In a love tarot reading, the Queen of Cups often represents a deep, emotional and appealing woman. Men often find her the ideal mate. She is extremely nurturing and provides a solid foundation for her relationships and family. People are naturally drawn to her and rely on her for support. She typically does not have too much difficulty finding romantic relationships. She is a powerful mother archetype and symbolizes compassion, love and femininity. She tends to be highly intuitive and very creative.
When you draw the Queen of Cups in a love tarot reading it usually indicates that you need to follow your heart and trust your own intuition. If you find yourself having vivid dreams, listen to them as your unconscious may be trying to tell you something. It's important that you express your feelings and allow yourself to get vulnerable in your love life. You need to be aware, however, that you can attract partners that may have a tendency in becoming overly dependent on you. The Queen of Cups can indicate that you may need to set some clear boundaries in your romantic relationships.
If you are single, it's important to first recognize what your own needs are. Because attracting love can come easily to you, it's vital that you determine exactly what you are looking for in a relationship. You are in a position to choose from a variety of potential partners. Make sure you listen to your own gut as to the type of relationship you want. If communicating your feelings has proved to be difficult for you, now is the time to start sharing your ideas and feelings with others. The more you do this, the more likely you will draw a long lasting relationship into your life.
For those of you in a committed relationship, the Queen of Cups tarot card indicates that your relationship is based on a deep connection and authentic feelings. These tend to be the post powerful and long lasting relationships. In a love tarot reading, the Queen of Cups can indicate the need to create an atmosphere that encourages the expression of your love for each other. Allow yourself to become vulnerable with your partner as this will only draw your partner closer.

Flaherty takes active role in search for central bank head
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's finance minister will interview candidates for governor of the Bank of Canada, his office said on Wednesday in an unusual announcement that highlights the central role the minister intends to play in the recruitment process.
Mark Carney is stepping down as governor of the Bank of Canada in June to head the Bank of England, and the process of finding his replacement is under way. Tiff Macklem, currently the senior deputy governor, is considered the front runner.
An external recruiting firm, Odgers Berndtson, has advertised the position, and a special committee of the Bank of Canada's board of directors has the task of compiling a list of potential candidates for the job.
The federal cabinet must approve all Bank of Canada governor appointments.
The bank's committee will work in "close consultation" with the finance minister, Jim Flaherty, to review the list of initial candidates, the statement said on Wednesday.
"Once fully vetted, the special committee will then recommend a roster of qualified candidates to the minister for him to interview," the Department of Finance said in a statement without giving a timeline.
It is standard practice for the finance minister to be involved in interviewing and meeting with prospective future governors, but market players don't remember the government ever being this assertive in stating how active it will be in the process.
"Ultimately, the government approves the choice of governor, so I don't see it as unusual for Mr. Flaherty to interview the top candidates," said Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at the Bank of Montreal. "I agree, I don't recall it being broadcast last time, but that may just be a reflection of the now-intense focus on the Bank of Canada more generally," he said. Continued...

Certain things in life are as ancient as dirt. Or as ancient as hide glue. Archeologists confirm hide glue use at least as far back as ancient Egypt. Hide glue was utilized by Egyptian carpenters to construct sarcophagi, and artists used it as a pigment binder to paint the surfaces of these elaborately ornamented burial boxes for the pharaohs.
Ancient as it may be, animal hide glue has certain properties that make it extremely desirable, even in the 21st century. One of its chief beneficial properties is that guitars assembled with this glue can be repaired more easily, and with less damage than the ones assembled with synthetic adhesives.
To prepare a batch of hide glue for use, it is soaked in cold water, allowed to swell, and then heated until it is dissolved. Lately, I've been using antique (late 1800′s) cast iron glue pots. They are somewhat collectible, fancier, decorative examples fetching a pretty penny on ebay. A glue pot is basically a double-boiler, meant to heat the glue gently, without cooking it, and destroying its adhesive properties.
Hide glue consists of rendered animal collagen, extracted from skins and tannery byproducts. It is similar in nature to food-grade gelatin. With proper technique, wood joinery with hide glue is strong, with nearly invisible glue lines. When needed, glue joints can be released cleanly, without tearing-up the wood and destroying delicate surfaces of guitar soundboards, braces, etc. Most modern synthetic adhesives lack this quality of reversibility.
Traditional glues have been largely supplanted by modern synthetic adhesives, although not entirely. Some luthiers, museum conservators, period furniture restorers and woodworkers, along with a few other specialty trades continue to rely on the time-tested animal glues.
I've done a number of experiments over the years, trying to better understand the nuances of hot hide glue.
Hide glue has a pleasant, honey-like consistency. Even the way it flows off of the brush reminds me of my childhood, working with my dad, grandpa and uncles at the family apiary. As I use the glue, I constantly monitor its consistency and flow. From time to time, additional water needs to be added to replace the moisture lost to evaporation.
A good friend who is a talented ceramics and clay artist helped me make some ceramic inner pots to compliment the original cast iron ones. The original inner pots were made of cast iron and had an enamel coating inside. Over the years, the force of drying glue stripped the enamel, exposing the cast iron below. This rusty iron oxide has a tendency to stain the glue. While slightly brownish glue may not be problematic for darker woods, spruce glue lines would benefit from clean, unstained glue. This is where this new ceramic inner pot comes handy!
Here is an example a couple of different grades of glue, and the way the look in dry form, before they are mixed with water and heated. On the left is pearl glue, and ground hide glue on the right.
If I were to keep only one glue in my shop….it would be the good stuff–hide glue!
The following is for lutherie geeks only (since you are still reading)! :)
Over the years, I've experimented with different glue-heating setups, from larger commercial pots, to DIY, re-purposed contraptions. The one below was made from a yard sale special, a water heating pot. After all, we just need a warm water jacket around our glue vessel. Not the fanciest set-up, but it worked okay. The temperature control (rheostat) on this tea pot was not very sensitive, and maintaining stable temperature was a bit tricky.
I also used the same pot with a baby food jar, installed in the original teapot lid (modified with an opening to accommodate the glass jar).
Here is a hefty, cast aluminum large capacity glue pot, with a solid copper liner. It was manufactured under Sta-Warm brand in the USA. I thought this pot was a higher-quality, sturdier version of a better-known Hold-Heet glue pot, which is still available through woodworking stores and luthiery supply houses. After using it a bit, I sold my Sta-Warm behemoth as it was too large for my needs. Otherwise, it was an excellent example of a plug-in type pot.
Currently, I use a laboratory hotplate to heat my glue pots. I like the absence of electrical cords around my bench. These antique glue pots are the original cordless equipment! Cast iron + water have enough mass and sufficient heat capacity to allow me to glue for 15-20 minutes before the pots need to return to the hotplate.
Slightly off-topic, but still related to hide glue….the glue brush. Traditionally, they are made without metal, in order to prevent the glue from becoming stained or discolored. A traditional glue brush can be purchased from a violin supply house, or even better, it can be made in house! All that's needed is a few minutes and some bristles.
Glue…the difference between a guitar, and a pile of kindling.

Scabies Scare
Just home from the office and on call. Once again, I keep on learning and laughing with my patients. I saw a mom, dad and their two young boys last evening. The boys were about 4 and 6. When I walked into the room, it was so quiet, and then I realized that their clever mother had them playing the quiet game. Seems I lost as I talked first!
She brought the boys in that evening as she had just gotten a note from the school that there had been several cases of scabies in her son's class. In her words, she freaked out and decided a trip to the pediatrician was necessary.
So, when I asked her if the boys had a rash or had been complaining of being itchy, she just looked at me? No there was none of that, it was just the whole idea that they might have SCABIES?! Of course she had been online and could identify the mite if necessary. She was certain that I needed to treat the boys, and maybe she and her husband? She just said ,do whatever you have to do!
She then decided that maybe we should worry about lice as well, as don't these yucky bugs go together? Luckily, her precious little boys had crew cuts, so that was an easy rule out.
So, seeing that they did not have any rashes, really no complaints other than maternal anxiety (we moms are good at that), I told her all was well. She seemed okay with that except she didn't want to send her children back to school until the school exterminated the whole building and she thought she would wash all of their sheets and vacuum her house that night.
I had to laugh as I told her there would always be germs and bugs around, no matter how clean we try to be. In fact, one of my own children had scabies many years ago and it took an allergist to diagnose him - no one had thought about scabies, but boy did he have a rash!
I guess she felt a bit better knowing that my son now an adult had lived through it and her kids really did need to go back to school to learn to read! Just keep up good hand washing, and don't look for problems - I promised her she would know if they got scabies and the rash - it is hard to ignore!

I'd been looking forward to Shintaro Miyake's Beaver No Seikatsu ("Life of Beaver") for weeks. For his first major show in the US, the 35-year-old Tokyo artist would create a pond filled with real water, a dam, beaver lodges, and drawings of beavers and kayakers. He'd present a beaver mockumentary. And for the first three days, he'd don a plush beaver get-up and draw on the walls. What could be cooler?
When I arrived at MassArt for the opening on February 7, the place was packed with art-student hipsters, some faculty, a cute short-haired girl wearing an "I ♥ beavers" T-shirt, a few Newbury Street nabobs, and a handful of parents and kids. The artist appeared in beaver garb and proceeded to scribble more beavers and kayakers on the support columns of the gallery as people crowded in to see. It was the kind of crowd where you unconsciously scan for exits. Clearly I was in the right place.
Miyake is the sort of artist who obsessively doodles cartoony girls on razor scooters, Star Wars heroes, pink Godzillas, bikini babes surfing atop jellyfish. His signature shtick is sketching on gallery walls or wandering the streets dressed as a plush rabbit, a round space alien, a kabuki actor, or a smiling pink-skinned blonde. In Italy, he jogged around the Colosseum dressed as a Minotaur and then "fought" a giant squid that bled helium-filled balloons.
He works in the international style a pal of mine has dubbed "Cute Brut." Cute Brut adopts cute pop looks but cuts that cuteness with adult concerns and folkie or Art Brut techniques. The cuteness is a critique of traditional gender roles (i.e., real men don't do cute), but these artists take it for granted that cartooning is a language that can take on any subject. Recent specimens around the city have included Brooklyn artist Misaki Kawai's clunky paintings at Allston Skirt Gallery, the Paper Rad gang from East Hampton at Second Gallery (through March 10), and Boston artist Misa Saburi's little wooden effigies at the Boston Center for the Arts (through March 19).
When I returned to MassArt a couple of days later, I found Beaver (Miyake in costume) still doodling on the gallery's columns and a steady stream of people wandering in and out. One room had a pond filled with real water and stuffed beaver dolls perched on lodges. In a second room, a souvenir stand offered beaver trinkets, and an alcove featured actual beaver skeletons and pelts borrowed from Harvard. On the walls hung Miyake's pencil and watercolor drawings of giant beavers gnawing bare trees and cavorting around lodges in ponds divided by dams made of upright sticks. Miniature houses appeared in the drawings, alone or clustered in dense villages. Smiling kayakers paddled about while freaked-out outdoorsmen howled from shore.

Council calls for Bukovich's resignation
LAKE SHORE — The Lake Shore City Council has formally called for the resignation of council member John Bukovich. Bukovich was cited with misdemeanor shoplifting of $225 in merchandise from Gander Mountain in Baxter on Sunday, June 24.
Bukovich was not present at the special meeting Monday morning when the motion to call for his resignation was passed unanimously.
The council also unanimously voted to revoke Bukovich's title as deputy mayor and appointed council member Doug Miller to the position.
City Attorney Steve Qualley explained that there are certain conditions in which the council could remove Bukovich from the council, but none of those conditions had yet been met.
Qualley said that if a council member is convicted of certain crimes, that council member can be removed from office. Bukovich has not been convicted, though he has been charged.
"I don't think you're in a position at this time where you could require any particular council person to vacate their seat," Qualley said.
At the council's last regular monthly meeting held Monday, June 25, Bukovich offered to resign if the council so wished. However, Bukovich has not yet turned in a formal letter of resignation or formally resigned at a council meeting.
Qualley said that until a formal resignation was received, the council could not declare a seat open or appoint a new council member.
Bukovich is up for re-election this November. If Bukovich chooses not to resign and legal criteria for removal are not met he may remain in his position until his term ends at the end of December.
In addition to the June 24 shoplifting charge, Bukovich was also charged with misdemeanor shoplifting from Mill's Fleet Farm in 2008. He fought that charge and it was dismissed. He has blamed both incidents on a medication he is taking.
Bukovich did not respond to calls for comment Monday.

By Majid ibn Abdur-Rahman – Writer
What type of men would you like to see in our Ummah, the community of Prophet Muhammad (sa)? What constitutes a man? Is it the moustache or the beard? There are so many who have both.
Manhood does not depend upon years. We can often see a seventy-year-old man with the heart of a child: he rejoices over trivial entertainment, sheds tears over petty issues, covets what he does not possess, and greedily clenches whatever falls into his small hands, so that others would not play with it. He simply is a small child with a moustache and beard.
However, by the grace of Allah (swt), there are children who, despite their young age, can be extremely manly in their words, deeds, thoughts, and noble behaviour.

I filled out all the personal information requested and then found out that they charge a fee for the service. I am sick of being surprised by hidden fees. They should be up front and inform you of the fees Before You Fill Out Your Personal Info. I paid the fee using my credit card. Once I received the report on the individual I was checking on, the info was very limited. There is a place that says "Details" but the info is sparce and unusable. Naturally, for an ADDITIONAL FEE you can get an expanded report (another surprise fee). (I feel certain I could have gotten the information they provided by using free sites on the internet.)
You have to call them to cancel your account or they will bill you every month until you call and cancel.
I tried to call and cancel but they said my account was too new and I would have to call back after their system updates.
This is typical of the way internet services advertise and market their products. I hate it and have decided to no longer do business with any internet company that markets their product using this (sneaky) method.

Sheriff, D.A. begin final rounds of budget hearings
Zellerbach, Sniff start off week-long budget review
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach and Sheriff Stan Sniff are scheduled Monday to provide the Board of Supervisors with a rundown on their respective agencies' fiscal plans for 2012-13 in the face of continuing revenue challenges.
Watch the meeting live online by clicking here.
Zellerbach and Sniff will be the first department heads to make presentations next week during what is expected to be the final round of budget hearings before the start of the 2012-13 fiscal year, which is July 1.
According to the county Executive Office, public safety agencies -- which consume 75 percent of county discretionary funds -- are facing budget cuts averaging 5 percent.
Other agencies will have to absorb cuts averaging 9 percent.
Executive Officer Jay Orr has proposed a $39 million reduction in total discretionary spending to close the county's structural budget deficit by the end of the next fiscal year.
In a preface to the recommended 2012-13 budget, Orr said more than 200 positions likely will have to be slashed from county payrolls.
He noted, however, that some displaced employees will be eligible for transfers to agencies with existing vacancies that need to be filled.
"The budget reflects the challenges of an economy recovering sluggishly from the `Great Recession,' Orr wrote. "We must be willing to continue adjusting operating costs to remain consistent with revenue and eliminate our structural deficit."
A budget update in May indicated the county would have $23 million in red ink because of a revenue shortfall in the next fiscal year. That overage could grow larger if property tax revenues come in less than expected, according to county officials.
Assessor-Clerk-Recorder Larry Ward is slated to report the county's 2012-13 property tax assessment roll in July.
Currently, property tax receipts are predicted to decline about 2 percent, from $266 million in the current fiscal year to $260 million in 2012-13, according to the budget report. It also indicated the county will have about $154 million in discretionary reserves in 2012-13, down about $5 million from this year.
Total appropriations proposed for the next fiscal year come to $4.67 billion, compared to $5.1 billion in 2011-12, about a 9 percent drop.
Those expenditures are covered through federal and state "pass-through" funds, county discretionary income and revenue from special districts.
The board is expected to tentatively approve the 2012-13 fiscal blueprint before July 1.
The final product will not be ratified until September, after county officials have had time to factor new variables into the spending plan, including how the state budget will impact counties.

The 2Integrated Homicide Investigation Team identified the man found burned on Colebrook Road Sunday as 29-year-old Delta resident Amritpal (Paul) Saran.
Saran had numerous run-ins with the law and was due in court Wednesday on a charge of assaulting a peace officer.
IHIT spokesman Cpl. Adam MacIntosh said in a news release that while Saran was "known to police," he was not believed to have any gang affiliation.
"Just over twenty-four hours into this investigation, IHIT investigators and the Surrey RCMP are beginning the task of tracing the last days and hours of Mr. Saran's life in an effort to determine the motive and who is responsible for his death," he said.
Earlier, IHIT's Cpl. Bari Emam said Surrey RCMP was called to the rural location about 12:08 p.m. after the discovery of the body.
"At this point I am confirming that IHIT is taking over the case from the Surrey RCMP. Initial details and observations by the attending officers indicate that this is a homicide. We are only hours into this investigation and cannot confirm the gender or the identity of the victim," Emam said in a release.
Emam confirmed that the body was burned, making it difficult for investigators to determine the gender of the person.
Just last month, the body of another murder victim, Jaskaran Singh Sandhu, were also found on Colebrook Road a short distance from where the latest body was located.
Surrey has had a violent beginning to 2013.
Last week, the body of Vimal Chand was found in a car across from an elementary school, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Sandhu, who had survived a Coquitlam shooting and had gang links, was found dead on Jan. 28.
On Jan. 15, long-time gangster Manjinder (Manny) Hairan was shot to death near 127 Street and 112B Avenue. Another gangster also linked to Dhak – Jujhar Khun-Khun – was seriously wounded in the shooting.
Just two days earlier, another Dhak associate named Manjot Singh Dhillon was killed in a targeted shooting near 168 Street and 76 Avenue.
The same night two drug dealers John Edward McGiveron and Geordie Wesley Carlow, both 33, were shot to death in a parkade of an apartment complex at 9450 128th Street.

Sooo...some of you are not into lace knitting, am I right? For those of you (ok, us) who shy away from lace, let's talk about good, solid, new-to-us stitch patterns. If this summer is, for you, about trying new stitches with very little commitment, then our Loganberry Dishcloth Tutorial has just what you need! Make a few today and fall in love with these tiny bobbles, so easy to memorize and fun to create. You'll not only be left with a great stitch pattern to use again and again, you'll have a dishcloth that's useful, too!

Lace is really hard for me. I've tried it a few times and had no good results. I'm resolving to try again, however, and in doing so, I'm going to start with the basics. As much as I would love to try the patterns in Joyful Lace, and go forth with our new 100% silk yarn, Luminance, I will start small. So I'm going to cast on with our cotton yarn Dishie, and try to knit a Lacy Spa Cloth. With a super repeatable pattern that I can memorize really quickly, I think this will be a fast project where I can repeat my yarn overs and get used to how things look on the needles, before I progress to larger patterns. The texture reminds me of those string market bags you see at the Farmer's Market all summer long. Maybe I'll try my hand at one of those, next! If you want to learn to knit a Lacy Spa Cloth, here are some handy links: Lacy Spa Cloth Free Pattern Dishie Yarn

Have you downloaded the Jazz Age Crochet Washcloth pattern yet? I have, and like many people somewhat new to crochet, I was not very confident that I have what it takes to make one. If this sounds like you, fear no more! We have a new video tutorial that will teach you all the key steps to crocheting your very own Jazz Age Washcloth. So grab some yarn (any will do, though the pattern suggests CotLin and that's what Jenny uses for the video), a crochet hook (we use a 4mm hook, though gauge isn't so important for a washcloth), watch the tutorial, and complete your very own Jazz Age Washcloth!

aka: Learning to knit something besides scarves. As the newest member of the Knit Picks team, I have a lot to learn! I am fairly new to knitting... although I've known how to knit for years, until I came to work at Knit Picks I hadn't made anything more complicated than a garter-stitch scarf. In less than a week of employment I was drooling over yarn and planning out what to create next. It was obvious I was going to need to learn to knit on a more sophisticated level. Fortunately I am surrounded by talented knitters who have been so very patiently helping me! Let me share a bit of my beginning knitter's journey, aka: learning to knit something besides scarves.

suspect the reason I love making blankets so much is that they are basically grown up dishcloths. You get the ease of a dishcloth pattern (think: no shaping!) but the pizazz the size of a blanket affords. This lovely lace pattern is the free Jazz Age dishcloth from our 52 Weeks of Dishcloths: A Kitchen Spectacular. I named it Queen Jane in honor of my little niece who was born just this week. Her adorable siblings held a coronation to install her as High Queen of the Home. Once the bitty Queen is big enough, she'll claim this blanket as her rightful own!

Flooding eases near El Paso/Pueblo County line
Area hit by heavy rain twice this week
EL PASO & PUEBLO COUNTIES, Colo. - Ninety-minute detours due to flooding have ended for people driving through remote areas of southern El Paso County and northern Pueblo County.
The area was hit by heavy rain twice this week, on Saturday and Wednesday nights. Most affected were Hanover Road in El Paso County where part of a bridge washed out, and Overton Road in Pueblo County that was covered twice with floods.
The bridge reopened Friday morning after repairs were done. Overton Road reopened Thursday but flooding and erosion continues in fields on both sides of the road.
"This area probably received around four or five inches of rain in an hour," said Carl Tatum, fire chief for the Hanover Fire Department. "Six culverts came loose. There were trees floating down Hanover Road. "
Tatum said authorities did all they could, given that such a heavy rainstorm is rare for the area.
The partial bridge washout wasn't noticed, said Tatum, until Saturday night when a vehicle became stranded over it.
"The asphalt actually caved in on (the driver) as he was going across," said Tatum. "The damage to the bridge went 15 feet down, and the material underneath was washed away."
Tatum said workers needed 235 yards of concrete mix to fill the bridge chasm and cover it with asphalt.
"But that little bit of rain we got last night has already washed away some of the material," he said.
Tatum said the bridge has washed away at the same point several times before since it was built 17 years ago after another flood.
Also in Pueblo County, workers made great progress on repairing flood damage along Nepesta and Boone Hill East Roads. However, workers said for safety reasons, those roads will remain closed through the weekend.

Cody Ames
Written by The Wolf Point Herald
Cody Ames, 30, of Williston, N.D., died Saturday morning, March 9, 2013, outside of Williston, N.D.
His funeral was held Friday afternoon, March 15, 2013, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 2 p.m. in Williston. Bishop David Parker officiated and interment was in Riverview Cemetery.
Cody Hamlin Ames was born Oct. 19, 1982, to Mike Ames and Jan (Shipp) Ames in Williston, N.D., and was a lifelong resident.
His appreciation for the outdoors began at a young age as he grew up taking regular family trips to the Missouri River and Lake Sakakawea. Every year, he looked forward to family canoe trips down the river, fishing trips to Canada and pheasant hunting with his family and friends. He found a way to spend even more time enjoying the outdoors as he traded in his bicycle for a motorcycle and rode nearly every day.
He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when he was eight years old and served others as a member there.
He was an accomplished member of the Boy Scouts of America and earned the rank of Eagle by working hard and attending many scout camps.
Cody excelled at basketball by honing his skills while playing early morning basketball with his father; his brother, Brandon; and his friends. He carried his basketball talents with him into Williston High School where he found success helping his team make a run through the state tournament.
After high school, Cody attended the University of North Dakota.
Following his return to Williston from UND, Cody married Jessica Klevenberg on May 14, 2005, in Williston. Cody and Jessica started a family together and had four amazing children. He was a family man in every sense of the word. He loved his wife dearly, adored his three daughters and was a very proud father of a son who tried to emulate him in every way.
Cody worked his way through Agri Industries and later Ames Manufacturing until he became an owner of Ames Manufacturing with his brother, Kyle. Ames Manufacturing was perfect for him as he enjoyed the challenge and satisfaction of building, welding, creating and fixing almost anything. One of Cody's favorite things about working was it afforded him the opportunity to spend more time with Kyle. The two were nearly inseparable and Cody relied on Kyle as a neighbor, riding companion, confidant, camping buddy and best friend. He possessed an admirable dedication and loyalty to his job, his family and his friends.
His passion for the river and the outdoors only increased as his family grew. Cody could never have too many family members or friends around him. His joy seemed to increase as the family expanded. Cody was a big guy and he loved everything big. He loved his big Cummins pickup with big wheels, his big Honda motorcycle and his couch big enough for the entire family. He had a big John Deere tractor to take care of his big yard that he needed for his big dog and his big family. But none of these things could measure up to his big warm smile, his big hugs and his even bigger heart.
Cody is survived by his wonderful wife, Jessica, their son, Cooper, and their daughters, Londyn, Brynna and Finley, all of Williston; his parents, Mike and Jan Ames of Williston; his brothers, Brandon Ames of St. George, Utah, and Kyle Ames of Williston; his sisters, Jasmine (Ames) Lindstrom and Lacey (Ames) Forthun, both of Williston; his grandfathers, Lawrence Shipp of Glasgow, Mont., and Richard Ames, Billings, Mont.; and his grandmother, Kay Sullivan of Williston.
Cody was preceded in death by his uncle, Jeff Shipp; and his grandmother, Sally (Boston) Shipp.
All are welcome to visit www.eversonfh.com to share remembrances of Cody or leave condolences with the family.
Friends were able to call at the Everson Funeral Home Thursday from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m., Friday from 9 until 11:30 a.m., and at the church for the hour preceding the funeral.
The Everson Funeral Home of Williston is caring for the family.

Home » RESOURCES » Emergency Mutual Assistance for District Energy (MADE) » 2013 MADE Table Top Exercise
Thursday, October 17, 2013
Mutual aid plans have long been used by electric and gas utilities. IDEA has developed this Mutual Assistance for District Energy (MADE) program to provide a voluntary system for sharing trained personnel resources and emergency equipment among IDEA Member Organizations in the event of such disasters. As a component of the MADE program, an annual Table Top Exercise is to be held.
On October 17, 2013, IDEA system Members were invited to attend the first MADE Table Top Exercise. The event, which was presented as an interactive webinar, simulated an actual emergency scenario affecting a major district energy system.
IDEA hosted this presentation to introduce and walk participants through a rigorous and dramatic training scenario, which will include active roles by MADE Participating Members. All IDEA member systems were invited and encouraged to attend and learn the ropes.
We encourage your inquiries about the MADE Program, which is voluntary and free to IDEA member systems.
For more information about the MADE program, contact IDEA at 508-366-9339 or email@example.com.
Please feel free to invite all colleagues who you feel might benefit to watch the video recording of this free tutorial:

I had a nice, long chat with Bob Plain - head honcho over at the newly revitalized RIFuture blog - this morning over hot chocolate at Small Point Cafe downtown. I'll have a longer piece on him in the next week or so - interesting guy. But one bit I wanted to note today.
The lefty blog has, in recent memory, been known as a place for commentary. And there is still plenty of that. But Plain, who has worked at daily newspapers all over the country, is looking to add a new element - daily journalism. And he is the primary engine of that effort, logging serious time at the State House and reporting on the state's Congressional delegation.
He tells me that David Pepin, recently laid off from the East Greenwich Pendulum, should be on board shortly as a cities-and-towns reporter for the site.
It's part of an interesting, broader trend: a sort of alternate, daily press corps that has sprouted up in competition with the Providence Journal in recent years. That alternate comes in all shapes and sizes: Plain's RIFuture has an obvious political tilt, WPRI-TV blogger Ted Nesi attacks the daily news with an analytical flare, GoLocalProv favors the hard-hitting, the Rhode Island Public Radio crew combines its audio work with blogging.
The ProJo, of course, has long had competition for daily news from more traditional television and radio (WPRO) outlets. Smaller newspapers have also done battle with the Goliath. But this is something new - a small, digital, youthful core that has only become more important with the advent of the ProJo's paywall.
It's size and range, of course, cannot match the Journal's newsroom. It is, though, very much worth watching.


text: I'm sure most guys here are familiar with Will's blog "A Suitable Wardrobe," but it took me a while to catch on as a reader. Now I look at it every day.

Canadian dollar hits seven-and-half month low vs. euro; softer vs. dollar
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was weaker against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, trending with other commodity currencies, as many investors looked to book profits ahead of the holidays following a recent rally to two-month highs.
Canada's dollar ran counter to world shares, which hit 17-month highs, and the surging euro. Investor hopes grew for a year-end budget deal in the United States and for further monetary stimulus from the Bank of Japan.
"I think this is probably some profit-taking heading into the holidays, because the market was quite short USD/CAD. Definitely some technical levels have broken on some of the Canada crosses ... It's had a very decent rally," said David Bradley, director of foreign exchange trading at Scotiabank.
"It's been really strange, the way its traded recently ... Most correlations have broken down."
At 9:07 a.m. (1407 GMT), the Canadian dollar stood at C$0.9873 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0129, weaker than Tuesday's North American finish at C$0.9857, or $1.0145.
Bradley said the currency's strength has stalled around the C$0.9825 level against the U.S. dollar, and noted a lot of interest to sell toward C$0.9882.
Against the euro, it fell to its lowest level since May 1 at C$1.3131, or .7616 euros.
The currency did not react to a smattering of North American data, including Canadian wholesale trade, which expanded by a stronger-than-expected 0.9 percent in October. Continued...

Does Jesus Know You Best?
Marijo Phelps
3/16/2011 / Devotionals
When a voice has the command "SIT" do you look around expecting to see a four legged friend with fur being obedient and placing his or her backside on the ground? Well, sometimes my Lord Jesus and His Holy Spirit know me and what it will take to get my attention even better than I know myself. Yes, He speaks to us in a "still, small voice" but sometimes His voice is strong and has a very commanding presence.
It was on one of those "commanding presence" days in which I seemed to hear Him say:
Sit. Bring your mind into captive concentration on my Word and your Jesus.
There is warfare going on and the spiritual enemies are everywhere and permeate the world BUT mighty is HE who overshadows all, has overcome and is yet to RETURN.
Be a disciplined soldier loved and encouraged as the child you are, SOON to see your FATHER and redeemer!!! Selah. Selah. Selah.
In Romans 8:7 the Word of God says that the sinful mind is hostile to God. It doesn't submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
The above scripture should explain a lot. Looking around in our world today, that scripture seems to touch upon what we are seeing and sensing and going through each and every day of our lives.
A bit further on in Romans 12:2 we are given some really good instructions about not conforming any longer to the pattern of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
Do we need to be transformed? I think most of us would state a resounding YES to that question. One thing I think about too, if the renewing of our minds comes from reading God's word what happens with other sources of information that we put into our minds. Other sources like less than encouraging "entertainment" perhaps TV, videos, books, conversations I get the mental image of a huge vacuum cleaner coming with those sources of stuff going in and sucking our spirits dry. Not a good image at all but think about it for a minute. Then I think about placing God's Word from the Bible or an encouraging devotional in our minds and can see our spirits flourishing in Him.
1 Corinthians 14:15 poses the question and answers it "so what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind."
We aren't just a "mind" and we aren't just a "spirit" we are both surrounded by our earth suit or body. We can talk to God with our minds and our spirit. We can speak in our prayer language to God ("tongues of men and angels") or even sing in tongues. We can communicate with the creator of the universe. Take time. Make time. He is the most important one you will speak to today.
Psalm 135:5
I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. (NIV)
We can be encouraged by 1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (NIV)
The one who is in us would be Jesus in the presence of His Holy Spirit. Jesus has overcome the world!
2 Timothy 2:3 admonished us to endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. I have found over the years that my Jesus will not ask anything of me that He isn't willing to equip me to do. Be encouraged as our Lord Jesus strengthens us to walk in Him in every step we will take today!
Prayer: Oh, Father God, please help us to be good soldiers. Help us to be

And I think I'm ready for a bit of "modern-ness". I'm somewhat challenged by the inability to connect with women here in Turkey. I'm feeling a lack/absence/invisibility of half of the population. It's not that I don't see women on the streets, although by far, men outnumber the women, in every public setting. But it's always the men that will interact with you....and although they are very friendly and generous...I often feel that conversation is one-sided...that it's not shared...and I'd really like to sit and connect with some women. While in Goreme, I had the chance to sit with Perihan, who helped run the hostel. It was only a short time but I so welcomed the opportunity to get a sense of a woman's mind here in this culture that is so different from my own. We could only converse to a limited degree...again a language barrier...but we shared pictures and thoughts and lives for a long moment. I try to see past my cultural ignorance and wonder about the day to day experience of girls and women here. And really, I know I will never be able to fully get it...but that the only valid and appropriate lens through which to view this place is simple acceptance and appreciation for the differences. But I'll be the first to admit that I'm challenged here and that I miss the perspective/energy/presence of women in my experience here.
So far my favorite part of Istanbul...the street market with its throngs of people for blocks and blocks - I've included a video or two to give a sense of the sights and sounds of the marketplace. And walking along the bridge today...chatting with the line-up of fishermen along the rail...pulling in one fish after another...fresh fried fish for sale at all the counters...fishing day and all night...again friendliness is welcoming and genuine.
A Kurdish man stops and chats with us. So far I've only heard negativity towards the Kurds...many have moved away from the more violent parts of the country in the east, relocating to Istanbul. The Turks see them as outsiders, lower casting them. And then, speaking to individuals, hearing personal stories, I can't help but appreciate their struggle. This man tells about watching his brother shot down and then run over and killed by tanks in his home town. His pain is apparent and he wonders why the US is not stepping in and protecting this group of people who are being annihilated. He says we step in Iraq, Afghanistan, we've done it all over the world...why are we not helping the Kurds? And that's the other side of the coin. Right from Oliver in Romania talking about the US being their only hope when Ceaucesceu was tyrannically leading the country to this guy on the dock hoping that the all-powerful US will save his people. And the part of me that feels that the US intervenes way too much and should do a better job at keeping its nose out of other countries affairs, is put right on the line. What is our responsibility in world affairs? We have to acknowledge that we hold a great deal of power in the world...that is supported in the perception of so many people I speak to all over. And what shall we do with that power? How would I feel if my people were under attack? If my life did not hold the freedoms and the opportunity that it in fact does? It is easy for me to take these gifts for granted...but they are not shared by so much of the rest of the world. I think there are no clear and easy answers...all I can say is that hearing and seeing the lives of others gives me pause and causes me to reflect on the lack of simple answers.
And now it's time to return home....off to Budapest yesterday...nice to reconnect with Michael, my couchsurfing friend...today an early flight to Milan and now I'm on my way to JFK... It wasn't easy to leave...but I'm also thrilled about being with my family and friends and would have it no other way. Looking forward to changing my clothes, being able to understand when I eavesdrop, eating some nice green salads, dripping gravy over a juicy turkey, taking a Christmas walk at the beach with two of my favorite people, and homing it up with my friends in Syracuse. And of course, I've got to start brushing up on my Spanish... it's off to South America on the 4th ... Happy Holidays!!!

This past fall a small group of writer friends and I attended the annual Moonlight & Magnolias conference in Atlanta. There were novels given away for free, of course, but since one can never have too many books, I bought a few more.
One that I'm just now reading is "The Accidental Bestseller" by Wendy Wax. It's about four women who meet at their first writers' conference. Ten years later they're still friends and are all published. That was enough to make me buy the book right there: I was with friends at a writers' conference, holding a book about women who become friends at a writers' conference. That it would be a fun read was a no-brainer.
The main POV character suffers one crisis after another, to the point she's barely able to function. The deadline for her next book is steadily getting closer, though, so the other three help by collaborating on the new novel – which happens to be about four women who meet at a writers' conference, become friends and eventually all become published. They split the book into quarters so each woman can write one of the POVs. Their assumption is that the book will be pitched over the fence to meet the deadline, never to be seen again. I'm not finished, but the premise is that the new book becomes a hit and exposes the four of them to all sorts of scrutiny, at which point their lives as well as their friendship begin to unravel.
Wax makes you feel like a fly on the wall, reading about an editor at a major New York publishing house whose mood swings can determine whether a writer succeeds or tanks. And about the agents stuck in the middle, trying to make both the editors and the writers happy. But the biggest eye-opener has been what happens to a writer after she has managed – against all odds – to become published. For my friends and I, that's the Realm Behind the Curtain. None of us are published, and it's our only goal. We have no concrete plans for what might happen afterward because we haven't dared to think that far ahead. Some of us might even say we'd be jinxing ourselves.
All four of the women in Wax's book have their struggles with writing, just like we do, but have the added stresses of meeting new deadlines and dealing with a whole host of other issues. It's almost enough to give a writer pause. Will it be worth it in the end, or will we wish we had heeded the warnings? Do we really want to be published?
Oh, who am I kidding? Of COURSE we do. We're just like kids who won't listen to stories of their parents' mistakes. We want to learn those lessons ourselves. We can keep our fingers crossed and hope the bad stuff won't happen to us.
Thanks, Wendy, for the peek behind the curtain.

Lavender, a sophomore from Cleveland, led the conference in scoring (20.6 points per game) and rebounding (10.6) and was named First Team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and media for a second consecutive season.
She was also the coaches' player of the year a season ago, so her selection this season gives Ohio State five consecutive years with the player receiving that honor after Jessica Davenport did so her final three years in scarlet and gray.
Lavender was not the only Buckeye to be a repeat winner. Junior guard Shavelle Little defended her title as Big Ten defensive player of the year and was the only unanimous choice for the all-defensive team. She finished second in the league in steals per game with 2.6. Illinois' Lacey Simpson nabbed 3.1.
Both the coaches and media selected Ohio State point guard Samantha Prahalis freshman of the year and tabbed Ohio State's Jim Foster coach of the year, his fourth such honor in five years.
Prahalis also made the coaches' all-freshman team in a unanimous vote.
The all-conference teams were not as nice to the Buckeyes, however.
After Lavender made both first teams, the media chose Prahalis to its second team and senior forward Star Allen to the third team.
The coaches named Allen to their third team and gave Prahalis honorable mention.
Allen was also a second-team all-league pick (media) as a sophomore in 2007.
The same day those honors were announced, Lavender also took home a record-tying fifth Big Ten player of the week honor after averaging 24.5 points and 12.5 rebounds during the final week of the regular season.
Lavender started the week with 21 points on 8-of-13 (.615) shooting and grabbed 13 boards as Ohio State beat Wisconsin on Feb. 26 to clinch at least a share of the title. Three days later against Penn State, the Cleveland native poured in 28 points and added 12 more rebounds to pad her league-leading averages in both categories.

Fiat Focuses on ChinaIan Rowley
Is there a harder-working CEO in the auto business than Fiat's Sergio Marchionne? Fresh from acquiring Chrysler and bidding—amid competition from Canada's Magna International and China's Beijing Auto—for General Motors' Opel unit, the Italian automaker has inked a deal to form a joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group.
The agreement, signed in Rome on July 6 in the presence of Chinese President Hu Jintao and Italy Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is another step toward turning Fiat into a global automotive giant. Targeting the growing China auto industry, Fiat will invest $559 million in the venture, which plans to begin production in China's Hunan Province in the second half of 2011. The facility will initially have the capacity to make 140,000 cars and 220,000 engines per year, and may later increase to maximum of 250,000 cars and 300,000 engines per year. The first model to roll off the production line will be the Linea sedan.
Industry watchers welcomed the deal, calling it vital if Fiat is to match with Marchionne's ambition. The Fiat chief reckons that the Turin automaker needs to increase its global production capacity from 2 million today to more than 5.5 million—a size that surely necessitates a large presence in what will soon become the world's biggest car market. Guangzhou Auto operates successful—and profitable—partnerships with Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC), both of which have factories in Guangdong, which neighbors Hunan. Sales of Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys made at the plants are both hot sellers, especially in southern China. "[It is a] good move by Fiat," says Michael Dunne, managing director at J.D. Power (MHP) in Shanghai.
Long a Laggard
Whether it will be enough to go beyond kick-starting Fiat's Chinese operations, though, is harder to say. Fiat is a laggard in China after previous attempts to manufacture in the Middle Kingdom didn't work out. In 2007, Nanjing Automobile pulled out of another joint venture agreement (JVs are a requirement for foreign automakers to make cars in China) amid weak sales. In the final year of the partnership, Fiat sold fewer than 20,000 cars, and the factory was eventually sold off to Volkswagen. That left Fiat with a tiny foothold in the market, exporting barely 4,000 cars a year from Europe.
A route back via a partnership with Chery Automobile, China's biggest independent carmaker, didn't get off the ground. The two automakers planned to make and sell 175,000 Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Chery branded cars in China with production due to start this year. In addition, Chery was to supply Fiat with engines for sale outside of China. "This is also a good basis for studying further cooperation with Chery in the automotive industry," Marchionne said when the deal was announced in 2007. But in March Fiat and Chery canceled the deal, blaming the global downturn.
That excuse rings a little hollow now, although the Chinese auto market has recovered beyond most expectations this year. At the start of the year, many automakers were projecting a flat year at best, but the market, buoyed by tax breaks and other incentives, is up 20% over 2008. Further into the future, China's high economic growth rates and huge population suggest demand for autos will continue to outstrip the developed markets of Europe, Japan, and the U.S.
For all the opportunities, though, Fiat must overcome some serious hurdles if it is to succeed in China. For one thing, Fiat can't afford another misstep. "The Guangzhou relationship appears to be Fiat's last chance to create a meaningful presence in China," says Ashvin Chotai, managing director of London consultants Automotive Intelligence Asia. He warns, though, that Fiat's brand image in China is poor and that, with production still over two years away, it's unlikely the business will add to the company's bottom line inside five years.
Fierce Rivals
Meanwhile, catching up with foreign rivals, many of which are also investing heavily in China, won't be easy. At Volkswagen, the biggest foreign automaker in China, sales rose 12.5% in 2008, to 1 million. Automotive Intelligence Asia reckons VW will grow by a further 30% by 2015. Meanwhile, Toyota, Honda, GM (GM), and Hyundai all recorded annual sales in excess of 400,000 vehicles in 2008. (In GM's case, the figure rises to over 1 million if its roughly one-third stake in a commercial minivan joint venture with Wuling and Shanghai Auto is included.)
Just as daunting for Fiat, its strengths are in producing small and midsize cars. This low-cost segment, while experiencing high demand, is perhaps the most competitive area of the market. Indeed, while foreign automakers have much of the higher end to themselves, low-cost Chinese automakers are much tougher rivals for smaller vehicles.
The segment also offers the thinnest margins. Speaking at the Shanghai show in April, Jae Man Noh, president of Hyundai Motor's Chinese operation, estimated that while operating margins are down from double-digit levels in 2002-03, to between 5% and 6% overall, for vehicles below $15,000 the profitability is wafer-thin. To make a success of its business in China, Fiat will have to strike a difficult balance. "They key will be to offer products that, at once, carry European appeal while remaining attractive to Chinese consumers on price," says J.D Power's Dunne. "Chinese do not mind paying a premium for brands, [but] Fiat must establish itself as a cut above other large-scale manufacturers."

Mexico has long been a party destination for college students. The U.S. State Department estimates more than 100,000 young Americans travel to Mexico for Spring Break every year. But officials warn it's not safe.
Texas Department of Public Safety Spokesman Tom Vinger says many crimes against Americans in Mexico go unpunished.
"The situation in Mexico today is significantly different than it was just a decade ago. Things have changed. There is a violent drug war that is raging across the country. And the Mexican government is making great strides in battling the cartels; however, cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat, even in some resort areas."
A little more than a week ago, a busload of Carnival Cruise passengers was robbed at gunpoint near Puerto Vallarta. Vinger says crime in Mexico is on the rise, including homicide. The number of U.S. citizens reported murdered in Mexico went from 35 in 2007 to 120 last year.
"It is important for people to research the situation, get their information from as many sources as possible, not just people who stand to make a financial gain. We believe that the risk cannot be ignored."
DPS warns against any travel to Mexico, but travelers who do go are urged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate in the region they're visiting.

text: Interesting article in the Dallas News. Josh Howard is in the last year of his rookie contract and if he doesn`t sign an extension before October 31st he will become a restricted free agent at this seasons end. It is rumored in Dallas that his extension should be similar to if not more than Tay`s. Howard`s stats have been better than Tay`s and he says; "no disrepect, but Tay doesn`t do for Detroit what he does for Dallas". I say true dat, Tay doesn`t call timeouts that his team doesn`t have............. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/basketball/mavs/stories/082006dnspohowardside.2f860d8.html

The latest from the Apple rumor mill is that 2013 might be the year for some new iPhones. This information comes from a Chinese mobile phone information site Laoyaoba.com where it was reported that the source saw two new iPhone models at Applie's suppliers.
These two iPhone models are said to be the iPhone 5S which is rumored for a July 2013 release and a 5-inch iPhone 6. The iPhone 5S will of course be designed similarly to the current iPhone 5 while the iPhone 6 should be lighter and thinner.
This move could be due to the increasing demand for bigger screens and better resolution on iPhones. Many people believe Apple to be missing out on a market segment tailored specifically to people that like larger phones and bigger screens. This rumored iPhone 6 may be Apple's response to that.
