text: Not Winter Camping? Why Not!By Karen Berger Here are five great winter trips that range from the top of Texas to sleeping inside a yurt. A yurt? What the heck is a yurt? 1. Hiking in Ocala National Forest, Florida About 65 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail cross the forest. The Ocala segment is one of the trail's highlights, home to a wide diversity of subtropical plants and animals. Winter temperatures average in the 50's and can climb into the 70's. However, bring a three-season sleeping bag and clothing that can be layered for the rare nights when temperatures dip into the 30's. Winter is deer hunting season, so be sure to wear blaze-orange vests. The basics: Located between Gainesville and Orlando. Florida Highway 40 bisects the forest. www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/guide/regions/crossflorida/trails/ocala_nat_forest.htm; www.fs.fed.us/r8/florida/. 2. Snowshoeing or Cross-Country Skiing in State Forest State Park, Colorado Yurts are round, tented, temporary dwellings originally used by nomads on the steppes of Asia. In the United States, they've gained popularity as simple, environmentally friendly guesthouses. In Colorado's State Forest State Park, yurts offer a welcome refuge for snowshoers and skiers traveling through the northern part of the state's aptly named Never Summer Range and the western side of the Medicine Bow Mountains. These circular canvas-and-wood structures, each built on a wooden deck, are located between a quarter mile and three miles from the trailhead. Once you arrive, there are plenty more trails to explore. Facilities include a woodstove, beds and mattress pads, cooking equipment (including a propane cookstove, pots, pans, dishes, and silverware), a lantern, and an outhouse. The yurts can sleep between five and nine people in beds, plus two or three more on floor pads. The basics: Located on Colorado Highway 14, two hours west of Fort Collins. www.neversummernordic.com, http://parks.state.co.us/Parks/stateforest. Yurts and cabins are rented in their entirety. $60 to $160 a night, depending on the facility and the date. 3. Hiking or Snowshoeing in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia Shenandoah National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the country. It boasts the famed Skyline Drive, which runs parallel to the Appalachian Trail for the length of the park. But in winter, the crowds are gone, leaving Shenandoah to a smattering of hikers who don't mind a bit of chill. This is a great place to satisfy your appetite for winter hiking. Snow levels vary tremendously: After a big storm and a long cold spell, you might be wading through the white stuff, especially at the higher elevations. But during warmer winters, the ground may be bare or covered with only light snow. Temperatures can fall into the 20's or, occasionally, even lower, but you won't experience the subzero chills of mountains farther north. Winter also offers more expansive views, as the largely deciduous forest drops its leaves to reveal more of the surrounding landscape. Best of all, the Appalachian Trail system of shelters provides cold-weather hikers a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Be prepared, however, by always carrying emergency shelter with you. This is in case you can't make it to the next lean-to on the trail or the unlikely possibility that another group has arrived before you and claimed all the space. Skyline Drive is sometimes closed in winter due to snow. Call for current conditions. The basics: Located slightly more than an hour's drive west of Washington D.C. www.nps.gov/shen/. Contact the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, www.appalachiantrail.org, for trail information and news about shuttle service schedules to the trailheads. 4. Cross-Country Skiing in Methow Valley, Washington Located in north-central Washington, just east of the north Cascades and a five-hour drive from Seattle, Methow Valley is considered by some experts to be the finest Nordic ski area in the Northwest. The Methow Valley Sport Trails Association's network is one of the largest trail systems for cross-country skiing in the United States, with more than 120 miles of groomed ski trails of various skill levels. The system comprises three linked trail systems; hotels, lodges, and cabins are scattered through the valley, some right on the trail. The Sun Mountain system, south of the valley, has terrain of varied difficulty and is a good choice for groups of mixed abilities. Mazama's system, at the valley's northwestern side, contains flatter, easier trails coupled with dramatic landscapes, including the icicle-covered Goat Wall. But for a true backcountry experience, head for the Rendezvous system, where intermediate and advanced skiers can tackle more challenging terrain and stay in small backcountry cabins at night. You can even arrange to have your food delivered. The basics: Located 200 miles east of Seattle. Hut fees $35 per night, per person. General info: www.mvsta.com. For backcountry cabins: www.methow.com/huts/info.html. For other lodging: www.methowlodging.com/. 5. Climbing Guadalupe Peak, Texas In terms of state high points, Texas's Guadalupe Peak, elevation 8,749 feet, ranks a respectable, if Climbing Guadalupe in the so-called off-season is not only possible; you might find it preferable to slogging uphill in summer's heat. But here is fair warning: When you get near the summit, you may not escape winter entirely. January and February can produce fog, frost, high winds, and sometimes even snow. Climbing the peak is an 8.5-mile roundtrip. In addition, the Guadalupe Mountains National Park contains more than 80 miles of rugged mountain trails laced through an impressive craggy landscape. Bring binoculars to watch the park's unique combination of wildlife, which includes species from the Rocky Mountains, Mexico, and the Great Plains, including almost 300 species of birds, 60 species of mammals, and 64 species of reptiles and amphibians. The basics: Location: 110 miles from El Paso; 10 miles from the New Mexico border. www.nps.gov/gumo/. Karen Berger is the author of Backpacking and Hiking (BSA No. 34354, $20).

Keanan Duffty is one of those people who really makes you feel liked you missed out on something when he speaks of his youth. The makeup, the capes, seeing Madonna at a little dive in London. It simply isn't fair. Luckily for us he has never lost his Glam Rock/Punk/New Romantic edge and his designs harken back to the best elements of those eras. Based in New York he has been making music and fashion for over 20 years and is a very active CFDA member who never ceases to amaze us with his new projects and ideas. His collaboration with Target and David Bowie several years back sent Duffy's name into an iconic stratosphere.
Duffty's 2009 book Rebel Rebel Anti-Style was another huge success and his blog is a continuation on that dialogue of interesting people with intriguing style. Interviewing Duffty was quite a trip, from his trash bag tees to his layout in The Face and winning his wedding in a competition. A rebel if there ever was one.
Where did you grow up?
In a town called Doncaster in Yorkshire England. It's a coal mining and farming area.
What was life like in the rural world for a young punk?
It was a misspent youth! As misspent as I could make it. I was minutes from Sheffield where Human League, Pulp and many great post punk bands started so it had some great nightclubs and music venues. I would hang out there. Leeds had a good youth culture too.
What was your first intro to music?
As a really young kid I would watch TV pop shows. The glam rock thing really got into my blood. I loved both the look and the sound. But they always seemed so out of reach. You couldn't really dress like Ziggy Stardust on the streets without getting your head kicked in.
But then Punk started so you could dress a little more out there. And the music of punk was DIY so that demystified it all. You could buy an old guitar and bang around with your friends and call yourself a band.
Is that how you stared your band?
Yeah, Sordid Details was my first band when I was 14. We would play in church halls and school gyms. Surprisingly alot of people came to hear us. It was such a small town everyone wanted to know what was happening.
So your first band was punk?
The punk thing was great as a launchpad. I would cut my flares and wrap them with duct tape to make skinny jeans and make tees out of garbage bags. But it wained very fast and electronic music was starting to happen so I kind of went that route and into the New Romantic thing.
Er, was school at all in the equation Mr. Duffty?
Sure! But I always had 'party eyes' when I went into class. In the New Romantic band I was in, Wonder Stories, both of the other guys were older than me and working. We would go out in his butchers van in frilly cloaks and full makeup and I would stay at his place afterwards. I never mastered getting all the eyeliner and lipstick off.
What did people in town say?
There were so many coal miners in my town they all had this black eyeliner look even after a shower! It was the lipstick and beauty mark that they noticed on me. But it was fantastic. All these towns around England were interested in this scene so you felt part of something. New Romantics were an amalgamation of punk, glam rock and disco.
When did you move to London?
The Sunday Times Magazine used to write articles about the fabulous nightlife in London and half of the kids went to Central Saint Martins College. So I figured that was the place to go. I figured I could get a grant from the government and go to this school and study fashion and go to these clubs. I had it all figured out!
I made a portfolio and interviewed and got in. This was 1982 and it wasn't nearly as strict as it is today.
What kind of fashion were you interested in?
Street Fashion. I knew Chanel and all that but I was loving Westwood, McLauren all the UK based street designers who were dressing the bands I loved.
While I was in school I would screen print tee's and put them in my window and people would come knock on the glass and buy them.
That sounds so Dickensian Keanan!
Right? That doesn't happen anymore. Falcon Stuart was a music manager who was working with Adam Ant and X-Ray Spex and his wife was working on a book on t-shirts. They contacted me to be interviewed for the book and invited me over for dinner. He ended up asking me for a demo so I got to record in the EMI studios in Manchester Square-the same studio the Sex Pistols and Beatles recorded in. I didn't give it much mind then but I look back and realize how amazing that was.
That is epic! What happened after graduation?
I was making music all through college and was getting some good press for my music and fashion in i-D and The Face so when I graduated I started focusing on my own collection. I sold to Joseph on Sloane Square and some other shops on the Kings Road -making it all myself in my apartment. I had no idea how to have a business so I started working for a design consultancy kind of like WGSN. They had offices in New York and Tokyo and I loved the energy of New York in the early 90s- Joey Arias, Amanda Lepore and all that crowd were doing so much.
I moved here and started dabbling in music again. I actually had Amanda Lepore in one of my videos as a nurse.
When did you start your own line?
In 1998 I moved fully into my own collection. We made a line with 12 pieces in it, went to the Tranoi trade show in Paris and got great buys from some cool stores. It was great to have that freedom designing for myself. And I could still do my own music.
I feel like you were one of the first people I knew to collaborate (Reebok, Doc Marten, Aveda, Kid Robot and Medicom Toys)- what brought that on?
That came out of necessity. Paper Magazine was looking for emerging designers to do a presentation at 7th on 6th. They included me and Reebok was the sponsor so we took our shoes they gave us and customized them and Reebok loved it and suggested a collaboration. They ended up sponsoring our fashion shows for three years at Bryant Park- that was huge for us. I realized this was a smart way to do business - it was a win win situation.
And you started doing more consulting (Target among others), how did that come about?
I had been consulting since college. The money from it funded my collections but Target was one of the biggest ones. They really liked what I had to say and asked me to launch my own brand. It took a couple of years to develop and they became more design focused. We launched in 2006 and it was there for three years in 1400 doors. It was cool to reach so many people. But it spoiled me a little bit! I needed something to boost my creative hunger.
What are you working on now?
I relaunched my own line last fall and am in a couple of stores in New York. I
am keeping it small so I can continue consulting and designing and of course, making music.
You just signed with Harley Sears. Congrats!
Thanks! He is a friend of mine and has been involved with music management for a while. So we are getting some of my old music on iTunes and getting to work on some new pieces with some 80's artists we love.
I love your wife and business partner Nancy, when did you get married?
1999. We won our wedding in a competition. Nancy entered this competition in The New York Times to get married on the Empire State Building on Valentines Day. She did it on a total lark and we won. We thought it was a message from the universe and did it. We had a mariachi band and a reception at our apartment.
She has always been a business partner of sorts but recently she has gotten into reality shows as a 'fashion producer' bringing in suppliers and casting back room people and creates some of the challenges on '24 hour Catwalk' and 'The Fashion Show' with Mizrahi.
What is next for you?
More of the same! I just keep doing my thing. Sometimes you are in sync with what's happening in the world and other times you are not. But I just do what I do, it doesn't matter what's going on. There are always people out there who will understand your point of view. And I continue to scare my parents which is always fun.

Cosmetic Hearing Streamed Live on Tuesday
The Subcommittee on Health has scheduled a hearing on Tuesday, March 27, 2012, at 10:15 a.m. in room 2322 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The title of the hearing is "Examining the Current State of Cosmetics." A full witness list has yet to be announced. This hearing has been referred to as a "pre-bill" hearing. You will be able to watch the hearing live here on Tuesday at 10:15 EST.
There will be a link that shows up in the 'gray' area that says "Watch Hearing Live" and you'll be able to follow along and see what the expert witnesses and testimony says about our industry.
Bramble Berry is submitting written testimony for the hearing. Debbie May of WholesaleSuppliesPlus will be testifying, live, in front of the committee. Several other industry leaders and small businesses have also been invited to submit written testimony. It is our hope that the message of small business and our role in job creation and designing safe products is clearly communicated.

I'm new to this site and the world of soap. Do you know if this has to do with regulating the cosmetics industry and placing soap into that category like they do in Europe?
I would love to tune in! Can we have a reminder say Monday! LOL
Soap is soap and has been for generations, let's hope it stays soap. It will hurt business is my thought as some soap crafters who make lovely soap (not cosmetic soap, not soap with medical claims, no magic soap) will not want to hassle with the regulation, added costs and paperwork.
Hey that might be a win win and there might be fewer soap makers!
Unintended consequences are the hardest to sort out.
Loving soap!
Sure hope not! It'll just mean a lot of regulations and added costs. Usually the only ones able to benefit will be the large corporations. It would hurt a lot of the people in this industry that are making good soap and/or selling soap supplies. Safety is a good thing, but this is probably more about money.

We had a lovely stay at the Sofitel Auckland. We arrived Friday and were quickly impressed with the surroundings of the hotel and our room. It is a... beautiful hotel. The rooms are very nice, we were facing inwards looking in to other hotel rooms, rather than over the water, so when having a shower etc you just have to make sure you close the curtains when you walk out to change etc, otherwise you would be giving someone else staying in the hotel a show! The only thing we wished to change after the first night was our pillows, as lush as they were down feather, I didn't have the best sleep as it was too high. The hotel staff were only too happy to accommodate us and bring us different pillows though, which was a nice touch. Overall a great stay! by Jen L from Sydney, Aus on 12/11/2013

Education funding took a massive hit during the 2011 legislative session as law makers tried to balance the budget. About 5.4 billion dollars was cut, but many lawmakers in this session are hopeful that the full amount can be restored.
A little under a third of the funding restoration has been approved by the Texas Senate, which unanimously approved 1.7 billion additional dollars be allocated to Texas Schools. The Austin-American Statesman reports an additional 4.5 million dollars was allocated to Medicaid and healthcare for children.

Texas public college and university enrollment rose by 22.5 percent between 2007 and 2012, but state funding fell.

There's a perception, not unjustified, that it takes a high-priced high-powered lobbyist to get a bill passed in the Texas Legislature. But people still try to get something done with an army of volunteers. Some who are still in elementary school.
Around 100 kids from across the state came to Austin for the Texas Home School Coalition's rally day. The kids spent the day learning about the legislative process, yes they got school credit for participating, and to help support home school legislative efforts.

One of the biggest Republican stars in the country provided some advice on overhauling public education to the state Senate today.
"I would advocate that when you have a chance to reform, it ought to be big," former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told the Senate Education Committee. "You ought to go big or go home."

The December school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut left the nation stunned and grief-stricken – and scared it could happen again.
Texas lawmakers have filed a handful of bills they say could increase security for students and peace of mind for parents. But some say those bills are more show than substance.
"A couple of bills are obviously just designed to appeal to the NRA while making it appear that they're trying to make schools safer, when in fact they wouldn't," says Texas State Teachers Association spokesman Clay Robison.
Originally published on Thu February 21, 2013 5:12 pm
The head of the Senate Education Committee says 100,000 Texas families are on waiting lists for charter schools, and it's time to expand the number of charters and provide more funding.

For the first time since 2005, the Texas Senate has confirmed someone to serve a full term as head of the State Board of Education. Barbara Cargill, a Republican from The Woodlands, was appointed by Gov. Rick Perry in 2011.
Cargill has supported a measure that requires students to question evolution. State Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, says Cargill reassured him that she would not allow her religious conservatism to interfere with her leadership of the board.
Groundbreaking on the new San Antonio Children's Museum on Broadway gets underway in June, but leaders at the current facility downtown haven't stopped adding new exhibits.
Three of them are now available: an imagination playground for building towns or vehicles, an improved bubble ranch, and a creative arts studio for children who want to paint the walls.

The Texas legislature cut more than $5 billion from public education in 2011 to help balance the state budget. Then last month lawmakers were told previous revenue estimates were wrong – and that they had more than $8 billion left to spend on that budget.

RANCHI: Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia has proposed outsourcing of verification work of development projects to private agencies to get rid of red-tape in government and also address the problem of manpower shortage. He said this in context of delays in execution of government programmes in the states during a two-day visit to Jharkhand.
"Physical verification of development projects is a huge task and this is often delayed due to shortage of manpower in the bureaucracy," Ahluwalia told TOI during an exclusive interaction on Sunday.

Wayne D. Libby
BOSTON — Wayne D. Libby of Norway died at Massachusetts General Hospital on April 30, 2011 at 59 after a long battle with liver disease. His wife, brother Randy and his partner Jaci, and dear friend Harvey were at his bedside.
Born on April 1, 1952 in Freeport, Maine, the son of Clarence and Peggy Libby, he is also survived by his wife, Gerry, brother, Randy, sister Jane, and their families.
Among the endearing qualities about Wayne was his amazing intellect and memory. From an early age, Wayne was fascinated with cars. Name any auto and Wayne could tell you the make, model, engine and facts about it. This skill also extended to history, geography, stargazing and bird watching among other things.
Wayne gave each thing he did his full attention and passion, whether it was making a beautiful dining table for friends or watching the Red Sox. He loved to travel, kayak and camp, enjoying trips to London, out west and many to Cobscook Bay with his wife and friends in their pop-up, Wayne also took a very special trip to Newfoundland with his brother, Randy.
Wayne's life was not without adversity. In 1985 while working as a welder at the Portsmouth Naval shipyard, Wayne had a devastating accident that resulted in chronic pain for the rest of his life. Dealing with liver disease since 2004, added a huge challenge and more pain. Yet Wayne rarely complained. He taught us all how to live with love, grace and dignity.
While some knew Wayne as Lib or Wayno or Wayne from Maine, one thing is for certain -- to know Wayne was to love him. We will all miss him dearly. Please join his wife, Gerry, family and friends on June 11, 2011 at 1:30 pm at their home in Norway for a celebration of his life. To express condolences, consider a donation to the American Liver Foundation.
Please join his wife, Gerry, family and friends on June 11, at 1:30 p.m. at their home in Norway for a celebration of his life. Arrangements under the care of Oxford Hills and Weston Funeral Services 1037 Main Street Oxford, Maine. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.oxfordhillsfuneralservices.com.

We are looking for a place to buy with a shared community beach where we could keep kayaks, small sailboats etc. Basically we don't want to spend the extra money for waterfront but need a place to keep our stuff where we can access it easily, we have paddle boards, kayaks and a small hobie cat. We'd also like to find a place where we'd be around others with the same interests. We are into water sports, tennis, biking and hiking. any ideas where to look?

Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans --people physically identical to us today -- left their African homeland and entered Europe, then a bleak and inhospitable continent in the grip of the Ice Age. But when they arrived, they were not alone: the stocky, powerfully built Neanderthals had already been living there for hundred of thousands of years. So what happened when the first modern humans encountered the Neanderthals? Did we make love or war? That question has tantalized generations of scholars and seized the popular imagination. Then, in 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo announced stunning news. Not only had they reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome -- an extraordinary technical feat that would have seemed impossible only a decade ago -- but their analysis showed that "we" modern humans had interbred with Neanderthals, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today.

Big Fat Brains, the creative geniuses behind You Suck at Photoshop, are back in fine form with the first new YSAP episode since April 2008. Although I enjoy pretty much anything these guys can cobble together, You Suck at Photoshop was clearly the crown on their (family) jewels. I'm heartily glad to see them back in a new distribution channel more suited to this kind of material than the creepy and uneven My Damn Channel which hosted the original series.
Supported from a generous $500 grant from Big Fat Institute, Big Fat University, or BFU for short, is a virtual college where you can learn to be less stupid in such skills as image manipulation, guitar playing, screenwriting, music production and drawing. The BFU concept hints at an unlimited number of potential demented courses as other deviant teachers join the faculty and share their twisted yet unexpectedly useful knowledge.
Class of 2009
Here is a sample of the Fall 2009 BFU curriculum. More courses will likely be added in the months to come, whether you like it or not.
You Suck at Photoshop, Class 301: Color Correction
You Suck at Photoshop is back as a prequel to Season 1 where a pre-mental breakdown Donnie Hoyle aims to help you "succeed at Photoshop" and get more enjoyment out of life, just as if you had found a "special someone" to spend time with, but before that person break your heart and crushes your spirit into pulp. The use of Photoshop 4 on a MAC Power PC adds lots of retro-laughs to the tutorial experience yet the techniques demonstrated are still applicable on today's software.
INT. SCREENPLAY - NIGHT, Class 101: Standard Screenplay Format
The basics of screenwriting and storytelling are now made accessible to even the most dim-witted hacks, thanks to the unravelling mind of Matt Bledsoe, the lesser known half of Big Fat Brain.
Guitar for Dicks, Class 101: Drop D Tuning
Are you a dick? Do you wish to learn guitar to pick-up chicks and dominate your "friends"? Join Brad Jonesworth and learn how to fake your way through the first few bars of a simple rock song and unleash your inner-poser.
Drawing From Life, Class 101: Komposition
Gerhard Schmerkle brings a much needed dose of European sophistication and German know-how to BFU with his fine art classes, teaching basic drawing techniques while exploring inspiring subjects such as "Shpanking" and existential angst.
Music Juice, Class 101: Garangeband Launch Pad
Get your music juice squeezed as you learn to create a far-out "shmagical" rock opera with super-producer Glenn Persons. Also featuring a 90 foot robot. And space seagulls.

The Great Diagonal Way. The Mother Road. Main Street of America. Route 66, arguably the most fabled and important road in the United States, was commissioned in 1926 and became America's main thoroughfare, linking Chicago to Los Angeles.
Very few hotels offer a lakefront view from every room. But the lake is just icing on the cake for Hôtel Quintessence in Mont-Tremblant.
A light drizzle started to fall just as my daughter and I stepped on to the narrow cobblestoned Callejon de los Sapos (Alley of the Toads). We ducked into the tiny folk art shop next to us to stay dry, and gazed at the impossibly vast array of wares on its narrow walls.
Halfway to the freshwater lagoon, the British couple split off from each other, goose-stepping through the tropical grass. The wife makes it safely to a flagpole and crouches down, binoculars ready. The Jaribu stork they are stalking takes a step forward and the husband freezes mid-stride.
Just before noon on a brilliant Riviera day, two columns of guards line up smartly in front of the Prince's Palace, gold braid glinting on their full dress uniforms, vivid blue helmets rivaling the azure sky.
When I told people I was visiting Mexico City this summer, the first thing they'd say was, 'But aren't you afraid of ancient Aztecs?" I thought about that as I stood atop the 66-metre adobe brick Pyramid of the Sun just northeast of Mexico City.
I was in the Italian town of Orvieto, doing my best to stay in my hotel room and finish some writing. But there was a Pentecost festival going on outside - I could hear it out my window.
We looked at each other nervously as the affable, fast-talking cabbie studied the large map book on his steering wheel, flipping pages, his foot firmly on the gas pedal.
The holidays are a time best spent with friends and family, but with get-togethers come costs. If you are looking to streamline spending, here are some ways to save money on holiday entertaining without looking cheap.
The Hills Health Ranch uses its four-legged staffers to help bring out the best in its guests.
There were no roads in Muskoka when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson came up to marvel at its changing leaves, so he relied on the RMS Segwun to roam the area.
Texas is more than big Stetsons and 72 oz. steaks. To explore the Lone Star state's cultural, architectural and culinary diversity just visit three of its most engaging cities.
The iron and steel titans in Canada's biggest railway museum are scuffed in some spots with the effects of an honest day's work and they reek with the history of the country in its formative years.
The Northeast is deservedly famous for its autumn palette, but New England doesn't have a lock on fall colour. Bright yellow foliage decorates many parts of the Southwest this time of year, and there's no better place to experience those hues than on a drive around the Enchanted Circle, a 137-kilometre loop in Northern New Mexico that begins in Taos.
For Quebecers, Île d'Orléans is the place everybody's been. Île-aux-Grues is where everyone has been meaning to go.
The welcome-to-New-Orleans moment occurs during the taxi ride from Louis Armstrong International Airport to downtown.
With 300 black bears and 200 grizzlies calling Western Canada's Jasper National Park home, running into one isn't as much a possibility as a fait acomplit. But even from the reassuring safety of a car, the first encounter can be a jolt.
The summer crowds are a receding memory as the days pass into autumn in the towns and islands along the New Brunswick shore of the Bay of Fundy, but there's still time to come here to enjoy the deliciously slow pace of life by the sea.
As we drove down Highway 34 a couple hours southwest of Regina, the scenery looked just like that of any other rural highway in Saskatchewan.

Weather Radio Safety program
Updated: 08/04/2011 -
This December will go down as a memorable one in North Central Wisconsin. The month started off with rather cold conditions, so chilly in fact that highs never made it into the 30s until the 21st. Included in the mix was a major winter storm (which seems to be par for the course the last couple of years) dumping anywhere from 8 to 20" in the region. As the month has entered the last week, we have gotten a break in the wild weather as just a few flurries were found around Christmas.
Now as we come down the home stretch of 2010, temperatures will actually run close to if not a little bit above average, while we finally string together a few days worth of sunshine. However, don't get too used to the calm conditions, because another storm is in the works for the upcoming weekend. Unlike many of the storms we have experienced as of late, this one is showing intentions of tracking either to the west or right over our area. If this ends up being the case, odds favor precipitation on Thursday to initially start off as a period of snow or a wintry mix, changing over to rain later Thursday into the day on Friday. However if cold enough air stays wedged into our neck of the woods, then there could be a longer period of sleet/freezing rain before we finally switch over to plain old rain showers. Once again this storm will require a lot of attention as the week goes along and the computer guidance provides a more clear cut idea of the resulting track.
If that wasn't enough, there are a couple computer models trying to develop a secondary low in the wake of the first one, bring more precipitation our way for the 1st day of 2011. Again the battle over where the rain/snow line will be located continues, and if a cold front pushes just to our east prior to the arrival of this next low, then we likely revert back to a mix or snow. Lots of variables to be ironed out and we'll attempt to sort through it all. Safe to say, there will be fluctuations in the storm track between now and late week, which means you might hear us say one thing one day and then the next it could be totally different. Oh the joys of winter weather forecasting. Just ask the folks on in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast who for days were hearing forecasts for the day after Christmas of either a potential for a lot of snow then no snow at all. But when more weather data became available in relation to the storm and the start up time of the storm was in sight, the forecast turned back to a major storm with the potential of over a foot of snow in some locales. In the end, this part of the country appears to have ended up being blasted with a Nor'easter producing heavy snow & gusty winds in some of the big cities. Merry Christmas, even if was too late for a white one in these places.
Travel safely in the days ahead, and be sure to check back in to our webchannel, facebook page, and 24/7 Weather Channel for the latest weather details.

Miss Fancy
From Bhamwiki
Miss Fancy (born c. 1872; died 1954 in Buffalo, New York) was an elephant that served as the star attraction at the Birmingham Zoo when it was located in the southeast corner of Avondale Park from 1913 to 1934.
The Birmingham Advertising Club bought the 41 year-old for $2000 from the struggling Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus in 1913. They used her as a promotional gimmick and, once the novelty faded, donated her to the city. Another story, promulgated by former Miami Herald editor Ellis Hollums, is that Birmingham Age-Herald publisher Ed Barrett won her from a circus owner in a poker game. In any case, the Age-Herald took credit for presenting the animal as a gift "to the children of Birmingham". $500 was raised through children's donations of pennies to provide for her care. The city constructed a green-painted elephant house at Avondale Park. She was initially placed under the custodianship of Dayton Allen, who was instructed on her care and handling by circus trainer Curly Hayes.
She was an early and enduring favorite of the city's white schoolchildren. African-Americans were not admitted to Avondale Park under the city's segregation laws. The publicity surrounding the new attraction led members of 16th Street Baptist Church to petition the city to be allowed to picnic at the park one Sunday. The Birmingham City Commission accepted the petition, and decided to allow all Black residents to visit the park on July 9, 1914. The decision was harshly criticized by the Avondale Civic League, and the church withdrew its request.
Miss Fancy was reported to have eaten 150 pounds of hay and three gallons of grain per day, washed down with 60-115 gallons of fresh water and supplemented by popcorn, peanuts, apples and watermelons brought to her by residents. Despite being exercised by giving rides to children and leading parades to Legion Field before the annual Birmingham-Southern-Howard football game, Miss Fancy managed to grow from 4,800 to over 8,500 pounds during her years in Birmingham.
Miss Fancy was also known to be a drinker, consuming quarts of confiscated whisky provided by city officials during prohibition. The liquor was mixed with the elephant's feed as a treatment for constipation or chills. A good bit of it also found its way into the throat of her long-time caretaker, John Todd, who often appeared drunk in public. Miss Fancy often escaped from her enclosure and wandered the streets of Avondale, Woodlawn and Forest Park, sampling the delights of kitchen gardens and peeping into windows. She was almost always a gentle presence, but on at least two occasions she caused damage to property. Once, in 1925 she knocked over the park's cookhouse and kicked over a couple of fire hydrants. In Spring of 1931 she barreled through the trees up Red Mountain in an apparent rage.
The $4,600 annual expense of keeping the animal menagerie operating led Park Board to suggest closing the zoo as early as 1932. The Birmingham Board of Education declined an offer to take over Miss Fancy's care, as did former Mayor George Ward, proprietor of the Roman-styled Vestavia estate on Shades Mountain. He told the board that "Lions, tigers and elephants contributed to the downfall of the Roman Empire. No elephant will have the opportunity to bring about the disintegration of my Roman empire."
Miss Fancy was ultimately sold, along with the rest of the park's exotic animals, to the Cole Brothers - Clyde Beatty Circus of Rochester, Indiana for a total of $710. Circus crews arrived on November 11, 1934 to accompany the elephant to her new quarters in Peru, Indiana. The first boxcar proved too small for the giantess, and she waited by the rail siding for a larger carriage, which departed the city about 7:00 PM. Todd rode with her, but soon returned to Birmingham and worked in the city's greenhouse. The Cole Brothers soon announced the acquisition of "Frieda", an 8,600 lb. elephant from Birmingham, "which towered over the other three in the elephant row". That name didn't seem to stick, and she toured with the circus as "Bama" in 1935 and 1937.
In April 1939 the circus sold her to the Buffalo, New York zoo, which had been newly expanded with help from the Works Progress Administration. She remained there until her death in 1954.
Miss Fancy was mentioned in Fannie Flagg's novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. Her image was adopted in the logo of the Avondale Brewing Company. A diminuative bronze statue was added as a centerpiece of the plaza of the renovated Avondale Park in 2012.
[edit] Notes
- The Cole Bros. Circus acquired another "Frieda" in 1947. This Frieda died of old age in 1957. Yet another Frieda from the Cole Bros. Circus was involved in a series of fatal incidents and two rampages from 1985-1995.

Etna state of emergency declaredgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread |
Tuesday, 29 October, 2002, 23:52 GMTThe Italian Government has declared a state of emergency in parts of Sicily, after a series of earthquakes accompanying the eruption of Mount Etna forced about 1,000 people flee their homes.
The decision was taken at an emergency cabinet meeting in Rome.
Hundreds of tremors have been registered since the eruption began on Sunday, but Tuesday's was the largest, at 4.3 on the Richter scale.
It was followed by two more quakes registering 3.6 and 4.0, adding to the panic of local villagers.
More than 100 homes were damaged in Santa Venerina, and holiday hotels have been requisitioned to accommodate the displaced families.
A ship equipped with a medical clinic aboard was positioned off Catania - to the south of the volcano - to be ready in case of emergency, the Civil Defence press office said.
"We are concerned and we are trying to find out... if we can expect even more worrying developments," Italy's European Affairs Minister Rocco Butiglione told AFP news agency.
Meanwhile, two streams of lava are continuing to flow down the southern and northern slopes of the volcano.
Residential areas are not threatened but tourist facilities have been swallowed up, and acres of pine forest have been consumed by fire.
Etna is a popular skiing area, and the season would normally be beginning soon.
Ski lifts on the southern side of the volcano were swamped by lava last year.
Those on the northern slopes have already been damaged by this latest eruption.
Emergency workers have been digging channels in the earth in an attempt to divert the northern flow away from the town of Linguaglossa.
Schools in the town have been shut down, although the church has remained open for people to pray.
Apart from Santa Venerina, Tuesday's earthquake also affected the villages of Giarre, and Zafferana Etnea.
Civil defence official Enrico Galeani said some people had been slightly injured.
The airport outside the city of Catania remained closed on Tuesday for a third day.
Restaurant swallowed
Ash has been falling continuously on the city, and drifting across the Mediterranean as far as Libya.
Europe's biggest and most active volcano has been throwing magma more than 100 metres (330 feet) into the air, in a spectacular display.
The lava has swallowed buildings, including at least one restaurant, knocked down power lines and pushed over ski-lift pylons.
Mount Etna has had four major eruptions in the last 309 years.
Vulcanologists have warned that it is gradually becoming more explosive and more dangerous.
Etna is almost constantly rumbling, but had not erupted since July and August last year, which experts described as one of the most erratic and complex displays in 300 years.
Its last big eruption was in 1992.

A political blog of all things Thurston (aka Hazard County) and many things from the fathers' rights front. The Olympian's Brad Shannon says this about the opinion and commentary expressed on this blog: "Filled with hate," "Disturbed," "Out of the mainstream." Hey, that's a call to action for the Tea Party generation if ever there was one.

Washington State Environmental Lobby:: an Enron by another name is just as evil
As the property rights initiative steamrolls toward victory, Futurewise, the underbelly of the left, is making the first of several fumbling attempts to keep it off the ballot this November. These are the fine folks who ran the puppet show at the Governor's office to halt building in Thurston County.
Fascism? It's alive and well here in Olympia.
I'm all for preserving rural areas and the country appeal of our county but I do believe the State and County governments are obligated to compensate landowners for legislation and ordinances which devalue property values. In other words, if you want to stop development, you better buy the development rights.
That's not the agenda of the environmental lobby. Not only do they want to take your property rights, they want to do so without compensating you, and now they want to prevent you from having a vote on it.
Now the family farms that myself and many of my childhood friends grew up on could have been developed many times over the years- but there wasn't a need. Money now isn't everything. That land was more or less a nest egg which was intended to be used as a source of retirement income for our parents. The back forty for many has always been intended to be turned into 5 acre parcels or to be passed on to the next generation. They've been zoned this way for decades. Until now that is. Now that the kooks have moved out to the country, they mistakenly believe they paid for not only their house in the earliest of the cookie cutter developments, but also the view of every parcel of rural land in the west half of the state.
Please environmental lobby, tell me how you are any different than Enron or United Airlines? How are you NOT a bunch of thieves trying to screw off with the most valuable component of our retirement portfolios?
The initiative is going to pass like the mandate from voters that it really is...the fascists know this and I really expect them to start using the courts to attempt to win where they can't win at the ballot box.
Don't stiff us with the bill for your desire for a country without any people. It's very un-American. If you want the land- then you can buy it, just like many of us, our parents AND grandparents did.
But what the heck- stealing is cheaper than buying if you're a thief and can get away with it.

Reaching Youth Market Demands InnovationAs credit unions confront their many challenges, some are coming up with inventive strategies to attract more deposits, branch more cheaply, and serve their communities. One such credit union is Vantage Credit Union (vcu.com), Bridgeton, Mo., which is using Twitter and unique marketing approaches to attract young, tech savvy customers. In 2009, the $670 million credit union became the first in its region to offer some banking services through the social network Twitter. Vantages tweetMyMoney service allows members to check balances, get information about recent transactions, or transfer money between accountssimilar to the way many institutions do mobile banking using text messages. Launching tweetMyMoney was an inexpensive way to enter the mobile banking business. It didnt immediately generate a wave of new members, but it did attract a lot of attention and set the credit union apart from its competitors. At one point, Vantage had received so many phone calls from credit unions, community banks, and vendors that it launched a technology subsidiary just to sell tweetMyMoney. We realized there was a market need, Eric Aeree, Vantage executive vice president, tells American Banker. Deploying text-based mobile banking is expensive, he adds. Why not do it through a popular interface? These days, the tweetMyMoney service has been rolled into another innovative solution being marketed by Vantage the Not Your Mamas Account for the 18 to 25 crowd. Vantage calls it a first-of-its-kind approach to online account management. In addition to standard banking and bill pay capabilities, this next-generation online banking tool includes features such as:
Along with tweetMyMoney, Vantage also offers slip-up protection on non-sufficient fund fees for the account specifically designed for youth members. The features are aimed at one of the demographics credit unions most need to improve upon. Nearly 70% of nonmembers ages 18 to 24 are not at all familiar with credit unionsthe highest level among any age group, according to CUNAs 2011-2012 Survey of Potential Members. The credit union also participates in the innovative social media campaign, Young and Free. The credit union hosts a website (youngfreestlouis.com) offering youth-oriented social media options. Launched in 2007 by Currency Marketing, a credit union marketing company in Chilliwack, Canada, the campaign started from a fundamental proposition: Credit unions, faced with an aging population of members, have to do something to stay relevant and gain a new, young base of customers. Young & Free, which is being run in several states and provinces in North America, provides tools to engage the youth market using a combination of social media and contests to find young, media-savvy credit union spokespersons.

UPDATED!... after this post, please also read this and this.
About a year ago Microsoft made a big statement that all next major releases of it's ERP package would run in the cloud on Azure. And the NAV team did some major investments in this and got it to work like it should. Webroles, Workerroles, etc. you name it.
To me it was then a big supprise to go to the "NAV on Azure" session at NavTechDays in Antwerp and hear that it was cut from RTM. Running NAV 2013 on Azure means renting a VM on Azure which is not even released yet.
Personally I think this is a bit dissapointing but I hope and trust that this will be "back" in 8.
Don't you think they can ship sooner than NAV 8 ? That's NAV 2013 R2 ...
Hey Tarek,
I have absolutely no idea. What's in a name? R2 or NAV8? It's the date that matters, not the name.
My guess at deriving time frame base on version released ;-)
NAV 2013 R2 -> in 8 to 12 Month
NAV 8 -> in 2 to 3 years ...
Tarek, looks like you are close. ;-)
Back home for a day after Directions EMEA I am stil Baffled from what happened in Vienna. Even though

Dale Coyne Racing staged a major coup Tuesday by announcing that it had tested four-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais, with the aim of running him in the road course rounds of the IZOD IndyCar Series this year. He is expected to team with Martin Plowman, who aims to run the full season for the Plainfield, Ill.-based team.
"The first draft of our press release was worded maybe a bit too strongly – it sounded a bit too confirming, so we sent out another one and softened things up a bit," team owner Dale Coyne told SPEED.com. "But we want to do it and he wants to do it, so if the stars align, I hope to be able to do something with him."
"This is an opportunity that has great potential," said Coyne. "We are very serious about moving our effort forward and this, coupled with the continuing Boy Scouts of America program from last season, is one of the most important steps in that direction we can possibly make."
Bourdais returned to the cockpit of an Indy car for the first time in three years on Monday, when he tested Coyne's Dallara at Sebring. The Frenchman, who competed for two years in Formula 1 following his Champ Car stint with Newman/Haas Racing, in which he scored 31 race victories as well as four consecutive titles, has raced since with Peugeot at Le Mans, and will continue with the French marque in the ILMC races. However, he is enthusiastic about resuming his open-wheel career.
"The car was very good and it really felt good to be back in an IndyCar," said Bourdais. "I was not sure what to expect, but I was impressed with the way the car handled, and look forward to putting together the pieces to get back into IndyCar racing. I really believe in what Dale is doing with his team and it can be a great workable opportunity for both of us this year."
Joining Bourdais on track Monday was Indy Lights standout Martin Plowman, who looks to make his IndyCar debut this season with the team.
"I am very pleased that everything went exceptionally well today," said the Englishman. "The car was very stable and quick right out of the box, allowing me to improve our times all day long."
Plowman has competed the past two years in Indy Lights, scoring a win at Mid-Ohio on his way to sixth in the championship last season. "We have tested a lot of new drivers over the years, and you generally know what you have on the first day," said Coyne. "Martin is one of the best that we have seen and we look forward to a positive growth curve with this aspiring young talent."
