We visited the kilns during our second day in Death Valley. It is not a short drive, but it is a very interesting, peaceful spot. Be careful driving, as we experienced a flat tire on the drive out, as did the car in front of us.
We visited the kilns during our second day in Death Valley. It is not a short drive, but it is a very interesting, peaceful spot. Be careful driving, as we experienced a flat tire on the drive out, as did the car in front of us.
We decided not to subject our car tires to any more rough rock exposure so we parked at the end of the pavement and hiked up ("up" is the important word) 2 miles to the kilns. It's a pretty good incline for the entire hike there (but it's all downhill back). Very interesting to see and worth the hike. The... More
The kilns are an interesting stopping point at DVNP and are in excellent condition. The Wildrose peak trail starts at the site of the first kiln as you enter the parking lot. This trail is 8 miles R/T with an elevation gain of two thousand feet and is a very worthwhile hike as it offers wonderful views of the valley... More
The trip to the kilns is as fascinating as the kilns themselves. Every bend in the road--and there are many--provides another stunning view, whether it's an up close look at wildly folded rocks or a distant view across the Panamints to the Sierras. I like the magnificent engineering and artistry of the kilns--and their silence. If you enter by way... More
The kilns themselves are amazing enough but this is all about the journey. I approached the kilns via Panamint Valley Road rather than Emigrant Canyon Road. The road and countryside around Wildrose are extraordinary and beautiful. The route is also largely enclosed by shrubs and hills which, if you dislike driving along the edge of precipices as I do, is... More
10 little beehives in a row! Each could process 44 cords of wood into charcoal for use in the Modoc and Minietta mines across the Panamint Valley for smelting silver and lead. Wonderful views, neat place.
The road winds through the desert and into the high desert until the elevation is high enough for the visitor to enjoy snow in Death Valley. The kilns are massive with ten still stadning. There was evidence of more kilns which must have made up a full second row of kilns. It reminded me of the ingenuity of humankind to... More
This destination offers a sense of history. Although its remote, its a great drive for relaxing, no traffic, just quiet and fresh air.
Though I thought this was pretty cool and adds to the story of Death Valley, the road was pretty rough those last two miles and there's not much else this way unless you have the appropriate vehicle for passage. We had an SUV, but the driving was rough. Stop if you are heading to Wildrose.
These kilns are located at the Wildrose peak trail-head. By themselves, they can be skipped: interesting, perhaps, but not worth the trek all the way out there for their own sake.

November Conversation with MSU President Dr. Randy Dunn
Dr. Dunn joined Chad Lampe for his monthly chat at WKMS last week. In this conversation Dr. Dunn discusses MSU's enrollment growth and hones in on some of the specifics, including an uptick in first time freshman students and significant growth in international student enrollment.
Dr. Dunn also talks about the need for remedial courses at MSU and how Kentucky's new core content (K-PREP) tests give the university an indication of how many incoming students from the region will need remediation.
We also get an update on the budget planning and review process ongoing at MSU, and what a preliminary report to the board of regents might look like at the December quarterly meeting. Dr. Dunn also provides more insight into his decision to self-select out of his candidacy for Missouri State's Presidency and uncertainty surrounding his contract with Murray State.

Book Review: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The Art and Creation of Walt Disney's Classic Animated Film
San Francisco, Weldon Owen, October 2012, hardcover $35.00 (256 pages).
This book and The Fairest One of All: The Making of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, also by J. B. Kaufman, are companion volumes published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the premiere of the first Hollywood animated theatrical feature in December 1937. Both are indispensable for Disney and animation fans alike. The Fairest One of All: The Making of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is indispensable also for those interested in the history of cinema in general, for those interested in pre-Disney stage and cinematic productions of the Snow White folk tale, and for those interested in the history of the Disney studio from the late 1920s to the present.
This volume, a massive hardcover 10.7" x 9.8" and weighing almost 3 ½ pounds, just concentrates on the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, from 1934 to 1937; an expansion of the similar section in The Fairest One of All. It is based on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The Creation of a Classic", an exhibition of art from the Walt Disney Family Museum, the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, and art borrowed from several private collectors, from November 15, 2012 to April 14, 2013 at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. It presents "over 200 pieces of art, including original concept sketches, background paintings, and production cels, as well as alternate character concepts, deleted scenes, and step-by-step process shots." (jacket text) It is essentially the catalogue of the exhibition.

Yesterday I began with the thought: I don't love this life. I love what makes it possible. And that is a very impersonal view. I think it's worth trying to understand what taking an impersonal view toward life entails. After all, we only know our own experiences – what else is there?
An impersonal view of life is really just a perspective. Let's think about the weather. The fact that it's cold out, or hot, is not personal to me. If I'm in a rush and there's a traffic jam, it isn't personal to me. The sun rising or setting, high tide or low tide, the wind, the rain – none of these are about me personally, though they surely do effect how I go about my day.
How about a boss yelling at me? Or a family member criticizing one of my decisions? Before we answer that, have we considered the pressures a boss might be under? Or the journey through life that has caused a loved one to be critical? We all bring so much baggage to the present moment, it is usually that baggage that is in play, and not truly who we are.
When we act impatiently, or unkindly, toward others, isn't that just a reflection of something personal going on in our lives? We're tired, we have a nagging pain, we feel short of money, we feel alone, we haven't taken care of something that we know we should have sorted out. All our interactions with fellow humans in a given day are, for the most part, acts of one person (or group) reacting, from a personal perspective, toward another. Often, we don't even know why we say certain things or why we do certain things.
So much of the trouble and stress we encounter is actually caused by people acting personally in situations where it's inappropriate. When someone says something mean, they act personally. The worst thing we can do is act personally in response, because that just feeds the fire that has been lit.
In this sense, we spend all of our lives reacting personally to others who are also acting personally. It's the most contagious virus I can imagine. So the idea here is to break that cycle.
When you think about it, all our sensitivity, all our brain power, and all our intuitive insight is part of a design that is meant to give us information about what is going on around us. When that information triggers a prior experience, it becomes personal to us – but that is a learned behavior, not a natural one. With all the TV shows highlighting forensic investigations, it's clear that the answers to every puzzle lie in the assessment of the data, not in anyone's personal feelings about the data. And more data is always better.
So it should be with us as we go through our life. We should examine all the data available to us and act in the most sensible way – in a way that serves our purposes. We have an incredible ability to detect what is going on in others, yet we can't control others – we can only control what effects us.
How does that play out in real life? Well, if someone is rude or mean to us, we can understand that they are going through some difficulty of their own. They are most likely doing it unconsciously from some old pattern that is playing through them. That's a human perspective. We can either choose to not take part and keep moving or, if it is a situation we need to stay in, we can have compassion for (or stay neutral toward) whatever it is that they are dealing with, as we might hope another would have for us in a similar situation.
And it doesn't mean we aren't engaged in life. The fact of it is, if we are truly forensic about what we experience – in and of itself, without prior baggage – we will be in a much better position to make the next right decision as we continue on our way. Being on an emotional roller coaster all day long is incredibly draining and doesn't help us do anything.
Feelings themselves are beautiful – they are what make us truly human – when we are conscious about them. Taking an impersonal view toward life doesn't imply detachment, it points to a deeper, more subtle understanding of the way things really are.
How often have we hoped to accomplish something and known that we needed to see the facts clearly and state our case succinctly to have success? So we make a list of pros and cons, or we take a walk to clear our head. Well the journey of life requires just such clarity to navigate it in the most productive, least stressful way.
When we take that first step back from personal involvement, we will quickly see how personally involved everyone else is. And in that moment we will know that it is not a natural, or healthy, way for us to proceed.

GED Testing Service® is releasing a new version of the GED® Test on January 1, 2014. Individuals who have tested on the current 2002 GED® Test Series must complete the exam series by December 2013. Scores from the 2002 Series Will Not be combined with scores for the new assessment. Candidates who do not complete the current series will have to meet the requirements of the new test, starting January 1, 2014. If you need to schedule a test, contact your local testing center (see link below).
The GED® Tests cannot be taken online and can only be taken at an official testing center. See information below for a list of approved testing sites that are open to the public.
A limited number of testing centers are offering the GED® computer-based test (CBT) in the following counties: Comanche, Custer, Kay, Stephens, and Tulsa. Find out more about GED® CBT or register for the GED® CBT. This is not an online test, you must take the GED® test at an approved GED® testing site.
Attention GED® test-takers: Adults who take the GED® test on computer are scoring higher and finishing faster. In fact, 88% of people passed the GED® test on computer compared to 71% for those who tested on paper.
We're so confident you'll do well that if you don't pass your first GED® test subject on computer, GED Testing Service will pay for your second shot! It's that simple. You pass or they pay.
The GED Testing Program is used to certify high school-level knowledge and skills, and allows adults to prove what they know. The test provides a uniform measure of high school achievement, and is nationally recognized as a measure of high school knowledge and skills. Upon passing the GED Tests in Oklahoma, examinees will receive an Oklahoma State High School Diploma.
The GED Tests measure communication, information-processing, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills in five content areas: reading, writing (including an essay on an assigned topic), mathematics, science, and social studies. The complete test battery lasts 7 ½ hours. The tests are rigorous; GED candidates must meet or exceed the performance of the top 60% of graduating high school seniors. This means that four out of 10 traditional high school graduates could not pass the GED Tests.
The GED Testing program is jointly administered by the GED Testing Service of the American Council on Education and each participating state department of education. There are approximately 3,500 official GED Testing Centers in the United States, Canada, and overseas.
For adults who have not earned a high school credential, passing the GED tests can be a first step towards a better future. The GED high school credential is accepted by more than 95 percent of U.S. employers, colleges, and universities. Passing the GED Tests can mean a better job, further training, or higher education. Achieving the goal to earn a high school diploma can also improve an individual's self-image, and parents encourage their children to finish school.
If you are planning to take the GED Tests, you are not alone. In 2001, more than 1 million adults worldwide took the GED Tests. Almost 670,000 earned their jurisdiction's high school diploma by passing the GED Tests. According to the American Council on Education, about one in seven high school diplomas issued in the United States each year is based on passing the GED Tests.

The corruption in politics is something that has been around as long as people have been allowed to run for office. It's been hard to take a congressman or some elected official, put them in the middle of people who have money and want power and not expect them to be corrupted. Just the lure of the job and the money that most jobs of a political nature pay it's easy to see why so many people are corrupted. So there have been smart minds talking and working on a solution to come up with that will ease some of the corruption. It's a term limit.
To be more specific it's a one term limit and it makes the most sense. Many politicians aren't doing their job. Instead of being on kissinsights.com to make sure that they are doing what they can to get reelected. They are seeing their office as a chance to keep the people with the most money and influence happy. While that's great for their bottom line it's a problem for the men and women who have worked so hard in order to elect officials that will give them a better life.
So one term would allow elected officials to not have to focus on the campaigns and reelection. Instead they could focus on just doing things for the betterment of their own area and hopefully doing the things they are supposed to do, which is make a difference. That's what politics should be about.

Hello, I discovered you can not have flash player on Safari in iPhone. Is there any way to get it installed?
There is no straight forward way of doing it, however, you know how people get their iphone unlocked? that's 'jail breaking' means they go out of the iPhoneOS to do that. What you need to do, is to download and install an application package 'Cyndia' and then install 'iMobileCinema' plug-in in it and your Safari will start running flash player. My advise will be to not to go that way and wait for Adobe to release iPhone flash player.


text: The teams walk around the pitch before the match starts. The players are lined up in numerical order, and the numbers determine what position they play. They don't have names on their jerseys, so you have to know a player's number to know where he is and what he's doing. Goalies are 1, and the starters' numbers go up to 15, then the subs have the next numbers after that, starting with the sub goalie with 16.

Martha Stewart (born Martha Helen Kostyra; August 3, 1941) is an American business magnate, writer, and television personality. As founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, she has gained success through a variety of business ventures, encompassing publishing, broadcasting, merchandising, and electronic commerce. She has written numerous bestselling books and is the publisher of the Martha Stewart Living magazine, while her syndicated talk show, Martha, is broadcast internationally.
In 2004, Stewart was convicted of charges related to the ImClone insider trading affair and there was speculation that the incident would effectively end her media empire.[2][3][4] She began a comeback campaign in 2005[5] and her company returned to profitability in 2006.[6] Stewart rejoined the board of directors of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 2011[7] and became chairman of her namesake company again in 2012.[8]
Early life[edit]
Martha Stewart was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. She is the second of six children[9] born to middle-class Edward "Eddie" Kostyra (1912–1979) and Martha Ruszkowski Kostyra (1914–2007), and is of entirely Polish heritage.[10][11][12] In an episode of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., it was discovered that Martha Stewart's matrilineal line is W6 and has its roots in the Lipka Tatar people of Poland. When Stewart was three years old, the family moved to Nutley.[13][14][15] She adopted the name "Grace" for her confirmation name.[16]
When Stewart was 10, she worked as the occasional babysitter for the children of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Gil McDougald, all players for the New York Yankees. Mickey and Merlyn Mantle had four sons, for whom Stewart watched and organized birthday parties.[17] She also began modeling. At 13, Stewart was featured in a television commercial for Unilever.[18] She went on to appear in television commercials and in magazines, including one of Tareyton's "Smokers would rather fight than switch!" cigarette advertisements.[citation needed] During her college years, she supplemented her scholarship money through "modeling jobs at $50/hour — which was a lot of money at that time.[19] Her clients included Chanel.[20]
Stewart's mother taught her how to cook and sew. Later, she learned the processes of canning and preserving when she visited her grandparents' home in Buffalo, New York.[citation needed] Her father had a passion for gardening and passed on much of his knowledge and expertise to his daughter.[citation needed] Stewart was also active in many extracurricular activities, such as the school newspaper and the Art Club.[citation needed]
Stewart graduated from Nutley High School. She originally planned to attend Barnard College with a major in chemistry. She switched to art, European History, and later architectural history. During this time, she met Andrew Stewart, who finished his law degree at Yale Law School. They married in 1961.[21] She returned to Barnard a year after their marriage to graduate with a double major in History and Architectural History.[22]
Andrew and Martha Stewart moved to Westport, Connecticut where they purchased and restored the 1805 farmhouse on Turkey Hill Road that would later become the model for the TV studio of Martha Stewart Living. During the project, Stewart's panache for restoring and decorating became apparent. In 1976, Stewart started a catering business in her basement with a friend from her modeling days, Norma Collier. The venture quickly became successful, but soured when Collier alleged that Stewart was difficult to work with, and was also taking catering jobs on the side. Stewart soon bought her portion of the business. Stewart was also hired as the manager of a gourmet food store, the Market Basket, but after a disagreement with the owners at the mini-mall she was forced out and opened her own store.[23]
Andrew had become the president of prominent New York City publisher, Harry N. Abrams, Inc.. In 1977, he was responsible for releasing the English-language edition of The Secret Book of Gnomes series, by Dutch authors Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, which quickly became a blockbuster success and was on The New York Times Best Seller list. He contracted Stewart's company to cater the book release party, where Stewart was introduced to Alan Mirken, head of Crown Publishing Group.[24]
Mirken was impressed by Stewart's talent and later contacted her to develop a cookbook, featuring recipes and photos from the parties that Stewart hosted. The result was her first book, Entertaining (December 13, 1982),[25] ghostwritten by Elizabeth Hawes.[26]
Following Entertaining's success, Stewart released many more books under the Clarkson Potter publishing imprint, including Martha Stewart's Quick Cook (1983), Martha Stewart's Hors D'oeuvres (1984), Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts (1985), Weddings (1987), The Wedding Planner (1988), Martha Stewart's Quick Cook Menus (1988), and Martha Stewart's Christmas (1989), among others. During this time, she also authored dozens of newspaper columns, magazine articles and other pieces on homemaking, and made numerous television appearances on programs such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live. Andrew and Martha Stewart separated in 1987 and divorced in 1990.[21][27]
Later career[edit]
In 1990, she also signed with Time Publishing Ventures to develop a new magazine, Martha Stewart Living, for which Stewart would serve as editor-in-chief. The first issue was released in late 1990 with an initial rate base of 250,000. Circulation would peak in 2002 at more than 2 million copies per issue. In 1993, she began a weekly half-hour service program based on her magazine, which was quickly expanded to a full hour, and later to a daily format, with half-hour episodes on weekends. Stewart also became a frequent contributor to CBS's The Early Show, and starred in several prime time holiday specials on the CBS network.
On the cover of the May 1995 issue, New York Magazine declared her "the definitive American woman of our time".
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia[edit]
In September 1997, with the assistance of business partner Sharon Patrick, Stewart was able to secure funding to purchase the various television, print, and merchandising ventures related to the Martha Stewart brand, and consolidate them into a new company, named Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Stewart served as chairman, president, and CEO of the new company and Patrick became Chief Operations Officer. By organizing all of the brand's assets under one roof, Stewart felt she could promote synergy and have greater control of the brand's direction through the business's activities. That same month Stewart announced in Martha Stewart Living the launch of a companion website and a catalogue business, called Martha by Mail. The company also has a direct-to-consumer floral business.
On October 19, 1999, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MSO. The initial public offering was set at $18 per share, and rallied to $38 by the end of trading, making Stewart a billionaire on paper and the first female, self-made billionaire in the US. The stock price slowly went down to $16 per share by February 2002. Stewart was then and continues to be the majority shareholder, commanding 96% control of voting power in the company.
Stock trading case and conviction[edit]
According to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Stewart avoided a loss of $45,673 by selling all 3,928 shares of her ImClone Systems stock on December 27, 2001, after receiving material, nonpublic information from Peter Bacanovic, who was Stewart's broker at Merrill Lynch. The day following her sale, the stock value fell 16%.[28]
In the months that followed, Stewart drew heavy media scrutiny, including a Newsweek cover headlined "Martha's Mess". Notably, on June 25, 2002, CBS anchor Jane Clayson grilled Stewart on the air about ImClone during her regular segment on The Early Show. Stewart continued chopping cabbage and famously quipped, "I just want to focus on my salad".[29] On October 3, 2002, Stewart resigned her position, held for four months, on the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange, following a deal prosecutors had made with Douglas Faneuil, an assistant to Bacanovic.[30]
On June 4, 2003, Stewart was indicted by the government on nine counts, including charges of securities fraud and obstruction of justice. Stewart voluntarily stepped down as CEO and Chairwoman of MSLO, but stayed on as chief creative officer. She went on trial in January 2004. Prosecutors showed that Bacanovic had ordered his assistant to tell Stewart that the CEO of ImClone, Samuel D. Waksal, was selling all his shares in advance of an adverse Food and Drug Administration ruling. The FDA action was expected to cause ImClone shares to decline.[31]
After a highly publicized six-week jury trial, Stewart was found guilty in March 2004 of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators, and was sentenced in July 2004 to serve a five-month term in a federal correctional facility and a two-year period of supervised release (to include five months of electronic monitoring).[31]
Bacanovic and Waksal were also convicted of federal charges and sentenced to prison terms.[32][33] Stewart also paid a fine of $30,000.[34]
In August 2006, the SEC announced that it had agreed to settle the related civil case against Stewart. Under the settlement, Stewart agreed to disgorge $58,062 (including interest from the losses she avoided), as well as a civil penalty of three times the loss avoided, or $137,019. She also agreed to a five-year ban from serving as a director, CEO, CFO, or any other officer role responsible for preparing, auditing, or disclosing financial results of any public company.[35] In June 2008, the UK Border Agency refused to grant her a visa to enter the United Kingdom because of her criminal conviction for obstructing justice. She had been planning to speak at the Royal Academy on fashion and leisure industry matters.[36]
Stewart wanted to go to prison in Connecticut or Florida. She did not want to serve at Federal Prison Camp, Alderson in West Virginia, due to its remote location; in 2004, her lawyer said that the remoteness would make it difficult for Stewart's then-90-year old mother to visit.[37] Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum recommended to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that Stewart be given her first choice, Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, or her second choice, Federal Correctional Complex, Coleman.[38] However, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice said that the BOP would not send her to FCI Danbury because the news media could too easily access the facility. The bureau could not send Stewart to FCC Coleman because of complications from Hurricane Ivan; the Coleman complex filled because inmates from Federal Correctional Institution, Marianna were moved to Coleman. Therefore, the Federal Bureau of Prisons assigned Stewart to Alderson. The spokesperson said that he was concerned that the assignment to Alderson could be perceived as being vindictive.[37] Alexis Stewart said that she believed that the BOP "may have made a point of sending her far away".[39]
Cedarbaum ordered Stewart to report to her prison sentence before 2:00 p.m. on October 8, 2004.[38] By September 27, 2004, Stewart received the BOP ID 55170-054.[38][40] At about 6:15 a.m. on October 8, 2004,[41] she reported to FPC Alderson.[42] Stewart said that her prison nickname was "M. Diddy".[43] While in confinement, she took a job and became an informal liaison between the administration and her fellow inmates. The People special, Scandals! That Rocked America, stated "Some expected America's goddess of domestic perfection to fall into terminal despair. Instead, with the drive that would make her a billionaire, Stewart took her lemon of a sentence and made lemonade. Heck, she made a lemon soufflé."[44] Stewart was released from FPC Alderson at 12:30 a.m. on March 4, 2005.[45] She was then placed in a two-year term of supervised release; during five of those months, she was placed in home confinement with electronic monitoring.[41][45] Stewart served her home confinement at her residence in Bedford, New York.[43] She was allowed to leave her house for 48 hours per week for work-related visits.[46] After her home confinement ended, but while her supervised release continued, she was required to remain employed and not to associate with people with criminal records. In addition, during the supervised release, she was required to receive permission from federal officials if she was going to leave the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.[47]
Current projects[edit]
Following her release from prison in March 2005, Stewart launched a highly publicized comeback, and was once again involved in Martha Stewart Living. Offerings of her company's Martha Stewart Everyday line at Kmart were expanded to include a new line of ready-made home furnishings, and its mass market interior paint line became available at the larger Sears stores. However, the most heavily promoted aspect of her comeback was in television. Stewart returned to daytime television with The Martha Stewart Show and appeared in an adapted version of The Apprentice (called The Apprentice: Martha Stewart). Both shows premiered in September 2005, and both were produced by Mark Burnett. Her prime time Apprentice spin-off received poor ratings, which some[who?] attribute to popular dislike for the opportunistic tone of the network's massive promotional campaign and to NBC's slotting the show up against the hit drama Lost. The Apprentice: Martha Stewart was not renewed for a second season.
In October 2005, Stewart also released a new book titled The Martha Rules on starting and managing a new business, and a month later her company released Martha Stewart Baking Handbook. In October 2006, Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook, a reference book about looking after a house, was published by Clarkson Potter. She also is a regular contributor of cooking, gardening, and crafts segments on NBC's Today show. Stewart's daily talk show was nominated in six categories for the 33rd Daytime Emmy Awards in 2006, including Best Host and Best Show.
MSLO launched a line of houses that carry her name to be built by KB Home, initially in Cary, North Carolina, and various other locations nationwide. The first homes, which were inspired by Stewart's homes in New York and Mount Desert Island in Maine, were completed in early 2006. Ultimately 650 homes are planned with prices from low $200,000 to mid-$400,000s. A line of paper-based crafts for EK Success is also in development. In September 2007, she launched an upscale line of homewares for Macy's, which was the largest brand launch in Macy's history. Appearing in commercials for the line, Stewart stated she has designed more than 2,000 items exclusively for Macy's. The line includes bedding, bath, cookware and dinnerware. In addition to television and merchandising, MSLO launched a 24-hour satellite radio channel with Sirius in November 2005, on which Stewart currently hosts a weekly call-in show.
Stewart also made a special appearance on the comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, in the November 16, 2006 episode "Four Thanksgivings and a Funeral", in which she gave her friend Wilhelmina Slater (played by Vanessa Williams) tips on how to prepare a turkey. Justin Suarez (played by Mark Indelicato) is a fan of Stewart.
In July 2006, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced a multi-year agreement with FLOR, Inc., the eco-friendly manufacturer of high-style modular floor coverings, to manufacture and market a new line of Martha Stewart-branded carpet tiles. The Martha Stewart Floor Designs by FLOR[48] line debuted in 2007 with the distinctive design and color palette associated with the Martha Stewart brand. The agreement with FLOR was part of the Martha Stewart organization's growing home furnishings program, which includes a wide range of products such as furniture with Bernhardt, wall color with Lowe's, and floor coverings with FLOR.
On September 14, 2007, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced that it had signed a partnership with E & J Gallo Winery to produce a wine brand with label "Martha Stewart Vintage" (for sale in six cities, January, at $15). The 15,000 cases to be sold include: 2006 Sonoma County Chardonnay, 2005 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Sonoma County Merlot (for Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, North Carolina, Denver, Phoenix, and Portland, Oregon). Martha Stewart also signed a contract with Costco to offer frozen and fresh food (label – Kirkland Signature).[49]
In July 2008, craft items under the names "Martha Stewart Celebrate" and "Martha Stewart Create", two divisions of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, premiered in Wal-Mart stores. The deal came about in part due to the closing of more than 600 K-Mart stores in the U.S. In a move from broadcast television to cable, on January 26, 2010, Hallmark Channel and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced a multi-year strategic partnership. Her hour-long daytime television series, Martha, formerly The Martha Stewart Show, moved to the Hallmark Channel on September 13, 2010. It aired on Hallmark for two seasons, before cancellation in early 2012, with the final episode airing on May 11, 2012.[50][51]
New York Magazine reported in 2011 that Martha Stewart Living had only made a profit in one of the previous eight years.[52] Stewart debuted a new 30-minute show, Martha Bakes, on the Hallmark Channel in 2011.[53]
Stewart made another foray into acting with a debut on the long-running NBC legal drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She played a private school headmaster in the episode entitled "Learning Curve", which aired in April 2012.[54]
A new television series, Martha Stewart's Cooking School, debuted on PBS in October 2012. Each weekly 30-minute episode covers cooking techniques and basics.[55][56] It is based on her book of the same name.[57]
Personal life[edit]
Stewart's first husband was Andrew Stewart.[citation needed] Their only child, a daughter named Alexis, was born in 1965. Martha and Andrew Stewart divorced in 1987. Subsequently, Stewart dated Sir Anthony Hopkins, but ended the relationship after she saw The Silence of the Lambs. She stated she was unable to avoid associating Hopkins with the character of Hannibal Lecter.[58][59]
Stewart reportedly dated billionaire Charles Simonyi, who was an early employee of Microsoft and head of their software group, on-and-off for 15 years. She featured footage of him as a space tourist aboard Soyuz on her television show in 2007. They broke up around February 2008.[60]
Stewart is an avid animal lover. Her pets include champion show Chow Chow dogs, French Bulldogs, Himalayan cats, and Friesian horses, including her dark horse Rutger.[61] Stewart also created a video[62] on behalf of fur-bearing animals after being approached by PETA while in jail. Stewart stated, "I used to wear real fur, but, like many others, I had a change of heart when I learned what actually happens to the animals".[63] Stewart filmed a public service announcement on behalf of the farm animal welfare organization Farm Sanctuary.[64]
Martha Kostyra, Stewart's mother, died at the age of 93 on November 16, 2007.[65] Martha Kostyra, also called "Big Martha" by her family, had appeared on Martha Stewart Living numerous times.
Stewart currently resides in Katonah, New York, a hamlet of Bedford, New York. She also maintains a 35,000 square foot residence on Mount Desert Island in Seal Harbor, Maine, known as 'Skylands', the former summer estate of automobile designer and tycoon Edsel Ford, with gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen (1922).[66][67]
In 2011, Stewart was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.[68]

Archaic period in North America
The Archaic period in North America is a period defined by the archaic stage of cultural development.
Archaic stage[edit]
In the sequence of North American pre-Columbian cultural stages first proposed by Gordon Willey and Philip Phillips in 1958,[1] the Archaic stage or "Meso-Indian period"[2] was the second period of human occupation in the Americas, from around 8000 to 2000 BC. As its ending is defined by the adoption of sedentary farming, this date can vary "significantly across the Americas".
The Archaic period followed the Lithic stage and was superseded by the Formative stage.[3]
- The Lithic stage
- The Archaic stage
- The Formative stage
- The Classic stage
- The Post-Classic stage
The Archaic stage is characterized by subsistence economies supported through the exploitation of nuts, seeds, and shellfish. Numerous local variations have been identified. The period has been subdivided by region and then time. For instance, the Archaic Southwest tradition is subdivided into the Dieguito-Pinto, Oshara, Cochise and Chihuahua cultures.[4]
Archaic stage in North America[edit]
Since the 1990s, secure dating of multiple Middle Archaic sites in northern Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida have challenged traditional models of development, as hunter-gatherer societies in the Lower Mississippi Valley organized to build monumental mound complexes as early as 3500 BC (confirmed at Watson Brake), with building continuing over a period of 500 years. Such early mound sites as Frenchman's Bend and Hedgepeth were of this time period; all were localized societies. Watson Brake is now considered the oldest mound complex in the Americas,[5] preceding that built at Poverty Point (both are in northern Louisiana) by nearly 2,000 years. More than 100 sites have been identified as associated with the regional Poverty Point culture of the Late Archaic period, and it was part of a regional trading network across the Southeast.
Across what is now the Southeastern United States, starting around 4000 BC, people exploited wetland resources, creating large shell middens. Middens developed along rivers, but there is limited evidence of Archaic peoples along coastlines prior to 3000 BC. Archaic sites on the coast may have been inundated by rising sea levels (one site in 15 to 20 feet of water off St. Lucie County, Florida has been dated to 2800 BC). Starting around 3000 BC evidence of large-scale exploitation of oysters appears. During the period 3000 BC to 1000 BC shell rings, large shell middens more or less surrounding open centers, developed along the coast of the Southeastern United States. These shell rings are numerous in South Carolina and Georgia, but are also found scattered around the Florida Peninsula and along the Gulf of Mexico coast as far west as the Pearl River. In some places, such as Horr's Island in Southwest Florida, resources were rich enough to support sizable mound-building communities year-round. Four shell and/or sand mounds on Horr's Island have been dated to between 4870 and 4270 Before Present (BP).[6][7]

I had to try this because it was this beer that was the inspiration to Greg Koch, CEO of Stone Brewing, for going into the beer brewing business. I have changed my rating to a higher level based on several things: 1. There was no refrigeration when this style was created and when this brewer went into business. 2. They actually created this style, Steam Beer, and were very creative at the time in making a lager work. 3. I have respect for elders and this company is one of the eldest. Forgive me Bros for having to go through the second act and letting it warm to room temperature to get the essence of this style and this beer. A: Aggressive pour. Giant, slightly off-white head slowly receding into a cloud like formation and then slowly settling to a foam across the surface. Sticky lacing on the side of the glass. Reddish amber color. S: Smells kind of fruity but not sure which fruit. Some hops. Some malt. T: About the same. M: The carbonation gives it a little bite and the rest is pretty smooth. Easy on the mouth. O: I guess I am seeing the Bros rate it so highly due to the respect it deserves for longevity in the brewing industry and the true to style characteristics based on the fact that Anchor Brewing actually created the style. Its a very drinkable beer but not my favorite style in general. If you like this style, this beer pretty much defines it. While I tend to gravitate to stronger, more robust, modern styles, I can see however where 150 years ago, brewing this kind of beer was a most awesome achievement! Go Anchor!!!

LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 21, 2013
It is sad to see that Oracle is finally starting to destroy RedHat as a FOSS company. RedHat should not take the bait.
What RedHat is doing is a (admittedly very limited) form of vendor locking. I doubt this will end well since they cannot do anything about leaks (which they might not even know about).
Commitment to Open ?
Posted Mar 5, 2011 12:40 UTC (Sat) by rahulsundaram (subscriber, #21946) [Link]
Maybe it is. Unless a copyright holder makes the claim in court that a single tarball doesn't satisfy the license terms, it makes no difference. Arm chair lawyering in LWN serves no real purpose.
Posted Mar 5, 2011 15:24 UTC (Sat) by ewan (subscriber, #5533) [Link]
There is no good outcome for Red Hat here; either this move pisses off community people and doesn't inconvenience Oracle at all, or it does inconvenience Oracle and they sue.
Really, aside from anything else, can you imagine how embarrassing it would be for Red Hat to defend, or even lose, a GPL enforcement case to Oracle?
It'll be interesting indeed...
Posted Mar 5, 2011 16:01 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
Wow. Interesting theory we have here. Now, why will they sue? RedHat have not invented this "monolythic-patch-for-everyone, VCS access to selected few" scheme. This distinction belongs to other well-known organization: FSF. For quite a few years GCC, Emacs and other FSF-sponsored programs were developed behind the closed doors and only releases were dumped on FTP. Essentially what the RedHat is doing. To argue that RedHat treats GPL improperly you must argue that FSF treated GPL improperly for years - and this is not so easy to do, believe me.
P.S. It's interesting to note that community was pissed off back then too - but they fixed it introducing EGCS fork which was accepted by everyone, no by using courts to sue FSF.

No, it isn't. FSF requires copyright assignment before they accept your changes. Once you have assigned copyright to them, they can well do as they please with your changes, i.e., distributing them (or not) in whatever form they desire. Nobody has any legal standing to sue them over what they do with their own stuff.
Once somebody else gets, say, GCC, from the FSF, they are bound to honor GPL. Saying that FSF usually has distributed their packages only as monolithic tarballs is sort of a red hering. But others have followed suit, and FSF didn't say a word. So, in a sense they have set an example by their own actions and what they have allowed historically. And this could presumably be important in case some court considers ruling on what GPL's meaning of "preferred form for modification" really means.
Also don't forget that for the most part of its history Linux itself was distributed as tarball + monolithic patches as the only format available, and later (in the bitkeeper days) that was still the canonical format. This does weight a lot against the "git trees are the preferred form" arguments.
Actually they do...

Nobody has any legal standing to sue them over what they do with their own stuff.
Actually they do. FSF's copyright assignment includes promises to the contributor, but yes, it's not GPL, it's separate assignment. It includes words like "machine-readable source code", but does not include words like "preferred form", so it's more relevant to spirit discussion and less relevant to legal discussion.
But others have followed suit, and FSF didn't say a word.
Actually they said lots of words about Cygnus (which had roughly similar policy to today's RedHat) - and most of them were bad. But again, they were about moral responsibility, etc - and not about legality...
Posted Mar 5, 2011 23:36 UTC (Sat) by zonker (subscriber, #7867) [Link]
Er, on what grounds? RHAT is perhaps doing the bare minimum required by the GPL - but they are doing it.
What this does does not prevent Oracle from recompiling the kernel and running it, nor does it thwart studying the kernel, etc. It just means that they have to do detective work to figure out what's changed and where. Unless I'm mistaken about the GPL, there is no requirement whatsoever to provide any commentary on changes or break changes out as patches from the original source - only that you have to supply the changes, which they've done, but as part of the overall kernel.
I can't see Oracle having any cause to sue, even if they are (I hope) inconvenienced by this.
Posted Mar 6, 2011 0:42 UTC (Sun) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link]
Sorry, no. GPL talks about passing source code if you distribute a changed version, not original source code, changes, and running commentary. So here Red Hat has historically done much more than was asked for (distributing to all comers, distributing upstream source and individual patches), now they are still doing more than strictly required. Again the ages old discussion: If you distribute your stuff under $LICENSE, you can't then complain if somebody does what said $LICENSE allows.
Posted Mar 6, 2011 2:08 UTC (Sun) by zonker (subscriber, #7867) [Link]
You can complain, you just can't sue.
I compare this to the recent Supreme Court decision about the WBC - the "church" has the right to do what they do under the First Amendment. They should not be jailed for it, nor barred from it. That doesn't mean that the rest of the society/community can't or shouldn't shun them.
I'd much rather see companies kept in compliance with the spirit of the license by people complaining than by trying to write licenses that dictate every community standard.

What has that to do with anything?
RedHat are clearly not distributing the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". They're therefore violating the spirit of the license.
The community ought to work with them to help them amend that mistake. This has nothing to do with the legal system.

RedHat are clearly not distributing the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". By failing to do so, they are violating both the spirit and the letter of the GPL.
Whether or not anyone intends to sue them is irrelevant -- they should fix what many of us see as a serious mistake, lest they loose much of the community's goodwill they have earned over the years.
Posted Mar 6, 2011 14:19 UTC (Sun) by rahulsundaram (subscriber, #21946) [Link]
I have no qualms about people arguing about the "spirit" of the license since that is open to interpretation and one doesn't need to be a copyright expert to do so.

Being Photographed
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010How can I look better when I'm being photographed? People ask.
Because there is no active verb to express "being photographed", we use the passive voice. This conveys that something is being done to us as opposed to us doing something ourselves.
Being photographed should not be a passive action.
We don't say Kate Winslett and Leonardo di Caprio are "being filmed", we say they are filming or acting. They are performing for the camera.
So let's stop "being photographed" and start "performing for the camera". Let's stop being victims of the camera and take control of the images it sees.
The camera can only photograph what we choose to show it. A Look Good on Camera photo-shoot will give you the skills and techniques to present the camera with images of yourself that you want to see in the photographs that it produces.
