Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1665 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba dropped another rung on the average weekly earnings ladder in November, new Statistics Canada figures show.
The agency said earnings in Manitoba rose by only 0.4 per cent from October to November, compared to a one per cent gain in Quebec. That enabled Quebec to leap-frog past Manitoba into sixth place on the provincial earnings ladder, at $841.85 per week versus $839.45 for Manitoba.
Alberta continues to have the highest average weekly earnings, at $1,085.89. The national average for November was $910.77.
Canada's November earnings were up 0.5 per cent from October and 3.2 per cent from a year earlier. Manitoba's November-to-November increase was 3.4 per cent.
Statistics Canada also released the non-farm payroll employment figures for November. They showed an increase of only 0.1 per cent from October to November in the number of payroll employees in Manitoba — 576,500 versus 576,100. The year-over-year gain was 1.8 per cent.
Nationally, payroll employment was unchanged from October to November, at 15.3 million, and up 1.5 per cent from a year earlier, the agency said.
Non-farm payroll employees are people who work for someone, as opposed to being self employed.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Many creative people like inventing or improving upon things, but it is often hard to discover what needs to be invented or improved. Here are three common ways that you can discover these unmet needs.
1. Interview or observe your target consumer. For example, you might talk to a bunch of teachers to see if they have any problems that you could solve.
2. Imagine yourself in their shoes. For example, you might pretend that you are a teacher and see if you can find any unmet needs.
3. Use yourself as the consumer and keep track of your own personal unmet needs.
Whichever method you use, a great way to discover unmet needs is to keep a bug list. Any time that you notice something that takes too much time, is complicated, or seems inconvenient to your consumer, write it down on your list. You can then refer to your bug list later to see if it sparks any ideas for inventions or improvements.

More than 18,000 people entered the online lottery for 3,000 pairs of tickets to the Aug. 16 taping of "Antiques Roadshow" in Charleston.
That's just one example of the unprecedented promotional and fund-raising potential for the popular PBS program's first appearance in West Virginia, West Virginia Public Broadcasting executive director Scott Finn told members of the state Public Broadcasting Foundation Wednesday.
Finn said 18,272 people entered the lottery for tickets.
Fundraising opportunities will include an Aug. 15 reception featuring host Mark Walberg and celebrity appraisers from the show, to be held at a downtown Charleston hotel, as well as a gala premiere of one of the Charleston episodes, likely to be held at the Culture Center sometime before the three episodes are broadcast nationally in 2015.
Also, a DVD package featuring the three episodes, as well as a behind-the-scenes video produced by WVPB, will be offered as a premium to contributors in future fund-raising campaigns.
Also during Wednesday's Foundation meeting:
n Finn unveiled episodes of WVPB's new interactive Internet video series, STEAM, designed to introduce eighth-graders to career opportunities in the fields of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math.
To date, four episodes have been produced, including episodes featuring an apprentice pipefitter, and a West Virginia University creative arts professor whose specialty is producing iron sculptures. Each episode emphasizes how each career requires the use of math and science on the job.
The interactive videos are intended to be incorporated into mandatory career readiness curriculum in state public schools.
Finn said the goal is to produce videos covering a wide variety of career options in the state.
"I think we're going to keep doing this until they tell us to stop," Finn said, referring to middle school teachers.
He said the video series is an example of WVPB's transition away from producing weekly television programs to placing more emphasis on its educational mission.
To that end, he said "Doctors on Call" will go from a weekly program to six specials a year, and "The Law Works" will go from weekly to occasional special episodes.
Finn said of the transition, "It feels like we're turning a big battleship that's going in a new direction."
n Foundation members watched a preview of "Rockefeller," a WVPB documentary on the life of U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., which is currently in production and is expected to be broadcast in early 2015.

Connecting your application into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) isn't complicated, particularly if you've done Web service programming on other projects.
Before you begin, you'll need to obtain access credentials. If you already have an account with Amazon, you can easily extend it to include access to Amazon Web Services. You sign up for each service separately and, in the process, acquire access credentials. These credentials are used to create digital signatures required in requests made to any of the paid AWS components. Amazon services also accept X.509 certificates. Amazon can create a certificate for you when you subscribe to a service, or you can create your own and upload it to Amazon. Once you have your access credentials settled, you can begin working with the services themselves.
Amazon's online developer materials appear to slightly favor Java over other languages. But only slightly. While all the command-line tools for EC2 are written in Java, AWS tutorials exist for Ruby, PHP, and C#. In addition, several scratchpad applications written in HTML + JavaScript provide "live" interaction with individual Amazon Web services.
[ For an in-depth exploration of AWS, please read "Diving deep into Amazon Web Services." ]
In addition, developers looking for a leg up in building AWS-aware applications should investigate the plentiful open source library offerings linked to from the AWS Developer Connection site. JetS3T is a popular Java interface to the S3 service. Another open source Java library, typica, provides programming interfaces to EC2, SQS, SimpleDB, and DevPay. So before embarking on a roll-your-own approach, you should spend some time looking into the open source libraries available to verify that a trailblazer hasn't already created what you need.
This is precisely what I did and so discovered an open source Python library called "boto," named after an Amazon River dolphin, that simplifies working with EC2, S3, SQS, SimpleDB, and Mechanical Turk. (You can download boto.)
Because it is written in Python, boto allows on-the-fly experimentation. There are a few tutorials on the boto site, some of which are in raw text, but boto is a moderately new project -- about a year old -- and the projects' authors have done a remarkable job in that time. For creating an SQS queue, writing and reading a message, then deleting the message and its queue -- the example I wanted to build -- boto made the job fall-off-a-log easy.
Following is the source for my example SQS program. This code uses the free boto library, and demonstrates how to create, read, write, and delete an SQS message queue.
# Simple message queue test using
# the boto library
# see: http://code.google.com/boto # Import needed objects
from boto.sqs.connection import SQSConnection
from boto.sqs.message import Message # Establish a connection with SQS
# Put your IDs here
aws_access_id = ''
aws_secret_key = ''
conn = SQSConnection(aws_access_id, aws_secret_key) # Create a message queue
mq = conn.create_queue('InfoQueue')
# Create a message object and put some content in it
msg = Message()
msg.set_body('This is our first message to SQS') # Send the message -- report results
rset = mq.write(msg)
print 'Result of write: ' + rset.StatusCode # Now loop until message(s) appear in the queue
while 1
rset = mq.get_messages()
if len(rset) != 0 : break
# Print out the messages
# Delete each message after printing
for msg in rset:
print msg.get_body()
mq.delete_message(msg) # All done ... delete the queue
print 'Done'
The code is about as straightforward as it gets. I only needed to import two classes from the boto library: SQSConnection and Message. The instantiation of an SQSConnection object required two arguments: an AWS access ID and an AWS secret key. If you don't want to put your ID and key directly in the code, a variant of the SQSConnection constructor (with no arguments) will read the information from a pair of environment variables.
Once the connection object is established, one can create a queue with a call to the method create_queue("<queue name>"). If the queue already exists, the object returned represents the existing queue. Next, I instantiated a Message object and wrote the message content via the set_body() method. A call to mq.write(msg) sends the message on its way.
The method get_messages() reads all messages on the queue and returns them in a list object. I can use a while: loop to wait for my sent message to show up, then step through the returned list, printing each message's body and deleting it from the queue. (Remember, reading a message from a queue does not delete it. The message is locked for a predetermined period of time.) Finally, I delete the queue itself.
The code is simple, in keeping with AWS's central tenet, but all the fundamentals of interacting with SQS are present. The boto library -- and the Python language -- make it a snap to test an idea with "live" code, then move the results into a project once you've confirmed that your routines are working correctly.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville police are still searching for the people involved in a New Year's Day shooting at the Chicago Club in Grand Park, but as the police look for clues, Channel 4 investigators are still asking questions about the place where the nightclub's co-owner was killed and whether it could have been prevented.
The question is, who slipped up and allowed a nightclub that's in the middle of a neighborhood to operate?
Since Channel 4 began asking that question, Councilman Warren Jones has stepped up and started a fact finding mission internally.
On Tuesday, city staff indicated that at this point, they don't know the answer.
The cinderblock nightclub sticks out like a sore thumb in the Northwest Jacksonville neighborhood. It's clearly not desirable to have next door, residents say.
But no one from the city stopped to notice the club until 45-year-old James Darren Graham, known to the community as Chucky, was killed.
"We don't know why it happened. Another senseless murder," said Danielle Stafford, Graham's sister. "We don't know why it happened. We don't have the answer to that."
There are many unanswered questions hanging in the air. The nightclub is zoned for residential use. Its liquor license is expired and its last business listing is as a barbershop.
Jones, the district representative, held an administrative meeting Tuesday to find out how the club was allowed to operate where it is.
"I don't think anybody dropped the ball. It's just difficult to enforce that unless somebody can notify the (Jacksonville) Sheriff's Office or (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), let them know that they are selling liquor," Jones said.
It seems nearly every neighbor thought Chucky was somehow in charge. But his name is nowhere to be found on any papers for the property.
The city says neighbors never formally complained, but JSO did receive five service calls to the address in the past year.
During Jones' meeting, city zoning could not confirm if the nightclub is properly permitted or not, although it has received code violations.
"I'm sure there are others, and all we can do is encourage people to call and let the system determine if they are operating legally or not," Jones said.
It's apparent somebody cares about the club. After the city slapped the property with a citation, someone came by to pick up the trash, put up the proper display of address and cut back the weeds.
But just because it's cleaned up, Jones wants concerned neighbors to know it doesn't mean the club is in the clear.
"A lot of times they just ignore it and try to make the best of a bad situation, and what we're trying to do is improve the neighborhood by removing those kind of activities from residential communities," Jones said.
For now, the nightclub is closed, but the neighborhood is left looking for closure, still wondering who killed Graham and how it possibly could have been prevented.
Jones is planning on holding a community meeting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Jan. 26 to talk to neighbors about their concerns.
The city urges anyone with any complaints about a business in their neighborhood to call 904-630-CITY.

Am I too young to commit?
And remember to vote in the next round of the Romance Rumble. I'll give you a link to buy tickets to next Friday's screening soon. Looks like you've chosen Sarah Michelle Gellar over Natalie Portman.
I have been with a 30-year-old man for about 1.5 years. It's been long distance the entire time so it's been tough, but we've suffered through it because of the depth of our love. However, we've hit a wall. We know that to stay together, we need to move in together, but that requires one of us making a trans-Atlantic move. So the plan is for me to come to Europe for 3 months, and then him to the states permanently after that.
I have no issue going to Europe, because I want to be with him so bad. My issue with him moving to the States is that is sounds too much like marriage. I can't have anyone moving here without promising them some serious commitment. This scares me, because I'm only 20 and I'm worried that I would be settling down too young and missing out on a plethora of crazy experiences. However, I love him dearly.
And so now we're on a break -- imposed by him -- because of how I feel. The purpose of it is for me to experience things and see how life is without him. But now I just feel depressed.
I love him so much and it's so unfair that to be together we have to make such a big decision. I know for a fact that if I were to stay with him I'd have a happy, fulfilled life. The bigger risk is looking around and figuring out what's out there. Some small voice inside of me is telling me that what's out there is awful, but it still has not killed my curiosity.
I'm plagued by this 20-year-old "I don't know what I want" mindset. Although I'm a firm believer in holding onto love whenever you find it, I'm worried that all the people who tell me never to settle down young are right.
However, before you comment I urge you to remember that stats show that going along until your 30s to find someone to settle down with actually makes things harder on yourself as far as love. Studies have proven that the dating game tends to give you psychological scars that you could have prevented by settling down younger. Moreover, studies show that by committing your 20s to being carefree and "finding yourself" actually decreases your chances of finding a long, lasting and healthy relationship, considering the lasting effects of having a "me" disposition for so long. Also, who wants to be old with kids? Furthermore, who wants to be without someone who will love and support you?
I'm at a point where I'm worried that I'm making the biggest mistake of my life by taking a break and walking out of my relationship. I don't know what it means to define myself without him anymore.
– Advice?, Chicago
That second to last paragraph was awesome. Unparalleled awesome. It was you making a massive case (citing studies!) to convince us that your relationship is worth preserving.
If that's how you feel, preserve it. I'm not going to tell you that there's nothing else out there or that settling down at 20 is always a fantastic idea, but I will tell you that if you're excited about the person you're with, you should pursue your relationship with high hopes. What else can you do?
His moving here doesn't have to mean that you're on the cusp of marriage. Yes, he'll be making a big move for love, but after a few months in Europe, you both might feel better about what comes next. And if he does move here, he doesn't have to live with you. He can get his own place nearby.
All you can promise him right now is that you have the best of intentions. That's all he can promise you. You don't know what it'll be like to live in the same city. You either want to find out or you don't.
Forget the studies, stop trying to force yourself to be single, and go to Europe to see how you feel. If you're still as into this guy after the trip, work with him to develop a realistic, less-scary plan for his move.
Readers? Does his moving to the US have to mean marriage? Should she end this break or give herself more time to be single? Is she right about the studies and the dating scars? What do you think she wants to/should do? Help.

POLICE believe the suspected murder of a woman in her 40s in Hanbury, near Droitwich, yesterday was an isolated incident and detectives are not seeking anyone else.
Paramedics and police officers were called at 4.35pm yesterday to a house in School Road to a report of a woman in her 40s with serious stab wounds. Despite the efforts of paramedics, she was declared dead at the scene.
A man in his 20s was arrested nearby shortly after on suspicion of murder and he remains in custody at Worcester Police Station.
Superintendent Mark Travis, police commander for south Worcestershire, said: "Following this tragic incident, we continue our investigations in and around the house in School Road, including searches and forensic examinations.
"I would like to reassure the local community that we believe this to be an isolated incident and no-one else is being sought in relation to our investigation."
The coroner for Worcestershire has been informed.

Blue Jays' hurlers can't contain Red Sox in blowout
Feeling good after series win, Toronto runs into buzzsaw against rival
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays arrived at the ballpark Monday riding the high of a weekend series victory over the Rangers. All it took was a few innings for that good feeling to completely erode.
Taking two out of three from Texas might seem rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it was an important step for an organization that limped into the All-Star break. A strong start to the second half was desperately needed and beating the Rangers was the first step.
The second step would be another series win over Boston, but that goal became a lot more daunting Monday night. Drew Hutchison and Brad Mills combined to allow 14 runs over 4 2/3 innings in a 14-1 blowout loss to the Red Sox in front of 27,905 fans at Rogers Centre.
"I made a few mistakes that got hit like they should and a couple of other pitches got hit," Hutchison said after the shortest non-injury start of his career. "Just one of those things, it was a bad night, I put us in a terrible position and didn't really give us a chance to win, and in the process made it real tough on our bullpen."
Hutchison's night began with a three-up, three-down first, but it was all downhill from there. In the second, he allowed a pair of RBI singles to Stephen Drew and Christian Vazquez which put Boston up, 2-0. The issues resurfaced in the third and all of the runs came with two outs.
The big blow came off the bat of Drew, who hit a three-run homer on a first-pitch changeup for his third long ball of the season. Two batters later, Jackie Bradley Jr. chased Hutchison with an RBI double to right. Hutchison surrendered five consecutive hits with two outs in the third after allowing four hits in the second.
The disappointing outing likely will renew talk about whether Hutchison is hitting a wall after missing all of last season because of Tommy John surgery. He has allowed 16 runs in 20 2/3 innings this month, while his season ERA at home sits at 7.71.
"That's a mystery," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons admitted of the home splits. "He had a good one a couple of starts ago when he was here, other than that it has been a tough go for him at home.
"He has a good lively fastball that he can throw by guys, but you still have to keep it in the zone consistently, down in the zone and he has to hit on that breaking ball. But, no, I don't think it's far enough along where you have to worry about fatigue setting in. I don't think that's the case."
Even after Hutchison left, there wasn't any relief to be found as Mills entered from the bullpen. The journeyman lefty served up a two-run homer to David Ortiz in the fourth, then allowed the first three batters he faced in the fifth to reach base. He was pulled after Ortiz and Mike Napoli hit back-to-back homers, which marked the third time Boston did that this season.
Mills was charged with eight runs on seven hits and one walk over two innings. He was making his first appearance in a Blue Jays uniform this season after being claimed off waivers from Oakland last week. The move could prove costly as it also meant right-hander Chad Jenkins had to be optioned to the Minors and he cannot be recalled for 10 days unless there's an injury.
The 14 runs were the second-most Toronto's pitching staff has surrendered this season. It fell just short of the 15 runs Cleveland scored May 14 at Rogers Centre. Before Monday, Toronto pitchers had allowed six home runs over their previous 130 1/3 innings, which was the fewest allowed by any Major League club in July.
"We're getting a good offensive approach over the last 10 games or so," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "There's been good energy throughout and when David is doing what he's capable of, it's the hub of what our offense is."
With the commanding lead, Boston's John Lackey was able to cruise. He allowed one run in the third on an RBI double by Juan Francisco, but that was it as Lackey earned his 11th victory with seven strong innings.
"They're never easy, but you have to let them go," Gibbons said. "Lopsided, move on, the best thing about it is that it's over with. Show up tomorrow and have to get a good outing out of [J.A.] Happ. That's where it starts."

Timeless Charm
Mallorca proves an enchanting hideaway during a windy week aboard CD Two in Spain's Balearic Isles.
Story & Photos by Kim Kavin
It's hard to fall in love when time is against you. Ask a boater given just a day to explore a place he'd rather settle into for an entire summer, a gastronome rushed through a meal, or a would-be mother pushing 45. All will tell you that with just a little more time, they might have found whatever it was that stirred their passion before they were forced to leave their slip, their table, or their youth behind.
That many of us allow such a merciless pace to tear apart our daily lives is unfortunate, but that some of us let it dominate our vacations is unforgivable. How in the world can we fall in love with the world if our itineraries are a mad dash to cruise as far and as fast as we can?
I came to this realization by force (nearly gale force, actually) during a four-day charter aboard the 140-foot CD Two in Spain's Balearic Isles. The plan had been to spend a night in Mallorca's bustling city of Palma, then a night at the clubs on Ibiza, and a day hiking the pristine countryside on Menorca. Instead, with wind frothing the Western Mediterranean into an impassable sea, we made it only a few miles from Palma to Puerto Portals, just up Mallorca's coast. And there we stayed, quite comfortably, at the shelter of the dock.
CD Two is coming fully into her own 15 years after her keel was laid. Something went wrong with the original owner's funds after construction began in 1988, and she finally launched in 1995, as the 125-foot Independent of London. A 15-foot garage was added a year later, and she began life with an owner who saw maintenance as optional. When the current owner bought the yacht in 2002, her exterior needed paint, her saloon sole was covered in dog paw scratches, and her interior screamed pink and turquoise. "It was so '80's, but it looked '60's," laments Capt. Peter Leeming. "It was dreadful."

Richard Louv and the North FaceApril 18, 2012 • 21 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Promotions
We are celebrating Earth Week by kicking off our first post by Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle, in a month long series. For the next four weeks, Richard will write a post each Wednesday and, each week, one lucky reader will win a $150 gift certificate to the North Face. Read Louv's piece on "21 Ways to Start Creating a Restorative Neighborhood or City" today and leave a comment to be entered in the gift certificate drawing!
Applying the Nature Principle:
21 Ways to Start Creating a Restorative Neighborhood or City
As of 2008, more than half of the world's population lived in cities. That's a huge moment in human history. By 2030, that proportion will likely jump to two-thirds. This transformation will produce one of two outcomes: the end of meaningful daily experience in nature, or the beginning of a new kind of city. Here are some ideas, adapted from The Nature Principle, that I believe can help us understand what it means to create and live in a restorative city, beginning with your neighborhood. Right now.
- Reimagine your city as an engine of biodiversity and human health.
- Restore nearby nature and create new habitat; rebuild local food webs; and encourage urban wildlife.
- Recognize and increase human-nature social capital, thereby creating healthier habitat for humans and other animals.
- Plant native species in your yard; create butterfly zones in your neighborhood; help build a Homegrown National Park.
- Create a De-central Park in every city. Button Parks, too.
- Establish new human-nature networks, including family nature clubs and green gyms.
- Connect the region with wildlife and humanlife corridors.
- Establish restorative transportation systems, including naturalized bike and pedestrian paths; quieter, more efficient public transit; and shade parking areas with green roofs and/or solar panels.
- Challenge neighborhood CC&Rs and other barriers of law, regulation, and rules.
- Adopt development policies favorable to green roofs, green walls, etc.
- Replace decaying shopping malls with urban ecovillages and natural park space.
- Create or retrofit homes as restorative habitats for humans and other species.
- Design and retrofit schools and libraries with biophilic design; and green every schoolyard.
- Apply biophilic design to new housing and commercial developments.
- Weave nature into communities for older people, including assisted living homes.
- Create restorative workplaces that produce human energy.
- Encourage urban and suburban agriculture, from community gardens to vertical farms.
- Recognize and celebrate your urban bioregion's natural identity.
- Establish a regional scorecard that includes the economic benefits of truly greening your city.
- Support a regional children and nature campaign; and help build the New Nature Movement.
- Focus your city's future envisioning process through the prism of nature: consider how planting the restorative city could reshape healthcare, education, law enforcement, redevelopment, tourism, and other businesses.

It would be wonderful to make everyone aware of the positive effects to green living. Public transportation is a wonderful alternative to driving anyday. And if possible walking and/or biking, besides polluting less air, having a healthier body is an added bonus.
5:19 pm
Amanda says...
I love #8 and #13. OOoo and number #11. Now we just need to get everyone on board. I am still shocked when I see people who don't recycle.
5:57 pm
Mary Reynolds says...
Here in Tucson, our neighborhood encourages xeriscaping to save water and provide Sonoran Desert habitat for native creatures including hummingbirds, javelina, rabbits, and Harris Hawks. All within the city limits! #18!
7:34 pm
Annie Scavone says...
#1 really emphasizes all of the other points! It's a great jumping off point for all the other ideas!
7:59 pm
millie says...
All great suggestions and we all need to incorporate them. I am partial to number fifteen, especially.
8:12 pm
Kyle says...
but for real though, nature rules! All we need is a central park in every city. I mean let's face it, that's the best part of NYC!
11:32 pm
Spencer says...
The goal of making a more restorative, less damaging city is absolutely necessary in order to protect Earth and humanity with it, but I think the real question these days is not WHAT we can do to improve society; but rather, HOW we can convince people to make the changes. Without incentivizing and working these principles into the various political fields, there will always be a rift between progress and good intentions.

Kristen M. says...
I love the idea of a Homegrown National Park. I'm lucky to live in a rural suburb of Seattle where we still have wildlife corridors and a lot of native vegetation. Yet there are people moving to the area and immediately taking down a majority of the trees on their property and tearing out brush and replacing it with wood chips. It's a shame to see this — and to see animals like coyotes walking around in the middle of the day, looking for food. I certainly need to make more of an effort to make my property that much more inviting to wildlife!
3:39 am
Gerry says...
Great ideas! #11 and #15 would be wonderful changes to see.
11:23 am
Tallulah Scribbles says...
I like the idea: Design and retrofit schools and libraries with biophilic design; and green every schoolyard. My county is in the planning stages of building two new libraries and renovating three others. I need to investigate more and get involved.
11:33 pm
Louise says...
Long-term planning is the key… We have to be pro-active with respect to managing, building, protecting, and coordinating. It all begins with a feeling of personal responsibility for our surroundings, which includes other people.
8:46 am
Carson says...
Go green! I especially like numbers 13 and 14!
9:35 am
Jeanne says...
Wonderful ideas. I am starting a bee hive this year in the side yard and I'm thinking about a vertical garden of succulents for the front entry.

As a teacher in an urban school, I appreciate all these ideas! All kids need access to nature!
7:25 am
Janice Friedman says...
I'm encouraged, as a nature photographer traveling around the U.S., to find increasing numbers of places to shoot beautiful and natural scenes within city limits everywhere I go. It is clear that there is a great desire for and love of natural elements in both indoor and outdoor design in the 21st century. About time!

So glad the movement to get back to nature is again in motion. Our nature center is dedicated to helping folks make that connection. Thanks for all you do to spread the word!

These are really great suggestions. As a father of a 4 year old and a 2 year old, I really need to be applying the lessons of Louv's books before my kids area all grown up.

This is very insightful, and shows the importance of planning for the future, and for others that will follow.

I love the book! How insightful and it rellay hits home. Every chapter has pieces of gems that resonate with me and situations I have experienced or am going through now. Great advice and wisdom is packed in this book for all to enjoy!

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

The player's representative has dismissed reports linking him with the Nerazzurri, and says contract talks are underway with his current club
The 19-year-old had been heavily linked with the Italian giants in various media outlets, prompting the player's representative, Rinaldo Sagramola, to deny the rumours.
"There is no story," the Argentina Under-20 international's spokesman told Radio Kiss Kiss. "In fact, we are working for a [contract] renewal with Sampdoria.
"We have expressed no interest in a move to Inter, or Napoli for that matter.
"It is useless for Mauro to join a club that may offer him more money, but that stunts his growth as a footballer."
Icardi is currently Sampdoria's top scorer in Serie A, having scored eight goals this season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With so many people coming down with the flu, more people are becoming aware of the argument for sick pay.
Flu season appears to be getting worse across the nation. Right now 47 out of 50 states are reporting widespread cases of the flu.
The Florida Department of Health reports that influenza is elevated in all regions of Florida.
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 45 Florida counties reported an increase in flu infection for the week that ended Jan. 12.
That's the most recent week for which numbers are available.
An unusually early and vigorous flu season is drawing attention to another issue -- sick leave. More than 40 million people don't have it, bringing more people into the sick leave debate.
Only four cities or states nationwide have paid sick day requirements.
With a brutal flu season and pollen blooming, the coughing, sneezing and itchy eye symptoms are all around, leaving many people unable to make it into work.
It's very likely that at least one person in workplaces around the nation has come down with the flu, possibly passing it along to coworkers.
Many probably wished the original person with the flu didn't come to work feeling ill.
These sentiments are sparking conversations about paid sick leave.
"In Florida and in the overwhelming part of the nation, there's no right to paid sick leave," labor and employment attorney Bob Riegel said. "You can use sick leave that's provided by the employer if there is paid sick leave. You can use paid vacation in some situations."
Paid sick day requirements only exist in San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C. and Connecticut.
For other states, the number of paid sick days an employee gets is totally up to the employer.
The conversation is ongoing in New York City where doctors, nurses and activists rallied Friday at City Hall. Lawmakers there are weighing a sick leave proposal.
A study done in 2011 by the American Journal of Public Health found a lack of sick time helped spread about 5 million cases of flu-like illness during the 2009 swine flu outbreak.
That's because employees without sick days are more likely to go to work with contagious symptoms.
Riegel said required paid sick leave would put small to medium size businesses under water.
If someone is sick and feels they must be at work, they should talk about exceptions with their boss.
"Is there an arrangement where you can come in and work and be isolated in a cubicle or an office," Riegel said. "Or something where even if you may be contagious, you can get your work done and not expose the whole group."
In Florida, there is the family medical leave act that makes sure an employee is covered with unpaid sick time.
It is aimed at protecting someone if they have to be out for a long time. They won't get paid, but the employer can't fire the employee or eliminate their job.

Battery Life
Microsoft says the Surface 2 will run more than 10 hours between charges. I haven't tested this scientifically, but that's mostly because the device hasn't given me a reason to doubt its creator's claims. The Surface 2 makes it through a full work day without a problem.
SkyDrive has always been a useful cloud storage option, but Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 take it a step further by integrating the service directly into the file structure, just like your Documents folder and Downloads folder. This makes SkyDrive easier and more convenient to use for 8.1 users in general, but the Surface 2 offers the added perk of 200 GB of free storage for two years. Other users get only 7 GB before they have to pay for more SkyDrive space.
Type Cover 2
Microsoft's keyboard accessory adds almost no bulk to the Surface 2 but is just sturdy enough to facilitate reasonable productivity. The new model's backlit keys are a nice touch.
App Snapping
Microsoft's original implementation of Modern UI multitasking was awkward because the apps could be viewed only in a specific ratio; one took up three-quarters of the screen, and the other took up the rest. In 8.1, users have more control over how much screen real estate snapped apps occupy, making it easy to, say, copy text from IE 11 and quickly paste it into OneNote.
The preceding list seems great -- so why am I not advocating the Surface 2 more aggressively? Simple: The Surface 2 is a good device, but for many needs, it's too compromised to be a great device, though it's priced like one.
If you're interested in a best-in-class tablet experience, for example, you'll probably be happier with an iPad. The number of Windows Store apps has slowly risen over the last year, with essential titles such as Facebook, Twitter, and Netflix now available. Windows 8.1 also makes it easier than ever to find titles. But iOS still dominates in both depth and breadth of apps.
By virtue of having so much laptop DNA, the Surface 2 also isn't an optimal form factor for a tablet, which is typically held in the user's hands. The device is light but not as light as the iPad Air. The 16:10 aspect ratio of the Surface 2's screen also makes it somewhat unwieldy when held in portrait orientation. With a slightly boxier display, iPads are easier to rotate and maneuver.
As a touch-first tablet OS, Windows RT 8.1 is enjoyable -- but despite its lack of true multitasking, iOS is still more polished and responsive. That said, I've found Windows RT 8.1 easier to use and more fun than Android, though most Android tablets have the advantage of being cheaper than any Surface or iPad currently on the market.
Plus, as capable as the Surface 2's processor is, it's not necessarily better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips found in newer Android models and competing Windows devices. I've found the Surface 2 buzzes along if you keep things light, but as soon as you move into moderately heavy tasks, like having a couple dozen IE 11 tabs open at once, the device gets overwhelmed and freezes up. The new iPads' 64-bit A7 processor, in contrast, is in a class of its own.

New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) The Indian cricket board's self-exiled president N. Srinivasan attended the disciplinary committee meeting here Friday that is to decide the fate of the Rajasthan Royals' players caught in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing scandal.
However, it is not clear in what capacity Srinivasan was attending the meet despite filing an affidavit in the Bombay High Court July 4 that he would return to the board chief's post only after the allegations of corruption during the IPL are fairly resolved.
When the spot fixing scandal broke out, Srinivasan stepped aside as the BCCI chief after his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested by Mumbai police allegedly for betting in the IPL.
The fate of Rajasthan Royals' players S. Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan, who have been charge sheeted by Delhi Police in the scandal, is being discussed at the disciplinary panel meeting at a hotel here, following the report submitted by Anti-Corruption Unit chief Ravi Sawani to its working committee last month in Kolkata.
Sawani, a former chief of the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption unit, was asked to investigate the alleged involvement of the three players in conceding a pre-determined number of runs per over in exchange for money during the IPL.
Sawani's report is being scrutinised by BCCI vice-presidents Arun Jaitley and Niranjan Shah before a verdict is pronounced. The players may face life bans.
Sreesanth and Chavan arrived for the meeting in the morning. Harmeet Singh and Siddharth Trivedi, who failed to report that they were approached by bookies, were also questioned by the panel.

Dinner Recipe: Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère
It's spring, so I am looking for fresher, lighter dinners — but it's rainy, so I'm not entirely done with my oven just yet. Here's a warm, incredibly tasty dinner dish that suits spring perfectly. Take a mess of caramelized onions, soupy and rich, and add a touch of mustard and some chicken thighs. Braise in the oven, then broil with a handful of Gruyère cheese. It's rich without being heavy, and deeply flavorful without too much work. I'm having this for dinner tonight — care to join me?
But first, before I go any further, I should give credit where credit is due. I've mentioned in the past that I often get recipe inspiration from restaurant menus, and that's what happened here. I noticed a French onion chicken on the menu at Sweetwater Grill, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and I was instantly inspired. I didn't ask for the recipe, though, and in fact I didn't even order the dish. But the idea lodged in the back of my mind, and I returned to it this week.
There are four basic steps in this recipe: Caramelize the onions, then deglaze the pan with a bit of broth. Next, brown the chicken thighs and deglaze that pan as well, with a little more broth. Combine the onions and the chicken, with their respective sauces, and bake in a slow oven for half an hour. Then take off the lid, and broil with Gruyère. Eat with some good bread and a salad!
The chicken turns out succulent and tender, and it's nestled into a bed of rich, aromatic onions, spiked with tangy mustard. There is more than enough sauce to smother the chicken, and you could even eat it separately as a very rich soup.
This is such an easy dish. It takes some time to put together, though — primarily because of caramelizing the onions. Caramelizing onions, however, is a great do-ahead step. You could caramelize the onions on a Sunday night, or even prep the entire dish — then bake after you get home from work.
It pretty much goes without saying that this dish makes fantastic lunch leftovers, too. It would also freeze magnificently.
One last note: this recipe is a good example of how dirtying three pans (and consequently, needing to do more dishes later) can save you time. If you have more time to kill while making this recipe, you can condense everything into one big Dutch oven. But it will take longer; you would brown the chicken first, take it out, then make the sauce and pour it off, then caramelize the onions and their sauce — and finally layer everything back into the Dutch oven. If you don't want to wash three pans, then try this method! Using three pans just makes the process quicker.
Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds onions, sliced into thin half-moons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 small sprigs thyme, leaves only
4-inch sprig rosemary
2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, finely grated or shaved (about 1 cup)
Melt the butter in a deep 10-inch sauté pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted completely and foams up, add the onions. They will fill the pan to the top, at this point. Stir as you add the onions to coat them in the butter. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. Cook the onions for about 40 minutes over low or medium heat, stirring occasionally.
When the onions have developed an evenly light beige color throughout, add the garlic, thyme leaves, and whole rosemary sprig, and cook for a few minutes more, stirring frequently. Turn the heat up to high and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently. You want dark, slightly burnt spots to appear on the onions, and for them to develop a rich mahogany color. When the onions get quite dark, add 1 cup of the beef or chicken broth. Add it slowly, stirring and scraping the pan vigorously to scrape up any burnt or stuck-on bits. When the liquid has been added, bring it back up to a simmer and simmer lightly for 5 minutes, or until it is somewhat reduced.
Take the onions off the heat and pour them into a 3-quart oven-safe dish with a lid. (If you don't have a Dutch oven or another oven-safe dish with a lid, you can use a 9x13-inch baking dish. Just cover it tightly with a double layer of foil.)
Heat the oven to 325°F.
While the onions are cooking, brown the chicken. Heat another 10-inch or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper. When the skillet is hot, add the thighs and brown for about 3 minutes on each side, 6 minutes total. When they've developed a golden-brown crust, remove from the pan and set on top of the caramelized onions in the baking dish.
Add the remaining 1 cup broth to the pan. Stir vigorously, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until reduced by half. Pour this sauce over the chicken and onions, and put the lid on the baking dish. The chicken and onions will look quite saucy; there will be plenty of liquid in the baking dish.
(At this point you can refrigerate the dish for up to 48 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before baking, or else add about 5 minutes to the bake time.)
Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and turn the heat up to broil. Take the lid off the baking dish, and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the chicken. When the broiler has heated up, return the dish to the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden on top.
Serve promptly in shallow bowls, with plenty of good bread to sop up the sauce, and a green salad on the side.

City of Eureka officials: West Avenue to be safer by the end of summer
EUREKA- City officials expect West Avenue to be safer by the end of the summer, after a bid was awarded at last night's Eureka City Council meeting.
In 2010, experts with U.C. Berkeley's Transportation Technology Department made 10 recommendations for a safer West Avenue, between Myrtle Avenue and 6th Street. Now, in part thanks to a federal grant, the City of Eureka will begin to implement those recommendations this spring. The stretch of road will be re-paved, and improvements will be made for disabled access.
Also, the intersection of Tydd Street and West Avenue will be improved with an enhanced cross walk with pedestrian activated flashing beacons, increased street lighting, and the addition of a pedestrian island.
"Certainly it's going to improve, especially older, but I think anybody's ability to cross the intersection safely and be seen by the motorists, and also the motorists should be slowing down," said Michael Knight, the Interim City Manager.

Possum Kingdom Fishery Bounces Back
ATHENS—Possum Kingdom Reservoir appears to have largely recovered from the effects of an outbreak of golden alga that struck the lake in spring 2010, according to the latest fish surveys conducted by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) fisheries biologists.
"Largemouth bass came through the golden alga outbreak fairly well," said biologist Robert Mauk. "The largemouth bass electrofishing catch rate was 53.5 fish per hour, which is slightly up from 49.0 per hour in the 2008 survey. Most bass were below the 16-inch legal size limit and were found throughout the reservoir. Stocking has not occurred since 2005, so the smaller bass were all naturally produced despite the occasional golden alga problems."
The majority of the legal bass, including four over 20 inches, were found on the main lake from Caddo Creek to the dam.
Mauk said there is an abundance of prey species in the reservoir, and the predator species such as largemouth bass appear to be taking advantage of it. "All bass were extremely fat, probably from feeding on the abundant gizzard shad population," Mauk said. "The gizzard shad catch rate of 306.5 per hour was above the historical average of 287.9 per hour, and most shad were four to five inches in length. Bluegill numbers were down compared to recent surveys while all other species of sunfish catch rates greatly increased."
The news for crappie anglers was good as well. Trap nets are used to survey crappie populations. "Possum Kingdom had the second-highest catch rate of white crappie at 5.7 fish per net and the highest catch rate for black crappie 0.6 at fish per net ever documented at the reservoir," Mauk said. "Both catch rates are well above the historical averages. The populations had a good mix of all sizes from three to 12 inches, and body condition was considered excellent, especially for those over 10 inches."
The majority of legal-sized crappie were caught in the upper reservoir near Rock Creek, mid-lake in Bee Creek and at the entrance to Bluff Creek.
Survey results on catfish were mixed, but Mauk says there are plenty of fish available. "Blue catfish abundance was slightly down from the previous survey but consisted of more legal-sized fish than in 2009," he said. "The channel catfish catch rate was also lower than the 2009 survey. This year was the first time since 2001 that flathead catfish were sampled. The catch rates for all three catfish species was above the reservoir's historical averages."
Some catfish over 25 inches were captured in Caddo Creek and around Costello Island in about 30 feet of water. The Brazos River-Rock Creek area also had nice catfish.
"The bad news of the gill-netting survey was the low numbers of striped bass sampled," Mauk said. "Their catch rate was the lowest we have seen. Apparently, last year's golden alga kill negatively impacted the striped bass population more than other surveyed species. A majority of those sampled were seven to 11 inches in length, so they were most likely stocked in 2010. We did sample two 26-inch fish, so there are big ones available. We also sampled hybrid striped bass in the reservoir which likely came from Lake Graham when it went over the spillway."
White bass numbers were down from the 2009 survey but were higher than they were in 2007. "Numbers are good, and anglers should enjoy catching them," Mauk said. "We found them throughout the reservoir before they started their spring spawning run."
TPWD Inland Fisheries management crews sample reservoirs regularly to help biologists make management and stocking decisions. Electrofishing and trap net surveys are conducted in fall, and gill netting surveys are done in January on Possum Kingdom. Electrofishing surveys examine populations of largemouth bass and prey species such as sunfish and shad. Trap net surveys look at the black and white crappie populations. Gill net surveys monitor the catfish, white and striped bass populations.
