the ocean and landscape changes so frequently, you could probably say it is never the same!! The water is cold and we have not braved swimming yet.
There are three small islands in the bay: Faith, Hope and Charity; Charity is the closest and is remembered by" charity begins at home"
Walking barefoot through the shallows your feet are numb with the icy water and cool sand. The beach is mostly deserted but we have met some interesting people along the way, and even received an invitation to join a local for a cup of tea!
Adamson's Peak adds a dark mysterious aspect to the distant views of Dover town.
In general the town is quiet and most people seem to drive the streets rather than walk.
Dover's attraction is its closeness to the wilderness areas of the south and the services it offers travellers going there; the town even has a medical centre!!!!!
Thanks Mick and Ulla for lending us your house and dogs; you have to admit the dogs are looking fit and healthy having followed a strenuos exercise routine with us.
Sorry about the long distance calls telling you your dogs were missing and that we were on bush fire alert while you were freezing in the coldest British winter in 100 years!
The van is packed and so it is goodbye Dover, hello Adventure Bay on Bruny Island!

Why horses? I have been asked this question my whole life. The answer? The exhileration of power that my horse chooses to share with me. The heart and soul inspired by the committment to carry me over and through lifes ups and downs. Horses inspire me to be more like them. Strong, yet meek. Powerful, yet soft. Couragous, yet trusting. Willing to follow and trust, even though the path seems uncertain.
Sharing my passion for horses is not only my career, but my hearts desire to nurture relationships between horse and human. Enlightening the hearts of children, men, and women of the grace and true beauty of the equines heart and soul.
Whether, competition is in your future or a pleasant companion to take down the trail, my goal is to develop a step x step plan that will start you on the process of making and reaching for your goals with your horse. -- Cindy Branham, Certified Horse Trainer/Clinician

I'm looking for a pet divider for my 2005 wagon so that we can keep our cats (14# and 21#) in the way-back of the wagon while we drive out to Indiana at the end of the month. I've been scouting Craigslist and there is a divider for a 1999 Forester available right now. Do you know if that will fit my car?
We may go with a large crate instead of the divider, but we have to be able to fit a small litter box, and food and water bowls in there with them.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a potentially life-threatening condition arising from a wide variety of pathophysiologic mechanisms. Effective treatment requires a systematic diagnostic approach to identify all reversible mechanisms. Many of these mechanisms are relevant to those afflicted with obesity. The unique mechanisms of PH in the obese include obstructive sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, anorexigen use, cardiomyopathy of obesity, and pulmonary thromboembolic disease. Novel mechanisms of PH in the obese include endothelial dysfunction and hyperuricemia. A wide range of effective therapies exist to mitigate the disability of PH in the obese.

If you started Grand Theft Auto with all the weapons, you'd be pretty happy! If you started Pokemon with 100 Pokemon, you'd be really pleased! So why not cheat code your baby and select some of these things?
A plethora of baby goods, just waiting for your thoughtful reviews.
Little Duck - best ever and company started by a friend.
Do it.
Organic, non GMO, and just fruit. Make your babies happy inside.
I am a grad student with no kids. I bought a giant order of Little Duck last time it was up on Woot because it's great to take to my evening classes. It's just a great snack to have around. Tasty and easy to eat. It's just freeze dried fruit!
Grooming Kit: makes great compact travel/camping kit

Can you ask your friend to also package it in single serve packs? ;)
Besides what's mentioned above, kids LOVE this fruit. It's fantastic for keeping at day care, for those days they refuse everything you've packed in their lunch. I like it for the moments when you're running errands in the car, and don't want a huge wet mess everywhere. Any gets dropped, and it's easily dust-busted up.
You don't feel bad feeding this to your kids either, because it's not processed or junky.
We usually get this for $3.99 on sale, but it's normally $5 a bag at Whole Foods, so this is a good deal.
Woot!, can you tell us what the expiration date on these lots are?
ethibaul wrote:Can you ask your friend to also package it in single serve packs? ;)
You mean you don't steal it from your kids and eat the whole bag yourself?
I do.
But you should suggest it on their facebook page. I doubt I have much influence over Zak's mind. High school was ten years ago and there are a lot of other people there making decisions now too! lol

From ancient times there has been a weekly portion (Parashah) from the first five books of Moses (The Torah) and an ending (Haftarah) from the Prophets read on the Sabbath in synagogues around the world. This portion is given a Hebrew name drawn from the opening words of the Torah passage. An illustration of this practice appears to have been recorded in Luke 4:16 where Yeshua (Jesus) arrived in the synagogue in Nazareth and was asked to read the portion (Isaiah 61) from the Prophets.
We have found that in perusing these weekly readings, not only are we provided opportunity to identify in the context of God's Word with millions of Jewish people around the world, but very often the Holy Spirit will illumine specific passages pertinent that week in our intercession for the Land and people of Israel. All texts are those of English translations of the Scriptures.
TORAH: Genesis 6:9—11:32
HAFTARAH : Isaiah 54:1—55:5
The readings for this week are called Noach (Noah)—whose name is related to rest, calm, comfort, and consolation.
Rainbow over the Mount of Olives upon which the Lord's feet will stand
upon His return (Zechariah 14:4)
"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be" (Matt. 24:37).
*Genesis 6:9. "Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations; Noah walked with God."
"Perfect" is an adjectival form of the word translated "integrity" in Psalm 25:21: "Let integrity and uprightness guard me for I wait for you" (NKJV).
*Genesis 6:11-13. "Now the earth had gone to ruin before God, the earth was filled with wrongdoing. God saw the earth, and here: it had gone to ruin, for all flesh had ruined its way upon the earth. God said to Noah: An end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with wrongdoing through them: here, I am about to bring ruin upon them, along with the earth" (Everett Fox translation; emphases ours).
Flesh, given its lead, brings ruin and destruction. In the New Covenant Yeshua prophesied that in latter days, it will again be "as it was in the days of Noah". Zechariah 2:11-13 instructs us that in those days, as Messiah draws near to "again take possession of Judah and to choose Jerusalem", and the LORD is "aroused from His holy habitation", it will be imperative for Believers that they (as did Noah) say "HUSH" (Hebrew: Hass! Vs 13) to the flesh. Either we crucify it in the power of the Holy Spirit, or it will, as in the days of Noah, be our ruin.
*Genesis 6:14. "Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms [or nests] in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch."
The English word "ark" is used here for the Hebrew teva which means "a box or case" (the word is used for 'mailbox' in Israel today). It is the same as that was used to shelter the baby Moses in Exodus 2:3 (the "Ark of the Covenant" uses a different Hebrew word).
There is much redemption pictured here. The very word translated "cover" and "pitch" (kopher) is identical with the word for atonement. The apostle Peter pictures the ark as a type of our salvation in Yeshua, our consciences being baptized through His death and resurrection (I Peter 3:18-22).
*Genesis 7:4. "For after seven more days, I will cause it to rain on the earth…"
It is God who "causes it to rain on the earth." As mentioned last week, we have now entered into the time of the "Former Rains" in Israel (these come in the fall and winter, the "Latter Rains" come in spring).
PLEASE PRAY that God will have mercy upon Israel and, as He did in Noah's day, open the windows of heaven—not for judgment but in mercy. As we have often mentioned, Isaiah 41:17-20 speaks of a time when Israel will cry out for water and be heard by her God—Who will do creative works to release water in unexpected places to the end "that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it."
*Genesis 7:15. "They (the animals) came to Noah into the ark…of all flesh in which is the spirit of life."
*Genesis 9:4a. "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs (NKJV)."
God is the One who has now "given" humankind meat to eat, as well as plants. We are to honour each man's conscience before God with regard to personal decisions to eat or not eat meat. However, it is difficult to reconcile with this Scripture the teachings of some who hold that God's ideal for humankind today is the meatless sustenance afforded them in Eden and before the Flood.
*Genesis 9:4b. "But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood."
The literal word for "life" in Hebrew is chaim. Yet here, the word nephesh—"soul" is used—"But you shall not eat flesh with its soul, that is, its blood."
This will be reiterated in Leviticus 17:13-14, "Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; for it is the soul of all flesh. Its blood sustains its soul. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, 'You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the soul of all flesh is its blood."
In Genesis 2:7, "The LORD God formed man of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [i.e. chaim], and man became a living soul [i.e. nephesh]."
When Cain murdered Abel, the "voice of [his] brothers blood cried out" to God from the ground.
The soul that sins must die, and all have sinned…so death reigns in the very blood-line of all children of Adam. Except One. The Blood of the virgin-born Saviour, the "Second Adam", Yeshua, was pure and without sin (Hebrews 4:15). Thus, it could "sprinkle many nations" (Isaiah 52:15) with a "sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:24)." God made "His soul an offering for sin" (53:10)—and with the shedding of His blood, "He poured out His soul (nephesh) unto death" and "bore the sin of many" (53:12).
*Genesis 10:25. "To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided…"
The word may mean "split apart", "broken away into sections." Some have suggested that this may actually allude to a period in which at least some of the continental shiftings discernible on modern-day maps took place. Which might explain why for instance the four rivers branching out from the large one coming out of Eden (Genesis 2:10-14) no longer appear to be in that same relation to each other.
This week's reading from the prophet Isaiah is filled with God's heart and merciful plan for His people. Ask God to use these verses to help in your prayers. Pray that they will be quickened with divine revelation in the souls of those who hear them read in synagogues this weekend! Pray that Israel will know that she is loved, that she will be convicted of her sin and need for a Redeemer, that she will understand that the LORD Himself is her only Redeemer, and that her righteousness comes from Him!
*Isaiah 54:5. "For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth." The God of all the earth has sovereignly chosen to identify Himself with the name He gave to his servant Jacob—Israel. Nations or religions which will not humble themselves to acknowledge this "identification" will find themselves standing against the very God of all nations and the universe itself.
*Isaiah 54:7-8. " 'For a mere moment I have forsaken you, but with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,' says the LORD, your Redeemer."
*Isaiah 54:13-15. "All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me, whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake."
*Isaiah 54:17. " 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,' says the LORD."
*Isaiah 55:1-3. "Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you—the sure mercies of David."
–Friends in Jerusalem
The readings for next week (October 21-27 ) will be called Lech Lecha.

You are reading and hearing a lot about SSD. Well, I did mine and the difference is amazing. Boot time average is about 25 seconds. Programs open almost instantly. My computer is almost two years old, and when it was built, the entire system was "mid level" state of the art, but this is almost unbelievable.
I installed the Intel 335, and wish that I had done it sooner. I have a SATA 2 motherboard and I am told that SATA 3 would apparently have made boot even faster. This will change the computer world.
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 8
(Solved) - The difference is MORE than expected(22 posts)
You are reading and hearing a lot about SSD. Well, I did mine and the difference is amazing. Boot time average is about 25 seconds. Programs open almost instantly. My computer is almost two years old, and when it was built, the entire system was "mid level" state of the art, but this is almost unbelievable.
SATA III is faster, but the difference isn't going to be that noticeable. Depending on what is being done, maybe only seconds will be saved.
I put a SATA II on my 3 1/2 year old and it made a 4+ minute boot less then 40 seconds. It all depends on your total h/w and how much you load at boot-up, and delay by some programs due to the need to retrieve Internet information.
Solid State beats mechanical drives all the time.
Irv S.
25 seconds is OK but could be faster. Have a look into Event Viewer > Event ID 100 for the exact time. You get there thru these steps:
Applications and Service Logs
Diagnostics - performance
Event ID 100
Yeah, NO need for using mechanical hard disk drives any more on personal computers.
They were slow, large, heavy, generated a lot heat, wasted much energy and prone to catastrophic failures.
SSDs are the way to go on all PCs.
@ Rick. Actually, it depends. An SSD that would replace the spinner in my notebook (there is room for only drive in it) would cost significantly more than the entire machine (yes, I considered it but being the cheap, old broad I am...). It takes only 35 seconds to a minute (depending on its "mood") for it to boot up and I generally use that time to make a biobreak, snag a snack, etc. anyway so I don't even notice the time. Even with a 5400 rpm spinner, all but two of my programs on the thing take only two or three seconds to start except for Media Monkey the first time after a fresh boot (10 seconds) and even less (5 seconds) after that (both including horsing with the UAC notification) and calibre which takes 50 seconds the first time it gets loaded after a fresh boot and five seconds after that. I don't use calibre very often on that machine so it's nothing to lose sleep (or money) over. Even with my desktop (which I'm not using right now because it's XP—Win 7 has me spoiled—and is slated for replacement soon), it stays on 24/7 (with only an occasional restart to unscramble the OS) so program start up isn't that big a deal (the lack of TRIM support on XP is also a factor but will be irrelevant in a year or so anyway). Around 500 shekels to halve the start times of programs that are already starting in less than five seconds? Doesn't make economic sense for most people.
That said, having an SSD for a boot drive will make a machine fast enough it would negate the need to run it 24/7, thus cutting the electric bill and heat gain a bit, unless one has tasks going on the background or scheduled to happen when one is normally in bed (automatic backups, downloads, updates, etc.), but won't significanly increase the speed of data movement except for huge amounts all at once. I will agree that SSDs are the future of computers but prices will have to drop a lot more, especially for larger drives used for data storage, before they take over.
The new 2013 Corvette does 0 to 60 MPH in 4 Seconds, why wait 5 seconds for software to open ?? (LOL)
You need a Corvette and SSDs Both. :) :)
Need and being able to afford are two different things. Even 'need' has to be taken into account if you 'need it', that is no other way to do it.
If I'm going to use a computer for 10 minutes, a 3 minute boot percentage wise lengthens the time I'll use the computer considerably. However, if I'm going to be using it for 7 hours, insignificant time addition with respect to the work I'd do.
As for SSD reliability, well, that to me is another aspect to think about. WRITING to the unit shortens life, period. All SSD's have 'extra' cells and allocate them as needed. All gone, drive is too. Yeah, as I'm using ours now, careful where programs and OS can write too, I'm sort of extending the time to well after we're done with the computers, but if I had ONLY SSD's, I can't say that would be true?
Not everyone can afford that larger sizes needed to fully replace the mechanical(s) they now have. To me the small gain in time of a program loading and being able to be used in relation to the time I'm going to use the program is insignificant and meaningless.
SSD's will become more standard in the future, probably the combo of a small SSD acting as cache with a large mechanical behind it will come first (and some vendors supply that now).
What would you rather do? Spend $$$'s on SSD's or Intel Extreme Edition CPU's and large RAM Graphics cards????
Irv S.
Spend $$$$ on SSDs, EE CPUs, Large Ram Graphics Cards and get a new Corvette too !!!! <VBG>
Rick, can you make me a one-time, non-repayable loan so I can do as you say? <VBG> Question, do you have a new Corvette or you .....
Irv S.
Irv, NO, I haven't got a Corvette; just saw the new ones and specs on the local TV news. <VBG>
0 to 60 MPH in 4 Seconds is beyond belief !!
I DO have ALL SSD Computers in raid 0 arrays however.
Would NEVER go back to mechanical hard drives as they are so slow at doing anything.
Rick P.
Rick. Any idea when the size of the SSD's will get big enough to replace my 20TB JBOD NAS and the price to buy it will be cheaper than a new Corvette?
Hi Doug,
Long time no see !! :) :)
I ain't got a clue how you're going to replace that HUGE NAS any time soon. (LOL) (LOL)
May be start playing the Lottery Regularly. :) :)
Best Regards,
Rick P.
@ Rick. LOL! Ok, I'm old. Speed isn't everything anymore. I'd rather have an F150 than a 'Vette.
Yeah, you help push mine off to get started and then we can use my jumper cables to get yours started. (LOL) (LOL)
Have to work together in my poor part of the country. :)
Works for me (although I DO have a new battery and heavy duty jumper cables).
whs........I did what you stated with the Event Viewer, but really do not understand what information that was presented........all I know is that boot time is very fast compared to what I was accustom to.
The Event100 gives you the precise boot time (in ms). It is better than any tool or the stop watch. That's all there is to it. What did yours actually say ??
Boot Start Time 2013-01-17T19:49:05
Boot End Time 2013-01-17T19:51:55
Boot Time 23739
So that's a shy 24 seconds. Not bad. My best system is 18 to 19 seconds. A couple of my laptops are nearly 30 seconds. That should give you a range.
Thanks for decoding that information...now I can reallt say that the question is answered and the issue is SOLVED

Press Releases
February 15, 2011
(ALISO VIEJO, Calif.), Feb, 16 2011– Nearly twenty-five years after
opening its original restaurant in Los Angeles, Johnny Rockets has
unveiled its sports lounge concept on the West Coast. The new Johnny
Rockets Sports Lounge, located within Universal CityWalk's three-block
entertainment, dining and shopping promenade, combines a traditional
family-friendly Johnny Rockets restaurant and its classic Americana
dining experience with sports-filled screens, stylish decor and a
full-service bar.
Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge offers a unique setting where families, sports fanatics and local sports teams can enjoy all-American comfort food. With thirteen large screen TVs scattered throughout the lounge, main restaurant and patio area, guests have the chance to enjoy their favorite sporting event, spend time with family or celebrate a season, while savoring an ice cold Johnny Rockets American Ale beer and classic bar fare.
The dining menu features favorites like, grilled-to-order hamburgers, shakes and American Fries, all signature items of the iconic chain. Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge also serves cocktails, wine and beer, a specialized bar menu and a variety of branded merchandise for sale. Monday through Friday, guests can take advantage of the happy hour food and drink menu, from 3-7 p.m. With the Gibson Amphitheatre nearby, concertgoers are encouraged to stop at Johnny Rockets for themed drink specials. The location also offers a selection of breakfast items, opening its doors at 9:00 a.m.
"Los Angeles is known for its high concentration of sports teams and our new sports lounge will offer the perfect place to grab a beer and classic American food in a fun setting," said Franchise Owner Bobby Azinian. "With the exuberant dynamic of the Universal CityWalk surroundings, and the good times of Johnny Rockets, the Sports Lounge is quickly becoming a great hangout for locals and tourists alike."
"The original Johnny Rockets opened in Los Angeles in 1986, and we're excited to turn the page and launch new versions of our classic brand, like the sports lounge at CityWalk, just miles away from our original location," said CEO of Johnny Rockets, John Fuller. "We've come a long way in the past twenty-five years and we know guests will enjoy our fun family setting to take in a game or enjoy a meal while spending the day at Universal Studios."
Johnny Rockets Restaurant & Sports Lounge is located in Universal CityWalk Hollywood at 1000 Universal Studios Blvd, Universal City, Calif. The restaurant marks the opening of the company's third Sports Lounge and the 42nd restaurant in Southern California. The chain currently consists of nearly 300 restaurants in the U.S. and abroad, with plans to double that number in the next three-to-five years.
