Top US executive, Voldemort Bush and his side kick, the half-blood Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster have opened an up market store in WMD for evil scheming politicians of the underworld who are seeking to overturn the non-magical world of the Muggles or normal ordinary people. The flagship store, Hogwarts will offer the discerning western politician intent on using the terrible elements of the dark arts unlimited choice in weapons of WMDss (World Madness Domination sickness syndrome).
Draco Malfoy, marketing executive specialising in deaths, fear and mistrust announced today at the press release, "Normally, politicians have struggled to convince or muggle normal people into believing their evil despicable malicious lies and deception." He added with a satanic grin "Now, at last they will have unlimited access to evil curses, mind bending potions and spells as well Blaster broom sticks that can be deployed against any peace loving nation in the world without any risk of injury or death to themselves."
Voldemort Bush had been nearly fatally damaged by an evil spell that backfired as he mispronounced a critical top secret 'Iraqistani' phrase causing him to be just a moronic empty shadow in the darkness of the underworld until he was made powerful again at the G8 Gleneagles satanic verses recital conference. Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster donated half his poisoned blood to Voldemort whilst other world leading satanic followers chanted curses incessantly for 5 days as the evil ritual was brought to a demonic conclusion. The sickening process included the sacrifice of many innocent Muggle chickens and other animals both in the conference land and in nations around the globe whilst leaving the half-blood Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster with a white and pasty expression as well as zombie eyes and reactions.
Harry Potter an insider from Hogwarts may well have been trying to avert the outside world but not everybody thought that Harry was telling the truth in the last few stories, in addition as a small boy prone to disappearing from the real world for long periods, his credibility has been failing for a long time even as he strove to escape from virtual reality to avert at the last minute of any potential tragedy. His escape from the G8 Gleneagles satanic verses recital conference stranglehold was blocked by over 12,000 underworld zombies dressed in black surrounding the conference hotel whilst the skies were controlled by vast mechanical flying birds spiting fire and sulphurous acidic gases. Desperate Potter supporting anarchists tried again and again to rush the Hotel in a vain attempt to release Harry and the truth of the half-blood Prince but unfortunately, armed with only sticks and stones they were repeated subjected to viciously evil truncheon curses and Blaster blows to their bodies. Overwhelmed, most were arrested only to finish in the terrible tortures cells of Uzbekistan where their souls are excruciatingly extracted by the Putinaski guards, the most feared vile grotesque creatures of the satanic western underworld.
Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster had been specially infected over a number of years with evil mind bending bacteria during visits to the different lands of the AUSA (Areas of Ultra Satanic Arenas) as a contingency plan in case Voldemort's unbelievably evil insidious 'Iraqistani' curse backfired -as indeed it did, thus using his decomposing body as a storage vessel for the blood poisoning fermentation. As a prize for his unquestioning dedicated support to Voldemort's distorted perverted intentions, Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster has been awarded the European Presidency of the Ministry of Magic where he is expected to try further to convert the Muggles world of perception of normality whilst further perpetrating his true cause of lies, deception and the elimination of all those that defy him and the Voldemort curse of evil.
Tragically, only Harry Potter can undo the despicably evil blood transfusion curse between half-blood Prince Dumbledore Blair-Blaster and Voldemort Bush -yet after the finish of the G8 Gleneagles satanic verses recital conference, the greatest bastion ever of truth and reality is nowhere to be seen or found. Hopefully, he is still in hiding somewhere safe with his broomstick until the next chapters of doom start to roll off the printing presses ready to sweep up this evil before it all goes horribly wrong again.

Nothing good will come of it. Please stop now for you own sake.
I think too that sometimes that sentiment comes from the desire to just be loved and really appreciated by someone. A betrayal causes one to feel that the WS just didn't see (or maybe forgot?) your beauty and value as a person so you automatically wonder if maybe someone else could get to know you and fall deeply in love with you which is unlike the behavior your spouse displayed. The desire to experience that is normal because you desperately need that after infidelity.
Also since the WS took license to look at other options sometimes the BS feels that they have the same right especially if you're considering D. It's a natural curiosity to look at options that would be possibilities for you.
Of course it could also just be a deep need to retaliate. Your spouse would know the pain you're going through and it would be a great revenge to soothe your anger. The problem is, wrong is always wrong and there are always consequences so while I understand the temptation to look, don't act! Your marriage would likely not be able to sustain a 2nd lethal blow. Since you're in R, put your efforts there instead.
Are you all IC? MC? Porn is very harmful to the marriage. I think many would consider it being unfaithful. I would let my BS know I was very upset about his choice to look at porn!
Best wishes in your R. It's a hard road but I keep hearing it's worth it.
It makes me feel like he takes me for granted
No, it just means that he trusts you unconditionally. I think most of us BS's had this level of trust until we were betrayed. It's a very special thing.

It's how you handle the attraction. Don't lean into it. Keep talking with your H and keep yourself away from guys in general right now.
It's tough when your world has been shaken to not find solace in places you wouldn't normally go to. Stay strong and don't devalue yourself.
I don't remember if you are, but if you are not in IC I would be finding one, it will help.
And is your WS not concerned because he trusts you? Or not concerned because he doesn't care? Are you trying to make him jealous? Don't, It will backfire, IMO.
Be true to you and find your healing within yourself, not others.

But we know how you feel. To this day I still get that feeling cause she is still not 100% committed. :(
Hang tight.
discovered 4 month long EA
R - slow and steady but very optimistic
My wife does not understand this really...has asked me to stop doing this. I am understanding it makes her feel bad...and hate that. So I have toned down the amount of time I visit with her on these feelings. I have increased the amount of times I visit with my real life male friend on this...
My concern is that if I dont acknowledge these feelings they could grow and influence me. I like to think I am stronger then my feelings...like you, I think I would NEVER act on them....but the truth is my wife sooo felt this way before her affair too!
I think you are normal. I think you are doing the right thing by voicing this to your husband. I think your continued trust in your husband is admirable....while no one likes to be taken for granted, there is a component of comfortableness that is born within trust in a healthy marriage. Afterall, who wants to be in a marriage where you are so afraid to leave the house in the morning to go to work thinking your wife is going to fuck another man while you are away?
Yes, I feel guilty about my feelings too. Truth is I have always found other women attractive....one of my few boundaries in my marriage was to be very cautious and alert to these feelings. Since my wifes A I have been tempted to soften those boundaries...and, occasionally, have. Not to the point of adultery...but at a dangerous-to-me level. To a stronger person looking in on me they would not consider myself on the slippery slope...but I knew I was.
My wife has said "You would never cheat on me"....anymore when I hear the words "never" "always" and "should" a flag is raised and I really question whatever is being discussed. My wife is a good person....she had an affair with a middle-aged married man and father of 5. You are wise to recognize these REAL feelings in you and to examine them fully....it will reduce the odds of you acting on these feelings in the future....especially when your needs and desires are not being met by your husband.
I am sorry you caught him lying. I am sorry that he is using porn. I used porn for decades....never thought it was damaging. Both my brothers use it, my Dad uses it, my wifes Dad used it, society is pretty accepting of it. I see it in a whole new light. If he is interested in breaking his habit, breaking the destructive cycle that porn is I highly recommend "Every Mans Battle" by Steve Arterburn....it changed my life! Literally changed my life.
God be with you.

We need to be loved, accepted, cared for, respected..etc. We feel all that and more has been broken so if you've ever felt an attraction for another person, this would be the time where that can be MORE than ever, but MORE dangerous than ever as well.
any lying on his part would be VERY bad
Yeah it is very bad, but you need consequences in place for his actions. You cant just point your finger and say "BAD WS,BAD" KWIM?
Have your line in the sand and be prepared to back up your threats.
Regarding WH's friend, stay away from him. No conversations, and definitely no flirting. Do everything you can to make him think you aren't attracted to him, so you don't have to ward off anything coming from his side of the equation.
I say this from experience. 15 years ago my H had a friend who I began having a strong attraction to. When I noticed what was happening inside of myself, I didn't tell my H, or the guy. The guy never gave me any indications he was attracted to me, so it was easy for me to just become the person who answered the door, or brought him a glass of water when he came to visit my H. Then I would make myself busy doing something else, and let them visit. I never let on to either of them what my mind, or hormones were trying to do to me. Attraction is going to happen, but it is how you handle it that makes you a faithful spouse or a cheater.
edt bad typing again

Liverpool News: Bargain defender deal, striker close to axe, Sturridge reaction
EXPRESS SPORT brings you the latest news and gossip coming out of Anfield.
Mario Balotelli's days at AC Milan appear to be numbered
Liverpool are reportedly preparing a summer deal for former Arsenal youngster Harvard Nordtveit.
The Reds have been plagued by defensive injuries this term.
Though they brought in Steven Caulker on loan in the January transfer window, Jurgen Klopp, the Sunday People claim, wants to sign 25-year-old Nordveit at the end of the season.
Scouts are believed to have been impressed with Nordtveit, who is out of contract in the summer.
Mario Balotelli is set to have his loan spell at AC Milan terminated, according to reports.
Balotelli was loaned out to the Italian outfits after failing to hit the mark at Anfield.
Injuries have restricted his appearances at the San Siro, but The Sun claim Balotelli could be banished from the squad after a row with head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Daniel Sturridge was on the scoresheet against Aston Villa
Klopp praised Daniel Sturridge after he scored on his return to Premier League action.
Sturridge set the Reds on their way to a 6-0 victory with the opening goal, which in turn delighted his manager.
"It makes a difference having both Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge are on the pitch, you can only play them when they are fit and available. We want the highest quality on the pitch as much as possible, you saw that today," Klopp told Sky Sports.
"We are always clear. When you are injured and out, you need time and when you are back, you are back. It is a situation where you want to play football, it is good Sturridge can do this now."

Note that if this article isn't expanded upon, it will be turned into a disambig. If there isn't enought to disambig it, it may be deleted. Its rather kinda sparse, and doesn't really explain platinum from an inuniverse perspective very well.Baggins (talk) 04:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- A disambig if anything. I'm not sure I could even call this article a substub.
- We really don't need to be creating articles on every other word in the source books. --k_d3 06:26, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Coinage Edit
The "black coin-trading market" sounds like selling in-game gold for real life money. Furthermore there are no facts that it would be platinum after gold. User:Gourra/Sig2 10:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
It is selling IG gold for RL money. If platinum comes above gold in value rank in RL, it would make a lot of sense for the same to happen in-game. If not platinum, what comes right above gold here? --ENG (talk) 10:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records
of Many of the Representative Citizens
JAMES G. WOOD. One of the worthy citizens of Greene county, who has lived to see and take part in its development during the past sixty-two years, is James G. Wood, for a long lapse of years one of our leading agriculturists and stock raisers, now living in retirement enjoying the fruits of his former industry, and although he is past eighty-two years of age, he is in possession of all his faculties and enjoys life to the fullest extent as a result, no doubt, of wholesome living and thinking. He came here from the sunny South in the antebellum days, when this city was an insignificant village and when the county was sparsely settled and practically a wilderness or a wild prairie. His long life of usefulness and honor has won for him the sincere affection of all who have known hint. His early industry has resulted in his possession of a neat competence, and while he still enjoys the glow of the golden rays of the sun of life that must eventually set behind the horizon of the inevitable, he shares that enjoyment with no stint in the companionship of the members of his family and his wide circle of friends, won through his continued residence here of over six decades.
Mr. Wood was born in Huntsville, Alabama, February 24, 1832. He is a son of John and Elizabeth (Morris) Wood. John Wood was born in England in 1805 and there grew to manhood and was educated, and there he married Elizabeth Morris, a daughter of James Morris, and she was born in England in 1804, and died in 1866. To John Wood and wife thirteen children were born, namely: Hannah, who was born in England, married John Williams, of Tennessee, and after his death in 1850, she married a Mr. Farrier, in 1854, he being a hatter; her son, John W. Williams, became a leading hardware merchant in Springfield, Missouri, and with him she spent the latter part of her life. James G. Wood, subject of this sketch, was the next child; John M. Martha E., who married J. M. Powell, also became a resident of Springfield. The other children all died in infancy. After the death of the mother of these children, John Wood married Mrs. M. E. Weaver, widow of Joseph Weaver, and prior to her marriage to this gentleman the widow of a Mr. Shackelford. She spent the latter part of her life in Springfield. John Wood emigrated with his wife and child to the United States when a young man, and was later followed by two brothers and one sister, James, Samuel and Ann. He located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he followed the trade of a cotton spinner, which he had learned in the old country, and eventually became an expert in that line of work. Mr. Wood moved to Huntsville, Alabama, where he erected a power loom for the manufacture of cotton goods, which was the first built in that state. From there he made many trips to Philadelphia for the purpose of purchasing machinery for his looms and at one time made the long journey on horse back. He was a man of exceptional physical endurance, robust and courageous. In 1834 he removed to Rockford, Illinois, being the third settler there, and there endured the many hardships incident to life on the frontier. He made numerous trips to Chicago, then a mere village. He became the owner of a ferry boat at Rockford, which was one of the very first to cross the Rock river at that point, and there he maintained a shop in which he did all kind of engineering work. He removed to Franklin, Tennessee, where he built the first power loom ever used in that state. He then engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods and in his establishment was manufactured the canvas that covered the wagons of many of the early emigrants who left that country to come to Greene county, Missouri, prominent among them being the Rountrees. In 1836 he located in Lawrence county, Tennessee, where he built a cotton mill and engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods for about sixteen years, and during that period also managed a large plantation, and was, most successful in both enterprises. In 1853 he came to Greene county, Missouri, locating on Grand Prairie, northwest of Springfield, where he became the owner of a fine tract of land, which he developed by the assistance of his sons, his advanced age compelling him to merely oversee the place. During the Civil war he removed to Madison county, Arkansas where he remained until 1864, and while there engaged in the manufacture of knives and other utensils. After the close of the war he returned to Greene county and lived a retired life until his death at the age of eighty-two years, dying in Springfield, April 30, 1887. Politically he was a Whig and while active in political matters was never an Office seeker. Religiously he was a member of the Christian church, and an active worker in the Sunday school. He even purchased a printing press on which he printed a Sunday school paper and cards for the Sunday school pupils. He was very liberal in his support of the church. He made money rapidly and was always lenient with his debtors, never suing anyone who owed him. He was a great Bible student and was well posted on the current topics of. the day, was interested in the sciences, especially astronomy, and he made for himself a splendid telescope, some six feet long, which instrument is now in possession of his son, James G., of this review. By the exercise of his varied talents he accumulated a large property, and this, with an untarnished name, he left to his children. He did all his work thoroughly and believed that whatever was worth doing at all was worth doing well, and, besides his other fields of enterprise he was an expert book-binder. His, cotton factory in Tennessee had an overshot wheel thirty-five feet in diameter, and at the same time intelligently conducting this factory he also, operated a tannery on a large scale in connection with his other enterprises. He was musically inclined, and first his own instructor in this art he later was able to instruct others. He made a number of musical instruments, all of which he could play, and they were considered excellent of their kind. He was never contented unless busy at something and even in his last days was always working. He was one of those men who had a keen observing faculty, and Mother Nature in her varied forms possessed great beauty amid attraction for him, and while on his way to and from Philadelphia from Huntsville, Alabama, he always took occasion to visit the Natural Bridge in Virginia. He was one of the best known men in Greene county and was greatly admired and esteemed by all.
James G. Wood spent his boyhood days assisting his father with his various pursuits, principally about his cotton mills and farms, and he also learned the tanner's trade, and for some time had the management of that branch of his father's business. Although the opportunities to obtain an education in those days were not the best, he improved those he had, and remaining a wide reader and close observer always he became a well informed man. He left Tennessee in 1852, when he was twenty years of age, having preceded the family several months, and located with the rest of the family on Grand Prairie, Greene county, Missouri, where he engaged in farming until the commencement of the war between the states, when he removed with the family to Madison county, Arkansas, where he conducted a tannery until in 1864, when he returned to Greene county, and a few years later located on a farm of one hundred and sixty-seven acres near Springfield, which was given him by his father, and on which he continued to reside until his retirement from active life a number of years ago. His to farm was desirably located four miles southeast of Springfield, consisting of one hundred and eighty-seven acres, and was one of the best improved and most productive in the county. On it stood a large dwelling in the midst of attractive surroundings and a number of substantial outbuildings. Here he carried on general farming and stock raising on an extensive scale and prospered with advancing years through his able management and close application, until upon the arrival of old age he was classed among the wealthiest agriculturists of the county. He now resides in a beautiful home on East Walnut street, Springfield, which he built himself, surrounded by all the comforts of life.
Mr. Wood was married on October 1, 1857, to Susan Ann Dishongh, a daughter of Henderson and Sarah (Hail) Dishongh. The father was born in North Carolina, January 2, 1812, and was a son of Augustin Dishongh, who came from France in an early day and located in North Carolina before the Revolutionary war. At one time he ferried George Washington and his army across the river at his plantation. His death occurred in 1847 in Giles county, Tennessee, where he had moved in pioneer days. He reached the age of eighty-two years. His youngest son, Henderson Dishongh, was killed by lightning, June 16, 1847, in Giles county. The elder Dishongh was a skilled mechanic, and for many years was engaged in the manufacture of cotton cloth, and at the same time worked at his trade of millwright. He was the inventor of one of the first improved cotton spinning machines ever made. He was regarded as one of the greatest geneiuses in a mechanical way in his day and generation in this country. Politically, he was a Whig, took considerable interest in public affairs and was a useful citizen in every respect and highly honored by all who knew him. He and Sarah Hail were married in Tennessee. She was a daughter of Butler and Elizabeth Hail, who were early pioneers of that state, and were relatives of Dr. William Hail, a noted surgeon in the Mexican war. The death of Mrs. Sarah Dishongh occurred in Giles county, Tennessee, December 26, 1850. To Henderson Dishongh and wife six children were born, namely: George B. became a prosperous manufacturer of cotton goods in Lawrence county, Tennessee; Augustin, who owned a mill at Pulaski, that state, died at the age of forty-three years; Elizabeth married J. K. Speer, a prominent business man of Indianapolis, Indiana; Susan, who married James G. Wood, of this sketch; Sarah A. married James R. Gilmore, of Alabama, and Martha J., who married a Mr. Foster, of Greene county, Missouri, died in early life. Mrs. Woods was born in Giles county, Tennessee, June 5, 1839, and there she received a common school education. She was seventeen years of age when she removed with the family to Lawrence county, Tennessee, where she lived until her marriage to our subject.
Two children were born to James G. Wood and wife: Sarah E., whose birth occurred June 11, 1859, died April 15, 1862, and Susan J., whose birth occurred August 15, 1861. The latter was educated in the Springfield high school. She married B. L. Routt, a leading groceryman of Springfield, and to them four children were born, namely: Amma, now Mrs. Bert Richardson, who has one child, Josephine; Josephine; Lonnie, who died at the age of two years; James Routt, married, and is a clerk in the Metropolitan hotel.
The death of Mrs. James G. Wood occurred, February 2, 1912, when nearly seventy-three years of age. She was a woman of strong mind and kind heart, was beloved by her neighbors and friends, and was a devout member of the Christian church. Mr. Wood is also a member of that denomination, and politically he is a Democrat, but he has never been active in political affairs. He is charitably inclined and has ever been generous to those about him in need or distress, and has never hesitated to aid generously all movements that have for their object the general good. Many a young man owes his start and success in life to the material aid and sound advice of this venerable patriarch whose example is worthy of emulation by the youth who would not only make a success in life, but also become a useful and highly respected citizen.

The Padres could plug one of the holes in their lineup before baseball's annual Winter Meetings close today.
The Padres are close to finalizing a trade with Tampa Bay that would bring 31-year-old shortstop Jason Bartlett to the Padres.
In return, the Rays would get right-handed reliever Adam Russell and left-handed starter/reliever Cesar Ramos.
The clubs apparently reached an agreement Wednesday morning, although the Padres have not discussed the deal and a Rays official told The Tampa Tribune that news of a trade was "premature." However, Bartlett told the paper he believed he was heading back to the team that drafted him in 2001.
"That's where I started. I still know a few people there," he said. "My wife and I, we love the sun, we love the beach. And what better place to go? We're an hour flight from my family's (Bay Area) home. It's something that if I could have chosen a team, that's definitely the team I would have chosen."
The Padres are apparently trying to work out a contract agreement with Bartlett, who is in his final year of arbitration eligibility after making $4 million last season. He is scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the 2011 season.
Bartlett hit .254 for the Rays last season with a .324 on-base percentage. He hit four homers with 47 RBI and stole 11 bases.
He had the best season of his seven-year major league career in 2009 when he hit .320 with a .389 on-base percentage. He also had career highs with 14 homers, 66 RBI, 30 steals and made the American League All-Star team.
In 2008, Bartlett hit .286 with a .329 on-base percentage with one homer, 37 RBI and 20 steals.
Over three seasons with Tampa Bay, Bartlett hit .288 with a .349 on-base percentage. Bartlett has a career .281 average in the major leagues over seven seasons with a .345 on-base percentage and 29 homers and 242 RBI.
The 6-foot, 190-pounder is also considered a far above average defender and would be an improvement defensively over the three shortstops the Padres employed last season — Miguel Tejada, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Everth Cabrera.
It is unknown if the Padres are trying to reach an agreement with Bartlett for just 2011 or negotiate a contract for multiple seasons.
Bartlett could project to be a Class A free agent after the 2011 season, meaning the Padres would acquire two supplemental picks at the end of the first round if he departed as a free agent.
Also, the Padres are hopeful that Drew Cumberland — ranked the second-best project in the Padres organization before three top prospects arrived in the Adrian Gonzalez trade — might be ready for the major leagues for the start of the 2012 season.
Originally a 13th-round draft pick of the Padres in 2001, Bartlett was traded to Minnesota on July 12, 2002, for outfielder Brian Buchanan.
Russell, 27, had a 4.02 ERA in 12 appearances out of the Padres bullpen last season. Recalled from Triple-A Portland four times during the 2010 season, the 6-foot-8, 255-pound Russell was one of four pitchers acquired from the Chicago White Sox on July 31, 2009, in a trade for former Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy.
Ramos, 26, was the 35th overall pick in the 2005 draft by the Padres. He was 0-1 with an 11.88 ERA in 14 relief appearances for the Padres last season, although he is regarded as a starting pitcher.
Assuming the trade is completed, Russell and Ramos would bring to 10 the number of players on the Padres at the end of last season who have been traded or moved to other teams via free agency.
Although they have lost four members of their bullpen — Ryan Webb and Edward Mujica were traded to Florida for center fielder Cameron Maybin — the Padres still retain their core relievers in closer Heath Bell, right-handed setup men Mike Adams, Luke Gregerson and Ernesto Frieri, and left-hander Joe Thatcher.
The Padres have also lost first baseman Adrian Gonzalez via a trade to Boston for three prospects and have seen right-handed pitchers Jon Garland (Dodgers) and Kevin Correia (Pirates), catcher Yorvit Torrealba (Rangers), Tejada (Giants) and center fielder Tony Gwynn Jr. (Dodgers) sign with other teams as free agents.
Meantime, four teams — the Dodgers, Tigers, Orioles and Red Sox — have reportedly contacted the Padres regarding left fielder Ryan Ludwick, who could make more than $6.5 million in his final year of salary arbitration and is also scheduled to become a free agent after the 2011 campaign.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

An unlikely Christmas story: The Man Who Invented Christmas
The velveteen costumes and production design are sumptuous
Scott Marks 5 p.m., Nov. 22
Those expecting a Jean-Paul Sartre biopic will be disappointed to find instead the uninspired tale of a plagiarist. While honeymooning in Paris, a struggling young writer (Bradley Cooper) discovers a hand-written manuscript hidden inside the battered attache case his wife (Zoe Saldana) finds in an antique store. Five years later, Cooper's past bumps into him in the form of the failed French novelist (Jeremy Irons) whose work he "borrowed" and transformed into a major bestseller. Playing the pilfered scribe, Irons phones in much of his performance while seated on a park bench. From his perch, he operates as a transitional device, guiding us through the flashbacks. Buttressed by spirit gum and latex liver spots, Irons is saddled with the most dubious Hollywood aging process since Leonardo DiCaprio in J. Edgar. Cooper's limitations as an actor become more obvious with each passing performance. If you find your attention slipping, try watching his lips closely to spot "hell" dubbed over "fuck" on several occasions to ensure the film's producers a more kid-friendly PG-13 rating. The joke's on them. Short of painting Saldana blue, no effects-driven American teenager is going near this material. Neither should adults. Written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal. With Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde. 2012.
I could dream up 6 different endings to this movie. How could they choose no ending. What happened to the last third of the movie. Were they in a rush to finish it?

State Mulls Plan to Set Up FDA-style Food Watchdog
The ministry appears to be leaning in favor of the idea as long as the new authority comes under its auspices.
The Health Ministry is considering the establishment of a national authority to oversee the country's food industry, along the lines of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.
Dr. Roni Gamzu, director general of the ministry, has ordered a study into the matter following years in which the ministry was opposed to such a move.
A meeting is to be held by the end of the month with Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman to finalize the ministry's position on the matter. The ministry appears to be leaning in favor of the idea as long as the new authority comes under its auspices.
Gamzu said that if the plan is adopted, the Health Ministry would submit a government-sponsored bill on the matter, in coordination with other government ministries involved in food supervision - agriculture, interior, finance, and industry, trade and labor.
Members of the Knesset's Health Committee, including committee chair MK Haim Katz (Likud ) and member MK Dr. Rachel Adatto (Kadima ), have recently been promoting a bill to establish a national food authority. The initiative came from Galit Avishai, head of Public Trust, a non-profit consumer group.
Avishai submitted to the committee a report on ongoing failures in food supervision in Israel. The report found, for example, that different procedures for supervising food in the various Health Ministry districts make it possible for a food production plant that had been refused a license in one district to obtain it in another. The report also cites problems in enforcing food standards in market stalls and in the practice of adding water to meat.
The division of responsibilities for food supervision among various different bodies, according to the report, led to a situation in which the Agriculture Ministry granted a permit to use arsenic to encourage chicken growth from 2004 to 2007, an issue now before the courts.
The proposal to set up a national food authority first came up in 2003 following the so-called Remedia affair, when a lack of vitamin B1 in the baby formula manufactured by that firm led to the deaths of two infants and the hospitalization of 23 others. In response to the affair, then health minister Dan Naveh tightened supervision and testing of baby foods, but not of other foods.
A committee established at the time found found that coordination was lacking on food supervision and recommended establishing an oversight authority. But Health Ministry experts opposed the idea, and so, in 2004, the cabinet established an oversight council to coordinate supervision of foods among the various ministries. Since then, two of its chairmen have resigned over lack of funding and authority.
Indeed, the council had legal authority and may submit recommendations only.
"In other countries, affairs involving food were the impetus for the establishment of national supervisory authorities, but in Israel, we found discussions going back to 1966, but even after the Remedia affair, no real change happened," Avishai said.
The Health Ministry said in response: "The ministry is studying the issue, and we will present our position in the coming weeks. In any case, a food authority will not be established without the Health Ministry's support and without making clear that it must be subservient to the health minister."

I don't think we've been to the fire department to visit since before Christmas.
The phone rang in the middle of the night, forcing my husband out of bed and allowing me to stretch out and cuddle into that sweet spot right in the middle. A garage fire kept him out all night, leaving him just enough time to come home and shower before heading back to the fire department for his normal shift. In his rush, he forgot his toiletries bag.
So after Children's Choir tonight, we ran it over to him—showing up just in time to wash the fire trucks. We meaning that the boys jumped right in, washing the trucks with sheer joy while I sat on the couch in the garage and snapped photos. I watched as LittleBrother skipped—a new skill—from fire truck to fire truck.
As a special treat, the boys got to "ride" in the fire truck as it was pulled out of the garage so the other firefighters could squeegee the water down the drains. All the joy.
As we got back in our car, LittleBrother asked an important question.
"Daddy, when I'm a firefighter, how old will you be?"
My husband's heart darn near exploded with joy. I love being part of this family—our four person unit and the fire department.

We have updated our Privacy Policy and encourage you to read it by clicking here.
It always starts with getting the C-suite into the room to present them with an overview of what they can expect as deliverables from a Security Assessment and/or a Risk Analysis… then the question is asked "how much is this going to cost?" Here's today's big tip – Show 'em the money – make it a Return on Security Investment (ROSI)!
Sadly, we actually hear "Who cares?"— At certain points, some CEOs have snorted (something along the lines of…) "I don't care if someone knows my blood pressure is high" … or "that I had strep throat last winter". Who cares?"
That's when we pull out the stats on the misuse of unauthorized access and disclosures of protected health information (PHI):
Finally, if that's not enough, there are people with "sensitive" health information that do not want employers, or bankers, or neighbors, or friends or family, to know about…. And those people are willing to sue, big dollars, should that information be impermissibly disclosed.
So, as to the answer to the question "Who cares?"– maybe not you, but don't underestimate the passion of others.
With that question behind us, we move on…
As with most things in business, it all comes down to money, multiple priorities vying for the same investment dollars. And "Risk Management" initiatives typically fall below those associated with "Revenue Generation" , "Customer Retention" and " Cost Containment".
But what if a CEO approached this question "What is the value of PHI?" by determining the cost and impact on her business if PHI is lost? Instead of using the highly touted average cost of a breached record, which is not necessarily relevant to every organization, and involves a calculation not vetted by the organization's CFO….
What if, instead, an organization could calculate, specifically for itself, the cost of a data breach and then develop the ROSI on initiatives that decrease the probability and/or the impact of a data breach.
That's the premise of the recently published report "The Financial Impact of Breached Protected Health Information: A Business Case for Enhanced PHI Security". The paper provides a five step methodology (called PHIve) for assessing the relevance and impact of 20 cost elements in 5 cost categories in the event of a breach, given vulnerabilities and safeguards for each asset (or "PHI home") that handles PHI or ePHI. Examples, formulas and statistics provide an opportunity for an organization to calculate, specifically for itself, the estimated cost of a breach and how to use that information to build a solid rationale for an investment in strengthening their compliance program.

Witcher 3 - Interview @ Examiner
Examiner has finally published the interview with CDP Red's Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, they have been hyping for the last two days. The interview is more about open world gaming in general and less about The Witcher 3.
Examiner: As we end this current generation of gaming, how has the genre of open-world gaming evolved?
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz: Game worlds have gotten really big, immersive and, most importantly, detailed. There was a time when open world gameplay meant that you just had to travel from point A to point B with nothing to do in between. The surroundings tried to emulate the wilderness, clumps of polygons were meant to look like animals and so on. The big difference is that, nowadays, there's like a second game between point A and B. If you want, you can forget that point B even exists. It happened slowly, so many gamers just take it for granted. But when you think about it for a while, it's really a magnificent thing!

"Burslem is a populous and well built market town, which claims the honour of being 'the mother of the Staffordshire Potteries', and holds a healthy and elevated situation in the northern division of that extensive and celebrated seat of the china and earthenware manufactures, being seated between Hanley and Tunstall, about a mile E of Longport Railway Station, three miles N of Stoke, and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The parish of Burslem now has upwards of 18,000 inhabitants, in Burslem, Rushton Grange, Sneyd, and Abbey Hulton lordship. These four adjoining liberties comprise about 2930 acres, and include the villages and suburbs of Brown-Hills, Dalehall, Hamill, Longport, and the greater part of Cobridge, all lying within a mile of the town.
Burslem and Sneyd are in the manor of Tunstall-Court, of which Ralph Sneyd, Esq, is lord of the manor, and he is also lord of Hulton Abbey manor, but a large portion of the parish belongs to other landowners, the largest of whom are the Earl of Macclesfield, Lady Chetwynd, Lord Camoys, Miss Sparrow, the representatives of the late John Wood, Esq, William Davenport, Esq, and HH Williamson, Esq.
The villages in the parish may be considered as populous suburbs of the town, and are situated as follows: Brown-Hills, half a mile N, Hamill, on the north side of the town, Hulton Abbey, two miles E, near the Caldon Canal, Sneyd and Hot Lane, forming the south-eastern suburbs, Cobridge, including Rushton Grange, and the populous southern part of Burslem, near the top of Waterloo Road, and also a small part of Shelton, and Dalehall and Longport, extending one mile westward to the Trent & Mersey Canal, and Burslem Station on the North Staffordshire Railway.
Longport was anciently called Long-bridge, from a kind of bridge or stepping stones laid across the swampy meadows, but after the completion of the canal it obtained the name Longport.
The town of Burslem has nearly tripled in extent and population during the last fifty years, and until the year of 1807 it was a chapelry of the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, but it was then made a separate parish and rectory."

"In the suburbs and the town are many extensive china and eathenware manufactories. Messrs W Davenport & Co have glass works and three large potteries at Longport, and employ about 1200 hands. They were appointed porcelain manufacturers to William IV and Queen Adelaide, and are the largest earthenware and china manufacturers and exporters in the kingdom.
The elegant Parian Brooches, Bracelets, etc, manufactured by Mrs M Brougham of Burslem, have deservedly received the patronage of Her Majesty, the Duchess of Sutherland, Jenny Lind, and many other distinguished ladies, as also have the rich fuchia bloom Parian Ear-Drops, manufactured by Mr H Timmis.
Messrs T & R Boote, of Waterloo Pottery, have highly distinguished themselves as manufacturers of Parian Statuary, White Granite Porcelain, and Royal Mosaic Ware, of which latter they are the patentees.
Burslem is undoubtedly the most ancient seat of the earthenware manufacture in Staffordshire and is remarkable as the place where the first clod of that great national undertaking, the Trent & Mersey Canal, was cut by that eminent potter, the late Josiah Wedgwood, Esq.
Nearly the whole of the land on which the town stands, as well as that which surrounds it, has at various periods been deeply excavated for those valuable minerals, coal, clay and ironstone, to the abundance and variety of which, the Staffordshire Potteries owe nearly all their present importance."

Legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall, 82, died Tuesday in his hospital room at Zale Lipshy Hospital in Dallas, Tex., according to the Dallas Morning News.
He was recovering from surgery to repair a broken hip, a family friend confirmed.
Known for his work as an analyst on a record 16 Super Bowls, Summerall had a to-the-point style that made him a household name while working for CBS from 1961-93. After CBS he joined the staff at Fox until he retired in 2002.
During 21 of his years Summerall worked alongside analyst John Madden, and they grew into one of America's most popular sportscasting duos. Their last Super Bowl together was in 2002 when the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17.
Summerall also called NBA games for CBS and became the network's lead voice on golf and tennis.
Summerall leaves behind wife, Cheri, and three children with his first wife, Kathy.

a price based on not only who the market is, but what work you've done. You have to look at how much education you've had. Were you selling artwork when you were in school, in college?
Is training important for today's artists?
Yes. It is as important for an artist to be trained as it is for a brain surgeon. It's intuitive, but there's so much you need to know about– not only the tools, but the trade [and] how art works. If you don't understand what abstract art or a good composition is, at least you need some training to say, 'I don't even need this.'
But if you don't even have an idea of the artists who went before you–why Romare Bearden is selling for what he is, or why [Jean-Michel] Basquiat is selling for so much more–you need to understand the art world of how things get to museums.
If you want to get to the next level, it helps if you've had training. If you spend time around artists, you begin to speak the language of artists who are trained–professors who understand where you can go with the artwork.
Some people have the perception that the art world is mostly a white world. What have been some of your challenges being an African American artist in the mainstream art world?
The perceptions are more the reality, in terms of the gallery and how they are structured. People who open galleries, who have that kind of discretionary income, are white women, so they go with what they know. So, most of them have a Eurocentric focus about the work. That's what they grew up with and that's what they were educated about.
So, you have very few galleries that represent or have African American artists on their roster. And they are saying that it doesn't relate to their patrons.
But, [also] it was not something that our own people valued. We were raised with music by African Americans, but we did not have Jacob Lawrence on the walls. So that was the missing component. And it still is, in most African American homes, that you don't have an appreciation or celebration of your own. So, it behooves us to get more involved in support of our own culture to make sure that we understand it, we celebrate it, that we live it, and that we celebrate it by having it in our homes.
And what advice would you have for collectors?
See if you can buy prints first. Go to original prints, serigraphs, and lithographs — maybe you can find a lithograph of Elizabeth Catlett for a few thousand dollars. It may sound like a lot or it may not, but what happens is we find the time and the money for the things that we think are important.
And so start with learning as much as you can about what it is you care about. If you care about the works of African Americans, there are all kinds of books.
Make sure

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
My scanner is around 5 years old, and I had a difficult enough time getting the drivers for it for NT, I doubt it will work with linux. And that's not even considering the actual scanning software. Plus, it only scans up to 1200, - I am working on some cafepress items and from what I've heard scanning at a higher resolution is best. There's no point in getting a new scanner for the old machine, it's pretty slow anyway and can't handle large files.
So, 'm left with needing a scanner for my linux computer. I haven't starting looking yet - but I wonder if many are compatible with linux and if they have linux software to use it with?
And I'm also going to need a digital camera and photo printer for this computer too - not looking forward to getting all this set up and working.
It's a shame there isn't more support for linux.
As for digital cameras and printers:
Most digital cameras (and cardreaders) work well under linux, even 'unsupported' ones (to my recollection most if not all recent usb ones are mountable as vfat devices, so even those models listed as uncompatible with say gphoto, can be mounted and have their images retrieved).
A lot of printers work well too. LinuxPrinting.org [linuxprinting.org] has very good compatability trees.
Given that all the devices you mention are often incorperated into multifunction printers (with cardreader) your best bet might be looking up such devices on linuxprinting.org. I have had good luck with HP usb devices (but devices is plural because the construction left, in my case, something to be desired).

U.S. Drought Falls Below 50 Percent
The drought that has had most of the United States in its grip for nearly a year has begun to shrink.
The area of the contiguous United States in moderate or more severe drought has dropped below 50 percent for the first time since June 19, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor released Thursday. Thanks to the heavy precipitation that has reached parts of the Plains and upper Midwest, the areas considered to still be in moderate drought or worse has declined to 47.82 percent.
"We've been on a steady but slow recovery path fromdrought since the peak in September 2012," said Mark Svoboda, Universityof Nebraska-Lincoln climatologist and a founding author of the monitor."We've seen a much more active weather pattern lately across the midsectionof the country, which has been eroding the intensity of drought as we head intospring. This is exactly what we needed."
Svoboda, however, cautioned that more improvements need to come before the hot, dry season sets in.
Nebraska saw the drought recede in the extreme eastern part of the state as well as in the Panhandle, but most of the state remains in extreme drought.
The U.S. Drought Monitor map is jointly produced by theNational Drought Mitigation Center at UNL, the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and about 350 droughtobservers across the United States. The map is released each Thursday based ondata through the previous Tuesday morning.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Community United Effort (CUE), Wilmington, NC, USA
I was asked to assist them in a cold case search in Oklahoma.
The search was far from professional and highly disorganized. For a group thats been around for quite some time my interaction with them will be my first and last.
Lack of proper planning
Searchers were delayed a day of searching because monica had not investigated the site prior to our arrival.
- Lack of sufficient communications for the searchers.
Searchers could not reach command on the radio - It presented a huge safety problem.
Any K9 handler will tell you when working a K9 you want to work them either early in the morning or later in the evening - not mid day when its over 100 degrees out.
Lack of support personnel and supplies
Water and supplies ran out and were not replaced
No EMS support - when you have folks out in the field you need to have proper support.

Free Core, Some Assembly Required

RISC-V rallies engineers for open hardware
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – It's early days for RISC-V -- an open specification seen as a Linux of microprocessors. On its long to-do list, engineers still need to define basic pieces of the instruction set architecture including its memory model, how it will speak to the external world of I/Os and how to debug it.
Many of the about 150 developers who signed up for the third RISC-V workshop volunteered to start a handful of working groups to address the most pressing issues in fundamental areas including security, virtualization and compliance. Proponents said the effort has taken the vanguard of the open source hardware movement, attracting leaders of earlier OpenCore and OpenRISC efforts.
The LowRISC project at the University of Cambridge is attracting interest as the likely first source of real development hardware. The team which includes members of the Raspberry Pi project hopes to have first silicon this year and plans to make development boards available in 2017, likely for $50-100.
The first of several planned LowRISC chips will tape out before the end of the year, a 9mm2 28nm part that fits in BGA package. It will use four cores running at more than a GHz with 512 Kbytes L2 cache and a 32-bit LPDDR3 memory controller. The group ultimately aims to deliver a low-cost board made completely with open source digital logic.
Until LowRISC is available, developers will work with a handful of emerging system simulators and soft cores mainly implemented in FPGAs. One engineer said he is 80% done with a QEMU emulator for RISC-V that could be completed in two weeks.
Such tools will be key for the biggest job ahead, creating a software ecosystem for RISC-V. Ports of a handful of Linux variants including FreeBSD are well underway as are other low-level components, but ports of more widely used RTOSes and Android are more than a year away.
Ultimately, the effort must attract the broader world of applications developers if it is to become commercially significant. "We need more developers and more documents and specifications to reduce their startup costs," Arun Thomas, an R&D engineer at BAE Systems told attendees.
So far, 48 individuals from seven universities and companies including BAE, Bluespec, Google, LG Electronics and Vectorblox have made software contributions to RISC-V on GitHub. Thomas rattled off a laundry list of needs ranging from specs for direct-memory access, an I/O memory management unit, performance counters, an applications binary interface, bootloaders, hypervisor and security extensions as well as the kind of detailed programming guides ARM provides its users.
"There's a fair amount of work ahead just on the spec side," Thomas said.
A basic port of FreeBSD was created from scratch with 25,000 lines of fresh code written in the last six months, reported Ruslan Bukin, a researcher at the University of Cambridge. This year the group aims to add support for multicore architectures, floating point units, Ethernet drivers and expanded virtual addresses.

Small companies seek ARM alternative
The good news for RISC-V is it has attracted a core of seasoned engineers enthusiastic about the project's potential. For example, Jon Masters, chief ARM architect for Red Hat, took a vacation day to attend the workshop and volunteered to lead a key task group defining a platform specification.
Masters said hopes to write a book about porting Linux to the first commercial open source core. Others said the event marked a historic moment in what will likely be a ten-year process to establish a free microprocessor, disrupting the semiconductor industry in ways Linux upended the software world.
"Everyone wants a free Linux core," said Andreas Olofsson, chief executive of semiconductor startup Adapteva, who joined the fledgling platform working group.
In today's cost-squeezed environment, any company would adopt a free control core then try to create differentiation in software or other hardware blocks, said Olofsson who sported a beard that is a sign he is well along in working on his next-generation Epiphany processor.
Engineers from small companies say they cannot afford the several million dollars required to license an ARM core, several weeks to negotiate the license and a man-year of engineering to integrate it into an SoC. Using roughly similar engineering resources, they can modify RISC-V to suit their needs, something not allowed under a standard ARM license, Olafsson said noting Adapteva is already contributing to and drawing from open-source hardware efforts.
Bigger companies are already kicking the tires. For example, the chief technologist of Chelsio and a member of Microsoft's silicon group attended the event.
"I could see how pretty quickly a RISC-V core could be useful for something simple like a security processor that doesn't need to run a full operating system," said Eric Mejdrich, a principal hardware architect from the group developing chips inside the Xbox and HoloLens.
For companies willing to accept some risk, the cores could be ready to use in commercial chips within a year, according to one engineer whose company is evaluating RISC-V and asked to remain anonymous. For more risk averse companies, it could take up to three years, he said.
In a sign of the breadth of interest in RISC-V, Oracle, who hosted the workshop in a theater at its headquarters here, had six engineers signed up to attend the event including the vice president of Oracle Labs. Eight engineers signed up from AMD, the most from any one place except UC Berkeley which gave birth to the initiative in August 2014. Other attendees came from companies including ARM, Ceva, eASIC, Lattice, Huawei, IBM and Nvidia.

Google, HPE provide soft support
At the workshop, software experts from Google and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) described work porting to RISC-V firmware stacks they are trying to establish as industry standards.
A Google engineer said the company has its Coreboot now running on RISC-V. The firmware is embedded in Chromebooks and Chrome-based media-streaming systems using other processors. He also called for help porting to RISC-V Google's Go programming language, a project a three-person team at Google has already started.
HPE has cobbled together a rough port of the UEFI firmware used in x86 PCs and servers. RISC-V lacks power management, trusted mode and systems management specifications, said Abner Chang, an HPE software engineer working on the UEFI port. Microsoft also needs to fill in key pieces of the UEFI port, he added.
Chang made a special plea for a management mode to enable the free core to achieve its full potential. "RISC-V is not just for embedded systems, we can bring it to PCs and servers," he said.
Another HPE engineer reported on a breakout group on defining the RISC-V memory model. "Memory subsystems are generally getting more complex…the feeling was there's a lot of work to be done in this space," he said, noting the potential to borrow many concepts established by x86 and ARM chips
A separate security group parsed out a wide range of topics RISC-V could address. The effort has already attracted attention and support from both the U.S. and India governments for national security projects.
Draper Labs is developing a RISC-V chip using metadata to tag memory addresses with security policies, a concept developed in a secure computing program sponsored by DARPA last year.
In India, the Modi government has approved a budget that includes funding for a national microprocessor development project. Work could start as early as March when funding starts to flow to the effort that aims to create a family of RISC-V-based processors that would be available for military systems as well as commercial users in India.
A handful of papers presented projects using RISC-V as an embedded core in an FPGA that acts as an accelerator for various applications. For example, former Microsoft researcher Jan Gray described an FPGA using 400 RISC-V cores delivering nearly 100,000 Mips.
Gray's design, which he was able to boot on Christmas Eve, uses a novel network-on-chip with a compact router making it easier to place and communicate with cores in a large array. "This router will change the way people design large FPGAs," he claimed of the design he has yet to complete and aims to license.

'Vote Doug' for Otter Tail County Board
There will be a new representative for East Otter Tail on the county board next year--for the first time since the last century. One thing is certain as far as the outcome of the County Board election: The winner will be Doug.
Longtime Commissioner Syd Nelson, who served 26 of the last 30 years, announced his retirement last spring.
So, on Nov. 4, voters will elect Doug to the District One county seat.
There are two Dougs on the ballot: Doug Ackling and Doug Huebsch.
Both are businessmen, both from the Perham area.
Self-employed in construction--including a record of building about 100 miles of Otter Tail County roads--Ackling believes he has the background to serve the county well. Since his road construction work was largely with governmental units, he is familiar with the operations of a township, city and county.
"I'm very accustomed to working with boards," said Ackling. "I feel very qualified to do the job."
Meanwhile, the other Doug is a longtime turkey-grower and businessman.
"I don't have any issues...I'm not angry with anything," said Doug Huebsch. "I don't know all the answers, but I'm willing to ask questions and work hard to represent Otter Tail County District 1."
Otter Tail County's District 1 includes the townships of Blowers, Butler, Corliss, Dead Lake, Edna, Gorman, Hobart, Homestead, Newton, Paddock, Perham, Pine Lake, and Rush Lake.
Cities within the district are Dent, New York Mills, Perham and Richville.
Outgoing Commissioner Syd Nelson has been involved in government and public service his entire life. He served on the Paddock Township Board for 20 years prior to his 26 years on the Otter Tail County Board. His county service was interrupted by four years as a State Representative in St. Paul.
Candidates Huebsch and Ackling both responded to questionnaires from the Enterprise Bulletin and New York Mills Herald.
Their responses are printed below.
Doug Ackling
Otter Tail County Board
Occupation, work experience:
Self-employed in the construction industry for 40 years.
Brief biography:
High School graduate- 3 years college.
Served in the US Army (Berlin Crisis).
Past membership in Rotary Club, served on board.
Worked on various Rotarian projects.
Served on church and school boards and volunteered on various committees.
Past member of Chamber of Commerce, Booster club and Ducks Unlimited.
Married with three daughters, Teri Langlie, Dilworth Elementary School teacher; Tami Boyer, self-employed with "Tami's Angels" in Fargo, ND; and Traci Ackling, in heaven.
What do you feel are the county's top priorities or objectives at this time?
There are so many issues that the county board works with that it is difficult to prioritize them. To name a few would be:
Deteriorating community roads and bridges
Protecting our lakes and rivers
Social services
Land use (junkyard ordinances)
Solid waste (refuse burner)
What, if any, concerns do you have with the county now, and what ideas would you bring to the table as a county commissioner?
Among my concerns:
1) Taxes! Taxes! Taxes!! A slow down of the rate of county government expansion, which ultimately results in higher taxes.
2) Allow more city and township input and influences.
3) Improve public relations between various county departments and the citizens of Otter Tail County.
4) Opposing the drilling of 127 wells for the purpose of sending out water to Fargo.
There are so many demands being made for the county board that it is causing the county to have serious budget issues and will apply research, good logic, and common sense to the decision making process.
A proposed Perham Resource Recovery Facility expansion has been the focus of much Otter Tail County discussion. The project appears dead now, following a county board vote this fall. Would you work to revive this expansion proposal? If so, what steps would you take to bring the proposal back to the county board table?
The Perham Resource Recovery Facility has had a long, extensive hearing process. The present county board has worked diligently to resolve this issue. Until new information that has an impact on this facility becomes available, this issue, in my opinion, would be considered resolved.
Doug Huebsch
Otter Tail County Board
Education, background, service and family:
I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of Minnesota in Ag Economics, and I am on the Alumni Board of Directors. I serve on the USDA's Agricultural Statistics National Board. I am in Minnesota Agricultural and Rural Leaders and I was also a delegate on Governor Pawlenty's trade mission to China.
I am a farmer and businessman. I am a current and founding partner of New Life Farms, and NLF Group. I am also a current and founding member of Perham Capital Company, an area investment and development group. My wife, Susan, and I also own and operate The Wild Goose, a specialty gift store.
I have served as president of Perham Rotary Club, the Perham Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Perham Jaycees. I am Vice-Chairman of St. Henry's Parish Council. I also served as an EMT for Perham Area EMS and was the Perham Cub Scouts Master.
I enjoy traveling, reading and outdoor sports. We have three children, Elizabeth (Abby), Rebecca, and Mark.
Otter Tail County's top priorities:
The county's top priority should be to serve the people of Otter Tail County. Government should constantly be striving to improve the quality of life of all of its citizens. To do this we need to provide a safe and healthy work and recreational environment. Our economy is based heavily on tourism, service and agriculture and we need to implement policy that builds our economy, but also protects our environment. Otter Tail County is a great place to live, work and play and I really want to preserve that fact, for future generations.
Concerns and what would I bring to the table:
The county board is required to carry out the duties delegated by the state. It is imperative that we provide all government services as affordably and efficiently as possible. Unfortunately, given the current economic turmoil, more and more programs are being mandated, but not funded, by the state and federal government. The county may be faced with increased budget shortfalls that will require hard economic decisions. As a farmer and business owner, I have been faced with this type of dilemma. I have witnessed, first hand, belt tightening in order to meet budgets. I have been forced to come up with new and more efficient methods of accomplishing goals and objectives. This real life experience will help me on the county board.
I am a proponent of renewable energy. The PRRF faced opposition, due to a number of reasons, ranging from costs and emissions to risk and authority. In order for the expansion to happen, each one of these concerns needs to be addressed with viable solutions.
On a broader note, the United States economy has relied on foreign oil for too long and this dependence is the root cause of our economic turmoil on Wall Street, and it has trickled down to Main Street. There is not a single solution that will cure our foreign addiction. We need to meet this challenge with a comprehensive balanced approach. These solutions involve wind, solar, bio-fuels, hydrogen, natural gas, clean coal and waste streams, to name a few.
Obviously, when it comes to waste, we need to first reduce and recycle, but until that happens, we need to deal with the waste and burying it is not the long-term answer. Bongard's and Tuffy's both need steam to process their products, farmers need processors and our communities need jobs.

Not that cleaning up at the Razzies is something to be proud of, but a few of Hollywood's elite have managed just that.
Jessica Alba, Ashton Kutcher, and the cast of Sex and The City 2 were this year's big winners. Alba received worst supporting actress for her role in FOUR movies, Ashton managed worst actor for two of his films, and the ladies of Sex and the City took it home as a collective worst actress. M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender was the big loser as far as films go, racking up five Razzies. How does that guy still get work?

ThinkGenealogy Innovator Award #5
The winner of the next ThinkGenealogy Innovator award has been doing some exciting things in the area of genealogy conferences. That might not be an area that we normally associate with innovation, but that is precisely what Family History Expos, Inc. has been doing.
Their model is to find interesting presenters that are willing to share their family history knowledge in exchange for admission to the conference. This keeps the price of the 2-day conference to around dollars which is a bargain for the approximately 1000 attendees that register for each conference. In addition to two full days of presentations with multiple sessions each hour, there is a top-notched exhibit hall that is free to the public.
I must disclose at this point that I have attended 3 of these expos as a presenter and at this last conference hosted a Scouting heritage booth with space donated by another vendor. I feel that this has given me an inside view at these conferences and how Holly Hansen & crew are able to put on a quality expo.
The use of technology in connection with these expos is the main reason for awarding the Innovator award to Family History Expos. You can connect with FHExpos through their website, Facebook fan page, Twitter account, LinkedIn, and on GenealogyWise. Before the expo, a handful of bloggers are asked to help promote the conference and to tweet and blog about the conference as it is happening. For the Arizona Family History Expo held last month, I was was asked to be one of these "Bloggers of Honor" and was asked to attend a dinner so that I could answer questions from those at my table about what blogging is all about. At no time was I told what to write about or expected to present anything from a viewpoint other than my own. There is a also a Twitter Cafe where these bloggers can connect to the internet and write about the conference. There is a projection screen setup so that any tweets about the conference can be seen by attendees.
FHExpos is a good example to other conferences. Maybe one of the best ways this is shown is through their Twitter & Social Networking policy. Many presenters are concerned about attendees recording their presentations or posting their handouts online. This concern has grown with the popularity of blogs and Twitter. Other conferences that I have attended do not have a clear policy of what is acceptable.
Before a Family History Expo, the presenters are notified of the conference's policy on recording, blogging, Twitter, and social networking. For some presenters, this is an opportunity to learn about the advantages of attendees using these technologies and to be reassured that their content will be protected. This same policy is available on the FHExpos website and in the conference materials passed out to each attendee. Before each class, the person introducing the speaker reminds the attendees about the policy. This goes a long way to set expectations so that everyone knows what is acceptable and what is not. I had an experience at one conference where no guidelines were given and I kept notes via Twitter. It didn't occur to me until after the conference, that I was probably too verbose in my coverage of the presentations.
Here is copy of the policy used by Family History Expos:
Recording, Twitter, Blogging, and Social Networking Policy
Family History Expos does not allow recording of presentations under any circumstances. When sessions are professionally recorded you will be able to purchase a copy from Family History Expos or a designated vendor.
Family History Expos encourages the use of Twitter at Expos. Please tweet the highlights of classes attended; however it is not appropriate to give full details of class materials presented.
When beginning a session of tweets give credit and use Expo hashtag "#fhexpo" within each tweet. Example of appropriate tweeting:
1. Arizona Family History Expo sponsored by Family History Expos, Inc. and others. #fhexpo #genealogy #familyhistory
2. Presenter name, class title #fhexpo
3. Information on a point being made #fhexpo
4. Helpful or new URL being discussed #fhexpo
5. Questions or comments made by attendees in class #fhexpo
Family History Expos invites bloggers to take time to give thoughtful insights, meaningful descriptions, and exercise professional courtesy when blogging about specific presentations. Please give proper citation to presentations you attend and cover in your blog.
Social Networking
The use of social networks, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and GenealogyWise, is fun and exciting. We enjoy using them and hope that you do too. However, it is important to remember that our presenters invest tremendous amounts of time developing their presentations, strategies, methodologies, and research guidance. They spend years gaining education and expertise on the subjects they teach.
We request that the intellectual and real property developed by Family History Expos and our presenters be respected and credit be appropriately given.
Copyright to all class presentations, recordings, and syllabus materials belong to Family History Expos and its presenters by agreement of said parties.
I look forward to additional innovation by Family History Expos and expect that other conferences will soon define their own policies on the use of social networking.

Tomorrow is the BIG GAME! And while I'm still sad that my beloved Green Bay Packers blew their chance to be a Superbowl team, I will still be tuning in to tomorrow's game if not for the game, the commercials and half-time entertainment.
One thing I love about football Sundays is relaxing with my family and consuming yummy food. Although I enjoy eating wings, chips with guacamole, and all things delicious, I try to make a conscious effort to make sure that the food is somewhat "healthy". To me that means as wholesome and void of any added "junk".
I was THRILLED when the people at Chobani reached out to me and asked if I'd be interesting in creating a healthy game day recipe using Chobani as the main ingredient. I said, "Yes!" of course because not only do I love Chobani yogurt, I love using it as a substitute for cooking on a regular basis. My favorite thing to use it for is sour cream. Instead of using sour cream for tacos or chili, I substitute it with Chobani Greek yogurt. You can hardly taste the difference and it's so much better for you.
So for the big game tomorrow, I bring to you a Caramelized Onion Dip with Bacon. I used a sweet onion and added balsamic vinegar for an original taste. I'm a huge fan of onion dip with potato chips and well, who doesn't love bacon?
Caramelized Sweet Onion Dip with Bacon
1 Sweet Onion Large-Chopped
2 tsp Ghee
1 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chobani greek yogurt
1/4tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
3 strips of cooked bacon chopped
1. Chop the onion
2. Heat ghee or butter on a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent and start to brown. Roughly about 8 minutes. If at any point the cooked onions start to stick to the skillet, add a tsp of water to help loosen them up and continue to stir.
3. After 10 minutes, stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, pepper, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce.
4. Lower heat and and gently cook for another 15 minutes or until the onions are caramelized.
5. Remove the onions from the heat and let cool. In a separate bowl, mix together the Chobani greek yogurt, mayonnaise. Stir in the caramelized onions. Add in 3 strips of cooked bacon and stir all the way through. Serve with chips and enjoy!
What is your favorite game day appetizer? I'm also a big fan of taco dip 🙂

General Comments
Bought my Nissan X-Trail 2.2 Dci Sport 4x4 in October 2002. Worked fine until summer 2004. Lost power suddenly :brought it to the garage and they replaced airvolume switch, I believe it was. This happend twice, next thing that happend was that the engine ran out of oil; the oil went into the turbo. Back to the garage, they drained it & changed the gaskets. Back on the road and voila; engine ran out of oil. This time the turbo is totally wrecked and needs to be replaced. The mechanics don't have a clue and are hoping this might do the trick. Does anyone on here have an idea what might be the problem? Really tired of this machine at the moment. Other than that it looks like it is on fire when going up hill, and it has got a weird noise when starting up, kind a like a whizzle noise?

Camp Rainbow
Krystal Meyer, is a member of our community who goes above and beyond to help cancer patients. She has been selected to volunteer at Camp Rainbow at Cathedral Pines in Hailey Idaho.
Camp Rainbow is a week-long sleepover camp for children ages 6 to 13 who have had or are currently living with cancer or other blood-related disorders. The goal of Camp Rainbow is to enable these children to have a "normal" camping experience, regardless of their illness or the side effects of their treatments.
