Print Interview
You have people very close to you in this business that you trust, and they have also made a difference in your career.
When my lawyer first came to me and said, "You can own your own show," it literally took the ceiling off my brain because I had never even thought that high before. I never even thought that was possible. And everybody needs somebody in their life to say, "Yes, you can do it!"
I have a niece who is 15. Several years ago, I told her the same thing that my father said to me. I said, "You are too smart to get Cs." I heard my father speaking. We were crossing the street one day, and she was talking about her grades. I said, "You are too smart to do that. You could be an A student." And she said, "Do you really think I can?" "Oh, of course. You are such a bright person." And she started getting As. A year later, she said, "Nobody ever told me I could." I think that one of the most important lessons to learn is that we are all responsible for our lives. But nobody gets through this life alone. Everybody needs somebody to show them a way out, or a way up. Everybody does.
I feel best in surroundings where other people are smarter than I am because I feel like I can always learn something from it. One of the other big lessons that I've learned, particularly in business, is that you have a responsibility to yourself to learn as much about your business as you can. I sign every check. Although it is now tedious because the bills that come in from running and maintaining a studio -- everything from Federal Express to Xerox, to every tape that needs to be repaired, and so forth -- it gets to be a lot.
I have stacks and piles of checks to do, and I know that there are a lot of successful people who don't do that. I still have a tenement mentality. I've been very poor in my life, and so the idea of having money and not being responsible and knowing how much money you have and keeping control of it, is not something that I personally can accept. I know that there are other people who can, but it's just not a possibility for me. I need to know where it is. There are times when I think I want to go to the bank and say, "Show it to me." Because just seeing it on a piece of paper -- anybody can print out a piece of paper. So I watch it very carefully and try to maintain responsibility for it.
When I first started being a "business woman," I worried about "How do you do this?" And I realized that you do this the same way as you do anything else. You be fair. You try to be honest with other people, and be fair.
You told us you sign all your own checks. You also work long hours. What kind of hours do you put in?
Oprah Winfrey: Thirteen-hour days, 15, 12. A 12-hour day is a short day for me. I feel like, after a 12-hour day, "What am I going to do with the rest of my day?" I get home, and I don't know what to do with myself because I have all of this time left over. I don't know what to do. So I really feel most comfortable working 14 to 16 hours because then, at least, I can go home.
Most of the questions come from my own natural curiosity about a particular subject. And I find I'm best in situations where I just go right off the top of my head. Right off. I ask what I want to know. And that's what being in television for a long time -- and also getting comfortable with yourself -- allows you to do. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. It's OK to make a mistake.
It sounds like you love your work, and so in some ways it's not really work.
Oprah Winfrey: It's not work. Steve Martin has a joke about how some people go to the drugstore, and they sell Flair pens. And he says, in a silly voice, "And I get paid for doing this!" I feel the same way. I feel like I would do this if I didn't get a dime for it, and that's why you know you are doing the right thing -- because it doesn't even feel like work.

Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - July 19, 1952, Winona, Minnesota Showers Tonighf or Sunday, Cooler Sunday Chiefs vs. Mankato Sunday KWNO AM VOLUME 52, NO. T30 SIX CENTS PER COPY WINONA, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, JUIY 19, 1952 FOURTEEN PAOiS Men, Not Issues, Top Convention By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP you want a sam- ple of the peculiar atmosphere of the Democratic rally in Chicago, the following story is a better than average sample of high-level talk here. f In brief, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois wrote a letter a couple of months ago describing his attitude toward the Democratic nomination which has been so often pressed upon him. This letter was either addressed to, or somehow got into the hands of Stevenson's friend, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. Justice Douglas, for reasons best known to himself, proceeded to show the Stevenson letter Harry S. Truman's great and good friend, Chief Justice Fred Vinson. Chief Justice Vinson in turn either show- ed the letter, or related its con- tents, to the President. Stevenson had written that ha did not want the Democratic nomination, and particularly did not want to be nominated as President Truman's personal candidate, because of the obli. gations that this would involve. He had also written that he was not sure he was a Fair Dealer, because he was any- thing but clear in his own mind about what a Fair Dealer really was. These remarks, in- evitably, were taken by President as signs and symp- of the darkest disloyalty. The moment when the Stevenson letter reached the ears or eyes of Truman is persuasively said to have marked the turning point in the President's attitude toward the Illinois governor. The foregoing story happens to be well substantiated. There is very little Spubt indeed that Gov. Stevenson did in fact write such a letter, the summary of which represents his known views. There is very little doubt, either, that the triple play really occurred. And there can be no doubt at all about Tru- man's reaction, when confronted with such a document. The really interesting thing about this story, however, is the it symbolizes the quality of the oncoming Democratic conven- tion. The Republicans had big is- sues at stake, and big, easily dis- cernible forces were engaged against each other. In the case of the Democrats, no candidate benefits from the kind of factional fanaticism that sustained Hobert A. Taft. No candidate is supported by the kind of popular surge that carried Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Instead of popular surges and passionate advocacy, stories like that printed above are the warp and woof-of this session in Chicago. A few of these stories are true, like this one.- Many more are false, or partly false. Their prevalence, which is the significant thing, means that the decisive factors at this stage are the relationships be- tween group and group and be- tween individual and individual. Particularly, of course, the Presi- dent's relationships and attitudes are vital. And in this sense the Stevenson letter is regarded as I significant, as inclining Truman to block the draft-Stevenson move- i ment that Truman himself originat- ed. (t is this emphasis on the es- sentially personal and on the deals, negotiations, pri- vate attitudes and hints let makes the Democra- tic gathering appear, for the time being, like a large, jolly, amiable loony bin. How else can it be, at least five ma [or groupings in the party, and at least two score Isading personalities, all enter into the picture? Even the President himself has multiplied his agents, secret and overt, until no one knows exactly who is speaking for him. Beneath the surface nerve war- fare and maneuvering, however, two significant facts very plainly appear. The Democrats have two possible strategies. They can nom- inate a candidate who is thought to enjoy strong sectional support, as Averell Harriman docs in the North and Sen. Russell does in the South. But in that case, they must accept a more or less open and violent party split. Or they can seek a candidate who will unite the party. But in that case, they must choose between Sen. Kefauver, whom so many leaders detest; or Vice President Barklcy, whose Mother, Girl Die in Fargo Fire An Unidentified Fireman snips off the part of a plastic clothes hanger which protrudes from the mouth of Michael J. Anusevich, 3, of Omaha, Neb. The boy swallowed about half of the 15-inch hanger when he stumbled and fell while playing. Within half an hour after this picture was taken attendants at a hospital said the remainder of the hanger had been removed and Michael was about ready to return to his home and play.

HAAKINSON CHICAGO leaders struggled today to avoid other party-shattering battle over the'civil rights issue. Many of them confided it was touch and go at the moment. Most are counting upon the veteran- Rep, John W. McCormack of Mas- sachusetts, chairman of the Platform Committee, to find a solution. If harmony moves fail, Dixie Democrats who bitterly oppose federal intervention in the field of racial relations must decide whether to surrender or battle it Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois had this big' smile shortly after his arrival in Chi- cago and then announced he would resist any effort to place his name in nomination for the presidency in the Democratic national convention. (A P photo) Flier Watches Vessel Sink QUONSET POINT, R. I., Coast Guard flier told a graphic story today of a dying SS Black spewed her 49 passengers into the dark At- lantic Ocean without life rafts. Lt. William G. Fenlon of Oak Park., 111., flew over the burning vessel, dropping flares, to speed the search. The ship, he said, "was badly afire" in its after half. Then, "less than two hours later the flames spread to the after two thirds of the Fenlon said in a telephone interview here as he returned for seven minutes to refuel and to pick up more flares. "The flames were making such good headway, there was no doubt the vessel will completely burn to the water-line. "The flames were a bright orange color shooting up about 20 out on the convention floor. Northern Democrats, led by such men as Sen. Humphrey of Minnesota and Sen. Lehman of New York, claim enough pledged votes to write a tough civil rights plank. They are openly taunting "the Dixiecrats" to accept it or take a walk as they did four years ago at the Philadelphia convention after a searing floor battle. McCormack, House leader land seasoned by many similar i scraps there, told this reporter: j "I am hopeful that the platform reported to the convention by this {committee will be approved. Com- j mon sense would call for unity." Meanwhile McCormack and his 1 committeemen pushed ahead with public hearings on other phases of the new party platform today. They listed more than 40 witnesses for testimony on almost as many different subjects. Sen. William Benton of Con- necticut was to lead off and some expected him to raise the civil rights issue by backing a change in Senate rules to make it easier to kill filibusters. Most civil rights enthusiasts said this must be the initial step in getting congressional approval for I their broad program. j McCormack said his committee i need not reach its decision until j next Monday or Tuesday, ahead !of flvlng saucers of the Wednesday deadline for pre-1about m tne sky. senting the new platform to the!

Stevenson Stands Firm in Refusal to Run Convention Deadlock, Draft May Budge Him By WILLIAM J. CONWAY CHICAGO IB Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson today stood firm in his refusal to run for the Democratic presidential nomination. There appeared to be only one possible situation that would budge convention deadlock and a draft. The Illinois governor termed such a situation "inconceivable. also said he would decide what to do about it if and when it developed. Stevenson last night rejected the pleas of six Chicago Democratic leaders that he make himself available. One of them, Jacob M. Arvey, Illinois national committeejnan, stated later that if a deadlocked convention should turn to Steven- ion, "I am certain he will accept the nomination and make a strong campaign." Arvey, Chairman Joseph L. Gill of the powerful cook County Dem- ocratic Committee and four of their colleagues talked with Stev- enson for two hours. When the session ended, Gill told newsmen: 'We urged the governor to re- consider his position without sue cess. He still asked us to respect lis wishes and not do anything to urther his candidacy." Gill said the 60-vote Illinois dele- 'ation will not push Stevenson for the time being. It will take a tem- orary position on the sidelines, nd wait to see what happens. The -delegation will hold a cau- us Sunday, the day before the onvention opens, but Gill said no andidate would be endorsed then, Earb'er, Stevenson defined his osition to newsmen who met him t Meigs Airport after his arrival rom Springfield. It is this: "I want to run for overnor, and that's all I want to un for." He said he couldn't "conceive of nything" that would make him hange his mind. Newsmen told him of reports lat Archie Alexander, a New Jer- ey delegate, had said he would place Stevenson's name in nom nation. "I ask all delegates not to nom nate he commented. He then was asked if he woul accept a draft if a deadlock de veloped.

"The ocean was comparatively calm with about four-foot swells. now annoyed Truman and does not want to run anyway. The collective action of a loony bin is impossible to forecast, and so is the collective action of this convention. Harriman is leaning towards using the civil rights is- sue as Gen. Eisenhower's managers used the issue of the stolen South- ern delegations, and this tactic may work. He is also courting the President's endorsement. If any one has a moral right to Truman's support, that man is Harridan.

Searching through the gloom of the dark, foggy Atlantic rescuers sighted survivors by the eerie glow of the burning ship and by the bright flares dropped from planes droning overhead.

Randall, president of the nland Steel Company and a lead- ing spokesman for the industry, aid "strong public opinion" is rging his company "to stand ast and not sign a contract that prevent a non union man rom working." The possible seizure of a portion f the idle mills under the Selec- .ve Service Act was reportedly aken, under active consideration fter a White House Conference hursday between Dr. John R. teelman, acting chief mobilizer, nd government production and efense officials. President Truman seized the in- ustry on April 8 under his claimed n h e r e n t constitutional powers, wo months later, on June 2, the upreme Court in a 6 to 3 opinion eld the seizure unconstitutional nd ordered the mills returned to rivate ownership. Groundwork Needed A, great deal of groundwork would be necessary if the govern- iright did decide to attempt seizure of''a small part of the industry under the 1948 Selective. Service Act, The Defense Department would have to place direct orders with struck plants. If these were not filled within a specified: time, the President could seize the mills. The seizure provision of the Se- lective Service Act was not de- signed to deal with deadlocked labor disputes. Nor did the gov- ernment consider it a practical solution at the time of the first seizure. Mississippi, Texas 'Rebels' Win 1st Round CHICAGO HI Anti-Truman forces from Texas and Mississippi today won the first round in their fight to cast 70 votes in next week Democratic national convention. The credentials subcommitte recommended to the full Democra tic national committee that i throw out the bids of rival "loya ist" delegations from the tw southern states.. The credentials group, however recommended that the convention adopt a resolution that would bind both delegations to support thi party's presidential nominee, who ever he might be. The national committee not only must act on its contest subcommit tee's recommendation, but the re suit also can be appealed to the convention itself as was done two weeks ago in the bitter Tafi vs. Eisenhower fight for Dixie de- legates. And a floor fight appeared to be in the making. A combine of Harriman-Kefauver forces was being widely talked to try to force either the seating of the loyalist delegates, or to have the convention vote to bind the anti-Truman forces to go along with the party ticket. While recommending seating of the from Texas and Mississippi, the credentials com- mittee also proposed that adequate chairs be provided on the conven- tion floor for Maury Maverick's pro-Truman Texas de- legation and for the Mississippi "loyalist" faction. Neither, however, would have any votes. Votes for the two states would be cast by the Shivers and "toleman regulars. I? far into the skies.

The ship had radioed the Coast Guard here at p.m. EST Fri- day that it was in trouble. Thirty-six minutes later it said all hands had abandoned the ves- sel, and that all life boats had been lost or burned. Within 10 minutes Coast Guard planes were en route to the scene from three different stations. Four Coast Guard cutters changed their courses miles away and headed to the rescue.

The survivors had little to add ;o the fate1 of their missing fellows The four, they said, had leaped xom the ship's poop deck into the water 35 'feet below. None of the 45 apparently was n serious condition, for the cutter tfackinac tarried with them at sea, iclping in the final search before making a 10-hour trip to. shore. There was no immediate word rom the Gripsholm, a Swedish :hip, as to how she found the men, eparately or clustered together. Neither was there any explana- ion of how the men survived with- ut life rafts. The Black Gull, which had been ue in New York today, met trag- dy only 200 miles from her desti- ation.

D. mother and her six-year-old daughter and the family's pet dog burned to death early this morning when fire swept their one-story home on the out- skirts of West Fargo. An eight-year-old son, John, caped death by breaking a window and climbing through as flames gutted the frame house about a.m. The victims were TWjs. Mary Shaw, 35, and her daughter, Lil- lian. Mrs. Shaw is divorced. The boy was taken to a Fargo hospital for treatment of burns and lacerations. His exact condition was not known immediately. Mrs. Ernest Fosse said she wag awakened by what she thought were screams and then noticed Shaw home in flames. Mrs. Fosse lives two houses north. Mrs. Fosse said young John Shaw came screaming to their home, crying, "Mommie is in there. I could hear her scream- ing." Several calls were placed to Fargo fire department but appar- ently the area is not within the local department's jurisdiction. It wasn't until the fire had all. but gutted the Shaw home- that the southwest Fargo fire unit arrived and kept the flames from envelop? ing an adjoining one-story home. It was not known immediately what caused the fire. Sioux Falls Fire Destroys Building SIOUX FALLS, S. D. early this morning gutted a fanfld- iag housing three Falls firms, causing damage running in- to the thousands of dollars. The flames destroyed Happy Hour Bar, Bassler's Wom- en's Apparel and Ingham Clean- ers, all in downtown Sioux Falls. The discovered about S a.m., caused heavy damage ia stock and merchandise as well as to the one-story building in which, the three businesses were housed. No estimate on the total damage was available immediately. Burdette Sheldon, assistant fire chief, said the fire seemed to have started in the ceiling in the rear of the building, but the exact cause had not been determined. Firemen had the flames under control after about two hours, but were still on duty six hours later to watch for a possible recurrence! Several fire fighters narrowly es- caped being plunged into the build- ing when the roof collapsed at the height of the blaze. They had just come down from the roof when it fell in. Oil Tanker Afire in East River NEW YORK OP) An otl tanker was reported on fire in the East River off 70th Street today and police said crewmen were leaping into the river to escape the flames.

Badass in Black - 1998 Jeep ZJ Grand CherokeePosted in Vehicle Reviews on December 29, 2004 Comment (0)
It seems about this time last year when we ran across another Grand Cherokee in Moab that we liked and featured in "SLC Thrashers" (Jan. '04). That's sort of a weird coincidence, but one we hope continues as Grands get a little cheaper and more feasible to build into hard-core wheelers. And why not? Take a look at Mike Demarco's '98 Grand Cherokee for example. This ZJ was built to rock, but is also able to drive home without fear of the local fuzz. Mike resides in Orem, Utah, and therefore finds Moab to be his natural choice for stomping grounds.
We caught up with Mike as he and Dave Cowley, a friend who was integral to the buildup of the ZJ, were tooling around at Dump Bump before the crowds got too big. Mike's ZJ is what we'd call a sleeper since on first glance it just looks like a ZJ with a lift and a set of tires, but upon closer inspection, we saw the trick little touches and extensive mods that Mike and Dave came up with. They did an impressive job, especially for Mike's first try at a rig. When asked why he decided to build a ZJ, of all Jeeps, Mike answered, "Cherokees look like boxes on wheels, I don't like the WJ's dash, and Wranglers are for cheerleaders." We want to resent that comment, but our XJ is admittedly a little boxy, and one of our girlfriends owns a Wrangler...and she was a cheerleader.
Mike's suspension is an amalgamation of pieces modified to be used in a different way than originally planned. His front end uses TJ long arms with a custom subframe made to mount the links, while at the same time protecting his swapped-in NP231 transfer case. His ZJ gets its height from Rubicon Express coils and 2-inch spacers, while Rancho RSX shocks help keep his Electrac-locked Dana 44, poached from a Wagoneer, from cycling up and down too quickly. Mike got the bracketry on it with little worries using Rubicon Express' axle bracket kit. He also made sure that he gets every bit of flex possible by using long shocks custom placed above the original fenderwell-mounted shock hole.
With some pushing and prodding from his friends [Thanks, friends!--Ed.], we got some great shots of Mike giving a good effort at one of the biggest hot tubs on Hell's Revenge trail. He almost made it out, but decided to cut it before he got any closer to going over. Smart move, considering that this picture was snapped after a couple guys jumped on the frontend as it started to lift over. Lucky for Mike, he had a good tube bumper on the back that his ZJ stood up and stopped on just short of being over-easy. We strapped it and held on as he came up and out of it, stopping at the top to change his shorts.
The Dana 44 rear was scavenged from an Isuzu that really didn't need it, and was packed with a Detroit Locker and 4.56 gears to match the front. Mike linked it, again using Rubicon Express TJ long arms and connecting them to the back of his custom subframe. We really like Mike's ingenuity of using existing misapplicated parts to get what he wanted, while modifying and building necessary components like that subframe that sits right behind the built tranny and doubles as a transfer-case skidplate. To stop all the extra weight he added, Mike utilized the existing Isuzu disc brakes in the rear, while swapping on 1/2-ton Chevy discs in the front.
Look closely at the top rounded corner of his rear bumper in front of his fuel filler. Mike and Dave cut the bumper and threaded the shanked knob into the cut piece so that corner of the bumper could be removed for fuel filling. Mike's been really happy with the extra clearance the 37s provide his ZJ over the smaller 33-inchers he used to run. He doesn't have to worry about stacking stuff on top, or sliding tools and junk back and forth across the roof. Just another handy use of spray-on bedliner that we hadn't thought of yet.
Mike and his buddy Dave Cowley built these custom bumpers to keep the ZJ's unibody as safe as possible at all corners. This was only done after the entire body was dented and then Bondoed and repainted with a dark gray metallic. You might also notice his custom ghost flames done by a guy called T-Bagg. As for T-Bagg's work, it looks pretty good, but we don't wanna know where he got his nickname. Mike and friends ride in style while cruising Moab with a DVD player running inside, hooked to an amplified stereo system and Pioneer monitor. Yeah, we were gonna go that way with our stereo too, but we just couldn't get away from the quality-sounding eight-tracks in Pw's rigs. The custom hoodscoops on the front are fiberglass Lund units that help keep the stock 5.2L V-8 cool during hotter Moab excursions, and he'll definitely need that extra cooling once he's finished with his current 5.9L swap.

"New York City!" hollered Valient Thorr's captain, Valient Himself, with his back to the Sunday night crowd at the Mercury Lounge, extending his arms to the ceiling. "Let's fucking party!" And then for the next 60 minutes, the denim-vested, beard-wielding band who claims to be extraterrestrials from Venus by way of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, shredded in and out of Southern-clad sludge metal jams to a Yankee crowd. The "Thorr-ondevous" as the band likes to call it, had the energy of a Dixie Hoedown with plenty of booze, sweat and twangy guitar licks to go around.
The set sounded like a car chase: the raw, fuzzy rhythm guitar revved like a motor as the squealing lead skidded around turns, suggesting a lineage to Motörhead. After busting out of the gate with "Gillionaire" and "Goveruptcy," Valient Himself quieted the crowd to declare that it was bassist Nitewolf's birthday, demanding shots be rained upon him. After an abbreviated version of "Happy Birthday," the band got back to it with "Mask Of Sanity." The rock aliens bounced around the stage matching the frequent tempo changes reminiscent of swamp metal peers Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster.
As the sweat began to drip from Himself's hair and red-tinged beard, he removed his shirt and vest, shamelessly displaying his beer belly. In true North Carolina style, after a shout out to Petey Pablo's anthem "Raise Up," he spun his shirt around "like a helicopter," before defending his earth home against those who think poorly of the South. Amidst his rant, the band transitioned into "Night Terrors," the insomnia-driven track off of 2010's Stranger. During the song, the wild vocalist took to the crowd, divided it, sat himself and everyone down and gestured to join him in a rowing motion.
Valient Himself took his time between songs to offer wisdom to the headbanging onlookers. Before "Vision Quest" he demanded to those in attendance, "Get out of this city, get out of this state, get out of your fucking apartment!" Each song offered some sort of message, from the warning of betrayers in "Double Crossed" to the declaration to wake up in "Sleeper Awakes." Himself even targeted the phonies who keep condemning the world to an end every few months before performing the finale "Eternal Universe."
The show that started as a party also ended as one. Hardly leaving the stage, the band returned for the crowd's demand of an encore—but not before it worked for it. Himself, unimpressed by the chants of "encore," would not play another song until every person repeated after him in unison, "P-A-R-T-Y, we don't need no alibi, we party!" When he was finally happy with the chant, he passed around high-fives and the partying continued for one last song.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The cats were a little boring this week, so I didn't have a lot of new pictures to choose from. So here's the same bench from last week, but this time with both cats on it. I should note that this little scene of domestic bliss didn't last long. They never do. Eventually Inkblot gets a burr up his butt and ends up with the bench all to himself.
In other cat news, here's the story of George, who survived the fires raging in Texas this week and returned home in fine fettle. Apparently sardines did the trick. And I want to remind everyone that next Friday is the day of the royal wedding of Wills and Kate. With the help of my Anglophile sister, I'll try to have appropriate catblogging pictures to mark the great occasion. Assuming the cats cooperate, of course. Which they might. Or might not. Check in next week to find out.

Leann Rimes Denies Crying over Brandi Glanville
Sick of all the shenanigans between herself and Brandi Glanville, LeAnn Rimes took to Twitter to deny crying over anything her husband Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife said.
On Monday, photos of the country crooner apparently in tears were published and many assumed the cause of the crying was the vicious jabs of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star.
However, on Tuesday, the 30-year-old singer cleared things up tweeting, "Boys and girls, I was not crying yesterday at lunch w/ @darrellbrown @EddieCibrian my BFF liz and my little dog toto. :) we ate and hugged goodbye. I must have been so sad to see all of them go 3 blocks to the establishment where we were all ending up. #givemeabreakwiththebullshitmeadiaheadlinesandstories. Lol thanks for all the sweet concern tough."
Perhaps reinforcing that Eddie is her man now, LeAnn later shared, "Best part of the day.... Taking coffee to my hubby in bed.....insert BAD jokes/thoughts here lol."

Steamboat Springs In Routt County, gardening is a particular challenge.
We have just 59 days of frost-free growing time on average. We receive average moisture accumulation of just 23 inches per year, one-third of which is typically rain.
It's windy. The sun is intense at our high altitude. We experience extreme temperature fluctuations. And, our soil tends to have less than ideal texture and nutrient content.
This can pose problems for some plants. Because we cannot do anything about our dry air, wind, sun intensity and extreme temperatures, one of the secrets to successful gardening in the Yampa Valley lies in the soil.
If you're serious about gardening, consider having your soil tested every couple of years to determine its texture and nutrient content. This helps you determine how to best amend your soil for optimal plant growth and which, if any, nutrients to include in fertilizer.
The ideal soil is composed of 25 percent air; 25 percent water; 45 percent mineral matter (sand, silt and clay); and 5 percent organic matter. The texture of Routt County soil varies from property to property: Some gardeners have very compact clay soil while others nearby have rocky or sandy soil. So in order to successfully grow plants here, we usually need to modify or amend the soil.
The soil should have a texture that allows for free movement of air, water and roots through the soil. If the soil is too compact, nutrients cannot get through to the roots, and the roots cannot penetrate the soil and grow.
If soil is not compact enough, the water and nutrients drain away too fast.
The problems of too loose or too compacted soil texture can be addressed by adding organic matter. Adding and thoroughly working in 3 cubic yards of tree bark, aged wood chips, aged sawdust or certain aged manures or composts to your soil per 1000 square foot area is recommended each year for annual gardens.
Organic matter should be considered as a mulch or soil conditioner, not fertilizer. A soil test will tell you which nutrients need to be included in any fertilizer you might need.
With properly prepared soil, your Yampa Valley garden will amaze and astound you with the variety of plants that can successfully flourish here!

Windows XP Startup
After several SSD product reviews in which I recorded Windows XP startup time data, I have repeatedly omitted my results from the article for lack of enough comparison data. In all honesty, I cannot make this an interesting subject. Most of you reading this article have already watched the video of a Windows computer starting up in mere seconds when it used a Solid State Drive, so it wouldn't be very exciting to show this again. Instead, I have recorded the length of time it took for my Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook computer to startup with each drive. Here are the specifications on the notebook:
This "test" is going to be useful to laptop computer users only, primarily because I did not test the desktop hard drives. The only hard drive included was the high-performance 7200 RPM Hitachi Travelstar 7K100, which recorded a 28-second load time from the moment I pressed the power button to the moment the Windows Login screen was displayed. It's important to note that this particular Dell notebook consumes almost 11 seconds on the POST routine and pre-loading prior to starting Windows, so it's not realistic to think that my results would match another system identically.
The primary purpose of this test was to demonstrate that a Solid State Drive could in fact cut the Windows load time in half. In regards to the Mtron Pro 7500, I could subtract the preloading time for POST and other BIOS routines and be left with a 6-second boot-up time. Conversely, with the same benefit given to the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100, the resulting boot-up time is still 18 seconds - 300% longer.
Disk Hardware
In the next section, I begin to summarize my final thoughts on the Mtron Pro 7500 series as well as Solid State Drives in general. Please continue on to see what I think of SSD technology.

Brent, with the help of his children, is on a quest to finish his towering castle that is isolated deep in the Carolina mountains. But the apocalypse he fears might shy in comparison to the clash of characters of his five children as they try to live and work together to prepare for the worst. If doomsday comes, will this family survive to rule the mountains, or will it self-destruct before the castle is ever completed?

At RISE Club on Saturday night, veteran UK DJ and track-maker DANNY HOWELLS dropped a five-hour set on an almost full-house dance floor. Actual five-hour sets come rarely to Boston house music fans, but when they do, they separate the masters from the blasters. Two hours, a reasonably dextrous DJ can usually manage without losing edge; not so with a five-hour performance. Howells, however, had a trick in hand; he divided his five hours into two sets very dissimilar. Many long-playing DJs do that, too; usually when they do it, the second set lacks the fire of the first. Not so with Howells. There was as much, if not more, improvisational fizz in his second, emphatically techno set, than in his tribal funk, first 150 minutes of continuous trip.
Howells's first roll-out featured much of his currently popular work including either "Psychotic Bump" and "Liquid Thang" or edited versions thereof. Once upon a time a maker of "trance" sounds, Howells today likes funky, murmuring, and lullaby bottoms, triplet beats, and talking top notes of many kinds -- disco girls chanting, soft-skinned boy voices, raunchy divas. It's a sound as dreamy as dance-inducing, and impalpably horny, an orgasm of the mind given spin by the body.
Using three channels in the RISE CD player system and no PC program, Howells dropped one dreamy traipse after another, a leggy strut; there was also plenty of mid-register silence, giving the music room to parade and breathe. The dancers, too. At times his first-set sound recalled UK "garage" of the late 1990s: its delicate soulfulness and even more delicate beat bop, relaxing push-push and bright-soft with jazzy flutings. Into which from time to time Howells infused a bigger, boomy boot-stomp -- how fun, indeed.
There was little editing in his first set, but in his second he held back nothing of the DJ arts. Overlays of melodic warble and deep funk basslines; cuts from trippy noise abstractions to tribal percussion, done solo and out front; fade knob switching from one overlaid sound to the other, and back again with a different overlay; stutter-knob repeats to jack a vocal; high vibe fusion lines and low reverb. In his second set Howells also played stuff that only his present fans' parents might have danced to: late disco -- Europop especially -- and much 1980s Italo-techno, even a Montreal club hit version -- 1980s disco guys almost all remember Nancy Martin's "Can't Believe," with its deadpan horniness and loud droll, uber-Giorgio Moroder reverb bass line. There it was, embedded lustfully in Howells's rolling, roiling techno.
Howells too was feeling the feel. He danced at the mix-board. His head bobbed. Raised his hands in the air. Only RISE's most persistent dancers remained to feel his second set reach its peak of free form, but Howells well rewarded them.
Sounds jumped each other with joyous inconsistency, as he cut from techno to tribal to the two blended, as Victor Calderone showed DJs how but in no way the same sound. One strain of tribal tech dissolved into another, glitch voices tooled in to grin and growl, and finally he played a soaring Kate Bush-like voice going "It don't matter to me" -- which one has the right to say after so many hours of diligent deftness of twist and breathe.
It was the first Howells performance this writer has attended. Does he rise to such eloquence often? Even if not, the set placed Howells in this writer's top list of DJ expression, soundscape management, improvisation, and edge.

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Isabel Lorenzo, Economic Program Intern
On Saturday, July 21, 2012, The National NAACP Economic Department and Environmental and Climate Justice Department will bring its Gulf Financial Capacity Building Initiative to Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana. The initiative provides economic education and resources to communities of colors financially devastated by the Gulf Oil Drilling Disaster and Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike.
The Gulf Financial Capacity Building Initiative will supply local residents with access to hands on financial education expertise through partnering organizations, including the Mississippi Center for Justice, Operation Hope, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Financial Planning Association. The Initiative will also offer holistic credit counseling and guidance on credit rehabilitation, tax liability and filing insurance claims, and money management.
Dedrick Muhammad Senior Director of the NAACP Economic Department says of the Gulf Financial Capacity Building Initiative that "one of the foundations of the NAACP Economic work is to empower local communities with the necessary education, resources and partnerships to develop sustainable economic models that advance diversity and equity. We see this initiative as an important piece of this work."
The Gulf Financial Capacity Building Initiative is free and open to NAACP leadership and community residents who are interested in learning how to coordinate financial planning and education efforts in their community.
To register for the Gulf Financial Capacity Building Initiative or if you have any questions, please contact Lillian Bowie, Director of Economic Research and Strategic Partnerships, NAACP Economic Department at 202-478-6400 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Want to help your groom look his best when it's time to say I Do? Of course the answer is yes! And we've got just the thing to ensure his wedding day look is dapper, and not a dud!
Here are the basics...
A Classic Tux, Defined - A suit of black or midnight-blue wool with a lapel of satin or grosgrain, the collar preferably peaked to distinguish it from the notch style favored for business wear.
White NOT Black - For the shirt your groom wears beneath his perfect tux.
Shoulder Fit - Should hug your groom's natural shoulder shape.
Pants Length - Should barely graze your groom's shiny shoes, NOT appear to puddle on top of them.
High Armhole - Although he'll have to sacrifice a tad of mobility, a high armhole on the tux jacket flatters the groom's physique.
Off the Cuff - A quarter to half inch of the groom's tuxedo shirt cuffs should peek out from beneath his jacket.
One Cuff is Enough - When it comes to cuffed tuxedo pants, just say no! The hem of your groom's pants should end with a modest break, and not a chunky cuff.
So now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at some winning groom looks that put a stylish spin on tradition.
A Pop of Color... We attended a Black Tie wedding in Milwaukee recently, and couldn't stop talking about one of the guest's tuxedos. It was a deep midnight blue with black accents (similar to the Brioni style above), and it would be oh so elegant for a fall or winter wedding!
Luxurious Texture... Although the wine-hued tux above delivers a major pop of color, it also brings a luxe touch of texture to the table. And you've got to love that! But if an all-on velvet tux jacket is a bit much for your style-shy groom, one with minimal velvet trim is a fabulous alternative. Or, he can pair a classic tux with a smart velvet bow tie!
And now... onto the accessories!
Below are a handful of bow ties (and one classic necktie) we absolutely adore for your groom's white aisle walk...
So lovely brideys, what do you think? Ready to give your groom a little style lesson on dressing for the wedding? Sound off below!

looking for used 5 gallon buckets
I am looking for used 5 gallon buckets will pay 25 cents each and need about 100 if you can help
Try your local grocery store.... they usuall have stacks in the back room from bulk products.
Try fast food chains. They usually get them full of pickles.
I was just thinking of the same thing prowall. My folks ran a restaurant for several years and we stockpiled quite a few pickle buckets. It takes awhile to get rid of the smell.. but otherwise just like any other 5 gallon bucket :)
try guys that hang drywall they use 5 gal. buckets of compound
If you live near a large bakery, you could probably get a lot of them there.
I get most of mine from the drywall guys, just wash out the remaining mud stuff and it's a nice bucket. I have gotten some from the fast food places when I see them stacked up out back also.
5 years later ya think they are still looking ??? :whistling2:
Hey, I'm always looking for buckets. I think a lot of other people are too, most of the local restaurants charge for them now. :(
loacl place that MAKES ice cream has them by the hundreds. If you know somebody that works there they are free. If not small price. they usually have plastic barrels too.

ASUS is bringing USB 3.0 to AMD systems
Subject: General Tech | January 15, 2010 - 12:13 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The name is still a mystery, but the pictures at Elite Bastards tell a story of ASUS' new board. The AM3 socket is obvious and the connectors include HDMI, DVI and VGA connectors so you can also be confident that there is onboard graphics, though it is hard to say that it will be a 785G board. The big news that ASUS gave out along with the pictures is that the board will support SATA6 and USB 3.0, features that are very rare right now.
Upgrading graphics - So easy, a monkey can do it!
Subject: General Tech | January 14, 2010 - 02:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It's been a hot season for PC gamers, with the recent releases of games
like DiRT 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. To get the most
out of these games - to play at the best frame rates, at higher
resolutions, and with the most eye candy turned on - a graphics upgrade
might be in order, and, for some of your readers, that prospect may be a
bit daunting.
Battle of the eBook readers: No guts; no glory
Subject: General Tech | January 14, 2010 - 11:58 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It has been a long time since the days when AMD and Intel had cage matches with sideshows involving Motorola, Texas Instruments and Cyrix. The surviving competitors are aged and a bit tired, now content for occasional one-upmanship as opposed to major battles. Now the only real conflict is between their lawyers on the courtroom floor; there is nothing along the lines of the race for 1GHz or the bizarre non-sequiturs like the 686 processor.

MechWarrior: Living Legends is a total conversion mod for Crysis which turns the game into a multiplayer BattleTech Arena battleground. It is in open beta right now, letting you try out the almost completely finished game for your own. The game rewards you for kills so that you can build credits to buy heavier mechs, as you first start you can only afford light mechs, ground vehicles

Waiting for the first Windows 7 service pack?

If you are waiting for Win7 SP1, then Slashdot has some good news for you as they have some information on what it will be, if not when. The Service Pack for Windows 7 has not been demanded with the same fervour as the Service Pack for Vista, partially due to the fact that a strong argument exists that Win7's identity was changed from being a complete change to Windows, with the MinWin kernel and a new file system into being a quick and dirty replacement for Vista.

Razer's new Imperator mouse eschews the fancy bat wings and LCD screens we have seen on mice recently, opting for a clean look. That doesn't mean there are no features included, for instance the thumb buttons have the ability to slide backwards and forwards to place it in exactly the right spot. The included software allows for programming the 7 buttons as well as the scroll wheel as well as vary the DPI from 100 to 5600 and even lets you program

Subject: General Tech | January 12, 2010 - 12:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Not so long ago, just before 64bit OSes hit the mainstream market, there was many a flame war fought between proponents of different RAM amounts for systems. The majority focused on the differences between 1GB and 2GB as well as the number of DIMMs used to reach those amounts. Today you can drop in on Bjorn3D as they compare the relative merits of 6GB versus 12G

Of course, just because your neighbours are unhappy is no reason to abandon positional audio in either gaming or while watching movies.

Secure Socket Layer is obsolete, so if you still refer to SSL connections it is time you meet Transport Layer Security, aka TLS or SSL/TLS. TLS is a must in e-commerce, or any site that wants to ensure that any traffic between the server and a remote computer is encrypted so that it is much harder to intercept or change. VPNs can be unwieldy for someone who simply wants to set up a server to share family movies or other media and getting a proper certificate from a certificate authority tends to cost money.

Call it mobile computing or ubiquitous computing, the fact is that people want smart devices which can connect to the internet, carry around huge amounts of data and don't weigh much. One of the last analog holdouts is the book, but thanks to significant changes in technology the e-book is now here to stay. They have been around in various configurations previously but never caught on; Amazon changed all of that a few short years ago. Ars Technica postulates that 2010 will be the year of the e-book and from the examples we have been seeing this week at CES and from press rele
Razer Announces new XBOX 360 Peripherals - More Evidence of PC Gaming Decay?

Razer, the company best known for their PC peripherals for gamers, has announced two new products for the XBOX 360: the Onza gamepad, and the Chimera headset. The Onza is particularly interesting as it is a wired controller and does away with the D-Pad in favour of a 4-way button set. Being a USB peripheral, I wonder if it will work successfully on Windows?

If you are annoyed by the moniker 'God Mode' when it comes to the string that you can add to a folder name to create a super charged control panel then you may have forgotten your gaming history. So called 'Cheat Codes' exist because developers have always allowed themselves back doors and shortcuts in order to test their programs. It was hard to see how a level looked overall without no-clipping and looking for textures that don't match can be hard without God Mode enabled.

Simply go into starbucks as you usually would. Discretely carrying and purchase your coffee, be sure to tell the baristas and or manager why you are there providing your support that day and thank them for supporting the US Constitution and a free persons right to bear arms. Tip well and go on about your day.
Flaunting it with an AR-15 or Remington 870 hanging off your back will impact the general public more negatively than being a quiet, humble, grateful firearm owner. I can seriously equate it to the homosexual crowd who feels the need to flaunt their gayness in public to show the world they are gay, instead of just going about their business as they usually do. There is no reason for it and it only continues to develop the negative stereotype people have about them. So do what you want to do.
Just my opinion on the matter, but do what you want.... it is a free country and you have the right and freedom to make a donkey of yourself in public. Even if it makes the rest of us look bad.
BDU styled vests, boots, thigh rigs, bug out gear, AR15s? Sounds like they just need to wear some shemaghs, Wiley X goggles, kneepads, and a tactical katana to complete the ensemble.
These types of buffoons are exactly the type of people the media latches onto when mentioning open carry. They never talk about guys like me, who wear their day to day wardrobe, taking the kids to Walmart to do some shopping, while carrying a handgun on their hip. That is, if the cameraman can even get them on video. Those commando types have ninja powers, you see, and it's next to impossible to get them on video.

It's a huge business and anything they say/do can have a huge effect on that business.
I go to Starbucks on the way to my shooting range. My buddy and I carry concealed. There are no anti-weapon signs. We sip our coffee and talk and eat a roll or something. Nobody bothers us and we don't bother anybody.
I confess I am NOT a fan of open carry. To me, it's completely and totally unnecessarily provocative. And I just don't get it.
If I owned a business, as pro-gun as I am, I would feel nervous having people in my establishment flashing guns. Anti-gun people and just normal folks who aren't particularly comfortable around firearms would conceivably be scared off.
As I said, I don't get open carry.
What the heck is the point???
Or were you referring to "Flashing" while carrying a gun! That would be even worse!
I don't open carry and have never been to a Starbucks as I don't drink coffee or anything they sell. I do CCW to several other places that serve Sweet Tea at Lunch time when I drink a caffeen drink.

How to Apply
How do I apply to a program at the Gillings School of Global Public Health?
Each of our programs has a different set of criteria, application expectations and application deadlines.
Fill out the Prospective Student Inquiry Form to request more information about a particular program or degree.
The application process involves a few basic steps.
- Choose the appropriate application steps for the program of your choice. You can find tailored information and application instructions for each program using the Gillings Program Search (GPS). Simply choose a program on the GPS, and then select the "Application Details" of that program.
- Review tuition and fees to determine whether additional steps are needed.
- Apply to your program.
- If you're admitted and enroll, we'll refund your Graduate School application fee.
- Check your eligibility on the Reimbursement Statement for Fall 2017 (PDF).
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to assemble the best application package possible because we receive more than 2,000 applications each year. We look forward to reviewing yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
I am submitting my application to a Gillings School graduate program through SOPHAS. Why am I also expected to apply directly to UNC-Chapel Hill and pay another fee?
At UNC-Chapel Hill, applicants interested in graduate programs apply and are admitted through The UNC Graduate School rather than to specific departments or schools. The UNC Graduate School charges its own application fee.
Can you give me an idea of general criteria used to review applications to the Gillings School's graduate programs?
Use the GPS to find specific details on each program's criteria and expectations for applicants. Our admissions committees review each application using some or all of the following criteria:
- Academics (academic performance and test scores)
- Work experience
- Research experience
- Letters of recommendation
- Program fit (as assessed by your personal statement and background)
Prospective graduate students also should review The Graduate School's admissions criteria.
What should I include in my personal statement?
- Address all issues requested in the program's application materials.
- Demonstrate that your career goals have been well-considered.
- Demonstrate that you understand what the program offers and demands.
- Provide details of any experience relevant to your program of interest.
- Highlight strengths, but don't dwell on facts readily evident elsewhere (e.g., grades, GRE scores).
- If you can identify weaknesses in your application, admissions committee members likely will be able to identify them, too. Address weaknesses directly by explaining extenuating circumstances as appropriate or providing evidence that your skill levels are reflected more accurately by some other assessment. These details may be included in your statement of interest.
Who should write my letters of recommendation?
You should submit a mix of academic and professional recommendation letters.
- Recommenders should speak about your strengths and degree of "fit" with the department to which you are applying.
- Avoid soliciting letters from family friends, other students or employees you supervise.
- The ideal recommender knows you well and is positive about you. That knowledge should come through in the letter.
I've been waiting to hear whether I was admitted to the program of my choice. When will I hear from you?
The UNC Graduate School typically notifies students of its admissions decisions between February and May.
I'm interested in transferring from another institution to one of your programs. Is that feasible? And if so, how?
All prospective students, including those with previous college credits in related degree programs, must complete an application as a new student. Individual departments may or may not accept credits earned at another institution. Such decisions typically are based on a review of course syllabi by the program director.
Do your programs accept transfer credits?
Master's students may transfer up to 20 percent of the credits required for a degree. Credit transfers must be approved by the UNC program in which you are enrolled and by the UNC Graduate School.
Still have questions?
Contact the student services staff member who supports your program of interest.
