Our Neighbors…Astrid Johnson

A sign on the wall of Astrid Johnson's kitchen reads, "Give us this day our daily bread." Johnson takes that a bit more seriously than most. For many years, Johnson's homemade bread, rolls, pies and other baked goods have taken ribbons at local fairs. This year – as Johnson approaches her 94th birthday – she's ready to fire up her oven once again for the Carlton County Fair.
"I wait until two days before the fair and then it's full steam ahead," said Johnson. "I generally make rye bread, whole wheat bread, white bread, caramelized rolls, buns and something the Swedish people call 'Mor mor's [grandmother's] bread.' It's a flat bread, and you make a round loaf and cut it in wedges. The fair has an ethnic division, so I try that every year. It takes a lot of doing," she admitted.
Johnson said she has liked to bake from the time she was a little girl, and she first learned how to bake bread at the age of 10. She has a fistful of ribbons from last year's county fair hanging on the wall of her kitchen to show for it, as well as a picnic hamper full of all of ribbons she's won in the past, including many purple grand champion and blue first-place ribbons from fairs at Proctor, West Duluth, Barnum and Esko.
"We used to have a fair in Esko years ago, a big one," related Johnson, who lived there for many years with her husband and children. "They had animals and everything."
Johnson first started entering baked goods in the fair when her oldest son was in high school.
"He was in the agriculture group, and his teacher, Don Gustafson, encouraged him to take part in the fair," said Johnson. "Don was over at our house one day and had some of my cinnamon rolls – and he decided I should bake for the fair!"
Johnson did that very thing, and she said she's pretty sure she received at least a few blue ribbons for her efforts.
"You need that to encourage you to do it again, because you're sure not in it for the money!" she said with a chuckle. "It's fun and you get to know people. I look forward to it. I just hope I can hang together long enough to do it again this year! It takes me longer every year to do the baking, but at least I still remember what to put in it!" she said, explaining that she seldom relies on recipes.
She especially likes to bake bread and does all kinds – except for wild rice bread.
"I leave that up to Mrs. Olson in Esko," she explained. "She does a beautiful wild rice bread, and I wouldn't compete with her for love nor money!"
Johnson has a cherished covered pan that she uses to raise her bread that she estimates is close to 100 years old.
"I've had it for over 50 years," she said. "I got it at a rummage sale because it was similar to the one my mom used. Twice a week I scald it in the sink. It even has little vents in it for moisture."
Johnson said she bakes "just about anything that goes in the oven," including two blueberry pies for the fair every year. Her niece, who lives just off Old Highway 61 in Carlton, usually picks a couple of quarts of blueberries to bring over to her each year for her pies.
"I don't like the blueberries you buy in the store," said Johnson. "They don't even taste like blueberries."
And the secret to her award-winning pie crust?
"Lard and ice water!" she said. "When you eat out, notice how many people actually eat the crust on their pie," she pointed out. "Most of them just leave it."
Johnson is justifiably proud of the long family legacy that taught her sound values and a strong work ethic.
She grew up as Astrid Munter in the Sandy Lake/Blackhoof Valley area and went to the very two-room country school that's still standing there.
"The teachers lived right there in the building," she related, "which was quite modern for that day."
Her parents were both born in Sweden, where her grandmother ran a little bakery. Her father's family immigrated to America in the late 1890s, settling in the Sandy Lake area of Blackhoof Township in Carlton County. Johnson's mother and father knew each other during their childhood years in Sweden and they reconnected as adults after her mother immigrated to Superior, Wis., in 1896 at the age of 18. They eventually married and homesteaded in the Blackhoof Valley area where her father worked as a carpenter, paper hanger, painter and general "man of all trades." Her mother was the community midwife.
"She was often seen headed for an expectant neighbor's home with the well-known black satchel in one hand and the inevitable kettle of chicken soup in the other," wrote Johnson in her memoirs.
Life was far from simple, however, for the Munter family back in the "good old days," as Astrid put it.
"We pumped water for the cows and for our household use by hand, carrying it from barn to house to fill pails and the reservoir on our black, nickel-trimmed kitchen range," she said. "What wonderful memories of homemade breads and waffles made directly over the fire on the cast-iron waffle iron, 'top-l-grytan,' [a savory meat broth for dunking limpa bread], fragrant soups, homemade beans and 'bruna boner [Swedish brown beans],' nor could we forget the old menu – 'sil-o-potatis [a potato dish].' In the winter we often made our own potato sausage, head cheeses and pressed cheese. Often there was a large kettle of whole milk on the back of the stove – first stage of the homemade cottage cheese we loved."
Astrid was the youngest of six children, and she said they learned to create their own entertainment.
"Dad made our crude skis by hand," she related. "We had ice skates that clamped to our shoes, jump ropes, sling shots, boomerangs, 'jumpers' made from old car springs and willow whistles to keep us occupied."
She said one of her most distasteful chores was herding cows.
"Small farms like ours did not produce much hay so we were compelled to herd our few Guernseys along the roadsides," she explained. "However, we did get a little extra reading done along the way, sometimes forgetfully neglecting the cows! Horatio Alger's 'Strive and Succeed' and Porter's 'Girl of the Limberlost' have long since disintegrated and gone with the four winds."
In the winter, she said she and her five brothers and sisters often found themselves confined indoors because of inclement weather, but the family always had music to keep them occupied.
"Dad played a small button box, or concertina, and also his cherished old violin," she said. "Years have passed and I still hear in my head snatches of old melodies we heard – sad tunes and happy tunes, Swedish folk tunes, waltzes, mazurkas and schottisches."
Johnson recalled that her mother had a beautiful, old table harp she had brought over from Sweden but for some reason, it was put away in the attic and they seldom heard her play. Her mother sang a lot, however, both Swedish and Norwegian airs and occasionally even a lilting song from Lapland.
She said she and her siblings walked a mile to the little Sandy Lake School, and in bad weather their parents took turns bringing them with horses and sleigh.
"We only had one horse but Dad always took his turn, although there would be more tumbling behind in the deep snow than inside our very small conveyance!" said Johnson.
"With the arrival of spring," she continued, "we picked wild arbutus (quite rare and protected now) and Mayflowers. Later, we found luscious wild strawberries and Juneberries. In late summer, blueberry and raspberry picking was a project for the whole family. Many quarts of berries were canned to be enjoyed the following winter."
Johnson graduated from Barnum High School in 1936, and not long afterward she met her future husband, Arnold Johnson, when both were out dancing one night with friends.
"We were two jitterbugs!" she said with a laugh. "We were of the old school."
They dated – and danced – for the next two years.
"We followed Lorren Lindevig, who was a family friend," said Johnson.
Astrid and Arnold were married and Arnold worked as a farmer and herdsman on the H.C. Hanson dairy farm near Barnum, working with Guernsey cows.
"Our first four children were born when we were living on the farm," said Johnson. "I used to call them the Guernsey bunch!"
After seven years, her husband found work on a farm in Iowa for a couple of years before they eventually moved to Esko, where he went to work for Arrowhead Creamery and Franklin Creamery in Duluth.
Astrid often baked as sort of a sideline.
"I used to put an ad in the paper that said, 'Astrid's baking again,'" she said, "and by 11 a.m. the next morning, everything was gone!"
A lot of time people from her church would also ask her to bake for them because they didn't have time to do it themselves.
In all, the Johnsons raised eight children and continued to live on the farm in Esko up until Arnold's death 15 years ago. Astrid moved to an apartment in Cloquet the day after her husband passed away, which the two of them had already been planning because of Arnold's failing health.
Today, she spends time reading and also enjoys writing her memoirs as well as humorous articles and poetry, and she gets up around 6 a.m. every day.
"That's the best part of the day," she attested, adding that she never goes to bed at night until after 11 p.m. and she never naps. Though she no longer drives, she has good friends who give her rides to church and the grocery store and help her take her entries to the fair.
She still subscribes to the practice of hanging her clothes outside on the line to dry as often as she can.
"The neighbor ladies used to have a $5 bet over what day and month I would have my first clothes hung out on the line!" she said. "And one year, there was a picture of me in the paper. I was about 90, and I was compelled to do a snow angel out in the yard when [neighbor] Pete Mills took a picture of me. Someone's gotta have fun!"
She does the crossword puzzle and the Sudoku puzzle in the newspaper every day and bakes several times a week.
"I heard that if you have a hobby, you last longer," she said . "It makes the wheels go 'round!"
Realizing that in just six years, she'll be 100 years old, Johnson said she feels blessed to have already lived this long and always tries to think positively.
"When you live alone, you can eat as many cinnamon rolls as you want!" she said.
And just what's left to do that she hasn't already done in life?
"I'll find something!" she said with a sparkle in her eye.

The City Ski Meet Sunday featured jumpers and Nordic skiers on a perfect day in Cloquet's beautiful Pine Valley.By: Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
There was no water skiing at this year's City Ski Meet in Cloquet, unlike the balmy event last March.
Still, the competition was hot between youth ski jumpers and cross country skiers of all ages at Cloquet's beautiful Pine Valley Sunday afternoon.
Competitors and audience members came from Carlton County, Duluth and Coleraine. Former champions — Scott and Mike Sobczak and Rick Bergquist — from Cloquet's days as a dominant force in both sports helped judge the competition.
The longest jump of the day was 32 meters, completed by 12-year-old Aidan Ripp off the 40-meter jump.

While Californians have been hearing for years about runaway tuition at the state's public universities, the state - and now the federal government - is demanding better results from a different sector of the higher education world: for-profit colleges.
Squeezing the for-profit sector would be "all to the good," said UC Berkeley education Professor Emeritus Norton Grubb. "They enroll low-income students, they charge them high tuition, they get them all on student aid and then the students drop out, leaving them with no increased earnings potential and a lot of student debt."
Take the $25,700-per-year Everest College in Hayward, where one in three former students did not earn enough to repay their student loans. Or the 1,900-student University of Phoenix in San Jose, which brought in $17 million in federal student aid in 2010-11; it reported a graduation rate of just 19 percent and a student loan default rate of 26 percent.
New federal regulations proposed for vocational programs and President Barack Obama's initiative to tie student aid dollars - both grants and loans - to schools' affordability and performance could also affect institutions like the $24,000-per-year Ex'pression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville, whose students relied on $9.7 million in federal education aid in 2010-11.
To understand where federal student aid money goes and how well the investment is paying off for students and taxpayers, this newspaper analyzed U.S. Department of Education data for more than 100 Bay Area schools. The analysis of federal financial-aid data from 2010 to 2011 found:
Nearly 30 percent of the $1.3 billion in federal Pell grants and student loans that flowed to Bay Area colleges went to for-profit trade schools.
Former students at for-profit schools accounted for nearly half of all federal loan defaults here, in the most recent count, though they make up just about 10 percent of the area's college students. Loan defaults, which have serious credit score consequences, tend to occur when someone earns too little to pay off college debt.
Twelve for-profit schools were among the area's 25 most expensive colleges, as measured by the average annual cost after subtracting tuition grants, and they had that group's highest rates of student loan defaults.
Last year California cut from its tuition aid program more than 130 private colleges with low graduation rates and too many student loan defaults. Some wonder if the federal government will follow the state's lead to hold colleges responsible for their performance.
Today, only 50 for-profit schools in California remain eligible for state-subsidized tuition; 115 do not.
"I think I'd be crazy not to be worried," said Daniel Levinson, CEO of Ex'pression College, which lost its state aid eligibility because of its 17.9 percent loan default rate.
For-profit colleges say they open doors for low-income students who want to become medical assistants, sound technicians, mechanics and cooks - education unavailable to them elsewhere. And federal data shows a handful of Bay Area trade schools do appear to be serving their students well; Alameda Beauty College and MTI Business College Inc. in Stockton, for example, have graduation rates above 75 percent and single-digit default rates.
But some former students say their schools overpromised the kinds of jobs they would land after earning a degree. More than four years after she graduated from Heald College in Hayward, paying $65,000 for an associate degree in business administration, Rachel Tenorio says she has yet to find a job in the field.
"I regret it, definitely," the Hayward resident said. "I tell people I know that it's not worth it. You're better off going to a community college."
Obama last month singled out some of the sector's bad actors during a town-hall meeting.
The students, he said, "Get out of these for-profit schools loaded down with enormous debt. They can't find a job. They default. The taxpayer ends up holding the bag. Their credit is ruined, and the for-profit institution is making out like a bandit."
Obama's concern that current federal aid policies prop up problem schools reflected a more sweeping higher education proposal that will require congressional approval. But on Aug. 30, the U.S. Department of Education proposed cutting off aid to vocational programs whose graduates spend too much of their paychecks on student loans.
If its standards were imposed today as written, the department predicts 974 programs at colleges nationwide, about 10 percent, would fail. If they failed a second year, they would lose funding.
The federal government awarded about $50 billion in tuition grants, including aid for military veterans, in 2011-12 - the largest source of grant aid and nearly five times what states contributed. In all, the office of Federal Student Aid issues more than $150 billion annually - a figure that includes grants, loans and other aid - to 15 million students.
Many college students receive more than $10,000 annually in state and federal aid.
Industry supporters say their colleges are being unfairly targeted and note that their students are less likely than other college graduates to have a financial safety net.

Isla Montuosa is only 37 miles from the lodge here on Isla Paridas but it seems like a 150 mile run when you know that there are 200 pound plus Yellowfin Tunas swimming around waiting to inhale your baits. And the bite has only gotten better over the past couple of weeks as I have been out fishing six days with the boys from Alabama.....Kim and John Kornegay, their friends Chase and Carlos Gil, and my friends Douglass Rollings hunting them here in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama.
BIG Yellowfin Tunas are starting to show up in numbers and hang out at the "high spots" at Hannibal Bank and Isla Montuosa. Large concentrations of squid and spawning bait fish are keeping them around as well as attracting more Dorado and Wahoo. We ran into Tuna boils daily with the biggest one on the first day just a couple miles south of Isla Ladrones when I got this video......
After a couple of days of non-stop 50# Tunas we decided to concentrate on trying to get John hooked up with a Black Marlin. We switched up our spread to only live Bonitos and concentrated on the mesa at Isla Montuosa and the high spots on Hannibal Bank. The first day, out at Isla Montuosa, we jumped a 400#ish Black amidst another Tuna boil but he quickly threw the hook. After that it was two more days of Bonito after Bonito getting inhaled by BIG Yellowfin Tunas! Every time we'd hookup and didn't see a Marlin breach the surface we'd all yell out "God Dang Pesky Tunas!!!" The biggest fish we boated was tag-teamed by Kim and John and went 220#s. We lost another monster at the leader when it shook the hook after a 3 hour battle!
The fishing only seems to be getting better every year since the regulations against the purse seiners and larger long liners were put into effect a few years ago. Although the amount of small commercial pangas out at Hannibal Bank is pretty concerning. I counted fourteen commercial boats hand-lining Tunas the two days we were there. They were lining up over and over again to drift over the "high spot" and were catching quite a few. Even worse the ones that were anchored up make it impossible to fish near. We were lucky on the fish we hooked up near the commercial guys that we didn't get tangled in their gear.
We had a hell of a time and I'm glad that the fishing and weather were so great for these guys again. Enjoy the pics...........

great pics!! looks like you got the best of them tunas...
are the tunas still around? thanks for the report..
Good stuff Shane! You can't beat a frenzied yellowfin bite. Panama is doing the right thing with the regulations against the purse seiners and larger long liners. This will pay dividends long into the future. I would rather have a dozen small commercial pangas hand-lining tunas than the big boats any day. I wish Costa Rica would initiate similar regulations and enforce them. Keep it up!

Thanks Seth! Yeah the fishing has only gotten better over the past few years since the regulations against the large long liners and purse seiners took place. Although the problem now is that these commercial pangas are concentrating in numbers especially out at Hannibal Bank. We counted 30 just two weeks ago all within about a half mile area out on Hannibal Bank! Not good. These guys need to make a living as well but definite overkill with that many guys hammering the same spot. A group of concerned sportfishermen and lodge owners are in the process of forming a foundation to initiate regulations and fund enforcement for commercial fishermen and sportfishermen alike here in the Gulf of Chiriqui. If the fishery here is going to last something needs to be done. If you know of anyone interested in participating or that could help us out in some way with our cause please let me know. My email is email@example.com.

Natural Gas Exports Will Only Help the 1%
In response to yesterday's report touting the "aggregate" economic benefits of liquefied natural gas exports – commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy and conducted by NERA Economic Consulting – Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter and Clean Ocean Action Executive Director Cindy Zipf released the following statement…
Some energy analysts are predicting that natural gas will be the fuel of the future if advances in drilling technology allow drillers to tap into domestic shale rock formations on a large scale. But because of the impacts that the technology can have on water, natural gas could become our next energy disaster.
Fracking, Climate Change and the Water Crisis
As climate change and the global water crisis are triggering more alarms, Food & Water Watch examines what role fracking increasingly plays in advancing both of these alarming issues.
Federal Budget
Federal funding for water infrastructure has been targeted by the House, whose proposal cuts the Environmental Protection Agency's State Revolving Funds for clean water (sewerage) and drinking water.
Bottled Water
Not only is bottled water not safer than tap water and way more expensive, it also creates mountains of garbage. Bottled water companies also mislead communities into giving away their public water in exchange for dangerous jobs. And with declining bottled water sales in the US, people in developing countries are being targeted to make up for lost revenue.
Water Privatization
Communities that have experimented with privatization have found that it does not solve their water woes. In fact, many private companies are providing worse service at a higher cost than most public utilities.
Renew America's Water
Help protect access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, get on board with Food & Water Watch Renew America's Water campaign.
Take Back the Tap
Residents, students, activists, and communities across the country want to kick the bottled water habit and protect their access to clean, safe, affordable water. Get inspiration from college campuses and find out what you can do to Take Back the Tap.
There may be dangerous chemicals in your everyday household products that persist in the environment, mix with other chemicals to form more toxic chemicals, contribute to the growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and causes a range of human health problems.
Water Hold the Arsenic
An analysis of tap water found higher levels of arsenic in areas where chicken litter is spread on fields than where it is not. Get eight ways your health is impacted by arsenic in chicken feed and what Food & Water Watch is doing about it with our Hold the Arsenic campaign.
Radiation Impacts
The full impact of the Japanese nuclear crisis remains to be seen, but the health risks posed by radioactive contamination are well documented. A major avenue for exposure is through food and water.
As cities face increasing water management problems, some companies and elected officials are pushing an expensive, energy-intensive technology called ocean water desalination. Desalination separates salt from seawater. It might sound like a good idea, but this technology's hazards far outweigh its potential benefits.
Water Conservation
Make the most of the water you use in your home. Consider taking shorter showers. Invest in a low–flow toilet or put a plastic bottle filled with water in your toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush. Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
World Water
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.7 billion people still lack access to clean water. 2.3 billion people suffer from water-borne diseases each year. While the demand for water is on the rise, the supply is shrinking. Water-intensive agriculture, population growth, industrial pollution, breakneck development and other ecological threats are depleting freshwater supplies.
In communities around the country, citizens are seeing the effects of a decline in one of our most crucial but least understood natural resources: groundwater.
Right to Water
When water becomes an expensive commodity, social cohesion erodes in neighborhoods and communities. The result is that basic rights become privileges.
Borrow a film from Food & Water Watch's water film library to learn more about water issues and even host an event to help spread the knowledge to others.

Joan Smalls (IMG, NY):
This photo humors me of the first shot I took of Joan back when she was still with Elite Models in early 2008. She was walking down Broadway between Prince and Spring streets. When I asked for her photo she told me I should talk to her booker. Naturally, I snagged a candid shot of her hailing a cab regardless, which actually turned out pretty good. How times have changed since then!

Whether you have an iPhone or Android, the American Red Cross wants to make it easy for you to be prepared during hurricanes.
The nonprofit announced that its new "Hurricane App" is available for free download in both the iPhone App Store and the Google Play Store for Androids — simply by searching American Red Cross. You can also get the app by dialing **redcross from your mobile phone to generate a text message with a download link.
"The American Red Cross Hurricane mobile app is great for people in our region to download, especially following last year's near direct hit from Hurricane Irene," said Sara Smith, Communications Specialist for the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania. "While our region may not always be in the direct path, the threat still exists that we will have to deal with these storms in the future.
The app features important safety information, real-time hurricane tracking and tools to let loved ones and friends know that you're safe and well.
"Many people in our region have homes at the shore and the app allows you to track multiple locations and receive weather alerts from NOAA for all locations they set up to track," Smith said.
Hurricane Season's Peak
According to the National Weather Service, the Atlantic hurricane season peaks in August and extends through September. It was the end of August last year when .
On May 24, the NWS' Climate Prediction Center released its outlook for the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season. That reads, in part:
Given the current and expected conditions, combined with model forecasts and possible competing factors, we estimate a 70% probability for each of the following ranges of activity during 2012:
- 9-15 Named Storms,
- 4-8 Hurricanes
- 1-3 Major Hurricanes
- An Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) range of 65%-140% of the median.
The outlook is scheduled to be updated early this month, the center states.

News from the Jira front
If you have used Jira during the past year or so to get help from us, then you know that I'm the person who is mostly taking care of these requests. My name is Mirje and I'm the Skype Developer Support Technician. All bugs and feature requests related to Public API and Extras are going through me.
I have decided to start giving updates regarding recent or most urgent problems found in these areas. Also recently solved cases might be interesting and useful to know, so please keep on reading if you're interested.
]]>First, lets cover the **known problems**:
**Public API** (SPA Jira project):
+ [SPA-324](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-324) – Not possible to set audio device if its name ends with spaces. Currently no solution but it's being worked on.
+ [SPA-339](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-339) – Audio API outputs datastream which gets out of sync over time. Not fixed yet, work is ongoing.
+ [SPA-276](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-276) – Forwarded By not available for SkypeIn calls. The fix has been delayed for a long time, but the hope is to get it live with some of the 3.5 hotfixes.
+ [SPA-228](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-228) – Switching to silent mode takes very long. This problem has been worked on and it will be fixed in some 3.5 hotfixes.
+ [SPA-315](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-315) – SkypeIn calls are shown as INCOMING P2P, not INCOMING PSTN like it used to be. This is the new design now and it won't change back. Check Jira for workaround.
**Extras** (PIF Jira project):
+ [PIF-601](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-601) – Tools -> Do More often does not display the Extras. It's a long standing bug, still no solution.
+ [PIF-714](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-714) – 100% CPU usage for Skypepm.exe. It's fixed but not live yet, so still listing as a bug.
+ [PIF-671](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-671) – "Checking for available licenses" message when attempting to launch Extras. No solution yet. If somebody can reproduce, please provide us drm info file. More info from the Jira case.
+ [PIF-691](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-691) – Time based licenses not expiring correctly. This has been fixed according to Easybits, but no testing has been done yet, so I'm still listing this one as a bug.
**Recently fixed** issues:
**Public API** (SPA Jira project):
+ [SPA-318](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-318) – It wasn't possible to reset audio device back to Windows default audio device with commands SET AUDIO OUT and SET AUDIO IN by SKYPE API with versions 22.214.171.124 and 22.214.171.124. These commands got the following response: "ERROR 50 cannot set device". The problem has been fixed in Skype 184.108.40.206 and later plus also 3.2 later versions.
+ [SPA-198](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-198) – Changes in the Silent Mode confirmation dialog, now there's an option to say that the next time the same application wants to use Silent Mode the permission will be granted automatically. This is from Skype version 184.108.40.206 and up.
+ [SPA-313](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-313) – App2App messaging has been improved when using Skype4Com. Fixed in recently released version Skype4Com 1.0.28.
+ [SPA-244](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-244) – Missing transfer status events with Skype4Com. This has also been fixed in version Skype4Com 1.0.28.
**Extras** (PIF Jira project):
+ [PIF-656](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-656) – It's possible to localize the Friendly Name and Description of your Extra so that people with different UI languages can still understand what this Extra is about before even installing it.
Additionally, if you are having some questions of your own and want to get help, please read [this Forum post](http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=70328) for instructions and hints.

Hi Mirje,
I wanted to report an issue about a Skype blog. Somehow I got to https://developer.skype.com/jira/login.jsp Then I wanted to sign-on to it. However, it sent me to jira.atlassian.com and though I registered there I can't report anything at Skype Jira.
The Skype Jira page https://developer.skype.com/jira/login.jsp also links to https://developer.skype.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa which says I could contact some real people, but I don't see a way to contact them.
The actual problem that I wanted to report: when I access https://developer.skype.com/MacSkype in Firefox 18.104.22.168, it shows an RSS/Atom icon. But when I click at it, it goes wrong:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.−

Hey Peter,
If you haven't used our Jira before then you should first register here – https://developer.skype.com/jira/secure/Signup!default.jspa
The registration is Skype username and password based and only a one time procedure. Next times you can just use your usual Skype login details to log in to Jira also.If you can, please add this problem to Jira although I will try to take a look at this problem anyways.

After the rain, there is usually a rainbow…
Its a typical rainy FL afternoon.
Greg and I are getting ready to head out to Orlando. Tonight we play for friends,among friends. Ed, who is a very special fan of ours, is not only that but a great friend. He's invited us into his home, in his back yard, to partake in a pool party and later play some tunes for him and his company. It will be nice to have a low key gig. Those are great for exploring old songs and experimenting with new ones. Thats where inspiration is usually born for me. Chances are if you're not paying attention, Im creating a new song. If you are paying attention, Im being good haha :]
the show at Fly Bar was great last night. Again, experimentation at its greatest. We played without our bass player ( miss you Stevem) so we had two guitars and drums, but it was fun and jazzy. Good company and good atmosphere. I love feeling free at shows. Its unfortunately in my nature to do the exact opposite of what is expected of me. I think my attitude has always been a struggle between rebellion and conformity.

A sweetheart pickup for a legendary guitar.
The Seymour Duncan Jerry Donahue pickup delivers traditional, sweet and even tone that just drips with all the sparkle and twang you'd expect out of a truly righteous Tele guitar.
When Jerry Donahue needed a touring guitar with the exact same sound as his prized '52, he turned to Seymour Duncan, who accurately duplicated the warm, punchy tone of their bridge pickup. Seymour used Alnico II rod magnets and a special wind for increased sustain. Symmetrically staggered pole pieces mirror the fingerboard radius and assure that the Jerry Donahue pickup gives you exceptionally balanced string-to-string response.
Get this p'up in your T-caster for more tone. Order now and twang like a legend.

The use of grammar is more complex than it appears. This unit looks at the way grammar can be used as a tool for adapting our communications (both written and spoken) in ways which present us and our message in different lights.
By the end of this unit, you should have developed a knowledge and understanding of:
- the differences between spoken and written English;
- the factors that influence use of grammar and vocabulary in speech and writing;
- the different ways in which grammar has been described.
- Duration 15 hours

English grammar in context
Some people think that the difference between speech and writing is that people use longer words in writing. In some writing this is true, but there are also significant differences, many of which are grammatical. In this unit you will develop knowledge and understanding of the differences between spoken and written English, factors that influence our use of grammar and vocabulary in speech and writing, and different ways in which grammar has been described.
This unit is an adapted extract from the course English grammar in context (E303) [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] . If you are looking to improve your English language skills our English for learning study site offers a range of activities to help you assess and develop your language skills.

Three decades after the first Apollo landing on the moon, the debate between proponents of manned and unmanned space missions has not changed a great deal. But many space scientists who work with robotic satellites, including me, have gradually moved from opposing human spaceflight to a more moderate position. In special situations, we now realize, sending people into space is not just an expensive stunt but can be more cost-effective than sending robots. Mars exploration is one of those cases.
The basic advantage of astronauts is that they can explore Mars in real time, free of communications delays and capable of following up interesting results with new experiments. Robots, even after decades of research to make them completely autonomous, cannot manage without people in the loop. But the question arises: Where should the astronauts be? The obvious answer--on the surface of Mars--is not necessarily the most efficient. At the first "Case for Mars" conference in 1981, one of the more provocative conclusions was that the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, could serve as comparatively inexpensive beachheads.

Presbyterian Buddy Kemp Cancer Support Center will host a program entitled Women, Sexuality and Cancer on Mon., Sept. 24, at 7 p.m.
Women, Sexuality and Cancer is a program designed for women diagnosed with cancer and focuses on issues related to body image and emotional and physical adaptations to encourage intimacy with their partner. Certified sex therapist Maria Boccia, PhD, and ob-gyn Alyse Kelly-Jones, MD, both from the Center for Sexual Health & Education will lead discussion for this all-female audience.
There are many aspects of coping with cancer that frequently are discussed, but intimacy is one that does not get much attention. However, the changes are very real. Life-saving treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can cause physical changes in a woman's body that make intimacy seem unappealing or painful. Such changes can be embarrassing for a woman and can cause emotional strain on her relationship. All too often women suffer in silence because they don't know where to turn.
"Women don't realize that there is help for physical problems related to sexual intercourse after cancer," said Boccia. "There are many simple and effective treatments that yield significant results for the muscle and tissue. The success rate in those receiving treatment is phenomenal."
Women, Sexuality and Cancer will be held Mon., Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.. Dinner will be served at this free, women's-only event held at Presbyterian Buddy Kemp Cancer Support Center, 242 Colonial Ave., Charlotte, N.C., 28204. To register, call 704-384-5223 or visit www.presbyterian.org/cancercalendar.
Presbyterian Buddy Kemp Cancer Support Center offers a wide range of support for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer including specialized support groups, lending boutique, counseling and financial resource guidance. For more information and a list of special classes and events, visit www.presbyterian.org/buddykemp.

Featured Artist: Ben Howard
Ben Howard is an artist who has exceeded all of his expectations within a whirlwind twenty-four months. Growing up in Devon, a county in the South West of England, Ben surrounded himself with the richly textured music in his parents' record collection. "Van Morrison, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel," he says. "That's what we'd listen to in the house and in the car wherever we were going." It was these records that encouraged him to pick up a guitar, re-stringing his mum's Spanish nylon acoustic as a young lad.

St. Sen Leach Will Run For 13th Congressional Seat
State Senator Daylin Leach, who's district includes part of Montgomery County has announced he's running for the 13th Congressional seat. The district is split between Eastern Montgomery County and Philadelphia. The Democrat has launched his campaign before official word that fellow Democrat and incumbent, Allyson Schwartz is going to leave her seat to run for Governor. "Allyson Schwartz is a serious person. I don't think she talks about running for office as serious as Governor frivolously. I'm acting as if she does and what she means and so I have a lot of work to do and I have to get started on doing it." Leach called himself the liberal lion of Pennsylvania when launching his campaign Tuesday.

She is gorgeous. And because she's doing what she wants and she's pleasing her REAL fans and finding out who her real fans are, and not letting her haters get to her, she's showing how strong and independent she is. People who wish she would be Hannah Montana are idiots, and people who don't like who she is now or how she's acting can TURN their heads away.
