This week, Support Republic will feature the daily diary of Alex Champness, an IT manager from Colchester, Essex, UK. Alex runs the IT department for Nicholas Anthony, a company that designs kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom interiors. He supports its offices in Colchester, London, and Chelmsford. Alex recently appeared in a TechRepublic Featured Member Profile. Click here to read the interview and learn more about Alex.
I travel through the usual traffic, rain, and fog to reach Colchester and am glad to arrive at my dry office.
I check my e-mail first thing. Our sales staff works on Saturday and nearly always has problems. This time, a printer is reporting a problem with the print bar that the head moves along. A quick cleaning with some WD-40 and household oil solves the problem.
Next, I devote some time to continue writing a set of installation procedures for a new system my company is taking on. I also have to finish editing a computer map of the company. I started this project soon after taking over the IT department 14 months ago. Until now, no one knew which computers were where.
Now I can give our NT servers a quick check. The Colchester server seems to be having a problem with the backup. A quick tweak should fix it. Our London server has a recurring problem. The file Store.exe will not stop growing. The file is meant to be a temporary store, but it is not dumping any files. Once the file grows too large, users are prevented from logging on, and the server has to be rebooted. I am still looking for a solution for this one.
The Chelmsford server's WINS is reporting "an exception during the process of sending a push notification to another WINS." I'll keep an eye on this. The problem is due to me rebooting one of our WAN's other servers at a different site. In a minute, I'll make sure everything is running okay.
A user in London calls to report a sewage flood. They've had to move all the computers from the lower floor. I can sense a nasty job coming my way. I will definitely have to visit the London office sometime this week but will leave it until the sewage problem is resolved.
Nightmare. An irate London user calls to say her fax machine is broken and blames me. Every company has someone like this. You know the one, no matter what you do, it's never good enough, and they trash every electronic thing they touch.
During the call, she brings up two other problems. Apparently her e-mail is not working. I ask her if she has the address right—this doesn't go down too well! Their Zeta fax (PC faxing system) is not working. A quick check with Exchange and Event Viewer shows no obvious problems.
A dial-in check on the London server reveals an IRQ conflict with the internal modem. This system was installed before I started working here and has never worked. Until now, no one had realized the problem because they all use the normal fax machine.
After a quick lunch, it's time to swap out a few workstations. Several of our designers work with graphics software to create "photo real" images. The pictures show our customers what their finished interior will look like. A new designer recently took over for an employee that was let go due to suspicious circumstances. The computer this designer is using is fairly low speed and needs to be changed. After a quick swap, I check on the e-mail and then load the graphics software and catalogues.
It's now time for a trip to our warehouse. The warehouseman was made redundant, and I must remove and store his computer in my office. I return to my desk and focus my attention on our intranet. I spend the rest of the afternoon setting the home pages on each employee's Internet browser to our intranet. Only the financial controller and myself have automatic Internet access. Other employees must get special permission to use our proxy server.
Time to go home.
Do you have an answer for Alex's problem with the Store.exe file? Post a comment below or send us an e-mail.
This diary recounts Alex's week from Monday, March 26, to Friday, March 30, 2001.

My cousin commissioned me to make a piece with a barn and rolling hills and a horse. It is for her baby son's nursery (who is like 9 days younger than London). Anyway, she got it today and she love it...which makes me happy. I have never made a horse in my fabric pieces before so I am just glad that it turned out!
I am not sure what I am going to do with this one. I may sell prints but I am wondering if I will have to mark the first page as Mature- I don't want to do that in my Etsy shop- it is a nude but it's art!
Well the Soup is on tonight- I can't wait. I know I'm a sucker.
London is fast asleep - he goes to bed earlier and earlier and I love it! He has been super tired b/c he is getting like 4 molars all at once- poor baby.

Does your temp start to lower when you are closer to ovulation or does it only drop the day of ovulation?
I started temping on CD1, and since then my temps have been a mixture of 97.--, but today at CD11 it was 96.99. That's my first 96. Temp. Today is the first of my 5 fertile days (says my days app) and I am experiencing my creamy cm.
Re: Temperatures
Don't stress over a single temp. It's the overall pattern you need to look at and a lot of factors can mess with a single temp.. mouth open, colder in room, snoring when you usually don't etc.
Re: Temperatures
Ok thanks. I know I shouldn't be stressing this early with temps anyways. This is my first month temping. So it's all over the place. Lol.
Re: Temperatures
You and I are figuring it out together... yesterday mine seemed was low but I was an hour earlier so....
Re: Temperatures
The trouble with temping is that you can't really tell much about when O happens, until it's already over. Especially not your first month doing it when you don't know what your normal patterns are going to look like. Get to BDing just in case, and keep it up every other day until you see 3 or more days consistently elevated. Good luck! Don't stress too much over it.
Re: Temperatures
Thanks for the advice. I'm ready to get started and can't wait to O.
Fx this is my month. :smile:
Re: Temperatures
I'm still new at charting, too! So far, I don't have a very dramatic drop before O. It might go down .1 for a day or two, then climb back up.
I stress about it, too, but what the above ladies said I find I need to remind myself over and over!

The Punter: McClaren to be Van the man?
Former England boss Steve McClaren took his interviewing technique to a new level when speaking to a Dutch TV journalist.
McClaren tried unsuccessfully and risibly to adopt at Dutch accent in a garbled response even though the interviewer spoke good English.
Few listened to what he was saying, more how he was saying it. The bizarre interview has been watched by nearly a million people on youtube, and the clip has moved one quirky Dublin punter to back the Englishman to change his name to Steve 'Van' Claren by the end of 2009.
The punter went into William Hill's shop in Monkstown in Dublin, and wagered €10 at odds of 1000-1 that the Englishman would change his name.
The Dubliner now stands to win €10000 if the former England boss decides to show that he and quirkiness go hand-in-hand.
Tony Kenny of William Hill says: "Steve McClaren is obviously a big fan of Dick Van Dyke. "He loves umbrellas and the Dutch, and the next step for the former England boss could be to change his name to help him in his new job as coach to FC Twente."
McClaren now speaks worse English than the Dutch!

Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Tuesday he is "100 percent" behind Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, who had initially endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, after he dropped out of the GOP contest in February, made the comment on the Fox News show On The Record with Greta Van Sustern.
"The most important issue is preserving the Constitution of this country and a liberal Supreme Court will destroy it," Santorum said, noting that if Clinton should win the White House, the elevation of five "progressive, ultraliberal" justices would "rewrite the Constitution and the next 25 years of America would be changed."

In a follow-up email to his supporters, Santorum elaborated.
TRENDING: Cowboys' Jerry Jones to NFL Boss Roger Goodell: 'I'm Gonna Come After You With Everything I Have'
"Over the past several weeks, I've had numerous conversations with senior members of the Trump Campaign, including a long heart-to-heart with Donald Trump," Santorum wrote, saying he was "incredibly encouraged" that Trump's list of 11 potential Supreme Court picks included some of Santorum's suggestions.
"We know who Hillary Clinton will appoint," he wrote in his email that had the subject line "Never Hillary," predicting that if Clinton wins, "We will become a European-style secular, socialist republic."

Although Santorum liked Trump's list of Supreme Court picks, he's not enamored with the tone of the 2016 campaign.
"I don't think you're going to see a lot of good for discourse over the next several months, from either camp," Santorum said, noting that personal attacks seem to be taking precedence over policy disputes.
However, Santorum admitted Trump's aggressive style has "worked very well for him."
"I think maybe Americans want a little unvarnished, and I can't say that I'm crazy about it," he said.

About UsWho is the Lazy B Farm?
About….? About what?
So interesting to contemplate! I guess I'm supposed to write something about who we are, what we are, how we are, and why we are.
Anyway, if this is your first time to be introduced to us, I suppose I should be courteous and answer those inquisitive curiosities otherwise you wouldn't have come to the "about"!
I've been married for 27 years to my wonderful husband and together we have 6 children. I've homeschooled all of them. Our eldest is an RN in the ICU at a local hospital; our next child is a Sr. at UGA; the next is working after graduating with a 2 year degree in Business; our son is a Freshman at UGA; our next child is in 1oth grade and our youngest is in 7th grade. I love my family – a lot. I also love homesteading and we've been doing it for many, many years. We moved to GA in Dec. of '02 and became official homesteaders, not that animals and land give credibility to a homesteader. But it sure helps – especially if you can keep the animals alive!
We've made lots of mistakes along our homesteading journey but our victories keep us motivated. Lazy B Farm in an educational homestead, passionate about helping others achieve their "homesteading" lifestyle no matter if they live in an apartment in the city or on 100 acres in the country.
So there you go – there's the about! If you want to know more about a large family and all it's quirkiness or about all the joys and frustrations of homeschooling or about homesteading and all the mistakes I've made or about our day to day antics and activities then you're at the right website and we hope you stay!!
Update: I chuckled as I read over the last writings for the About page and WOW has my life changed! I am within one year of being an empty nester!! And I'm now a Solo farmer on our homestead. The children have all flown to chase their own dreams. Within the last year, I've earned the title of Nana – a name I cherish.
Be sure to check out our blog as I share my transition into the Solo Farmer and all the happenings here at the homestead.
"Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in … Where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul." — John Muir
Mission Statement:
We exist as a hands-on classroom to instruct and motivate others toward a healthier, more independent lifestyle.
The Lazy B Farm was established in January, 2003 and we have been hard at work ever since! We've added an orchard, vegetable garden, numerous outbuildings for animals, beehives, lots and lots of flower beds and so much more. We've had a lot of fun creating new "spaces" on our land and learning constantly how to be better stewards of the land we live on and use.
We've had lots of our friends come to the farm and ask if we would ever consider giving classes, or provide "field trips" so others could see our homestead. After 6 years of working on this place and the encouragement of a dear friend to "just give it a try," we decided to open our gates to others in January of 2009 with our first Chicken Workshop.
And now, with official guest rooms in the farm house, we invite you to come and spend a weekend at our Rusticators Outpost. Come and experience homestead living first hand!
Our greatest desire and motivation is to help others in their quest for learning – providing a "hands-on" classroom, and to offer a place of quiet respite from the craziness of life. We want young and old to leave this place feeling refreshed in spirit, rejuvenated, and perhaps inspired to make efforts to be a little more independent in their lifestyle and food choices.
We welcome you to come by and see what hard work, sweat, and a lot of prayers have accomplished here at the Lazy B Farm!

The Human Spirit in Nature
Situated on the Murie Ranch Historic District within Grand Teton National Park, the Murie Family Collection contains original artwork, writings, photographs, books and other items documenting the remarkable history of the Muries. Constant advocates for wild places, the Muries brought a scientific and philosophical approach to their work emphasizing not only the intangible value of the wild areas they studied, but also the inspirational, restorative qualities of nature and the power of human connections to foster change. Note, if you are able to visit us at The Murie Center, one can see these exhibits in-person on display in the Muries' home.
Exhibit #1: Nature and Diversity Reflected by the work and words of Olaus J. Murie
"Perhaps it is not even proper to speak of 'elk management' by itself. It needs to be integrated with management of other species, for the elk is only one member of the fauna."
Olaus J. Murie was at once a naturalist, scientist, artist, author and leader in the conservation movement. Olaus' early studies in zoology and wildlife biology informed his later political influence and philosophical approach to nature, characterized by an experiential emphasis on the intangible value of wilderness. Diversity in the natural world shaped Olaus' thinking during a time period when ecology was a fledgling field of study in the United States and the interrelationships within wild habitats were not realized by the larger scientific community. In his landmark 1951 publication, The Elk of North America, Olaus frames his ideas by exploring notions of interdependence and balance within ecosystems.
"I think we should go beyond proving the rights of animals to live in utilitarian terms. Why don't we just admit we like having them around? Isn't that answer enough? Don't we realize that something exciting and satisfying will be gone from the world if we no longer hear coyotes howling? And surely some of the meaning and mystery of the night will be destroyed if we kill all the great horned owls."*
Olaus' writings reflect an awareness of his readership: fellow naturalists, sportsmen, dude ranchers, and photographers, among others who viewed the natural world in terms of its myriad potential uses. However, his philosophy reveals a deeper truth, that the brilliant diversity of nature has intrinsic value completely separate from its tangible, quantifiable output or ability to be used.
*Note: The owl in this print is a Great Grey Owl, not a Great Horned Owl.
"Whether it be a wide unspoiled landscape that inspires us, or the beauty of the humble little wildflower at our feet, the fact remains that we need inspiration to go forward."
By recognizing the interconnections within wild habitats, Olaus revealed the significance of variety in nature. This small selection of paintings reflects Olaus' representations of diversity and his ability to construct a grand vision of the natural world while remaining attentive to the small details of the wildlife, plants and birds he devoted his life to studying. Perhaps most striking about Olaus' work is that throughout his scientific endeavors, his speeches, publications and leadership roles, in the midst of his vibrant family life and avid conservation work, he remained an artist, eager to pause and contemplate the splendor of his surroundings, allowing nature's diversity to serve as a grounding and motivating force.

Exhibit #2: Nature, Individuality and the Public Good: The 50th Anniversary of the 1964 Wilderness Act
1964 Wilderness Act Pen
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Wilderness Act into law on September 3, 1964. Both practical and philosophical in its message, the Act was largely conceived here on the Murie Ranch by Howard Zahniser, a friend and colleague of the Muries who managed The Wilderness Society's Washington, D.C. Headquarters 1945-1964, while Olaus J. Murie directed The Society 1945-1962 from Western Headquarters on the Murie Ranch in Moose, Wyoming. The Wilderness Act of 1964 established the National Wilderness Preservation System, adding a layer of protection to wild areas within federal, public lands to prevent "permanent improvements or human habitation." At the time of its passage, the law created 54 federal Wilderness Areas in 13 states, totaling 9.1 million acres. Since passage of the Act, roughly 100 million acres have been added, and today, the national wilderness system includes more than 106 million acres. Every president has signed legislation adding land to the National Wilderness Preservation System; so far, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation designating the most Wilderness areas.
Howard Zahniser completed his first draft of the Wilderness Act in 1956. In 1959, Olaus offered his thoughts on the potential of the Bill in a letter to The Wilderness Society Council:
"Let us consider the Wilderness Bill. The very fact that such a bill can gain the support and at least the interest of so much of Congress is an encouraging sign. A number of members have said that they regret that the bill has been so much watered down, that so many concessions have been made to meet objections of certain administrators. But let us feel happy over the fact that in the many hearings we have had the nature of the opposition to the wilderness idea has been brought into the open. The opposition has been largely by organizations, who see in wilderness preservation, or say they do, a threat to the unlimited expansion of their particular commercial desires… On the other hand, numerous individuals have supported the bill sincerely, and because they sincerely believe in the wilderness philosophy. And many of these individuals are in the occupations represented by organizations which oppose the legislation… I do not want to rely entirely on federal legislation. We have seen through the years how good legislation, which arose in the minds of high thinking people, has been interpreted to fit the ideas of those who want it to be converted to their own ambitions, and thus trample on the original idealistic impulse. To me, this Congressional attempt to make a long standing worthy human impulse become one of the high minded national aspirations, whether or not it succumbs to the various materialistic pressures, has served as an important way of focusing national attention on this opportunity to enrich the lives of individual people."*
President Lyndon B. Johnson Signs the 1964 Wilderness Act
Tragically, neither Olaus Murie nor Howard Zahniser lived to witness the Act's passage; instead, widows Alice Zahniser and Mardy Murie attended the ceremony during which President Johnson signed the Act into law. The 1964 Wilderness Act demonstrates the tremendous power of individuals to influence the public good, the potential of the wilderness philosophy to "enrich the lives of individual people" and the necessity of actions grounded in a long term vision of our relationship with the natural world. The eloquent and philosophical quality of the Act also reflects the inspirational spirit of the Murie Ranch, reminding us that time spent in nature can serve as a wellspring for lasting deeds of altruism.
Please visit the Murie Ranch to see the pen used by President Lyndon B. Johnson to sign the 1964 Wilderness Act (on display through October 1, 2014).

Exhibit #3: Nature and Journal Writing George Schaller's 1956 Sheenjek Expedition Journal
"June 4. What a country – you sweat and pant going up the hills but right at your feet flows ice water to refresh you. Ice water with a slight mossy flavor, you drink and then once again move upward. Nothing can be more delicious than a combination like that."
On May 30, 1956, young field biologist George Schaller embarked from Fairbanks, Alaska to the Upper Sheenjek River in the Brooks Range. Schaller joined Olaus J. Murie, Margaret (Mardy) Murie, ornithologist Brina Kessel and biologist Bob Krear to explore and survey the pristine Arctic wilderness, much of which was yet unmapped by the United States Geological Survey. Conducted during the summer of 1956, research from the expedition was pivotal in protecting the area from development. President Dwight Eisenhower initially designated eight million acres of the Brooks Range as the Arctic National Wildlife Range in 1960, and in 1980, the protected land was expanded to 19 million acres through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), which re-designated the area as part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Sheenjek Expedition was a feat of determination, collaboration and advocacy. Along with the naturalists and biologists who remained for the entire summer, others including U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice William O. Douglas joined the expedition for shorter segments. Douglas' association with the Muries was vital in the initial designation of the Arctic National Wildlife Range.
"July 21. Another beautiful day. All morning I wrote up diary [sic], sitting in the sun. Last night the temperature had dropped to 24°, a low for summer. It must have killed lots of mosquitoes. I too took pictures of ground squirrels. Some are tame enough to approach to within 6 feet, others are somewhat wilder. But it took 2 weeks of just living here before they even would come out when we were around. The day slipped by swiftly without I having [sic] accomplished much it seemed. Seven days away from camp and there sure are a lot of notes to be caught up."
George Schaller's journal offers a vibrant account of daily life during the 1956 Sheenjek Expedition. The details he records contribute to our scientific understanding of the natural world, offer concrete justification for wilderness advocacy and provide a foundation for the grander philosophical threads of a wilderness ethic that would guide conservation leaders for decades to come. As Schaller noted later in life, on the Sheenjek Expedition, Olaus J. Murie taught him that "the collection of scientific facts is only the first step of a long process to give work meaning and value."*
"June 18. Do not lose your opportunities and do not allow yourselves to be carried away by the superficial rush and scramble which is modern life. What a glorious world, unnumbered realms ahead of you, hidden behind the mists of the morning. As you move on, new islands appear mountain-summits shoot up through the clearing mists, one behind the other… Sail beyond the sunset and roam the universe. What a joyous thing to see the day dawning and to know that you are bound on a voyage to new realms. You laugh at the risks and smile at the dangers … Rooted deep in the nature of every one of us is the spirit of adventure, the call of the wild – vibrating under all our actions, making life deeper and higher and nobler."- Schaller's recalled quotation of Fridtjof Nansen
In each landscape, Schaller illuminates a plethora of flora, fauna and experience, a splendid interconnected ecosystem pulsing with vitality and beauty. He also records the frequent difficulties presented by studying a wild landscape. Monotonous rainy days in the tent, perilous solitary field excursions, wild animal encounters and the tedious necessity of field reports all breathe authenticity into his account. While remaining rich in scientific detail, Schaller's journal contains meditations on the human condition; a summer exploring the Brooks Range offered the young naturalist profound lessons not only about the natural world, but also about the grand adventure of life.
"July 18. It was another gray day with rain, good for walking. I camped on a willow-covered gravel bar and as I lay there in this unnamed valley, cooking out of an old tin can, lying there scroungy and dirty, yet feeling so complete and happy, I knew that these were the golden days of my life. That never before and never after will I have the opportunity to be so free, so without immediate obligations and responsibilities, as these days up here on the Sheenjek. No worry, except those minor ones which man always makes for himself, nothing but the land and I. It was wonderful."

Exhibit #4: Nature, Art and Creativity
"On the [struck: ice] west side of the island is considerable open water with very rough ice all around it. Here we found a large flock of ducks; I believe eiders. Wetunnok called them "Metiuk." They swam about and sat on the ice, and I heard their droning call, a kind of hum with rising inflection, seemingly answered by another in a descending tone. It was a beautiful scene, the deep blue water encircled by the white rough ice, a few blocks and miniature bergs floating about all casting a glimmering reflection in the water. The eiders perched on the ice, some swimming about, while out in the middle on an ice block, sentinel like, stood the glaucous gulls, a picture to remember." – Olaus J. Murie, Excerpts from bird notes of Olaus J. Murie
Through close and detailed observation, the Muries drew information and inspiration from nature, and for Olaus J. Murie, scientific study and artistic creativity converged. As Margaret (Mardy) Murie wrote about Olaus in her book Two in the Far North, "As for Olaus, he wore his packsack like a part of his anatomy, for he had to carry his notebook, color pencils for sketching, extra films, and numerous containers and papers for collecting all kinds of scats, or droppings." Olaus himself articulated the importance of both artistic and scientific pursuits for a well-balanced life; in the foreword of his brother Adolph Murie's book, A Naturalist in Alaska, Olaus noted, "What is much needed today is more mutual respect among the exponents of science, philosophy, esthetics, and sociology. Although we are beginning to think in terms of human ecology, it is now time that we recognize all elements of the good life and give them the emphasis they deserve."

"Our aim is education of the people to the values in wilderness, so that they will want to preserve what little we have left in our country, for scientific, esthetic, educational, inspirational, reasons … Our concern is Wilderness preservation … Our organizational structure is very simple: Because I could not consider living in a city, I took the position as Director of the Society on a part time salary basis so that I could continue to live in Jackson Hole! Mrs. Murie and I carry on as much work as we can manage from our office here in our home and maintain a sort of western headquarters of the Society. The rest of the staff, under the guidance of Howard Zahniser as Executive Secretary, carry on the routine and other work of the Society in our Washington office." – Olaus J. Murie to George K. Dern, 5 February 1961
Olaus J. Murie's leadership of The Wilderness Society was marked by his democratic defense of wild lands. Constantly testifying, speaking and writing to protect areas facing a multitude of threats ranging from development to natural resource extraction, the Muries advocated the idea that "A democratic society … should respect the rights of the few 'who seek the solitude of primitive forest,'" not necessarily those who most frequently use the wilderness for myriad recreational activities. In this philosophy, we find a counterbalance to the maelstrom of modern life and a sense of inclusion; the efforts of the Muries and The Wilderness Society to protect primitive areas extends the notion of community based on the concept that wild lands are preserved for everyone, remaining intact for the greater good. The Wilderness Society sign marked the entrance to the Murie Ranch during the period when Olaus served as the Society's Director from the mid-1940s to the early 1960s. Found buried in the ground several years ago on the Murie Ranch and now part of the Murie Family Collection, the sign ties together threads from the past in a tangible way, demonstrating the significance of historical objects and the stories that surround them.

March's Birthstone - Aquamarine March 14 2016, 0 Comments
Continuing with my birthstone series, if you are born in March then your stone of choice should be an aquamarine. This stone is a member of the same mineral family as emerald and morganite.
The name comes from the Latin aqua marina, water of the sea. The most valuable colour is darkish blue, similar to a very pale sapphire, although there are various different shades. Aquamarine has been highly valued in jewellery for a long time, aqua coloured glass pieces intended to imitate this stone have been found which were at least 2,000 years old.
Aquamarine is said to calm thoughts and help emotional and physical balance.
I don't offer aquamarine as a standard option for any of my rings as it's a slightly more expensive stone and more complex to purchase, but would be very happy to quote any item you are interested in.
Last year when I published a post on aquamarine I had just purchased an irregular parcel of stones, one of which is in this gold teardrop ring above.
I also have a silver ring on my bench waiting for one of these stones, keep an eye on my instagram for an image later in the week.

Needless to say, this also applies to the less accessible locations such as the radii in the curves, the rectangular mitered joints or the transitions from the handle to its supports. Always apparent is the high quality of workmanship and a special regard for fine detail.Strictly controlled quality management ensures the highest functional and visual standards
DORMA has defined its own, stringent demands according to which we continuously check the quality of our pull handles.These go beyond compliance with exacting technical parameters such as pull-off forces, or compression and tensile loads under continuous operating conditions. Craftsmanship and appearance are also consistently examined against our high standards.Quality products
Only once a product has met our exacting quality requirements does it earn the right to be called a DORMA pull handle. And once fitted, DORMA pull handles are also rightly expected to perform to the highest level, ensuring the safe absorption of pressures and tensile forces through their sophisticated fixing systems – which, incidentally, also facilitate fast and easy installation on virtually any door. In short, with DORMA pull handles, customers can be sure to reap all the benefits that accrue from a quality product.Classic pull handle

The Birth of Civilization
Humans settled in small communities now that they could produce their own food.
The beginning of agriculture began the Neolithic Age
Lasted until about 2000 B.C.E.
There were times of instability between each period
Having 2 cities that are so alike indicates a strong central government with good economic and communication systems
Dasas were excluded
This was a precursor to the rigid Indian caste system
Zhou Dynasty lasted until the late 3rd century B.C.E.
The rough nomads had become civilized
By 8th century B.C.E., Zhou Dynasty was in decline. Control diminished. Rebellions occurred
Out of this chaos came some of China's greatest thinkers

Chesterfield advanced as one of 16 regional winners to the national stage of the ECB's premier cup competition, Royal London Cup, after a tense final against Doncaster.
A weakened bowling attack caused Chesterfield to put the Yorkshire Premier Club in to bat with the intention of containing a powerful side, and the ploy largely succeeded, although it was into the 12th over before the opening stand was broken by Brian Gladwin with the score on 57.
With bowlers limited to nine overs apiece, Chesterfield kept rotating the bowling before second change Sam Lang took the valuable wicket of Felix Odell who was caught for 46 with the score on 96 and the young leg spinner soon had a second success as Doncaster slipped to 119-3 after 28 of the allocated 45 overs.
The containing strategy continued to work well with disciplined bowling and some outstanding fielding on the large Town Fields ground and there was no respite for Doncaster as they attempted to increase the scoring rate against David Adams and Barney Kirk, both of whom had been drafted in to cover for unavailable regulars.
Kirk had the key wicket of Stuart Guy (52) who was well held just inside the boundary by Gladwin and after Rhys Mann was run out by Simon Lacey for 29, Adams deceived Alex Gosney to have the Town captain stumped by Drage Thompson for 21.
Chesterfield kept the clamp on to restrict Doncaster to 207-6 with Lang's 2-33 off nine overs being the best of a series of good bowling figures.
After a brisk start Chesterfield's good progress was derailed by the loss of three quick wickets, one of which was leading run scorer Ben Slater for a fluent 29 that included four fours and a six.
At 42-3 and Doncaster rampant Chesterfield's chances of victory had receded but the fourth wicket pairing of Thompson and Matt Fletcher set about repairing the damage in a calm and methodical manner maintaining a good scoring rate with excellent running between the wickets interspersed with occasional boundaries.
Doncaster toiled without success for an hour and a half as the partnership blossomed with the pair looking to have won the game for Chesterfield by adding 126 and taking their side to within 40 of the winning target with eight overs remaining.
But Thompson was caught out for 65 and Fletcher was run out for 57 making for a tense finish as Doncaster suddenly scented victory.
In a frantic scramble for runs Lacey scored an invaluable 15 as wickets fell at the other end before Andy McCarroll struck the winning runs with just three balls to spare.
Odell's 3-48 was the best of the bowling returns for Doncaster. Chesterfield's reward is a tie against York, winners of the North Yorkshire and Durham region, with the winners progressing to the quarter finals of the national cup.
CHESTERFIELD 174 a/o
Sunday's success in the national cup was in sharp contrast to a thumping defeat at the hands of reigning Derbyshire Premier champions Swarkestone just 24 hours earlier.
Chesterfield looked to have established a firm grip on the game dismissing former Derbyshire players Garry Park and Jake Needham as Swarkestone slumped to 120-5, with Brian Gladwin taking three of the wickets to fall.
But two current county players changed the course of events with an hour and a quarter of carnage as 190 runs were blazed to all parts of the ground and far beyond.
Lancashire's Wayne White was eventually out for 90 but Derbyshire's Tom Knight finished undefeated on 103 with seven fours and seven sixes as Swarkestone closed on 319-6 inflicting the fourth highest ever total conceded by Chesterfield in 14 years of Premier League cricket.
Chesterfield opened with 60 at the required rate before Mykylo Bird (28) was the first of four successes for the medium paced Bruce Dilks as Chesterfield collapsed with Ben Slater's valiant 85 the only innings of note in an all out total of 174.
The margin of the 145-run defeat was mirrored by the points allocation with Chesterfield's five in sharp contrast to Swarkestone's 27, leaving them at the top of the league and Chesterfield down to sixth.
Chesterfield are back at Queen's Park with a league game against eighth placed Denby on Saturday before travelling to Caythorpe for a Premier Cup game on Sunday.

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to address the problems caused by spelling and naming variations. The BGN will usually recognize an existing name or, when necessary, establish a name for a geographic feature (such as a mountain, lake, river, stream, city, town, village, dam, bridge, etc).
The BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and it is the official Federal repository. The GNIS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
A unique and permanent number has been assigned for each name in the GNIS database. These names and identifiers are definitive and it is intended that they are to be used by all departments of the Federal Government:
GNIS ID for Klery Creek: 1413355
GNIS ID for Alaska: 1785533
An important aspect of the GNIS code is that it assigns a GPS location (the latitude/longitude) to the geographic feature. This location is simply a point on the map and does not represent the size or shape of the feature. In the case of Klery Creek, it is a point within Klery Creek that might be a post office, the city hall or simply an intersection - the point should really be considered arbitrary and only indicating a general location.
For Klery Creek, the GNIS GPS location is given as:
Lat: 67° 10' 45" (or 67.2°)
Lon: -160° 24' 11" (or -160.4°) [Map]
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Klery Creek is located in Region #4 (the West Region).
In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Klery Creek is located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Klery Creek is located in Region X (Region 10).
GNIS ID #1413355 (Name of Record: Klery Creek)
Class: populated place
A place or area having clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent population (such as a city, settlement, town or village). The boundaries may or may not coincide with the perceived population.
A 'populated place' record may have a corresponding 'census' or 'civil' record. The information contained in the 'populated place' record applies only to the class and should not be confused with either the 'census' and 'civil' classes.

Map Name: Baird Mountains A-3

FIPS Code: 02/40440 (Place Name: Klery Creek)
County: Northwest Arctic (FIPS State/County: 02/188)

|Celebrate the life of George
Welcome to this website which we have set up to honor my husband George L Wong. Yes, I said we as it would not have happened without the input of my daughters Leah & Rachelle. My husband had a long & full life which he lived with gusto. He travelled the world and had some awesome experiences along the way. I worked with him for decades in his office where he treated, helped & performed surgery on many patients. It was well known that he had a following of patients, his very own fan club. He was respected and honored for his medical expertise many times.
His most important accomplishment however, was having his 6 children and knowing that they completed University. All of them growing up to become good citizens, husbands, wives and parents making him a Grandfather; filled with pride.
He so loved his sons and daughters & their spouses, Kenn Looten & Fran Zinger, Larry Wong & Ann Wong, David Wong & Ann Wong, Robert Wong & Peggy Wong, Leah Salazar & Daniel Salazar and Rachelle Thompson & Randy Thompson.
As George's health failed he was in an assited living facility here in AZ. He was in a home cared for by Gina & Dan Angel. Yes, they were his angels. It is very quiet & empty without him. Keep him in your prayers & all of us as well. Thank you for your love & concern.
As George requested there will be no formal memorial service. In lieu of flowers, we are accepting donations in our grandson Kai's memorial fund as George wanted. The donation site is http://teamhistio.kintera.org/2013finish4kai.
Please join us by posting memories, pictures, and stories about George.
A Husband, Brother, Doctor, Pilot, Business Man, Father of 6, Grandfather of 14 & Friend of many... Although his accomplishments began with being the first Chinese-Canadian to graduate medicine from the University of Alberta in retrospect his greatest impact was his influence with family & friends. Those who knew George know his love for Chinese food and all things Chinese. You never left his presence hungry. His culinary skills in wonton folding, stir-fry & egg roll wrapping were shared with many. He had a way with words & coined many phrases. "YELLO!" "You can fix anything with Duct-Tape or Crazy Glue." He made money fall from trees & magically left coins anywhere he sat. His favorite color was RED. He had an affinity for large Lincolns. His love of travel brought him from Russia to China to Australia & all across the US & Canada. George could sleep anywhere & in any position. He enjoyed extremely HOT baths & never took the elevator in the hospital. On an any given day, George would leave for "just a minute", several hours later just as dinner was being served he would arrive. In his eyes, he was the master fix-it man. On his 90th birthday, he was truely surprised by all his family. His summers in Grand Bend became a delight after retirement. He enjoyed spoiling his granddaughters with ice cream for breakfast and many walks downtown. Thousands of miles were spent on road trips with his eyes shut, especially when taking the "senic route".
"Seems like only yesterday you were still with us. We lite a candle at church on Christmas Eve in your memory George. The kids like playing with fire in church no. less. Your imprint on all our lives is forever. Keon barely knew you but has so many of your mannerisms Yes, forever missed and always in our prayers. Love Mary"
"Time passes as memories endure. Often think of things in the context of " if Dad were here ... or wouldn't dad and mom be so proud (of young Taylor and Ryan) ....remember when ( we flew to Lucknow ) , dad would have liked ( this car ) " . As a number of our friends parents are passing, reminds me more of what is embodied in "family" . Good times ,fun times, character developing times, lessons learned, rough times , thoughtful times...... all cherished times Remembering the good times , remembering to pass on parts of your legacy . Thoughts this Day ... son David"
"As we observe George and Mary's family grow and thrive in happiness, we give thanks for having them in our lives. A remarkable testimony to Mary and George as loving nourishing parents. We are blessed.
Shirley and Pascal LaRouche"
"Everyday I think about you,I may have known you for 7 years but that was not enough. I miss you so much and wish you were here but atleast I know you are in a better place. I may have been young but I knew you were a great man and I love you so much. You will forever be in my heart<3 "Teya"
"Miss you every day in one way or another. It has been sometime since your death but it is still seems like yesterday. Always in our prayers"
"It's hard to believe a year has past without Dad here with us. We miss you everyday and keep your memory alive in our hearts. Wish you were here to see the girls and how they've grow so much this year. We are doing our best to teach them all the life's lessons you instilled in us. In loving memory,
"Hello Mary and family members of George
As you know Mary, George was my teacher,my instructor, and my friend.
Over the years I looked forward to his letters and his midnight calls I miss his advice,his counsel and his suggestions on life and medicine God Bless"
"Dear Mary:
We are sorry for George's passing. Each person has their time but he is with the Father, as we will all be some day.
George passed knowing he was loved.
In love and light,
Margaret Rose and Tom"
"From Margaret Rose and Tom Verenka (Calgary)
Dear Kenn, Larry, David, Robbie, Leah, Rachelle:
Words are so inadequate to express my sorrow in your father's passing. He was a good man.George showed great compassion and understanding with everyone he met. He was a man who could relate to all generations and took joy in people he met along life's journey.He was a role-model and inspiration to others."
"From: Henry and Aleida Hendriks
Sorry for your loss, and i look forward to seeing you thins summer."
"George always delighted in our happiness when we were all gathered together, even though he would often have a little nap. There was nothing better than gathering for Chinese food, and he would usually end up in the kitchen of the Hoo Hoo or Chopstick house to make sure it was the best. Mum would serve it up and there were smiles and stories shared. We will miss your love and kindness."
"Deepest sympathy to you and family at this time. I never met him but knowing you I know he must have been a marvelous man. All the best to you and your family.
Kevin Kirkpatrick"
"My deepest sympathy to Mary, Leah, Rachelle,and all his family members. My own life was enriched by George. I am grateful to have known him. I extend my love and affection to you during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. George will forever live on in the loving kindness of his family."
"Dear Mary and Family, George was a remarkable man and father. A self-made man, he pursued a full education and eventual graduation from medical school. A hignly regarded ENT surgeon, he helped Maman;"He made the buzzing go away in my ear."! Your Dad, husband and Gung Gung was very proud of you."
"Hugs of sympathy to Mary, Leah & Daniel, Jazzy & Teya, Rachelle & Randy, Jade & Keon. My fondest memory of George shows how he loved to share his Chinese heritage - and how persuasive he could be. He took this even to the point of convincing me to eat chicken feet with him in Chinatown, Toronto! He & Anne, our Chinese granddaughter, shared a special bond which will be deeply missed."
"A Man With A Great Sense Of Humor!
Posted by Eric Kernohan, David Mason (family friends) On Friday, December 28, 2012
Dear Mary, Leah and Rachelle:
We are sorry to hear of George's passing.
He will be truly remembered as a great guy with a super sense of humor. Over the past years Grand Bend was never quite the same as George hadn't made the long trip from Arizona and we missed seeing him. I am"
"My thoughts are with you, Mary, Leah, Rachelle and families in George's passing. He had a very fulfilling and respected life and he will be sadly missed. We always enjoyed his kind words and sense
of humor. Thinking of you at this difficult time.
Sandy Kieswetter"
"Mary, Leah and Rachelle,
Didn't have the good fortune to know George, but from this memorial website, I can see how his love, intellect, personality and family life contributed to making Mary such a valuable and wonderful woman and mom and wife. Blessings on you all--I know you will miss him.
Love, Vangie Song"
"A remarkable husband, father, doctor and friend! George will be missed by us all. I still have my pierced ears thanks to George's expertise many years ago."
"From Josie and Don Toogood:
Mary, Leah, Rachelle and Families: Mary we are so sory to hear of Georges passing. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. So many beautiful photo's of great family times & a life well lived. Lots of love your Grand Bend neighbours. Don and Josie Toogood"
"Mary,boys,Leah and Rachel
my many of George are to many to list here,Grand Bend, having him as a guest after his eye surgery,the Hoo Hoo, I know if Glen was still living he would add so many more. he wasa friend for over 50 years. My prayers and condolences to you Mary and the rest of the family"
"What a wonderful way to honor a very special man. George always had a smile on his face. He will continue smiling down on all of us. I'm so grateful to have known him, even more grateful for the wonderful family he gave us. Love you all so much & my prayers are with you during this difficult time."
"My thoughts are with you and your family during this time...I send my Biggest Hugs to you all! Such a sweet man! Had the warmest smile!"
"To all, our deepest sympathy and utmost respect and regard for George's life and love of family. As the angels in Heaven welcome him may they also hold you all in their light and heal your sorrow.

text: Hope someone can help. I have an exchange on hold til Feb 8 for a 2 bedroom at the Royal Mayan in Cancun. This will use 218 points as we will be exchanging a Sept week at OKW. We have the points to use because we had to cancel our trip last year. My question is..is it ever possible to exchange weeks at Hilton Head for the World Passport Collection? This would use a lot less points if one could reserve an early December or January week there. I will keep the exchange for the Mayan because these points "expire" at the end of September(1999 pts) but for future reference, will they accept weeks at HHI for exchange? Dean, you seem to be the expert at all of this. Do you know the answer? Thanks and Sorry this was so long... Kim

It is natural for everyone to want to live forever. So death is an eventuality you have to face. Instead of being irresponsible and not planning for it, it's always better to plan for death with a funeral insurance policy. This way, you know your death does not burden your loved ones. How can I get Life Insurance for my parents?
Of course, you don't actually require funeral insurance if you have lots of money to leave to your loved ones, which they can use to cover your funeral costs.
However this is not something everyone is lucky enough to have.
Moreover, if you do have some extra cash or assets, instead of making your loved ones use it to pay for your funeral costs, it's better to have a funeral insurance policy they can use to take care of your funeral costs. This way, you can leave your estate intact for them to enjoy.
Enjoy retirement with no worries
If you have a funeral insurance policy, you can enjoy your retirement days with your loved ones, especially if you have health problems. This is because you know your insurance will take care of all your funeral expenses if and when you die.
Of course, you need not get funeral insurance if you want to have your children pay for your funeral expenses. While some people think that as they had taken care of their children's tuition classes and met their needs when their children were small, their children should now bear their funeral expenses. However this is not how most parents look at things.
Most parents today prefer to have sufficient money ready for their funeral expenses and don't want their children to pick up their final tab.
Funeral insurance is not a fraud
One reason why most people don't get funeral insurance is because they think it is a fraud as they think that the policy entails high premiums and pays only under some circumstances. However this is false as funeral insurance companies follow the same criteria for calculating its premiums like any other life insurance policy.
Moreover, the policy pays only if and when the insured person passes away, not before it. So as long as you pay your premium amounts, and do not give false information in your application, no funeral insurance company can refuse or cancel your insurance claim payment.
So now that all your doubts and misconceptions about funeral insurance has been eradicated, you may as well get yourself a policy and keep yourself financially independent even after your death.
Can I get Life Insurance for my parents?
Yes, you can.
You will be the owner of the policy, pay the premiums, and also be the beneficiary of the death proceeds.
Usually this is okay as long as the child can prove an insurable interest. This is 100% legal, but will require approval by the insurance company.
An insurable interest means that the child would be somehow financially affected by the death of his or her parents. So if your parents have a big mortgage on their home, and you don't want to inherit their debt, life insurance may be in order. Or if you are responsible for your parents funeral and burial arrangements, life insurance may be used for this.
Mintco Financial is the leading independent company that specializes in Life Insurance for Seniors.
Seniors up to 89 years old can be insured depending on which State the policy will be issued.

If you happened to be awake in the 11pm hour last night (ET), you may have noticed something odd happened. We posted a link to a fundraising page on Facebook & Twitter and then - with no warning - removed all links to it.
You'd be forgiven for thinking this was a mistake… maybe we posted too soon, maybe there was a glitch, maybe the link was wrong or maybe we changed our minds.
The real story, however, is a little less obvious but completely amazing, even to us.
We're in the final steps of finishing the establishment of SPART*A. Along the way, we've run into the costs that come with that process including the website, an email provider and accounting & legal services. We've thus far been able to handle most of those costs on our own. We discovered last week, however, that the final hurdle was much larger than we realized. To file for 501(c)3 status with the IRS, we face a filing fee of up to $850. We decided it was time to raise money from the membership.
There was no guarantee it would work, but we knew our members were ready to support us and it was time to ask for help. So, we set up a fundraising page, explained our need, and published the link.
And then… it happened. Within an hour a single donor, someone who identifies as a military veteran and member of SPART*A, placed the full amount into our hands.
We were amazed. And stunned. It was an incredible moment as we quickly began trying to figure out who this angel was and how we could thank them. As we learned more, we were moved by their story and it gave us a fresh boost of confidence and momentum after realizing how tired this process has made some of us. Shortly after, we pulled down the link because we had reached our goal.
SPART*Ans, you are amazing. You've followed us for so many reasons and supported us through this hectic and fast-paced process of starting a membership-based organization in under three months. So we'd like to take a moment and thank not only the angel who stepped up immediately - but all of you who put your trust in us to build something you can be proud to be a part of. The journey is just beginning, but the vehicle we'll take together is almost complete.
Here's to you, and here's to "getting it done."

No, but seriously, thank you SPART*Ans. You really are amazing.

Making the announcement, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose country currently occupies the rotating presidency, said the exceptional summit in Brussels will be in the format of an EU leaders' dinner in Brussels and will come after two weeks of consultations between Stockholm and the other EU capitals.
To be decided are the positions of the new president of the European Council and EU foreign relations chief, as well as the appointment of a new secretary general of the Council, the Brussels-based institution which prepares member states' day-to-day meetings.
In plenary in Brussels on Wednesday (11th), MEPs and group leaders had their change to say what they wanted from these appointments. In the debate, concerns were voiced about the timetable for appointing candidates, their qualifications, and issues gender equality. Here are some of the highlights:
Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) spoke most openly about the appointments stating his belief that the position of the President of Council should be filled by "somebody who believes in EU integration, is not a eurosceptic, and believes in the community method which takes Europe forward."
"If you want to appoint a Pope, you choose a Catholic", he jovially remarked.
Hannes Swoboda (AT), on behalf of the S&D group, was concerned with the gender question and asked "are you ready to talk to the Heads of State to ensure that we have a gender and a geographical balance [in the Commission] and are you prepared to ensure that there are powerful ladies involved?"
Joseph Daul (EPP, FR) also spoke on this issue, strongly advising Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso that "once the Member States have designated their candidates [for Commissioners posts] you should move as quickly as possible to establish their portfolios, so that they can be heard by the EP in hearings which we want to be as in-depth as possible."
Rebecca Harms (Greens/EFA, DE) lamented the fact there "is as yet no sign of any strong men or women coming forward", while Timothy Kirkhope (ECR, UK) used his allotted time to suggest that "some [government leaders] are even trying to divide the European Union into two classes of citizens, by saying that only individuals coming from Member States in the Schengen area and the Eurozone should be eligible."
Dismissing the summit's objectives all-together, Lothar Bisky (GUE/NGL, DE) argued "it would be a good idea if the Heads of State and Governments were to use the summit for [rather] more practical and concrete politics."
With so much for the heads of State and Government leaders to discuss and decide, one wonders whether they will have time to eat. But regardless of the names that emerge from the meeting, it will be another significant day in the history of the European Union.
Remember, remember the 19th of November...
