It is a great resource and I would advise it since our laws can get tricky and aren't the most user friendly!

This is interesting - I've just dug one of our old XP computers out, and WOL doesn't work on that now either, which points the finger back towards S2008 rather than Win7 as being the culprit.
What are you using to send the WOL? wolcmd used to work iirc in 2008R2.
Here's a good guide which is correct in its explanations.
Depicus Wake on Lan Monitor/Sniffer Or just install a packet capturing utility of your choice and sift through the results. If it isn't working with machines that worked before though I would be questioning whether or not it's even making it through.
Did the IP of the server change that you're using to send WOL out from, or were there any changes in the switching configuration? For WOL to jump subnets it requires configuration on the switches.
The server's firewall & Simple TCP settings could affect it though. I'll try the packet sniffer to see if these are actually going anywhere...
I've just tried the WOL command from a client PC, and it worked fine, so it is something on the server blocking it from going out.
Re your Stone PC's Nick, check to see if there is an update for the NIC drivers.
When we put in some Lenovo's earlier in the year, we found that the WOL wasn't working once Windows 7 was installed via WDS (was fine straight out the box)
Found newer drivers for our Marvell Net yk62x86 and it started working correctly again.
I have tried the latest drivers on both the Intel and Realtek sites (they have different "latest" versions), but neither work. As I said just now (you might not have seen it before posting), it looks like the server is blocking the signal - even though it reports 'success' in the CMD window - as the command runs just fine from a client.
The batch files run just fine off our Member Server. Wish I'd thought to try that in September!
Spoke too soon - the batch files run fine if executed by double-clicking on them, but not when set as scheduled tasks. Any ideas?
Sorted now. I've had this issue with scheduled tasks before, with it being very fussy about how it is set up in terms of whether it runs only when logged in, with highest credentials, etc. so I went through each possible permutation until I found one which worked!

WUMPA - my DMC Dauntless 1150GS Adventure rig
View Single Post
Dog Chauffeur
Joined: Oct 2007
Location: Tacoma, WA-ish
Oddometer: 3,556
Added two more mods over the weekend. Now for you novice farklers--don't try this at home--these mods are definitely high tech and should be attempted only by advanced professionals!!!
First, I made a plywood floor for the tub to be used when DOG is my co-pilot. This required a saw, a measuring tape, a pencil, a drill, some glue and 4 screws. Optional equipment--a sander.
You can also see in this pic the passenger grab bar that I installed. Just something for the monkee to hang onto.
The round rugs I'm using there are 100% wool, pretty thick and cushy, and only cost $10 each at IKEA. I might leave them round, or I might one of these days cut them to size and staple them down. Haven't decided yet.
A platform like this let's DOG sit or stand about 3" lower down than on the seat cushion, and also let's him curl up and lie down when he wants to. When camping, I can put the tonneau cover on, leave the "door" unsnapped, and he can use the tub as his crate.
The 2nd farkle is a new garage door opener. This one required some Velcro and a wire tie. And, of course, a garage door clicker.
This pic also shows the 2-way momentary switch for the electric tilt mounted inside the handguard. I used a steel bracket I found in my garage and some 3M double-sided foam tape. The switch and the waterproof cover I got on eBay. The location is very handy for the index finger. I don't constantly change the tilt, but like for instance this weekend I did a little 150-mile round trip to Woodinville to buy some wine, and I probably adjusted the tilt 6 or 7 times. The amount of tilt I like on the superslab (I-5) is definitely not what I want on something like the high-crowned Carnation Farm Road.
You can also see in this pic a small rocker switch installed above the light switch on the left grip. That's the switch that turns the off-road LED's on and off.

Hungary's three-year government bond yields fell for a second day as Bank of America Corp. said the central bank may cut the European Union's highest benchmark rate by two percentage points by 2013.
The gains in the benchmark notes maturing in 2015 lowered yields two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 7.502 percent. The forint was little changed at 284.94 per euro by 11:53 a.m. in Budapest.
The Magyar Nemzeti Bank may reduce its 7 percent benchmark rate by 50 basis points this year and another 150 basis points in 2013 after lowering its economic growth projections, Mai Doan, a London-based economist at the bank, wrote in a research report today.

Hoye-Crest is a summit along Backbone Mountain just inside of Garrett County, Maryland. It is the highest natural point in Maryland at an elevation of 3,360 feet (1,020 m).[3]
The location, named for Captain Charles Hoye, founder of the Garrett County Historical Society, has a marker and offers a view of the North Branch Potomac River valley to the east. The location is accessible via a path leading from U.S. Route 219 to the west.
Accessing Hoye-Crest[edit]
There is no direct road access to Hoye-Crest. The best route is a hike in from a point along U.S. Route 219 just south of Silver Lake, West Virginia at 39°14′43″N 79°29′30″W / 39.24528°N 79.49167°W. From here, one ascends Backbone Mountain along an old road and hiking trail on Monongahela National Forest property to the West Virginia-Maryland state line. The trail then heads north along the state line to the high point. Hoye-Crest sits on private property, though access is permitted.

Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
How long should I wait after having a collapsed lung to schedule Breast Augmentation (without a lift)?
I was recently hospitalized with a collapsed lung due to a needle puncture from a misplaced cortisone injection. I'm wondering what the general time frame would be to wait to safely have breast implant surgery. I had been planning augmentation for a while but then this happened and I'm afraid I will have to postpone it for a long time. Your advice please.
Normally, a period of 6 to 8 weeks after such an event would be required before elective surgery should be considered. Consider consulting with your primary care physician regarding Cardio-Pulmonary clearance for your desired surgical procedure.
Gary R. Culbertson, MD
How long you wait after a collapsed lung before having a breast augmentation depends mainly on the anesthesia to be used. If you plan local anesthesia, there will be less pressure on the lung than with general anesthesia. The latter will, therefore, require a longer healing time before being safe. Either way there will be increased pressures within the lung to keep the lung airways open, so you will require a time for the lung to heal enough to resist this pressure and not deflate again. Consult the Thoracic Surgeon or Pulmonologist who is caring for you regarding their recommendations.
R.T. Buchanan, MD
Sorry you had to experience this. The lung injury will most likely be adequately healed by 6- 8 weeks but this is a better question for your pulmonologist. Your surgeon should be able to obtain a clearance for surgery from your medical doctor to decide the best period of time to wait for you.
R.W. Kessler, MD
I would definitely wait 6-8 weeks and be sure the collapse has resolved by x-ray. Be sure to tell your plastic surgeon about the collapse and get a pulmonary physician or thoracic surgeon to evaluate your X-ray before proceeding.
R.A. Faires, MD

And oh boy did I need an infusion of strength today. I was tired and sore, and not feeling well. I was also bugged because the challenge I'm in is for cardio 5xweek not 4. I played with the idea and all the excuses I could come up with and they sounded very justifiable to not get on the treadmill. In the end though I knew I wouldn't be happy with me if I didn't. So I prayed hard, and I turned my mp3 music to the loudest fastest praise music I have...and got into it. The Joy of the Lord will be your strength really works in every circumstance. Next thing I know I hadn't just got in the required 35 minutes, it was 75 minutes later, 4.5 miles later, and I felt really good, sweaty but still good.
I had eaten a late breakfast so I didn't have lunch and still had a lot of calories left, so Glenn and I and Tristan my 13 year old son decided since the others were out we should go out to. We went to Pizza delight and I had the Brocolli chicken with Whole wheat penne and stole a couple of Tristan's garlic fingers. I was pleased to still be in my calorie range and it was delicious.
We then were off to see the Bucket List at the theater, but it was all sold out, the theater was packed out for almost every movie.
So we decided to go bowling I haven't bowled in 20 years, the last time I bowled I was young and not eating right and threw a ball and promptly tore my hamstring muscle, because I had been starving myself and my muscles were depleted.
Anyway I didn't do too bad my first string was a 77 I thought that quite respectable. We all had fun, but before the first string was over that same hamstring muscle started hurting like mad. I don't know what it is about bowling but that muscle does not like it at all. So I bowled a string and a half and called it quits. It was fun though to enter cardio a second time today after thinking I wouldn't enter at all. According to the calculator when I said I bowled for 1/2 hour taking into account Glenn and Tristan's turns, It earned me another 150 cals burned...yippee and that was fun calories burned. I think I'm going to keep going and just go at it easy and hopefully that hamstring will suck it up and learn to like it.
So all in all I had a really great day, even if Glenn did beat me both time, but were talkin a smidgen....just a smidgen more.
big hugs to you all, we're gonna do this and celebrate this wonderful life. We are all truly blessed.
I'm wearing a big smile right now.
When I returned to spark and got serious a few weeks ago. I joined a challenge. It was to do 35 min. cardio 5xweek for the month of january. I'm so glad I did. It compels me to do it. There is something about not having done cardio 5xweek, and having to say I didn't that really gets me going. It doesn't matter that some days I have 50 min, or 65 minutes, it has to be 5xweek. So today I really found out the value of having joined a public challenge. I was up at 5am, I had about 3 hours sleep, and that was spent dreaming I was late for work...argh don't you hate it when that happens : ). I went to work and my co-worker was late arriving at the end of my shift so instead of 8.5 hours I worked 9.5 hours. I came home had a nap and woke up feeling like I just wanna relax, but my cardio wasn't done. I really didn't want to do it, I mean I really, really didn't, but the idea of failing the challenge this week was finally tooo much for me. I got up and I did it. Whooo HOOOO and I feel great about it. All in all I feel I had some great achievments today. Coworkers birthday and you have to have cake or its like they would be insulted, so I had 2 small bites, son offered me chocolate, knowing I'm a complete chocoholic, and I took one tiny square...he looked at me like I was a pod person. Who are you and what have you done with my real mother. : ) Plus I'm sitting here with in my calorie range once I eat a little something eles, and I met the challenge for another day. Awesome. I hope everyone eles is celebrating all their achievements today, you wonderful bunch of losers. : )
Okay...to all you runners out there your gonna laugh and think whats all the fuss about, but for me this was huge. I want to eventually run a 5 k marathon. Despite that fact that at 200 pounds and terribly out of shape, it seems like dreaming the impossible dream. I'm not even sure really why its so important to me, I never even thought of doing something like that before. However it popped in my head several months ago and hasn't budged. I've been quit smoking for almost 2 months now. I went from being a smoking coach potatoe to getting on my treadmill the beginning of January. One of the programs on the treadmill has you running at 4mph for 2 minutes then you walk for 3 minutes at 3mph. Those 2 minutes running nearly killed me.
Today though I decided to use the manual setting on the treadmill. I pushed myself really hard, and I was so happy...because I ran 4 minutes straight at 6mph, I walked for about 5 mintues and then did it again, several times.
Okay how far in distance will I get in a marathon in 4 minute intervals but Hey...its a start, and if I can do that in a couple weeks, what might I be able to do by summer.
So to me this was just awesome..and I'm up on the fence post just a crowing about it. lol
Altogether I spent 65 minutes on the treadmill. My day is crazy tomorrow and I might not get it in and I've already missed 2 cardio days so I thought I better do a good one today. I also spent 40 minutes doing strength training and crunches...Oh owwww...my stomach...I'm sore there. lol
I went slightly over my cal. count yesterday, eating all my healthy stuff, but over just the same. Today I got back on the treadmill and did 50 minutes. I know your only supposed to weigh yourself once a week but I couldn't resist and guess what I lost again. I'm down 6 since I started. Now I'm hoping one of those little I lost 5 pound thingys will show up by my name. lol
Have a super day all. I'm off to work, the big boss is coming in this week...so need to make sure everything is ship shape.
I'm going to have to figure out how to handle day shifts at the hotel. I'm not a morning person and normally I work the three -11 shift. However I have to work at least one and sometimes 2 day shifts. My day starts at 5 am, and by 6:30 I'm on the job. Bleary eyed and wishing to be back in my bed, in my pjs at least for another few hours. Lets face it...Mornings really are for the birds. When I work day shift it wipes out my whole day. I get home around 4pm and I'm exhausted. My husband is home full time now as he has been injured at work, so he takes care of everything at home. I come home, and shortly after I fall on my head and fall asleep. I then feel lousy the rest of the evening. No energy at all. I can't stand day shifts.
I knew today would be hard, so I took my bathing suit with me, and thought I know I won't come home and get on the treadmill, so I'll just have a swim before I come home and it will be over, then I can fall on my head. As it turned out though...we had a storm, and I had to come right home.
Sooooooooooooooooooo here I am. I fell asleep, I ate my supper, I don't have any energy, and I think I'm getting a cold, and there is no way I can fool myself into thinking I'm getting on that treadmill tonight.
I have to figure out how to work in my exercise around these shifts they are part of my life, and I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.
One good thing is food wise I ate very healthy. No eating fatty food in the dining room at work...my lunch was healthy and so appealing my co-workers all wanted what I was having. lol
Tomorrow is a 3-11...number one priority is to get at least an hour cardio in.
hope you all had a great day.

Isn't ordering online meant to be a lot easier?
By Uri Gurevitz Ever gone to a service provider's website, found the device you want and the price plan that suits you, then clicked on the "Order Now" button, just to get a message saying "To order now, call us at 1800XXXXXXX or leave your phone number and we will call you?" I have. And have you ever tried to order bundled packages online? The selection is pretty limited. In contrast, I've discovered that contacting the call center usually opens up a whole new world of options and bundles that aren't being offered online.

Predicting the weather on Titan?
False-colour Images of Titan (obtained by the Cassini-Huygens Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer)
Credits: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
Using recent Cassini, Huygens and Earth-based observations, scientists have been able to create a computer model which explains the formation of several types of ethane and methane clouds on Titan.
Clouds have been observed recently on Titan, Saturns largest moon, through the thick haze, using near-infrared spectroscopy and images of the south pole and temperate regions near 40° South. Recent observations from Earth-based telescopes and the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft are now providing an insight into cloud climatology.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Paulu Leaking ceiling at 2 A.M. & unexplained charge! We stayed at the Sheraton on Queens in downtown Toronto August 1-3 (2 nights) 2012, as part of a Mirvish entertaiment package that included hotel, theatre tickets and restaurant vouchers. All went well until 2:00 A.M. our first night when water came leaking from a crack in the ceiling right onto our bed (onto my face, in fact!).. We had to pack up our things and move rooms to another floor. Needless to say, our sleep was severely interrupted! But we accepted the siutation in good humour, and were asked to talk to the desk next day. We did so, and as compensation were promised that the $50/night room upgrade charges would be waived for both nights of our stay, as well as a $100 credit toward our next stay. We accepted this as fair, and when we checked out on Aug. 3, it was confirmed that there were no outstanding charges owing on our bill. We also received an email apologizing for our troubled first night. Much to my surprise, my credit card statement in September had a charge of $145.77 from Sheraton dated Aug. 8, 5 days after checkout! In the weeks since then , I have not been able to receive a satisfactory or detailed explantion from Sheraton for this charge, despite emailing to two employees. September 24, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tarnished Dismal Had booked a King room for our wedding anniversary (Jan 14th). Upon checking into the room found that "every" wooden surface was scratched/checked and on the telephone table someone's initials had been carved into the top. After taking a strol about the downtown core returned to the room to find water leaking from the ceiling. The corner chair, wall, carpet and electrical plugs were saturated. Drywall was falling from the ceiling due to the leak. The front desk was contacted and advised that a porter would attend with keys to another room. After waiting 15 - 20 minutes again contacted the front desk as we had a dinner reservation within the half hour. A porter did subsequently attend passing me the keys at the door advising if I didn't like the replacement room to again contact the front desk. There was no offer to assist with luggage nor check the substitute room. He sauntered off down the hall, thanks. Upon checking the substitute room I found it to be a double Queen, how romantic for my anniversary. I did not again contact the front desk as noted prior we had dinner reservations. Do I feel like a preferred quest, I think not. The rooms I refer to are #1089 and #1079, with pictures to verify if you must. January 19, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by baines excellent sevice we stayed here 2 times. good recognition for platinum spg status. excellent staff August 17, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Missantarctica5 Room too hot; problem with rate The temperature in this room (south tower) did not go below 24C while we were there, although I set the thermostat at 18.5 (the lowest setting) and the noisy fan ran constantly. It was very uncomfortable for sleeping. I am not the first to identify this problem, as I have since learned on TripAdvisor. I have stayed at this location many times, but always on the Nathan Phillips Square side and did not have this problem. I booked a special rate promoted by SPG and as I expected there to be four in our party, paid $20 extra for each extra guest. One of us could not get away in the end, so there were only three of us. I mentioned this at check-in, but was told that the rate could not be changed. Why not? If the extra charge is to account for extra towels, tea, coffee, cups, water bottles, etc. then I should not have been charged, as there were only three of us. AND the room came with only 3 towels, two coffee filters, two tea bags and two coffee cups, so it was a good thing that there were only three of us, one coffee drinker and one tea drinker. Next time I will book for only two people and add any extra people on at check-in. It was obvious that underneath the bed had not been vacuumed in a long time. December 23, 2012

There's something rather special about this HTPC that sets it apart from the pack — the AMD 3870K APU. This CPU/GPU hybrid offers respectable computing performance, but it's the casual gaming audience that will enjoy it most. Thanks to the Radeon graphics cores tucked away under the hood of this APU, it's easily the best of our HTPCs for gamers. Able to run today's DirectX11 games with decent levels of eye candy, it's the only HTPC we tested that is ready for gaming without needing a graphics card. If you're really serious about your games, we still recommend spending a little extra for a dedicated graphics card, and there's plenty of room inside for one.
That's because Scorptech has gone to amazing lengths to keep the interior of this HTPC nice and tidy. It's one of the best efforts we've ever seen at hiding the myriad wires and cables usually found inside a PC case. This can make things a little tricky when you need to swap something around, but it also delivers impeccable airflow. It's no surprise that the case is extremely quiet during operation, and the PC is further aided in its quest for silence with a quiet Western Digital hard drive.

See how washed out the picture looks (particularly the screen)? See how grainy the picture is? That's because of those settings, and those settings are also why the photo makes it look like there's decent visibility. Too bad your eyes have to collect light continuously and don't have 1/8 of a second to do so for every 'frame'. Not to mention your eyes won't be running at 'full aperture' (i.e. fully dilated) nor be dark adjusted (cones adapted to darker conditions) after starring at the screen.
Entirely unimpressive vapid one. Do you think no one here has any experience with cameras either? It's pretty damn easy to make a camera 'see' more light than the human eye in the dark. I do it all the time (I do astrophotography).
However, this time you had your GPS on, so at least we have some idea that the picture was actually taken at that theatre!
One thing I will give you, though, is that it does look like that particular theater has installed very unusual lights, probably because of the shooting. Anyone know what's up with that light?
No, it's because it was a cellphone and I had to lighten it to make it look more like it looked with the naked eye, otherwise it comes out way darker than it looks.
Simply visiting there yourself will put a stop to all of this silly speculation.
I actually figured I'd get called a liar about having been there, and am quite surprised I haven't been.
Yes - theater 9 has some new stuff, but I was also in theater 8 yesterday which looks more like pre-remodel 9 did, just a mirror image. Some of the stray slugs from 9 went into 8 next door and hit people. You can still see people coming up the stairs and identify moviegoers from staff. You can see their Monsters, Inc. tshirts and the walkietalkies on their waistbands.
If you wanted to see ticket stubs, just ask. Theater 9 is now known as XD and theater 8 is Auditorium H (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet).
Other pics I've taken:

Months after the horrific school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, the community will march on – stronger than ever.
The annual parade marking the end of summer will take place – continuing a decades-old tradition.
Follow the year-long journey of healing in a community that chooses love.

We are war weary in our country: Iraq, Afghanistan, even the memories of Viet Nam for some of us are enough to cause us to exhale grief as we recall images of caskets draped with our own stars and stripes. And now those images of innocent civilians in Syria writhing in pain from chemicals invading their bodies and killing them, their children, their families.
The evil in the world is ever-present. Where is one safe? What next?

Kudos to Karen Erickson of Spokane who was a reporter for the Spokane Chronicle in 1963 when Gail Caldwell of Marycliff High School was named the city's first black Lilac Princess. See my story about the historic event.
Erickson filled in a bit of disturbing history in her recent letter to the editor about the 1963 parade. She wrote:
As a cub reporter for The Spokane Chronicle covering the parade, I was beside the reserved platform as the Royal Court approached in bunting-decked convertibles. A young man in a Junior Chamber of Commerce lavender blazer was helping the hoop-skirted princesses mount the platform. To my shock and embarrassment, he glimpsed the black princess and retreated, unwilling to assist her. Another gentleman quickly came forward to graciously provide an escort.This reporter scuttled back to the newsroom to advise her city editor, "Have I got a parade sidebar for you!"
Horror and disgust flashed across Gordon Coe's face. He literally banged his forehead on his desk. "I wish to hell you hadn't told me that … because you aren't going to read about it in the Chronicle," he responded. And no one did, until now. We now recognize Gail Caldwell Bonner's courage in handling that "first black Lilac princess" role with grace and dignity.I've waited a half-century to report this story. But I do so now realizing we've come a long way in Spokane toward respecting full equality.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, Karen. One of the great gifts living into older age is that one day, you can finally tell some truths, some untold stories and set straight the family/workplace/community record.

I don't know how this report will affect the hiring of 65-plus cab drivers, delivery drivers or truck drivers, but it should give us all pause. I guess if you're looking for an encore career after 65, you might try a line of work that doesn't include a lot of driving.
Excerpt from the HealthDayNews story:
Older workers who drive as part of their job have significantly higher traffic death rates than younger workers, U.S. health officials reported Thursday.Workers aged 65 and older have about three traffic-related deaths per 100,000 people, which is triple the rate of workers aged 18 to 54, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The 20s are a tough decade for most. You usually look good, but all that drama! Here's another reason to be glad the 20s have passed you by. In your 50s and 60s, you likely won't be in nightclubs featuring foam parties.
Here's an excerpt from a recent report about eye injuries at a foam party from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
On May 26, 2012, the Collier County Health Department was notified by law enforcement and hospital personnel that approximately 40 persons had sought care at local emergency departments because of severe eye irritation and pain. Patients reported that they had attended a foam party at a local nightclub the night before. At foam parties, soapy foam is sprayed onto the dance floor while participants dance. The foam is distributed from blowers on the ground or attached to the ceiling, and several feet of foam can accumulate. Foam parties can last for several hours while foam is dispersed intermittently throughout the night.
Seems Pope Francis I likes to communicate via the telephone. Really! The pope has picked up the phone – without staff assistance – and called people to offer comfort, thanks or perhaps simply to chat.
If your caller ID comes up with Vatican City attached to an unknown number, you just may want to answer the call. Francis did.

I remember the day my son started Kindergarten. I wore Yoko Ono-type sunglasses, not to shield the sun, but to shield my son from his mommy's tears. Such an act of trust to hand-off your precious child to someone who may teach them, but never love them like a mommy loves. And so the separations between us went on: school, field trips, overnights to friends' homes, church adventures, a red-eye flight to the East to attend three weeks of theatre camp, a week of volunteering at a migrant camp. Little short good-byes followed with lively reunions of hugs, and always animated stories of what transpired.
Now soon…my son may pack up his life and be gone. He asked: "Will you be heartbroken when we don't spend Christmas together?" I answered in theory: "Well, when one's child is happy, that is what makes parents happy. So, when you are living far away and you are happy – I will be happy." He simply smirked.
Launching children on their next adventures, demands we take time to assess what these steps mean. And while I believe it was simply a few years ago, I was headed across the country to embark on my young adult adventures, I feel old. And blessed. Parenthood provides a chance to become our best selves when we listen to our best teachers: our children.
As another transition looms, I can't find those Yoko Ono sunglasses or words to explain my profound love for my son. As Michael Gerson writes in his column about dropping off his eldest child at college: "…The very best thing about your life is a short stage in someone's else's story." May our children's stories continue as wonderful, safe and joyful adventures.

They were so cool when they first arrived! A CD player in your car. My 2004 Murano (God rest its totaled soul) had a six-CD player in it and I loved it. And while I do own an iPod, I long for a six-CD player in the new car - it has room for one CD at a time. And a jack for an iPod with infinite choices.
Something about the tactile nature of each CD and my ability to precisely select what I want to hear appeals to me from my Murano days. But soon, all cars may be manufactured without any CD player (see story).
Sometimes infinite choice actually takes away direct control.

My Sunday story was about Gail Caldwell Bonner, Spokane's first black Lilac Princess, elected in 1963 from Marycliff High School in Spokane.
I interviewed Gail and three of the friends who rallied around her to get her nominated 50 years ago in a history making move.
As I transcribed the interviews, I found myself with tears in my eyes. Unusual. Several people emailed me today to tell me the story brought tears to their eyes, too.
I think they are tears of gratitude, for these women who, 50 years ago, knew our country's future was going to be a lot more color blind and judge people more readily on things other than their race.
They were prophets, Maryclff style. So glad I got to tell their story.

In September 2006, more than a year before the housing boom busted and the Great Recession descended upon the land, the Inland Northwest was dotted with construction cranes, the outward sign of the good times.
The new tower at The Spokane International Airport was being built, using a crane as big as my imagination. For a Labor Day 2006 column, I climbed it and wrote about the man who operated it.
At the end of the column, I wrote: "I will never see a construction crane with the same eyes again."
And then, within two years, the cranes disappeared from the landscape. No one was really building. I missed them, because of what they stood for.
This week, I have spotted cranes again. There's one in the Kendall Yards development and at the Spokane VA Medical Center.
It's the sign of something, a community building again, new housing, an improved VA Center, a hope for the future that the cranes will dot the landscape again.

If socialization is essential to healthy aging, it makes sense that extroverts — who tend to thrive in crowds and at parties - would do better in their older years.
A study in the Journal of Research in Personality, as reported at HealthDayNews, "found that for nearly 4,600 British adults followed for decades, those who were 'extroverts' in their youth gave higher ratings to their well-being and satisfaction with life once they'd reached their early 60s."
The researchers were quick to point out that shy people can age well, too. The folks in the study reporting high satisfaction in their 60s were also emotionally stable and "less neurotic" than others in their younger years.
So if you were a neurotic extrovert in your 20s does it cancel out the positive effect in your 60s? Guess I'll have to wait and see.

A good doctor of the kind depcited in Norman Rockwell paintings died last week. Alex VanderWilde, our family physician, passed on. Read his obituary. He was born in 1926 and lived through a unique experience during World War II. I wrote about him in 2003.
Dr. VanderWilde grew up in Bandoeng on the Island of Java in the former Dutch East Indies, a Dutch colony at the time. It's now Indonesia. His father, a coffee, tea and rubber trader, was from Holland. His mother was a native of the island. Dr. VanderWilde was the youngest of five children. He was 16 when the Dutch East Indies "capitulated'' to the Japanese on March 9, 1942.
All the schools were closed. "I thought this was a fantastic idea,'' he said. "Then, the reality set in.''
A few months later, the Japanese went door to door and led residents away at riflepoint. Eventually, Dr. VanderWilde landed at an all-male civilian work camp. When I asked him where he slept, he joked: "It wasn't the Best Western. It was the Worst Western!'' Then, he showed me a drawing of the wood pallets the boys and men slept on. No mattresses, no blankets, no sheets. He didn't change clothes for a year. He and the others received one meal a day - spare soup and some bread.They worked like dogs, and many died. Dr. VanderWilde hoped to be a physician before the war. The work camp experience sealed his choice.
Dr. VanderWilde was always ahead of his times. He believed in natural childbirth in the days women were gassed to oblivion during childbirth. He was an early skeptic of the value of cholesterol drugs and some of his fears about the drugs seem to be coming true. He always knew, and gently conveyed, that many ailments had underlying emotional components. He was a gem. In retirement, he and his wife grew Christmas trees.
My mother, 92, has been pretty disciplined all her life about eating and exercising, one reason she likely outlived all her siblings, a husband and an older-age boyfriend.
But she always had one secret passion — chocolate. She eats several pieces of chocolate most days after dinner. Even her doctor a year or so ago told her to eat that chocolate with joy. She does. On some days, she has a better memory than most of us kids!
Today, a Los Angeles Times story in our newspaper should erase any guilt she has about her daily indulgence. It said that "in a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology, researchers reported that chocolate may help improve brain health and thinking skills in the elderly."
So eat and enjoy that chocolate, Mom. It's good role-modeling.

Didn't the tourist's mom teach him: "Look, don't touch!" The lovely piece – the Virgin Mary by Giovanni d'Ambrogio at Florence, Italy's Museo dell'Opera del Duomo- now has one less finger because the American tourist was compelled to mess with a piece of ancient art. (See story)
Italians cherish their romantic city with all its Renaissance treasures; and when they speak about the paintings, writings, architecture and sculptures, you wonder if they knew Michelangelo, Dante and Petrarch personally. Italians live as though they did.
While the Uffizi in Florence displays Botticelli's magnificent works and rooms and rooms of other treasures, it is the Museo dell'Opera dell Duomo where some equally inspiring pieces live: Donatello's Mary Magdalene, a craggy wooden sculpture my son termed "Mary Hagdalene" when he saw – and loved - it. He was ten years old when we traveled to Florence. And I am certain that Mary "Hagdalene" still has all her fingers. I taught my son while in the presence of these magnificent works we are profoundly privileged and above all else: "Look, don't touch!"

My Sunday story, on Spokane firefighter Mike Rose, is sweeping its way on Facebook. Wish I could claim my writing. But I think Spokesman-Review photo journalist and videographer Colin Mulvany's spectacular photo is the reason. He took this at the funeral of firefighter John Knighten July 8 but we didn't run it until Sunday because we wanted to respect Knighten's memorial service and keep the focus on him on July 9. So Colin and I worked together to discover the story behind the man who collapsed, Mike Rose, who is amazing. He's determined to return to work at the profession he loves. Dedication.
Sometimes one needs a poem. My friend loves poetry. Today, I will escort her to her first round of chemotherapy - for her returning cancer. We cried in church a few weeks ago as she told me her health status. We shared breast cancer journeys years ago…and now this monster returns inside her body.
I believe compassion is simply the act of walking into the middle of another person's suffering and staying present. And I believe that walk demands courage. I pray for my courage to accompany us as she takes these next steps. I pray,too, for kindness.
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.
Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
—Naomi Shihab Nye

Delicious breakfast option, read the label!
I give this product a full 5 stars because it is one of the only breakfast prepared meals that actually taste good and dont leave me feeling like crap after I eat them.
Please read the ingredients label though. This stuff contains a lot of preservatives and chemicals. I only use this for for rare occasions when I need a quick and easy meal before a long climb/backpack. Otherwise I would stick with making my own from OvaEasy and other FD ingredients that I can add myself without all the fillter, preservatives and crap.

Great Product
I have tried the pouch and it was fantastic! I like Nicole's Suggestion of adding the cheese of your choice. In fact I like MH 3 FD cheese combo even better! Also a dash of Butter powder and my ever favorite Frank's Hot Sauce or your your fav hot sauce to top it off after serving!!! Also try adding a bit of garlic or onion salt to the water when boiling it.
Only one mild warning: Use the HOTTEST water to prepare and if it's not boiling add a few minutes more soaking time or you will be very unhappy with the "texture" when eating.

No more doubts! It's a winner!
I'm a big breakfast person and have read about the Breakfast Skillet for months now. Always a doubter would scratch my head and think it was to good to be true. Nothing is as good a scratch.
Well, I finally bought a can and it is delicious! I eat it plain, with Salsa or with cheese. Wrapped or unwrapped it is great.
I thought at first I had made a bad decision when I opened the can and saw the contents, but don't be deceived! I followed the directions a lack wit could follow I realized my fears were unfounded.
Thank you EE...my days of sitting in the drive thru for sausage burritos id over!

Hats off to seniors at Lake County Fair Senior Citizen's Day
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent August 4, 2014 10:36PM
Excitement overwhelms Arlene Dunn of Crown Point Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, when she is named the first place winner in the Senior Citizen Day red hat contest at the Lake County Fair. | Carrie Napoleon/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 6, 2014 6:03AM
CROWN POINT — Senior citizens from near and far sharpened their carving knives and put on their best red hats Monday for Senior Citizens' Day at the Lake County Fair.
Linda Hogan of Lowell had her family out to support her during the contest. Her daughter Kelly Hawkins and her granddaughters, twins Caitlin and Kelsey, 4, made the trip up from Fishers to cheer Hogan on and spend the day at the fair.
"They just want to ride the rides," Hogan said of the girls.
She nabbed third place for her red hat, a patriotic, light-up top hat handcrafted from sheet metal by her friend Richard Oman of Lowell. The Red Hat Society member said she entered last year, with what she thought was a better hat, but did not win.
"I brought a cheering section this time. I think it helped."
Hawkins regularly attended the fair as a child with her mom, said this is the first time her daughters had been to the fair. The girls were eager to see the horses and chickens and were ready to hit the midway right after their grandmother finished the competition.
"It's a blast. They love it," Hawkins said.
First-place winner Arlene Dunn of Crown Point had her family in tow for support as well. Great-nephew Devin Holcomb, came up from Iowa to spend some time at the fair and support his aunt. He has been to the fair a number of times over the years.
"It's been a lot of fun," he said.
His aunt, Debbie Lilly, and grandfather, Joel Ebert, both of Crown Point, also were in tow.
"It's a family affair," Lilly said.
