WEST WINDSOR — When the ski resort that once attracted thousands of people to a sleepy New England town with 200 acres of terrain and 57 trails closed in 2010, it hit the economy harder than expected.
Condo prices on Ascutney Mountain Resort in West Windsor dropped significantly and local realtors and business owners have been affected directly from the tourist decline.
But, a judge's recent ruling could change all this. Last week, William D. Cohen issued a judgment order that MFW Associates, LLC had a priority interest in the resort superior to Snowdance Realty Company, ending a stalemate between the two parties. Sale of the resort could take place within 30 days.
Officials are hoping a sale signals the beginning of the end of the town's economic woes.
"It's another step forward," Select Board Chairman Glenn Seward said. "With legal proceedings nearly complete now the resort stands a good chance of getting back up on its feet with a new owner."
In 30 days, after a redemption period, there will be an auction where interested parties will be permitted to bid on the property, according to a lawyer representing MFW Associates, LLC.
"We're at the end is what I would say," the lawyer said. The lawyer declined to comment on the issue further and declined to give his name. Attempts to contact the Plausteiners at their home were not successful.
The "end" has been a long road coming.
The Plausteiners bought Ascutney Mountain Resort out of bankruptcy in the early 1990s for $1.1 million. But it didn't take long before they too started having money troubles.
In 1998, the Plausteiners — as Snowdance LLC — were the majority owners of the ski resort and investment banker Dan Purjes and Myles Wittenstein were the minority owners. In 2005, Snowdance took out a $4.5 million promissory note from PRIF Ascutney LLC, a New Jersey-based investment company. Soon after, in 2008 when Snowdance began defaulting on its loan, Purjes and Wittenstein formed a new company, MFW Associates, and purchased the $4.5 million promissory note for $850,000.
MFW started foreclosure proceedings shortly after, citing $1.8 million in debt.
Snowdance sold its shares in the resort to MFW for $1.1 million in July 2010, which then tried, unsuccessfully, to liquidate the area that summer. By the fall, it was clear the lifts weren't going to run that year.
The companies have gone to court countless times in the past five years.
The resorts' high-speed chairlift was sold to Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire in December 2012 while the rest of the area sat idle for the third winter in a row.
"I'm not surprised, honestly, that it closed," Seward said. "I am surprised that it's taken so long to wade through all the legal issues associated with the closing."
The town has been waiting patiently, for something, to move forward with the resort.
"People are out of jobs," said John Bossen, president of the Ascutney Homeowner's Association. "It's something we obviously didn't expect.
"Who wants to be at a ski resort when there is no skiing?"
Condo prices dropped 33 percent immediately after the resort closed, according to realtor Seth Warren.
Condos that were once valued at $150,000 when lifts were turning are now selling for $100,000.
That's a significant hit," Warren said. The mountain's closing also changed the demographic of people living on the mountain.
The mountain was once full of second homeowners, but now houses have become affordable for locals shopping for year-round homes.
"Essentially it's had a devastating effect on the town," Seward said.
Property values were in even more jeopardy when Central Vermont Public Service nearly shut off power at the resort due to an overdue and unpaid balance. The shut-off would have stopped water and sewer service to more than 200 year-round homeowners at the resort.
To avoid a similar situation, the town decided to purchase the sewer line. Voters have approved a $500,000 loan for the possible purchase and earlier this year, the District 2 Environmental Planning Commission recently agreed to transfer the ACT 250 permit to West Windsor, further paving the way for the town to finalize the sale.
Warren expects condo prices to rise just as quickly as they fell if the resort were to reopen.
"That would be the best news I've heard all year," Warren said.
The status of the resort should be clearer by Labor Day; meanwhile, Seward is remaining optimistic.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that things will start to jell as far as a new owner-operator," Seward said.

Reference: Automobile Accident---Bow St. @ Market St. Accident---September 24th, 2005
Date of Release: January 17th, 2006
On September 24th, 2005 at approximately 1:08pm, a motor vehicle accident occurred on Bow St. at the intersection of Market St. As a result of the accident, Rachelle Selkovits, DOB 03/06/40 of Cambridge, Massachusetts sustained a serious head injury and was transported to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital. A press release was done that day and is attached.
Today we have concluded the investigation with the counsel of the Rockingham County Attorney's Office and make the following findings:
The driver of the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up truck was Evan Thompson of York, ME and was making a left hand turn from Market St. on to Bow St.
The pedestrian, Rachelle Selkovits of Cambridge, MA was walking in a northerly direction crossing Bow St. at Market St. It is unclear if Selkovits was in the crosswalk at that intersection at the time of the accident.
The roadway was in good condition clear of dirt and debris.
Mechanical failure was not found on the vehicle involved or contributed to the accident.
There was no alcohol or illegal drug involvement that contributed to the accident.
5 people were identified as witnesses to the collision.
After careful analysis of all data collected as evidence in this case and after several months of investigation, the Portsmouth Police Department's Accident Investigation Team has concluded that there will be no charges filed in this case.

|Our church was established in 1952 and began moving back to our historical Baptist roots in 1994. This eventually caused a very difficult split in the church in 2000 and we lost a number of members who could not accept the absolute sovereignty of God. This was most hurtful to many in the congregation who remained, as they lost friends they had worshipped with all or most of their lives. However, those who remained realized that standing for the truth was more important that pleasing people. While we miss those who left, we trust that God will raise up a new generation of Christians who seek the truth and understand the absolute sovereignty of God and the absolute responsibility of man.

At a Christmas party in 2007, Mark Zuckerberg met fellow Harvard grad Sheryl Sandberg, then vice president of online sales at Google. Already a legend from D.C. to Silicon Valley, Sandberg had served as chief of staff to Larry Summers during his term as Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary and led Google's online advertising strategy. Zuckerberg charmed her away from Google, and since then, Sandberg has accomplished what some thought impossible: making Facebook's advertising business profitable, while keeping it discreet and social. Sandberg consistently appears on the "most powerful women in business" lists and serves on the boards of Disney, Starbucks, the Brookings Institution, and Women for Women International.

Following the release of a YouTube video that showed Manal al-Sharif driving through the streets of the Saudi Arabian city Khobar, she was imprisoned for nine days last year and exposed to public condemnation. The move incited a larger campaign to give women the right to drive in Saudi Arabia, which has been unsuccessful so far. In May, she was awarded the Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent at the Oslo Freedom Forum, where she explained that she'd been marginalized from her job as an Internet security consultant because of her activism.

Arguably this year's hottest Internet company, Pinterest is a digital scrapbook with a social bent. Founder Ben Silbermann was a product designer at Google when he quit, hoping to indulge his creative side. After months of floundering, he and a college friend came up with Pinterest and founded it in March 2010. The site's success was anything but immediate—nine months after launch it had fewer than 10,000 users. Then, bolstered by word-of-mouth and tech-industry coverage, Pinterest attracted 8 million people in April.

At the tender age of 22, Brian Stelter parlayed his founding of the website TVNewser into his current high-profile position as a New York Times media reporter, which has turned him into something of a gatekeeper for the chattering classes. In May 2011, Stelter was among the first and most influential Twitter users to tweet the news of Osama bin Laden's death, right around the time that he was starring in the documentary Page One: Inside the New York Times. Stelter hasn't always been a smooth Web operator: in late 2011, he landed in Gawker when he tweeted private messages to sources.

Yancey Strickler didn't start out as a techie. For almost 10 years, he made his living as a freelance music journalist, eventually becoming editor of eMusic.com. It took a failed jazz concert to spark the idea for which he would become famous. When a friend, Perry Chen, couldn't get a $20,000 event off the ground, he approached Strickler to help brainstorm a way to fund small projects digitally. In 2009, along with tech designer Charles Adler, they launched Kickstarter, which crowdsources funding for cool projects. Though the investments may be small, the haul can be big: Diaspora, a proto social network, raised $200,000 on the site.

A Bear, by any other name.
Let's not underestimate the importance of a name when it comes to a band. No, it's not more important than the musical output, but as far as first impressions go, many times it's all you get. I have more time than most, time enough to scour the interweb countless hours a week finding new exciting music to chomp into. With so many music outlets, I come across particular bands in multiple locations and eventually give in and listen if I haven't already. One of those bands is Brooklyn's Grizzly Bear. Their cocktail is 1 part dream 1 part heaven with a splash of avante garde. My loosely related point is this: there are too many band names that are animals. Recently, semi-violent predatory animals are popular, but not exclusive.
Wolfmother, Wolf Eyes, Peter and the Wolf, Wolf Parade, Guitar Wolf, Minus the Bear, Tiger Army, Le Tigre, The Mountain Goats, Frog Eyes, Department of Eagles, Teddybears, Horse Feathers, Band of Horses, Horse the Band, Red Sparowes, The Robins, The Wrens, Hot Snakes, These Arms are Snakes, The Snake The Cross The Crown, Deefhoof, Birdmonster, Animal Collective, Tortoise, Modest Mouse, Mouse on Mars..............
It's all just a blur now to me. How many wolf bands do we need, honestly? Anyway, I only bring all this up because this is the biggest reason I waited too long to listen to Grizzly Bear and I don't want you to make the same mistake.

Colour vision allows animals as diverse as insects, birds or mammals to perceive and respond to signals and cues from their colourful environment when they forage or look for a mate. The colour vision of primates is based on three colours: red, green and blue, that is, it is trichromatic as opposed to dichromatic or based on two colours as in most other mammals. Trichromatic colour vision in primates is likely to have evolved because colour signals are fundamental in their social interactions. For example, in macaques as in other nonhuman primates, sexual skin reddening is positively associated with peaks in the female oestrous cycle. Therefore, changes in sexual skin coloration could act as visual signals for fertile periods. Indeed, earlier studies on macaques have shown that intensive red skin coloration attracts more visual attention than paler skin reddening. Potentially, however, it is possible that such increased attention is due not to the red colour itself but to the enhanced contrast between the intensely reddened hairless skin and the surrounding fur. Such contrast also increases with the increase in redness.
In the present issue, Lena Pflüger, Christian Valuch, Daria Gutleb, Ulrich Ansorge and Bernard Wallner (University of Vienna, Austria) aim to elucidate the role of colour as opposed to colour contrast in the visual and behavioural choice of females by males in Japanese macaques. In addition, the authors address the possibility that the perception of a signal, be it colour or colour contrast, is, at least in part, dependent on the hormone status of the perceiving individual. The link between sexual behaviour and sex steroids, testosterone in particular, is well known. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that higher levels of testosterone are associated with longer viewing time of threatening stimuli in macaques and humans, as well as with increased interest in sexual stimuli in humans. Cortisol is also hypothesized to influence sexual behaviour because it regulates behavioural alertness and responses to stress as well as energy consumption and retention. By contrast, the effect of cortisol on attention towards sexual stimuli such as the coloration of sexual skin has not been investigated in nonhuman primates. This is surprising because peaks in cortisol as well as testosterone have been observed during the mating season.
Specifically, Pflüger and coauthors address the following questions. Are sexually active males attracted to intensely red coloured female faces (Fig. 1) Does such a preference result from increased colour contrast between the hairless skin and the surrounding area irrespective of the red colour? Does the endocrine status of the sexually active males affect their attention to female sexual skin coloration? The authors conducted two experiments on a semifree-ranging troop of 126 Japanese macaques in Affenberg Landskron, southern Austria. In the first experiment, 23 adult males were confronted with two images of female faces: one with an intensely red face and another with a paler red face. In the second experiment, 21 of the 23 males from the first experiment were confronted again with the same two images of female faces but this time these images were transformed to their chromatic opposites: the intensely red face was now intensely blue and the paler red face was paler blue. This allowed the authors to test whether it was the colour contrast rather than the colour itself that underlies the attentional preference.

With access restricted to USC coach Lane Kiffin's assistants, it was not until Wednesday that his defensive coaches faced a full media contingent. And those coaches fell over themselves taking blame for the Oregon debacle that continued to haunt the Trojans this week.
Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin stepped up first and offered himself as a sacrificial lamb after Oregon compiled 62 points, 730 yards and nine touchdowns.
"It starts with me," he said. "I take accountability. It really does. You can't put it on the players. It starts with the coordinator. No doubt about it. You can't start pointing fingers.
"We've got good position coaches here too. But when it's all said and done, the coordinator controls it. You've got to step up."
There is widespread speculation whether Monte Kiffin will return next season after poor performances against Arizona and Oregon, but his son, Lane Kiffin, has not addressed the subject.
But the mea culpa's did not stop with Kiffin. Defensive line coach Ed Orgeron also took responsibility.
"I didn't do a good job coaching my guys," Orgeron said. "They did not play well."
Orgeron added, however, Oregon's offensive line is the "best they've ever had." He said that was not an excuse, though, because "I take accountability for not playing better against them."
Safety and team captain T.J. McDonald said all the angst provided extra motivation for the defense this week.
"We've got a chip on our shoulder right now," McDonald said. "We want to prove that we're the defense that we know we are. We just want to be able to rebound from last week."
Lane Kiffin said he noticed a new attitude in practices.
"I can see our defense's excitement to get back on the field," he said. "We haven't played well for 5 1/2 quarters. We've had 5 1/2 poor quarters."
New plays
Oregon stung the Trojans with some new plays USC did not anticipate last weekend.
"There were three different plays they didn't show all year long," Lane Kiffin said. "That definitely gave us some issues. Next time we'll be ready to go."
Lee's Heisman campaign
USC released a video Wednesday promoting wide receiver Marqise Lee as a Heisman Trophy candidate. The school previously promoted quarterback Matt Barkley as a Heisman candidate.
"Marqise Lee is the best college receiver since I scouted Randy Moss," Stanford coach David Shaw said this week.
"That's a pretty big statement," Lane Kiffin said. "That should be more powerful than a video. It would be hard to argue he's not playing as well as anybody in America."
Kiffin acknowledged USC's three losses harmed Lee's chances for postseason awards.
"The more games you win, the more awards come," Kiffin said.
Notre Dame kickoff
The USC-Notre Dame game Nov.24 at the Coliseum will start at 5 p.m. and be televised on Channel 7.

Duana Names: Olivia Alternate
Astrid Stawiarz/ Getty
Hi Duana, I am obsessed with your column and even more now since I am expecting a little girl in December-due date is 12/31! So my problem is I LOVE the name Olivia...and so does my fiance. Like he would name her that and be done with the name game. I love it, too, but there is something holding me back from committing 100% and I think it's because I have a great name (well I think so). Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia Wilde's stripe day
Obsessed with both of Olivia Wilde's striped outfits yesterday. The green dress with the yellow bandeau underneath is obviously the more eyecatching one and it's amazing. But I might love the stripe floral situation even more. Full Article
Smutty Fitness: Pre-pregnancy weight loss
Hayley, I am 33 and I gained a lot of weight in the last years. I decided to address this issue at the beginning of the year. I cut alcohol and started to eat well. I eat between 1300 to 1500 calories of healthy food per day. And I train at the gym: 5-6 times a week, generally a circuit with 45 minutes of cardio (elliptical, running or biking) and lifting weight. Full Article
Smutty Fitness: Staying focused and motivated
I receive a lot of emails from readers expressing their battles with staying motivated in their workouts and asking me how they can spice things up and prevent themselves from becoming bored with their exercise routine. I just went through a period in December where I had lost complete focus, which is so unlike me as I have had a weekly exercise plan for the past 15 years. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia Wilde's braless black suit
If I was two cup sizes smaller, I'd be all over this look all the time. All the f-cking time. Here is the advantage to small breasts. Here is why I want them. Because a well-tailored suit without a bra is timeless and badass. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia Wilde's mullet skirt
It's officially classified as an "asymmetrical" skirt. Whatever. It's a mullet skirt. You down? I'm more down with this than the long sheer skirts people have been wearing. You know, when a layer of transparent sheer goes longer than a shorter skirt underneath? Girls have been wearing them all over the city, and sometimes with pleats. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia matches
Jason Merritt/ Getty
The dress is OK. I don't love it, I don't hate it. What do you think of the matchy-matchy-ness of it though? With the shoes and the clutch picking up the green on her body? Too much or exactly right? Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia's great black & white dress
Wylde /Splash News
So into this dress. It's the material. Cotton and clingy, like your favourite t-shirt which is how the dress starts up top before turning into a wrap at the waist, which is how I prefer a wrap dress, instead of across the chest like DVF. Hate the wrap across the chest. It's like a forced middle-aged uniform and those flimsy belt ties are never flattering. Full Article
Smutty Fitness: Stand Up Paddle-boarding
Stand up paddle-boarding (or SUP'ing as the serious paddlers call it) is probably one of my favourite activities to do in the summer and I am not alone. Celebs like Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Eva Longoria, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Pattinson, and Olivia Wilde (attached) have all been paddling on a sunny day. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia in teal and booties
Wenn, Johns PKI/ Splash
This is a good colour. And the shoulders on this dress make it much more interesting. I also like how she wore it with booties to make it less girly. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Olivia's black Gucci dress
It's a really good black dress. There's nothing wrong with it at all. And she's wearing it well. So...why am I not more excited? Would a bolder lip have helped? Full Article

* C$ at C$1.0316 to US$, or 96.94 U.S. cents * Currency comes off one-month high * Bond prices lower By Cameron French TORONTO, July 24 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell for the first time in a week on Wednesday, pulling back from a one-month high on the back of a stronger U.S. dollar, weaker commodity prices and falling Canadian stocks. Both gold and oil were down sharply, hurting the value of Canadian exports of both commodities, although that price move was largely a function of the rallying U.S. greenback. "It's a broad-based U.S. dollar strength story, and part of that is weaker oil and that definitely doesn't help the Canadian dollar," said Benjamin Reitzes, senior economist and foreign exchange strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Also pressuring the currency was a 0.7 percent drop in Canada's main stock index, as investors took a cautious view of riskier assets. The Canadian dollar finished its North American session at C$1.0316 to the U.S. dollar, or 96.94 U.S. cents, down from Tuesday's North American session close of C$1.0285, or 97.23 U.S. cents. The currency has been rising fairly steadily over the past two weeks and hit a one-month high of 97.45 U.S. cents early in the session, helped by strong sentiment from Tuesday's stellar Canadian retail sales data for May. On Wednesday, strong U.S. data had an impact, with the greenback boosted by a jump in U.S. new-home sales to a five-year high in June. BOND PRICES LOWER Longer-term Canadian government bond prices extended their recent slide, with the yield on the 30-year bond briefly rising above 3 percent on Wednesday for the first time since October 2011. The yield had hit a record low of 2.194 percent last July. The yields on 10- and 30-year Canadian government bonds sank to historic lows last year as investors, fearing the fallout of Europe's debt crisis, bought defensive assets. But bond yields have climbed in recent months as encouraging economic data increased expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin winding down its bond-buying plan this year. The Bank of Canada is seen hiking interest rates next year. The two-year bond fell 6 Canadian cents to yield 1.148 percent, and the benchmark 10-year bond shed 56 Canadian cents to yield 2.476 percent.

absolutely awful. at first they seemed friendly kind nice. they were rude un proffesional and i thought b of a was bad.
i wanted a bank that just didnt count you as a number charging fees that didnt exist holding deposit checks and running up charges for no reason. thats why i went to union bank. i explained to them my mother had passed away and someone stole her atm card and tried to deposit fraudulent checks etc. i also said i cleared that up with b of a. i was on her account because as she got older she started losing it and i wanted to regulate her money. anway like i said after she passed her information was stolen. so going to union bank i explained the situation and said there shouldnt be a problem it took me months to try and resolve this issue with the very rude hard headed moronic bank of america. He understood and went ahead and opened my account after i was forthright and upfront honest with them. well a few weeks ago i go to use my atm card and it was declined. mind you i had just used it earlier that day. this was on a friday night. so i couldnt do anything until the following monday. i called the bank and extremely rudley they explain they closed my account. I asked why. They gave me a number that was no good to me. everytime i called it it went to an internal answering maching. i call the bank back. i asked why would you give me an internal telephone number that only works if you call from the bank. unproffesional. they get back and tell me thats the correct number. once again no it wasnt. i call back and explain to the moron on the phone that number only works if you call internally from a branch. so they put me through. i get onto the phone with another extremely rude person who wont tell me the problem but i will get a letter explaining. so in the mean time i couldnt get money all weekend no atm card and no answers. Finally a week later i get a letter explaining for me to call chex systems. exactly what i thought might happen which again i explained upfront before opening my account. absolutely nothing but rudeness holding my money for ransom.
i just got my checkThank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

Unsatsifactory Bank - Stay Away
Union Bank is awful. Would give 0 stars if possible. They recently started re-ordering your debits and make largest ones hit first (didn't other banks get in trouble for this years ago). This is just a fyi as i don't make charges that won't clear but i do not feel that manipulation on your transactions is on the up and up. Union bank has just recently started holding direct deposits in pending status for 2 days after they have received direct deposit.
My direct deposits have been done for over 2 years and this "holding" has only consistantly started occurring within the last 3 months. Worst teller customer experience: when i tried to make a $80. 00 cash withdrawal to keep $40. 00 and put $40. 00 into another account that i am not on. Simple right? $80. 00 out of my account. Keep $40 cash and hand deposit slip and $40 for another account deposit on an account i am not on. (not possible for me to do a transfer to the other account because i am not on the other account).
The teller rudely help up my $80 withdrawal slip in front of my face and ripped it up. Told me i didn't do it correctly and made me fill out 2 withdrawal slips from my account each for $40. Never in 4 years have i been told i filled out my withdrawal slip incorrectly when doing this very same transaction. To make me fill out 2 withdrawal slips like this was beyond reasonable for a simple transaction.
Day i decided enough! Had a union bank rep do a pending debit "release" directly with the merchant on the telephone who was trying to credit my account back for a charge that had not gone through yet (in pending status) and union bank put the "released" charge through the account anyway and debited the account and paid the merchant. Now union bank is claiming that it is the merchant's fault and they committed fraud. Huh?
Recap: union bank rep does a release on the pending debit directly with the merchant on the phone and union bank pays the mrechant and it's the merchant's fault!!! They are now telling me thThank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

My banking experiance latley is terrible.
I have done busiess with Union Bank since 2002 as business customer. Since 2012 change in the account interest from 7.5% to 10.5% for no reason. bank charges to checking account claiming to cover overdraft that was not true. Exceeding charges that they would not give back the credit to the account. This is just to be brief.Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

first off, my name is Anna and im 22. i am a navy wife and have a 7 month old daughter.
before i was married and had a baby i had a great group of friends that i spent a lot of time with. i loved them and would do anything for them. then once i got married it seemed like all my friends disappeared! i tried contacting them but it almost seemed like they didnt want anything to do with me and we have nothing in common. i only have a couple friends now (one is single and the other is married with two kids and one on the way) that i only see every few months. so basically now i only have my family as friends and of course my husband who is my best friend. but being that he's in the navy, i dont see him much. i tried making new "mommy" friends but there's always drama and competition. and i dont know how to drive so its hard to go to mommy groups. i want to learn in the next few months but its been hard with my husbands schedule. sometimes, even though i am with my daughter 24/7 i feel SO alone.
has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Anna!
Unfortunately what you are going through is not really uncommon. I found it challenging when I had my first at 20 to keep in touch with single, childless friends.
Do you and your dh have any couples that you are friends with? Can you attend LLL or something similar? A church?
Something I found was that it took a long time before my new mom friends became more than aquaintances, but it did happen.

Hi Anna --
I certainly can relate to your situation. Before DS was born, I worked full-time and spent the day surrounded not only by work friends, but "in real life" friends that I could connect to over email or on the phone. A lot of my friendships seemed to cool off after DS was born. Much of the time it does feel like we're just in different worlds. Other times, when I get 30 minutes to myself, I'm pretty tired and the last thing I feel like doing is hopping on the phone or computer to talk (I just want to veg until it's time to return to the constant motion world of a toddler, you know?)
I tried attending a few different mothers groups, but I found them kind of intimidating. Eventually, the loneliness eased up. This might have been the result of me adjusting to the situation, or DS getting older and more interactive/talkative. I find it a lot easier now that my son can joke around and babble, and he's so ENERGETIC that just trying to keep up with him and play and care for him makes the day fly by. We volunteer on Mondays and go to the library for toddler time on Tuesdays and Fridays, and -- honestly -- some weeks it feels like a LOT of social time, just from those three events. We've met two nice mom-child pairs from the library and occasionally have playdates with them, and I really prefer our semi-structured weeks. It's a great balance for us. I think you will find that as your daughter gets older, you will be chasing after her and going outside to explore the world with her. You'll probably meet a few new friends along the way and strike up friendships with them, too. And I've found that my old friends are still friends, just in a different capacity. Maybe the same thing will happen for you, too :)
i will definitely try to look up groups and such. the other tricky thing is my dh is getting out of the navy in less than a year and we will most likely be moving so that he's closer to jobs. any of the friends id make here id most likely be leaving pretty soon. that kinda sucks :( but i am looking forward to my dd getting older so that we can have conversations. my niece is 22 months and i absolutely adore her...she's so interactive. when i did have more friends they were between the ages of 20 and 40 so some of them did have kids but their kids were older and they didnt really "approve" of me having a baby so young..guess they werent as great of friends as i thought. but i am looking forward to meeting new people eventually.
I feel you, sort of- I never really had friends that good, but I could really use some now and I am having a lot of trouble making/finding them. We are an army family, so I probably see more of my hubby than you do but still. First thing I would tell you: learn to drive! I had to take the bus for a while, and a) it was really obnoxious out here, with a baby, even when babywearing and b) it really added up, at $2 each way. I don't suppose you're st the navy station near me- we are at fort lewis. LLL was a great way for me at my last station but out here the time of the meeting is odd and I haven't made it yet. also, you can try meetup.com; I have seen several AP groups on there
i definitely get where you are coming from. i'm also a navy wife and have been in a similar situation. pp's are right though that it is getting better as my dd gets older. also i've found it's easier to meet other moms now that dd is old enough (14months) to play with other kids. there isn't as much awkwardness as just walking up to another mom on the playground, now dd runs up and plays with a kid and then i strike up conversation with the mom. i've definitely felt distance between my friends and i since having a kid. my very close friends from before are really just friendly aquaintences now, just because we don't have anything in common anymore. but i'm starting to meet some new friends finally, though it has taken 14 months. something that helps me, since i am naturally very shy, is for my husband to invite his friends from work over with their significant others. that way our house has new people coming into it for me to meet without as much pressure and having to leave the house. since we started having cookouts i have made several friends who are wives or girlfriends of the guys he works with. also, i know for the base where we live but i would assume for other bases, there is a facebook group for spouses on base. it's a way to find out events going on, and meet people. i remember how lonely i was the first 9 months or so, but it really does get better and you really will find new friends. hang in there mama.
betsy: wife to tony, mama to haven (7/6/10), arlo (m/c 1/21/12), and expecting valencia in late december.

Thanks ladies. ive decided to work harder at spending more time with the friends that i already have. one of my friends came over a few days ago and we decided that we would get together once a week. im also trying to make plans with another one of my friends. ive decided that i dont really want to make new friends now (because of our situation) but when we end up where my dh gets his job then i'll start looking. i really need to cherish the friends that i already have because i dont know how much longer i will be able to see them. i do feel much better now. thank you for all your support :)

do not let your hands grow weak.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst.
—Zephaniah 3:16-17
Could there be any better time than Advent to focus on and remember that God dwells in our midst? I find it particularly necessary to be aware of God's nearness when I am zooming through December, busy about too many things.
It is easy to get swallowed up by my anxiety or discouragement, knowing that I am unable to do all the planning and preparations I would like to do before Christmas comes.
I draw inspiration and encouragement when I recognize that the one whose birth I am preparing to celebrate dwells in the midst of all my activities and relationships. I have only to open my inner eyes and recognize the presence of God in the love, joy, care, concern, honesty and peace of those around me.
I also need to be mindful of how God is present in those who have very little joy because of their physical or mental condition, financial deprivation or the violence of their political situation. It is here that I meet the suffering Christ.
Busyness dulls my awareness of the presence of Emmanuel. Excessive attention to material things lessens my bond with God. God is with me, if only I slow down long enough to look and see.
let me not be discouraged.
You are in my life.
I will slow down so I can find you there.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/8/2012 (1820 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Len and Karen Vopnfjord wrote an Islendingadagurinn theme song 40 years ago, but it didn't really become the "official" theme song until the lyrics were printed on a shirt.
"To be honest, I don't know when they made it the official song. It's on a shirt, though, so it must be true," Len says with a laugh.
"There was no official theme song for the Icelandic Festival 40 years ago, so we just wrote one," his wife, and musical partner, Karen says during a phone interview earlier this week during a pit stop on their way to Gimli for Islendingadagurinn.
The Vopnfjords are scheduled to perform Sunday at the Alternative Folk Festival in Gimli Park, an event they started 40 years ago and at which they served as programmers, performers and MCs for more than a decade.
There wasn't a lot of money for performers back then, but most musicians were happy to play, sell some merch and attend a free all-night party on a Lake Winnipeg island, the couple recalls.
"It got to be almost a family thing," Karen says.
One of the members of the extended family was Tom Jackson. The first time the Vopnfjords tried to get the singer to perform at the festival, they couldn't get in touch with him no matter how many times they phoned the Royal Albert Hotel, where the young musician was known to hang out.
Instead of simply giving up, they printed his name on posters and announced it on radio ads in the hope he would see or hear his name and attend.
He did.
"We were flying by the seat of our pants. We really wanted him to come out, so we went ahead and put his name on the list, but he showed up at the right time. He was young and very, very happy to be there," Karen says.
"We didn't know there were any real ground rules for putting on a festival," her husband added.
The booking has been streamlined and everyone on the event poster has been notified. The 40th annual Alternative Folk Festival at the Gimli Park Mainstage features the Vopnfjords, the Reverend Rambler, Sweet Alibi, the Vopnfjords' son, Lindy, Del Barber and Dry Bones. The entertainment begins at 6:30 p.m. and runs until midnight.
With the founders kicking off the event, one of Manitoba's newest acts will end the night.
Not that Sunday's headliners, Dry Bones, are newbies. The trio is a supergroup of sorts, featuring the talents of Leonard Podolak, Nathan Rogers and JD Edwards who got together last year for some jamming sessions and have since wowed crowds from Australia to Birds Hill Park.
The trio first got together about 18 months ago and landed a few festival gigs in Western Canada last summer.
"We had no booking agent, no manager, no record, no repertoire, no anything -- just our reputations and some good will. That's how folk music works," Podolak says.
Things shifted into high gear this past spring when an Australian festival Rogers was booked to play asked him to bring a band. The trio applied to more festivals and landed some mid-week shows and house concerts to turn their trek Down Under into a full-fledged five-week tour.
"What I think has been so great about Dry Bones is trying to break down the wall between ourselves and the audiences. It's not just the songs; it's Nathan's funny antics and the passionate storytelling of JD. The whole evening is the show," says Podolak, 37, who has been a regular on the local scene for the past two decades, in groups such as the Duhks and Scruj MacDuhk.
Local audiences finally got their chance to see the Dry Bones when they played this year's Winnipeg Folk Festival. And those barrier-breaking performances? Perhaps you caught the group's Sunday evening tweener set when Rogers jumped off the stage onto a bass rig on the ground and ripped his shirt off while singing, showing off a bit of a wild side people might not typically associate with the son of folk icon Stan Rogers.
As a trio, each member has talents he brings to the musical equation, but the roots/folk-rock outfit -- featuring Rogers and Edwards on guitar, Podolak on banjo and Gilles Fournier joining in occasionally on bass -- is trying to switch things up by giving each member a chance to take the lead to see how it sounds best.
"Nathan wrote a brilliant song and said, 'JD I wrote this song, I love this song and I love singing this song, but I want to hear you sing it and I want you to give me a song that you wrote that I can sing,'" Podolak, says about The Turning, available on a 10-track album the band recorded quickly as something to sell at live shows.
"It's a kick-ass group and the record is funny. Too bad we didn't do it after playing 50 shows together," he says.

Know the difference between Klonopin brand and Generic before choosing to buy the drug online
Klonopin brand and Klonopin generic (Clonazepam) are two different formulations that this pill comes in. Klonopin was first developed by Roche Company with Clonazepam as the active ingredient. After the expiration of the patent, many other companies have also started manufacturing Clonazepam with their own formulations which are referred to as Klonopin generic.
However, brand and generic Clonazepam is bioequivalent in its performance and dosage strength, expect the generic is version is lower in price due to these companies not being imposed by the research and development of the drug. One of the important features of online drugstores is that they only source the generic Klonopin pills from registered trademark companies that are FDA approved. So without further ado, you can order Klonopin online from licensed online pharmacies that aim to reach the pinnacle of pharmaceutical industry solely by providing a valuable service.
How Effective Is Klonopin For Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
Mental health disorder condition is of varied type and one such classification is the generalized anxiety disorder or GAD as it is commonly known in medical parlance. People affected of GAD worry without a reason and often fear the worst even when there is nothing much to be worried about. Researchers have discovered the potential of Klonopin in treating the symptoms of GAD off late.
People affected with this condition can buy Klonopin online in low dosage strength and undergo the course of therapy for at least six months' time so as to experience positive relief. In some individuals, GAD is acute, whereas in others the intensity of GAD is severe in nature. The medical therapy with Klonopin anti-anxiety medication should be commenced at the early stage itself, so as to not let the symptoms of GAD aggravate.
Klonopin dosage for generalized anxiety disorder
The exact Klonopin dosage depends on the intensity of the medical condition. With regards to generalized anxiety disorder, if the intensity is acute, Klonopin 1mg should be the ideal choice, whereas for those battling with severe GAD symptoms, Klonopin 2mg should be administered. In fact, many medical experts argue that the medication works extremely well even in low dosage strengths.
To start with klonopin 0.25 mg can be administered thrice a day. It can gradually be scaled to 0.75 mg and even further as days passes by. It is generally well tolerated. Another big reason why this drug is considered so very effective is because it works quite fast and it is absorbed into the blood stream within 30 to 45 minutes of consumption. Hence patients can expect to get best results within the shortest period of time. Don't forget to source a proper prescription before buying Klonopin online.
Buying Klonopin Generic online
For treating acute GAD symptoms, Klonopin generic pills are also widely used. The reason for the effectiveness of Klonopin generic pills (Clonazepam) can be attributed to its prolonged half-life. The medicinal ingredients linger in the body for 30 minutes thereby offering a comprehensive relief. Hence, even if a patient starts on with a small dose of 0.25 mg twice a day, he or she can expect to experience relief over the next 48 hours. Perhaps, generic klonopin is the best choice for those opting to combat the symptoms of GAD in a less complex manner.
Klonopin side effects
Though the pill causes side effects as like other anti anxiety medication, they aren't life threatening or something that is difficult to overcome. Drowsiness is the most common side experienced by major proportion of the patients undergoing course of therapy with Klonopin. Other prominently occurring side effects that is observed in patients are
- Abnormal change in eye movements,
- respiratory depression,
- slurred speech,
- tremor,
- headache.
The psychiatric side effects triggered upon consumption of klonopin are
- confusion,
- hallucinations,
- increased sex drive,
- agitated feelings,
- aggressiveness,
- nervousness,
- weary dreams.
Make sure to order klonopin online after identifying the possible side effects that might get triggered in the body upon consuming it along with other medications.

Go on, or go home.
By the way, I didn't mean to give you the idea that Torts didn't answer any questions before the game. He did talk about whether the mindset was any different today that it has been lately.
"They're loose, they're confident, and they should be," he said. "Again, this isn't the playoffs. It has been kind of our playoffs the last little while, just trying to climb the hill to get to the game where you have the opportunity to get in. To me that's the most difficult time to try to get yourselves through. They deserve a lot of credit for grinding through and getting to this opportunity. Now they just need to go out and play."
Oh, and before he stormed off after the last question, he added a "My God."
Could have been a lot worse.
I was reading that 88 points will be the lowest total to qualify for the playoffs since the Bettman Bonus Point for losing a skills competition was instituted in 2005. And two teams will have 88. I told you it was the Leastern Conference.
Just had a nice chat with the Captain, and by Captain, I mean No. 11.
Also spoke to Dave Brown. The perfect example of how the toughest, meanest hockey players are almost always the nicest, most polite and respectful people in the game. Man, he was a monster when he wore No. 21. Such a good guy now.

The St. Clair County Courthouse
completed in 1861
St. Clair County Genealogical Society (SCCGS)
Helping genealogists discover their Illinois roots since 1977.
To obtain photocopies of the full schedule which answers 52 questions asked of farm owners, managers, or tenants, see below.
To farms in Mascoutah, Summerfield and Lebanon
Marissa, Fayetteville, Darmstadt, New Athens, and Lenzburg
O'Fallon, Shiloh, and Belleville
Smithton, Freeburg, Millstadt and Flora
Gartside, French Village, East St. Louis, Centreville Station, and Brooklyn
Agricultural schedules were taken at the time of the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 federal censuses. All are extant for St. Clair county, Illinois. A clear picture of the acreage, machinery, livestock, and produce on each farm is included on the full schedule. Fifty-two questions were asked (see below) but only five of those columns are shown in this transcription. These column number and descriptions are
Farms, for the purposes of the agricultural schedule, included all considerable nurseries, orchards, and market gardens, which were owned by separate parties, cultivated for pecuniary profit, and employed as much as the labor of one able-bodied workman during the year. Farms of fewer than three acres were not reported unless five hundred dollars worth of produce was sold off from it during the year. A farm was what was owned or leased by one man and cultivated under his care. The 1870 agricultural schedule for St. Clair county was taken between 01 June and 07 August 1870. The question arises as to what is the agricultural year. The census states it should be for the year ending on 01 June 1870, however that cuts the agricultural year in half. So depending upon when the census taker arrived and whether instructions were followed in full, production could be for either 1869 or for 1870.
- 1-name
- 2-acres of improved land
- 3-acres of woodland
- 5-value of farm, and
- 6-value of farm machinery.
Each section of the schedule begins with the post office, the township and range location of the farm (for example, T1N R8W) and the agricultural schedule page number. Each entry extends across two pages. Consequently, names only appear on the odd numbered pages. In this online version, townships have been grouped together for easier viewing instead of the order found on the original schedule. However, the original page number used on the schedule has been preserved.
The original author tried to be as accurate as possible, transcribing exactly what the enumerators wrote down. Many surnames were misspelled or spelled as they sounded to the enumerator and consequently are not as we might spell them today. Surnames in [brackets] provide possible spellings of the name today. The three enumerators for this census and special schedule were Gustav Wetzlau, James P. White, and Charles Duering. Parts of Freeburg Township are duplicated in the census. Most of the handwriting was fairly clear, but there were times when personal judgment was aided with use of a magnifying glass, the 1860 U.S. census and the 1903 atlas.
PHOTOCOPIES of the original census showing all 52 columns of information may be obtained from the Belleville Public Library BPL policy or on request from the Illinois State Archives ISA policy. Include in your request the 1) title of the record and county, 2) name of the individual, 3) township and range description, and 4) 1870 agricultural schedule page number.
The 52 questions asked are numbered as the columns are found on the original schedule.
1. Name of agent, owner or manager
2. Acres of improved land
3. Acres of wood-land
4. Acres of other unimproved land
5. Present dollar value of farm

Arthritis is a condition characterized by joint inflammation. Joint injury can be caused by trauma or by the wear and tear of aging. Arthritis is one of the most widely misunderstood conditions. When one hears this word, they envision a future with crippled and twisted joints. However "arthritis" is a very general word that encompasses many different conditions from the benign to the severe.
Because the nervous system controls and coordinates all of the different functions of your body, any disruption in nerve communication to your organs and body tissues will result in abnormal function. Chiropractors help restore normal nerve function and communication, thereby allowing your body to work normally and naturally.
The result is often a reduction in pain and inflammation, as well as prevention of further deterioration. Research has also demonstrated that arthritic changes begin in the spinal joints in as few as three days after a joint becomes fixated. Relief from pain and prevention of further deterioration are among the many "side effects" of regular chiropractic care.

I guess my one question would be to ask by what you mean with
 auto-mounting. Do you mean you want the system to detect, and mount the
 media to /mnt/usb or somewhere, or that you want insert notification
 like with HAL, that detects when you insert a new device, and asks what
 you want to do with it.

 Right now on my system, If I plugin a USB memory stick, the KDE device
 notifier pops up, and lets me know, and gives me the option to mount, or
 run other actions on the device. That seems like a pretty reasonable
 thing to do to me. I only have to click once, and my media is mounted
 and ready to go.

Sorry to use the Mac analogy again, but on a Mac, you plug in a USB flash disk and it automatically shows on your Desktop. You drag it to the Trash can and it gets umounted, if no files are open on it.
 Perhaps {Free|PC}BSD can have something like that?
When I plug in a flash disk, I for sure want to use it, so no need to prompt me to mount it, no? It should just get mounted.
That's what I thought. So perhaps just mount to ~/Desktop/{$LABELNAME}
