Fine summer reading for your Montana literary friends, an evocative exploration of life along the Rocky Mountain Front.
An appreciation of the Yellowstone River whitefish epidemic requires consideration of three factors; 1) the host(s), 2) the warming river environment, and 3) the pathogen(s).
Epidemics — including the Yellowstone River whitefish Tetra epidemic — are preceded by essential predisposing conditions in all three.

Rose di Maris reviews Swift Dam
Gustafson has a singular prose style that is neither imitative nor boring, but deeply and brilliantly evocative of the place, pace of life, and culture of the truly unique part of America in which this story is set. He captures the feeling of a place, not with paint or music but with words, through deliberate selection, arrangement, and sometimes repetition of those words. This prose style is likely to be so unlike any other you have encountered in contemporary literature that you may be tempted to resist it at first, but if you surrender to it and let the author take you where he wants to, you won't be disappointed. This slim novel gathers momentum and becomes more fascinating as it progresses--my favorite section is the chapter called Recapitulation, right at the book's heart, and achieves an ending that is deeply satisfying, resolving mysteries and illuminating the truth about relationships between compelling, carefully drawn and lifelike characters. Gustafson soars when he shows his gift for subtlety, conveying volumes of information and history in a character's slightest gesture or sparsely-spoken words. Among other things, this book is a meditation on animals and human relationships to them, land, the natural world, invisible communities, love and, perhaps most of all, the long-term, rippling, multi-generational effects of large-scale events on small, individual lives. Those interested in animals (particularly horses), veterinary practice as it relates to livestock and rural communities, 20th century Native American and/or Blackfoot culture, Montana, and depictions of male friendship will find this particularly engaging. Even if you approach the book without those interests, its literary quality will likely capture you.

"Swift Dam," the new novel by veterinarian and writer Sid Gustafson, is a beautifully evocative exploration of memory and landscape, history and generational relationships. It is set on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, where Sid grew up as part of the prolifically creative Gustafson clan... via LAST BEST NEWS
Swift Dam reviewed by Ed Kemmick
Sid writes of veterinary medicine, and much else, with a poetic voluptuousness, as in this description of the aftermath of a cesarean birth: "The new mother heaves a sigh of relief as the calf exits her incised womb. Doc elevates the calf to drain her wet lungs, and lays the neonate out and revives the baby, too long inside. He clamps her umbilicus to make her inhale, and inhale the little creature does, taking in first air, continuing to inhale, gestating nine months to inhale. Fingers threads his needle with catgut suture and the newborn sits to her sternum and issues a faint bawl. He stitches the mother back together, the newborn flapping her ears, stars singing hallelujah." Sid also knows the Blackfeet, whom he grew up around up on the family ranch. He writes of Blackfeet past and present with a clear understanding of the indignities they have suffered, but also with an unsentimental appreciation of what they might teach those who care to listen. - See more at: http://lastbestnews.com/site/2016/06/swift-dam-a-mesmerizing-account-of-family-remembrance/#sthash.n01oiZXn.dpuf

Authors' Den reviews
Review of the novel Swift Dam
Swift Dam rises to #1 in literary fiction on Author's Den! The best novels, however one defines them and judges them, include the knowledge of something we've known little about on the level of expertise that the practitioners have. Consider "Moby Dick." In this novel Moby Dick is a monumental rebuilt dam and the special knowledge is about horses and veterinary meds and instruments. Flesh of several kinds.

Horses They Rode
By Sid Gustafson
Riverbend Publishing, 288 pages
Reviewed by Justin Easter
Bozeman author and veterinarian Sid Gustafson has the rare ability to take you from your seat and place you directly in his novel.
He accomplishes this in Horses They Rode not with the all-too-common literary tactics we are used to, but through the use of fascinating imagery. While giving the reader familiar points in Montana to use as reference, Gustafson transports his readers into a different countryside than the one we see from our windows.
Gustafson brings his reader into a world where Indians and cowboys live together, and before the novel even progresses, the affect of this relationship, however strained, is evident to the reader. The nomadic qualities of Gustafson's characters echo throughout the novel and resonate in any reader who has felt an itch for exploration.
If you are interested in opening a book that will captivate your imagination while encouraging introspection, you need not look further than Horses They Rode. You may put this novel down wondering about the spirit of the mountains, the relationships you have with people around you, or even the relationship you have with yourself. This is, of course, not surprising when you realize Gustafson is using his own experiences to masterfully shape his characters.
Expect to read one of the finer stories related to quickly dissipating Montana culture, and one of the most impressive novels written by a Montana author this year. Hold on to your emotions, because there will most likely be an instant when Gustafson is able to open your mind in a way that is truly fascinating.

Philwrote a review of Mad Rock Mugen Tech with Hemp Lining Climbing Shoe on March 8, 2012
Painful, but short break-in
My first thoughts after getting these were that they are way too small. Being a new climber I've never broken any climbing shoes in before. After 3 sessions of 2 hours each climbing I was comfortable wearing these for extended periods. They work great, are sticky, hold on almost anything I put them on, and do break in enough, even for a moderately painful first wear. I definitely recommend these to others!

The 'Honey Bee' hitmaker says filming the NBC singing competition back-to-back 'sucks', but he can't imagine not being part of the show.
At least one person is not too fond of "The Voice" back-to-back seasons. Speaking backstage at the CMA Festival on Friday, June 8, Blake Shelton admitted he has expressed his objection about shooting the show in spring and fall, but finally realized that things need to be compromised.
"At some point, something's gotta give," so he addressed this issue. "I've been very vocal with the network and Mark Burnett's production company. It's like 'Man, this sucks, because the reason that you want the four of us is because we're viable artists right now-current. And we can't do both, if we do back-to-back seasons.' I've been hammering 'em about it."
Though so, the CMT Music Award winner said he still loves working on the reality show. "I look forward to that," so he claimed. "I love it, and I can't imagine not being a part of The Voice, ever. I mean, I'd love to do it from now on. But it just needs to work in a way that I can still come out here and see these people that are here (attending the CMA Festival) tonight across the country and do that at the same time. So, something's gotta give."
Confirming the production schedule for the NBC talent show, the husband of country music songstress Miranda Lambert affirmed, "We are gonna do this fall." He added, "We've already committed to that. And in fact we start in a week or two, filming it again."
NBC announced in May that "The Voice" will return for its third season in the fall on the same slots, 8 P.M.-10 P.M. on Monday and 8 P.M.-9 P.M. on Tuesday. At the time, NBC's entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt also revealed that he planned to add the spinning chairs from the audition phase into the battle rounds.
Beside Shelton, the other three judges/mentors Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera will all return and sit on the spinning chairs.

Heights bank site dispute may be over
Published 4:41 pm, Monday, September 24, 2012
It appears that Alamo Heights' latest legal battle with local developer Glenn Huddleston is over. On Sept. 10, City Council approved a settlement agreement after an executive session that was related to a case he filed last November.
Huddleston, who owns property where a Chase Bank is located near upper Broadway, argued that the city should not have issued a building permit for a Chase Bank on a site further south, where a Denny's restaurant once stood.
He has objected that the new bank site discourages walkability and that it doesn't provide enough buffer between the structure and a nearby residence.
News Channel
In the signed settlement released to the media on Sept. 18, Huddleston agrees to drop his lawsuit in exchange for certain provisions, including Chase's submittal of a new or revised permit to build drive-through improvements.
Huddleston also wants the city to ask the state to convert a concrete curb on Broadway into a left-hand turn lane so that southbound drivers have easier access into a strip center that he owns, which is near the new Chase Bank.
He also wants the city to amend some of its codes related to landscaping.
The settlement says that all parties will pay their own legal costs related to the case. City Attorney Mike Brenan said the city's expenses total about $87,000, not including August expenses, which have not yet been submitted.
Council also on Sept. 10 heard an update on what the city is doing to combat a West Nile virus outbreak that has been worse this year across the county and state.
Public Works Director Pat Sullivan said the most effective ways to prevent the virus from spreading are to educate the public and eliminate areas that harbor larva from mosquitoes, which transmit the virus from infected birds to humans.
He said the city used Century Pest Control on Sept. 5 to spray for mosquitoes along Greely by Viesca Avenue, the Little League fields as well as Jones-Maltsberger Road to Basse Road.
Sullivan said the most effective strategy is the use of larvacides such as Altosid, which kills the mosquito in the larva stage for up to 30 days after application. His department has been using this type of product over the last several summers, he said.
Residents are encouraged to remove standing water from areas such as flower pots, old tires and clogged rain gutters, he said. Repellants containing DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus can also help, he said.

Tarbell's and The Oven Pizza e Vino find a home in the new Streets at SouthGlenn
Tarbell's looks at home in the new Streets at SouthGlenn
Mark Manger
My childhood memories of Southglenn are laced with meals from cheap chain restaurants, eaten in a mall that fell into disrepair after Park Meadows moved in down the street, attracting bigger crowds and better shops.
Finally, the old Southglenn mall was razed -- and a new Southglenn rose from the ashes. The Streets at SouthGlenn, which will celebrate its first anniversary next week, is a far cry from the stamping grounds of my youth: This glitzy development is home to luxury residences, boutique shops and restaurants of an upscale urban variety.
Two of those restaurants are owned by Mark Tarbell, a former Iron Chef America winner who opened The Oven Pizza e Vino five years ago in Belmar. He opened a second Oven at SouthGlenn, and then Tarbell's (originally known as Home), which serves up haute American cuisine.
Tarbell's fish tacos
Mark Manger
Half of the offerings at Tarbell's are classic American staples like pot roast and macaroni and cheese, elevated by good ingredients and a kitchen that pays attention to detail. The other half of the menu comprises meditations on contemporary continental cuisine, fusing flavors of the East and West in dishes like fish tacos and ahi tuna on a bed of wasabi mashed potatoes.
The American Classic Five Napkin Burger
Mark Manger
But my favorite dish at Tarbell's is the American Classic Five Napkin Burger: hefty beef patties, melted American cheese, crisp pickles, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and tangy special sauce sandwiched between the two halves of a toasty challah bun. Tarbell says the burger, which was created by his executive chef, Matthew Fenton, haunts him; he eats four a week.
I had a similar -- if slightly more physical -- reaction to this burger. You can read all about it here tomorrow, when you can also see a slide show with more photos of Tarbell's.

Here we go again, groans a battered East Coast
Another in a line of seemingly unending storms paralyzed the Northeast with heavy snow and sleet on Thursday, giving the winter-weary that oh-no-not-again feeling, while hundreds of thousands across the ice-encrusted South waited in the cold for the electricity to come back on.
At least 20 deaths were blamed on the treacherous weather, including that of a pregnant woman who was struck and killed by a mini-snowplow in a New York City parking lot as she loaded groceries into her car.
The sloppy mix of snow and face-stinging sleet grounded more than 6,500 flights and closed schools and businesses as it made its way up the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor, where shoveling out has become a weekly — sometimes twice-weekly — chore. Amtrak canceled some of its trains in the Northeast and the South and modified schedules for others.
In the Northeast, Interstate 84 in New York state between the Connecticut and Pennsylvania lines was closed to commercial traffic; tandem tractor-trailer trucks were banned from highways in Connecticut. Municipalities imposed parking and travel restrictions so roadways and streets would be clear for plowing.
In its icy wake, utility crews in the South toiled to restore electricity to more than 800,000 homes and businesses, mostly in the Carolinas and Georgia. Temperatures in the hard-hit Atlanta area, with more than 200,000 outages, were expected to drop below freezing again overnight.
Baltimore awoke to 15 inches of snow. Washington had at least 8, and federal offices and the city's two main airports were closed. The Virginia-West Virginia state line got more than a foot. New York City received nearly 10 inches, and parts of New Jersey had more than 11.
The Boston area was expecting 4 to 6, while inland Connecticut and Massachusetts were looking at a foot or more.
In some places, the snow and freezing rain eased up during the day, but a second wave was expected overnight into Friday.
In New York, Min Lin, 36, died when she was struck by a utility vehicle with a snowplow as it backed up outside a shopping center in Brooklyn. Her nearly full-term baby was delivered in critical condition via cesarean section.
No immediate charges were brought against the snowplow operator.
In Bonneau, S.C., Jimmy Ward and his wife, Cherie, lost power and spent Wednesday night in their home, warming themselves in front of a gas log fire.
But after running low on propane, they headed for a hotel.
"From 2 o'clock yesterday until this morning, it just sounded like gunfire — all the trees popping and falling," Cherie Ward said.
In North Carolina, where the storm caused huge traffic jams in the Raleigh area on Wednesday as people left work and rushed to get home in the middle of the day, National Guardsmen in high-riding Humvees patrolled the snowy roads, looking for any stranded motorists.


text: Home Gallery Video Dove The Beauty Patch Dove Follows Up Real Beauty Sketches with 'The Beauty Patch' Ogilvy Returns with Another Social Experiment Published on Apr 09, 2014 Editor's Pick Ogilvy & Mather is hoping that their latest campaign for Dove might garner them the viral play and accolades last year's "Real Beauty Sketches" did. The new campaign, which takes the form of another social experiment guided by psychologist Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke (who is known for treatment of eating disorders and unhealthy body image), invited women to wear a "beauty patch" for two weeks. They told the women that it would help them "feel more beautiful." Later, they were asked how they felt -- all of them said wearing the patch helped improve self-esteem. Of course, the patch contained nothing. While the film is nicely shot, you do have to wonder at the veracity of the campaign -- after all, who would believe someone that told them that such a thing as a self-esteem patch even existed?

I was wondering if its possible to get my money back for a purchased theme?
I'm not sure, but what's wrong with it?
Good question. (Thinking probably not.)
If there is something wrong with the file then contact the author first. If it cannot be resolved then a refund may be possible by contacting support but you need to have a pretty good reason.
Very often most problems can be resolved between the buyer and seller
highly doubt there is a refund as it is digital goods.
sure it was said before in an old thread. cant remember exactly.
The difference in refunds for a place like FlashDen or ThemeForest and places like retail stores is that if you return the item at a retail store, you are returning a physical good, that's why you'll get a refund just because you changed your mind. But on here I could just buy, download, say I changed my mind and still have the goods. That's a no go.
If something is genuinely broken or doesn't do what it says it does then first contact the author. If the author doesn't help then go to ThemeForest support to turn in the author for having a broken file, and they'll either fix it for you, or refund you, and action will be taken against the author. KEEP IN MIND that this is only for a broken file! Not for support on a file! Authors have no obligation to support you in your usage of the file, nor does ThemeForest.
there would never be a refund because someone can buy something, make a copy and ask for a refund, thus not having a refund. You can only seek help from the authors in any problems you may encounter.
there would never be a refund because someone can buy something, make a copy and ask for a refund, thus not having a refund. You can only seek help from the authors in any problems you may encounter.
Of course unless the file does not work as advertised, then the user is entitled to have it fixed, or get a refund
As many of the other said, we will only refund your money if the item you purchased was not as described. Due to the nature of digital goods, it must be this way, unfortunately.
Your best option is to contact the author if you're having trouble. Though not required, most of them are extremely helpful when working with buyers.

Recently, I had the opportunity to write a white paper on the topic of
IP Telephony (IPT) security.
In talking with executives from Cisco and 3Com, the two leaders in
enterprise IPT, one key point became very clear: Telephony should be
viewed as simply another way to leverage a corporation's IP network
infrastructure. Bits are bits, after all. Layer 3 of the seven-layer OSI
reference model, the network layer, cares not one bit (sorry about that)
whether the bits it transports are from a telephone conversation, word
processing documents, or pictures of little Patrick's soccer game.
When you look at IPT this way, it's not that far of a leap for solutions
integrators with the appropriate resources to ponder the benefits of
offering telephony solutions.
We're not talking VoIP, the "voice over IP" technology that has come to
be associated mostly with consumer-level products. IPT is different. IPT
is telephony solutions for the corporate enterprise. Is the Internet
involved? Not necessarily. IPT is perfect for the corporate campus,
running within the corporate network. In that regard, it is unfortunate
IP is short for Internet Protocol. Perhaps calling it RCP (really cool
protocol) would have been better. But the Internet is there, so
connecting to branch offices, of course, can be accomplished rather
The beauties of IPT are several.
For the corporation, there's no longer a need to run separate, distinct
networks for voice and data. The old PBX-based system and its switching
equipment can be removed and put out with the trash. Those closets full
of wire bundles with their thousands of ultrathin twisted pairs that
lead to individual phone extensions can be reclaimed as space usable for
a more productive purpose. Besides, walking into one of those wiring
closets usually results in an experience akin to entering a church
sanctuary: awe, mysticism, and, of course, an immediate yielding to a
higher authority, in this case the third-party "telephone guy." Why deal
with that when the existing IP network is willing?
For the integrator, you get to sell IP telephony servers, lots of
IP-based desktop telephones, firewalls for the necessary bolstering of
security (more about that later), and wonderful telephony applications
that leverage not just the network, but the data files already living
there. You also get to run more Cat5 cabling, probably sell more
switches, offer training, management software, and more.
Not surprisingly, security plays a big role in designing and
implementing an IPT system. The risks are no greater than with a PBX
system, but they are different. IPT is safest when run on a different
network segment than data. Hardening the network helps secure it against
the ills data can fall prey to --- denial of service, spoofing, packet
sniffing, viruses, worms, and others. Hardening the underlying data
network at Layer 2 and Layer 3 includes bolstering security on routers
and switches with technologies including stateful firewalls,
intrusion-detection systems, and intrusion-prevention systems.
Security encompasses many facets, not all of them technical.
Corporatewide policies regarding access control, authentication
practices, and forced password rotation are essential.
I can understand the reluctance for integrators to shy away from
telephony. It's vastly different than the network-based applications
we're used to. But since it amounts to another service running on the IP
network, a few integrator colleagues are expressing what I'd
characterize as cautious interest. That's probably a good way to dangle
a toe in the water.

I really like Google Analytics. You can do more clever analytical reviews with it than many people assume. Ever since I kicked this blog out of the long grass at the start of the year I've been using
user-defined segmentation. I've been tracking link clicks.
On this blog there are four types of clicks that I track:
- Blog Clicks - clicks on the blog roll
- External Clicks - clicks to external sites
- Nav Clicks - clicks on the navigation
- Social Clicks - clicks on the digg, del.icio.us, etc links at the bottom of the posts
The P/Visit column is the one to watch. This records the pages per visit. The highest value is on External-Clicks up at 2.89. That's nearly twice as many page views any other.
To be brutal - these are low P/Visit counts. Blogs tend to be low as readers pop in based on an RSS prompt or tag match and then leave again. However, this data goes back until Janurary so there is a clear trend.
This data should not be taken as scientific. I've not closed the test. I meddled with my tracking some point.

Hello fellow conservation heroes, Zena the Zookeeper here. The summer excitement just keeps on rolling here at Oakland Zoo! This month, we are celebrating the arrival of two totally beautiful new warthogs. Yes, you heard right – bea-u-ti-ful wartrhogs! I could just watch these two lovely ladies for hours on end! We got them from two zoos in the southern United States, the Atlanta (Georgia) Zoo and the Jacksonville (Florida) Zoo. I hope Simon, our resident male warthog, thinks they are as beautiful as I do. If Simon agrees with me, then maybe we'll be lucky enough to have some baby piglets join the sounder (sounder means a small group of warthogs).
We zookeepers are pretty proud of our little three-warthog sounder, and of how well the three of them are all getting along. Sometimes it can take many weeks for female warthogs to learn to get along, but our ladies had not problems at all adjusting to their new home or to Simon, or each other. Hmmm… I wonder if it was all the fresh grasses, fruit, and enrichment items we put in their enclosure
Just look at the three of them playing together with their ball in this picture! They're getting along like three peas – I mean pigs – in a pod!
And here's a little fascinating fact for you – warthogs really do have warts! The warts are on their heads, where they also have not one but TWO sets of tusks.
Warthogs are also powerful diggers, using their disc-like snout with their legs to dig for roots and tubers. They often lower themselves closer to the ground by bending their wrists (like Simon is doing in this picture).
Looks pretty awkward to me, but don't worry, it doesn't hurt. They have special thick, calloused pads of skin to protect them when they're bending down like that. And just like all species of pigs, warthogs love to roll around in the mud when the weather gets too hot for them.
So see? These creatures are sweet and loveable and oh so fun to watch – just bea-u-ti-ful. I'm sure you'll agree with me when you come visit them for yourselves. See you at the Zoo!

When Alex was diagnosed with autism, his parents had two choices: do what they were told (and could afford), or do what they thought best.
When Anthony Macris' son was diagnosed with autism, he and his partner Kathy had two choices - do what they were told, and could afford, or do what they thought best.
This is the tragic, joyful, instructive story of how Anthony and Kathy took control of the therapy themselves, turning their lives upside down to do so. It took a long time, but the radiance did return to Alex's face. By then he was a completely different person, and so were his parents.
When Horse Became Saw is also an invaluable guide through the obstacles faced by anyone in this situation. It beautifully paints the emotional world of a father who finds himself in the strange country of autism – and something of a stranger in his own country, whose government refused to fund the therapy his son so desperately needed.
'A heartbreaking account . . . one which will fill you with hope and love at the same time.' Canberra Times
'In restrained, lyrical prose Anthony Macris records [the family's] journey through profound anguish and moments of intense joy.' The Age

My name is Brice Roland. The following is a documentation of how I created and programmed my robot, "Deadbot." It is number 105 and the Fluke number is 0208.
I've been in computer science for the past two and a half years. I'm looking to go into game and ultimately be a media designer in some form or fashion. My robot has yet to be programmed, or even connected to, but will be designed to be similar to the character Deadpool from Marvel comics.
For my first assignment, I programmed a project that consisted of 3 steps: A drawing, a sensor-test and a song. All three of these were done by the robot.
Pre-Lab: First of all, for the drawing, I will design a minimalistic light bulb for the robot to draw. During the performance, the robot will check for a white surface to be on using the line sensor, and then will draw the bulb utilizing the motors mechanism and a series of loops and statements. Next, the robot will ask to be prompted to go to the next step using the Infra-red sensors on the back. When a hand is placed behind the robot and it is on a black surface, it will begin to look for a brighter area in the room. The rand() function will be used to randomize the robot's turn in regards to obstacle sensing in order to prevent collision. This is also where I will use the obstacle sensor. Once the bot finds a significantly brighter area, it will spin in a circle and play a version of All of the Lights, by Kanye West.
The following is a link to the video on Youtube:
Robot Video
And here is the code I used:
I, along with two other group members Shane Mileham (Jack Falcon), Gimin Moon (Aero), and Ravin Shah (Ron Burgundy), discovered as a collective what it takes to program a robot specifically. We utilized the robot's turn and move functions to draw out certain patterns on a dry-erase mat. The following is our attempt at a spiral-like design.
Additionally, my group and I utilized the robot's sensor readings to determine placement and light reflections. We determined the robot returned a 0 value when on a surface due to an infrared sensor on its bottom side. Consequently, when not on a surface, the robot returns a 1 value.
In part two of this lab, we tested other sensors. My robot had the following readings:
Battery: 7.48285
Left Light Sensor: 65312
Middle Light Sensor: 65408
Right Light Sensor: 65408
Left Obstacle Sensor: 6400
Center Obstacle Sensor: 6400
Right Obstacle Sensor: 6400
Left IR Sensor: 0
Right IR Sensor: 0
Line Sensor: 0,0
Here are the links for my group's sites:
Jerry Webb: www-scf.usc.edu/~jerryweb/graffitibot.html
Kyu Hyun Chang: www-scf.usc.edu/~kyuhyunc
Mika Aitbay: www-scf.usc.edu/~aitbayev/myrobot.html
As part of this lab, my group and I developed 'intelligence' for the robot units, utilizing for and while loops as well as if-else statements. By
utilizing these in combination with the sensor information, our robots were able to act in relation to certain conditions. Our program in particular caused
the robot to move forward until it reached a certain distance from an object. It then turned up to five times to find an open pathway, and then beeped at a
certain frequecy depending how dark/bright the light sensors read. Additionally the line sensor was used to ensure the robot was on a dark surface.
My lab partners were:
Ravin Shah (Ron Burgundy)
Alex Zhang (SC2)
Yinyi Chen (Ed)
During this lab, we developed an algorithm for drawing the fibonacci curve, which consists of an ever-increasing spiral that increases in radius according to fibonacci's number sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,etc.). By calculating the distance from the center of the circles' radius to either wheel, we approximated the speed one should go to replicate the curve. We calculated the radius within a while loop, to constantly check for an updated speed for the one wheel that changed with every new section of the curve. The following is the finished product:

Hello all you Modern Homemakers,
I don't know if it's just me but I feel as if the holidays come with a decent share of stress. Which is crazy, right? I mean Christmas is supposed to be a good thing. Getting together with family and friends, time off work, and special activities and gifts. But I've had to stop myself multiple times this week from little panic attacks.
And then I had a moment of clarity. All of these "stressors" and "burdens" were things that I've essentially put on myself. So I've decided it's time to prioritize. One of the main reasons I like being a homemaker is because I get to choose what to do with my time. So how did I let that get away from me?
I still want to do all of those things. But it's time to prioritize. I'm taking each day as it comes. Dealing with one thing on my list at a time. And realizing that I'm human so not everything is going to get done. And strangely enough I'm ok with that.
Okay fellow homemakers… I'd love to hear some feedback. Am I the only one who is experiencing a holiday meltdown? What all are you overwhelmed by, and do you have any good ideas for coping with all of the extra "to do's" of the holiday season?
Wishing you all the best of luck in managing your stress load,
If you haven't already done so make sure to sign up for the Modern Homemakers email list. That way you won't miss a single update 🙂

People whose lives were upended by Hurricane Sandy joined other voters on Tuesday to cast ballots after elected officials in New York and New Jersey rushed to move scores of polling places that had become unusable because of power failures, flooding or evacuations.
With neighbourhoods still inundated by debris, silt and water, many people had to go to great lengths to cast a ballot in places that are little recovered from what officials describe as the worst storm damage to hit the New York City region, and where the prospect of more violent wind and torrential rain is looming.
New York's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, said a powerful nor'easter expected to hit the area late on Wednesday could bring a surge in the water level of as much as 1.5 meters at high tides — far less than the hurricane brought ashore, but enough to reflood low-lying areas.
With one eye on the approaching storm, untold thousands of residents in the region devoted their energy, patience and, in some cases, ingenuity to voting.
Just after daybreak in Bay Head, New Jersey, Shelly Coleman and her husband, Terrance, bundled up in winter jackets, left their sodden, water-damaged home and headed to the Bay Head firehouse, where a makeshift polling place had sprouted — literally overnight.
The firehouse, powered by an industrial-size generator that rumbled like the engine of a jet airliner, was one of the few places with heat in the tiny seaside borough, just below Point Pleasant Beach.
"Guess what? We got water back on Friday. It was so exciting," Shelly Coleman said, approaching the borough's clerk.
Though the region hit by Hurricane Sandy is not expected to be in play in the presidential election, the combination of the storm and heavy turnout yielded long lines, confusion, frustration and anger.
At several polling sites in New York City, the vote scanning machines being used for the first time in a presidential election malfunctioned, forcing workers to resort to paper ballots and slowing the process even more.
Maura Green was trying to vote in the East Village but her ballot was rejected by the scanning machine, and she had a hard time getting help from poll workers, some of whom were blaming one another for the problems.
"It seemed the poll workers were not very organized or didn't prepare," Green said. "It was very chaotic. They didn't seem to have a plan."

The Emachines EM250 netbook "rebadged acer aspire" works perfect on a hard disk install of bt4. However, it throws out an acer-wmi device not found on startup.. This means a couple of the function keys will not work. Those are the ones which control the acpi functions.
After hacking my install to pieces for a few days with no luck(pm-utils, powermanager, kpowersave), I decided to give up on trying to fix it. Until recently when I was messing around with kde kdm I found that kdm's gui shutdown menu had suspend and hibernate added to it so I gave hibernate a shot and voila! gives 1 or 2 warnings about irq stat and some other exception but it actually does hibernate and resume on power on.
I would of been happy with just a command line hibernate..but there you have it right inside kde!
open terminal and type: sudo apt-get install kdm
Final note: if you want an even quicker resume with no error msgs just hit suspend instead. No need to blacklist acer-wmi.

North Korean refugees survive mountainside ordeal of cold, hunger
Page Tools
A North Korean couple who fled to China in search of a better life have told how they spent two years hiding in a burrow dug in snowbound mountains to avoid being captured and sent home.
Sung Kyung-il and his wife, Chu Myung-hee, survived bitterly cold winters and the threat of starvation after digging a cave in the side of Dokgol Mountain, in the rugged terrain of north-east China.
Like many other North Koreans, the couple escaped the dictatorial regime and constant famine under the mistaken impression China would offer a better standard of living and more freedom.
They quickly learnt, however, that they faced being deported by the Chinese police back to North Korea, where they would have risked torture, imprisonment and possible execution.
To avoid arrest, the pair fled to a remote spot in the border region, hacking out a shelter from the mountain's frozen slopes and covering it with grass and foliage.
They lived there for more than two years before escaping China to resettle in the South Korean city of Daegu, where their story of survival has just emerged.
"Other North Koreans were mostly single men, but I had a wife," Mr Sung, whose name is a pseudonym, told Radio Free Asia. "I was so agitated I decided to go into the mountains.
"Now we are sitting here and talking about the time when we built the house, but it was so painful then. The place was untouched by humans, and the ground was frozen so we could not dig very deep. We had to cut the trees and saw wood while we were hungry. We were never fed enough. But we thought we must live."
Mr Sung said that like most North Koreans, he had undergone military service and had been trained in survival and camouflage techniques. That knowledge, together with skills he picked up in the building trade, helped to keep the couple alive.
Nonetheless, the environment around their bolthole was so harsh that they were often reduced to living hand to mouth.
"Sometimes, we dug up and ate the potatoes we planted, even though they were not ripe, because we had no other food." Mr Sung said. "We had to have some food stored for winter time. So we dried vegetables and mushrooms."
Occasionally, driven by hunger, and the desperate desire for something other than vegetables to eat, they risked arrest to head down the mountain and scavenge for food in a nearby village. Sympathetic locals would sometimes give them food in exchange for some of their own offerings.

Like most other football fans, I respect Brett Favre (aside from his waffling and wishy-washy mannerisms) and what he has accomplished in his NFL tenure. He is an amazing player and is in many ways unparalleled in his accolades.
However, there are two sides to Brett Favre. In essence there is both a good and evil version of the man. The good Brett Favre is the man who runs down field after throwing a touchdown and picks up his receiver in a fireman's carry. The evil Brett Favre is the one who has ripped out the hearts of other team's fans more than one would like to count. The latter Favre is one 49er fans know all too well.
I have spoken with several Green Bay Packer fans since Favre left the frozen tundra. Most of them, if not all have conveyed a genuine distaste for the man since his departure to greener (the Jets) and now purpler (is that even a word?) pastures. Seemingly even those who once loved him dearly admit to the wickedness of this "Bizzaro Favre".
As 49er fans, my family, friends and I can tell you unequivocally and without trepidation that the evil Favre exists to torture us without an ounce of hesitation. It has been one of his game day staples since taking over for an ineffective Don Majowski a game and a half into the 1992 season.
I am still haunted by recollections of Favre running amuck on the field, tossing touchdowns with abandon, and evading blitz packages like a straight man with a bull's-eye on his rear in the Castro District. More often than not this catalog of heinous memoirs culminated with Favre ending the 49ers season in the playoffs. My father's hatred for him might run deeper than mine as he once referred to Favre as the "antichrist". That might have been a bit harsh, the second coming of Stalin maybe, but the antichrist?
Regardless, as I continue to go through life with these visions in my head I am left with three that while I have tried for years to dispel, are the worst and most anguishing of my sports existence.
October 14, 1996: Six days before my son was born the 49ers went to Green Bay on a Monday night and took an early 17-6 lead on their new rivals behind backup quarterback Elvis Grbac's two touchdown connections with Jerry Rice. The game fell apart in the second half as Favre completed a 29-yard dart to Don Beebe who fell the ground, rose to his feet and ran to the end zone for the score.
Replays would show that cornerback Marquez Pope had touched Beebe after he fell, meaning he should have been called down. At the time the league lacked a replay system so the touchdown stood. The Packers played San Francisco to a 20-20 tie in the fourth quarter and won the game on an overtime field goal. Sure this was only a regular season game on the way to a 12-4 campaign but I saw it as a sign of things to come, and of course it has been just that.
January 13, 2002 – Wildcard Playoff: Horrible, horrible game is all I can say on this one. The 49ers went into Lambeau field led by Jeff Garcia, Terrell Owens, and a stingy defense. The first two quarters were played to a virtual standstill as the visitors went to the locker room ahead 7-6. The second half was a different story entirely as Favre who was a very mortal 6 of 8 for 43 yards to that point, returned to God-like form going 16 of 21 for 226 yards. His virtuoso performance subsequently ended the 49ers season yet again. As Favre stood on the sidelines with that damn cheesy grin he might as well have been digesting my freshly removed heart. I don't think I had ever hated him more…
… until now.
September 27, 2009: There are a few other games that could merit being my top three losses at the hands of the "man that time forgot" but this one makes the list for a myriad of reasons. First and foremost the 49ers had this game won. There was just a bit too much Favre magic at the end.
To lose a game that they had a very real chance to win hurts a player and does not dissipate quickly, but it comes with the territory. For a fan it can be almost as horrible an experience. The back and forth of this game was so intense I needed a pick line attached to a bag of vodka midway through the third quarter.
I just remember the air being sucked out of my living room as soon as referee Jerome Boger came back with the verdict that decided the game. It brought back all of the disturbing recollections from the past. This was the 49ers chance to truly put themselves on the NFL map by dispatching of the media darling Vikings in their own backyard. Even more important is that this was an opportunity to put Favre in his place and show him that the 49ers were not going to be his perennial whipping boys any longer. They went after the best player in the game in Adrian Peterson and held him under 100 yards rushing and no touchdowns. The defense played exceptionally well, even with leaving at least three interceptions on the field and the 49ers had a chance to win despite losing Frank Gore to an ankle strain on his first carry of the game.
I failed to see it through my rage on Sunday but there is in fact a silver lining to this loss. I actually felt pain from it, it mattered to me, more so then any other loss since that 2002 playoff defeat. The past six years have been nothing short of agonizing, revolting even.
The 49ers had been the epitome of a rudderless ship under Dennis Erickson and Mike Nolan. They failed to post a winning record in any of those seasons. It's as if a long lost friend whose company was enjoyed every Sunday without fail disappeared from my life, never to be seen again. With Mike Singletary being named head coach last December after the season finale that friend seems to have come home. It's re-emerged in the form of a true team, one who will go the extra mile for each other and leave it all on the field. The fiery coach has instilled a very real identity in San Francisco. It no longer appears that the players and coaches are just going through the motions and collecting a weekly game check.
With a record of 2-1 the 49ers lead the NFC West by one game over Arizona and Seattle, the two teams they have already beaten. Sure they could and should be 3-0 but they sit in a respectable position nonetheless. With a home game this Sunday against the lowly St. Louis Rams all signs point to them moving to 3-1 and taking a commanding division lead.
I highly doubt that Sunday's loss will determine the season, Singletary won't allow it. With postgame locker room comments like; "You hold your head up! You do not need to put your head down for nobody! You hold your head up! You understand? You hold your head up, your shoulders back and let's rock! OK?" and "We'll see them again, in the playoffs!" we can surmise as much.
Regardless, I will always loathe Brett Favre!!!

Obviously the right saxophone for you will depend on what type of saxophone you play, and you can bet that P. Mauriat specializes in them all. By simply glancing at their first page, you'll quickly find intermediate baritones, professional tenors, and even sopranos. In fact, P. Mauriat also offers signature models, like the Greg Osby Signature Series Professional Alto Saxophone. Boasting a cognac lacquered body, sterling silver neck, and a plated bell, this saxophone's creation began in 2011 when Greg Osby approached P. Mauriat with ideas regarding how the perfect alto sax should look and sound. After two years of research and design, the result is a saxophone with a complex and full tone, and a shimmering beauty that is simply unmatched by any other horn.
Now if it's an intermediate baritone sax that you're looking for, check out the Les Bravo 200B. Combining a warm, resonant red brass with a powerful solid nickel silver neck, this sax produces a thick sound with a punch that will demand the attention of everyone in attendance at your next performance. Like all P. Mauriat woodwinds, this sax is handmade by an expert team of elite craftsmen, and its perfect mix of alloys makes it ideal for both professional R&B and jazz horn sections.
P. Mauriat believes that high quality musical instruments should be accessible to anyone who has a passion for sharing their talents with an audience, and their dedication is apparent in every woodwind instrument they design. With careful consideration given to every detail, P. Mauriat woodwind instruments boast exceptional response, precise intonation, and a bold tone that will satisfy anyone who wants their greatest potential fully realized.

When the crafts and do-it-yourself bonanza Maker Faire rolled through New York City, most of the products on display were pretty small scale. But the hand-painted helmets and homemade jewelry were dwarfed by Gon KiRin: the fire-breathing dragon art car that seats 25.
The work of Ryan C. Doyle, his two assistants named Ryan, and Hong Kong artist Teddy Lo, the dragon is made of steel and found objects. The group collected metal, shredded tires, and several sofas from fellow artists, junkyards and the street. They added a 250 gallon propane tank to provide Gon KiRin's fire-breathing abilities.
The dragon's head and tail are hydraulic operated. Doyle wanted his creature to defy the "red velvet rope factor" that keeps spectators at arms' length from works of art. Gon KiRin has seating in the tail section, under the stomach, and in the mouth. The public is encouraged to swing its tail back and forth, and to push the big red button that makes flames shoot from its mouth.
The project started in the Bay Area, but Doyle thought it more appropriate to finish the building process in Detroit. So he moved to the Motor City, bought a house, and settled in. And he was right: what better place to create a remarkably imaginative car than the home of the American auto industry?
This Maker Faire video explains the whole process:

On this day... in 1963, JFK was in Houston
President JFK and the Former First Lady were in Houston at the Rice Hotel on November 21, 1963, the eve of his assassination. A silent color home movie shot on 8mm film. In this film, they made an impromptu appearance at a LULAC event. Mariachis were playing behind them and Jackie, who knew spanish was translating the song to Jack. Also, KTRH was headquartered at the Rice Hotel at the time.
Also, footage of their drive through the city of Houston, which sure looked quite different 50 years ago. This too is footage recorded on November 21, 1963, the day before he was killed in Dallas, Texas on a tour of the state.

Army veteran offers leadership, perspective for La Roche baseball
La Roche baseball coach Chase Rowe and his right fielder, John Watson, frequently talk about hitting and other aspects of the game. They also have discussed teething, diaper rash and how girls generally talk sooner than boys.
Both have 3-year-old sons.
"We've definitely had some interesting conversations on the ballfield," Rowe said.
Rowe, 30, became a head coach at 23, a toddler among peers. Watson is much older than his teammates and maybe all his opponents. A junior, he is 26, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan. His teammates call him "Sarge" and "Grandaddy," with respect.
"I know the guys look up to him," Rowe said.
"I think he gives us a good perspective," senior shortstop and captain Sean Lubin said. "Us being in our early 20s or late teens, sometimes things can seem a lot worse than they are. He keeps everyone grounded."
Like his teammates, Watson can hit, too. La Roche, which went 15-1 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference and hosts the AMCC Tournament starting Friday, leads Division III in slugging percentage (.528) and is sixth in runs per game (8.9).
The Redhawks have outscored opponents 356-135.
Watson is batting .371 with a club-best six home runs. If that sounds modest, consider that the team hit nine homers in the past two seasons combined. It has 21 this season.
"(Watson) has tremendous, tremendous power," said Rowe, adding that "he's still developing as a hitter."
Watson stands 6-foot-3 1⁄2, weighs 205 pounds and is miles ahead of last season, when he joined the team as a walk-on. He transferred from CCAC Boyce after the school dropped baseball.
"Last year was the first year I played real baseball," he said. "I came from a high school that wasn't too successful. I never really had a coach that really cared or wanted to win as much as Coach Rowe.
"This year, it's been more (a matter of) experience at the plate. Remembering some of the pitchers, how they pitched to me, laying off bad pitches. I really didn't have any knowledge of the game. It took me awhile to catch on."
Watson grew up in Frisco, Texas. He married the girl next door, Tiffanie, whom he has known since seventh grade, after returning from Afghanistan in 2009. Caleb is their son. Watson is majoring in health science. He wants to pursue a graduate degree and work helping veterans.
Inspired by his family's military backround and a friend who served, Watson enlisted after high school and was deployed in April 2008. He served 13 months in Afghanistan with Bravo Company 1506, helping provide security for the locals and supply vehicles, and engaging in keeping the peace, or "letting the Taliban know we were there," he said.
Some of the firefights were "intense," said Watson, who was discharged as an E5 sergeant. "It was life-changing. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. A lot of rounds are going over your head, and you don't know where they're coming from."
When he struggles at the plate, he said, "I tell myself it's not the end of the world."
Lubin said he and his teammates "ask (Watson) questions here and there," but don't press him on his military experiences. Said Rowe, "We really don't talk about it. I prefer to let him be a college student."
"I absolutely love baseball," Watson said. "I love the competitive nature. I love being part of the team. It reminds me of my platoon in the military, how close we are."

Here's an inconvenient truth: those travel-sized snacks available at the supermarkets and gas stations are not only bad for your waistline. They can also wreak havoc on your health and mess up your car in a heartbeat.
And they can ruin your road trip.
But what should you do on an extended family road trip? You know the kids will get antsy without food in the car – and the adults, too, if we're honest. It is a comfort to know that snacks that we like is nearby, especially when we're far from home.
Since you're reading this article, I have good news. You're already one step ahead. My first bit of advice is to plan your meals and avoid packing the following food types that would mess up of your car, cause you to gain weight, feel uncomfortable or potentially make you sick. I bet you can name a few yourself.
The heart attack. You know that fast food isn't a good choice, but let's add convenience foods and processed foods to this category as well. This is both the easiest and hardest category to avoid. It takes planning and discipline to turn into the grocery store instead of the drive-through, but even then, you're still not out of trouble.
We're concerned with fats and sodium levels that affect your blood-pressure and heart health. So when you're at the deli in the grocers, choose foods naturally low-fat and low-sodium. And avoid over-sized rolls that will add carbohydrates to the mix. Carbs mixed with high-fat and sodium counts will just lay like a brick in your stomach, making sitting and driving uncomfortable. And they'll add a few pounds to your stature.
False energy. Soda and caffeinated drinks are dangerous for the driver and the mental health of the occupants, if not the waistline. I include energy elixirs in this category. Beverages high in sugar and caffeine will cause bloating, dehydration, and bursts of energy that are difficult to contain. Kids especially have a hard time with energy burst which may lead to in backseat arguments, kicking of the seats or loud sing-alongs. As the sugar and caffeine wear off, sleepiness may set in. Also, watch out for fake sugar sweetened drinks or "sugar alcohol" that can negatively affect your metabolism causing you to pack on the pounds.
The irritant. Don't pack the juice boxes. If you have ever had to insert the straw into a Capri Sun or Juicy Juice you know the straw acts as a projector making 4 to 6 ounces of drink into a potential sticky juice shooter. Beyond the mess factor you will see effects similar to those mentioned in the false energy category. But what many forget is juices are high in acid that can irritate the bladder and cause painful potty stops.
The clot. It's so convenient to grab a pack of muffins or mini donuts as a breakfast substitute. I mean, they're individually wrapped already. Here's the bad news: cakes, cookies, pies, crackers, pastries and all sorts of sugary products are low in fiber yet high in fat and sugar. I don't want to downplay this part. They are really high in fat and sugar. As a result, the body processes them in such a way that increases the risk of chronic constipation. Plus the sticky icings, powdered sugar and sugar granules will end up a permanent part of the upholstery.
The mess. But the biggest mess comes from foods we think are the best for travel. Raise your hand if you pack trail mix, zip-up baggies of cereal or chocolate-covered power bars. I have been a big supporter of these foods for road trips because they actually are good for you and will keep you feeling full longer because they are high in fiber and sometimes protein as well.
But pack them at your own peril. It only takes a handful of Kix or Cheerios to land on the floor of the rental car and you'll be stopping by the vacuum at the next gas station. Kids aren't so careful with granola or trail mix either. And if there is chocolate or caramel involved, I don't care what the weather — it's going to melt to goo.
Of course you can avoid the mess by choosing not to eat in the car. This might require more frequent stops, which I also suggest for keeping the trip healthy and fun.
So what should you pack? We travel with two coolers, a larger one to carry the meals you'll eat at picnic tables and rest stops along the way and a smaller second one for the back seat.
I'll share what we fill them with next week.

Scots Law
Scottish Law Questions? Ask a Scots Lawyer
I have been divorced from my wife for 20 years now. Both children live with her. Her aliment has long since expired (as per divorce settlement). For my daughter (now 21) who studies full time and works part-time, I pay aliment. My son is 24, left school, jobbed a little, lost 3 trainee positions and since last year went back to college to to a pre-course in IT. He wants to do a HNC next year. He has had nothing from me since he started work at 19. Have I got it all wrong and should be paying him? Just for the record, they are in Aberdeen and I live in Austria. Many thanks.
ps. Just for the books, I have always paid and more than was agreed on!
Thank you for your reply. I was pretty sure that I was okay but Scottish law is a bit different to any other. I would not like to do him out of anything legally his but he must also get a grip on life.
Thanks again.

Made in China, Part 2
In February of this year, at the Singapore Air Show, Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (Comac) unveiled a commercial aircraft designed and built entirely in China: the Comac C919 twin-jet airliner—considered by many to be a serious threat to the Boeing 737. A Chinese-built version of the Airbus A320 was introduced last year.
Comac and other Chinese aircraft manufacturers rely on foreign-made engines and avionics, but intend to develop homegrown solutions for parts/components and systems currently outsourced.
In recent talks with a number of U.S. owned and operated aircraft parts suppliers, I have found that a great many industry players are delivering components to China aircraft makers.
"There is a great deal of excitement in the region," Mark Howes, president of Honeywell Aerospace Asia Pacific, told the BBC in an interview at the Singapore Air Show. "We're all negotiating and pursuing these deals." In fact, the Chinese aerospace market has attracted the attention of a wealth of Western suppliers—including Rockwell Collins, General Electric, and Honeywell.
"[Chinese aircraft makers] will add a whole new level of economic activity to our industry," continued Howes.
Indeed, the growing Chinese aerospace market is likely providing a much-needed shot in the arm to U.S. firms challenged by current economic conditions. It is cause to wonder, however, whether the industry will suffer long-term as China continues its upward trend, and potentially displaces longtime industry giants.
It's a complex issue, one which potentially has military ramifications and which this geek (and many others) will continue to ponder.

early 15c., from Old French rural (14c.), from Latin ruralis "of the countryside," from rus (genitive ruris) "open land, country," from PIE *reue- "to open; space" (see room (n.)).
In early examples, there is usually little or no difference between the meanings of rural and rustic, but in later use the tendency is to employ rural when the idea of locality (country scenes, etc.) is prominent, and rustic when there is a suggestion of the more primitive qualities or manners naturally attaching to country life.

text: Yea I agree with this. The white one I got is pretty bad. I have them in blue then a couple other EFC shirts in checked pattern and navy. So far I haven't received a white shirt from Uniqlo I have liked other than the Oxford cloth shirt. Anyone have any experience with the slub shirts? Wondering if it is a bit thicker material than the EFC but lighter than the oxfords.
