The Bush Administration's Fiscal Year 2009 budget request for NASA includes an overall increase for space exploration, but aeronautics research continues to fall short, the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) said last month. The request totals $17.6 billion, an increase of 2.9 percent from Fiscal Year 2008.
"Aeronautics research and development is significantly under-funded once again, affecting transitional research that enables technology from government labs to move to real-life applications," said AIA president and CEO Marion Blakey.
The former FAA Administrator added that the $447 million aeronautics request continues a lengthy trend of inadequate R&D funding. Even allowing for accounting changes that shifted agency-wide support costs from the R&D budget to a central fund, the amount pales in comparison to the height of aeronautics R&D investment–$1.54 billion in 1994, she said.
AIA said the budget request for NASA has several bright spots within an overall increase of almost 3 percent. It covers continued space exploration priorities while boosting Earth observation efforts and the Commercial Orbital Transportation System (COTS) program.
"Exploration and NASA's science activities are vital to maintaining our status as the world's space leader," Blakey said. "We need to continue making space a national priority and the administration's budget does that."
NASA has several important undertakings in the next few years, including making 11 scheduled flights before the Space Shuttle is retired in 2010 and developing the next generation of vehicles in the Constellation program.
The request seeks $910 million over five years to fund five Earth observation systems, and it includes full funding of the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services project. By encouraging privately owned spacecraft to re-supply the ISS, COTS is reinforcing the U.S. space program at a critical time, she added.

WHAT THIS ISThis document is a code of best practices that helps educators using media literacy concepts and techniques to interpret the copyright doctrine of fair use. Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances – especially when the cultural or social benefits of the use are predominant. It is a general right that applies even in situations where the law provides no specific authorization for the use in question – as it does for certain narrowly defined classroom activities.
This guide identifies five principles that represent the media literacy education community's current consensus about acceptable practices for the fair use of copyrighted materials, wherever and however it occurs: in K-12 education, in higher education, in non-profit organizations that offer programs for children and youth, and in adult education.
This code of best practices does not tell you the limits of fair use rights. Instead, it describes how those rights should apply in certain recurrent situations. Educators' and students' fair use rights may, of course, extend to other situations as well.

It may not be a shotgun, as the lyrics proclaim, but make no mistake — Lambert is armed. The reason she guns up? She was the recipient of a death threat and needs to protect herself, which she does by taking matters into her own hands.

As the longest-serving manager in Cape Coral's history, Terry Stewart has seen historic growth and now an unprecedented decline in his city.
Whether he continues to lead the city's administration through its next chapter depends on a vote today from the City Council. The council is set to decide whether to extend Stewart's contract beyond February.
While all of the council members have raised issues about Stewart's performance, only Councilman Pete Brandt has said he would push to end the contract.
Stewart believes he will continue as city manager.
"I expect to have a job after Monday," he said. "It is my desire to remain here. I want to continue to work here. If they decide to terminate my contract, they will have to pay me what they owe me."
Stewart's annual salary is $162,000.
It will take five council members to end that contract – a move that appears unlikely given members' past and current appraisals of the city manager.
"The jury's still out on some things," said Councilman Eric Grill. "I do not have a yes or no."
Grill and Pete Brandt were the only two council members to give Stewart a less than satisfactory review when the council discussed Stewart's performance in March.
Brandt this week sent a memo to the council outlining his case against Stewart.
"He (Stewart) has redeemed himself in some areas," Grill said. "But there are still some issues with accountability."
Grill said he was alarmed with an error in the city's Department of Community Development that was discovered last week. The department gave the go-ahead to a commercial building even though one of the parcels on the site was still zoned for residential homes.
Dolores Bertolini was the only council member in March to give Stewart an "excellent rating." Her opinion, she said, hasn't changed.
"I put my issues in two columns: – one unforgivable and one workable," Bertolini said. "Every issue I've had with the city manager has been workable."
The other four council members in March gave Stewart satisfactory marks on his evaluation. Despite a few concerns, including displeasure at Stewart's call to raise the tax rate, none of the council members have pushed for Stewart's removal.
"I'm still undecided," said Councilman Jim Burch. "I lean one way one day and one way the next."
Mayor Eric Feichthaler planned to meet today with Stewart to discuss the vote.
The City Council in 2002 voted unanimously to hire Stewart, picking him over three other finalists. Stewart was fresh from an eight-year tenure as assistant city manager for Pembroke Pines, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale with about the same population as Cape Coral.
During his time on the state's east coast, Stewart helped oversee rapid growth faster even than the Cape's growth during the same period.
When Stewart got to the Cape, the city exploded. Since 2002, the Cape has added about 55,000 new residents and more than quadrupled its taxable value. The rise in value meant the city's property tax revenues went from $26 million to a high of $102 million in 2007.
With rising population and influx of cash, the city added 150 police officers, 97 firefighters and a total of 707 employees across all departments. General fund spending went from $67 million to $150 million this year.
But almost as fast as it climbed, the city's taxable value is starting to plummet – 25 percent this year. Homes that sold for $300,000 two years ago are now sitting on the market for half that. And as property values drop, so do property taxes. The city will take in about $24.6 million less in taxes next year.
As challenging as it was to hold the reins of city growing at breakneck speed, it may prove even more difficult to shrink a city government.
"I told him that he did a good job building up the city," said Councilman Bill Deile. "Now I want to see how well he is at dismantling that empire."
In Stewart's budget proposal for next year, he calls for cutting 110 positions, 24 of which are filled. Stewart had asked the City Council to raise the tax rate 6 percent to offset plummeting tax revenue. The council refused and set the maximum tax rate at this year's level.
Stewart now needs to find another $4.7 million to cut from his budget proposal.
Since taking office, Stewart has never had anything but an overall favorable performance review from the council. But in that time period, the public's perception of the city has taken blows.
The price of the city's utility expansion program skyrocketed during the construction boom in 2005 and 2006. Minimum assessments to homeowners went from about $12,000 in the Southwest 3 Assessment Area to about $20,000 in the SW 4 area. The higher costs soured residents' view of the project. A stinging 2006 audit of the program from Kessler International further poised that perception.
Stewart disagreed with many of Kessler's findings, and has asked the council not to bring back Kessler International for a follow-up audit, despite calls to do so from some on council and the community.
The Department of Community Development also has faced criticism from the City Council for errors under Stewart's leadership. The department handled 7,700 single-family building permits during the 2004-05 fiscal year. There have been 170 so far this fiscal year with two months to go. The crash has meant a reduction in staff, but Grill and others continue to point to problems.
Councilman Derrick Donnell said the opinion of his constituents is mixed. But little has happened, he said, to shake his "satisfactory" assessment of Stewart four months ago.
"He has some strong points and he has some weak points," Donnell said. "All of us, including me, have areas we need to work on. And all of us have our strong points."
Kessler gets definitive answers.

U.K. Semantic Web efforts are in full swing, as evidenced by a couple of recent developments:
â– The University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science, whose roster of professors includes Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Nigel Shadbolt, said it is now the UK's first University department to release all its public data in open linked data format.
This includes data around some 20,000 publications in its Eprints archive of research papers (though not the documents themselves), research groups, teaching modules, and seminars and events. What's key about the announcement is that there's no legal requirement for what can be done with all the public (RDF) data from rdf.ecs.soton.ac.uk and eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk, or around its attribution, so as not to impede the development of large-scale mashups.
Data reuse will operate under the creative commons public domain (CC)) license. All the data also is loaded into a SPARQL endpoint which it plans to open up in a few weeks. "This data includes stuff like our publication metadata, membership of our research groups and projects and the mapping of module ID to module name. The risk of harm to us of someone using it without attribution are far outweighed by the risk of people not using our data!", Christopher Gutteridge, ECS Web Projects Manager, told the Semantic Web blog.
â– The BBC, whose bbc.co.uk site already is a strong proponent of the semantic web and linked data, has upped the ante with its World Cup 2010-focused site. The BBC has previously noted, for instance, that it uses DBpedia as a controlled vocabulary for tagging its programs (or clips from them) and news stories with DBpedia URIs so that it can mesh-up content across the BBC to create "new journeys" across bbc.co.uk. Now this week it has disclosed that Its World Cup 2010 website is the highpoint of the work it has been doing utilizing metadata and linked data to organize and manage content.
It's the first time, the BBC says, that such a high-profile site is leveraging its innovations in creating a high-performance dynamic semantic publishing stack. Writes Jem Rayfield, Senior Technical Architect, BBC News and Knowledge, "this framework facilitates the publication of automated metadata-driven web pages that are light-touch, requiring minimal journalistic management, as they automatically aggregate and render links to relevant stories." (See more here.)
In an earlier posting John O'Donovan, Chief Technical Architect, Journalism and Knowledge, BBC Future Media & Technology, explained that the World Cup site has over 700 aggregation pages (called index pages) that can lead readers to the thousands of story pages and content which make up the whole site. "Normally, managing all these index pages for the World Cup would not be possible as each of these needs to be curated by an editor, setting up automation rules or keeping it up to date with latest stories and information," he wrote. "To put the scale of this task in perspective, the World Cup site has more index pages than the rest of the Sport site!"
• Don't forget to propose your startup for our Semantic Web Impact Awards. The deadline is Sept. 15.

With its season on the line, Holdingford pulled off a dramatic rally to stun top-seeded Paynesville Area 9-8 in the Sub-Section 6AA East elimination round, May 24 at Waite Park.
The game got off to a back-and-forth start, with Paynesville erasing an early 5-2 Holdingford lead with six unanswered runs, taking an 8-5 edge into the seventh.
After a single by junior McKenzie Dockendorf and a fielder's choice, senior Jena Volkers delivered a base hit and senior Alyssa Ohman was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Senior Haley Huls followed with a two-run single to close the gap to one, then senior Ashley Breth provided the clutch go-ahead hit, which proved to be the game-winner.
Ohman scattered 16 Paynesville hits in the complete-game effort, with Dockendorf and sophomore Amy Catlin collecting two hits apiece offensively.
Holdingford now takes on Pequot Lakes in another elimination game, Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Waite Park.
If Holdingford wins, it will play the loser between Milaca and Staples Motley at approximately 7 p.m., with a spot in the section championship game on the line.

Strangling suspect to get mental tests
GERING, Neb. -- A mental health evaluation has been scheduled for a 15-year-old Wyoming boy charged with killing a Nebraska jail guard.
Dylan Cardeilhac will be taken to the Omaha suburb of Papillion for the screening later this month.
Cardeilhac, of Torrington, has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the slaying of 24-year-old Amanda Baker on Feb. 14.
Authorities say he lured Baker into his jail cell and then pounced on her, strangling her from behind.
Roads to Old Faithful set to open
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK -- Spring plowing continues in Yellowstone National Park and people should be able to drive to Old Faithful starting Friday.
That would be right on time. Park officials typically try to get the roads east of West Yellowstone and south of Mammoth Hot Springs plowed and open by the third week of April.
Last year, federal budget cuts threatened to delay plowing in Yellowstone. Local officials pitched in to hire state snow plows and plow crews. That helped to get Yellowstone opened up on schedule.
Park officials say the park's gates should open up on time again this year. The East Entrance is scheduled to open May 2 and the South Entrance May 9.
The road from the North Entrance to the Northeast Entrance remains open all year.
Stolen wedding dress listed for sale
ROCK SPRINGS -- Sweetwater County deputies have arrested a man on a theft charge after a woman spotted her stolen wedding dress for sale on Facebook.
Authorities said Tuesday the dress and other items were taken from a home north of Rock Springs in February. On Thursday, the woman told authorities the dress was listed in a posting for a garage sale at a Rock Springs-area home.
Sheriff's officials say an undercover deputy bought the dress at the sale. Deputies then searched the home with a warrant they had already obtained and found other allegedly stolen goods, including a motorcycle missing from Uinta County since 2010.
Fifty-year-old Leon Lynch was arrested on suspicion of theft, wrongful taking or disposing of property and marijuana possession. No phone listing could be found for him.
Grass roof getting costly
JACKSON -- The grass roof over the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center may be replaced soon by more conventional, asphalt-based shingles.
National Elk Refuge spokeswoman Lori Iverson says the visitor center on the refuge at Jackson could have a new roof installed as early as this fall.
The sod roof has been leaking for a couple of years.
The elk refuge has requested $115,000 for a new roof.
But Iverson says estimated costs for a new earthen roof came in at more than twice as much -- between $250,000 and $300,000.

JUNEAU, Alaska—The group behind a proposed ballot initiative that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Alaska reported raising nearly $2,400 during the last quarter.
It was a non-monetary contribution of staff time from the Marijuana Policy Project, which advocates for fewer restrictions on marijuana across the country and has been supporting the Alaska proposal.
The proposed initiative would legalize the personal use and possession of marijuana by those 21 and older.
The group behind the initiative, the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana, reported ending the period with just under $900 on hand.
The disclosures came in a filing with the Alaska Public Offices Commission.

Response to
What are your favorite vintage air pistols?
No less an expert than Scott Pilkington has said that if he could only own one air pistol, the 65 is it. It's the one that can do absolutely everything you would ever need an air pistol to do, and do it in style.
The other ones I'd have a hard time giving up:
Hammerli Master--just the best CO2 cartridge gun ever, slim, elegant, beautiful
Beeman P1--IMHO the best non-match springer pistol ever made by a long shot
Webley Tempest--perfect handling, tough as an anvil, great power in a compact package
Webley Senior--the gun you frame, hang on the wall, and show the heathens, to illustrate what airgunning used to be!

Wenger lauds Diaby ahead of start against Spurs
Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal will soon see a new, stronger Abou Diaby at the heart of the Arsenal midfield on a regular basis.
The 20-year-old Frenchman is set to make his first start of the season in tonight's Carling Cup semi-final first leg at Tottenham following his recovery from an horrific ankle injury suffered towards the end of last season.
It has been a long road back to full fitness for the former Auxerre youngster, and Wenger admitted he feared for the career of the tough-tackling midfielder, often likened to ex-Gunners skipper Patrick Vieira.
Wenger said: 'I had a big doubt in my mind that he would come back.
'They told me first that the broken ankle was a very serious one and they needed advice from the surgeon, who was only optimistic after the surgery.
'I am very happy because he not only came back, but he looks even stronger than before.'
Wenger added: 'It is only his first game back and we must be patient - but he can be a great player and I am sure he will be.'
The Gunners boss believes Diaby's return will give another dimension to his midfield options.
'I feel we missed him because he gives you something that the other players do not have. That kind of Vieira presence in the physical challenges,' said Wenger.
'In some games you want him in there.
'Also in the air. When you go to a place and the ball is `up there' all the time it is very important to have a guy of his size on the throw-ins, set-pieces and long balls forward.'
The Arsenal manager believes Diaby can go on to emulate Vieira by winning a century of caps for France.
Wenger, though, did not want to draw too many direct comparisons with his former captain, who left for Juventus in the summer of 2005.
The Arsenal manager said: 'They are not similar sorts of players at all really - but in the style of run and behaviour and especially in the strength of the challenges he reminds me of Patrick.
'After that he is a different type of player.
'Patrick at the start was more of a tackler and defensive player, but then I suppose it is strange since he [Diaby] has come back from injury he is going into that kind of role.
'Before he was only interested in attacking. Now he uses his strength in the challenges.'
Wenger is set to continue his policy of fielding a youthful side tonight, having already beaten Barclays Premiership opposition at Everton and, in the last round, recorded an astonishing 6-3 victory away over Liverpool.
'They deserve it,' Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
'It is very difficult to say `listen you are good enough to play at Liverpool, but you are not good enough to play at Tottenham'. They have earned the right.'
Robin van Persie, meanwhile, is set to be sidelined for up to two months after fracturing a metatarsal bone in his foot when scoring the equaliser in the 2-1 Premiership win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Titanic 2020
after Cannibal City
"I'm telling you, Claire, if we run all of your pictures then we won't have any run left on the bloody paper!" Jimmy crossed the room and shook an old edition of the titanic times at Claire.
"We'll run the Fort hope story then your pictures" Jimmy said slowly, just to really annoy Claire,
Claire swolded and pursed her cupid bow lips, she narrowed her eyes
" But what about my photos, the cannibals, king slash, cleaver, the boat!" sha said gesturing around her,
"My photos are just as important, no, actually they're better than your horrible little rag" Claire screeched at him
"Easy now," Jimmy crossed the room and grabbed her by the shoulders
" I'll put in some of them, but I don't want them taken up all the room in my paper..."
" Your Paper? Your paper?" Claire pushed Jimmy away, hard. " Don't you touch me Jimmy Armstrong!"
" Aww come off it Claire, I didn't mean it like that, you know I did'nt!"
Claire spun around and headed towards the door, but before she could reach the handle, Jimmy threw himself against the door.
" Don't go, we need to sort this out, y'know, the paper" Jimmy hinted that it wasn't just the paper that was bugging him, the last few weeks after they had been left on the mainland had been chaotic, trying to stay alive was the main concern, now back to relative safety Jimmy had forgotten how much he missed the Titanic Times, and just being with Claire, not running for their lives, alone.
" Move out of the way" said Claire darkly, she wouldn't look at Jimmy.
" I'm sorry" Jimmy spluttered out,
"Well I don't care" Claire retorted, quickly she shoved herself against Jimmy, trying to dislodge him from the door, he didn't move. She pinched and shoved him again but to no avail, she was just about to give up when Jimmy took her hands and held them against his chest,
"I'm sorry" Jimmy said again, Claire glared at him
"Move" she whispered " out of my way"
Jimmy leaned forward and brushed his lips tenderly over Claire, he smiled when he heard her whimper, grabbing her slim hips, he pulled Claire close to him, peppering light kisses down her neck,
" I missed you" he murmered against her skin, Claire smirked
"Missed you too babe" Claire lifted her head to look into Jimmys chocolate-y brown eyes,
"Am I forgiven?" Jimmy asked, as he started combing his fingers though Claire's long jet black hair,
"Maybe, are you going to give me a proper kiss?" she teased lightly. Jimmy positively beamed. He nodded his head down to meet with Claires eager lips, gently he outlined her lips with his tongue and passionately their tongues intertwined.
" We'll get back to the paper later" Claire said as she continued to kiss the Irish boy.

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan
|Dallas Bogan on 29 July 2004

What would we do without our daily or weekly newspapers? Although television
has taken over as a huge media success, the newspaper and its coverage still
has a large hold on our lives. The writer this week shall focus on the history
of the early printing presses in Ohio.
The large towns of the early Nineteenth Century such as Dayton, Springfield, Columbus and Cincinnati can trace their newspaper publications back to the very early times of the organization of the State, before and shortly after. Chillicothe has long claimed to give itself the prestige of publishing the first newspaper east of the Allegheny Mountains. This claim has gone unchallenged.
The Scioto Gazette (first publication in 1792) was in existence when Springfield, Dayton and Cincinnati were but mere trading posts. News of their families and neighbors along the Atlantic seaboard, and news of the events of the old World were printed. Seven years prior to the appearance of The Gazette, Ohio boasted a printing press. The press was used largely for commercial purposes and did not for several years serve as a publisher of news.
A year after the Chillicothe newspaper was founded; Cincinnati took her place in the newspaper field, it having the distinction of publishing the second newspaper in Ohio. In 1793 an old press of the Ramage pattern (now exhibited in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington) was floated down the Ohio River to Fort Washington, now the site of Cincinnati. On this press was published the Queen City's first "recognized" newspaper, "The Liberty Hall."
In 1806, a Lebanonite of the highest distinction, John McLean, learned the old Ramage press was for sale. Racing against time, he caught the first stage to the Queen City for the express purpose of purchasing it. His success was assured, and in a few weeks the primitive old machine was installed in the City of Cedars. That same year, the old press began striking off the first edition of The Western Star, a newspaper that still carries the excellent tradition that it was founded on. It is at present time the oldest weekly newspaper in Ohio.
Among the first editors of the Star which received national attention in pursuance of their editorial work, were the distinguished names of: Nathaniel McLean, a brother of the founder; A.H. Dunlevy, Wm. H.P. Denny, Dr. James Scott, Judge George R. Sage, and Hon. Seth W. Brown.
The revelation of the first printing press in Lebanon was achieved some time before the appearance of the press in Hamilton, Dayton, Urbana, Springfield or Xenia. Advertisements and announcements were sent from these cities to The Western Star to be inserted for publication. All the "job work" for those towns was struck off on the old wooden Ramage press. It outgrew its usefulness in time and near the close of the Civil War, it was sold and removed to a western State.
The press was worked with a bar, which required a long, hard days labor to print as many as 300 copies of a small-sized newspaper. Lines of type in those days consisted of thin splints of wood, similar to those used for the seats of chairs. The type was inked with pelt- balls, since the use of rubber for printer rollers was unknown.
McLean used that pioneer piece of machinery to implement a flourishing business. In 1808, he secured a contract with the Shakers to print a rather large volume entitled, "Christ's Second Coming." The work was completed by the end of the year and some of the books were bound by hand at Lebanon.
Other early publications off the old press were: an almanac for the year 1812, with weather calculations by Matthias Corwin, Jr.; "The Ohio, or Western, Spelling Book," which was printed by A. Van Fleet in Lebanon in 1814. The same author printed and published the same year a volume entitled, "The Ohio Justice and Township Officers Assistant." In 1822, a monthly magazine known as the "Ohio Miscellaneous Museum" was issued from the Star office. The first four publications were a valuable relic in the library of the Mechanics Institute in Lebanon.
In 1826, The Ohio State Journal and Columbus Gazette inserted in their publication a complete list of Ohio newspapers published at the time. The list goes as such: The State Journal, at Columbus; The Ohio Monitor, at Columbus; The Western Statesman, at Columbus; The Ohio Repository, at Canton; The Scioto Gazette, at Chillicothe; The Western Star, at Lebanon; The Patron, at Delaware; The Clintonian and Xenia Register, at Xenia; The Western Pioneer, at Springfield; The Mad River Courant, at Dayton; and The Register at Eaton.
Cornelius Van Ausdale, the first merchant of Eaton, has been given the honor of being the originator of the first newspaper in the county seat and in the County of Preble. The Western Telegraph was created in 1817. In 1819, Van Ausdale made the acquaintance of Judge Samuel Tizzard, who along with Van Ausdale, was a member of the Ohio Legislature.
Judge Tizzard had learned the trade of printing with his tenure at The Scioto Gazette office in Chillicothe. A friendship immediately developed between the two, and at the end of their terms in 1820, chaperoned by Van Ausdale, Judge Tizzard traveled to Eaton and became impressed with the newspaper. The Judge had been seeking to purchase an enterprise of this sort. He promptly bought the equipment of the then defunct Western Telegraph, and published the first number of The Eaton Weekly Register.
Dayton was not far behind Lebanon in the journalistic field. The first paper to be printed in the Gem City was known as The Repertory, which was printed on a single sheet consisting of foolscap paper, eight by twelve inches. William McClure and George Smith printed it on a small hand press. The first publication was printed September 18, 1808, and the last printing was issued on December 4, 1809. The press used was considered a marvel for the time period. It was brought from Pennsylvania and its construction was entirely of metal. The news contained in The Repertory consisted of but a few paragraphs, word from Europe being three months old at the time of publication.
Springfield at this time was still making peace with the few remaining Indians. The wilderness had not yet been conquered and a new town site was still in the planning stage. However, in 1817, with growing progress being made in the new town, a newspaper was established, the name of the first publication being, The Farmer. Prospering for a brief period, it soon became disorderly. A temporary break in its publication was reestablished under the name of The Republic, and respectively, The Republic Times, The Press Republic, and the Daily News.
Springfield, though being late in the development of a newspaper, had another enterprise that was established as a manufacturer of woolen goods. The plant suffered financial difficulty and was soon taken over by Jacob W. and William Hill. It was modified and was made into a paper mill. This change in hands soon implanted Springfield with the first paper mill in all this part of the country. It furnished much of the paper on which our pioneer publications were printed.
The writer has tried to describe in a brief moment the beginnings of the newspaper business in Ohio. Although many of the leading publications in the United States have combined their efforts because of financial strappings, there will always be a place for printed news and gleanings of local insight.

There wasn't any space to build a new home in the Brookhaven neighborhood when Lisa and Robert Baxter considered moving there three years ago.
But that wasn't a deterrent — the couple, newly married at the time, demolished an existing home, making room to build their current house in the Farmers Branch neighborhood.
"The biggest attraction for me was the value; I was able to buy the house and recover the lot to build on, which was less than an equal or smaller lot elsewhere," said Robert Baxter, 56, who grew up in Farmers Branch.
The neighborhood, located north of Valley View Lane, east of Webb Chapel Road, south of Belt Line Road and west of Marsh Lane, was found to be the best for city dwellers, according to a data analysis by The Dallas Morning News.
Demolition of older houses is becoming more common in the neighborhood, which consists mostly of homes built in the 1950s and '60s, and includes Brookhaven Country Club and its three golf courses, said John Land, Farmers Branch economic development director.
Land attributes the increased availability of the lots to older residents making the move to other types of housing, opening space that has drawn more young families in recent years.
"There's folks that have moved here and never moved out — for a while there weren't any houses," he said. "Those houses are starting to open up again."
The News conducted a survey measuring livability of neighborhoods, which found that residents in city settings value issues including safety, affordability and proximity to work, shopping and dining.
Lisa Baxter, 54, said she likes her neighborhood for its ease of access to everything she needs.
"We are Stars hockey fans, and it takes us 15 minutes to get to American Airlines [Center]; we're right by the airports," she said. "It's really nice if you are a city dweller, if you like the amenities of Dallas but don't want to live in Dallas."
Land noted the proximity of Brookhaven College, located on the neighborhood's outskirts.
"If you're a jogger, Brookhaven College is across the street," he said. "You see tons of people out there running, people pushing strollers."
Denise Wallace, who moved to a house on one of the golf courses 17 years ago, said she loves the proximity to work — she's a librarian at the Manske Library, located just outside the neighborhood.
"I'm a mile and an half from work," she said. "It's a prime location, right there at 635 and 35, and the [Dallas North] Tollway's not far."
Wallace said she and her husband, now empty nesters, like the older, established feel of the neighborhood.
"It's very much a community feel," she said. "There's beautiful trees; it's on the golf course."
Lisa Baxter said although she and her husband are not golfers, they enjoy the benefits of living on the golf course with proximity to the country club, where they are social members.
"We do enjoy the golf course in the evenings after the golfers have left," she said. "We walk on the paths; our granddaughters ride their bikes on it. It's like having a nice walking trail."
Robert Baxter also noted the convenience of the nearby Farmers Branch DART station. He and his wife occasionally ride DART when visiting places such as the Dallas Convention Center and State Fair of Texas.
"It drops us off where we want to go," he said. "So it's a plus."
Robert Baxter said he and his wife hope to stay in their house for a long time to come.
"We're content to live there," he said. "When we open our home to people, it's a great place to entertain."

The earthquake that struck Sunday in the region of Emilia Romagna killed at least five people and extensively damaged many historic buildings. But at least two automakers with deep roots in the region said their operations were not impacted by the quake or its aftershocks.
In a media statement, Lamborghini, whose central operations are in Sant'Agata Bolognese, roughly 19 miles from the quake's epicenter, said production activities "were continuing regularly" at its assembly plant. "There are some minor damages that will be repaired immediately," the statement continued. The automaker was checking with suppliers to gauge whether delays could be expected.
Ferrari, which builds its cars in Maranello, roughly 12 miles south of Modena, did not issue a statement, but Karen Vonder Meulen, a spokeswoman for Ferrari North America, confirmed by telephone that production was going on as scheduled at the automaker's facilities.
It was unclear whether the Modena-based Enzo Ferrari Birthplace Museum, inaugurated in March, was affected, but major news organizations in the region did not include it among the structures that sustained damage.

My husband and I love this shampoo. We both have sensitive skin, so we appreciate that this product is fragrance free. It lathers well and gets our fine hair super clean.
My husband switched to this from Paula's Choice Hair and Body Shampoo, which didn't clean as well, leaving his hair looking greasy. I switched to the Earth Science shampoo from Giovanni 50:50. I love the performance of the Giovanni, but the essential oils and plant extracts were causing dermatitis in my ears. I do find that the Earth Science shampoo can be a little drying, even though my hair isn't typically prone to dryness, but following with conditioner solves this problem (I didn't need to use conditioner with the Giovanni shampoo, though I usually used one anyway).
I buy it at a significant discount at luckyvitamin.com or vitacost.com. We'll keep using this product unless we find another fragrance-free shampoo that we like better.

No that isn't a typo. My last name is Orth, so I thought I'd change Orpheum to Ortheum! :-)
Anyways, this is my first "real" theater build. I've been dreaming of having one since I was in junior high. Originally my basement was supposed to be a kids play room/tv room, somehow I convinced my wife to let me take up half of the kids area and add it to mine to make a theater! Don't know how I swung that. I don't really have that much of a budget, so I plan on stretching this out for a year or two. I must say that this forum has been a great inspiration to me, especially Jamis's thread. His layout is roughly the same size as mine. The one downfall to the forum is that I will be spendng WAY more money that I originally planned. I never really thought of soundproofing or sound treatment before.
Original plan.
New plan. (some things have changed, but I don't feel like making a new sketch.
To save on cash I/m going to be using most of my old audio gear. I do plan on buying a new sub and wiring for 7.1 even though my current receiver is 5.1. I may buy new surrounds depending on cash flow.
Equipment is
Receiver: Sony STR-DE545 Onkyo TX-NR929
Fronts: Yamaha NS-A100XT
Center: Yamaha NS-AC40X
Surrounds: Cerwin-Vega HT-S5 Fluance XLBP & Fluance XL7S
Sub: Yamaha YST-SW90 18" Exodus Audio Maelstrom X in NeoDan's Easy Button Max ported box.
Amp: Behringer EP2500 w/ Behringer MIC2200 for high pass filter.
Projector: Panasonic AE8000
Blu-ray Player: Oppo BDP-83 and a random sony one for 3D.
Protection: APC H15BLK
I plan on getting the Panasonic AE3000 for my projector and a DIY Cinescope AT screen somewhere from 110-120"
My dimension are 31ft long / 11ft wide / 7ft tall :-(. The rear of the theater will house a small closet/ equipment rack/ mini fridge/ computer desk, so the overall useful length is 27ft. I'd like to get 2 rows of 3 Berklines, with the 2nd row on a 8" riser and a 3-4 seat bar behind the riser. Yes I know 8" is short but I only will have about 7ft to work with. (less if I do the DIY star ceiling I want) I may put a smaller "mini" riser under just the rear seats. Seats may be harder to get into my shorter people but I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'10" and I'm making it comfortable for us. One problem I've encountered is my white sewer drain. I'm going to build a column around it and want to make others on both sides to match, but the column has to be 12" off the wall. Subtract 12" on each side from my already narrow 11ft and I'd only have 9ft between them. This is most likely where my front row will be, so I make make the one column 12" and the rest 6". I wonder if that will look strange? For soundproofing I used RCIS DC-04 clips on all 4 walls with a double wall between the kids room and theater. I will be running a soffit around the whole room and that will be decoupled using V-clips. I'm using Whisper clips on the rest of the main ceiling. Everything will be DD & GG.
Here's the door I will be using. I got it for a steal. It is 1¾" thick solid mahogany door.
Here's a couple pictures right when I started.
Looking at the screen wall.
Looking towards the rear where my desk and equipment rack will be.
Kids room.
Back corner framed out.
Looking towards the screen wall.
Looking back towards the rear.
Closeup of the in-progress equipment closet/built in mini fridge and nook for my built in desk.
Close up of my double wall between the kids play room and the theater. I haven't put up the header on the theater side yet.
That's a great idea. I'm may have to use the door to influence my columns and the cabinet doors of my desk.
What program did you use to make that sketch in the beginning? I have been using Google SketchUp for my 3-D modeling, but I am always looking for other programs.
Where did you get that door? Was it a local find, or did you purchase it from a retailer?
Here is the thread about the door.
I'm kinda at a standstill right now. I can't find 2.5" hat channel anywhere. As soon as I get that I can finish my soffits and run electrical.
1. He is using raintight couplings insted of set screw type couplings to join the emt.
2. He goes into a PVC Lb before entering into the panel.
He should make sure everything is grounded and bonded to be at the same potential. Using PVC and EMT does not constitute proper bonding.
Essentially your new panel isn't at the same potential as the feeder panel, and any plugs that he runs from the new panel won't actually be grounded.
Just something I noticed.
No need to locate the subs behing the screen, or in the front soundstage either....Forget the car sub, most spec for cabin gain for low end extension, something a theater space won't provide. Post your drivers TS parameters and i'll tell you for sure if it's a wasted effort or not. 1 twelve inch driver is not going to come close to the bass potential you'll need. You've already mentioned some space constraint issues, so i would try and avoid the obvious by placing subs on an already cramped floorplan. Consider the space and the equipment working together as a machine. I've seen many a theater with the shell of a Ferrari equiped with a 4cyl Honda soundsystem. Of course you could always argue that the soundsystem could be uprgaded later, but that often involves more constuction changes to accomadate. While concentrating on the overall design and construction seems a daunting task in it's self, try not to overlook the purpose of all your hard work.
For the most part I'd like to use what I have in the beginning, but make sure everything is setup for the eventual upgrade.
I was thinking about a 15" or 18" sub is a sealed box.
I hope your Electrician is qualified?? He should have pulled a ground wire in the conduit to the panel because
1. He is using raintight couplings insted of set screw type couplings to join the emt.
2. He goes into a PVC Lb before entering into the panel.
He should make sure everything is grounded and bonded to be at the same potential. Using PVC and EMT does not constitute proper bonding.
Essentially your new panel isn't at the same potential as the feeder panel, and any plugs that he runs from the new panel won't actually be grounded.
Just something I noticed.
He is an electrician by trade. As far as the different pieces of conduit, he said he saved me some money by using parts he had laying around. I dunno, hope that kinda answers your questions. I only know very basic electrical.
With that utility room next door, you would have an ideal location for Infinite Baffle sub system. Plus it would save you the room in the actual theater. Think about it.
I'd like to keep as much sound in the HT as possible. I have 2 young kids and would like to be able to watch movies at night. I know the bass will still travel somewhat, but I'd rather now put it in the utility room.
What about sonotube subs? I've been reading about them today.
Told you I don't know squat! I didn't even notice. Now I'll have to investigate tomorrow.
No leaks yet!
Good job on the plumbing. Did you find out about the ground for the panel, dragodrago is correct about that ground. From the pic as far as I could tell the black is definately not the ground. The ground would need to be wired to the area where the white wire is or on the opposite side. Good luck.
Haven't had a chance yet. Hopefully today.
+1 on the concern of no ground in yours , I ran 14 new circuits when I did my whole basement,tapping into existing panel and added a sub panel.
See my pict? Green is ground.
If you don't want to learn basic electrical 101, you need a competent electrician for your safety.
What size wire did he run for 100amp service?
Minimum size wire for a residential feeder is #4 Copper wire, or # 2 Aluminum wire, for hts and neutral. That wire does not look thick enough, hard to tell.
200A panel on LH is my Geothermal/hot H20 seperate panel, panel on RH 200A home, with a transfer sw for back-up generator.
btw, your theatre plans look nice, have fun building it.

Looking at the screen.
Looking back at the rack, fridge, & desk.
Close up of the soffit and the V-clips I used to attach them.
I also had my first big...aww CRAP! My original plan was to have the second row riser span the width of the room. After I put the soffits up I realized that there would not be enough headroom on the side where the isle would go. CRAP!!! So now I don't know what to do. Maybe split the seats and have two together and one by itself, having the aisle down the middle. Anybody have any suggestions. The headroom under the soffits is about 6'7" and I wanted to do a 6-8" riser.
Thats how I see lots of things in theater building. BUT, I can see how some people want to go above and beyond if they have the money.

Gas prices inched lower last week after a barrel of oil traded below $95 for the first time since June.
The value of the dollar increased last week and helped push oil prices below the $95 threshold. In addition, U.S. stockpiles rose another 4 million barrels last week, according to the Energy Information Administration. Last week was the sixth week in a row that the nation's fuel supplies increased.
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.26, 3 cents less than last week.

Disney Storytime and Philips Hue
Buy Now...
Mickey consists of a 13.5cm round face with a Philips Hue bulb fitted behind it in a sealed unit. His ears are plain black rubber and circular at 7cm across.
The rear of the fitting is red and angled top fit on a wall of fitment to be looking down at the child. The DC connection is hard wired into the back with a small inclusion in the base to let the wire track away a push in connector comes after 40cm so it can be disconnected by a parent. The rest of the lead ending in a small power brick is 1.5metres long.
This arrangement also works for a slightly older child as the last 1.5metres of lead can be removed meaning no power goes to Mickeys head.
There are a range of Philips Hue Apps to make the light do various things and as with all Hue lights any colour and intensity is possible so Mickey could also provide a low power night light.
The big link with this is various stories that work on IOS devices and the Hue light is incorporated so that the light changes colours while the stories are being read.
In theory the parent needs no input as the IOS device reads and the child listens and watches Mickey change colour.
As with the original Hue lights which are now available for those with ceiling mounted track lights you need a Bridge unit and this is provided in the Mickey package, the IOS device looks for the Bridge to make the connection.
The Bridge unit is 2cm thick and round at 9cm with power and Ethernet cables supplied to fit in the base of it.
The power lead is 1.5metres long ending in a standard 13amp plug while the supplied Ethernet cable is 1.8metres long.
The Disney Story Books displayed horizontally on my iPod Touch. You get three books – more can be purchased – Tangled Rapunzel's Story. Always Time For A Laught from Monsters Inc. and Starry Night from Toy Story. This in itself is a Free App and you have the option to have the stories read top you or to be able to read them for yourself.
At this point it may be the time to remind you not to let your child have your PIN code or you might find that the reading library is considerably increased as or course will your credit card bill.
This is a nice if somewhat expensive way to get your child's attention as the Mickey light is very clever but as with my original review of the Hue lights they are rather pricey. The free Disney App can be downloaded and tried for Free so you get a chance to see if the stories are suitable but the Mickey head and the light it omits really adds to the experience.
The Philips Hue StoryLight Starter Kit is available for £99.95 from Apple stores.

Hey Yazz! Nice to see you're still having fun at OSDN... great job to everyone on the transition. It's good to know that Themes.org is once again online.
Now I won't have to go load a theme, go watch a movie, and get back in time to see the page load.

OBETZ, Ohio – Dominic Oduro has teamed with some talented scorers in eight MLS seasons across five teams.
That's why the Columbus Crew attacker is happy to have Costa Rican forward Jairo Arrieta on his side, a player whose work rate and physical play reminds him of a former FC Dallas teammate.
"If anyone, I'd have to say he's a little bit like Kenny Cooper," Oduro told MLSsoccer.com on Wednesday. "Kenny wasn't as fast as Jairo but both are able to hold the ball to make that perfect run off them."
It's high praise from Oduro. Cooper, now back with Dallas for a second stint, has 67 goals in 166 career MLS matches, reaching 18 goals in a season with New York in 2012 and Dallas in 2008.
Arrieta, meanwhile, has 10 goals in 25 matches since joining the Crew in July 2012.

Even though Arrieta (5-foot-9, 150 pounds) is considerably smaller than Cooper (6-foot-3, 210), he doesn't mind mixing it up.
"He's mobile but he's strong," Crew defender Gláuber said of the Costa Rica international.
Oduro and Arrieta were reunited in the starting lineup for the first time in five matches last Saturday vs. D.C. United and, along with fellow attacker Federico Higuaín, were lethal in the 3-0 win.
GOAL: Arrieta sets up Oduro for opener
Arrieta set up Oduro for the first goal (right) with a crisp pass from the end line to the center of the box.
It was the type of play coach Robert Warzycha hoped to see from Arrieta after benching him for three matches following his return from national team duty.
"He was making the wrong choices before," Warzycha said. "This game he was very sharp. On that cross, maybe in previous situations he'd dribble it in and then cross it too late. But he didn't this time. He was sharp and made the right choices."

Arrieta also drew a corner kick that led to the second goal by Josh Williams from an Higuain service. Arrieta was on the right flank when he spotted Oduro streaking through the middle. His leading cross was cleared out of bounds by a defender, but was an example of how he and Oduro are starting to read each other's moves.
"We pressured high. We were really connected, close to each other," Arrieta said through a translator. "Hopefully, with more games with the same intensity and same mentality we're going to get better and better. We know each better."
Arrieta also had a part in the final goal when he was tackled in the box and Higuaín converted the penalty kick.
"I tried to help the team anyway I can," Arrieta said. "Obviously I like to score. That's my job. I tried to do it last game. I couldn't but I'm really happy because the performance I had was really good. It was something I was looking for and also it helped the team win."

I'm a little reluctant to post this dinner because, well, it doesn't look pretty. But shouldn't it still be invited to the dance? It has other charms, cross my heart. What it lacks in good looks, it makes up for in inner beauty: Think hearty beef and mushrooms in a creamy sour cream sauce made extra savory with dijon mustard. And it's easy on the pocketbook too. Normally beef stroganoff is made with the most supple cuts of fillet mignon. My Miss Congeniality stroganoff is made from humble stew meat, made lovingly tender by a long simmer. (If you're around the house you can simmer it in on the stovetop; if you'll be away, the crockpot works just as well. ) See, it's a cheap date, fun, and full of tender loving kindness.

My whole family loves lima beans. We can eat them with anything. Stroganoff doesn't sound bad either.
I am so in love with the Tomato soup recipe that I have made it 3 times now! I've used the tomatoes I put up this past summer and it has been wonderful! Thank you so much.

I have been wanting to make a stoganoff soon. This looks great. I may try it in my slow cooker..

- Catherine said...
You're going to give that stroganoff a comples. I'm a vegetarian and I don't think it looks so unattractive! I can't believe your kids ate the lima beans. Maybe I should make the stroganoff just so my kids will eat the lima beans!

So many of the best meals are not very photogenic. We shouldn't exclude them from the party! I've never tried stroganoff with dijon in it; it sounds good!

Prudy, Congratulations!! Woo Hoo!
Today while I was at Borders flipping through a new magazine with Mario Batali on the cover (I forgot the name of it!) I saw that your blog was featured in it. How fantastic for you! Well deserved!

i adore stroganoff-- it was always what i picked for my birthday dinner growing up. my husband doesn't care for it (nor does alli's). so i'm forced to make it when he's out of town or at a business dinner--and to have alli over!

Thanks for the gentle reminder. I actually love blogging, but sometimes my real life gets in the way. And the truth is, I'm not as good about getting up really really early in the winter. I'm glad to know that you've missed my posts and I commit to be better!
- February 11, 2009 at 5:42 AM
- susan said...
For any of you who ever thought it was strange to enjoy your lima beans, you should read this great children's book "A Bad Case of Stripes" by David Shannon. You'll never think twice about downing those humble, creamy green beauties again. BTW, the stroganoff is delish!
- February 16, 2009 at 3:23 PM
- Prudy said...
Thanks Susan. I love that book. Our copy is so ripped up, I think I just might have to go out and get a new one.

Meet the girls!
The Teen Board is the foundation of the Boyfriend Bears Organization. They helped create and develop our Purity is a Battle curriculum and FUN interactive sessions. They are each loved and cherished more than they will ever know!
The Teen Board is the foundation of the Boyfriend Bears Organization. They helped create and develop our Purity is a Battle curriculum and FUN interactive sessions. They are each loved and cherished more than they will ever know!
|Bridget: Hey, I'm Bridget. I like to play three sports: Soccer, Basketball, and Tennis. In my free time I go on runs, go shopping, cook, and go four-wheeling. But my real passion is God. My favorite verse is Romans 12: 2, "Do not conform, any longer, to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve God's will is; his good, pleasing, and perfect will." Boyfriend Bears has really deepened my purity knowledge and my faith. I hope we can encourage YOU in your life of purity.
|Daphnee: My name is Daphnee. My sister chose my name from the movie, Scooby Doo! And, like the character, I too love mysteries and dogs. As for sports, I am a soccer goalie for my high school team and also throw the javelin in track. I enjoy studying God's word, reading, drawing, and being with family and friends. I am very strong in my Christian beliefs, especially purity. One of my favorite verses is 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, check it out! I am on the Teen Board because I believe it is possible to be a virgin and I want to share that with girls around the world! God loves us and wants the best for us – Ephesians 2:3-5 and 2 Corinthians 11:2-3.
|Holly: Hey, girls! My name is Holly and I am so blessed to be a part of the Boyfriend Bears Teen Board. In my spare time I like to bake, shop, and hang out with friends. I usually like school (okay, I guess I only like the social part) and am involved in as many theater productions as possible. A verse that has really helped me over the past couple years is Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Just as Boyfriend Bears has encouraged me in my purity walk, I hope we can do the same for you! :)
|Jenah: Hey, I'm Jenah! I think it's so cool that God has given us this opportunity to encourage girls in their purity. I'm amazed that even though the other girls and I on the Teen Board are only in junior high and high school, God is already using us in awesome ways. I am blessed to have amazing friends who desire to serve God and obey Him no matter where He leads us. I'm so excited to be involved with this ministry because I love hanging out with younger girls and getting to know them better and I'm also passionate about the message of purity. I'm definitely not perfect, but I hope that I can still be a good example of what it means to choose purity in my own life. We don't know yet what God's going to do with Boyfriend Bears but we're excited to follow His lead because He's shown us that He is faithful every step of the way!
|Lauren: Hey, my name is Lauren. I participate in volleyball, fast pitch, and musicals at my school. In my additional free time I enjoy running, four-wheeling, skiing, and being with my awesome friends! This past summer I went on a mission trip to Guadalajara, Mexico and it was an absolute life changing experience. That trip really took my relationship with God to the next level. I'm so excited to see how He will use me in the future and I believe that Boyfriend Bears is a part of that future. God Bless!
|McKenzie: Hey! I'm McKenzie. I'm so glad that you have taken an interest in Boyfriend Bears. I think I should probably tell you about myself – I love my family and my friends. They are amazing people and I love to spend time with them. I could talk about them all for hours but unfortunately, I don't have enough room here to do that. I absolutely love to write, run, and draw. Reading is also pretty cool. If I could live anywhere it would be in a cottage by the ocean. My favorite number is eight. But the most important thing in my life is my relationship with God. I have learned so much about God and myself over the past couple of years. God has definitely led me to Boyfriend Bears for a reason. Purity is so very, very important. My hope is that I can share the amazing truths God has taught me with other girls. All of us have a choice. A choice to lead lives that are pleasing to God. Purity is a very important part of that.
|Brielle: Hey! I'm Brielle. I love Jesus! When I'm not involved with drama or choir, I'm hanging out with my friends or lost in a good book. I'm so happy to be involved with Boyfriend Bears because purity is such an important part of my life.
|Kara: Hey Girls! My name is Kara. I love all sports, but this year will be running cross country and the 800 in track. I also compete competitively in Dressage with my horse. I am so excited to be apart of Boyfriend Bears! It is such an amazing organization that I have learned so much from and I'm so happy you are interested in learning more about it as well. My favorite verse is 1 Timothy 4:12 which says, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.

THE MAKING OF TORO: Bullfights, Broken Hearts, and One Author's Quest for the Acclaim He So Richly Deserves
"My art is my life, and versa vice," proclaims Travis LaFrance, Sundeen's ever-confident, fictional alter-ego, in this amusing, chivalric tongue-in-cheek story of a writer set on acquainting everyday readers with Mexican bullfighting. After receiving little recognition for his previous book on falconry (which, as Sundeen explains, "is about birds only insomuch as the falcons serve as a metaphor for my flight toward freedom"), the author attempts to redeem himself by unveiling bullfighting's rugged, fiery ritual. The motivated yanqui (Spanglish for "Yankee") buys a one-way ticket to Mexico City, expecting to fall in love with the tradition of bullfighting, the captivating beauty of Mexican women and the splendor of one of the most acclaimed capitals of the bullfighting world. Instead, he finds grimy buildings, cybercafes and Domino's Pizza–sponsored bullrings, which look more like circuses than a noble institution's holy ground. But Sundeen refuses to come to terms with a deflated dream. With each misguided attempt to find bullfighting's heart and soul, LaFrance uses a quixotic idealism to convert reality (e.g., an undercooked drumstick served in a dingy corner diner) to what could be (an exotic delicacy, served only to the most esteemed of guests). It's a skewed travelogue, in which the line between a gritty reality and a chimerical fantasy is warmly blurred. Photos. Agent, Richard Abate. (May)
Forecast:Although S&S equates Sundeen to a "failed" Sedaris, Eggers, Franzen or Lethem, the publisher is targeting young, hip, literary men. A blurb from Hunter S. Thompson, a pulp fictionesque cover and positive reviews will get this off to a good start.

Connecting with Teens in a Small Screen World
By John Duffy,
Author of The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens
We are on vacation in Florida with another family. Three young teenagers are on board, my 13-year-old included. A number of times over the past week, I have peered over to see each of their beautiful faces lost in a 3 ½ inch screen: a Nintendo DS, iPhone, iPod Touch, or any other thing i!
One might be texting friends back home, another might be selecting a new song, while yet another is playing the latest downloaded game. There they were in the car last night, screens lighting their faces. There they were on the couch, in front of the giant TV screen! Even in bed, all faces illuminated, eyes entranced.
So how is a parent to counteract the draw of the tiny, sophisticated, intoxicating hand-held plaything?
Well, for one, recognize that if you can't beat them, join them. Whatever it is that is displayed on that tiny screen, your teen is clearly engaged in it. Sit down with her. Have a look at the contraption. Ask what it does — teens love to be teachers. Most importantly, ask what your teen loves so much about it. This is a golden opportunity to connect, to get to know your teen better.
And you might want to write her a clever text once in a while: "How are you?" "What are you doing/listening to right now?" I worked recently with a father who took to writing his daughter an "I love you" text every day. He called me with glee the day he got one back.
You need to know that texting is the preferred mode of communication for many teens, whether we adults want that to be the case, or not.
Also, recognize your own addiction to the tiny screen. What I did not mention above is the myriad opportunity I have had to see adult faces lit up by an iPhone in the past several days. We serve as the strongest role models for our teens. Our screen time is seen as latent permission for their own.
Finally, you might want to engage your teen in a different way. For instance, my wife Julie and I designated yesterday's lunch as a "No Screen Zone." We engaged our teenagers in conversation. We talked about music, movies and politics. It was fun, and everyone was engaged and participating.
So make sure you protect some time together where all screens go dark.
Dr. John Duffy, author of The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens, is a highly sought-after clinical psychologist, certified life coach, parenting expert, and proud parent. He has been working with teens, tweens, and their families for more than fifteen years. For more information please visit http://www.drjohnduffy.

The name "Woman in Comfortable Shoes" should probably be renamed to Man in Ballet Slippers Walking on Big Toe. Potato chip crimps and toe nubbins on a dike make this the hardest 10a ever. This and Xenolith Dance were both some very difficult slab climbing especially for a 10 grade. Be wary...
Also, make sure to read the postings at the campground. The area above Bellygood Ledge is closed until August due to nesting Falcons.

Elizabeth M. Anderson, 93, of Princeton, formerly of Cambridge, passed away Monday, February 18, 2013 at the Elim Home in Princeton.
She was born April 19, 1919 in Wyanett Township, Minnesota the oldest of six children to C. Albert and Lydia (Pearson) Anderson. Liz graduated from Princeton High School in 1938 and went on to the Free Church Bible Institute (the forerunner of Trinity) from 1939-1941.
She worked in Colorado Mountains teaching children and was sponsored by a group so she could earn enough money for nursing school. With that and other donations from Christians, Liz was able to start at the Swedish Hospital School of Nursing, starting in 1941 and graduating in 1944. Elizabeth was able to raise support from the National Women's Missionary Society to send her on her life-long dream of being a missionary. At that time she chose as her life verse Ephesians 3:20-21 "He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." After finishing raising her support, she was able to leave on May 22, 1946 for the mission field. Liz started out as an RN in 1946, working at the Tandala Clinic, then known as the Belgian Congo. She ran a dispensary on the station and later moved into evangelism, women's work and literature work. In 1961 she was joined by Canadian missionary Leeta Thornton and they traveled Ubangi together in a pickup truck with a camper, living out of it for weeks at a time. Liz also wrote booklets in Lingala and published them. She also wrote, translated and taught Emmaus African correspondence courses and ran that program for many years. Liz was the primary Lingala language teacher for many of the new missionaries. She officially served 31 years in Congo and then returned to Cambridge in 1977 to care for her aging mother. Leeta returned with her and they continued to write books and pamphlets in Lingala, print them and ship them overseas.
Liz and Leeta moved into the Caley house in Princeton in 1998. Leeta passed away in December 2006. Elizabeth continued to live in the Caley House until 2011 when she moved to the Elim Home.
Known as "Mama Elizabeti" by the Africans, she was deeply revered and respected. She will also be remembered by her family and friends for her love of the Lord and her peaceful spirit. She was loved by many and a strong witness to those who the Lord placed in her path. She is survived by her sister Doris Anderson of Minneapolis, brother Vernon (Phyllis) Anderson of Rockford, Ill., as well as numerous nieces, nephews other relatives and friends.
Funeral Services were Saturday, February 23, 2013 at Wyanett Evangelical Free Church with Rev. Bruce Talso officiating. Harley and Yvonne Olson sang "Face to Face," "My Savior First of All" and "Safe in The Arms of Jesus." Interment was in the Wyanett Free Cemetery. Memorials are preferred to Reach Global or Wyanett Evangelical Free Church. Arrangements were with the Carlson-Lillemoen Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Cambridge.

How to prevent wrinkles, lose weight the natural way
It really pays to be informed. While we cannot pretend to know it all, having an inquisitive and open mind allows us to be better equipped to make decisions about our own bodies' health and disposition of mind.
Nature offers a powerhouse of nutrients. And if we turn to what is natural, there isn't any reason why we cannot live longer and look better.
Skin damage
Q: How can I prevent and/or erase wrinkles?
The skin is often referred to as your first defense. And because it is in the line of fire, it acts like a shock absorber. But after all the wear and tear, all the pulling and rubbing, the laughter and the crying, plus exposure to the elements as well as stress, the skin begins to show signs of having undergone several battles.
If only we could get brand-new skin! Most dermatologists agree on one thing: the best skin-saving advice is to stay away from the sun. Sun exposure damages the skin. So here are some skin-saving tips:
1) Get out of the sun whenever possible.
2) Drink loads of water. Challenge yourself to 12-15 glasses daily. Some people complain that they feel like choking after drinking so much water. It's all in the mind. Sip it slowly.
3) Increase vitamin C intake from 1,000-3,000 daily. Vitamin C is essential to collagen formation. Drink up on citrus fruit juices—oranges, limes, lemons.
4) Minimize alcohol. Too much alcohol dehydrates you.
5) Apply vitamin E oil directly on the skin, especially after sun exposure. Yes, you can puncture the Vitamin E capsule and use the oil sparingly.
Diet rules
Q: Please help me lose weight the natural way. All the diets I have tried have failed me.
If diets have uniformly failed you, look for the common denominator. Perhaps, they've been too drastic and unreal, or you didn't take them seriously.
Here's my own story. Through the years I have discovered that if I want to lose a few pounds, there are a few rules I need to follow:
1. Midnight snacking is a no-no. If you're truly hungry, eat a low-calorie food like apples, kiwi, singkamas (sweet turnips). But never anything sweet like cakes and pastries, chocolates, ice cream. These are best eaten during the day and only after meals. In short, do not make any dessert your main meal or snack.
2. Go vegetarian if you need to lose weight in 30 days. It works. And if you want to speed it up, go on a raw food diet. That's right. Nothing cooked.
3. Exercise daily, at least 30-45 minutes of any cardiovascular exercise regimen.
4. Take chromium picolenate, a supplemental form of chromium, a mineral which helps increase lean tissue and reduce fat. But this is only effective if you exercise.
A daily dose of 50-200 micrograms should be enough. Natural sources are black pepper, cheese, whole-grain cereals and brewer's yeast. So, this is good news for cheese lovers. With one precaution—try not to finish the whole cheese platter!
5. Take zinc, 15-30 mg daily. This is recommended for people on low-calorie diets. This also addresses hair loss, brittle nails and bleeding gums. Best taken with copper. Remember: 1 mg of copper for every 10 mg of zinc. Natural sources are seafood, nuts.
6. Magnesium supplements improve the efficiency of the heart. Take 400 mg daily, but best to consult your doctor first. Natural sources are seafood, green vegetables, low-fat dairy products.
7. The most common ailment of dieters is borderline anemia due to iron deficiency. Symptoms include heart palpitations, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath. To get iron from natural sources, go for tofu, soybeans, bitter gourd (ampalaya), moringa olifera (malunggay).
8. Load up on calcium, at least 1,500 mg daily (especially if you have menopaused). Natural sources are dairy, green leafy vegetables, nuts.
Liver regimen
Q: Can you suggest any anti-fat liver regimen?
The good news is that it's never too late. At the Harvard School of Public Health, men who consumed 100 international units of vitamin E daily for two years showed a reduced risk of heart disease by an impressive 37 percent. In a similar study on 87,000 nurses, the results were the same.
Betacarotene, the nutrient that gives carrots their orange color, is considered by many health experts a champion in fighting heart disease and boosting the immune system. So eat lots of carrots.
Another way is to remove the fats from your diet. Say no to fried food.
Take this liver tonic:
Super Liver
3 sugar beets
2 carrots
1 singkamas
Juice and drink up.
Don't panic if your trip to the toilet leaves a radish color after you're through. That's not blood, it's the sugar beets.
