Hi Mountain Hot Caramel Apple Crunch
We have not reviewed camping meals before. We kinda buy them to have as an easy take along for canoe camping, and we usually use brands that are common and well-known. Recently, I used this item as an 'add-on" to a Sierra Trading Post order. I had never heard of this company, since they specialize in jerky and meats, which we do not eat. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this apple dessert (or breakfast). When canoe camping, we often use freeze-dried entrees, since we often… Full review
Trader Joe's Pound Plus 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate
Mountaineers, hikers, and other adventurers have long known the magical properties of good dark chocolate. Rejuvenating to both body and spirit this Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate is great for a mid-day snack or campsite treat. It travels well even on long hot days. The Trader Joe's Pound Plus 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate is a very usable, no frills, imported chunk of chocolate. As the name implies it weighs in at 17.6oz or a nice round 500g, though maybe I should say square since it is easily divided… Full review
Backpacker's Pantry Creme Brulee
Sweet, creamy and tasty dessert that is a lot like the real thing. Easy to prepare and fun to share. My son and I have always enjoyed the Mountain House Raspberry Cobbler for desserts while out camping. We are big fans of the cobbler. ;-) On our most recent trip we brought a new dessert along with us as well as the cobbler. We brought BP Crème Brulee. Crème Brulee is one of my favorite desserts to begin with so I was excited about trying this one. Well, I can definitely say it didn't disappoint. … Full review
Natural High Banana Cream Pie
Of myself, my wife, and son, none of us liked this at all. A spoonful each, a contorted facial expression and the rest went in the trash. The package claims "No preservative, no artificial colors, flavors or additives" but reading through the ingredients reveals "Partially Hydrogenated Soybean &/or Cottonseed Oils." Do NOT recommend. One of several new deserts taken on a recent 6-day trip. This was relatively easy to prepare. Mix with water, stir, wait, stir and top with the crumb topping. There… Full review
Mountain House Blueberry Cheescake
A sweet treat. Definitely a nice change of pace than the average meals. I prefer using a little less water than recommended. It was very watery. The taste got old after eating more than a third. I enjoy that you don't have to boil that much water and the rest is cold. Best for a group of 3 IMO. Perfect for a midday snack and provides you with enough carbs for a decent dose of energy. Full review
Mountain House Blueberry Cheescake
This is more of a pudding when eaten from the bag but it's good! Very easy to make. A 1/4 cup of hot water is needed to rehydrate the blueberries and the rest just needs cold water. A single serving easily feeds two people and three just needing "a little something sweet". Full review

At their meeting Monday night, the Johnson County School District One board of Trustees discussed whether or not to move toward giving the old Clear Creek School building back to the City of Buffalo.
District Superintendent Dr. Rod Kessler tells us what happened at the meeting concerning the school building.
The City is looking at turning the building over to the Buffalo/Johnson County Economic Development Joint powers Board to oversee and administer .
The building will house, according to many reports, Sheridan College in Johnson County and the Boys and Girls Club of the Bighorns. Much of the building, like the old gymnasium and newer classrooms will be utilized for the two main tenants and for community use, according to public meetings held on the matter.
The original agreement, between the city sold the land the school sits on to the school district for $1 back in the early 1900s. The agreement calls for the city to have First Right Of Refusal concerning the property and can buy it back for the same $1 fee.
Buffalo City Planner Zach Montgomery explains what the next step in the process is.
Montgomery said the Boys and Girls Club and Sheridan College in Johnson County can both occupy the building while grants are applied for and renovations are done to the building.

Rubicon Water has a vision to improve the productivity of the world's farmers in an environmentally sustainable way. We do this by delivering advanced technology to managers of gravity fed irrigation networks that enables them to operate and manage their water resources to unprecedented levels of efficiency and control. Irrigation authorities can now deliver accurately measured, constant high-flow, on-demand water to farmers utilizing existing open canal systems with limited outfalls at the end of canals. With this level of service, farmers are better positioned to make irrigation management decisions, receiving the water their plants need, when they need it at the rate they need it, avoiding wastage and fertilizer runoff.
Rubicon is the only company in the world that is totally focused upon improving large scale, gravity fed irrigation systems. This gives us a unique ability to provide our customers with solutions that are built exactly to solve the distinct and special problems that our customers face, unlike the traditional approach of adapting components that were designed for another purpose or another industry. Consequently our customers have the peace of mind that our solutions can be implemented quickly, cost effectively and with low risk.
To achieve our dedicated focus, we employ the widest range of specialists of any company in the field, a distinct advantage that Rubicon brings to our customers. These include civil, electrical, control and agricultural engineers, skilled radio frequency technicians, systems analysts, database experts and software programmers, SCADA design engineers, mechanical design draftsmen, expert electricians, solar power designers, machinists and boilermakers. All are focused upon practically solving real-world problems and continuous improvement of our products and solutions.

Memento Mori (1959)
by Muriel Spark (Author)
Work details
Memento Mori by Muriel Spark (Author) (1959)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I listened to this on audio while walking around my neighborhood. Because it was a few weeks after the autumnal equinox and I live in New England where the days in winter are painfully short (and cold), most of my walking was at night. One evening while listening to a particularly eerie bit, I heard a strange noise. It was a kind of rhythmic rustling noise, almost like footsteps. I turned quickly and looked behind me, but no one was there. I started walking again and the sound continued. I finally turned off the recording and quickly recognized the sound as the tops of my boots brushing one another. Between having the headphones on and the eeriness of the subject matter, I'd been convinced I was being followed. Even knowing the truth, it was hard to shake my unease.
And so, I learned my lesson about what type of book is best---or not best---for listening while walking alone after dark.
Actually, as a petite woman walking through a poorly-lit suburban neighborhood, I probably shouldn't be listening to headphones at all, but the audiobooks are all that make the painfully mundane landscape bearable. So, I continue listening. Maybe I'll give the neighbor's dog an extra walk as added security.
Despite the fear of being followed, I found this audiobook delightful. The people in it are, by and large, very self-absorbed and comically unaware of the fact. It occurred to me that I've read very few books---if any---about people in this age group, people who were middle-aged or older during the second world war. The writing felt so contemporary, I kept having to remind myself that the story was written and took place in the 1950's. At the first reference to a character parking his car in front of a bomb site in Chelsea, I was confused until I remembered the timeframe of the story.
It's strange to think of these characters as having lived through two world wars. It seems like their concerns would be somehow different because of that experience, but they weren't, really. In the end it's the same relationship difficulties, confusion, and concerns about aging that all of us experience to one degree or another, although perhaps with a little more drama.
I don't remember how I first learned about this book, but I'm glad I found it. It's my first Muriel Spark, and I intend to read more (especially now that I realize Spark wrote The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, the movie version of which I picked up because it stars a young Dame Maggie Smith (before the "Dame") but didn't finish. Now I can read the book and then maybe try the movie again).
Spark has her various characters work themselves up into a tizzy when they get a call telling them they have to die. This forces them to reflect on their past lives and wonder who is making the calls...ah, the sotted bitterness of it all!
Insanely enjoyable. This is the second Spark novel I've read (the first was the astonishing, short and brutal The Driver's Seat). Memento Mori is dry, veddy British, very acerbic and mordant. Damnation is it funny. If you are offended by frank treatments of aging and its indignities, do NOT read this. It looks like a mystery, but it really isn't one. It's just fun.
This was an odd little book. We follow the travails of a set of elderly people who are deteriorating at different rates. Some have all their faculties and freedom of movement, while others remain bedridden. Some are active in the community, and others have long memories for disagreements. One of these people is plagued with phone calls from a mysterious stranger who simply says "Remember, you must die."
This is an interesting portrait of old age in the late 1950s, and a reminder to the young that the old are not so different from them. It contains some surprising moments, some chuckles and a diverse cast of characters. But it didn't really begin or end; it just persisted until it stopped. If you want a character-driven book, this could be the ticket.
This is a strange, beautiful, eerily elegant book. The premise is simple: several elderly British people have been receiving phone calls from someone who says, "Remember you must die." How each of them responds to this message is the story, which is deeply humorous without being flippant.
I was surprised to see how young Spark was when she wrote this – she'd just turned 41 when it was published in 1959. I suppose I'm in no position to judge how accurately the characters are drawn, given I'm a mere slip of a 46-year-old thing. But the pains and indignities of old age seem to be brilliantly portrayed.
If this book sounds depressing, I'm telling it wrong. Okay, it's definitely a bit dark. One of my favorite characters, Jean Taylor, remarks, "Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield." And as I said, all the main characters are at least that old.
On the other hand, the prose is thickly laced with equally brilliant and far funnier passages, such as, "Mrs. Anthony knew instinctively that Mrs. Pettigrew was a kindly woman. Her instinct was wrong."
And this: "Lisa Brooke died in her seventy-third year after her second stroke. She had taken nine months to die, and in fact it was only a year before her death that, feeling rather ill, she had decided to reform her life, and reminding herself how attractive she still was, offered up the new idea, her celibacy, to the Lord to whom no gift whatsoever is unacceptable."
If that paragraph leaves you cold, this book is not for you. If it's your cup of tea, grab this strange, slim novel. Not only is the prose gorgeous all the way through, but the story is full of surprises. I can't describe the plot in any detail because I'll give something away. So I'll just say that in barely over 200 pages, there were at least five spots where my eyes widened and I thought, "WOW, did I not see that coming."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0811214389, Paperback)
Unforgettably astounding and a joy to read, Memento Mori is considered by many to be the greatest novel by the wizardly Dame Muriel Spark.In late 1950s London, something uncanny besets a group of elderly friends: an insinuating voice on the telephone informs each, "Remember you must die." Their geriatric feathers are soon thoroughly ruffled by these seemingly supernatural phone calls, and in the resulting flurry many old secrets are dusted off. Beneath the once decorous surface of their lives, unsavories like blackmail and adultery are now to be glimpsed. As spooky as it is witty, poignant and wickedly hilarious, Memento Mori may ostensibly concern death, but it is a book which leaves one relishing life all the more.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:52 -0400)
Each of a group of elderly friends receivea a phone call with the message, "Remember you must die." This brings many old secrets to light, including blackmail and adultery.

Case Conclusion Date: 02.12.2006
Practice Area: Violent crime
Outcome: NO TRUE BILL
Description: Ms. Greco was charged by the Nassau County District Attorney's Office with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon...an egg!! She was accused of acting in concert with 4 others with throwing an egg from a moving vehicle and it negligently hitting a child in the face, cracking and a piece of shell damaging the child's eye causing a permanent loss of some eyesight. Our argument was that the egg was not a dangerous instrument, nor was this so negligent as to rise to the level of a misdemeanor much less a felony. Our office convened a mock grand jury and prepared the client to testify in her own defense. The three other boys, all entered pleas to a misdemeanor assault. Our client went to the Grand Jury and convinced them that her act and that of the others was nothing more than a terrible accident. The grand jury found her innocent. They found there was NO PROBABLE CAUSE to find a crime.

Davis CA (SPX) Jun 27, 2013
You say tomato, I say comparative transcriptomics. Researchers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have produced the first comparison of both the DNA sequences and which genes are active, or being transcribed, between the domestic tomato and its wild cousins.
The results give insight into the genetic changes involved in domestication and may help with future efforts to breed new traits into tomato or other crops, said Julin Maloof, professor of plant biology in the College of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Davis. Maloof is senior author on the study, published June 24 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For example, breeding new traits into tomatoes often involves crossing them with wild relatives. The new study shows that a large block of genes from one species of wild tomato is present in domestic tomato, and has widespread, unexpected effects across the whole genome.
Maloof and colleagues studied the domestic tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, and wild relatives S. pennellii, S. habrochaites and S. pimpinellifolium. Comparison of the plants' genomes shows the effects of evolutionary bottlenecks, Maloof noted - for example at the original domestication in South America, and later when tomatoes were brought to Europe for cultivation.
Among other findings, genes associated with fruit color showed rapid evolution among domesticated, red-fruited tomatoes and green-fruited wild relatives. And S. pennellii, which lives in desert habitats, had accelerated evolution in genes related to drought tolerance, heat and salinity.
New technology is giving biologists the unprecedented ability to look at all the genes in an organism, not just a select handful.
The researchers studied not just the plants' DNA but also the messenger RNA being transcribed from different genes. RNA transcription is the process that transforms information in genes into action.
If the DNA sequence is the list of parts for making a tomato plant, the messenger RNA transcripts are the step-by-step instructions.
Gene-expression profiling, combined with an understanding of the plants' biology, allows researchers to understand how genes interact to create complex phenotypes, said Neelima Sinha, professor of plant biology at UC Davis and co-author on the paper.
"Genomics has fast-tracked previous gene-by-gene analyses that took us years to complete," she said.
"We could not have done a study like this ten years ago - certainly not on any kind of reasonable budget," Maloof said. "It opens up a lot of new things we can do as plant scientists."
The study is the result of a collaborative NSF project awarded to Sinha, Maloof and Jie Peng, associate professor of statistics at UC Davis. Additional authors on the paper are: Daniel Koenig, Jose Jimenez-Gomez, Seisuke Kimura, Daniel Fulop, Daniel Chitwood, Lauren Headland, Ravi Kumar, Michael Covington, Upendra Kumar Devisetty, An Tat, Mallorie Taylor-Teeples, Siobhan Brady, all at UC Davis; Takayuki Tohge, Alisdair Fernie, Anthony Bolger and Bjorn Usadel, all at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Golm, Germany; Korbinian Schneeberger, Stephan Ossowski, Christa Lanz and Detlef Weigel, all at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, Tubingen, Germany; and Guangyan Xiong and Markus Pauly, both at UC Berkeley.

By Deb Skidmore, Fort Riley Public AffairsNovember 27, 2009
Fort Riley, Kan. - As the aroma of baked turkey floated across Cantigny Dining Facility, laughter and conversation could be heard in every corner of the room. Soldiers, their families and community members gathered for a day of celebration and fellowship on this Thanksgiving Day at Fort Riley.
Joining the military for a traditional Thanksgiving meal were First District Kansas Congressman Jerry Moran, his wife and daughters, and Clay Center Mayor Sharon Brown.
"My Family and I are honored to share a Thanksgiving meal with Fort Riley Soldiers, many of whom are away from their own Families," Moran said. "Our country has much to be thankful for."
Moran and Brown greeted Servicemembers and their Families and dined with Maj. Gen. Vincent Brooks, commanding general of the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, and his wife, Carol.
"It is important to us, all the time, to work relationships with the community,'' Brooks said. "Our door is open (at Fort Riley).''
"We have such supportive communities," the general added.
Brooks said events such as the Thanksgiving dinner let Fort Riley's community neighbors experience life with the military.
"They get to witness first-hand how we observe holidays for our Soldiers,'' he said. "This is a big deal for us."
According to Sgt. Maj. Juan Abreu, food service sergeant major, the Big Red One and Fort Riley wanted to celebrate the season and show appreciation to all 1st Infantry Division Soldiers and Family members.
Additionally, he said, this appreciation extends to Department of the Army civilians and community leaders who make up the Greater Fort Riley community.
"It is important for community members to see the family side to the military,'' said Carol Brooks, wife of Maj. Gen. Vincent Brooks.
She added it also shows the Soldiers and Families how much they are appreciated.
Helping to prepare the spread laid before the hungry crowd was Chief Warrant Officer 4 Russell Campbell, the 1st Sustainment Brigade command food service tech.
"Thanksgiving is a special holiday that we take great pride in," Campbell said. "We strive to provide a quality meal for Soldiers and Families, who choose to share it with us. We want to ensure we leave a lasting memory, while we celebrate this great Army and American tradition."
Campbell said the food service staff do this through an array of food. He said the Cantigny Dining Facility prepared 520 pounds of turkey, 173 pounds of steamship roast, 170 pounds of prime rib, 152 pounds of ham, 60 pounds of duck and 150 pounds of shrimp. Additionally, 1,000 eggs were made into Deviled Eggs.
Candied yams, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, dressing, green bean casserole, salads and rolls rounded out the dinner. For dessert, patrons had pumpkin, apple, peach, blueberry, sweet potato, cherry, lemon meringue and chocolate cream pies to choose from. For those more tempted by the display of cakes, they could choose from banana cream, carrot, chocolate and spice.
"Our theme this year is, 'In Everything Give Thanks,'" Campbell said.
He explained the Sustainment command group and food service staff wanted to stay with a traditional dinner, but also highlight what they were thankful for.
"It is nice to allow the communities in to mingle with our Soldiers,'' said Warrant Officer 1 Docaser Richard, a command food service technician for 1st Sustainment Bde.
Richard said opening the doors for this Thanksgiving celebration shows Soldiers how much the communities support them.
Sustainment Bde. Commander, Col. Donnie Walker, reminded his Soldiers to "know that as American Families gather around their tables across the United States and around the world, they give thanks to you, the Soldiers of the great Division."
Walker also told the Soldiers to remember 'in everything give thanks' during this Thanksgiving holiday.
Clay Center Mayor Sharon Brown said attending this event meant everything to her.
"I have two grandsons in the military, and I can only hope wherever they are, the communities are reaching out to them," Brown said. "I can't expect it to work on their end if I don't support our military on this end."
Moran agreed, saying the event was a great opportunity to express gratitude for the service of the Soldiers and their Families.
"We are especially grateful for our troops and the sacrifices they make to defend our freedoms," Moran said.

The cleverly named American Space Technology for Exploring Resource Opportunities in Deep Space (ASTEROIDS) Act of 2014, which was sponsored by Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) and Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-WA), would establish and protect "property rights for commercial space exploration and utilization of asteroid resources."
The first portion of the bill directs the President to "facilitate commercial development of asteroid resources" and "promote the right of United States commercial entities to explore and utilize resources from asteroids in outer space."
The bill is careful to address the need to comply with "international obligations," most likely referring to the United Nations' Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which states that "outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."
The Asteroids Act would get around that by allowing U.S. companies to stake property claims on extracted minerals, but not the asteroids themselves. The bill clarifies that "any resources obtained in outer space from an asteroid are the property of the entity that obtained such resources, which shall be entitled to all property rights thereto."
"Asteroids are excellent potential sources of highly valuable resources and minerals," Posey said in a statement. "Our legislation will help promote private exploration and protect commercial rights as these endeavors move forward."
"We may be many years away from successfully mining an asteroid, but the research to turn this from science fiction into reality is being done today," Kilmer added. "Businesses in Washington State and elsewhere are investing in this opportunity, but in order to grow and create more jobs they need greater certainty. That's why I'm excited to introduce this bill with Representative Posey."
According to the statement from Posey's office, "Rare minerals used to manufacture a wide range of products are found in a small number of countries. This has left the United States dependent on foreign nations for these resources."
"The limited supply and high demand for these materials, alongside major advances in space technology and a deeper understanding of asteroids, has led a number of private sector investors to begin developing plans to identify and secure high-value minerals found on asteroids and transport them for use here on Earth."
"Some rare minerals that could be found within asteroids include: platinum group metals such as platinum, osmium, iridium, ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium in addition to nickel, iron and cobalt," the statement added.
There are two companies currently developing asteroid mining programs. Planetary Resources, based in Kilmer's home state of Washington, aims to "develop low-cost robotic spacecraft to explore the thousands of resource-rich asteroids within our reach," and to "develop the most efficient capabilities to deliver these resources directly to both space-based and terrestrial customers."
Deep Space Industries, another company looking to mine asteroids, believes in the "need to expand our civilization into space, to provide for our needs here at home and to increase the wealth of our planetary economy." The company wants to "locate, explore, harvest and utilize the vast numbers of asteroids in Earth's community."
The bill has been referred the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

With new Canalside management, will the concerts still feel homegrown?
The danger when economic development becomes more than just wishful thinking and turns into something tangible is that, in the rush to create economic progress that will stick, the baby gets tossed out with the bath water. So often, we are too quick to give away the products of our own community-based hard work to outsiders. Visions of corporate sponsors dance in our heads, and the tantalizing pipe dream of creating tourist destinations in our downtown area is just too much for us to deny.
On Monday, the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation board of directors voted to enter into a contract with Philadelphia-based venue management corporation Global Spectrum, a division of Comcast Spectator, to operate and manage events at Canalside. This will include the long-running and immensely popular free Thursday concert series, and the soft-ticketed Rocks the Harbor shows that combine to bring thousands of fans to the waterfront each summer.
Ever since the free Thursday series called Lafayette Square home, these events have been handled by Buffalo Place, the nonprofit group that birthed the concert series more than 25 years back. The ECHDC board voted in effect to end the relationship with Buffalo Place, which has lost money on the series the past two years.
There is a chance that Global Spectrum will decide to maintain ties with Buffalo Place, but there is an equal chance that Buffalo Place will walk away.
I'll make no attempt to offer a definitive assessment of the job that Buffalo Place has done over the past quarter century. However, if imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery, then one need only look at the many similar free (and dirt-cheap) summer concert series that have sprung up in the area – all of which owe a debt to Thursday at the Square, which got there first – for an answer.
The series has endured a consistently bleak economic reality the entire tenure of its existence. It has suffered a steady stream of criticism from folks who don't care for the programming, or who preferred the series when fewer people attended, or who resent having to pay, say, $20 for one of the Rocks the Harbor shows, as if they were somehow entitled to free shows simply by virtue of having grown used to them.
And yet, it's still here.
As we witness the arrival of the tangible effects of financial investment in the Canalside area, and pinch ourselves to make sure this blossoming of new builds is not simply a hallucination born of wishful thinking, it would behoove us to reflect on what makes Thursday at Canalside – and before that, Thursday at the Square – something that we look forward to, worry over and value. Surely, part of that value lies in the fact that this is a locally conceived, locally executed series, one that has long strived to speak to the demands of the local populace. Has it failed on occasion? Probably. But more often than not, these shows have felt and looked like Buffalo events with local workers handling everything from booking to concessions, security to live sound, and as often as possible, local musicians sharing some of the limelight offered by one of the area's highest-profile outdoor venues.
Are we willing to sacrifice all of this – or indeed, any of it – to lure more corporate sponsors downtown? Perhaps we are. Buffalo Place operated Canalside at loss for the last two years, so certainly, something needed to change.
There are some encouraging signs that Global Spectrum does not intend to move into Buffalo and rock the boat. Canalside concerts are doing well, which suggests that the formula does not need much messing with, if any.
"As of now, we are moving full steam ahead," said Donny Kutzbach of Fun Time Presents, which has handled the talent booking for the Buffalo Place (both Lafayette Square and Canalside) concerts for many years. "As far as this year goes, we are already deep into booking it." That's good news – Kutzbach and business partner Artie Kwitchoff have a proven track record in the area, and most significantly, they know Buffalo because they live and work here.
Global Spectrum has promised to hire locally. It's up to us to hold them to that promise. As economic development begins to yield physical results, we need to demand that such progress does not come at the expense of our community identity.
We've worked too hard for it, after all.

Stanley Gordon West spent 12 years writing Blind Your Ponies before self-publishing the novel a decade ago. When medium-sized publishing company Algonquin picked it up for print last year, West had already sold 40,000 copies via word-of-mouth—making the book an unusual success story in the flooded self-publishing market.
West, 78, grew up in Minnesota, but he spent 40-some years in Montana since 1964, living on a ranch near Livingston. He's authored six other novels, including Amos, which was made into a TV movie and Until They Bring the Streetcars Back, about St. Paul in the 1950s. Blind Your Ponies, however, has garnered the most praise. The story of two broken people and a small-town basketball team just won 2011's One Book Montana—a program that promotes selected titles for statewide reading—and it's received rave reviews across Montana, the Dakotas, and beyond.
In the wake of the buzz, we talk with West about his influences—from Crow Indian legends to Steinbeck—and how he keeps Montana on his mind.
- Stanley Gordon West, 78, wrote Blind Your Ponies, a novel about love, loss and a small-town Montana basketball team. The book was picked for 2011's One Book Montana, a program of Humanities Montana that selects a title each year to promote for statewide reading.
Indy: You self-published Blind Your Ponies in 2001. What was your strategy for getting it into readers' hands?
West: I actually drove around with a bunch of books in my car trunk. I realized that my job was just to get the book to people and bookstores who might read it, and they would give it to their family and friends. And people were really loving it. There's a little store on the main street of Ennis and it's got everything: souvenirs, all kinds of stuff, but it has just one row of books. I was down there for one of their summer gatherings of painters and writers and the owner of this little store came up to me and he said [he'd] sold 300 or 400 copies of it. It's been kind of like a grass fire.
Indy: The Crow Indian legend behind the title, Blind Your Ponies, is startling. (After losing their loved ones to smallpox, the Crow warriors blindfolded their horses out of grief and rode off a cliff.) How did you first hear about it?
West: I was in Billings and found this story somewhere where the tourists were; a brochure or something. It told briefly of the Crow Indians who had gone over suicide cliffs. I was haunted by it. I guess I tucked it away somewhere in my mind. When I was writing the novel, why, it just naturally came into the story. I was going to have the cover say "Blindfold Your Ponies" so that people didn't get the idea that it sounds like you're poking the eye out of a pony. But to counteract that, I told the story of the Indians in the first 10 pages so that it eliminated that misunderstanding.
Indy: What experiences planted the seed for this novel?
West: I was living in Bozeman and I was single. Somebody told me, "Well, if you want to meet a really nice gal you oughta take the country western dancing class up at [Montana State University]." So I went up there and I met a gal. The first time I was going to take her out she told me where she lived, and it was Willow Creek, Mont., about 40 miles west of Bozeman. She had a boy who played on the basketball team there and so I started going to basketball games with her. The team hadn't won a game in five years and when they lost, you know, it would be like 95–12 or 87–15. Yet these kids—and there was only about six of them to make up the team—played like it was life or death. That's how I got to Willow Creek and where the story came from.
Indy: I love how the basketball story parallels the lives of the main characters, Sam and Diana.
West: It's really a love story and not a sports story. What does Sam do when he comes home to a dark empty house after he's seen his wife's face splattered on the wall of a Burger King? He's tempted to, like the Indians, blind his pony and jump. Sam and Diana are both struggling...And, of course, they're not going to jump off a cliff, but they're gonna give up on love. It's the ragtag, bowlegged basketball team that shows them to love again.
Indy: What inspired you to start writing?
West: East of Eden by Steinbeck was a book that in a way got me started. I wasn't a real reader at that time, back in my 30s. I went to the film East of Eden, with James Dean. When I came out of that movie I remember thinking, "Someday I'm going to write a novel and the main character's name is going to be Cal." I forgot about it until just about five years ago, and some little electrical charge in the file of my brain brought it to mind. I had just written a novel with a main character named Cal. Boy. It was like a lightning bolt after 30 or 40 years—not only inspiring, but scary.
Indy: Did you start writing in Livingston?
West: Yes. Livingston at that time was a small Hollywood. There was a whole pile of movie stars and directors and screenwriters and novelists. Some of them are still around there. I thought, "Jeez, I oughta take a crack at this." For me to say that with my background and experience was crazy. I was getting close to 50 by then. I dusted off an old typewriter and started writing. And that's where Amos came from, which was made into a TV movie with Kirk Douglas. It was based on a place right in Livingston called the Poor Farm.
Indy: What did you think of that adaptation?
West: It kind of missed the point of the book. But I was flabbergasted that it happened. I was naïve to think I could sit down and write a novel—and it ended up being made into a movie. I was the most surprised and dumbfounded of anybody.
Indy: What's next?
West: I'm working on a novel set in Montana back in the early days before it's even a state. It's a story of a guy in Ohio who, ever since he was a little boy, dreamed about going west and building a ranch. The book follows three generations of that family.
I have to laugh at myself: I had decided to make sure the next [book] I did would keep me immersed in researching and traveling in Montana. I think about Montana every day. And when I write, I can visualize being back there.

Hi there !
I instaled in a test board Vbslider 2.0.0 latest in vbulletin 3.8.7 And after installing i noticed that All My Subforums Disapear.
I Disabled the Plugins hooks one by one and i noticed that is the "Parse Templates" plugin that is causing this problem.
Just for the kicks I instaled Vbslider Older version 1.07 / and it works OK "works just in frontpage" not afecting subforums display and in latest 2.0.0 in vb3.8.7 does not ! .
( I think is Because in vbslider 1.0.7 we dont have the hook in templates option as newest 2.00 does )
I gone further and tested some things and realized that even in 1.07 whenever i try to make the hook myself changing plugin "Slider on Forumhome" changing it from "forumhome_start" to "global_start" and there we go: EVen on version 1.07 it happens the same and subforuns do not display...
SO i think there is a problem with Global variables conflicting with Subforum Display variables somewhere ...

As you guys probably are aware, there hasn't been anything new in Ender's Game for a really long time. I'm bored along with the rest of you. This is the result of that boredom. It will probably only be funny to Game of Thrones fans, though… and SPOILERS!
I took Game of Thrones stills and put text quotes from Ender's Game onto them. They fit oddly well! See if you can guess the context of each of them.
If you can think of more to do, let me know and I'll make some more. 🙂

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon
chili oil
1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
Combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch solution in a medium-size
saucepan. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring
constantly. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce
boils and thickens.
Fry bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels; set aside and crumble.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the onion strips.
Blanch briefly, just until the strips soften - about 30 seconds.
Remove the strips from the pot of water with a pair of tongs or a fork and
set aside. Save the pot of boiling water to use for cooking the beans.
Add 1 Tbsp. salt to the pot of boiling water and then add the beans.
Cook the beans until they are crisp tender, approximately 6 minutes.
Remove from boiling water and place in a colander to drain and immediately
place in a large bowl of ice and water to stop the cooking action and cool
down. Drain the beans in the colander again and set aside.
To assemble the bundles, place a strip of the green onion on a clean surface
or paper towel and add about 10 green beans on top of the green onion strip
and using both hands bundle the green beans together and tie a regular
square knot with the green onion strip being careful not to break it.
Tie off as many bundles as needed and arrange on your serving platter or

1000th Christchurch state house repair marked
1000th Christchurch state house repair marked
Housing Minister Dr Nick Smith today marked the completion of the 1000th Housing New Zealand repair in Christchurch as part of the Government's large-scale post-earthquake repair and rebuild programme for the Canterbury region.
"The repair of the 1000th state house is a significant milestone in our programme to rebuild Christchurch's social housing following the devastating earthquakes. It gives me confidence we can meet our commitment that by the end of 2015, all 5000 damaged state houses will be fully repaired," Dr Smith says.
There are three phases to the Housing New Zealand earthquake recovery programme. The first was the urgent and emergency repairs that began in 2010 and involved 27,000 repairs that have all been completed. The second was the Repair 5000 programme to carry out the substantive rebuilds of homes, excluding the 550 damaged beyond repair. This work was able to commence at pace once Housing New Zealand settled its $320 million insurance claim in April last year. The third phase is the 700 New Build programme which will also be completed by the end of 2015.
"This 1000th repaired home at Avondale Road – a two-bedroom unit built in 1975 – required a mechanical lift by pouring concrete pads under the existing foundation and the subsequent filling of the void created under the slab with a low mobility grout," Dr Smith says.
"Repair 5000 is gaining real momentum. We completed 582 last year following the insurance settlement and an additional 418 so far this year. We are on track to complete 2340 by the end of 2014 and the remainder in 2015.
"Construction on the first builds in the 700 New Builds programme began in May last year, with three two-bedroom units completed in August. Since then, 20 houses have been completed with a further 342 either contracted or under construction currently. Given the size and scale of the project, it's entirely unsurprising that the rate of progress is picking up now. With the number of completed new builds expected to rise to 250 by the end of this year, I remain confident that we're on target to meet our target.
"It's intended that the Repair 5000 and 700 New Builds programme will together restore Housing New Zealand stock levels in Canterbury to pre-quake levels by the end of 2015, and with the added improvement of ensuring the people of Christchurch are living in houses that are better, safer and warmer.
"The Government does not underestimate the housing challenge in Christchurch. We remain focused on our wide programme of work to deliver solutions. There is no magic bullet and we need to make progress on every front. Today's milestone is a positive step forward."

Trying to raise some ... consciousness about sex education in China, an entrepreneur plans to open the country's first sex theme park in October. It's raising some local eyebrows too as development continues in the southwest city of Chongqing.
The Guardian:
Maybe it was the giant revolving model of a woman's legs and lower torso, clad only in an unflattering crimson thong, or perhaps it was the oversized replica of a set of genitals. Either way, many residents in the south-west city of Chongqing are not happy about the development of China's first sex theme park, which has been described as "vulgar" and inappropriate.
The park manager, Lu Xiaoqing, who was inspired by South Korea's popular sex theme park in Jeju, says that Love Land, due to open in October, will improve sex education and help adults enjoy a harmonious sex life. Inside, visitors will be able to view naked human sculptures, giant replicas of genitals and an exhibition about the history of sex and sexual practices in other countries.
The park will also offer sex technique workshops and advise on anti-Aids measures and using condoms properly.
"Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need to have more access to information about it," Lu told the state newspaper China Daily.
China's first sex theme park, "Love Land," greets visitors with a giant revolving woman's legs and lower torso clad in a crimson thong.

(July 9, 2010) The European Parliament and the Member States of the European Union reached a political agreement on June 30, 2010, on draft legislation that imposes limits on bankers' bonuses and links them to their banks' overall performance. The agreement, which was endorsed in plenary session by the European Parliament on July 7, 2010, provides that bankers will receive no more than 30% of the bonuses immediately. Half of each payment will be paid in shares or securities linked to the bank's long-term performance. Payment of the rest of the bonus will follow within the next three to five years. A significant aspect of the proposed legislation is that it places no upper limits on bonuses, thus allowing the banks' practice of awarding large or what have been deemed excessively large bonuses to continue.
In addition, the draft proposal restricts "golden parachutes," that is, excessive severance payments for executives. It also includes controls on the bonuses of managers of hedge funds, who until now were not subject to any restrictions on bonuses. Finally, it provides for financial penalties to be imposed on those banks that violate the above rules. (Leigh Philipps, EU Ties Bonuses to Performance, EU OBSERVER (July 1, 2010), http://euobserver.com/9/30397?print=1.)
The European Parliament approved the new limits on bank bonuses by an overwhelming majority: 625 members voted in favor, 28 against, and 37 abstained. The EU finance ministers are expected to approve the rules on July 13, 2010, and they will become effective as of January 1, 2011. EU Internal Market Commissioner, Michel Barnier, affirmed that "[t]here will be no return to business as usual. The EU is leading the way in curbing unsound remuneration practices in banks." He continued by stating, "[b]anks will neeed to change radically their practices and the mentality that has led in many cases to excessive risk-taking and contributed to the financial crisis."

Jacob J. Lew was confirmed by the United States Senate today to serve as the 76th Secretary of the Treasury. In this role, Secretary Lew will be the principal economic advisor to the President on domestic and international financial, economic, and tax issues, and will lead the Department in promoting a strong economy, fiscal sustainability and stability in the global financial system. Secretary Lew will also serve as Chairman of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and the Chairman of the Boards and Managing Trustee of the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds.
"I am pleased that the Senate took bipartisan action today to confirm Jack Lew as our nation's next Treasury Secretary," said President Obama in a statement released today. "At this critical time for our economy and our country, there is no one more qualified for this position than Jack. As my Chief of Staff, Jack was by my side as we confronted our nation's toughest challenges. His reputation as a master of fiscal issues who can work with leaders on both sides of the aisle has already helped him succeed in some of the toughest jobs in Washington. And I will continue to rely on his advice and sound judgment as we work to create good, middle-class jobs, provide more people with the skills those jobs require, and ensure every hardworking American can earn a decent living."
President Obama nominated Lew in January 2013 to succeed Timothy F. Geithner. Lew previously served as White House Chief of Staff. Prior to that role, Lew was the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a position he also held in President Clinton's Cabinet from 1998 to 2001. Before returning to OMB in 2010, Lew first joined the Obama Administration as Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources.
Before joining the State Department, Lew served as managing director and chief operating officer for two different Citigroup business units. Prior to that, he was executive vice president and chief operating officer of New York University, where he was responsible for budget, finance, and operations, and served as a professor of public administration. From 2004 through 2008, Lew served on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for National and Community Service and chaired its Management, Administration, and Governance Committee.
As OMB Director from 1998 to 2001, Lew led the Administration budget team and served as a member of the National Security Council. During his tenure at OMB, the U.S. budget operated at a surplus for three consecutive years. Earlier, Lew served as OMB's Deputy Director and was a member of the negotiating team that reached a bipartisan agreement to balance the budget. As Special Assistant to President Clinton from 1993 to 1994, Mr. Lew helped design Americorps, the national service program.
Lew began his career in Washington in 1973 as a legislative aide. From 1979 to 1987, he was a principal domestic policy advisor to House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr, when he served the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee as Assistant Director and then Executive Director. He was the Speaker's liaison to the Greenspan Commission, which negotiated a bipartisan solution to extend the solvency of Social Security in 1983, and he was responsible for domestic and economic issues, including Medicare, budget, tax, trade, appropriations, and energy issues.
Before joining the Obama Administration, Lew co-chaired the Advisory Board for City Year New York and was on the boards of the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Brookings Institution Hamilton Project, and the Tobin Project. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the National Academy of Social Insurance, and of the bar in Massachusetts and the District of Columbia.

Re: st: tabout & Stata variable labels
Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:16:25 +0000
You can use the h2() or h3() option to reference the value labels with a macro extended_fcn.
You can use the extended function `:var l <varname>' to reference the variable label and the
extended function `:val l <valuelabelname> <#>' to reference the value label for a category.
Im not a latex user, so here's an example that will open in a text editor or excel:
sysuse auto, clear
label li
**1. value and variable labels in tabulations**
tabout mpg for using "test.xls" , replace ///
h2(| "overwrite labels" | "overwrite2" | Total) ///
h1("title here for `:var l mpg' by `:var l for'")
tabout mpg for using "test.xls" , append ///
h2(| `"`:label `:val l foreign' 0' "' | `"`:label `:val l foreign' 1'"' | Total) ///
h1("title here for `:var l mpg' by `:var l for'")
**2. variable labels in summary tables**
tabout for rep78 using "test.xls", append c(mean mpg mean price mean weight) ///
bt font(bold) sum ptotal(single) h2(| `:var l mpg' | `:var l price' | `:var l weight'| )

Yet, although -tabout- uses "Female" & "Male" as well as "English speaking" & "Other language" for the vertical variables (it uses the value labels), it sticks to the variable names for the horizontal output. I've browsed the web and checked the handout but really could not find any option to make -tabout- show my variable labels. I simply would like to automatically show "Disposable income" instead of "dispincome". Does there exist a solution to my problem (without either renaming all the variables or editing my TEX-file afterwards)?

Service brokering becomes a hot market
Practically all of the global service providers participating in a Service Broker Forum event said they were seriously considering service brokers as a key part of their ongoing network transformation strategy. Commenting on poll results from the event, TMCnet's Stefanie Mosca explained: "The ability to leverage a service broker to easily and efficiently introduce service innovation was viewed as the highest priority goal when asked to consider network transformation strategic objectives."

congrats on the new goodies. remember that post you did a while back which included a picture of a huge sheet of paper w/all your card images? The sheet was the cards before they got cut, if that makes sense. I always thought that would make the most wonderful poster. Especially since I think they look so beautiful all together and hate the thought of having to pick just one.
But maybe you see enough of your own images at work...

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Hello! My name isXXXXX and I will take the time to answer your question =)
Given your age and how long they have been present, they are most likely BENIGN pigmentations of your vagina. The big thing we always worry about with any pigmented area is melanoma. You should have these areas checked out by a GYN doctor just to be sure there is nothing abnormal about these areas.... but again odds are very good they are simply normal pigmented spots. If any of these spots start to grow or change in color/size at all, those would be more worrisome signs that would need immediate attention.
If you have any other questions or need clarification please ask. If I have adequately answered your question, even though the answer might not have been the one for which you hoped, please click the GREEN ACCEPT, so that I receive credit for my work; otherwise, though you have made a deposit, I do not receive credit for my time. BONUSES and/or FEEDBACK is most appreciated! Thank you!Best Wishes,Dr. AJ

College Station, TX (SPX) Nov 14, 2011
Did climate change or humans cause the extinctions of the large-bodied Ice Age mammals (commonly called megafauna) such as the woolly rhinoceros and woolly mammoth?
Scientists have for years debated the reasons behind the Ice Age mass extinctions, which caused the loss of a third of the large mammals in Eurasia and two thirds of the large mammals in North America, and now, an inter-disciplinary team from more than 40 universities around the world led by Professor Eske Willerslev and his group from the Centre for GeoGenetics, University of Copenhagen, have tried to answer the contentious question in one of the biggest studies of its kind ever.
The study by the team, which includes two Texas A and M University professors, was published online in the journal Nature and reveals dramatically different responses of Ice Age species to climate change and human impact.
Using ancient DNA, species distribution models and the human fossil record, the findings indicate that neither climate nor humans alone can account for the Ice Age mass extinctions.
"Our findings put a final end to the single-cause theories of these extinctions," says Willserslev.
"Our data suggest care should be taken in making generalizations regarding past and present species extinctions; the relative impacts of climate change and human encroachment on species extinctions really depend on which species we're looking at."
The study reports that climate alone caused extinctions of woolly rhinoceros and musk ox in Eurasia, but a combination of climate and humans played a part in the loss of bison in Siberia and wild horse.
While the reindeer remain relatively unaffected by any of these factors, the reasons causes of the extinction of the mammoth remain unresolved.
The study also reports that climate change has been intrinsically linked with major population size changes over the past 50,000 years, supporting the view that populations of many species will decline in the future owing to climate change and habitat loss.
Finally, the authors find no clear pattern in their data distinguishing species that went extinct from species that survived.
Eline Lorenzen, professor at the University of Copenhagen and lead author of the study, said, "The fact that we couldn't pinpoint what patterns characterize extinct species - despite the large and varying amount of data analyzed - suggests that it will be challenging for experts to predict how existing mammals will respond to future global climate change. Which species will go extinct and which will survive?
"The bottom line is that we really don't know why some of these ancient species became extinct," adds Ted Goebel, researcher in the Department of Anthropology at Texas A and M and affiliated with the Center for the Study of First Americans.
"Now we can better predict what might happen to animals in the future as climate change occurs. What happens to species when their ranges are significantly diminished, and why do some animals adapt successfully while others become extinct?
"We now have a genetic roadmap to follow in our efforts to protect sensitive animal populations - especially in drastically impacted regions like the Arctic."

Extreme Melting on Greenland Ice Sheet
New York NY (SPX) Oct 26, 2011
The Greenland ice sheet can experience extreme melting even when temperatures don't hit record highs, according to a new analysis by Dr. Marco Tedesco, assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at The City College of New York. His findings suggest that glaciers could undergo a self-amplifying cycle of melting and warming that would be difficult to halt. "We ar ... read more

A top aide to President Obama said today t
"We've tried as hard as we can to pass both the DREAM Act and comprehensivehat the administration's new immigration policy for young people is only a stopgap measure, and "comprehensive immigration reform" is still needed. immigration reform -- Congress has refused," said senior adviser David Plouffe on ABC's This Week.
"We still need a permanent fix," he added.
Plouffe hit the Sunday morning talk shows two days after Obama announced an executive order that would allow work permits for young people who are the children of illegal immigrants.
Republican candidate Mitt Romney and other GOP members denounced the order as a political move designed to appeal to the growing Hispanic voting population.
Romney, however, declined to say whether he would revoke Obama's immigration order if he becomes president.
Obama "should have worked on this years ago," Romney said on CBS' Face The Nation. "If he felt seriously about this he should have taken action when he had a Democrat House and Senate, but he didn't. He saves these sort of things until four and a half months before the general election."
Plouffe said the order is the right thing to do, telling ABC that it "builds on a series of steps we've taken to try and make sure that we're focusing on tougher border security, that we are deporting criminals, people who pose a threat to our community, not people who are just trying to live the American dream."
Obama has said that if he is re-elected, he will pursue a "comprehensive" immigration bill that combines tough border enforcement with some type of path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already here.
The president also promoted the DREAM Act, which would provide a citizenship route to young people, the children of illegal immigrants, who attended college or serve in the military.
Some Republicans say these proposals amount to amnesty for those who are in violation of the law.
As we reported Friday, Obama defended the policy that will halt deportations of up to 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the country as children:
"It's the right thing to do, period," Obama said. "We are a better nation than one that expels innocent young kids."
Without promising them amnesty or legal status, the policy eases the administration's aggressive deportation actions and allows young immigrants to apply for work permits. They must have arrived before they turned 16 and be under 30, with at least five continuous years in the USA. They either must be in school, be high school graduates, have a GED or have served in the military, with no felony or significant misdemeanor convictions.
"This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix," the president said. "This is a temporary, stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely."
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David
