Paris (Jun. 16)
A Jewish teacher was arrested today following the discovery of a cash of forty tons of arms and ammunition in the Chateau de Cambe, near Bordeaux, which was rented by the ORT organization several months ago as a Jewish agricultural school. None of the students were detained.
A statement issued by Alexander Kavarsky, secretary of the ORT organization, said that on June 2, the day of the national elections in France, several uniformed soldiers drove up to the Chateau in army trucks and asked to leave a large number of cases, which they said contained medical supplies. Two days later police investigated and discovered the cases contained arms and ammunition. Kavarsky said he did not know the nationality of the soldiers, but the arrested ORT teacher declared that they had worn the insignia of the Jewish Brigade.
The arms store includes five cannon, a number of machine guns, grenades and pistols. The origin and destination of the cases remain unknown, but the French police theory is believed to be that the arms–which appeared to be British-made–were smuggled from Holland earmarked for Palestine. The French police have confirmed the fact that the soldiers who delivered the cases were British uniforms, but said that the trucks apparently were American-made.
The French Ministry of Interior today denied the possibility that the Chateau de Cambe was a transit center for Jews en route to Palestine. Police authorities searched other ORT institutions in the neighborhood, but discovered nothing.

College will be a little bit less of a burden on one Ahwatukee Foothills student after an awards ceremony last week.
Adrianna Henderson was one of eight finalists for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the East Valley's Youth of the Year award. At a banquet on Feb. 27, Henderson was named the winner and will receive $20,000 in scholarship funds over a four-year period from The Victoria Lund Foundation.
"I was nervous, my hands were sweating and everything," she said. "It was great. I was speechless. I seriously had to catch my breath."
Henderson, a senior at Horizon Community Learning Center, and each of the other seven finalists were winners of their respective Boys and Girls Clubs of the East Valley branch and will receive $1,000 each from Maricopa Community College District.
The win also puts Henderson in the running for the 2012 Arizona Youth of the Year title and she will compete against other Arizona winners in the 2012 Youth of the Year Legislative Breakfast at US Airways Center in Phoenix on April 17. The winner there will enter into the running for America's National Youth of the Year in Washington, D.C.
But right now, Henderson is still reveling in her most recent victory.
"I was confident I did a great job, and I was hoping it was me," she said. "I think it's going to take until the middle of March before it's done sinking in and then I start working on my state speech. It's literally going to help everyone out. It's going to help my parents out and I can even start saving up for grad school."

Sean Penn: No Divorce with Robin Wright
There will be no divorce for Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn – as the actor filed an appeal in Marin County Superior Court Thursday to discharge their legal separation case.
"It was an arrogant mistake," told Penn, who had filed for "legal separation with minor children" from his wife of thirteen years.
This was not the first time Penn, 48, had filed for divorce. He had previously filed one back in December 2007, which was later dismissed. Wright Penn, 43, then filed for her own paperwork three days later after the event.
When April of 2008 rolled around, the couple's divorce appeal was dismissed at their request.
Meanwhile, the two have attended February's Academy Awards, where Penn won his second Best Actor Oscar for playing activist Harvey Milk.
The couple has two children between them, Dylan, 18, and Jack, 15.
Reports have also said that Penn has been seen with actress Natalie Portman previously this month, which Portman has denied.

Promote Control hot shoe / tripod mount allows mounting your Promote Control directly on to your camera flash hot shoe, or on a matching 1/4" standard tripod screw.
"The Promote Control is an essential tool for better HDR captures. I've only had mine for a week and I can't imagine capturing brackets without it ever again. It allows the most affordable Nikon and Canon DSLRs to outperform the AEB capabilities of even the highest end pro DSLRs. I've tonemapped over 10,000 commercial images derived from HDR files, so you'll have to take my word for it when I say the Promote Control ... is a real game changer."
Michael James - hdriblog.com
"I have been using my Promote for some time now and it's sooooo good, it's an unmissable part in my camera bag."
Wim, Belgium - wim360.eu
"Again though, I really have to say that I love the Promote. We have now purchased a few of them now and are currently part of a rig used on set. And personally speaking, for my own work, it's much more robust than anything manufacturers have available in their line ups in terms of bracketing and time-lapse."
Phil Holland - phfx.com
"I read about, tried it and am SOLD! The Promote Remote has helped my work flow by leaps and bounds. With it's easy use interface the Promote Remote is a must have for amateurs and pro's."
Nathan Enriquez - CEO, Get Your View.com LLC
"Promote Control is a cool tool. I can get greater efficiency by shooting a wider exposure range with fewer exposures. That saves disk space and processing time on the computer, and wear and tear on the camera. Promote Control also lets me shoot brackets that my camera otherwise can't, giving me greater control over my final output."
Carl Stone, realestatefotografix.com
"Overall, I could not recommend this product enough. If you are remotely serious (get it... get it? :) ) about HDR photography, then you owe it to yourself to at least consider the Promote Control."

ONC EMR / EHR Certification
Practice Fusion's EHR is ONC ATCB compliant and is certified as a Complete Meaningful Use EHR by Drummond Group Inc.
What is EHR Certification?
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Health IT Certification Program is a voluntary certification program established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT to provide for the certification of health IT standards, implementation specifications and certification criteria. In order to capture and share patient data efficiently, providers need an EHR that stores data in a structured format. Structured data allows patient information to be easily retrieved and transferred, and it allows the provider to use the EHR in ways that can aid patient care. Certified EHR technology gives assurance to purchasers and other users that an EHR system or module offers the necessary technological capability, functionality, and security to help them meet the meaningful use criteria.
We're ONC Certified as a 2014 Meaningful Use Complete EHR

The Practice Fusion EHR is certified according to the criteria in 170.314(e)(1) transfer of care. In order for a provider to qualify for this measure they must be able to submit summaries of care to a third party via a direct message as a referral. Practice Fusion has partnered with Updox to provide the Direct messaging capability. Updox is a member of the DirectTrust HISP which means that providers can send referrals to any provider is also using a product that is a member of the DirectTrust HISP.
The Practice Fusion EHR is certified according to the criteria in 170.314(f)(2) transmission to immunization registries and 170.314(f)(3) transmission to public health agencies – syndromic surveillance. Presently Practice Fusion is connected with all public health states and regions for submission of immunization data, however, is not currently connected with any states or regions for syndromic surveillance. In order to submit data for syndromic surveillance, the provider can download the syndromic surveillance file and upload it to the appropriate public health registry manually.
With the changes to the Certification Guidelines with 2014 Release 2 in October of 2015, and the updated CMS guidelines for Objective 10 for 2016 eligible providers are required to submit clinical data to 2 of 4 available options within the objective. This includes submitting data to Immunization, Syndromic Surveillance, Cancer and Specialty registries. Given that Practice Fusion is only certified for the first two items (Immunizations and Syndromic Surveillance), providers are limited to using the other certified features for manually creating clinical summaries in either 170.314(b)(7) data portability or 170.314(e)(2) clinical summaries and then manually transferring those documents to the cancer or specialized registries. Alternatively, the provider could use the referral features to send a referral summary document to a registry that is enabled with a DIRECT address according to the 170.314(e)(1) transfer of care certification requirements.

NBA All-Star Luol Deng has been named to headline Great Britain's Olympic basketball squad.
The Chicago Bulls forward is on a 12-man roster that also includes former New Orleans Hornets centre Pops Mensa-Bonsu.
As expected there was no place for Ben Gordon, who has yet to play for Britain despite being included in squads since 2008, after he failed to arrive at the recent training camp in Houston following his trade to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Deng's presence, however, will ensure Great Britain retain hope of qualifying out of a tough-looking Group B that includes 2006 world champions Spain.
The 27-year-old became the first British player to be named as an NBA All-Star this year and is looking forward to spearheading Team GB in just their second ever Olympic appearance.
"We have all worked very hard for this opportunity and to have the final 12 named is exciting," Deng said. "The next few weeks will fly by and I can't wait to step on the court with my team-mates at the Games. We plan to make Great Britain proud."
After spending the past week at a camp in Loughborough, Mensa-Bonsu - now at Turkish side Besiktas - added: "The experience at the holding camp in Loughborough has made us all realise that the Olympics are just around the corner. I am proud to be a member of this team and can't wait to represent my country on the largest stage."
Great Britain will open their Olympic campaign against an as-yet undecided qualifier on July 29 as they bid to reach the quarter-finals.
Chris Finch's side face a tough task of qualifying in the top four of a group that - in addition to world number two Spain - contains Australia (ninth), China (10th) and Brazil (13th).
Team GB basketball squad: Kieron Achara, Robert Archibald, Eric Boateng, Dan Clark, Luol Deng, Joel Freeland, Kyle Johnson, Andrew Lawrence, Mike Lenzly, Pops Mensa-Bonsu, Nate Reinking, Andrew Sullivan.


text: 'The Sabres may have finished with 41 wins, their most ever in a non-playoff season. But they will forever be reminded that they needed two more to qualify for the playoffs. Their schedule will be especially viewed with remorse because of five to 10 inexplicable losses against weaker teams and others marked by a distinct lack of effort.'

Research and participatory period November 2010 - April 2011
Final exhibition event 3rd April 2011
Commissioner and key project partners
Aberdeen City Council's Arts Development team
Description of work
'Meet on the Green' was a participatory public art project supported by Aberdeen City Council's Arts Development team. The project focused on the impact that art and an integrated creative public dialogue can have for a community and the city as whole - breaking down barriers for long term engagement, participation and retention of cultural activity within the city.
Artist Amy Marletta worked in and around the Green for approximately five months attempting to gather stories and meet people who had a connection to the place. The aim was to create an artwork that was a response to the environment and community, working with local people to build up a picture of the area, both past and present.
By allowing chance encounters to lead the way, the project was shaped by the community that directly contributed and linked to local research gathered by lead artist Chris Biddlecombe (a separate research project on the Green). The final outcome took the form of a series of portraits and as song lyrics woven together from stories told and overheard around the site.
Sixteen local artists were invited to take part in the project by creating portraits of local people, who live, work or socialise in the area - in this process the artist acted as both go-between, collector and catalyst. The portraits were exhibited throughout venues on the Green in April, with the opening event taking place on Sunday 3rd April at Café 52. The exhibition continued for the following few weeks at three local venues.
These portraits were also reproduced as a set of limited edition postcards that were distributed around various venues on the Green and were able to be collected for free - encouraging 'collectors' to move around public houses, and restaurants that they may not regularly visit.
The song, which was recorded by local singers gathered together and mentored by Amy, was also made available as a free CD, played on the local radio station and broadcast in the local shopping centres.
Context of the work
This project is a direct legacy of the research and consultation work undertaken through the 'City of Culture' Feasibility Study 2009 and the development of the 'Vibrant Aberdeen' Cultural Strategy.
The commissioner chose an artist that had a history of working within the Public Art field, a strong understanding of collaborative practice and was comfortable developing methods of consultation, participation and community involvement that would lead to the production of a temporary piece to be located within the Green/ Merchant Quarter of Aberdeen.
Amy is an artist whose practice is based around collaborative processes and community interactions. Her previous experience included two key projects - 'Re-imagining the Centre' in Inverness (2009) and 'Ganghut Gala Day' in Lumsden, Aberdeenshire (2007) - where she developed community based interactions that energised neglected local spaces. This work was created through thoughtfully spending time with existing groups or creating new associations that would then manifest themselves as a celebratory 'performance activity'.
Within the context of the Green / Merchant Quarter the focus of the work needed to be about how different on site spaces worked, as it was about improving the emotional appeal of an under used area of the city. Although the remit of the artists focus was open, an initial understanding and consideration of how the Green functioned and how it links together all it's users (residents, workers, business', tourists) needed to be considered.
The focus for this collecting of information was to be channeled through two paths - a direct exploration by Amy of the local residents, groups in the wider Aberdeen community and the use and history of the site, and as a collaborative relationship with the lead artist/researcher who was developing a more in depth evaluation of how the site could be affected by artistic activity. Within the relationship between the commissioned artist and the lead artist, duplication was to be avoided, research shared and a support system created through open discourse.
This project was to act as a pilot for future public art funding and be evaluated and assessed as part of the larger research project that is the Art Engagement project. Therefore, the process (relationship building, network connections, and negotiations towards the production) and the showcase of a final art work, were equally important within the project brief. To this end the artist was asked to keep a project diary and evidence of her methodology throughout the project.
NOTE: Site Context - The Green is a historically significant area of Aberdeen and was once the main highway into the city. Due to changing topography, particularly the growth of Union Street, the development of nearby indoor shopping centres and the demise of the street market, the Green has undergone a steady economic and structural decline. The Green is part of a Townscape Heritage Initiative that supports the re-evaluation and regeneration of this important city site that currently appears to act as a forgotten through-way between Aberdeen's main transport links and the key city retail areas.
Response to key objectives
The key output in this project was the methodology of engaging community interaction and linking to an appropriate creative response. The issue with this site was that there was no clear group or existing connected community activity identified. This was particularly challenging for the artist as there is a high percentage of working, one person, rented households in the area, that may suggest low local interactivity. The artist saw her role as instigator, not to solely implement her own ideas, but to find new ways to collaborate with others, suggest new ways of expressing creativity, be accessible and bring together groups on site.
To this end Amy contacted and created connections with six different music/singing groups based in the city, two different youth groups, Four artist groups, and Four culture and education initiatives. Individuals with connections to the site (both artists and general community) were contacted through local radio, publications and interactive media sites. In turn, individual visits were made to twenty different shops, restaurants and public houses, the Trinity Shopping Centre and the Indoor Market, to highlight the initiative, negotiate support and encourage involvement in this and future projects. All meetings became an intrinsic part of the creative process, sharing information about the changing history of the site and future possibilities.
The portraits were a simple idea intended to 'break the ice' between the artist and people / places around the Green - depicting people who work, live or socialise in the site. In aligning herself with sixteen local artists to create the portraits, Amy formed her own creative group in the space to then connect with community individuals. Initially both the artists and community were new to this way of working, but an interesting dialogue about collaborative working methods was initiated.
These relationships have been built between: the different artists who painted the portraits (a group of whom may go on to exhibit together for the first time); the artists and the portrait subjects (on the event night many met with subjects, some artists gifted the portraits to their subjects, whilst some were bought by friends or family); both artists and subjects with the venues who exhibited the portraits (many visitors at the event noted that they hadn't been to the Green for a long time or weren't aware of these venues, commenting that they will return).
'The Green Song' was a more abstract way of collecting ideas and disseminating them back into the community, and also creating a new group of nine singers with varying experience. Here both the process of sharing and learning, creating a quality 'object' and then releasing/listening in the public space, are equally important parts of the creative work.
The portraits and the songs document a place at a particular time. They depict the people who spend time in that area and how the history of the area is remembered and re-told today. The portraits and the voices on the CD all look at the individual and how they make up a community.
The key challenges on this project were:
A difficulty in getting participants involved in a creative dialogue - partly due to the lack of past artistic activity in this area of the city and the diverse/transient nature of the community.
Some people found the artist's ideas unusual, still thinking of public art as being something sculptural or permanent. This is inevitable, given the constant evolving nature of artist practice, but highlights the need for inclusive dialogue between the artist and a community where the focus is on quality and interesting activity, rather than a constant re-definition of the process. This kind of approach is about experimentation, challenging those individuals that are less likely to openly express an interest in the arts.
Because the artist visited a range of venues, responses were mixed - again this is inevitable when one explores a site. But the places and people who did participate really gave a lot of time and effort. Even the fact that the local public houses took the postcards, although quite a small thing, was quite significant. It is important to note that this kind of project will rely on a variety of large and small gestures of exchange to create an overall impact.
The 'run-in time' to develop relationships could be longer - maybe consider a 'part-time' research period and a project creation period, to extend the actual life of the interaction.
The size of the event - both in relation to audience and participants, was difficult to develop in a short space of time. Even though some of the places that the artist contacted did not end up becoming directly involved, the meetings still lead to positive exchanges and support for creative activities happening in the area. In the case of some groups, the timing was just not right.
How you can realistically effect an exterior site in a physical way with a modest budget - materials, logistics, health and safety and permissions can all be time consuming and costly.
No particular 'home' or work space in the site sometimes made the idea of profiling the project or creating informal activities difficult.
Because this was a pilot project exploring creative ways of working, specific project support systems were not immediately suggested by the commissioner - allowing the artist to develop their own methodology and contacts. The project highlighted that despite working to an open brief, it is crucial that the artist identifies and agrees with the commissioner the desired level of support needed - both as an introduction to site, as an administrative backup and communication support mechanism. It is essential that the artist does not feel that they are isolated between the community and commissioner.
The artist still believes that an organic risk-taking approach was necessary to allow a true response of the space to be developed.
The artist would probably work with a smaller group of participants to make something more concentrated in a future project.
To be realistic about what is possible in the time frame, balanced with how much support is offered and how established the project is within the chosen location from the outset - Amy said "I think there is only so much you can do in a limited time. The positive relationships I have managed to create could be developed further but that's the nature of such a project �����š������you get to the end then you feel like really you're just at the beginning".
An integral part of public art is a sense of ownership that a community, area or city bestow on the work, ensuring a legacy for the work and offering value. To this extent participation and consultation must be factored into the project's process.
It is good for an artist to have an overview of a site and see their work as one part of a series of creative projects that will affect the area.
Within this artist's practice the integrated evaluation process and diary became a useful working tool that assisted the project development. The inclusion of a lead artist as a support, communication link to commissioner and mentor was a useful and positive addition.

We'll open this week's mailbag with some Heisman banter.
From Sam in Chicago: In a recent blog post, you wrote four or five sentences about Tate Forcier and just one sentence about Jimmy Clausen? It's ridiculous how Clausen and Notre Dame are always getting slighted by the national media. This kid goes out and leads the Irish on a last-minute, winning-drive on one leg basically. If that was Tim Tebow, he'd already have been awarded the Heisman. Yet, no one has him at No. 1? What more does he have to do for you people?
The short answer? Win a big game. Then I think you'll see Clausen in the Heisman mix. I wasn't counting sentences Saturday night when I wrote that. One guy was playing against Indiana. The other against Purdue. Neither opponent is exactly Oklahoma or Florida. Much of my reaction to Forcier stems from the fact that this is a true freshman leading this team.
As far as Clausen goes, I've pointed out in the blog this month on several occasions how impressed I've been with his performance this season -- but to get to the next level, the burden of proof is on this team to get back into the top 15. Losing at Michigan to a team relying on a true freshman quarterback hurts ND's cause. As it relates to the Heisman, it hurts Clausen.
In fairness to Clausen, the Irish D hasn't helped him much, but if he is going to win the Heisman this year, it's going to require almost a perfect-storm scenario: First, he needs to keep his level of play high and the Irish need to win out. Big stats didn't get Graham Harrell to New York for the awards ceremony, and I doubt it would for Clausen either. I suspect he's also going to need both Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow to slip and lose some games.
If McCoy and UT win the Big 12, I don't see Clausen's overtaking him. Clausen's TD-INT ratio right now is better than McCoy's: 10-1 versus 9-5. McCoy's completion percentage is higher: 71 percent versus 66 percent. McCoy is also the better runner.
I feel like it's the same thing with Tebow, whose passing stats aren't as gaudy, but his running numbers really boost his value.
Beyond those two QBs, I think you have the next group with Cincy's Tony Pike, Houston's Case Keenum and Clausen, where they need to sustain the high level of performance, can't afford a loss and need some help. Sizing up those three, my hunch is that Pike is in the best position since they're still unbeaten and he'll be on TV more than Keenum.To read the rest of Bruce's blog -- Heisman sleepers, whether Mark Richt could replace Bobby Bowden at FSU, a sleeper to coach UVa if Al Groh gets canned, what Cincinnati's recruiting efforts should tell you about national rankings, and a new knock on Jahvid Best -- you must be an ESPN Insider.

Queen Lili'uokalani (1838-1917)
The last monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili'uokalani was born on September 2, 1838, near the Punch Bowl, on Oahu. She was the daughter of high-ranking chiefs Caesar Kapa'akea and Anale'a Keohokālole but at her birth she became the adopted child of chiefs Laura Konia and Abner Paki. Her brother was King Kalakuaua. Lili'uokalani attended the Royal School, where she learned the proper use of the English language, was trained in music, and traveled widely. Lili'uokalani was very proud of her Hawaiian traditions and was always loyal to her people. Lili'uokalani married John Owen Dominis on September 16, 1862. Dominis would later become the Governor of Oahu and Maui. The couple never had any children.
In 1881, Lili'uokalani was temporarily left in charge of Hawaii when her brother went on an extended trip around the world. While he was gone, an epidemic of smallpox broke out, killing many Hawaiians. Chinese laborers who worked in Hawaii's sugar cane fields brought the disease. To limit its spread, Lili'uokalani temporarily closed Hawaii's ports, which made the wealthy sugar growers angry, but showed her strong concern for her people.
On January 17, 1891, Lili'uokalani inherited the Hawaiian throne from her brother Kalākaua after his death. The previous year, the McKinley Tariff caused a recession in the islands by jeopardizing a mainland market for Hawaiian sugar. American interests in Hawaii began to consider annexation for Hawaii in order to reestablish economic competition for sugar. In 1893, Queen Lili'uokalani sought to empower Hawaiians through a new constitution. This caused the American minister in Hawaii, John L. Stevens to call for troops to take over the Iolani Palace and other government buildings and in 1894, they deposed Queen Lili'uokalani. The United States Government instituted a provisional government, which became the Republic of Hawaii, in place of the overthrown monarchy,
Upon realizing that the Hawaiian people were on the side of their dethroned Queen, President Cleveland offered her the throne back if she granted amnesty to all involved in the take over of her kingdom. She initially refused, but then changed her mind and agreed only to be denied her reinstatement by the Provisional Government. On, July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii was proclaimed with Sanford B. Dole as president.
Lili'uokalani was arrested in January of 1895 after a failed counterrevolution in which firearms were found on her property. She denied knowing of their existence and the following year she was released and returned to her home. Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898.
Queen Lili'uokalani was an accomplished musician and wrote over 160 poetic melodies and chants over her lifetime. One of her more famous pieces became one of Hawaii's four National Anthems. "Aloha Oe" is her best known composition, a story about two lovers who reluctantly must part.
Lili'uokalani died on November 11, 1917 from complications resulting from a stroke. She was the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Higher standards of ministers required
Higher standards of ministers required
David Cunliffe | 1 May 2014
New Zealanders expect higher standards of their ministers than the Prime Minister is requiring, Labour Leader David Cunliffe says.
"National ministers seem to believe they don't have to follow the same rules as everyone else.
"John Key once had high standards for his ministers. The cases of ministers breaking the rules for their friends are mounting up. Maurice Williamson now joins the ranks of the disgraced behind Richard Worth, Pansy Wong, Nick Smith, John Banks, Peter Dunne and Judith Collins.
"The Prime Minister lives in a state of denial over the actions of his ministers until they are made public and he has no way out.
"That is not upholding high standards.
"Maurice Williamson's actions were totally unacceptable and he has done the right thing by resigning.
"His emails to Police to help a National Party donor in a domestic violence case because he was 'investing a lot of money in New Zealand' are disgraceful.
"It is not the sort of behaviour New Zealanders expect from their elected officials.
"New Zealand prides itself on being one of the world's least corrupt countries.
"While Maurice Williamson has been forced to go, John Key's culture of entitlement continues," David Cunliffe says.

microwave radiation
Microwaves are used today for such purposes as radar, radio and television broadcasting, cellular telephones, and microwave heating (see below).
Microwave heatingA microwave oven (see diagram) exploits the presence of water in food to cook things from the inside. A microwave oven generates microwaves in a magnetron (1). When the microwaves penetrate the food, they cause water molecules (2), which have a positive side and a negative side, to rotate (3) generating heat through friction with the food. The oven is heavily insulated (4) to prevent leakage of microwaves. A rotating plate (5) and paddles (6), which ensure an even distribution of microwaves and that the food cooks evenly. To dissipate the hot air, generated by cooking and by the magnetron, a fan (7) pushes cold air around the oven.

Minolta by way of Sony has a knack for putting out innovative products, as they showed when they pulled the wraps off of the Alpha 55. Now, Sony has upped the ante with the Alpha 77 with impressive specs such as 12fps, 24 megapixel APS-C sensor, OLED Electronic View Finder (EVF), 3-way swivelling LCD screen, weather proofing, built-in GPS and 50fps full HD video recording.

Dog names show trends in Western Pennsylvania
Pet groomer Carrie Carrigansays she's instinctively wary every time she gets a dog named Maggie at Tailwaggers Pet Grooming in Harrison.
"I'll ask the owner the name, and they'll say 'Maggie,' and I think 'OK, here we go,' " she said.
In her experience, Maggies are much like dogs named Angel — they're anything but.
Alas, Maggie is one of the most popular dog names of 2015 in Allegheny, Armstrong and Westmoreland counties, according to an analysis of this year's dog license data.
Bella tops the list as the most popular female dog name in all three counties.
Others in the top five in Westmoreland are Molly, Lucy, Sadie and Daisy — the same top names given to female dogs in Allegheny County's suburbs.
In Armstrong County, Molly, Sadie, Maggie and Chloe round out the top five most popular female dog names.
"For me, my number one name is Bella; I have a ton of Bellas," said Chrissy Werner, owner of LolliPUPS Pet Grooming in New Kensington.
"A lot of people who name their dogs Bella, they seem to have little girls," she said. "And Italian people name their dog Bella, too."
Bella means beautiful in Italian.
Cheryl Landis of Allegheny Township named her cocker spaniel Bella when they adopted her eight years ago because it just seemed to fit.
"My friend owned (a dog spa), and there was a groomer there," Landis said, "and she went to leave for work and there was a cocker spaniel puppy tied to the doorknob.
"It had a rhinestone collar and a pink leash with rhinestones."
Landis and her husband, Tim, had been considering getting a dog and decided to adopt her.
"At the time she just looked like a sweet little Bella for us," she said.
At Pet Perfection Grooming Salon in Lower Burrell, owners bring in dogs named Bella, Sadie or Buddy every day, said owner Duey Taylor. Occasionally they'll see an Ari or Kazar, she said.
"There really are a lot of unusual names, but truthfully, the most common are from cartoons, like Mr. Pickles," she said.
Male dog names
The five most popular names for male dogs are also similar across counties.
In Westmoreland the top five are Buddy, Max, Bailey, Bear and Harley, records show. Buddy and Max take the top two spots in Allegheny and Armstrong counties.
Allegheny County residents also chose Charlie, Rocky and Toby as other top dog names, data show. In Armstrong County other popular names were Bear, Duke and Buster.
An Internet search turns up dozens of articles giving advice on how to pick dogs' names. Some suggestions seem to be universal; others contradict each other.
"There's no science on dog-naming. It's just common sense," said Alexandra Horowitz, a cognitive scientist at Columbia University's Barnard College who studies how dogs think.
Pick a name you don't mind repeating and that can't be confused with the names for people or other pets in the household, Horowitz said.
Research shows that dogs respond more readily to short, rising sounds than long, falling sounds, and it's more difficult to say a one-syllable name with a rising inflection.
"I don't think a one-syllable name is bad," she said. "It's just that the dog needs to be able to distinguish it from the other words that owners say."
Joe Orsino Jr. of Plum, owner of Mr. O's The Dog Training Place in Lower Burrell, said a dog's name is a vital factor in training.
"You want them to focus on their name," he said. "When you call your dog's name, you want it to respond in an appropriate manner."
Orsino said the more meaning the name has for an owner, the better a dog will respond to it because the owner puts emotion and inflection into a name they like.
Carrigan, of Harrison, who breeds Great Danes and English bulldogs, said she avoids common names for her pets.
"I would never name my dog a common name because, with common names, I think of another dog," she said. She's chosen names like Jordan and Orbit.
Werner said her family named their mixed-breed dog Ruby because of how she was found.
Her fiancé, Kevin Giunta, was on a job in Tennessee when he noticed a co-worker playing with a puppy.
"The guy who rescued her, he was putting things in the Dumpster and heard something and found the puppy," said Werner, of Lower Burrell.
Giunta's co-worker asked if he wanted the puppy and, after checking with Werner, he took it.
"So the saying is 'one man's trash is another man's treasure,' so we thought about gems and we just kind of named her Ruby," she said. "We just love her. She is such a treasure found among trash."

It seems like almost a monthly occurrence for online retailers to inadvertently shed light on the impending announcement of highly sought-after releases. Following GameStop's possible posting of Batman: Arkham Knight's release date just weeks ago, it looks as though The Last of Us may be getting a similar treatment courtesy of Spanish retailer XtraLife.
Considered by many to be one of the PS3's most poignant swan songs, gamers have been yearning to see The Last of Us make the transition to next-gen ever since its release. With the reveal that a PS4 release of the game is still a very real possibility, that previous hope was renewed. Now as if on cue, a listing for The Last of Us: Complete Edition has appeared on XtraLife's website. As of the time of writing though, the link simply redirects to the site's homepage.
While the listing itself on the site's PS4 page seems to be offline, the ad for this next-gen release notes that it comes equipped with a 'knapsack gift." Whether this promotional item is exclusive to XtraLife or will be available to wider audiences should this listing prove true still remains to be seen, however the prospect of a "Complete Edition" is something that should excite gamers.
As stated in the recent rumor that The Last of Us' PS4 release could come this summer, the game's critically-acclaimed DLC "Left Behind" would be a logical inclusion in a PS4 re-release of the game. If the rumored PS4 version of The Last of Us does in fact come to fruition, this idea of a "Complete Edition" would make the most sense, especially after the successful and impressive re-release of Tomb Raider on next-gen consoles.
Whether this listing is simply wishful thinking or an accidental early posting of a yet-to-be-announced product, there's no doubt that a next-gen release of Naughty Dog's award-winning PS3 title is almost as exciting as the prospect of another iteration in the series. With E3 just around the corner, one of, if not both of these possibilities could very well become realities. In the wait that precedes the event though, rumors such as these should still be taken with a grain of salt – at least until official word from Sony or Naughty Dog is involved.
Do you think Sony will reveal The Last of Us: Complete Edition at this year's E3? What improvements and additional content would you like to see included?

Lindsey Vonn wins her 1st race since concussion
ARE, Sweden (AP) Skiing hard and doing what she loves, Lindsey Vonn was back to her old ways — winning races.
She captured a downhill Saturday, three weeks after a concussion curtailed her world championships. This marked the 40th World Cup victory of her career, extending her American record for men and women.
Vonn finished in 1 minute, 40.93 seconds for her seventh victory this season. She clenched her fist and threw her head back as she crossed the finish line at the Swedish resort, then waved to the crowd.
"I did my best, and I think it was a good, aggressive run," Vonn said.
She was followed by Tina Maze of Slovenia, who trailed by 0.13 seconds, and World Cup leader Maria Riesch of Germany. Stacey Cook of the United States was fifth and teammate Julia Mancuso finished 11th.
Vonn, the defending World Cup overall champion, crashed during training Feb. 2 in Austria and withdrew from the late stages of the world championships on Feb. 14, still feeling the effects of a concussion. She finished sixth in the super-combined event on Friday in her first race since the worlds.
On Saturday, Vonn was 0.04 behind Maze on her second time split, but accelerated strongly in the middle section and made a clean jump into the bottom slope.
"It's still hard to believe I have 40 victories," the 26-year-old Vonn said. "It's a big number, so I'm incredibly happy. I feel lucky that I'm able to do what I love every day."
Vonn did not perform well in her opening events at worlds. She finished seventh in super-G, pulled out after the downhill portion of the super-combi and took silver in the downhill. She said it felt like she was "skiing in a fog," unable to maintain her concentration on a full run.
Vonn passed a series of concussion protocol exams each day during worlds. Some questioned whether she should be competing so soon after a head injury while still reporting symptoms. Vonn said the "tabloid gossip" surrounding her concussion got to her.
"No one was really listening to what I was saying, either. It was definitely a really hard time for me," she said. "Some people were saying that I shouldn't race because it's too dangerous, and some people were saying that I'm just making it up, that it's not even true. You know, it's like tabloid gossip."
Vonn leads by more than 100 points in the downhill standings, but trails Riesch by 176 in the overall race.
It was Vonn's third downhill win this season after Val d'Isere, France, and Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria.
"I think that some athletes, their style of skiing suits certain hills more than others. Are, Val d'Isere, and Lake Louise are a few of the hills I really like," Vonn said. "I would like to think I could do well on any course, but there are certain courses I definitely like more."
Switzerland's Nadja Kamer crashed during her run and bruised her left wrist and thumb. She spun around twice, flew across the side of the course on her back and front before hitting the netting. She will wear a cast on her wrist as a precautionary measure.
The race was delayed several minutes. Local favorite Anja Paerson was next after Kamer's crash, but went too wide and out, prompting groans from the crowd. Elisabeth Goergl of Austria, who won the downhill at worlds, also misjudged the top part and failed to finish.
"It was tough conditions, pretty flat light and it was hard to see all the terrain and the speeds were high today," Vonn said. "That big left-footed turn was causing a lot of problems."
Vonn has a chance for a 41st win in Sunday's super-G, but is more concerned with improving her slalom.
"My training's going really well in slalom," she said. "I think I've figured some things out with my set-up. I just haven't been able to put it through to the finish."

A: When it comes to tracking stocks and mutual funds, you'll want to check out the free portfolio tracking area of USATODAY.com. This portion of the Web site provides powerful tools to investors to monitor the health of their stocks and funds. It also links to USATODAY.com's proprietary Stock Meter measure, that shows you how risky a stock is.
For the stock and fund portion of your portfolio, USATODAY.com is a great source. However, if you're looking to monitor your certificates of deposit, that will require taking another step. If you already own a copy of Microsoft Office, you might consider using Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program to track all your CDs. The software is able to record the deposits made into the CDs and can also perform advanced analysis as well. The only trouble with this approach is that it requires a degree of familiarity with electronic spreadsheets. You will also need to design your own template.
If that sounds like too much work, you will want to look into personal financial software programs, such as Microsoft's Money or Intuit's Quicken. Both have some features that can help you monitor your CDs. My advice to you, though, is to try these products before you purchase them. You can download a trial version of Money, for instance, at http://www.microsoft.com/money/freetrial_info.mspx. It will work for a week or so, giving you a chance to see if it suits your needs.

I would like to share my media to xbmc clients and let the clients fetch the database from the xbmc server (NFO/Poster and so on). It works great when using a xbmc server with upnp sharing enabled. But a standalone application would be a better choice in my opinion because a very weak machine could also serve the files PLUS the NFO/Poster files that way to the clients and the clients wouldn't need an installation rather than just a live usb boot.
A "simple" python cli script with something like
upnpserver -nfo /path/to/database -files /path/to/movies
would be awesome!

Fly-By-Night Squirrels Favor Truffles and Lichens
Lichens and fungi are the main components of the flying squirrel's diet. But the biologists who live-trap these nocturnal, gliding rodents don't bait their traps with mushrooms.
"We use a mixture of peanut butter, molasses and rolled oats, formed into a nice peanut butter 'cookie,'" said biologist Jeff Nichols.
Nichols estimates he's trapped and released 300 to 500 flying squirrels for research projects, mostly on Prince of Wales Island. He said they are about the size of the red squirrel, Alaska's only other tree squirrel, but completely different in other respects.
Lichens and fungi are the main components of the flying squirrel's diet. But the biologists who live-trap these nocturnal, gliding rodents don't bait their traps with mushrooms.
"Their fur is really soft," he said. "They use their tail as a rudder when they glide, so their tails are quite a bit bushier. And they have a patagium, the membrane they spread out to glide."
The patagium is elastic skin that stretches between the front and hind legs. It doesn't interfere with the squirrel's tree-climbing agility and enables them to transform a headlong leap from a tall tree into a glide of as much as 100 yards long.
"I've seen glides myself that were easily 60 to 70 yards," Nichols said. "They really take advantage of the terrain. On a steep slope they'll climb a tree and then potentially go to the bottom of the hillside."
Owls are predators of flying squirrels, and marten, agile, cat-like weasels, will also take them if they can. Goshawks, which are not nocturnal, have also been known to catch flying squirrels. That's because Alaska's long summer days create risks for a nocturnal animal.
"In summer, they have to be out in daylight, especially in the Fairbanks area," Nichols said. "There will be some overlap between their nocturnal activity and diurnal predators."
Flying squirrels make their dens in tree cavities, under loose bark and in "witches' brooms," thick clumps of branches in trees. Studies in the Interior indicate flying squirrels switch between about a dozen different dens. In a night of foraging a squirrel may travel a circular route covering about a mile.
Flying squirrels eat mushrooms but favor subterranean fungi, such as truffles, and will also eat berries and even bird eggs. Hunters have reported flying squirrels coming into hunting camps at night and eating fat from hanging game carcasses. Lichens become an important dietary component in winter when other food sources are unavailable.
Like red squirrels, flying squirrels don't hibernate and stay active all winter –although they have been known to den up for the coldest stretches of winter, sometimes in small aggregations with other flying squirrels.

Canning with Granny ShirleyAugust 11, 2010 • 4 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog
Despite my 6 year jaunt in New York City and my love of 3-inch high heels, I'm one of those GRITS at heart (for those of you not familiar with this term, it stands for Girl Raised In The South). I learned how to drive a tractor, can shell peas with the best of them, and I grew up on good Southern cooking. I learned most of my culinary skills from my grandma, so now that I'm living closer to home I'm taking advantage of her proximity to learn one of those skills I missed – canning. Come January I'll be really happy that I learned this skill with stacks of canned fruits and veggies in my pantry!
I recently flipped through an Algonquin backlist book called Dori Sanders' Country Cooking: Recipes & Stories from the Family Farm Stand which has a recipe for Bourbon-laced Tipsy Chicken with Peaches. With this dish on my mind, I decided peaches would be the perfect fresh produce for my first attempt at canning.
A few of the necessary things in order to complete this project:
- A bushel of delicious, big peaches (mine were purchased at a small farm in Charleston)
- Canning stuff (pressure cooker, jars, lids, etc.)
- The guidance of Granny Shirley (my grandmother, for those of you who are not an acquaintance of Granny Shirley)
- The assistance of sous chef Mom (it's very important to have a sous chef to do those time-consuming tasks like peeling a bushel of scalding hot peaches)
While I thought it took an army and a lot of sweat to can a bushel of peaches, it actually only takes a few Southern women (preferably one who has the necessary canning knowledge) and a few hours of your time. Rather than detailing the entire process for you, dear readers, a shortened version with pictures is below. If you want to know all the details, you'll have to consult Granny Shirley or buy a copy of PUT 'EM UP from our sister imprint Storey.
Sterilize your jars and lids with scalding water.
Place whole peaches in boiling water for 1 minute so the skins can loosen up. Remove from the pot and have other people peel and cut them into slices for you (hence the need for sous chef Mom).
Tightly pack peaches into the jars, squish them down, and then pack in more. Seriously, you can put a lot more peach slices in a jar than you think.
Pour hot sugar water on top of the peaches to fill in the extra space in the jar.
Do what Granny Shirley calls "burping the jars"…you have to make sure all the air bubbles in the jar are filled up with the sugar water so that it seals right and doesn't turn gross.
Clean off the jars and seal them with a lid and ring.
Put jars in the pressure cooker, which is filled with hot water, and seal with the presser cooker lid. The gauge needs to go up 10 pounds of pressure for 5 minutes and then you have to remove the pot from heat and let it naturally cool down without removing the pressure cooker lid. This part takes forever!
Remove the peaches from the cooker and listen for the lids to "pop", or concave in the middle, within 15-20 minutes. This means they've sealed correctly. Make sure you take off the rings and clean the entire outside of the jar to avoid rust, then add rings back on. Finally, spend at least 5 minutes admiring your beautiful rows of canned peaches!
Using my newly canned peaches, I tried out the delicious recipe from Dori Sander's Country Cooking for bourbon-laced tipsy chicken with peaches, which I've added below for you to also try out.
A big thanks to Granny Shirley and Mom, without whom this project wouldn't have been possible!
Brought to you with no commercial interruptions by Kelly, Senior Publicist with Algonquin Books, and Granny Shirley, a huge Algonquin supporter and the Grand Dame of Canning.
Bourbon-Laced Tipsy Chicken with Peaches
4 chicken leg quarters (thigh attached)
½ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 cups green onions, chopped (about 6 green onions, including green part)
½ cup orange juice
2 tbsp. bourbon
1 cup peaches, chopped (about 2 medium peaches)
A dash of nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sprinkle the chicken quarters with salt and pepper. Place in a 13" x 9" baking pan and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and all but 1 tbsp. of the green onions, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 4 minutes.
- Spread the onion mixture evenly over the chicken, spoon the orange juice and bourbon over the top, and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning and basting occasionally.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, spoon the peaches over the top, sprinkle with nutmeg, and return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and shows no trace of pink near the bone.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, place on a serving dish, and pour the pan juices over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve immediately.

I need drag&drop on my site but Im have problem trying to apply it. So can someone tell what to do. When I download what I need I place those 2 files in my js directory which is in root directory. After that in my page's head section I call those 2 scripts and also jQuery script. And that's all I did and it's not working.
This is download link: http://threedubmedia.googlecode.com/files/jquery.event.drag-2.0.zipandthis is a page: http://threedubmedia.com/code/event/drag/
Don't forget that simply calling the files in the head isn't sufficient for things to just start working. You'll also need to initialize the script and tell it which elements are draggable/droppable.
For example, to make something draggable:
$('.drag').drag(function( ev, dd ){
$( this ).css({
top: dd.offsetY,
left: dd.offsetX
And similarly for droppables:
$('.drag').drag(function( ev, dd ){
$( this ).css({
top: dd.offsetY,
left: dd.offsetX
$( this ).toggleClass('dropped');
In head or body?
It can be in the head, so long as the script block that uses the code for drag/drop is after the jQuery Library and the jQuery plugin.
jQuery Library
jQuery Plugin
code that uses jQuery and/or plugins
Take a look at the source code of those example pages to see how they have done it.
Drag: http://threedubmedia.com/code/event/drag/demo/basicDrop: http://threedubmedia.com/code/event/drop/demo/basic
I watched this one and I made it. It worked. But i copied all this meta tags and script tags. So eventually I didn't understand what does each mean. So I want to do it so I can understand what I did.
Im going to play with it.
I got it man. Thanks for explanation.
And yeah, how to define a space in which I can move those pictures?

Alberta's Vidar Forest Technologies has a winning approach with its diversified business strategy—working for both the forest and energy industries—and maintenance deal with Deere dealer Brandt Tractor.
By Tony Kryzanowski
Alberta's Vidar Forest Technologies is not exactly your typical logging contractor. This Grande Prairie-based business has earned a reputation over the years for thinking out of the box and for not being afraid to put into practice what sounds good on paper. The company is named after Vidar, the mythical Norse guardian of the forest, which is testimony to founder Brian Peterson's Scandinavian heritage and to Scandinavia in general where forestry began.
Brian and his wife Mary own the company and both are actively involved in running the business. Two areas where the 15-year-old company has shown significant leadership are in how it has chosen to maintain its logging fleet as well as how it has diversified its logging operations into other industries and forestry services. It's rare to see the word "technologies" in a forestry company name, but in this case the terminology fits very well.
Over the years, Vidar has expanded into contract layout work for local sawmills involving global positioning systems (GPS), conducting mapping and cutblock layouts, and has experience in site preparation and planting, as well as private woodlot management. "Diversification was a strategy," says Peterson. "We could see where a lot of the smaller segments in the industry were causing a lot of inefficiencies. By putting them together in our operation, we were able to produce efficiencies." Of late, the operation has been achieving greater efficiencies on the equipment front with some new iron.
Within the past year, Vidar has put three new John Deere 853 feller bunchers with Gilbert Tech heads into production in the bush. It also operates two John Deere 748 skidders, and a Tigercat 635 six-wheel drive skidder in its harvesting operations. On the processing end, the company uses two John Deere 270 carriers equipped with Hornet processors, a John Deere 270 with a LogMax head and a Komatsu 250 carrier with a 2100 Lim-mit delimber.
The switch to Gilbert Tech heads has increased production by seven per cent. The main reason for this production increase is the additional rotation that the head offers. When a company operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day, year-round like Vidar, a seven per cent increase can rapidly add up over time. Vidar spent two years negotiating a deal with local John Deere supplier Brandt Equipment to lease its new feller bunchers, with equipment replacement after 5,000 hours and guaranteed equipment availability on a cost per hour basis.
"That is exactly what I wanted," says Peterson. "It was just a matter of convincing someone else to accept it." Brandt provides a full-time mechanic to maintain all of Vidar's equipment—including competing brands—as part of its maintenance agreement with the company. "When we first negotiated the deal, everybody thought we were nuts," says company controller Jim Walker. "Now that they see how well it is working, pretty much everyone we deal with wants to get on board with the same deal. Our motivation for signing the agreement was to create some cost predictability."
In addition to predictable costs, Brandt has agreed to provide Vidar with a replacement feller buncher if a leased unit requiring repairs is not back in operation within 48 hours. Vidar has been able to reduce overhead by eliminating three in-house mechanic positions as well as the need for two service trucks. "We concluded that equipment suppliers are better at repairing equipment than loggers," says Walker. "Plus, it puts the onus on Brandt in the event of downtime. This type of arrangement allows us to be more cost competitive, and so far we are very satisfied with the savings we have realized."
Peterson adds that the company also benefits from knowing upfront what its equipment will be worth when it is ready to turn it back in. This is especially important for a company like Vidar, which turns over its equipment quite quickly by industry standards. "I think it's been very successful," he says. "The key to making it work is developing a good working relationship with your supplier." Sales representative Lyle Dalgleish says Brandt's objective with Vidar is simply achieving availability through a "fix before failure" maintenance program. "We have been able to deliver availability at between 80 to 90 per cent," says Dalgleish. "Ten years ago, a lot of contractors would have been satisfied with 70 per cent. These days, it's possible to achieve 90 per cent availability because of how much better current equipment is engineered and manufactured."
While Brandt operates a number of full service contracts with contractors working in the oil and gas industry, Vidar was one of the first logging contractor clients to sign up for this service. Part of the reason why the arrangement makes sense for Vidar is because most of the company's logging activity is reasonably close to Grande Prairie. It might not be as beneficial for logging contractors working longer distances from Brandt's dealership because of costs associated with travel.
The dealer benefits from this arrangement, says Dalgleish, because the data it gathers from the unit's maintenance history has a positive impact on resale value. One reason why some contractors have opted for this type of service contract arrangement is because of the growing complexity of the equipment. "The technology is hard to keep up with," says Dalgleish. "When the dealer is fixing it, it gets fixed right the first time, plus we keep track of its maintenance record." He adds that these days a properly equipped service truck costs between $80,000 and $90,000 and needs to be outfitted with a lot of computer diagnostic equipment. There are also side benefits to this type of contract. "It's positive from an environmental standpoint," Dalgleish says, "because we collect all of the waste oil and dispose of it properly off site."
The equipment approach is part of a larger effort to remain cost competitive—and maintain a reputation for quality—that has allowed Vidar to maintain good relations with its high profile Grande Prairie clients. At present, it harvests 225,000 cubic metres of softwood for Weyerhaeuser and Canfor, and another 125,000 cubic metres of deciduous wood for Ainsworth Lumber. A growing part of the company's business and a key component of its diversification strategy is the log harvesting it does for oil and gas industry clients on pipeline right-of-ways, lease sites and access roads.
When the company first ventured into this new business direction in 1996, it cleared 10 oil field leases. Now Vidar does about 150 oilfield-related projects per year. "The oilfield logging is kind of a bonus for us," says Vidar operations manager Duayne Peterson, Brian's brother. "We're not putting ourselves out on a limb by working with forestry companies exclusively." Vidar has to plan its equipment scheduling carefully.
While it is a balancing act to keep clients from both industries satisfied, the company gains a significant benefit on the employment front. With very high equipment utilization, the company is able to keep its operators steadily employed. The result is low staff turnover and greater job satisfaction. The arrangement of working for both industries works out well because it's all about location.
About 90 to 95 per cent of Vidar's oilfield work takes place either within Weyerhaeuser's or Ainsworth Lumber's forest management areas. A number of other factors have also worked in Vidar's favour in building this branch of its business. The company employs full-time safety personnel and it has earned a reputation for delivering its service on time and at a reasonable cost. Changes to environmental regulations regarding timber salvage on right-of-ways have also put more pressure on oil companies to better manage this resource, creating more business in this area. Randy Matson, harvest supervisor for the oilfield division, says that Vidar has harvested right-of-ways on a number of high profile pipeline projects.
They included 32 kilometres of the Alliance Pipeline right-of-way, requiring the company to harvest 17,000 cubic metres in eight days. Vidar has also benefited from harvesting wood from a number of lateral line right-of-ways leading to the Alliance Pipeline. More recently, it harvested 100 kilometres of the Grizzly Valley pipeline extension for Duke Energy from Alberta to BC over a 32-day period. With the project extending across two provinces, Vidar needed to follow much more stringent National Energy Board regulations related to pipeline right-of-way clearing. This included higher environmental, safety and aesthetic protocols, even going so far as to working with an expert to identify possible archeological sites along the way. One was in fact discovered—a long-abandoned access trail to a specific area of the Rocky Mountains.
The combination of industry experience and attention to environmental details continues to pay off for the company. "There's no doubt that it helps to have experience in logging as well as the respect of both the forestry and oilfield industry to earn this type of business," says Matson. And it would seem that there is further growth in the future for Vidar Forest Technologies. The company recently gained a higher profile by moving from the smaller community of Hythe to Grande Prairie. Given the level of resource development growth taking place in the Grande Prairie region—a regional centre for the energy industry and forestry—Peterson has developed strategies to take full advantage of the opportunities in both industries.

We've discussed epilogues, and most H&H community members seem to like them. Many romance novels end with a wedding, an epilogue itself of sorts, since it shows the hero and heroine finally in love and happy with each other.
(Unless the wedding comes at the beginning, such as in Marriage-of-Convenience books or the wedding is not between the hero and heroine, but other characters. But that's a different post).
Do you like being invited to the wedding? Do you revel in the description of the event, the gown, the groom's suit, the toast? What do you like reading about most when it comes to fictional weddings?
