Pakistan needs to improve a lot of items in its inventory of Army,Air Force and Navy.
The major items required in Army is a formidable MRAP which not only has good protection but awesome firepower too. Best available protection gear and NVG's etc for all regular and paramilitary troops.Guided munition rounds for artillery. Transport helis for rapid deployment in troubled areas.
The Army needs a dedicated aircraft like A-10,Su-25 in its aviation squadrons to stop depending on air force to provide air cover and major air attacks. An aircraft which has good payload, great loiter time and good avionics for its timeline. A-5 has good payload and is used in ground attack role but if it can be incorporated with avionics to support guided missiles as well as WVR A2A missiles apart from free fall bombs, can be a cheap solution, otherwise JH-7 or anyother suitable modern aircraft. 24 aircraft for each north central and south commands are good enough strike power when needed to take out enemy armour, bunkers, other strong holds and in some cases provide emergency Air def in own soil so debacle of longewala isnt repeated.
There is no good airdefence weapon apart from HQ-9 to counter enemy air attack bombing from high altitudes.A solid mobile AD weapon system to counter enemy Mirage2000 and SU30MKI bomb runs from high altitude is definitely needed.
All the other weapons in the army including tanks, APC's, artillery etc are in good quantity. Many being replaced slowly with good modern and quality replacements.
The Air Force needs eyes in the air in the form of AWACS. This should be number one priority. The benefits of an AWACS are unlimited. an AWACS controlled operation(Like in NW currently) gives coordinated offensive due to constant monitoring of enemy movements, lowers casualty rate as well as civilian losses. The detection of IED and other traps also becomes easy if jamming capability is utilized. Erieye and ZDK if not used properly are of no use.
An aircraft with ELINT/EW capability in good numbers. Falcon-20 are just three in number and cant be up in the air all the time for any operation which takes days to complete. a better way would be to raise a squadron or two of a JF-17 EW/ELINT variant like EA-18 so atleast 2 aircraft are always in the air to support operations on the ground especially where the enemy is good in cloaking and deception and uses IED's and other guerilla methods.
PAF is doing good by increasing numbers of JF-17 as fast as it can, but it shouldnt focus only on replacing older a/c but also raise new squadrons and take the tally 30+ for fighter and strike squadrons.
Navy is very small and can rarely launch a formidable offensive or blockade. In the air department,Navy needs 2+ dedicated fighter air squadrons for strike as well as air cover for fleet. This way atleast 2-4 aircraft will be usually in the air to provide escort for dedicated EW aircraft(P-3C/H-850/F-27) + one AWACS to support fleet attacks as well as provide monitoring and detection. Mirages are coming to an end of life although they are valuable assets.In order to keep them in air for long, a dedicated air refuelling aircraft would also be required. A better candidate is J-11.
The submarine force is again too small and since it will be the main strength that PN will rely upon, numbers exceeding 15 would be able to give a good punch in offensives while leaving few to guard own waters. Any sea to surface missile launching submarine is a good addition.
The defence of the all the creeks and all the shores should be given to the PN Marines whose current main job is protecting installations. The numbers should be raised to a Corps level. a strong 9-10 Brigades Marine force with attached artillery armor and air def units can not only protect the shore from an amphibious landing but also let the Army V-Corps concentrate just on the ground offensives in the southern regions. The marines could also take part as regular infantry units in current battles in NW to enhance experience among its ranks.
UAV and UCAV's for all the armed forces including Coast Guard.
King-6, Bravo is Mission Complete, Send Black Window.

GARY Johnson has warned Yeovil Town fans not to expect a marquee signing this January.
The Glovers' boss is working hard to bolster his squad in a bid to boost Town's survival bid, but has told fans not to set their expectations too high.
Speaking after his side's 2-1 home defeat to Burnley on Saturday (January 11), Johnson said: "They're always busy weeks but if people are expecting Yeovil to suddenly sign a big name player then that's not going to happen.
"Don't get get all our customers up too high in their expectation because when we sign Joe Bloggs they go 'argh, Joe Bloggs, who's he?' when they expect Wayne Rooney.
"There are 23 other teams in the Championship and we're all fighting for good players and if there's a good player out there and he has the choice of six teams or Yeovil or Burnley, there's every chance he's going to choose one of the others.
"We're going to keep going and try to find these little gems if we can and keep competing."
Johnson also rubbished reports in Scotland suggesting the Glovers will make a move for Livingston hot shot Marc McNulty, who has also been targeted by Rangers.
So far, Johnson has brought in defender Matteo Lanzoni on a permanent deal, with Shane Duffy, John Lundstram and Joe Ralls agreeing extended loans.
Up front is one area where Johnson is looking to strengthen, having lost Ishmael Miller (loan expired) and Paddy Madden, who moved to Scunthorpe this week.

|Mount Cheam, British Columbia
Fast forward to 2011... almost 40 years had past and I still hadn't achieved my goal. And I was getting a little frustrated. Every time we would drive by the mountain on the freeway I would say, "Someday I'm going to get up there." I think Tony stopped listening to me. Then I discovered geocaching and sure enough, before I knew it, there were a bunch of caches hidden along the Cheam trail and two on the peak! Now I really have to get there!
Climbing Cheam (or any mountain for that matter) is not something you do lightly or something you do alone. Unfortunately for me, Tony is not interested in climbing any mountain unless hunting or fishing is involved, so if I was going to get up there, I had to figure out how to do it on my own.
Enter my good friend Carol (in geo-caching world aka Nurse Hatchett). Carol's family, the Baergs, have a family reunion every three years and every six years one of their family reunion traditions is to climb Cheam. They've been climbing the mountain since the 1970s & this year Carol invited me to join them.
I've decided I really like this family.
So on August 27th, one day after my 49th birthday, I became a member of the Baerg family for a day. I was so excited.
The forecast was for perfect weather and it did not disappoint. Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect.
We all met near Bridal Falls and 15 of the Baergs, plus me, packed into some borrowed trucks to make the trip up the Chipmunk Creek FSR to the parking lot at the trailhead. The road up to the trailhead is rough, to say the least. In order to keep the snow melt from turning the road into a river in the Spring, there are cross-ditches dug every 200m or so... makes for a very interesting ride in a big pickup loaded with people. Once we got to the parking lot we noticed that the truck with all the teenagers was no longer behind us. We waited a bit and finally we asked some other hikers who came up shortly after us. Had they seen a truck full of young kids? "Oh yah," he said, "They had major car trouble." Great.
But it soon became apparent that the Baergs are not a family that gets into an uproar too easily. By the time Rick (one of the dads) decided to head back down to rescue the kids most of them had already hitched rides up to the parking lot. Thank goodness for Good Samaritans! So let's hike...we'll worry about the truck later!
The alpine meadows on Mount Cheam are incredible. I lost track of how many different mountain flowers I saw and the geocaches were placed just right so that I could use the excuse that "I am looking for a geo-cache" instead of "I can't breathe anymore & my legs are on fire."
There are 12 caches on the way up to Cheam Peak and we found 8 so I was pretty happy with that. I really wanted to find at least one cache on the peak and was happy to find CHEAM - GC1F94M at the top....wow! is all I can say about this cache location. There's another great view from GC2EJ9G and GC1FCKC really was a great spot to take a break! All the caches we found that day were well done and I highly recommend them all.
|View to the north from Cheam Peak
|Mary & Elizabeth
|Carol & Me at the top!
And that should be the end of the story shouldn't it? But it turns out that our day of adventures was not over yet. Once we all got back down to the parking lot, piled into the one truck that we had left and started backing out it soon became apparent that there was now something wrong with this truck. The power steering was gone! But once again, the Baerg family did not panic... the truck has just enough maneuvering capabilty to navigate the road and our driver, Rick, has, apparently, pretty strong arms. As we start down the road I hear Rick's wife, Annette, ask him quietly, "How's it going?" And he says (also very quietly), "I don't think I want to tell you.... we have no brakes either."
Are you kidding me?
I thought coming down the trail on Cheam was tough but this was brutal. Hairpin turns, gravel road, cross ditches & major cliffs. It took us almost 2 hours to drive 6 kilometres... the whole trip in first gear. But you know, as we turtled our way down the mountain, with Rick white-knuckling the steering wheel, that family visited and reminisced and laughed....mostly they laughed. And I realized then that they were making another family memory. A great one. One that they'll talk about in 6 years when they climb the mountain once again. They'll laugh and say "Remember the last time we were here and the trucks all broke down? Wonder what adventures will happen to us this time?" And maybe they'll ask me again if I want to come along.
|the Baerg Family - at the top! August 2011
Thanks, Baerg family, for the awesome adventure. And thanks for the memory.
|I finally did it!

This month we have an international feel (And I don't mean groping the waitress at your local chinese restaurant).
It's a subscritpion to the all new online streetfighter magazine: WORLD WIDE BOMBER MAGAZINE. Created by Janne (editor of Bomber Magazine Finland) and MDM (ex-editor of Streetfighters Magazine UK) this is the new face of Streetfighter Mags. I'll let MDM do the talking.....
"World Wide Bomber is the brand new online magazine devoted to bikes that've been modified with one prime objective – to go fast. Naturally, they have to look good while doing so, but the main aim is clear. Performance, at any cost.
As the title suggests, World Wide Bomber is a global entity, featuring performance-orientated custom bikes that're being built around the world - from London to the Lebanon, Helsinki to Hawaii, Moscow to Melbourne – alongside technical articles, interviews, race reports and more.
Naturally, as WWB is the electronic offspring of the Finnish magazine, Bomber, there'll be the irreverent attitude and inbuilt lunacy associated with the Finns' love of motorsport that is part of their DNA. So expect a cocktail of highly-tuned engines, turbochargers and superchargers, lightweight race components, nitrous oxide, wheelies, burnouts, and test bikes being ridden in a way that the manufacturers never imagined..."
...and the best part? You don't have to do anything! It's as all our competitions will be from now on; call it a DOOR PRIZE for all donating members. All you have to do is say "I'm in!" below.

That gives you an opportunity to fine-tune your long-term planning, or to develop a plan if you've postponed doing so. Here are some factors to keep in mind as the year winds down.

It hasn't taken long for Houston coach Todd Whitting and his coaching staff to work their magic with the Cougars. Just coming off an 18-35 campaign last season, the Cougars are in the midst of a magical campaign with a 21-4 overall record.
They take yet another step forward this week with a showing in the Perfect Game College Top 25, debuting at No. 22 after taking a midweek bout from in-state foe Texas before sweeping East Carolina at home.
While Houston is a big mover in this week's rankings, it certainly isn't alone. However, the top five continues to have some familiar names. North Carolina remains the nation's No. 1 club after another fantastic week, while LSU moved from No. 3 to No. 2, jumping Vanderbilt, following another perfect week. The rest of the top five includes UCLA and Oregon State, which took care of business in Pac-12 play over the weekend.
There was plenty of movement with the rest of the top 10. Ole Miss and South Carolina each dropped out of the group after losing tough SEC home series to Texas A&M and Arkansas, respectively, while Cal State Fullerton moved from No. 9 to No. 6, Florida State moved from No. 11 to No. 7, Virginia moved from No. 14 to No. 8, Kentucky moved from No. 12 to No. 9 and Georgia Tech dropped from No. 6 to No. 10 after a close and hard-fought series against the Seminoles.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Louisville dropped from No. 10 to No. 18 following a home series loss to Rutgers, while North Carolina State dropped from No. 13 to No. 21 after a poor showing on the road against Virginia.
Also worth noting, in addition to Houston entering the rankings, Cal Poly entered at No. 23 while Texas A&M entered at No. 25 following the road series win over Ole Miss.
Conference breakdown: SEC 8, ACC 5, Pac-12 4, Big East 2, Big West 2, Big Ten 1, Big 12 1, Conference USA 2
The Perfect Game Top 25 will be released each Monday morning throughout the college baseball season.

We can say that Sacred Mounts' green landscapes look like and
become sort of useful representation of the religious messages which founders meant to convey and are therefore very different for each
The simplest natural landscapes are in Belmonte, Domodossola, Crea and Ghiffa, where vegetation grows around devotional path, and
simple wood has the role of integrating architectural elements with the surrounding landscape. The wood surrounding Crea's chapels
also has special botanical values, because it is in part composed of very ancient original vegetation: nowadays in fact this is very
rare to find in this area because of centuries landscape's changes made in order to maintain vineyards cultivations. With their
particular landscapes, woodland slopes of the above Sacred Mounts offer today's pilgrims remarkable natural aspects and emotional
inputs for intimate meditation moments.
Contrasts between northern and southern slopes, between shadows and lights, show a particular environment rich in nuances and natural
chiaroscuro-effects, which simbolically lead to their original meaning of "hermit-like complexes".
In Varese, Sacred Mount's architectural elements clearly predominate: the complexe's green space is in fact very limited because the
architectural monumental size occupies all the sacred space and allows pilgrims, quite from everywhere, to see the outside surrounding
woods and lake.
Even in Ossuccio the path composed by chapels occupies a predominant space: here the green landscape is entirely rural and characterized
by terracings facing Como's Lake, with their typical little stone walls, once olive trees and vineyards' cultivations.
Particular high mountains environmental conditions of the location in which they built Oropa's Sacred Mount, didn't help founders to do
any land and vegetations changes; here spaces are characterized by huge beech- and fir-woods and grass pastures.
The natural 'barrier' made by conifers growing between the Sacred Mount and the near Sanctuary, are the only environmental intervention
they could plan and realize here; instead in other religious complexes they could elaborate and realize sometimes very sophisticated ones.
For example in Sacred Mount of Varallo, but in particular in the one of Orta, the choice of such particular botanical frames and shapes
is aimed at contributing to a special landscape planning role (concerning path, architectural elements, paintings and statues), that is
the role of telling the religious issues proposed within chapels.
Hedges, topiaries, flower-beds and trees strategically set
into rows, lead pilgrims steps along the holy path and let their eyes straight to the destination, quite avoiding them profane
thoughts about the surrounding landscape. In Varallo, considered by Alessi the ideal city, green spaces reach very complicated
frames similar to those you can notice by looking at urban places and streets, while Saint Francis Sacred Mount of Orta is just
like a garden, with its hedges' rythm and its big trees counterpoint; the green space here surely predominates, as supporting
favourite Saint Francis preaching issue concerning the incommensurable divine beauty you can even find even in Nature.

A suspected serial arsonist in Detroit says he has a 30-year-long grudge with the city's fire department, so he has been torching hundreds of homes in retaliation ever since. He was caught by investigators this week.
Our local Fox affiliate reports that Detroit Fire Department investigators set up surveillance on Robinwood Street (sound familiar? It's down the street from this part of Robinwood Street) on the city's east side after a string of house fires there.
There were five consecutive fires on that street. When he was arrested, he admitted to each one. But officers say he admitted to more. Hundreds more. The reason why?
He claims his brother was electrocuted years ago when he was 10 years old and firefighters wouldn't let him see his brother.
The man, also suspected of squatting in homes on that street, has been charged.

It's an old story.
Archbishop O'Malley ordered Catholics to hand out abortifacients several years ago. Planned Parenthood is just catching up with the two who are defying the order or Arcbishop O'Malley and his proabort cronie Bryan Hehir whom he brought in years ago to fortify the "give canned goods to the poor and shuffle them into abortions machine.
In fact, attorney general Tom O'Reilly who illicitly and illegally used his bully pulpit to attempt to force Catholics to provide abortifacients, by opining they had no legal protections against such, Archbishop O'Malley HIRED at Caritas Christi to oversee the destruction of life gets enforced at Catholic Hospitals - and of course to thank him for making Planned Parenthood safe sex program part and parcel of religious education as the cure for pedophile priests.
While the diocese claims to be catching pedophiles, they've not informed a single soul in the pews of the identity of the pedophiles raping children in your communities. The same secrecy and silence that faciliated priests raping children is now facilitating lay people to rape your children. The same old Good Old Boys Network with a new shtick.
What a comfort it is for the employees at the "pastoral center" to know the kindergartners have a template for discerning what is pleasurable when you rub it and how important it is to wear a condom when things escalte and when that fails, go to St. Elizabeth's to get the morning after pill.
Bullet points at CWN:
But oh, how Archbishop O'Malley loves to march in the prolife parades and give soundbytes to the press about how concerned he is about the sanctity of life. All a show in the public square to jockey himself in a favorable light in case the Vatican reads the soundbyte.
This Globe story exposes layer upon layer of the corruption that infects what was once a solidly Catholic community in Boston. Consider:
- Massachusetts law does indeed require hospitals to dispense the "morning-after" pill to rape victims. The law passed through the legislature without serious opposition, despite the fact that a majority of lawmakers identify themselves as Catholics.
- The Caritas Christi hospitals are complying with the law, despite the fact that the "morning-after" pill causes abortions. Last week's new Vatican instruction on bioethics confirmed that the use of this pill is "gravely immoral."
- When two Catholic-hospital employees said that they could not fulfill an immoral request, they quickly became the targets of a pro-abortion publicity campaign, abetted by the region's most powerful media outlet.
- Worse, their employers at a Catholic health-care institution, rather than applauding the employees for showing sound moral judgment, conceded that their answers had violated corporate policy. Emergency-room personnel who followed Catholic ethical principles were put on notice that their Church-owned employer would not support them.
These are the days, aren't they?
Corruption and deception never had it so good.

After witnessing Australians deal with a snake at their window and learning to watch out for cats seeking shelter in our engine bays, I'd love to hear all the animal-encounter tales you've had with your vehicle.
I had an interesting experience myself while refueling a pack of Suzuki DR-Zs somewhere outside Yulara. A particularly curious emu started stalking a member of my group, then seized an opportunity to pluck the bloke's gloves from where they were plopped on the seat of his bike.
The bird scurried away into the scrub, but lost interest and dropped the gloves when it realized they tasted nothing like... whatever it is emus eat.
Whether an elephant took a dump on your Land Rover in the Serengeti or some baboons made off with your side mirror at one of those "drive-thru" zoos (do those still exist?) I can't wait to hear what kind of critter-calamity has ensued with your cars.

Review: His at Night by Sherry Thomas
Thursday, July 15, 2010
3. I loved her side characters. The romance between Freddie and (name) was fascinating. I love these situations where both want each other but are too shy to do anything. I loved the way they interacted and that she wasn't afraid to tell him her opinion on everything. I like strong woman with an mind and no hassle to stand up for what they want. Perhaps that is why I liked these 2 more than the main couple.
What I didn't like that much:
1. Lord Vere was contradicting. He blames Elissande for tricking him into he marriage and for "playing" most of her reaction to others but on the other hand he is even worse. He lies to everyone including his family. They all are worried about him and his "accidentally" caused stupidity. He was a bit too full of himself for my taste and everyone forgave him way too easily. He was cute from time to time but most of the time I just wanted to slap him silly. How dares he to judge Ellissande even after he knows what she went through. One second he was full of empathy and in the next he was picturing her as the worst lier of the world again. Also he's jumping in bed with her and then drops her like some piece of junk. I'm not appreciating that at all. And don't get me started on the first time they had sex. That was just so wrong. I know I'm ranting but that one really was a piece of work.
2. Perhaps I'm too modern but I don't think that woman of that time didn't know what an orgasm was. These woman had time alone with their body too and I can't believe that they didn't experimented with themselves. Okay I get that they probably weren't that informed about the male body and what to do with it but every woman should know her body at least a bit.
Okay ranting done. Beside this 2 points I really like this book. The story was compelling, the pace was perfect and the characters were mostly nice. It was a fast entertaining read I couldn't put down even if I was not so happy about some parts. I already plan to buy another of Mrs. Thomas books because she definitely knew how to entertain me.

Toddler Dressed Herself For School And Then Went Viral
Any mother will know that one of the hardest things to deal with when it comes to raising toddlers, is dressing them!
They reach an age where they only want to dress themselves - and the results can be HILARIOUS! Such was the case with Kaylieann Steinbach's annual school photo, which has gone viral for a very special reason!
She's a huge superhero fan, and the three-year-old made it known for her pic.
She's dressed as full super girl, complete with little butterflies in her hair, clutching a superman doll.
The story behind it is even more incredible than the photo itself. Kaylieann has profound hearing loss meaning she can't hear the letter 'S' and is 75% deaf in both ears, so she calls her favourite superhero characters "Pooterman" and "Pootergirl".
"She walked up, looked over each of her choices, turned and said 'Pootergirl!'" her dad, Austin told Huffington Post.
"And well, I couldn't argue with that answer." Since her dad shared the sweet pic on Reddit two days ago, it has gone EVERYWHERE, receiving hundreds of comments.
"The reaction and turnout from the deaf community is amazing," Austin added. "I still haven't been able to get through all the messages of support and kind words people have sent me.
I could never have imagined how much her picture could have touched so many."
BEYOND sweet!

Secretary Spellings visited Tinker AFB http://www.ed.gov/news/photos/2008/0228/edlite-0228_1.html on February 28, 2008 to offer congratulations on the school's accomplishments under the No Child Left Behind Act. The Secretary thanked the children for their hard work, stating, "I heard about you all the way up in Washington, DC." During her visit, the Secretary toured classrooms, spoke to the students and handed out awards at a school assembly, which began with a moment of silence in remembrance of the children who had recently died on base. She also led a roundtable discussion with a group of parents. See also, www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/02/02282008.html.
Since the Secretary's visit the Department's Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools has awarded a grant under Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) to Mid-Del School District that includes Tinker Elementary. The funds will provide additional student and family support services to the school community in the aftermath of the deaths of the two children and their father.
Secretary Spellings on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me Radio Program

Assistant Secretaries Clark and Briggs Visit Fort Benning, GA
On January 29, 2008, Assistant Secretaries Michell Clark and Kerrie Briggs participated in a DoD-sponsored team visit to Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia, and toured a Muskogee County high school. Fort Benning is anticipating a significant increase in military dependent children due to changes in Army activities at the installation over the next 5 to 10 years. The community is concerned about how an increase in the number of school-aged children will affect education facilities and programs. Assistant Secretaries Briggs and Clark led a group discussion with Fort Benning parents on issues and experiences they have had with their children's education. From the discussion it was found that the parents do research on the schools before deciding where to live. Their concerns include academic rigor, safety, class sizes, teachers' backgrounds, college attendance rates, special education services, availability of counselors and other support for students whose parents are deployed.
Assistant Secretary Briggs Speaks at Troops-to-Teachers Conference, Washington DC

"Rocky Mountain Maple"
Rocky Mountain maple is a native shrub that colors our slopes and avalanche chutes in reds, yellows and oranges each fall. Deer, elk and moose eat the twigs in winter, and they all eat Rocky Mountain maple leaves.
"Flathead Cherry Blossoms"
Row after row of delicate, white cherry blossoms is a welcome sign of spring in the fruit orchards around Flathead Lake, in western Montana.
"Remember Me?"
Forget-me-nots bloom in pink buds and blue flowers. Eight different species of forget-me-nots live in Montana, including three natives.
Behind the lens.
There are legends surrounding forget-me-nots in almost every major language. My favorite is a Persian story that tells of a male angel who was cast from heaven for his love of an Earthly woman with forget-me-nots woven into her braids. He wasn't allowed to return unless his beloved planted forget-me-nots in every corner of Earth. They took to the task hand-in-hand, and upon completion the couple entered paradise together. And now you'll remember this story the next time you see these modest flowers blooming in your own corner of the Earth.
"Huckleberry Heart."
Summer in Montana means two things -- juicy-ripe huckleberries, and purple fingers.
"Huckleberry Heart" note cards available here.
You can also read about the history of Montana's "huckleberry culture" here at our Wild & Free Montana natural history website.
"Huckleberry Heaven."
Late-summer rains make the huckleberries swell up sweet and plump, while the cool evenings transform the whole patch from dark green to crimson red. (Note cards available here.)
You can read about the history of Montana's "huckleberry culture" here at our natural history website, Wild & Free Montana.
Behind the lens.
Our friends Jim and Holly drove us up the mountainside to their "secret" huckleberry patch -- the real test of friendship here in Montana. They jumped out with empty buckets and started picking, and I hauled out my camera gear to work on this image that I had in my mind's eye. Even though the forecast called for sunshine, we climbed into the clouds and got soaking wet, picking fat berries with numb fingers. Some things are just worth it!
"Huckleberry Fall."
Huckleberry leaves - and one lone berry - fade into the first dusting of snow in fall. Some huckleberries make it past the hungry hikers and bears of summer, and become the seeds for another generation of huckleberry plants.
"Wild Horse Blanket"
Waves of yellow Arrow-leaved Balsamroot flowers blanket Wild Horse Island State Park, in Flathead Lake. Balsamroot belongs to the sunflower family and is native to Montana.
"Dream Catcher."
A spider web full of dawn dewdrops catches a multitude of visions projected by a nearby blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata), a wild and native member of the sunflower family.
Behind the lens.
I headed out to photograph the full moon and returned home with a spider web photo instead. You can read the back story here.
Note that you can print this as a rectangle or a square - cropping is available during checkout, after it's in your cart.
"Sunflower Sunrise."
Summer sunflowers, like this garden variety, grow side-by-side with their wild cousins in Montana. (Note cards available here.)
You can read the fascinating history of sunflowers here on my natural history website, Wild & Free Montana.
"Shooting Stars"
Our little Shooting Stars are perennial, native wildflowers that don't bloom in their first year. The Latin genus name ("Dodecatheon") translates to "twelve gods," and folklore said that the flowers point westward, keeping settlers on course as they crossed the Great Plains. In the east, Native American women wore the flowers in their hair to cast a love spell on certain men during dances - I'm pretty sure that would work on me!
"Evening Aster"
There are many, many Aster species native to Montana, but they are all dark blue to lavender in color.
"Pasqueflower Quintet."
The classic prairie crocus ("Anemone patens") is a native perennial herb that sprouts multiple blossoms in early spring.
Behind the lens.
The pretty purple parts are sepals, not petals. Other common names for this plant include meadow anemone, wind flower and Easter flower. And though it is common in Montana's spring prairies, it is the state flower of South Dakota.
"Pink & Yellow"
Small but delightful spring wildflowers include Few-seeded Draba (a wild member of the mustard family) and pink Rocky Mountain Douglasia (right).
"Mariposa Lilies."
"Mariposa" is Spanish for butterfly, so these little natives are our "butterfly lilies." Out of 57 species in the U.S., seven have been reported in Montana.
Behind the lens.
I used a focus stacking technique for this photograph, using seven images focused at slightly different depths. This technique gets all of the flowers in focus while keeping the background well blurred.
"Western Trillium"
Western Trillium is one of western Montana's most elegant native wildflowers. Following close behind snow melt in shaded areas, Trillium blooms open bright white or slightly pink. They often age into a lovely lavender color by early summer. Look for them in the spring along the lower reaches of Fish Creek, in Glacier National Park.
"Triple Trillium"
"White and Yellow Glacier Lilies"
Glacier Lilies are one of Glacier Park's "signature" wildflowers. Most of them are bright yellow, but in one small area of the North Fork Valley, white and yellow Glacier Lily varieties grow near each other, making for an elegant spring spectacle.
The bitterroot ("Lewisia Rediviva") was declared Montana's state flower in 1895, ninety years after Lewis and Clark "discovered" it in the Montana valley that would eventually share the flower's name.
Note cards available here.
"Bitterroot Quartet."
A cluster of four bitterroot blossoms poke their heads out of the broken rocks in early summer. The bitterroot is Montana's state flower.
"Star Flower."
Starry False Solomon's Seal is a wild member of the lily family that was used medicinally by Native American tribes. The roots, shoots, leaves and fruits are also edible -- if you know how to prepare them.
"Red Paintbrush."
The Indian Paintbrush is one of our most beautiful flowering plants. The actual flowers are the little yellow parts, while the red parts are modified leaves called "bracts."
Behind the lens.
This is one of my favorite flowers. They don't tend to be very showy unless they show up in large clumps. But if you get up close and personal with one flower, the symmetry and shapes are quite interesting. The color varies a lot with various paintbrush species growing in different locations and different soils.
"Fall Rose Hip"
Our cool fall nights turn the wild rose hips and leaves into patches of crimson. If collected and dried after the first frost, but before the first heavy freeze, rose hips make a nice tea that's naturally high in vitamin C.
Calypso Orchid
Our most common native orchid in western Montana maintains a few intriguing reproductive traits. The number of seeds a flower produces depends on how much pollen is delivered by bumblebees, with an average seed count between 10,000 and 20,000 per flower. And the seeds require help from mycorrhizal fungi in order to germinate.
"Spotted Coralroot."
The Spotted Coralroot is one of Montana's beautiful, native orchids. It's spotted flowers are about 1/2 inch wide and bloom in June.
"Fall Colors."
A patch of Birchleaf Spiraea paints a fall hillside will color where, less than one year earlier, a wildfire had swept the forest floor clean
Montana currently claims about 12 of the 80 or so lupine species/sub-species/varieties argued over by modern-day botanists. Silky lupine ("Lupinus sericeus") is probably the most common member here in our state. Lewis and Clark collected lupine along Montana's Blackfoot River way back in 1806.
You can read more about lupines here at our natural history website, Wild & Free Montana.
"Arrow-leaved Balsamroot."
Arrow-leaved Balsamroot is one of Montana's showiest sunflower cousins. If from a distance you see a south-facing hillside awash in yellow, that's Arrow-leaved Balsamroot.
You can read all about the sunflower family here on my natural history website, Wild & Free Montana.
"Flowering Kinnikinnick."
Kinnikinnick is one of the many native plants that was pressed and lugged back to "civilization" as a scientific specimen by those early Montana tourists, Lewis and Clark. Each tiny, pink blossom is only about 1/4" in size.
You can read all about kinnikinnick here over on my natural history website, Wild & Free Montana.
"Reach for the Sky."
Yellow pond lily pads grow slowly towards the light of early summer. Almost half of the pads start out red when growing towards the lake surface. Yellow flowers reach for the sky on separate stems.
"A Pair of Harebells."
Harebells vary in height by elevation and available moisture, but they're all avoided by hungry animals because they contain toxic alkaloids. The name might originate from the phonetic spelling of Scottish "heather bells."
"Delicate Owl Clover."
The dainty owl clover shows delicate pink bracts (modified leaves) above smallish, yellow trumpet-shaped flowers.
Behind the lens.
It was a blazing hot June afternoon of bighorn sheep photography. But I kept getting distracted by these delicate little flowers appearing in clumps here and there among the grasses. So I finally gave in and broke out the 105mm macro lens, trading time with rams for time on my hands and knees with wildflowers. As the saying goes, there's no cure for curiousity.
"Fuller's Teasel"
Dried teasel stalks watch another sunset over Nine Pipes National Wildlife Refuge.
Behind the lens.
Teasel has a long and complicated relationship with humans. You can read more about it here.
"Wolf's Cholla"
The wolf's cholla (Cylindropuntia wolfii) spring flowers can vary from deep red to yellow.
"Polyphemus Moth"
The Polyphemus Moth is a creature of superlatives. It is one of our largest moths (4-6" wingspan), most widespread (all of U.S. except desert southwest), and of course one of our most beautiful native animals. Its name originates from the giant cyclops of Greek mythology, Polyphemus, who had one large eye in the center of his forehead.
A Satyr Angelwing butterfly (Polygonia satyrus) warms itself by basking on the sunny side of an aspen tree. These butterflies feed on tree sap more than flower nectar, and their eggs and caterpillars rely almost exclusively on thistle plants.
"A New Mourning"
A caterpillar formed the chrysalis, but a brand new Mourning Cloak butterfly emerged from it a few weeks later. Her new wings are wrinkled at first, so she must hang upside-down to let her wings unfold and harden for an hour. Only then will she make her very first flight.
"Mourning Cloak."
The Mourning Cloak is Montana's state butterfly. They overwinter as adults, like this one, and then mate and lay eggs in the spring.
"Sulphurs Sharing a Sip"
Two sulphur butterflies share a sip of nectar from a single aster bloom. Sulphers are a bit unusual in that they almost never open their wings when perched. The only time they do is when a female is rejecting a male!
"New Wings."
After emerging from a chrysalis, a Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly climbs to the top of a flower and spreads its new wings to dry, in preparation for its first flight.
Behind the lens.
I arrived on the scene after this butterfly had emerged and was approaching the top of the flower. It was unable to fly with its wrinkly, new wings. But as it inflated the delicate wings with fluid, it slowly began to take on the familiar shape that we all recognize.
Once I was down at eye level, I tried positioning my lens to be parallel to the plane of the wings, but the butterfly kept turning. So I settled for the cleanest and most pleasing background.
"Leaf Moth"
Our beautiful, native leaf moth ("Euchlaena mollisaria") is adapted to blend in with leaf litter on the forest floor. This one is resting on old Oregon grape leaves.
"Dragonfly Dew."
The morning dew glistens on the wings and body of a perched dragonfly.
Behind the lens.
This is a full-body image of the same dragonfly species as "Gossamer Wings," photographed on a different day in a different location.
"Gossamer Wings."
A summer-time dragonfly rests its gossamer wings on a timothy grass seed head. (Note cards available here.)
Behind the lens.
People viewing large versions of this photograph often ask me if it's a painting. I used a relatively new macro photography technique to get amazing detail in this portrait of a fascinating creature. (Hint: I used a 20-year-old macro lens along with an extension tube, but I do have to keep a few secrets to myself!) Did you know that dragonflies can fly backwards, or reach speeds of 35 mph? They can also sit perfectly still on a grass stem and do a pretty good imitation of a stained-glass window.
"Diamonds in the Sky."
The evening sun gets refracted into dozens of rainbow-colored diamonds as it passes through a dragonfly's transparent wings.

We often hear the phrase "meet the team" before the start of a sports season. Here, we invite you to meet the research team. Research involves a lot of people who have different roles; much like a sports team has different coaches, players, referees and fans. Both on a sports team and in research each person plays a vital role and like a game, research can only be done with the all team members.
Head Coach
Let's start with the head coach. The Principal Investigator (PI) is like the head coach because he or she is an expert in the topic. They are most responsible for planning the research study and the work of the rest of the team. The head coach, researcher/PI has to follow a playbook. This playbook is called a "protocol". A protocol is a guide researchers must follow during the research study. Like sports, the guide must be in line with the rules of the game. The research study can only begin after the "protocol" has been reviewed by the IRB. The IRB tells the researcher/PI the rules that must be used before the study starts. Following the rules helps keep the volunteer safe during the study.
Assistant Coaches
The research staff is like the assistant coaches. Why? Because the research staff handles most of the day-to-day activities and works closely with the head coach. The research staff is there for you when you or your family and friends have questions about the research study. You can call them if you have any questions or concerns about the study! Just as coaches and assistant coaches must complete special training before they are allowed to coach a game, the PI and research staff must also complete special training to ensure that they understand the rules of research.
Research volunteers are the MOST important members on the research team. Like a game can only be played with players, research can only be done with volunteers. Research studies need all kinds of people to volunteer. (In the same way that you don't have a team without the players, researchers cannot learn about what works and what doesn't without volunteers). For example, for a long time heart disease was thought to be a man's disease and was only studied in men. Because women were not studied, little was known about the symptoms of heart attacks in women or what treatments were effective. Now we know women get heart disease, too, and their symptoms are often different from those that men have.
Research studies need volunteers of all ages, genders, races, and ethnicities. Volunteers can be tall or short, rich or poor, and thin or heavy. They are not always people with an illness. Healthy people can also volunteer to take part in research.
Volunteers from each of these groups are important for different reasons. For example, children volunteers are needed to learn more about childhood diseases such as childhood asthma. Elderly volunteers help researchers learn about concerns and conditions that effect only older people. Volunteers of different races and ethnicities are important to learn more about diseases that are more common among them and because some treatments work differently for different groups of people. For example, type-2 diabetes and asthma are more common in African Americans and Hispanics.
This is why it is so important that people of all ages, genders, races and ethnic groups take part in research studies. It is the only way that researchers can find treatments for all people and that researchers can know the different ways different people respond to different treatments.
Family, friends and personal support
Much like a sports team has fans to observe the game and cheer the team to victory, your family, friends and personal support are people you can talk with about taking part in the study. You may share with them what the study is about. They may have questions about the study. They may also help support you during the study. The final decision though, is yours, as to whether you will take part or not.
Like a sports team, the referees are the people that protect your safety. In research, there are national rule makers or regulators, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); local, Institutional Review Board (IRB); and institutional, research subject advocates (RSAs). The research rule makers:
- review the research study before it starts
- make sure all rules are being followed, and
- help keep you safe and informed.
Referees help teams follow certain rules. In sports these rules protect the safety of the players and depend on the game. In research, rules also protect the safety of volunteers and are different depending on the type of research.
At the national level, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has an official guide or set of rules that all researchers must follow. These rules are also called the "Common Rules." This means that these rules apply to or are "common" to all studies that involve humans.
Locally, IRBs help researchers follow those rules. IRB is a complex term. The B stands of BOARD. This means that it is a group of people that looks at the research study. R is for REVIEW, meaning that the study is checked closely to see that rules are followed. The I stands for INSTITUTIONAL, meaning that the study follows rules that apply to wherever the research will be done. Research goes on at hospitals, colleges, and other places, and the IRB is the local group that helps to keep volunteers safe by overseeing study activities at these locations.
There are other local referees whose job is to support volunteers more directly. These people are often called "participant advocates" or sometimes "research subject advocates." They are the insiders who can help you while you are in the study. They are there to support you. You can contact them at any time. If you have questions or need help with some aspect of your taking part.

Consent form: One part of the informed consent process (see "informed consent"). A consent form is a document that describes and explains the parts of the study. Each form has at least 8 parts. The parts will cover what the study is about, who can join, what you will be asked to do, any risks or benefits, any costs, any inconvenience, what your information will be used for, and that your taking part is voluntary. After all questions have been answered and the volunteer agrees, it is signed by the volunteer. By choosing to sign the consent form, a person shows that s/he understands the study and is willing to take part.

- Voluntary: it's up to you – it's your choice
Data: the information that researchers get and look at
Device: A piece of equipment made for a particular purpose; especially a mechanical or electrical one. An example would be a pacemaker.
Eligibility: A process of finding out whether a volunteer is a good fit or match for a study.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration): A government agency that monitors and approves drugs and devices before they can be used in the general public; one of the "referees."
Informed consent: A process that involves talking with a study team about why they're doing the study, what you will have to do while taking part in a research study, how much time it will take, whether you will be paid , whom to contact if you have questions – everything you need to know about volunteering. Part of the informed consent process includes a consent form (see "consent form").
Investigator: A professional, usually a doctor, but may also be a nurse, pharmacist or other health care professional; one of the "coaches."
IRB (Institutional Review Board): A special group of professionals who look over research studies to protect the safety of study participants; one of the "referees."
Observations: Looking at and learning why things are the way they are.
Participant: A person taking part in a study. Also called a research volunteer or research subject; one of the "players."
Protocol: The study plan; the "play book."
Recruitment: Finding and getting people to join a study.
Research Subject: A person taking part in a study. Also called a participant or research volunteer; one of the "players."
Research Volunteer: A person taking part in a study. Also called a participant or research subject; one of the "players."
Retention: Refers to the completion of follow-up visits and procedures involved in the study; staying in the study until it is completed.
Sample: A small set of a larger group.
Standard Treatment: The treatment we know works for most people and that usually happens at the doctor's office or hospital; part of usual care (see "usual care").
Surveys: The use of written or verbal questions to gather information about people's thoughts and behaviors.
Usual Care: What you normally get at the doctor's office; includes preventative health care, routine screenings, and standard treatment (see "standard treatment").

You've planned and budgeted for your trip... figuring in everything from the airfare to the hotel to the rental car... but it's always hard to estimate what you're going to dole out in tips.
How much should you tip anyway? We all know that waiters and waitresses get 15-20% ( click here for a printable tipping table), but, what about all the other people who help you on your trip... taxi drivers, bellmen, the concierge?
While everybody has their own criteria and there are no hard, fast rules... there are guidelines that can help you determine the appropriate tips for all those people who make your vacation just a little better.
*The tipping suggestions below are for within the United States only, tipping policies differ immensely in different countries. When travelling abroad, ask your hotel's concierge what general tipping behavior is.

However, the sound was pretty lackluster and failed to really produce anything much below 50 Hz, so I decided to kick it up a notch with some spare equipment I had laying around.
The stock woofer was highly inefficient when trying to play low frequencies, and was prone to "chuffing" (the sound air makes when it is quickly pushed out of the port hole) at higher volumes. The subwoofer's amplifier, however, is quiet (no humming, even with the volume cranked) and I like the simplicity of the 1/8" input (fewer wires jumbled up behind my setup), so I decided to bypass the crappy stock speaker and use the amp to drive a more capable bass speaker.
I had a spare Electro Voice EVM-15L driver with matching enclosure that I used for playing bass guitar, so I cut a 1/4" patch cable in half to get at the bare signal/ground connections without damaging the existing enclosure (in case I decide to use it for bass guitar again at some point) and disassembled my little subwoofer enclosure.
The subwoofer amplifier stage is mounted on a plate that came off easily after removing 8 little screws. A single wire connected the amplifier to the crappy stock speaker, so I cut that and pushed it to the outside of the enclosure to power my EV 15".
At this point, I could have removed the amplifier plate entirely from the old enclosure and woofer, but I didn't want to have a bunch of bare circuit boards laying around, so I routed the aforementioned cut-wire out through one of the screw holes and then screwed the plate back into place on the enclosure.
Unfortunately, when I connected the now-liberated amplifier to my EV 15", I experienced a lot of clipping, even at low volumes. I suspected that this might be a problem with the impedance of the driver not matching up with that of the stock driver, so I wired a spare 8-ohm resister in series with my EV, which fixed things right up. Now, it sounds great and has much more volume than I could ever want/need (the EV's SPL at lower frequencies is, unsurprisingly, far greater than the stock driver's).
The bass is smooth, punchy and you can feel it in your guts, unlike the piddly, flatulent sounds of the stock configuration. I've heard a lot of audiophiles say that "pro" audio gear is inappropriate for hi-fi use, but my experience demonstrates otherwise.

Cutest Tune-Ups Ever – Four Cats Discovered in Cars by Mechanics [VIDEOS]
As cat owners know well, kitties like to curl up in any old warm spot: a ray of sunshine, the top of a radiator and, in the case of these curious cats, in the hoods and undercarriages of cars. Check out these auto-residing felines who made it out safely, thanks to some surprised mechanics.
This Soviet kitty was pulled out from under a car at the shop.
This tiny stowaway was found in an air filter by a mechanic in Vermont.
This isn't exactly what most motorheads mean when they say "Listen to this kitty purr."
Miles traveled from Anaheim, California to Irvine before he was removed from behind the headlight in a dramatic rescue effort.

The other day we put together maps of illegal drug use from the U.N.'s World Drug Report 2012, and now we are going through the data to get a better idea of which countries use which drugs most.
We made the "Top 12" of marijuana users.
Now here's list of countries with the highest annual prevalence of cocaine use (as a percentage of the population aged 15 to 64):
1) Isle of Man 3.5%
2) Spain 2.7; Scotland*: 2.7%
4) England*; USA; Italy: 2.2%
7) Australia**: 2.1%
8) Monaco 1.9%
9) Ireland; Uruguay; Saint Kitts and Nevis: 1.7%
*aged 16 to 64
**aged 14+
These 11 countries are far ahead of the field as the next closest country was Bermuda* (1.3%).
Spain, USA, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Italy and Australia also made the list for countries with the highest prevalence of marijuana users.

Welcome to Aunt Shoe, where I write about the recipes and ideas that intersect my life. My food philosophy is simple: I think food should be easy, fun and convenient. It should look good, taste good and be good for you. I'm definitely not an expert but I'm willing to try anything, providing it's not complicated! I tend to make things up as I go along, prepare for the worst and hope for the best! I love sharing recipes and ideas. Hope you enjoy my blog.

Responding to my complaint about being trapped in CNN hell at Newark's Liberty International Airport Gate 62, several readers pointed out the handy TV B Gone device. This is a device ranking in necessity with the neck pillow for the long distance traveler. The site explains:
Your TV-B-Gone® universal remote control resembles other TV remote controls, but is different in two important ways. First, it only has a power button that allows you to switch a TV on or off. You control when you see, rather than what you see. Second, the device is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, so that you have it handy whenever you need it wherever you go: airports, bars, restaurants, laundromats, etc.
"You can use TV-B-Gone® to control access to television for philosophical or practical reasons, or simply to have fun!" —Mitch Altman, Inventor of TV-B-Gone®
What won't they think of next? I would appreciate any testimonials or critiques in the comments.
