The wait is over. You can now play Mario on your iPhone or iPad.
Super Mario Run is now available for download in the App Store. The game consists of six worlds with four courses in each. The first three courses of the game can be played for free, but to unlock more levels you'll have to pay $9.99, £7.99 or AU$14.99. You'll need an internet connection to play.

Autolinking terms in posts
I need a hack/plugin which will autolink some exact words/terms in my posts. For example, I've a glossary page with some special terms and their meanings. And when I use that terms in my posts, I put a link to that page. Now I want a script which will automatically autolinks that specific(defined)terms in any posts to that glossary page.
Is it possible?

Washington (AP) - President Barack Obama made a rare appearance in the White House briefing room Friday to mark his longtime aide Robert Gibbs' last day at the White House.
Obama lauded Gibbs as an "extraordinary" press secretary and a great friend. He joked that Gibbs' departure was not the biggest of the day, a reference to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation earlier Friday.
Gibbs said it was a privilege to serve as press secretary during the first two years of Obama's term. He is taking some time off and will be giving paid speeches before eventually joining Obama's 2012 reelection campaign full time.
Gibbs has been one of Obama's closest advisers for several years, joining Obama's team during his 2004 Senate campaign.

Actresses Florina Cercel, Adela Marculescu and Rodica Popescu-Bitanescu have each received a star on Saturday, on the Alley of Celebrities, in the Time Square of Bucharest.
"Through my power of creation, I've always offered love, respect and a lot of gratefulness to the public that has filled the theatre or cinema halls," said Florina Cercel, while Adela Marculescu has invited to "having a thought for those who are not with us anymore and have fathered the Romanian theatre school."
"Notwithstanding, we should rather know to thank while they are alive," the actress added.
In her turn, Rodica Popescu-Bitanescu confessed that "she is floating with happiness in the past days."
"I'm extraordinarily accomplished that my so many years' work is acknowledged," she said.
Theater specialist Manuela Cernat said that Florina Cercel is "a force of the nature, a hurricane, a tsunami capable to unleash the audience's enthusiasm and dominate the stage, as few personalities could," while director Felix Alexa praised the "professionalism, the total dedication and energy" that characterize Adela Marculescu. Also, actor Razvan Hancu has characterized Rodica Popescu-Bitanescu in a nutshell 'in five words': "actress, director, dramatist, teacher and not least, human being."
The general mayor ad interim of Bucharest, Razvan Sava made a eulogy of the talent and artistic merits of the three ladies of the Romanian theatre.
The manager of the Metropolis Theatre, George Ivascu was the event's amphitryon.AGERPRES(RO — author: Daniel Popescu, editor: Vicentiu Purcarea; EN: author, editor: Maria Voican)

During my experience with Gene I was unaware of what was goin on until the day I was about to lose my case... he told me one thing in the beginning and a whole lot different towards the end. Felt unworthy.
Posted by anonymous
I've known Gene (along with dozens of other lawyers) for over 10 years but never thought I would need his services. But that's not how life works sometimes. When my family member needed help, I knew there was only one person to call. Gene was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and mater-of-fact in his work. He is a honest man and worked hard to reach an honorable outcome. I hold him in the highest regards and would not hesitate to recommend or retain him again if needed.
Posted by Charles B.
From the minute I called Gene he took control of my case and lead me straight through to a incredible outcome in an unfortunate situation. He combined law and compassion to deal with the legal side of the issue as well as the human side. I am forever grateful to have Gene in my corner and never once felt I was just a number in a file - top notch attorney and a stand up individual.
Posted by Carlton
In my life, I NEVER planned on being in a situation where I needed an attorney. But when that unfortunate day arrived I knew only one man to call: Gene Nichols. I knew Gene personally as an honest, hardworking leader in the community. He's a good man. I was pleased to learn--he's an even better attorney. Gene handled my case directly and stayed in constant contact with me to share updates and new information pertaining to my case. He handled the case quickly and thoroughly. I felt like I knew exactly what was happening at every stage of the process. He was honest with me about the likelihood of each scenario. Gene's legal expertise and prominent reputation in the legal community made my experience as stress-free as these things can be. He took a personal interest in my case and really made me feel like he was fighting for me. If you want the highest quality experience with a bright, honest and effective attorney--I strongly recommend Gene Nichols. He delivers!
Posted by Mindy Underwood
I have had to hire over 4 attorney within a year and until I found Mr. Nichols I had given up all hope in law and I had lost all faith and trust in lawyers! Attorney Eugene Nichols changed my mind 100%!
Individuals seeking legal advice, help and representation need not look any further, Attorney Eugene Nichols is your man. Mr. Nichols's professionalism, follow through and expertise was above all my expectations. He represents the field of law in such a way that Mr. Nichols brings nothing but compassion, integrity and honor to the justice system. I would recommend his services a million times over! Thank you so much Eugene! I pray that I can raise my boys to have the kind of character you have! We are so grateful for your help!
Posted by anonymous
Attorney Nichols is a fine attorney with an excellent moral character. He treats all of his clients as if they are his only client. He works hard to ensure that each and every client is treated fairly and are given the best deal possible. He ensures that all of his clients understand and are fully aware of their plea agreements. He is a fine trial attorney and if he takes your case to trial he will win it. He is not an attorney who just does the work for the money; he genuinely cares about his clients and his staff. I recommend him without reservation.
Posted by Daniel
Mr. Nichols is the best lawyer one could ask for. I went to him with a charge that has a mandatory jail sentence. My daughter was just born so I was scared to death of leaving my wife and her alone. When I talked to him for the first time I could tell he knew what he was talking about and he was very honest. I did not feel like he was telling me what I wanted to hear so he could get my money, so I chose him. After one week of him taking my case, he called me back into his office to talk. When I got there he told me that we were going to go talk to the state attorney, and if everything went well they would give me pre-trial intervention for six months and then drop the charges. That's pretty incredible that they didn't prosecute . Trust me they had enough evidence against me to do so. Somehow he got all the charges dropped and I never even had to go to court. He had serious influence on state attorney's decision. That is what everyone is looking for when they hire an attorney for a criminal defense case. Best choice I have ever made letting him fight my case. Highly recommended!

Search for missing Waikato family successfully concluded in Hawkes Bay
The search for a family last seen in a distressed state in Cambridge early this afternoon has been successfully concluded with the family's vehicle stopped in the Hawkes Bay early this evening.

Jerk Pork With Grilled Pineapple and Corn
Quick look
- prep 20 min cook 25 min
- serves 4
- 4 pork loin steaks, trimmed of excess fat
- 15 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 10 allspice berries, crushed, or 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

- Pinch of grated nutmeg
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1
Using a mortar and pestle, blender or food processor, blend together the ingredients for the jerk seasoning to make a smooth paste. Thinly brush or spread this mixture over both sides of the pork steaks and place, side by side, in a non-metallic shallow dish. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

When you are ready to cook, preheat the grill to high. Remove the husks from the corn and trim the ends. Cut the corn in half crossways. Add to a saucepan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes until just tender. Drain well, then lightly brush them with the softened butter.

While the corn is cooking, top and tail the pineapple. Cut off the skin, then cut out any remaining hard 'eyes'. Slice the fruit into eight wedges and cut away the central core from each piece. Brush all over with the honey.

Arrange the pineapple wedges and corn on the grill tray. Cook for about 5 minutes until the pineapple and corn are lightly singed. Turn the pineapple and corn frequently to prevent them from burning. Serve hot, with the pork, with paper napkins for sticky fingers.

Randy & I had neighbors years ago who lamented that the grandparents considered it their duty to go out and buy the biggest piece of plastic they could find and then bless their grandchildren; i.e., the parents, with it. We remembered those words when we became grandparents and have tried to live by them. :) Our latest achievement was the purchase of a picnic table for Natalie & Layla in Colorado. There's a story of our backyard fountain and Layla falling into it that precedes this purchase, but you'll have to log on to Nikki's blog to get that ugly story. So, to try to make up for the fun, albeit risky fun, that went away with the draining of the fountain, Granny went out and bought the biggest piece of plastic that would fit into Papa's jeep. You can tell how thrilled my son-in-law Casey is with the "some assembly required" process. Twelve or so sturdy pieces of plastic and 500 or so screws and washers later, viola! In the meantime, the girls had way too much fun with the BOX the thing came in...hmm...ancient wisdom playing itself out here...anyway, they--Natalie & Layla-- love it-inside & out of doors! I think it was a hit, which is all that matters to these Grandparent Units :D

No Time For Jetlag 2
I have just one more week here in Colorado before I head back to Mongolia. As you can see, I'm having a great time with my daughter Nikki and her husband Casey and my 2 little granddaughters, Natalie (3) and Layla (1)--I don't think the pictures need much explanation :D I suppose I should add that Natalie does wear clothes; it's just that she prefers to focus on the lower half when it comes to dress up.

I Travel AND I Sew!
I've decided not to wait any longer to share what I've been doing in the sewing room (I actually have 2: one an actual sewing room in UB and another set up in a corner of my loft here in Denver). So, even though life was pretty hectic back in UB getting ready for an annual fundraising event, etc. (oh and that little power outage thing--60 hours without in one week!), I still managed at least 15 minutes of sewing pretty much every day--a personal goal I've kept for years. Cheaper than therapy, eh?
Stay tuned for all the grandkid projects I'm feverishly trying to finish :)
Let's see...one project from a while back involved making my too-high-waisted (and OK, too tight) jeans into lower waists by removing the waist bands and using bias tape with the original closures. This helped me get another winter out of them. Next, I made some appliance covers from scraps to help ward off those wicked spring time dirt storms from the Gobi Desert. Those who know me best will be amazed that I have finally branched out from blue & white in the kitchen. Plus, I finally found a use for the lime green piping from my mother's sewing room.
Then, there are some jacket/tops that I had to modify from a Vogue pattern. Then a gold jacket for opera season in UB--yup, it's true: real Italian opera sung by real Mongolians in fancy Russian-style theatres--for about $5 an evening!
Last is a skirt I made that has a tulip hem. I stumbled upon an Indian shop in UB (!) that had a few dozen bolts of rayons in stock. The one I picked sewed this skirt of beautifully.
The sheer top was a re-do. I made this from one of those artsy-fartsy patterns about 5 years ago and the long sleeves always bugged me. So, I cut them off :) I've worn it on several beach trips and it's great as it's light, cool and wrinkle-free.

No Time for Jetlag #1
I landed in Spokane, WA from Mongolia just one night before a big (18 people!) birthday party for Hannah (turning 7) and Elijah (turning 4) on Sunday afternoon. Their actual birthdays were then celebrated again on Monday & Wednesday. In between, we managed to enjoy lunch dates, a trip to Spokane's famous carousel, and a group date with Granny to buy new swim suits and flip flops for all. FUN! Oh! even though Julia's birthday isn't until May 30, Mom allowed us to cheat and I finally got to watch a granddaughter open her traditional 1st birthday gift of an American Doll Bitty Baby (after 5 granddaughters, I was due, eh?). Stay tuned for Denver pics!

GREEN MOON STORY - The GREEN MOON really did float up DOWN IN THE VALLEY and sit on the eastern horizon almost within touching reach one evening last summer while Bud and I were sitting naked in two aluminum lawn chairs. Naked because it was 115 degrees at 9:00 pm. It had been too hot to walk for days. Too hot to sleep, too hot to watch TV. Aluminum lawn chairs because that's what we have for outdoor living at the TRAILER UP ON A HILL. The Green Moon just floated up against the pinkish yellow sky and sat there almost on the ground for an hour before it rose and the sky changed color. It was something to write a song about which I haven't done yet. I have written all around it, but not on it. Instead I packaged ten songs together and stood them up side by side and named them all after that GREEN MOON.
GREEN MOON is the completion of a project I started ten years ago. I recorded the soundtrack album for the film FOOL FOR LOVE in 1985. Right after that, in 1986, I recorded a four song demo in Nashville PAINT THE KITCHEN PINK, TRAIN FARE TO MEMPHIS, FOOL FOR LOVE, COWGIRL BLUES. Movie music supervisor Karyn Rachtman placed song after song from that cassette demo into movies she was working on; the most well known being Reservoir Dogs, the first movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The Last Seduction & Motorcycle Gang also carry my songs.
In 1995 I moved to a new land where everything is a stranger and nothing is familiar and pieces of new songs kept popping out on napkins and post its all over my house and in my car. I'd moved to Oakdale, California which is in farm la la land, the Central Valley. It's not the mid-west. It's the west. I found out that I am not a farmer, nor am I a cowgirl. Not a city girl either, though. Lots of song fodder. I felt a strong urge to be myself, whoever she is, and part of that was to finish what I had started ten years before. I came up a little more bluesy.
GREEN MOON co-producer Bob Regan and the GREEN MOON BAND - Awesome Nashville cats headed up by my long time friend, Bob Regan, Nashville country-hit-song-writer-producer and guitar player extraordinaire. I've known Bob since the 70's in Davis CA when I first started playing at the Antique Bizzare and he was playing with his rock/r&b band the 4-Skins. Regan helped me over the top with production on this project plus did all the guitar work, backup vocals and hand-claps! Johnny Neel on harp, keyboards, bluesy backup vocals. Paul Scholten drums & percussion. Scot Q. Merry on bass except he was on vacation for the last session so Duncan Mullins finished the bass work. Brook Langton on pedal steel. Recorded at County Q in Nashville - very smooth operation.
FOOL FOR LOVE 1986 - I had only been living at the ranch in Santa Rosa for awhile. My dad died a year before. Sam called one day in April and said he'd like me to write some songs for the movie version of his play, FOOL FOR LOVE. He had begun production in Santa Fe and had played an old tape for Robert Altman of me singing - a tape that he'd been carrying around for years - some of my very first songs - "Wedding Band," "Man of My Dreams," "True Love," "You Lied Your Way Right Into My Heart, Honey. " He had played the darn tape for Robert Altman. Well, low and behold Altman went nuts. That tape had been recorded when I first started singing and playing the guitar and was, well, funky. Of course it was scratchy and missing some high end too by now. Well, of course, Robert Altman would love it.
I went immediately to the basement apartment to write songs for the movie. We'd just had a new filly born at the ranch out of Jesse's mare, Ruby. It was a beautiful time of year. I wrote "Let's Ride" and "Comes and Goes" and a song called "Elainey May" and got those off to Sam in three days. Sam called back right away and said he loved them, but couldn't understand what I was saying "moving with the move?" No, no, bro, "moving with the moon." "Oh, okay, that's good. " He would submit them to Altman. Altman loved those - and wanted more, wanted to see if I could do the whole soundtrack. I wrote "Rosa" "A Heart That's Broke" and "Why Wyoming" (with the help of Louise Kirchen) in another spurt and sent them off. Next - I should come back to the set in Santa Fe and meet everyone. So I flew to Santa Fe. Sam was living there at the time. I had just flown back a year before for my father's funeral.
Recording the Soundtrack , Picking the producer/engineer/studio - Jim Gaines at the Record Plant. Jim was a friend of my husband Doug Killmer (best bucket blues bassist alive). Jim produced Huey Lewis and Journey. Met with Gaines at his house and he listened to a few songs and was interested. So I recommended him to Altman. Cannon Films liked the idea of Gaines and so we were down to the wire. We had six new songs and I had always wanted to record "End of the World" - so that was 7. Altman wanted a title cut called "Fool for Love." I submitted a song that I now call "Four Letters in Blue" and the "Fool for Love" that appears in RESERVOIR DOGS and 3 more songs with that title. Altman didn't like any of them and he went ahead with "Let's Ride" for the title song. That is really the pick of the soundtrack album. "Black Sidewalk" was one from my song bank. Altman really liked it but couldn't fit it into the movie. It just appears on the album.
RESERVOIR DOGS - "FOOL FOR LOVE "1994 - appears in the background in this movie a couple of times when Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) goes back to his house. Whenever he turns on the radio there's my song. When Karyn was explaining the movie to me she said there is an undercover cop who likes country music and we need your music for him. So in that scene when Mr. Orange is looking in the mirror, he knows he's been made, but he also knows he has to go to the meeting, my song is in the background, he can't go backwards or sideways, he can't chicken out, but he will probably die... "you foooooool for love, what he wouldn't dooooooo for lo a ove". Yeah. I'm not sure if he ever did die, but he sure bled alot. So much blood that it is hilarious. They almost used "Train Fare to Memphis" also. I had mentioned to Karyn that I had intended for that song to be a duet - where the chorus is sung by the male with the female harmonizing and the verses sung by the female. Quentin talked about having Maria McKee and Dwight Yokum re-record it like that, as a duet. That never did happen. Would have been like a Righteous Brother with a sister instead. Oh well, those kinds of ideas come and go. Nice to just be part of the thought. [MORE "RATTLE" IN GARLIC]

The current version on the web is a subset of the database. It cuts
at year 1410. So, for someone who married in 1410 or before, you will
see the parents with links and the married children with no link.
And for the parents, say married in 1380, you would see a link to the
child married in 1410.
I want to see how robots will try to copy the who site and if anyone
tries to do it. And when I will believe I can go ahead, I will add
the 1411-1710 block. Thus far, I think only 2 Quebec and 1 Acadia
immigrants with a long line would be omitted from the site (but not
their ancestors).
As to compare with the database of Leo, mine is far from being
complete and it is not the primary goal. I will see if I should
try to have more people or only the main lines from immigrants to
royalty as it is now. I can easily find more material for many lines,
by the way.

The two men charged with vehicular manslaughter in the 2010 death of a 27-year-old professional bicyclist recently accepted bles deals with the court and were convicted of the charge.
Patrick Roraff and Brett Morin were involved in a crash April 8, 2010 where street racing was involved and claimed the life of Ontario resident Jorge Alvarado, prosecutors said.
Roraff, a Highland resident, and a passenger were heading north on Greenspot Road in a 2002 Honda Accord the day of the incident, authorities said. San Bernardino resident Morin was driving one of two other vehicles involved.
Roraff lost control while trying to pass one of the other vehicles and struck Alvarado, who was riding his bike in the area.
On Wednesday, Morin withdrew his plea of not guilty and admitted to using a deadly weapon during the incident, according to court records. A plea agreement bargain with the court was filed with the court and Morin is set to be sentenced on Oct. 3 at the San Bernardino Superior Court.
He is facing three years felony probation and up to a year in county jail.
In July, Roraff changed his plea of not guilty to guilty referencing one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence in a plea deal with the court, according to court records.
He was sentenced on Aug. 6 to 90 days in county jail and three years OF felony probation.
Roraff's terms include 100 hours of community service - half of which involves interaction with others about the dangers of reckless driving, according to court records.

April 28th Games
AAA Toledo Mud Hens – SYRACUSE 5, TOLEDO 3

AA Erie SeaWolves - ERIE 9, BOWIE 7
9-10, 5th in Western Division
A+ Lakeland Flying Tigers – LAKELAND 5, DAYTONA 3
10-9, 3rd in North Division
A West Michigan Whitecaps - LANSING 2, WEST MICHIGAN 1
6-14, 7th in Eastern Division
The Mud Hens dropped their match with Syracuse on Wednesday evening, falling 5-3. Ryan Ketchner took a no decision as the starter, giving up three runs (two earned) in five innings. Josh Rainwater took the loss for giving up two runs in his two innings of relief. Casper Wells supplied all of the offense for the Hens, belting a three run home run in the first inning to give Toledo the early lead. But the team managed just five hits for the whole game, and couldn't help pick up the pitching staff on this night.
Despite starting the year off with such a tough losing streak, the SeaWolves moved to within one game of .500 with a 9-7 win over Bowie on Wednesday. Andy Dirks and Wilkin Ramirez helped power the offense, each belting a two run homer, while Josh Burrus drove in three runs for the 'Wolves. Erie maintained a six run lead after their half of the fifth, but had to hold on late after a push from Bowie. Thad Weber picked up the win, his first of the year, giving up three runs in five innings. Jared Gayhart picked up the save for tossing the final three innings to secure the win.
Like Tuesday night, the Flying Tigers gave up three runs to Daytona, but unlike Tuesday, Lakeland put up five runs this time around to pick up the win. Adam Wilk got the start and a no decision, allowing three runs (two earned) in six innings. Anthony Shawler tossed three perfect innings of relief to earn the win. Alden Carrithers and Rawley Bishop each had two hits and scored two runs, while Kody Kaiser added a solo home run. Bryan Pounds also had two hits and drove in two runs for the Flying Tigers.
The Whitecaps offense struggled once again on Wednesday as they fell to Lansing 2-1. Ramon Lebron was very wild, walking five in just 2 2/3 innings of work. However, he only allowed two runs as he didn't give up a single hit. Cory Hamilton, who recently joined the club, tossed 3 1/3 innings of shutout relief. Jordan Lennerton had two hits for the team, including a double, while Billy Alvino scored the team's only run. Jamie Johnson also had a hit and a walk from the top of the order.

This storybook heroine is from the classic work
of children's literature by the English mathematician and
author, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, written under the
pseudonym Lewis Carroll. She fell down a rabbit-hole into a
fantasy realm populated by grotesque figures like talking
playing cards and anthropomorphic creatures.
Sounds like an average day at work.

Captain James Hook is
the villain of J. M. Barrie's play and novel Peter Pan.
Hook is a pirate captain and Peter Pan's nemesis. It is said
that he was Blackbeard's bosun, and that he was the only man
Barbecue (aka 'The Sea Cook') Long John Silver ever feared. Hook
wears an iron hook in place of his right hand which was cut off
by Peter Pan and eaten by a crocodile. The crocodile liked the
taste so much, it follows Hook around constantly, hoping for
more. Luckily for Hook, it also swallowed a clock, so Hook can
tell from the ticking, when the Crocodile is near.
Talk about watching the clock.

The Adventures of Pinocchio
is a story about an animated puppet, talking crickets, boys who
turn into mules and other fairy tale devices that would be
familiar to a reader of Alice in Wonderland or Brothers
Grimm; in fact earlier in his career Collodi worked on a
translation of Mother Goose.
Elizabeth's reign raised England's status
abroad immeasurably. "She is only a woman, only mistress of half
an island," marveled Pope Sixtus V, "and yet she makes herself
feared by Spain, by France, by the Empire, by all". Under
Elizabeth, the nation gained a new self-confidence and sense of
sovereignty, as Christendom fragmented. Elizabeth was the first
Tudor to recognize that a monarch ruled by popular consent. She
therefore always worked with parliament and advisers she could
trust to tell her the trutha style of government that her
Stuart successors failed to follow. Some historians have called
her lucky; she believed that God was protecting her. Priding
herself on being "mere English", Elizabeth trusted in God,
honest advice, and the love of her subjects for the success of
her rule.
William Shakespeare
was an English poet and playwright, now widely regarded as the
greatest writer in the English language and the world's
preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet
and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving
works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative
poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated
into every major living language and are performed more often
than those of any other playwright.
are the natives of the fictional Munchkin Country in the Oz
books by L. Frank Baum. They first appeared in the 1900 novel
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which they are described as
being somewhat short of stature, and wear only blue. Later books
never note anything unusual about Munchkin height but emphasize
the color preference.
Dorothy Gale
is the young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her Uncle
Henry and Aunt Em, and her little dog Toto. (Her last name is
only revealed in later books in the Oz series.) One day a
tornado appears outside and before Dorothy can reach the storm
cellar, the farmhouse is caught up in the twister and deposited
in a grassy field in the country of the Munchkins.
Wizard of Oz
In Baum's
classic 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the living
scarecrow encounters Dorothy Gale in a field in the Munchkin
Country while she is on her way to the Emerald City. The
"mindless" Scarecrow joins Dorothy in the hope that The Wizard
will give him a brain. After Dorothy and her friends have
completed their mission to kill the Wicked Witch of the West,
the Wizard gives the Scarecrow brains (made out of bran, pins
and needles in reality a placebo, as he has been the most
intelligent of the travelers all along). Before he leaves Oz in
a balloon, the Wizard appoints the Scarecrow to rule Oz in his
The Tin
Woodman is a character in the
fictional Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum.
Baum's Tin Woodman first appeared in his classic 1900 book,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and reappeared in many other Oz
books. In late 19th century America, men made out of various tin
pieces were used in advertising and political cartoons. Baum,
who was editing a magazine on decorating shop windows when he
wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was reportedly inspired
to invent the Tin Woodman by a figure he had built out of metal
parts for a shop display.
The Cowardly
Lion makes his first appearance in the book The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz. He is the last of the companions Dorothy
befriends on her way to the Emerald City. The Cowardly Lion
joins her so that he can ask The Wizard for courage, being
ashamed that, in his cultural role as the King of the Beasts, he
is not indeed brave. Despite outward evidence that he is
unreasonably fearful, The Cowardly Lion displays great bravery
along the way
The Wicked Witch, played by
actress Margaret Hamilton, was stooped, green-skinned, and
dressed entirely in black. In many people's minds, this
representation of The Wicked Witch has become an archetype for
human wickedness.
The Witch is the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East, who
is killed when Dorothy Gale arrives in Oz. The Witch asks aloud,
"Who killed my sister?". When Dorothy claims the death was an
accident, the Witch of the West replies, "Well, my little
pretty, I can cause accidents too." It is from this movie that
popular culture gets the oft-quoted phrase, "I'll get you, my
pretty, and your little dog too!" Later, when she sends her
flying monkeys to capture Dorothy, she stands by the window
shouting, "Fly! Fly!" repeatedly. This too is a very
well-remembered quotation of hers.
Robin Hood
has become shorthand for a good-hearted bandit who steals from
the rich to give to the poor. It is also a proverbial expression
for somebody who takes other people's giveaways and gives them
to people he or she knows who could use them. This can be called
"Robin Hood giving." Many countries and situations boast their
own Robin Hood characters.
Starting in 2007, the University of Nottingham
will be offering a Masters degree on the subject of Robin Hood.

IL and STX are proud to bring you a full line up of content specifically designed for women. Lax Her Essentials is a feature focused on delivering you content for the player and by the player, covering everything from skill-building, lifestyle products, players' mindset and more.
For this week's Lax Her Essential, we hop on the bus with Princeton to get a little insight into what goes on during the Tigers' road trips. Every lacrosse team travels, and sometimes that travel involves a long bus ride and what better to do to kill some time on a bus ride than watch a few movies!
Each team approaches the movie-on-the-bus decision a little differently and it's certainly not a decision to be taken lightly. In this week's Lax Her Essential, Princeton midfielder Caroline Rehfuss and defenders Lindsay deButts and Erin Williams delve into the choice flicks for their trips.
The Justin Bieber Movie — Our entire team is obsessed with him!
Just Friends — A few of the girls on the team love to quote this movie at practice, making us all laugh.
Beyonce's Live "I Am...Yours" performance in Las Vegas — Our assistant coach one year brought this DVD on the bus for one of our away trips. After the bus ride, we ended up watching the DVD for a second time that day in one of the girl's hotel rooms because we loved it so much!
Obviously Never Say Never and Beyonce are always encouraged but I say we normally watch a little bit of everything. The freshmen are normally in charge of this.
We watch a wide range of movies on the bus rides but some favorites are rom-com's (romantic comedies) and seasons of Friends. But the only movie that literally everyone paid attention to (no laptops, no texting, no ipods, no homework) was Never Say Never: The Justin Bieber movie.

Jason Sobel talks about Rory McIlroy's rise
The GolfChannel.com Senior Writer tells Daybreak, that Rory McIlroy is a refreshing alternative to the Tiger era.
Jason Sobel: "When about 60 media members were out watching Tiger's parking spot the other day, Rory McIlroy at one point walked right past them with the (British Open Trophy) in his hand and no one even really turned around and looked at him. He kind of just walked past and it wasn't a big deal... That said, Rory's been getting plenty of attention but he's been dealing with it wonderfully. This kid is grounded. He's been open, honest, engaging, funny, humbling, he's just sort of everything you want in a superstar. And in a lot of respects, no knock on Tiger, but (Rory's) sort of the anti-Tiger when it comes to speaking his mind and being open."

Not the Ashes, but victory sweet for Aussies
Page Tools
That was England, Freddie and Kevin.
This is Australia.
While the two stars of the England side had things pretty much their own way during the recent series, the Australians took a slice of revenge at Telstra Dome tonight.
Nothing will bring back the Ashes - for the next 15 months at least - but Ricky Ponting's team rapped out a reminder of why they are still ranked No.1 in both forms of the game.
They thumped the much vaunted World XI by a resounding 93 runs in the opening game of the Super Series.
The result will have been sweet indeed for the Australians, who have endured a barrage of criticism since returning from England, and were somewhat affronted to be made underdogs in this series.
In short, they had something to prove tonight, especially to Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, the two stars of the English summer.
The Englishmen had a forgettable night.
Pietersen made only two before he was LBW to Shane Watson. He did, however, hold a catch after dropping all six which came his way during the Ashes Tests.
Flintoff made 38 off 52 balls, but had the worst bowling figures of the match - 0-66 off nine overs, which included a superb pulled six by Ponting.
Flintoff had Simon Katich "caught" off a no-ball when he was on 24. Katich, thrust in to open in place of Matthew Hayden, went on to top score with 58.
To rub salt into the wound, Flintoff was also on the wrong end of the first ever decision referred to the television umpire under the experimental rule being trialled in this series.
Flintoff appealed for a catch when Katich tried to hook a bouncer. Flintoff thought he got a fine edge on the way through to keeper Kumar Sangakkara.
Umpire Simon Taufel referred it to Rudi Koertzen up in the stands, but the television replays were inconclusive and Katich was allowed to bat on.
The only thing that did go Flintoff's way was when Brett Lee dropped him at long leg when he had made only five.
The two have become great mates since Flintoff put a consoling arm around the Australian's shoulder after England had won the closest Ashes Test in history at Edgbaston in August.
They each have poster-sized photographs of the moment, with admiring inscriptions from the other.
It is the image that encapsulated the spirit of that remarkable series.
All that didn't stop Lee cursing himself when he put down the regulation catch off Shane Watson. It was one of three straightforward chances the Australians grassed tonight, but they did hold some good ones as well.
Coach John Buchanan was justified in recalling specialist fielding coach Mike Young from his baseball team in the United States this week.
The reprieve at least allowed Flintoff to drop anchor for a while as the World XI tried to bat out its 50 overs.
He stayed around long enough to club man of the match Watson over the cover boundary for six, but two balls later he chanced his arm again and Glenn McGrath recovered from a slow start to grasp the chance at long-on.
With that moment, any chance of a miracle comeback was gone.

Metro's Blue Ribbon Committee
(or, how Metro got out from under the huge operating deficit created by the ten years of the Consent Decree)
In 2009, Metro was faced with a significant operating deficit as a result of a reduction in state operating subsidies, fare revenue, and overextending the amount of service provided when the Consent Decree was in force. In order to resolve the deficit, Metro undertook a plan to more efficiently allocate service and focus on providing higher quality service. They established a Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC) of key stakeholders to establish policy guidance for transit service development.
The BRC was charged with developing the basis for amending the specific service design guidelines, performance metrics and standards within the Transit Service Policy, developing future service adjustments, and establishing formal processes for the coordination of service between Metro and other transit operators. To do this, they were asked to identify and prioritize service quality attributes, and recommend guidance on service coordination, bus-rail integration, and the reduction or elimination of duplicative services.
The policy recommendations were approved by the Metro Board of Directors July 22, 2010, after six months of meetings by the BRC. The recommendations were then translated into a set of service design guidelines, performance metrics and standards which were used both to evaluate the system and to identify opportunities for service improvement. The thus-revised Transit Service Policy was used to restructure Metro's bus service, starting with the December 2010 service changes.
The BRC consisted of five Metro Governance Councilmembers (one from each of the five Councils), a member of the Metro Citizens' Advisory Council, representatives of five non-Metro transit agencies (LADOT, Norwalk Transit, Pasadena ARTS, Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, and West Hollywood CityLine), four area business organizations (the San Fernando Valley was represented by the Valley Industry and Commerce Association) and representatives from the Los Angeles Community College District and the University of Southern California. Attachment A of the
staff report
contains the policy recommendations and guidelines approved by the Board. In the area of service design, the BRC recommended that the rail system, Metro Rapid, and the Orange and Silver Lines serve as a "backbone" fed and complemented by the regional bus network. Less-frequent local bus services were seen as an augmention to the regional network for better geographic coverage but closely-spaced services were proposed for consolidation into fewer, more frequent services at a half-mile to mile route spacing.
For this series of service change programs, Metro staff used a "clustering" approach to proposals involving several lines and grouped all the lines together for each proposal. We have used the same groupings for the pages here. Where a line was cancelled (either wholly or in part, with no restructuring) or extended without a public hearing, we have made a reference to that in the list rather than create a separate page for that line; the staff reports include the maps and data for these lines, if the reader is interested in those details. The staff reports also include summaries of the public hearing comments.
It also must be noted that with the dissolution of the "service sector" operating model, the former sector Governance Councils were renamed Service Councils at the beginning of the 2011-12 fiscal year. Therefore, the line pages refer to the SFV Council by its original name for actions through June 30, 2011 and by its new name thereafter.
The December 2011 service change program was suspended after an audit by the Federal Transit Administration raised questions about the implementation of several changes systemwide. Those changes were implemented June 17, 2012; staff subsequently decided to defer the December 2012 service change program while they completed a FTA request for a Title VI review of the previous service change programs from 2009 and 2010. In October 2012, after the Department of Justice changed the FTA's involvement in the review process, Metro determined that the review would not be completed by year's end and in 2013 made only minor service changes which were not subject to the public hearing process.
On March 28, 2013, the Metro Board of Directors gave the Service Councils responsibility for conducting the triennial review of the Transit Service Policy. We have opted to continue calling this the "Blue Ribbon Committee" era because the policy changes implemented in 2010 remained the guiding force even after the responsibility for ongoing policy changes was transferred to the Councils.

Cuts to contractor numbers are at the heart of a strategic plan for the recruitment and retention of information and communications technology (ICT) skills, released by the federal government yesterday.
This will put more pressure on stretched resources; an acute IT skills shortage is expected to intensify in Canberra over the next three years.
The report, unveiled by Finance Minister
Major projects like the national broadband network and the drive for government services online, are also expected to drive a greater need for IT skills.
The report noted competition with other public and private sector employers, as well as an ageing workforce and continuing technological change, were complicating factors.
"For several years, the [Australian Public Service] has faced attraction and retention challenges for its ICT workforce," the report stated. "This is due, in part, to a lack of a clear career structure and mobility opportunities, lengthy and complicated recruitment processes, and issues with remuneration and other conditions of employment."
Lack of future career opportunities and better remuneration were cited as the most common reason for leaving the public service, in a survey conducted by Orima Research late last year.
A lack of strategic workforce planning was a key finding of the Gershon Review of federal IT spending, conducted in 2008 by management expert Peter Gershon.
It criticised the government for relying too heavily on contractors and failing to build the necessary levels of in-house skills.
Deep cuts to contractor numbers became a defining feature of the billion-dollar cost-cutting plan mandated by the Department of Finance in November 2008.
As previously reported in The Australian Financial Review, some of Canberra's chief information officers felt they had been "done over" by the rapid nature of the cuts because contractor levels were reduced before they were able to bolster permanent staff numbers.
About 1550 ICT contractors are expected to work for federal agencies by the end of 2011, about 12 per cent of the workforce. This would be half as many as identified during the Gershon Review.
Last year, one in three federal agencies reported that IT skills shortages were having "a moderate or severe" impact on their ability to provide public services.

The Cougars are on pace to lose about eight quarterbacks to injury this season. Already, they are down to third-stringer Marshall Lobbestael, a redshirt freshman. Senior starter Gary Rogers sustained a cervical spine fracture in the Portland State game, then Kevin Lopina went down with a less serious back injury. In no other Washington State season since 1976 have the Cougars used three different quarterbacks in the same season. UCLA also is down to its third-string quarterback, but Kevin Craft has had five games to work in the offense. That has made an enormous difference, as Lobbestael will be in tough in his first road start. Edge:UCLA

BaseFieldControl.ErrorMessage Property
Gets or sets a message indicating that, and possibly why, the current value of Value is invalid.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: No
Property ValueType: System.String
A String representing the error message.
The following is an example of an override of the Validate method that sets ErrorMessage. It first checks to see if the current control mode is Display, in which case it does not matter if the field is invalid because it cannot be changed anyway. The method also looks to see if the Value property is already known to be invalid by checking the IsValid property. If either of those checks is true, it does nothing. If neither is true, the method calls the base Validate which will set IsValid to false if it finds anything wrong with the Value property and set an appropriate ErrorMessage. (The BaseFieldControl.Validate method does nothing, so if the class whose Validate method is being overridden is derived directly from BaseFieldControl, then the call to the base Validate method can be omitted.) Finally, the method checks the value of Required and enforces that value.

January 13, 2012
State University of New York Empire State College and Hudson Valley Community College have formally entered into an agreement that will ease transferability of community college credits to a four-year program leading to a bachelor's degree at Empire State College.
The Pathways Transfer Program is designed for Hudson Valley Community College students who have completed or will complete an associate degree, A.A., A.S. or A.A.S., prior to enrolling at SUNY Empire State College. Through the agreement, all of the credits earned at Hudson Valley Community College can be transferred toward a bachelor's degree, B.A., B.S. or B.P.S., at Empire State College providing a seamless transition for HVCC graduates.
"The Pathways agreement removes barriers of time and place and makes it easier for Hudson Valley Community College graduates to live and work in their communities while earning a SUNY Empire State College bachelor's degree," said SUNY Empire State College President Alan R. Davis. "Our partnership builds on the SUNY systemwide efforts facilitating student transfer, and President Matonak and his team have done outstanding work in making this agreement possible."
"We are so pleased to broaden our relationship with Empire State College through this Pathways Transfer Agreement," said Hudson Valley Community College President Drew Matonak. "Many of our students enroll at Hudson Valley with the intention of transferring to complete a bachelor's degree. This agreement will provide an opportunity to do so in the unique learning environment provided by Empire State College. Students who attend Hudson Valley also generally wish to stay in the area to complete their baccalaureate. This agreement allows them to do just that."
The agreement comes at a time when online learning is growing rapidly at the Troy community college, and a growing number of online students are seeking transfer options. Enrollment in online courses at Hudson Valley grew 6.9 percent from 2009-10 to 2010-11 and the number of online course sections offered grew 13.2 percent.
With appropriate advising, Hudson Valley Community College students may complete up to 80 lower-division credits including the associate degree at Hudson Valley Community College as long as the courses meet bachelor's degree requirements. The remaining 48 upper-division credits will be completed at Empire State College.
SUNY Empire State College faculty mentors educate learners online and face-to-face through independent studies, seminars and residencies at 36 locations across New York state, including Troy.

Feb 24, 2014 - From staff reportsThe Wind River Hotel and Casino will display the art of Miss Native American USA Sarah Ortegon throughout the spring.
Ortegon will open her exhibit with a reception at 5 p.m. March 3 in the hotel lobby. The show will be on display until the end of May in the Northern Arapaho Experience Cultural Room.
Ortegon also will visit schools on the Wind River Indian Reservation to discuss her art and journey.
In 2013, Ortegon accepted the MNAUSA title in Tempe, Ariz., where she competed against nine other American Indian contestants from across the country. She is from Denver and is a member of the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes.
Last year, Ortegon graduated with a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Metropolitan State University of Denver.
Ortegon has traveled to Eastern Europe with the dance group Native Pride Dancers and has performed for communities in the Republic of Moldova.
Promoting alcohol abuse awareness and healthy living in Indian Country is important to Ortegon, and she plans to use her platform and love of art to spread her message. Last year, she also opened an art exhibit in Denver on the Metropolitan State University campus.

Dear Wayne and Wanda,
I have been dating "John" for several months now. When John and I met, I thought one of the coolest things about him was how close he is to his younger brother, "Pete." But I've found it is nearly impossible to get John alone without his brother. When we make plans for dinner, Pete tags along. Movie night at home is never just the two of us. I can't cook for John without Pete wandering in, praising my cooking, so of course I ask him to join us. If we head out to drinks, Pete always seems to show up. I love that they're so close, but I want one boyfriend, not two. Pete has dated here and there but generally is on his own and doesn't socialize much without John. How can I handle this without pissing anyone off?
If things don't work out with John, the good news is, you have Pete to fall back on! He sounds like a perfectly pleasant guy, not to mention a big fan of your cooking. Poor Pete sounds pretty lonely too. Next time you and John make a plan and Pete pops up, have a girlfriend on speed dial ready to inject into the mix. Attempting to fix Pete up with one of your friends could take some of the pressure off the two of you to provide entertainment -- or, conversely, it could annoy him enough to keep him at bay. Good luck!
Wanda's hook-up plan is nice and all, but you're not trying to increase the number of people on your dates. Time to give dear John a dating ultimatum -- either he starts to balance his time better or he can start trading ramen cooking duties with his brother again. You aren't kicking little bro to the curb, but you are asking for compromise and more quality time alone. That's not too much to ask in a committed, adult relationship. Pete is still welcome for the occasional dinner and drink -- emphasis on occasional. If John is serious about a relationship with you, he'll understand and adjust accordingly.
Dear Wayne and Wanda,
I love my girlfriend but I can't stand her older sister. She is 30, we are 25, and I can't talk about anything that's going on in life without her giving me preachy input like she knows everything and I have no idea what I'm doing. Besides being kind of a know-it-all, she just isn't a very nice person. She talks a lot of crap about people and has a pretty negative attitude. I always feel like she is judging me and sizing me up. This is the opposite of my girlfriend who is sweet, caring and nice. The problem is they are really close and my girlfriend loves having her sister along when we do stuff. Ugh. I don't know what to do.
Well the good news is you are dating your girlfriend, not her sister. Establish clear boundaries and explain this early in the relationship, you want to be a little selfish and spend time with just her as much as possible so you guys can get to know each other on a deep and intimate level. In the meantime, the bratty older sister with the negative attitude sounds like she might be a bit protective of her little sister. Give her the benefit of the doubt and keep an open mind -- and some distance.
I'm right there with Wanda: she's protective of her sister, doesn't want to share her, and is probably really lonely and sad inside. So kill her with kindness and honesty. Smile when she pouts. If she's being ridiculous with her trash talking, call her out on it. If she steps over the line and tells you how to run your relationship, tell her to dedicate her energy to finding ways to find a happier life for herself. You don't have to be rude -- just real. And oh, if you think her sister is bad, wait until your meet her parents! In-laws have ALL the answers and know more about what you should do with your life than you do!

Hi All,
Weird problem i'm having. I was using a Georgia font for a heading and wanted to use Georgia Italic instead of making a faux italic by changing the font style.
Admittedly i never tried this before, but presumed it would work fine with something like this.
h1{font-family:"Georgia Italic",Georgia, serif;}
Checking in Firefox (RC2), works fine. I have the Georgia Italic font displayed as excepted. However, on opening up in MSIE 6 (SP2) & Opera 7.54 - All on Windows XP SP2 - it seems to have decided to display Georgia and not Georgia Italic (or perhaps the default serif)
So to make things abit clearer i changed the code to the following:
h1{font-family:"Georgia Italic",Arial, serif;}
Now Firefox displays the same as before (Georgia Italic), IE6 displays Georgia (well, my default serif, which is Georgia) and Opera displays Arial !!
I'm abit confused by this whole thing. Does Firefox support Italic fonts but not IE6 or Opera 7 ? or am i missing something obvious?
Doesn't this do the job:
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
Or am I missing something obvious again
hmm .. seems my computer went nuts . or i did

Most dog walkers are very respectful of others, and keep their dog on a leash whilst out walking. there are many reasons to keep your dog on a leash, the main one being that the dog is firmly under your control when out and about. It is also safer for your dog, as unleashed dogs can get very excited by the sight of cats, their natural instinct is to chase which could result in your dog getting injured, especially if their is traffic nearby.
Unleashed dogs can also be a hazard for small children. Although you may know your dog to have a very pleasant temperament, the sight of a four legged fur ball racing towards them can upset the most stoical of children. Legally dogs (in most areas) should be kept leashed when outside in public areas, if your dog causes any kind of accident whilst off the leash you will be held liable, and this can result in very heavy fines. Even if your dog is attacked by another dog whilst off the leash it would be very hard to claim for any type of compensation.
If you allow your dog to run around whilst off the leash you could be considered as a public nuisance. Dogs are easily excitable and may cause accidents such as knocking a frail person over. They may become to excited to listen to commands, which means that the dog is not under control. Should your dog bite somebody whilst unleashed, then you will be in serious trouble.
Another reason to keep your dog on a leash is so you know exactly what they are doing. Unleashed dogs may eat all sorts of things whilst you are not looking which can cause stomach upsets or small bones to get lodged in their throat. There have been cases of dogs eating poison with disastrous effects.
Keeping a dog on a leash applies to dogs of all sizes and characteristics. You may have a friendly hypoallergenic dog that is very well behaved, but you will still be expected to keep your dog on a leash.

Judy Bickel liked to be busy
Funeral services for Judy Bickel, 62, of rural Firesteel, were held Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012, in the Timber Lake High School gymnasium.
Burial followed in the Timber Lake Cemetery under the direction of Kesling Funeral Home of Mobridge.
Judy passed away Friday, Sept. 28, 2012, after a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Judith Jean Oehlerking arrived on Aug. 13, 1950, in Mitchell, the second of six children born to Milton and Margie (Callihan) Oehlerking. Her family moved to Van Metre, near the Bad River, in 1952. Judy's early memories were of their home within the old Van Metre general store, riding horseback, and of country school where her grandmother was the teacher.
In 1959, her family moved to the Dewey Dam Ranch south of Highmore. Judy and her siblings were reliable ranch hands and she always had a fondness for this place. She attended the Dewey School through eighth grade and graduated from Highmore High School in 1968.
Judy attended Northern State College, graduating with a bachelor's degree in secondary education, majoring in business education in 1973. During college she worked at Terry's Drive-in and enjoyed working as a campus photographer.
While attending Northern she met Jack Bickel. They were married in Highmore on Aug. 19, 1972. After Judy graduated from college they made their home on the Bickel family ranch, and it quickly became home to Judy as well. This is where they raised their three daughters. Kelly Kay was born in 1981, Kasey Jean in 1984 and Robin Evanna in 1989. Judy cherished being a mom and would do anything for her girls, from sewing them new Christmas or Easter dresses to attending each and every one of their activities. She volunteered much of her time towards their organizations, including 4-H and Odyssey of the Mind.
Judy worked at the state highway department in Isabel from 1975 to 1983 and part time at the Timber Lake Topic from 1999 until recently. But most of Judy's time was spent as a hard-working ranch wife, homemaker and mother. She was an active part of daily ranch life, working calves, spending time in the field, warming up calves in cold weather, keeping meticulous bookwork, and fixing meals for work crews. She was never afraid to get her hands dirty and pitched in anywhere she could.
Judy was an active member of the Timber Lake community and was always willing to devote her time to an organization, event or fundraiser. She was a member of the United Church Parish since 1973, serving on the church council and was its treasurer for many years. She volunteered countless hours to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. In 1997 she joined the American Legion Auxiliary. Judy quickly made an impression in the organization and helped to recruit more new members. She was named South Dakota Legionette of the Year in 1998. She planned many Memorial Day programs and sent many care packages to local soldiers while deployed. She was also a member of the Timber Lake and Area Historical Society.
Judy had many talents and interests. She hated to be idle. She always had a project in the works and never left something undone. She was a talented seamstress like her mother and grandmother, sewing countless garments, costumes and keepsakes over the years. She also did some woodworking and had a passion for photography. She kept detailed photo albums and scrapbooks for her family. One of her final projects was helping her dad, Milt, compile his life story into a book in February of 2012.
Her faith was of utmost importance to her, and it only became stronger after she survived breast cancer in 2005. She fought her cancer with courage, still working and attending her girls' activities between treatments. Judy was a compassionate, kind person and constantly cared for others in her family and community.
Judy was happiest when she was spending time with her loved ones, particularly going on "sister trips" with the women in her family. In the last four years, Judy adored spending time with her granddaughter, Amelia. She truly loved being a grandma, and always had activities planned to do together when Millie visited the ranch or Grandma Judy came to visit in Brookings.
Judy leaves behind her husband of 40 years, Jack; three daughters, Kelly of Brookings, and Kasey and Robin of Firesteel; one granddaughter, Amelia Wendell; her parents, Milton and Margie Oehlerking of Ft. Pierre; one brother, Jim (Mona) Oehlerking of Pierre; four sisters, Karen (Larry) Johnson of Eldridge, Iowa, Teresa (Dave) Kusser of Pierre; Wendy (Ben) Smith of Pierre; and Anita (Kyle) Wyly of Ft. Pierre; sister-in-law, Debra (John) Meginness of Isabel; brother-in-law, Keith Bickel of Firesteel; 19 nieces and nephews; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Harry and Shirley Bickel.
Casket bearers are Judy's brother, Jim, her six brothers-in-law, Larry Johnson, Dave Kusser, Ben Smith, Kyle Wyly, Keith Bickel and John Meginness, and longtime friend, Dave Stoudt.
Honorary bearers are Edward and Megan Bickel and Mason and Baylor, Dave and Carol Stoudt, Jim and Kathy Nelson, Buck and Lori Ward, Jay and Audrey Herman, Dan and Cathy Booth, Bart and Karen Birkeland, Mike and Lonnie Luck, Gary and Sue Pederson, Karen Kraft, Herman Kraft, Andy Aberle, Walt Johnson, Alyce Johnson, Brett Mayer, the United Parish Church Women, past and present Timber Lake Topic staff, the members of the Timber Lake American Legion Auxiliary, the staff at West Dakota Health Center of Timber Lake, Dr. Ferdinand Addo and his phenomenal nurses, Dr. Josh Henderson and the caring staff at Mobridge Regional Hospital.

Ocean trench conservation
Considerable concern has been recently expressed in conservation circles about the potential threat to oceanic trench ecosystems. Here, the geological origin in environmental characteristics and biological significance of the trenches are reviewed.
Each trench provides a unique and isolated habitat, consequently endemicity has been found to be high at the specific level in each trench that has been adequately studied. However, the remoteness from primary food sources greatly reduces the richness of the fauna.
The physical instability of trench habitats deriving from their high level of seismic activity, will result in the organisms being pre-adapted to mechanical disturbance. The main threats are either direct through poisoning by toxic chemicals or indirect through the decoupling of the trench habitat from its primary food source, or reduction in oxygen levels caused either by eutrophication or reduction in flushing rates.
Only direct threats are considered as being at all dangerous, and any incident would be restricted to a single trench system. these threats could be reduced by rerouting vessels carrying toxic cargoes and by improving the effectiveness of the London Dumping Convention.
The internationally agreed criteria for the selection of sites for any proposed seabed disposal of radioactive waste exclude the use of trenches for this purpose.

What Forums are You Participating in ?
As part of the 31 day challenge to Build a Better Blog, Darren at Problogger states that forums are fantastic places for bloggers to participate for 3 main reasons:
1. Profile Building - You can build a significant profile in your niche by putting consistent time into a large forum. Basically, you can stand out in the crowd as an expert in your area.
2. Driving Traffic - People will click through to your main website such as The Somers Team or your blog - Philadelphia Real Estate Voice .
3. Understanding your Niche - These forums can become topics of new blog posts. Our post "Buyers Say No to Closing Costs: What will sellers say ? " was inspired by a Trulia question.
Four examples of forums we participate in are as follows:
Trulia Voices
Trulia Voices is our favourite forum ! You can answer consumer's questions here and set it up to have the questions emailed to you that relate to your area. Please check out our Questions and Answers Page - I just noticed that we have answered 507 questions !
We have succesfuly closed a number of transactions from connecting with consumers on Trulia and so can you !
It is also worthwhile to check out the Zillow forum for advice. We have not spent as much time here as Trulia but feel it is has potential as well. We were warned that some consider it the "wild west" of real estate as the discussions can be quite heated and it is frowned upon to have links going to your blog posts which I thought was a negative.
Northern Liberties Message Board Forum
We recently started participating in our local Northern Liberties Neighborhood community board. I would think in your area there would be a local community message board that you can participate in as well to connect with individuals in the neighborhood.
Active Rain
What better way to participate and comment then in this forum right here on Active Rain ? One can learn a ton of info and network with other Realtors and professionals all over the country while developing a strong referral network at the same time. Even within the forum, there are hundreds of invididual groups such as the "Build a Better Blog" Group that we started in correlation to the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge.
There are probably hundreds of forums you can join to help you build your blog.
What other forums do you participate in ? Please share here with a comment.

MAUMEE, Ohio -- President Obama didn't specifically cite the Supreme Court today, but he did make his feelings clear about its decision upholding the health care law.
"The law I passed is here to stay," Obama told backers in Maumee, the first stop in his bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Obama gave his first campaign speech in the week since the justices upheld the law in a 5-4 decision, including health care in a litany of re-election campaign planks.
"I'm running because I believe that in America, nobody should go bankrupt because they get sick," Obama said. "I'll work with anybody who wants to work with me to continue to improve our health care system and our health care laws, but the law I passed is here to stay."
Republican candidate Mitt Romney and other GOP lawmakers, of course, have vowed to repeal the law if they win the White House and Congress in November.
In an apparent reference to the GOP repeal pledge, Obama said: "Now is not the time to spend four more years re-fighting battles we fought two years ago."
Obama's other comments on health care:
And let me tell you something, Maumee, it is -- it is going to make the vast majority of Americans more secure. We will not go back to the days when insurance companies could discriminate against people just because they were sick. We're not going to tell 6 million young people who are now on their parents' health insurance plans that suddenly they don't have health insurance. We're not going to allow Medicare to be turned into a voucher system. ...
Now's the time to move forward and make sure that every American has affordable health insurance and that insurance companies are treating them fairly. That's what we fought for. That's what we're going to keep. We are moving forward.
