While causing chaos in Megaton, I came across several aspects of the game that make it easier to be nasty. Though you can get in a pinch if you don't save often, I found that there's always a way out of the mess you create in cities. Cause as much havoc as you like, get the sheriff and every citizen chasing you with guns ablaze, and you can pop outside of the town of Megaton and they won't follow you. Wait 24 hours and go back in and the townsfolk will have forgiven (or forgotten) your deeds. This may not be realistic, but if you go on a little killing spree for fun, you can still salvage your game in the long run.
As fun as the chaos was, Megaton had to go in the end. You get to do this from the comfort of Tenpenny Tower, a luxury complex filled with snobs and jerks -- just my character's cup of tea. Turns out the job was commissioned just because somebody didn't like the town messing up his view. As a reward, you get a suite in the tower of your own that you can decorate, improve and use to customize your character's look. I went with a balding comb-over and a thick mustache. It went well with the pajamas that I was wearing around.
Next it was back to the ruins of Megaton. The lady looking to complete an encyclopedia somehow survived the blast. She was out researching something and missed the epicenter, but didn't make it out unharmed. She asked for some help and I told her that her face was melting off. This didn't please, nor should it. She had turned into a ghoul -- people so ruined by radiation that their bodies and minds are falling apart. The folks at Tenpenny Tower don't like ghouls, so I looked for every underground tunnel to hunt them down and shoot their melty faces off.
At this point, I thought I was pretty bad ass. I was about to learn that murder, lying, and wiping out cities wasn't enough to prepare me for what was to come. I came across a town named Andale. All of the folks touted it as the greatest city on earth. It was almost too happy. It turned out the city had a dark secret. Ask around and you can hear hints of an inbred population. Do some more exploring and you'll find something that made my stomach turn. I'll let you figure that one out for yourself.
If being evil isn't your cup of tea, you can always be neutral. Bethesda tells us there are specific benefits built into the game for taking that route as well. You probably just won't get to see as many heads explode. Your loss.
Check back tomorrow for the conclusion of Fallout 3 week at IGN for our impressions of the whole shebang in our preview finale.

Fathers of Holiness and (Divine) Mercy
Editorial on Sts. John Paul II and John XXIII
BY The Editors
April 20-May 3, 2014 Issue | Posted 4/27/14 at 6:01 AM
In 1981, when Pope John Paul II awoke in the intensive care unit, following life-saving surgery for gunshot wounds he sustained during an assassination attempt, he asked his secretary, "Have you said Compline?"
Even in the ICU, Karol Wojtyla adhered to his practice of closing the day with the Liturgy of the Hours. Indeed, his subsequent decision to visit his would-be assassin in prison to offer forgiveness provided further evidence of his disciplined prayer life and desire to do the Father's will.
Sanctity, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, is defined as the fruit of divine action and of the soul placing God at the beginning and the end of life. Aquinas wrote that holiness is marked by a spiritual detachment that nurtures the free contemplation of truth and by a stability of practice that feeds the soul's desire to serve God in all things.
On April 27, Divine Mercy Sunday, John Paul II and John XXIII will be canonized by Pope Francis.
The lives of both saints have enriched our own understanding of sanctity as a radical and deeply personal testament of God's mercy in a broken world.
Though less well known to many 21st-century Catholics, John XXIII also forged a path to holiness marked by an ordered life of prayer and a humble dependence on God in all things. His published diary, Journal of a Soul, presents the simple principles that shaped his life as a priest, diplomat and pope. "Entrust myself at all times to Divine Providence," and "Always acknowledge my own nothingness" are among the precepts that guided his spiritual progress from his teenage years in a junior seminary.
Karol Wojtyla and Angelo Roncalli were cradle Catholics, raised in the faith during the same century and on the same continent, yet their beliefs and their desire for virtue would be tested in starkly different ways.
Roncalli grew up in Italy, one of 14 children raised in a peasant family. He served in the Italian military during the First World War and later advanced through the Holy See's diplomatic corps before he was made a cardinal in 1953.
Karol Wojtyla was the youngest of three children fathered by a retired Army officer and a devout Catholic in Wadowice, Poland. By the time Karol was 20, he had lost every member of his family. He would narrowly evade arrest by the Nazis while studying at an underground seminary, and he later dueled with the Soviet-backed Polish government and secret police during his years as the cardinal-archbishop of Krakow.
Amid an age dispirited by man-made calamities and skeptical of God's providence, each man lived the gift of spiritual paternity with the unique grace and solitude of the Vicar of Christ.
"The whole world is my family. This sense of belonging to everyone must give character and vigor to my mind, my heart and my actions," John XXII wrote in a 1959 journal entry. Breaking the pattern of his predecessors, who had rarely strayed from the Vatican, he visited a local prison and hospital during his pontificate.
Karol Wojtyla, the man who mourned his father's passing for the whole of his adult life, brought the Father's love to the "Altar of the World," as one museum exhibit described his pontificate, which straddled the globe.
George Weigel, the author of two biographies on John Paul II, has drawn attention to his subject's "remarkable capacity to embody the key traits of fatherhood (strength and mercy) in a world bereft of true fathers. That he also communicated, through that paternity, the reality of a transcendent order in which we participate and which breaks into our mundane reality at surprising moments of grace simply added to the attraction of the man."
Both men embraced the mercy of the Father as a centerpiece of their legacy. And they emphasized that this mercy, affirmed throughout salvation history, could not be separated from the Father's saving truth — countering modern efforts to sever the Gospel from social and political campaigns that redefined the terms of justice and forgiveness.
John XXIII presented the Second Vatican Council as an expression of the mercy of God. In his opening address, he insisted, "The greatest concern of the ecumenical council is this: that the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be guarded and taught more efficaciously. That doctrine embraces the whole of man, composed as he is of body and soul. And, since he is a pilgrim on this earth, it commands him to tend always toward heaven."
John Paul II, in his encyclical Dives in Misericordia (Divine Mercy), warned that the modern world increasingly exhibited a distain for the mercy of God, revealed "in Christ and through Christ." He found that the world was searching for its own response to the reality of human weakness and failure, and that path departed from the way of the cross, from the authority of the Creator, the "Father of Mercies." Yet he found hope in the concurrent movement within the Church that celebrated the mercy of God amid the ashes of two world wars.
"The truth, revealed in Christ, about God, the 'Father of mercies,' enables us to 'see' him as particularly close to man, especially when man is suffering, when he is under threat at the very heart of his existence and dignity. And this is why, in the situation of the Church and the world today, many individuals and groups guided by a lively sense of faith are turning, I would say almost spontaneously, to the mercy of God. They are certainly being moved to do this by Christ himself, who, through his Spirit, works within human hearts."
Christ made himself a "slave" and died on the cross for the salvation of the world. John XXIII and John Paul II both ruled as the Supreme Roman Pontiff, but each man's spiritual paternity sprung from a denial of self and a hunger for God and his will.
The path to mercy is the hard road of the cross. Cheap substitutions, including euthanasia and abortion, cannot bring healing or inspire a conversion of heart.
As the Church celebrates the canonization of two popes and marks the feast of Divine Mercy, Catholics across the world come face-to-face with the truth that sanctity itself is a message of hope, inspiring the faithful to advance in their own journeys to eternal life with the Father of Mercies.

Have you ever researched a conference, got excited about the speakers and the content, then looked at the price?
That can be disappointing. As awesome as national conferences can be, they are also limiting when it comes to taking a team of volunteers.
The Illuminate Conference is the brainchild of Kenny Conley, the Next Generation Pastor at Gateway Church in Austin, Texas. Kenny's heartbeat is to equip volunteers and make quality training available for the people who are on the front lines of kidmin.
This past week I had the opportunity to attend the first illuminate of 2013 in Birmingham, Alabama. It was such an awesome time of learning with Sue Miller as the keynote speaker and incredible breakouts from Jonathan Cliff, Cass Brannon, Dan Scott and more.
The conference is designed for volunteers in content, but also in logistics. The conference runs on Saturday from 9-4:30, allowing volunteers to attend without missing work. The cost is only $30 which can allow children's ministries to bring their teams or for volunteers to attend on their own.
There is something extremely energizing about worshiping in a roomful of volunteers who are passionate about reaching children.
Illuminate is coming to four more cities this year. If you live anywhere close to Austin, Nashville, Memphis or Ft. Lauderdale, check out the website to see if this conference would be a good fit for you and your team. You can also follow their fan page on Facebook.

When it comes to moving, the first thing that likely comes to mind is a cross-town transition that will probably require you to hire a moving company for a few hours (or at least convince a couple of friends to take pity on you). What isn't a typical type of move for most people? Relocating to another city or state entirely.
Often, when a person's job wants to move him or her to a different city, it can be a major source of stress. You're on your boss's timetable. Plus, you have to worry about finding a place to live in time for the move, packing all of your belongings, and not being a stressed-out mess when you meet your new co-workers. It can be tough, but if you're smart about it, relocating doesn't have to be a difficult process. That said, here are a few apartment-hunting tips to keep in mind when you're relocating to a new city:
Know What You're Looking For
Any time you start a search for apartments, you should decide exactly what you're looking for. Are you trying to find a one-bedroom? A studio? Do you need it to be pet-friendly? What's the maximum you can pay for rent each month?
The better prepared you are with the answers to these questions, the easier you'll find the apartment-hunting process to be. It's simple: When you aren't specific, you'll look at a much wider variety of apartments, most of which may not exactly be right for you.
Depend on the Web
So, you know what you're searching for, but how exactly do you look for it when you live in another city or state? Use apartment-hunting websites, like Rent.com, that allow you to choose specific filters that can narrow your selection for you.
As you start to look for apartments, you'll also want to use the Web for research. Look into what each neighborhood is like in your new city. See what people are saying in forums and on blogs about where you'll be able to find the most affordable rent or which areas are the most active. You'll be surprised at how much information you can glean just from the Internet alone.
Get to Know the Local Market
As part of your long-distance apartment search, you'll also want to research what the rental market is like where you're headed. How competitive is it? Is negotiating an option? How quickly do you have to apply if you find a place you love? The more you know, the more prepared you'll be when you start looking at listings.
Talk to Locals
When it comes to things like understanding the rental market or getting to know the neighborhoods, the Internet isn't your only option for research. In fact, the more you can talk to people who live in the city, the more realistic your view will be.
If you have friends, relatives, or acquaintances who already live there, ask as many questions as you can. Even if the only person you know is your dad's second cousin's best friend from childhood, take advantage of that connection to learn as much as you can from a local.
Check With Your Work
When your job is responsible for your relocation, your boss or human resources managers should expect you to use them as resources. Unless you're opening a brand new office in the city you're moving to, there are likely already people in the location who are familiar with the area and can help you apartment hunt.
In fact, check with your work about all aspects of the move, from hunting for an apartment to hiring a moving company – if management asked you to move, it should at least provide you with some financial assistance.
Try to Make an In-Person Visit
If at all possible, see if your company will pay for you to make a quick trip to the new city before your move. While there, you can set up apartment viewings, meet your future co-workers, and get a better idea of what to expect.
Seeing apartments in person is vital for making sure you aren't getting scammed or taken advantage of. If your company won't help you visit, at least see if someone who works there can go on apartment visits for you, make sure the units are safe, take plenty of pictures, and test out all of the fixtures and appliances.
Opt for Short-Term Options
If you're relocating somewhere you don't know much about, a short-term sublet is the perfect way to move to the city without making a long-term commitment to an apartment or neighborhood you don't end up liking.
Plus, if you can find people who are trying to sublet a single room in their apartment, your future roommates could help you navigate your new city and even become your first friends in town.
The most important rule of relocating: Stay calm. Ask your company for help when you need it, and remember that the stress will all be over soon. Have fun exploring your new home!

Brimstone (Compact Disc)
Random House Audio, 9780739382950, 4pp.
Publication Date: June 2, 2009
When we last saw Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole, they had just put things to right in the rough-and-tumble Old West town of Resolution. It's now a year later, and Virgil has only one thing on his mind: Allie French, the woman who stole his heart during their days in Appaloosa.
Making their way across New Mexico and Texas, the pair finally locate Allie in a small-town brothel, her body and spirit crushed. Together the three head north to start over in Brimstone. But things are no longer the same between Virgil and Allie; too much has happened, and Virgil can't face what Allie did to get by during the year they were apart. Allie vows to change, and seeks redemption through the local church and its charismatic leader, Brother Percival. Allie is not alone in her devotion to the hellfire-and-damnation spouting minister, whose sermons have enthralled the townspeople. Percival is quick with the collection plate–and quick to want Allie for his own. Everett and Virgil easily secure positions as the town's deputies, thanks to their gun-for-hire reputations. Their authority is immediately challenged when Brother Percival stirs up trouble at local saloons. Violence escalates into murder as Virgil and Everett struggle to keep the peace–and keep Allie from harm's way.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The room was a corner room with a balcony overlooking the water. The room was bright and cheery. Loved the hardwood floors. Once we got there, we didn't need the car again until we left. The shuttle into Charleston was great. Pools, restaurants and bars are all onsite. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Hotel in Historic District
The Planters Inn is absolutely beautiful. The lady who greeted us at check in was very nice and thorough but she did not offer any extra information about the city. Later that evening when we asked about transportation for the next day the young man at the desk was not at all helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and our server was the best!!! She even gave us an extra treat to enjoy for our anniversary. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We would recommend this hotel.

Community Connections: Boys & Girls Club meeting critical need
June 14, 2014
The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Colorado is to enable and inspire the youth of Northwest Colorado to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
I always enjoy the surprise on the faces of first-time visitors to the Boys & Girls Club. Nearly every person has the same response, "I had no idea!"
Take a look inside a club, and you'll be impressed by the concentration in homework help or moved by the creations underway in the art room.
The high level of energy and sportsmanship in the gymnasium will inspire you, and the demonstrations of leadership across the age groups will prove there is hope for the future. I am sure the overall happiness, graciousness and respect that make up the club environment also will please you.
Club programs are designed to unlock the personal best of every child who passes through our doors.
We strive every day to help the young people of Northwest Colorado reach their full potential in academics, athletics, arts, leadership, healthy life styles and more.

We are open when kids and families need us most, the after-school hours, school breaks and summer vacation from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Inside the club, kids are becoming better people, better members of the community, our future citizens, labor force and leaders. Through this dedication, great futures start here.
We are meeting a critical need in Steamboat Springs.
In 2013, the Steamboat club served more than 750 members or more than 50 percent of Steamboat's youths ages 6 to 14.
The club has served nearly 1,700 members since inception in 2009 with an average daily attendance of 100 kids after school and 135 in the summer.
The Boys & Girls Club is a fun, low cost, flexible, drop-in program for youths. The annual membership fee is $25, the after-school program is free and school in-service days and summer program costs $1 per hour.
The club's summer program kicks off Monday with a calendar full of fun activities and enriching opportunities. We have great field trips, teens-only programs, Olympic Day, learn to golf program and summer learning activities planned.
I know the multitude of activities will keep even the busiest kid happy and engaged throughout the summer.
Call the club at 970-871-3160 to learn more about the great things happening this summer.
If you have not visited the club, I hope you will call and schedule a tour. Come take a look inside where donations are being invested; where families are supported; and where children's lives are being enriched. Call me to arrange a visit or ask any questions. I am sure you will say, "I had no idea!"

Schulz's Recycling Inc., which has been in business since 1958, has opened a facility in Wausau, Wis., its second scrap metal location. The company says it will use the Wausau location as a retail business feeder yard for the company's full-service operation in Merrill, Wis.
Jeff Isroff, who purchased a majority stake in Schulz Recycling two years ago, says the company believes the population in Marathon County, Wis., warrants a new facility that can service the recycling needs of the city. "We felt that we could benefit from having a retail scrap operation in Wausau," Isroff says. "We are the only recycler in the city."
The company officially opened the new facility in late March of 2013. Isroff says Schulz's Recycling will focus on servicing the retail business in the area. Initially it will not perform any processing at the Wausau location, instead sending material to Merrill to be processed. However, depending on the success of the new location, Isroff says the company may consider adding equipment later.
The building where Schulz has opened its second location is 23,000 square feet and sits on an 11-acre lot. While the company currently is leasing half the building, Isroff says the company could expand to take over the whole building in the future if business conditions dictate it.

Raleigh, N.C. – As we're finding in our polling across the country right now voters in Iowa are moving more and more in support of gay marriage to the point where they're now almost evenly divided on the issue. 44% of voters think it should be legal, while 45% believe it should be illegal. That represents a six point shift on the margin from when we polled the state in October and found 41% of voters supportive and 48% opposed.
Gay marriage has been legal for a few years in Iowa now and 62% of voters say that it's had no impact on their lives one way or the other. 24% claim it's had a negative effect while 14% say it's a positive thing. We've never found a very significant portion of voters in a state that has gay marriage say it's had a bad effect on them.
71% of voters support either gay marriage or civil unions with only 27% opposed to any sort of legal recognition for same sex couples. Even Republicans support some kind of legal recognition by a 52/45 margin.
2014 is a long way off but for now it looks like the race for Governor could be a dog fight. Voters in the state are evenly divided on Terry Branstad's job performance with 43% approving and an equal 43% disapproving of him. Branstad would find himself with small lead over 2010 opponent Chet Culver (44-42) or Congressman Bruce Braley (44-40). In a clash of the titans between Branstad and his original successor, Tom Vilsack, the Democrat would have the edge by a 46-43 margin. Vilsack has a 45/35 favorability rating six years after leaving office.
Tom Harkin's in a little better shape than Branstad if he decides to run again. He would have a 9 point lead over Congressman Tom Latham (46-37) and an 11 point advantage over Congressman Steve King (48-37). Latham is unknown to a majority of voters in the state while King is unpopular, sporting a 25/38 favorability rating. If Branstad tried to trade up from Governor to the Senate, he would trail Harkin 46-41.
PPP surveyed 1,181 Iowa voters between May 3rd and 6th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-2.85%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization.

Discipline doubtful for Hochuli
Published: September 15th, 2008 | Tags: Add new tag, Ed Hochuli
While appearing on a radio show this morning in Denver, an interesting question was posed from a fan in San Diego.
He wanted to know if referee Ed Hochuli would be fined or suspended for his blown call during Denver's dramatic 39-38 victory over San Diego.
Upon further review, here is the determination: There is no disclipline — i.e., fine or suspension — unless an official does not know a rule or misapplies a rule. In this case, Hochuli did not do that. He simply missed the call.

Thoron-meso-tartaric acid system for determination of thorium
Analytical Chemistry

- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractIn the spectrophotometric determination of thorium with thoron, mesotartaric acid is used as a masking reagent for zirconium. The effects of different experimental variables such as the concentrations of the reagents, time, and temperature, and the behavior of 35 ions which might be present in thorium ores are discussed. A dilution procedure is given for the direct determination of thorium in zircon (ZrSiO4) that is also generally applicable to other materials.

Re: Arctic drilling may reduce U.S. gas prices |June 26, guest column
Republicans have blighted economy
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, as a longtime Republican turned independent, you blaming Democrats for the Republicans' lack of leadership on energy policy over the past 7 1/2 years is ridiculous. The two good old oil boys occupying the White House those 7 1/2 years have pushed and defended tax breaks for "Big Oil" time and time again, while showing little or no interest in promoting alternative sources of energy.
The Republicans have failed in so many ways without an energy policy. The big players within the Republican Party believed the free markets would solve any energy problem; they didn't. They wouldn't even let California experiment with more stringent requirements on auto mileage and clean air.
By action or inaction, the Republican leadership on economic policy over the past 25 years has brought great, and probably irreversible, damage to the American people. From the American Revolution, through recessions, depressions, wars and world wars, the national debt was about $1-trillion when Ronald Reagan took office. With Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich promoting "supply side" or "trickle down" economics — all voodoo economics — they managed to triple the national debt to $3-trillion in eight years when Reagan left office. Under Reagan, George Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., debt is now approaching $10-trillion. I'm no fan of former President Bill Clinton, but the debt changed relatively little during his eight years in office.
Americans keep falling for the same old Republican story on taxes and economics, and their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are going to pay the price. They may already be paying the price.
The right-wing neocons in the Republican Party believe in totally free markets, free from rules, regulations and government oversight. This has brought the American people the home savings-and-loan debacle, Enron-type failures, the recent collapse of the real estate market, and many other failures within our economic system. The Republicans forget that greed, unchecked and unguarded, will always lead to failure. We can argue where to draw the line on regulation.
The remnants of the Reagan, Gingrich and Tom Delay right-wing ideology still permeate the Republican Party. That ideology is sick, stale and unchristian. Hopefully, the moderate Republicans will regain control of the party someday.

Subject: Concrete is the road to sprawl | June 30 guest column
Floridians should decide land's use
Thank you for printing Lesley Blackner's commentary. Ms. Blackner is a Florida hero for bringing Florida Hometown Democracy, along with co-founder Ross Burnaman, within a hairbreadth of the November 2008 ballot.
Florida's growth model is bankrupt. It is etched in failed subdivisions and massive foreclosure rates. Indeed, our national economic troubles can be tied directly to the free-wheeling proliferation of debt and spending by the so-called party of fiscal conservatism, whose members are the strongest opponents of giving people the right to vote on the future shape of our communities.
There is nothing fiscally conservative about the way the building boom wrecked so much of Florida's landscape. It is time for Floridians to regain control of our future by giving people the right to vote on changes to comprehensive land use plans.
This is a titanic struggle, and the Growth Machine has pledged to spend whatever it takes to maintain its privileges and prerogatives. Indeed, there is a whole army of lobbyists, consultants and engineers who would have little to do or money to make if control of growth management amendments is given to popular vote, and not to the local cabals that constitute the majority of county commissions throughout the state.
I give the Times full credit for allowing Ms. Blackner's unvarnished view to be printed. More newspapers should follow the Times' example.

WEEKI WACHEE — Under a canopy of oak trees, Linda Charbeaux took a much-needed breather and dove into a bowl of swamp cabbage soup she had just bought.
Charbeaux, who hails from Illinois, had never tasted the concoction that has become synonymous with the Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest. But when she passed by a food booth Saturday set up by Brian's Place she was curious. When proprietor Bob Alvarez reeled off the ingredients of the dish, which contained hearts of palm, onions and his own special addition, chorizo sausage, she decided to take a chance.
"It kind of reminds me of the cabbage soup my mother used to make, but with a little more of a kick," she said after a couple of spoonfuls. "I'm glad I tried it."
The festival, which continues today at Linda Peterson Park in Weeki Wachee, is a amalgam of the kinds of activities people enjoy doing on warm, sunny spring day — hunt for crafts, sample good food and listen to a little music.
"It's a laid-back event where people just like to mingle," said Bill Dickerson a Homosassa vendor and creator of nautical motif items he hoped would catch the eye of passersby. A favorite was his "porta bar" made from a wooden ironing board with hand-painted palm trees, parrots and a slogan proclaiming "it's 5 o'clock somewhere."
The festival, which is sponsored by the Weeki Wachee Area Club, drew hundreds of visitors in its first hour, which quickly forced organizers to open remote parking lots.
"It's one of my favorite things to do every year," said Spring Hill resident Lois Deerfield, visiting a booth selling glass jewelry. "I have to watch myself or I'll end up spending too much money."
Festival arts and craft chairwoman said that despite the economic downturn all 150 vendor spaces were rented out for this year's event.
"We have them from all over the country," she said. "If they have a good product that people want they'll make money."
James Sadler, an entrepreneur from Brooksville selling a homemade novelty instrument called a "canjo," was hoping that would be true.
"This is my bread and butter right now," he said.

We know what the brooch pin is, but we still don't know if it has any other special significance. Check it out. http://www.don-guitar.com/mysterypin.html I had some expensive sound equipment fail Wednesday evening and spent most of Thursday scrounging spare gear to use this evening, or, since it's after 3 AM Saturday morning I guess should have said yesterday evening but the gig was from 9:00 PM Friday evening to 1:00 AM Saturday morning so it still feels like 'this evening' to me. Anyway, my scrounging failed me and I wasn't able to get started before 9:20 due to equipment problems but there's good news. I discovered that my 'equipment failure' was a loose AC power cord rather than a component failure. Seems like the our lives have been 'good news/bad news' for weeks now but the good news has mostly been real good while the bad news wasn't so bad after all. I'm still working on my home recording studio but decided to try a Linux distribution which comes on a DVD but I can't seem to download a clean copy of the ISO file for a DVD. Every time I try to download a file larger than the ISO file for a CD (about 700 MB whereas the ISO file for a DVD is twice that size or larger) I get a corrupt, unusable copy so I bought a guaranteed copy from osdisk.com and am 'treading water' waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

We've been having lots of work opportunities and fun, and no particular problems that can't be addressed. I decided that most of my old clothes simply 'won't do' as they've been sitting in my over-stuffed closets for years without being worn. We went on a Thrift Store Expedition and it seemed as though all the clothes that fit me and looked fabulous had been sitting there waiting for me. We found a nice shirt and a couple of pairs of new-looking jeans for Don, too. His haul for the day was a used JBL Powered Subwoofer (worth almost $200 on eBay) for $15 (and it really works too!). He had insisted we go shopping for me and I admired his fortitude, but that really made it up to him for his patience. Life is good, Love is wonderful.

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court Monday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to fill vacancies in the state Human Rights Commission within a month.
A bench of Chief Justice Shiva Kirti Singh and Justice D.K. Upadhyay gave the direction while hearing a public interest litigation filed by activist Nutan Thakur.
The state commission is without a chairman and two members.
The court, however, refused to hear Thakur's other prayer that to avoid vacancies in future, the appointment process shall begin six months before the end of terms of the members, and the persons be chosen three months beforehand. The court said this was a policy matter.
The petition stated that the term of the chairman, H.K. Sema, ended in May while that of members Vishnu Sahai and Asha Tiwari ended in December 2012 and in June.

How To Nurture Yourself
We all go through times when we feel low and depleted and there's nobody there to comfort us. Or maybe there is somebody who is usually available, but is exhausted and stressed out herself.
Sometimes the depletion is chronic and our psychological makeup resembles a bottomless pit of needs and wants, and no person, no situation is ever going to make up for the deep emptiness we feel.
Some people can get very clingy. They feel that their partner should make up for what might be rooted in a long history of deprivation and instability. Because it's hard to trust, one or two people become the support system for an overwhelmed mind, and at the end of the day, there is not enough to give and never enough to be had.
Very often, symptoms like depression or anger are simply an expression of an underlying need that was never sufficiently attended to. The basic human desire to be loved and cared for is being buried under a layer of defensiveness and withdrawal.
I have been reading Tsultrim Allione's book Feeding Your Demons1. It describes a fascinating tool which helps us to resort to our own resources when our needs become too much to handle. The word demons is not to be taken literally, but it is rather meant as a metaphor for the feelings and memories that haunt us.
The technique she describes is based on inviting the feelings we'd rather get rid of in. If you are a jealous person, sit down with your jealousy. Give it a imaginative, "demon-like" persona. Maybe it's an angry, powerful figure with groping hands and an insatiable appetite. Ask him what he wants. What he needs. And what would happen if he were to receive what he wanted.
Attending to the needs of our "demons" automatically makes them calmer. They turn from ugly, uncontrollable creatures into quiet, somewhat mellow and eventually supportive phenomena. If we pay enough attention, we can even make them into allies. The hyena of jealousy might turn into an elegant greyhound if we take enough time to try and understand what the need behind the possessiveness is.
And doesn't the association with the image of the greyhound automatically give us a certain dignity and pride that leads us away from our neediness, and focuses our energy back onto the basic goodness of our nature?
All it takes is the courage to face what haunts us. In the end, we will come out all right.

|You can easily and quickly decend using 3 rappels starting from the slung tree at Bob's Knob as shown on picture, or rappel-scramble-rappel. The birch tree at bottom of Bob's Knob rappel is dead, a small but sturdy fir tree now has a rappel ring on it for second rappel, (at this point you can do an ugly scramble down to the next rappel point if desired), 60 meter rope reaches.Third rappel is an easy to find slung tree after a short walk down from end of second rappel. The final rappel takes you to the final walk down next to a stream (waterfall)

|I think my "old way" of rapping off with just two-single-rope raps is still there: The first rap is as shown on the photo from the end of the 5th pitch of Bob's Knob std. to the bush/terrace. Now, walk/scramble through bushes about 75-85 ft angled to the left facing out. You SHOULD come to a cedar (or pine?) tree with an old sling and anchor. (In the photo, this would be at the level of the word "Hidden", and to the left of the "H".) For about 10-12 ft beyond the tree there is low-angle slab and then a sudden, steep drop off. If you're in the correct place, this is a one-rope rap to the level of the path down the gully. R. Hall
