I believe there is a massive tool conspiracy occurring in my house.
It involves a five-year-old, my wife and my utility drawer. Heck, J. Edgar Hoover may even be in on this one. Yeah, it's that serious (but doesn't wear women's clothing, that'd just be weird).
This tale begins years ago, about the time certain little hands could reach into kitchen drawers, things began to disappear.
Now, a man's utility drawer is the most important drawer in the house. It contains almost everything you need to fix (or break) all of the little pains in a household.
We all have them, full of the extra nails and screws from entertainment centers and toddler beds, hammers, pliers, screwdrivers and the dye they give you to fix scratches on said entertainment centers (used up in the first year).
But the screwdrivers are at the heart of my conspiracy. Since those little hands could fish blindly in the drawer, I lost every single phillips screwdriver in the house.
Flatheads, sure, there were always plenty. But a phillips was nowhere to be found.
Even when I bought new ones, they would disappear. But the flathead that was in my first tool kit I got when I turned 16 was always right there on top.
After years of warnings of the dangerous things in that drawer, he grew out of his phase of taking tools. All was good, even though I had no phillips screwdrivers.
And this is where it gets weird folks. This is not for the squeamish.
The other day I went to get out a flathead, and barely looking grabbed the first screwdriver handle I saw.
Phillips. Grab another.
Phillips. Grab another.
Phillips. Grab another.
Wait, what???? Jumpin Jehoshaphat! There were three phillips screwdrivers in there. Even though I'm horrible at math, I know because I counted them twice.
Mission changed, I dumped out the whole drawer to see if a doorway to Narnia was in the back.
No Narnia gate. And not one single flathead screwdriver.
Sensing something was amiss, I looked again. Three phillips, no flatheads.
I must be going crazy -- I thought this quietly so no one else could hear.
So there I went, hat in hand, to go borrow one from the neighbor, as I have been doing for years.
I asked for a screwdriver, he went to his garage, only to return with a phillips, as per the norm.
I began laughing hysterically, confirming that I was indeed losing my mind. After wiping away the tears, I explained and we shared a good laugh.
Usually I call out my inner Sherlock Holmes for these situations, but the weirdness of it suggests I should leave it alone.
Page 2 of 2 - It seems to be a missing sock type of ordeal, but I strongly believe someone is having some fun at my expense.
I've always been very vocal about missing tools, maybe this is some payback.
Or maybe the phillips' were on vacation, and now its the flatheads' turn (pun intended) to take a trip.
But every suspect either played the deny card or had a reliable alibi.
The only possible explanation left is that there is, in fact, a conspiracy afoot to make me into the crazy guy on the block.
But of course, I probably already am. Next thing I know, every screw in the house will suddenly turn into star bits.
That's when I'll let out the defeated sigh, get one of those fancy strapped jackets and put some padding on the walls.

FACILITATORS: Cynthia Giroux and Jan Conradi helped develop a new optical fiber at Corning.
Image: FOREST MCMULLIN, Corning
Optical fiber is the plumbing of the Internet age. And Corning is the world's biggest plumbing supply house, holding about 40 percent of the market for optical fiber. During the past five years, it has mounted a successful campaign to revamp its standard fiber products, descendants of the first commercial light pipes patented by the company about 30 years ago.
Despite the encomiums of New Economy proselytizers about radical change, Corning achieved this goal of making premium fiber by streamlining traditional management techniques, using structured product-development formulas that would be recognizable to Frederick Taylor, the 19th-century father of management science.

Manizha Naderi was born in Kabul and raised in New York. She joined WAW in 2002 as a volunteer. She soon became our second staff person, and helped launch our Queens Community Outreach Program in New York. In 2006, she moved to Kabul to launch WAW's work in Afghanistan. Since 2006, under Ms. Naderi's leadership, WAW has opened 9 Family Guidance Centers, 8 women's shelters, 4 halfway houses and 4 Children's Support Centers. Four hundred fifty local Afghan women and men staff these facilities. Ms. Naderi has also built a massive women's rights awareness-raising training program that has reached over 125,000 Afghans. Ms. Naderi's goal is to have FGCs and shelters in every province in Afghanistan. Ms. Naderi has a BA in English Language Arts from Hunter College. She has 4 daughters and now divides her time between New York City and Kabul.
• WAW New York Staff:
Naheed Bahram, NY Program Director
Naheed was born to a working-class, conservative family in Kabul, Afghanistan. Her family migrated to Peshawar, Pakistan after the loss of her mother in a bomb explosion in Kabul. Ms. Bahram graduated from high school in Pakistan and taught ESL to Afghan women in the Afghan refugee camps in Peshawar. She moved to the United States in 2004 as an international student. She graduated from Queens College in June 2011 with a BA in Finance and Economics. Ms. Bahram has been working with WAW since 2007, first as a volunteer, then intern, then case worker and now NY Program Manager running WAW New York.
Jessica Wright, Administrative Coordinator
Jessica joined WAW in 2010 through volunteering in the ESL classes in New York. While not an educator by profession, she rapidly fell in love with teaching and tutoring. Now Jessica manages WAW's adult education program, homework help and tutoring for children and works part time in the office as Administrative Coordinator.
Vanessa Dubyn, Development Manager
Vanessa's commitment to the empowerment of underserved populations, particularly women and children of color, led her to joining the WAW family in 2012. Her previous work includes fundraising and grant writing for an inner-city youth program and a shelter dedicated to immigrant and refugee survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, both in San Francisco. She also volunteered in Nepal and Kazakhstan (the latter as a Peace Corps volunteer) teaching English, working with orphaned children and youth, and fundraising for the community.
Ivana Kvesic, Development Assistant
Ivana joined the WAW team in 2012 and has experience in journalism, fundraising, and teaching English abroad. She is passionate about human rights, social justice, and empowering women globally. She recently finished her M.S. in Global Affairs from New York University, where she focused her studies on human rights and human security. It was in an International Development course at NYU that Ivana became interested in Afghan women's rights and went on to write her master's thesis on gender inequality and human security in Afghanistan.
Yalda Afif, Case Worker
Yalda became a caseworker in January 2011 after volunteering at WAW. She was born in Kabul in 1990 but left in 1992 for Pakistan,where she spent most of her childhood due to war in her country.
She returned to Kabul as a tenth grader in 2006 and later earned a place at Kabul University to study law. She came to the U.S. in 2010 to compete in a moot court before the International Court of Justice,the judicial arm of the United Nations. Her team won, and she was awarded first place for top oralist. Passionate about women's rights, Yalda leads the Girls Leadership Program – GLP – on Saturdays at the center for high school girls from the local Afghan community.

medica Kosova
During the Kosova War, Serbian members of the military raped thousands of Kosova Albanian women and girls, and Albanian militiamen committed acts of terrible violence against Roma women. The military razed houses, destroyed fields and killed men and boys. What remains are many war widows and women who have to date not managed to speak about what happened to them. For rape is regarded as a "violation of honour" in traditional Kosovan society. It is a taboo subject.
Immediately after the war, in 1999, medica mondiale opened an interdisciplinary counselling centre for women in rural Gjakova, an area that was known for particularly merciless massacres. This centre developed into medica Kosova (mK), an independent Kosovan women's organisation that is today a symbol for the sensitive and innovative support for traumatised women on the one hand and for the brave effort in favour of their rights at government level and in the media on the other hand. Almost 2,000 women have so far received psychosocial counselling, gynaecological treatment and legal assistance. Thanks to the medica Kosova team of 30, many women have started to cope with their war time experiences and to develop prospects for the future.

Want greater payload with a slight lift
Hi All,
I have a 2010 Sierra SLE with the 5.3 and Z71 package
I have the 17" 6-star rims which i'll be keeping and wouldn't go to a much larger wheel in the future.
I'm looking for just a slight increase in ground clearance that a front leveling kit could provide but I also want the ability to load up the bed so I'd like to possibly add a spring (or any other option you guys may recommend)
I do want to keep the raked back end so I'm not sure what to get done to the rear end to have a little more capacity back there and to lift it enough to keep a raked look to match a lift that a leveling kit would provide.
What are your recommendations?
06-23-2010, 01:50 PM #2Well if you want to lift your truck and keep it raked, then id get a 2-inch leveling kit for the front then get a suspension block in the back. If the newer trucks like yours come with a 2 inch block from the factory like the slightly older z71's do, then you need a four inch block to keep the rear raked and 2 inches taller in the back like it is from the factory. But if it dosnt come with a suspension block, then all you need is a 2 inch block to raise the rear and keep it raked after installing the leveling kit.

I believe the block is only 1.25" but I hope someone can confirm for me.
Also; what about something to increase the amount of weight I can put in the bed without sagging like a lowrider
06-23-2010, 05:01 PM #4Then get an "add-a-leaf" kit. This kit adds an extra leaf spring to your rear end and allows you to haul higher loads and will raise your rear end a bit higher.

This is THE best cookie recipe! I followed the recipe exactly except for I only used 1 and 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and they turned out great! Will be making again for sure.

I've thought of several ways to go about my first column of the new school year, and it seemed best to take this time to do a little housekeeping business from the summer. I'll start by saying I'm thrilled for this weekend and the start of the new softball and football seasons. Summer is both a good and bad time for me as I get the much needed rest and relaxation from the previous school year, but let's be honest, I'm over that in about a week, then anxiously awaiting the day I can hit the ball fields again.
Union County girls basketball was very popular and successful in the 1970's, and for Ingomar, it was the play of Janet Doom-Jennings that had the Lady Falcons competing for a state title. Jennings played for the Lady Falcons during their successful time in the 1970's, including a state championship in 1972. Playing for Norris Ashley in his early years at Ingomar, Jennings said she learned several life lessons from the long-time head coach.
John Sexton is a name that is synonymous with Union County basketball, but it is another one of his hobbies that has occupied this former Eagle's time over the last couple of years. After graduating from West Union in 2007, Sexton had brief stints playing ball at William and Mary in Virginia as well as Northeast before he decided to pursue his other hobby: poker.
When basketball season hits, there is only one place Grant Goolsby sees himself, and that's on the sideline at the games. The 2008 Myrtle graduate and former Northeast standout is taking advantage of a rare opportunity for someone of his age. Last season, he was offered a volunteer assistant position on Drew Tyler's staff at Oxford High School and hopes to be added on as a full time assistant for next season. The experience is crucial for Goolsby, who has a year remaining for his undergraduate studies at Ole Miss.
Johnny Payton has seen a lot of great basketball over the years, and even played some himself during his days at New Albany. As a member of the 1985 undefeated state champion Bulldog squad, Payton knows what it takes to be successful in the game and now spends time encouraging some of the best up and coming athletes in the county. "It's great to see the athletes that have come through here over time. I've always said that a lot of great athletes go unnoticed in this area," he said.
One thing that will never change in Union County is the competitiveness and excitement surrounding basketball. Former players, such as Barry Kidd, have the opportunity to not only reflect on their careers, but watch as their children succeed at the same school. Kidd's prolific career at Ingomar was capped with state and grand slam championships in 1978. After playing for the Falcons, he held a brief stint at Northeast, where his career eventually ended.
Some of the best things in life can sneak up on you unexpectedly, and in the case of Tana Kirk-Miller, it was coaching.
A lot has changed since Lisa Billingsley-Wigginton's days on the basketball court. The former Lady Urchin has accomplished a lot since her days at East Union, including a two-year stint playing ball at Mississippi State. Moving from Jackson to Memphis, Wigginton now calls Tupelo home and has done so for the last 18 years.
Mallory Sanford Horn would agree that she has been blessed when it comes to her job. After graduating from New Albany in 2002, the former multi-state champion in softball and basketball continued her successful softball career at Northeast Community College before completing her undergraduate studies at Ole Miss. Since, Horn has returned home, working in the New Albany School District and couldn't be happier.
A former East Union standout is enjoying his chance to continue playing baseball after boasting successful high school and collegiate careers. Competing last season for the Pensacola Pelicans of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, Chase Porch is now in Chicago, playing for the Windy City ThunderBolts of the Frontier League Professional Baseball league.

Gay celebrities: Who is out?
Once it was considered a potentially career-ending acknowledgment, but a growing number of celebrities have come out with relatively little fanfare.
Image 29 of 33
k.d. lang, 1992
Musician k.d. lang came out in 1992 to Advocate Magazine.
"I don't want to say the wrong things to the gay culture," she said to the magazine, "Because there are so many different opinions on how to gain acceptance. And I don't want to hurt my mother by coming out in the press." "But at the same time I don't want to hurt my culture, and it's like — what do you do?" |

Gorilla Yakini received his biennial health check yesterday at Werribee Open Range Zoo.
While vets have yet to receive all of the test results, the check up went smoothly and they were very pleased to see that Yakini shows no signs of ill health.
Healesville Sanctuary vets released Mr. Meccano, a Common Long-necked Turtle back into a dam at Domaine Chandon last week.
Mr. Meccano was one of 25 turtles that have been bought into the Australian Wildlife Health Centre this season after being hit by cars.
Under the watchful eye of mum Dokkoon and big sister Mali, Melbourne Zoo's new male elephant calf has ventured out for the second time.
Keepers were on hand to monitor the baby as he excitedly explored his new surroundings, eagerly following mum around the paddock.
Asian Elephant Dokkoon has given birth overnight to her second calf.
Born at 2:40am and weighing in at 131 kilograms, the male calf is the fourth Asian Elephant to be born at Melbourne Zoo.
TarraWarra Museum of Art and Healesville Sanctuary proudly present a unique collaboration this summer.
Jaikyn celebrated his eighth birthday with a very special magic moment with Healesville Sanctuary's new Koala joey and his mum Prickles on Sunday.
The entire team at Zoos Victoria are very saddened by the sudden loss of our elephant calf Sanook.
Melbourne Zoo Director, Kevin Tanner said; "we have reviewed the CCTV footage from last night which has indicated that his death was a result of a tragic accident.
Three exciting projects have successfully secured Zoos Victoria's International Conservation Grants helping in the global fight against the extinction of threatened species.
Gorilla Yakini celebrated his 14th birthday today at Werribee Open Range Zoo.
The birthday marks an important milestone for Yakini, who is on the cusp of becoming a full grown silverback.
Thank you for keeping a lookout for baby birds. Since our last update, we have received two more Tawny Frogmouth chicks.

are you using the -smp flag? for you that aren't getting any work using the SMP client make sure that you have it so it selects advanced units @mailman are you willing to try CPU again if i try to help you out step by step with screen shots along the way? If so PM me tonight or tomorrow and i will put something together for you
At the end of your shortcut target you need to add a space then enter -smp after that another space and enter -advmethods
My suggestion is to add to your shortcut... -smp X -advmethods -verbosity 9 Where X is #of cores. If I'm correct what everybody else missed is that your running a SMP on an i7 920 and since the client didn't detect all your cores you need to add... -smp 8 -advmethods -verbosity 9
ok i got it all up and running, might even add my laptop to the mix a little later(celeron 520 oc to 2ghz! lol) .... i keep getting an error when i try to upload my img... "folding1.jpg: This PNG image has the incorrect file extension." well anyway... i was gonna show a pic with my ppd... 9600GT: 3800ppd Athlon II X4 630 @ 3.0ghz : 725ppd are these numbers about right? ... i'm guessing the celeron with dig up another 200 or so lol
I just got a g92 8800gts from my uncle, which will replace the 9600gso in my main rig. The 9600gso will go in my server as a dedicated folder, so I'll get at least 4k ppd from that. How much will the g92 8800gts get at stock clocks (674/1674/1940)
I would say that is about right on the 9600GT my 8800GT(stock) ~4.5k The athlon II X4 i'm not sure but seems to be about right(are you using FAHmon or HFM.net? to get PPD) BTW my i7 is about to turn-in a WU for chimp I think after it is done i am going to try to get alittle better clocks from my i7 so when May 5th comes around i am at peak production.
FAHmon, was actually about to get hfm.net for my laptop... just overclocked the laptop to 2.0 from 1.6 and about to give it a try at folding. lol its only getting 124ppd
I got the 8800GTS installed in my main rig, and the 9600GSO is installed in my server (I'll post pics soon, hehe). Everything has gone smoothly thus far. I'm on my server right now, download nvidia drivers. Since the card was BIOS flashed, it's already overclocked... the 8800gts needs tweaking, but not right now.
Could it be Sarge....No, Rosemary the telephone receptionist....No, Penry the mild mannered Janitor....Could be!! Source:
Allright, the 9600gso in installed and working, and the server is packed away in it's little corner where it belongs. The 8800gts is in my rig, and working beautifully. This should double my output... heh heh. Here's the pics of the rigs now: The server: The main rig:
Makaveli, could you check that you have your Username and Team Number set up correctly.In your first pic it is not set up right.You can scroll up in the console window to check. The username is ChimPowerUp and Team Number is 50711 Also with your i7, if you have hyperthreading enabled, make sure to run -smp 8 as an argument in the shortcut.It will then utilise all 8 cores. If you need help to change it , just PM me. Also welcome to the Team EDIT:You can also PM me for the Passkey (which it will ask for if you have to change your UserName and Team Number)
Thought id turn up Well as my 8800gt doesnt do much most days id thought id put it in the loop. Hope this little fold helps.
Welcome to the team A tip for all the new people folding on their GPU's, Keep an eye on your temps, they can heat up quite quickly.Maybe set your fan to manual control and up it to ~80%.
Thanks for the advice, but owing to a crap sparkle fan ,i have modded it to run of the board header with an intel c2d heat sink fan zip tied to the 8800 gt(58 degrees @ 98% is pretty good and thanks for the welcome, Hug
I bought my uncle's 8800GTS, so I'll be bringing about 9k ppd rather than 4k. If I overclock my 8800gts, it'll be about 10k
Tip of the day: Overclock shaders only to maximize output. 8800gt should be good for about 1780+/- mhz. Just watch your temps. 65-75c all day is normal for these cards.
cheers for the tip-age had this pop up when i ramp my shaders up any ideas, ive ramped em down a bit now 1728 shaders as opposed to 1780 so were the oced shaders causing this issue?
no, the fan spped was causing the issue.Take the fan off auto and run it at least 70-80%. Then you can take the shaders up a little more.

Lewis Hamilton is predicting an "extremely tough, tactical and interesting" run-in to the season finale as McLaren battle for the World titles.
After a trying first half to the campaign in which pit stop blunders and errors were all too common in McLaren's game, the Woking team was given a welcome boost ahead of the summer break when Hamilton claimed the victory in Hungary.
The triumph, his second of the season, meant the Brit, who is fourth in the standings, closed the gap to Fernando Alonso in the Championship to 47 points.
"My win in Hungary was a fantastic way to go into the summer break: it had the added bonus of sending the whole team away for their holidays with a positive feeling in their hearts," said the 27-year-old.
"It's also given me the hope and assurance that we can come back for the final nine races with a real chance to go for both World Championships."
However, Hamilton has warned against expecting back-to-back victories when the season resumes at Spa, saying there is still too much uncertainty about F1's pecking order.
"Given the unpredictability of the sport, I think it's still difficult to predict accurately who'll win the next grand prix.
"But I reckon the coming few weeks ought to give us a much clearer idea of the destination of the World title. It's going to be an extremely tough, tactical and interesting finale to the season.
"There's no team with a clear advantage - although we're all pushing hard to catch Fernando's points tally in the Drivers' Championship - so there's still everything to play for."
The McLaren driver, though, is relishing the challenge of racing at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, a venue where he claimed the win back in 2010.
"I really couldn't be happier that the season gets back down to business again in Belgium.
"Spa is one of the best circuits in the world - it's always a buzz to nail a fast lap around there, and, after five weeks out of the cockpit, that first lap on Friday morning is going to feel absolutely sensational."

Lending and Leasing Limits - Proposed Rule - Summer 2010
On Thursday, December 16, Barry Mardock of the FCA called Tim McDonald, President and CEO of Great Plains Ag Credit (Great Plains), to ask him some follow-up questions on the comment letter Mr. McDonald submitted in response to the FCA's Lending and Leasing Limits and Risk Management Proposed Rule. Specifically, Mr. Mardock wanted to further understand the impact that reducing the lending limit from 25 percent to 15 percent would have on Great Plains. The following comments summarize the content of the discussion.
Mr. McDonald stated that Great Plains serves a significant number of large agricultural operations that continue to have growing credit needs.
Commercial banks in Great Plains' service area have consolidated and are very competitive for large loans. (This was not the case in the past with small community banks.)
Great Plains currently has an in-house lending limit of 16 percent and sells participations in excess of $300 million on loans over that amount.
Mr. McDonald believes allowing more time to bring loans into compliance would be of significant benefit to Great Plains.
Great Plains is currently discussing the possibility of merging with another association to increase its lending capacity.
Mr. McDonald is concerned that future consolidation in agriculture and among Great Plains' borrowers will increase the number of large loans exceeding 15 percent and it may not be able to complete with commercial banks to keep those customers.
Mr. McDonald was not seeking an exception to this rule for small institutions. (Great Plains has over $500 million in loan volume)

1,000 gallons spilled in Dorchester tanker crash
DORCHESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- Gas poured onto the streets and dozens of residents were evacuated when a tanker truck smashed into a pole in Dorchester Friday morning.
The spill was expected to affect the morning commute as roads had to be shut down for the continued cleanup.
The Boston fire department says the fuel began spilling into the road after a Sunoco tanker drove over the base of a streetlight fixture on Dorchester Avenue late Thursday night. The accident damaged two of the tanker's five sections.
Crews brought in another tanker to off-load fuel from the damaged tanker.
Firefighters say the leak ended around 1:20 a.m. Friday and posted several pictures of the scene on its Twitter account. The pictures showed the damage tanker and firefighters cleaning up the area.
Neighboring homes were evacuated. The fire department says more than 40 people were forced to leave. They stayed on MBTA buses and were all back in their homes by early Friday morning.
The fire department says people were not in danger but it was important to take precautions given the size of the spill.
"The tanks that were damaged, there was about 5,000 gallons in those two tanks," Deputy Chief Michael Doherty said. About 1,000 gallons were spilled from the tanker overall.
The fire chief said the driver of the tanker is expected to be cited for the incident.
The damaged tanker had been towed away as of 7 a.m. Friday, and all affected roads had been reopened.

Washington, DC Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Pres. Obama delivered remarks at the White House urging Congress to extend middle class tax cuts associated with the so-called "fiscal cliff".
He discussed the current negotiations on the expiring end of year tax cuts and the cost to middle class taxpayers if the so-called "fiscal cliff" takes place.
According to the White House, if Congress doesn't act by year's end, a typical family could see an average tax increase of $2,200.
The President was be joined by middle class Americans at the event.
Later in the day, President Obama held a Cabinet meeting where he covered a wide variety of topics, from the continuing recovery efforts in the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy, to the budget and tax talks surrounding the "fiscal cliff."
Following his statement to reporters, the President responded to a question about U.N Ambassador Susan Rice, widely rumored to be on the short-list to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, saying "Susan Rice is extraordinary."

Global Frameworks
Resources and skills are unevenly distributed across the world and are not often at the places where they are most urgently needed. Energy access, energy security and climate change are global challenges and therefore have no economic and efficient solutions within national boundaries. This underlines the role of trade in goods and services and makes the global frameworks and rules that govern it an essential building block of the global public good.
Trade and Investment Rules
for Energy - download >
coordinated and collaborative approach delay the necessary international policy convergence. The resulting highly uncertain investment framework makes infrastructure investments unnecessarily risky and we will all pay the risk premium as part of higher energy prices and further delay in climate change mitigation. Critical issues in this context include defining "green goods and services", the legitimacy of "border tax adjustments" to avoid carbon leakage, or the promotion of technology transfer to developing countries. In the interest of our sustainable energy future the World Energy Council promotes dialogue and develops constructive proposals on these issues.

What an honor it was for my wife, Ashley, and me to photograph the beautiful wedding of Ingebeth and Matthew. They had planned a wedding that would be warm, intimate and personal, all within the wintery backdrop of Notodden, Norway. The Landsverk Family (Ingebeth's family) can trace their ancestors back 800 years in the town of Nottodden. This rich family tradition and connection to the town was very important for the couple. Ingebeth chose to get ready and have her pictures taken at the Landsverk Farm, which has been in their family since the 12th century and is where her grandfather was raised. Ingebeth has always had a great fondness for the farm. Her family spent much time there while she was growing up and would even get their Christmas tree each year from the surrounding forest.
Matthew, who was born and raised in the mountains of Virginia, takes great pride in the traditions of both the Landsverk Family and the Norwegian culture. He met Ingebeth in Norway in 2004 while they were working for YWAM. It was a great privilege for Matthew's family and friends to join him for the wedding and to finally experience the place he now calls home.
Ingebeth and Matthew chose to get married in a small church close to the Landsverk Farm, even though it's not the church they attend regularly. They LOVED the church because it was old, small and traditional. It created the romantic and personal environment they craved for their ceremony (and provided an amazing backdrop for shooting!).
Married! More photos at the church and then back to the farm!
The reception took place an hour outside of Notodden at a cozy hotel in the mountains. It didn't snow much during the day, but once we got to the hotel, the snow really starting falling hard. The stage was set for an amazing evening with family and friends, all of which would be staying at the hotel for the night. A Norwegian reception is much like an American rehearsal dinner, full of food and toasts. Ingebeth's friend, Anna Tone, had made all of the decorations at the reception, another important personal touch to the day.
The reception went late into the night, but with all of the guests sleeping at the hotel, everyone was perfectly content with staying and partying. I didn't stop shooting until 2 in the morning when I finally retired to my room. Everyone else stayed until 4 AM. The following morning, all of the guests (and the bride and groom) enjoyed a great brunch. Most of us stayed at the hotel until the afternoon. It was a refreshing time of fellowship, hiking and sledding.
This experience was so refreshing for me as a photographer. I feel so blessed to have been asked to document this day for them and really hope to return to Norway again in the future.

SpeakWrite's on-demand service saves you time and the expense of full-time typists. Our per-word rate can provide large and small offices alike with overhead savings of up to 40% and free up your in-house staff to focus on more important matters. SpeakWrite charges by the word with a minimum charge of 100 words per document. Accounts are invoiced and a current billing statement is always available online by visiting www.speakwrite.com/login.
Use of the SpeakWrite service is completely pay-as-you-go. There are no fixed costs of any kind for using the service or having it available to you 24 hours a day. You are only charged for work transcribed for you, and only at a per word cost for words transcribed. No monthly charges, no minimums, no other charges of any kind. For words transcribed, the cost is:
Type of Work
1.25 cents per word
1.5 cents per word
2.0 cents per word
General - Work not requiring the use of a trained and experienced legal transcriptionist.
Legal - Work requiring the use of a trained and experienced legal transcriptionist.
Group Conversations - Transcription of recorded conversations, interviews, seminars, conference calls or anything which involves more than one person speaking.
New accounts are created as either 'Legal' or 'General' accounts. Thereafter, individual jobs cannot be outside of their account designation (i.e., legal work may not be done using a 'General' account). It is recommended that you set up a 'Legal' account if your work contains legal terminology or formatting. Legal jobs dictated on a 'General' account cannot be transcribed.
Transcriptions of recorded conversations, interviews, conference calls or anything which involves two or more participants is referred to as a Group Conversation within the SpeakWrite system. These transcriptions are typed using our Group Conversation format. When there is audio to be transcribed between two people speaking, the typist will identify 'Speaker 1' and 'Speaker 2' if the two voices are distinguishable. If they are not distinguishable, the typist will use 'Next Speaker' (not by the name of the participant) to avoid confusion and incorrect matching of the speaker with their statement.
SpeakWrite uses the word count feature in Microsoft Word to determine final charges. Since our rates are per word, there are no price variables such as number of pages, length of the dictation, submission method, or audio quality. Each type of dictation submitted is charged the same rate every time. This allows you to easily estimate expenses and budgets and reinforces SpeakWrite as your cost effective solution for dictation.
Words from any client template incorporated into a job are included in the final word count of that job. Text from the header or footer portion of a transcribed document is not included in that word count.
SpeakWrite accounts are billed weekly and charged to the credit card associated with your account. At the end of each week, when your SpeakWrite billing is completed for that week's activity, you are notified by email of the amount of the billing, with a link to the detail of the specific Jobs which the billing covers, the date of each and the amount charged for each Job.
Billing statements, history and itemized work details are always available online at www.speakwrite.com/login. Grouped billing accounts may be available upon request. Questions about your billing statement can be answered by calling Customer Support at (800) 828-3889.

Hibiscuses and asters and chrysanthemums, oh my! Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting certified Master Gardener Susan Kelly of Reynolds' Farms Nursery as she reminded us that Fall is a wonderful time to tend to the garden and try out some new plants that crave the cooler, crisper weather.
In addition to commentating a slide show of over 30 different types of breathtaking fall flowers, plants, and grasses, Susan provided us with tons of great tips for planting, such as when to prune, which flowers love sunlight, the best choices for a rock garden, and how long plants usually take to reach full, picturesque bloom. Want to make the most of your garden, even in economically trying times? Susan suggests inviting all of your friends over for a garden trading party, where everyone shares whatever plants they have an abundance of in their own backyards! Trying to figure out what went wrong with your geranium bush this year? Susan recommends keeping a gardening journal of what has and has not worked for you each season.
Two of our Master Gardener's favorite resources are The Well-Tended Perennial Garden and The Well-Designed Mixed Garden, both by Tracy DiSabato-Aust. Each book contains hundreds of color photographs and takes you from basics to more advanced techniques. DiSabato-Aust's books are unique because the author thinks outside the box (er...outside the garden?) when arranging her plants and flowers, and it translates into an incredible display that is at first risky, but always well-rewarded.
For more information about Connecticut's Master Gardener Program, which combines horticulture training with outreach to the community , click here. Also, check out the new gardening books we have at Darien Library.
Brightening up our night tomorrow night, Starre Vartan, the author of The Eco Chick Guide to Life: How to Live Fabulously Green will be here at 7 p.m. to talk about her book.
We know this is going to be a great program. Janet and I spoke with Starre last week, and not only is she knowledgable, she's also interesting, entertaining, and fun.
Please come and join us tomorrow night!
Refreshments will be served.
It's almost time for our Fall Foreign Film Series...our last film series in this building. It is certainly bittersweet. We are so comfy and used to our present room, but...BUT(!) the auditorium in the new building is so great, I am practically swooning. Pardon me for a moment while I fan myself.
I am very pleased to announce the line up for this year's Foreign Film Series. All movies are on Fridays. They all begin at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 7...and, as most of you know (and anticipate), refreshments will be served. Just a reminder...admission is free.

It is summer, and 30-year-old Antoine is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provence. His father is sick, so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed—driving the family grocery cart from hamlet to hamlet, delivering supplies to the few remaining inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire, a friend from Paris whom he has a secret crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers. This surprise French box-office hit is about the coming-of-age of a man rediscovering life and love in the countryside.
In Japanese with English subtitles

It is 1965 and in Japan, the country has started to shift from coal to oil. One by one, the old mining towns begin their slow decline, but for one small town way up north, its leaders and the local mining company aim to build Japan's first Hawaiian Village as a way to save the town. Hula Girls is a heartwarming comedy about coal miners' daughters who took a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape their monotonous lives, only to become unwitting heroes to their depressed mining town. Based on a true story.

By the evidence of the size of our collective carbon footprint(s), Starre Vartan, author or The Eco Chick Guide to Life: How to Be Fabulously Green, may be arriving just in time. Proving that we don't have to sacrifice style, fun, or fashion to lead an eco-friendly life, we get the opportunity to follow in her very cool, very chic, and very green (and fabulous) footsteps. Starre will be here on Wednesday, September 17th at 7 p.m. to talk about her new book which hits shelves later this month. A book signing will follow the presentation and books will be available for purchase. We'll also have refreshments.
Eco Chick has been featured on national broadcast networks, the Wall Street Journal, Shape magazine, Glamour, The Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, Grist, Treehugger.com, and numerous green blogs. She's apparently all over the place and all over the map, but she's also our neighbor. This native Australian lives (fabulously) right next door in Norwalk and we can't wait to meet her. Join us!
Brad Meltzer is coming to Darien (and that's no lie)!
In his newest book, The Book of Lies, bestselling author Brad Meltzer poses this question: What does Cain, the world's first villain, and Superman, the world's first superhero have in common?
The book comes out on September 2nd and we'll barely have a chance to recover from reading this thriller before Meltzer arrives here at Darien Library to talk about the book! Here's the scoop: Sunday, September 21st, beginning PROMPTLY at 5:30 p.m., Brad Meltzer will be our featured speaker. Following the presentation, there will be a book signing (books will be available for purchase) and a reception. I know! It's big news! Okay, I'll wait while you go mark your calendar...
Meltzer is also the author of The First Counsel, The Millionaires, The Zero Game, The Tenth Justice, and most recently, The Book of Fate), he is legendary for his expertise in comics (he the writer of Justice League, and the author of the top-grossing graphic novel, Identity Crisis).
Journalist Lily Koppel found buried treasure right outside her front door in a NYC dumpster. The treasure was in the form of a little red book; the five-year diary of a young girl -- Florence Wolfson. The years? 1929-1934. The place? Manhattan's Upper West Side. Wow. This is not the NYC I know! And I wanted to know more.
Luckily, Lily did a great job with this story. She tracked down Florence, who now lives in Connecticut (and Florida), and is in her 90s. Florence's still-sharp memory fills in the blanks of the short daily entries in the diary which, despite the crumbling pages, sparkle with intelligence, culture, curiosity, sophistication, and intimacy. What's resulted is a fascinating memoir -- The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal.
The diary is quite revealing and we can find out even more when Lily comes to the Library on Thursday, October 2nd at 7 p.m. to talk about the book and this adventure! There will be a book signing following the presentation. Books will be available for purchase and refreshments will be served. Please join us!
Eighteen of the 39 Groovy Gardeners who helped tend our library garden this summer gathered on August 21 to enjoy the fruits of their labors. The lively and enthusiastic group enjoyed pizza accompanied by salad which included squash, cucumbers, pear tomatoes, peppers, and nasturtium blossoms nurtured by them. In addition, we had eggplant dip, dill dip, basil dressing and iced mint tea made from vegetables and herbs we grew. One young gardener wished we could have grown a pizza plant! We topped off the meal with ice cream and cookies, and sang "Happy Birthday" to one attendee who chose to eat vegetables with us on her special day.
The weather is cooling and the back-to-school ads are running- it must be time to start planning for Fall and (yikes!) Winter. Before you get out your snowshoes or plan that apple-picking excursion, here's what's coming to the Darien Library:
On October 19th, the Library's Annual Meeting will start at 5pm. The featured speaker will be popular local author Philip Van Munching.
Many of you have been asking about our upcoming move. Here's the plan: the current building will close on November 26th at 6pm. The New Darien Library will have its grand opening on January 10th, 2009.
Our fall author visits will be as spectacular as the foliage

Thomas: Westmont Library staff celebrate another exceptional summer
As summer draws to a close and families prepare to head back to school, the staff at Westmont Public Library likes to reflect on the summer reading program and all that was accomplished in a few short months.
After giving hundreds of prizes and coupons, reading dozens of stories and making lots of creative crafts, we are feeling grateful for the parents and caregivers who made the library a part of their summer.
Studies show that without continued practice over the summer months, kids are at risk for losing those hard-earned reading and comprehension skills they learn during the school year.

Tyrus, while I am certainly not an astrologist, I would think that the non-predictive use of astrology would lie in researching your birth chart to see what you are "hard-wired" for in terms of the gifts and personality traits you were born with. Understanding these things can help you make the best use of your gifts and sometimes help you make peace with certain aspects of who you are. Similarly, an appreciation of what is happening astrologically each day, can help you make better use of the energy personally, and possibly shed some light on why things are proceeding as they are.
I don't know why you couldn't start with this subject. If this where your interest lies, go for it.

Craftsman 22k Gold Plated Wrench Set
Filed under: Gadgets
Guys always love tools, and although getting wrenches is almost always useful (they get left and lost everywhere) it's hardly exciting -- getting more wrenches is kinda like getting more socks: oh yay. But these wrenches are something else altogether: available from Sears, this Craftsman 4 pc. set of full polish reversible ratcheting standard wrenches is fully plated in 22k gold. Set comes in an engraved walnut display box and is adorned with the 80th anniversary logo. A truly unique luxury gift for the guy who's got everything! $119.99
