After nearly a year of preparation and anticipation, Danielle and I headed towards Nebraska to meet up with Ross and Jill. Based on past weather data, and proximity to Texas and Colorado, we had agreed to all camp in western Nebraska and to strike out from there to a suitable viewing location. Ross made the reservations a year in advance in anticipation of some difficulty in finding the accommodations we wanted, and even that far out he had problems finding two sites with electricity next to each other. We wound up with reservations at Lake McConaughy near Ogallala, west of North Platte, which seemed ideal. Access to the interstate, state highways, and backroads meant that we had flexibility even if the site itself was on the far outer fringe of the path of totality.
In the months leading up to the the eclipse, I tested various equipment configurations similar to the one I brought to the transit of Venus in Hawaii. However, due to the low solar activity, I decided to leave the H-alpha scope at home and set up a wide field camera. I even used my new mini 3-D printer to create custom solar filters, solar finders, and other nifty accessories.
We have had experience with various forms of astrophotography, including partial eclipses. However, this was to be our first total eclipse. In preparation, we read everything we could find on-line about eclipse camera work. We attended the Sky and Telescope webinars "Basic Eclipse Photography" and "Advanced Eclipse Photography" by Fred Espenak. We also read the e-book "How To Photograph the Solar Eclipse" by Alan Dyer. These gave us excellent information about techniques for both acquiring and processing images.
As we got ready to leave, we packed all of the imaging equipment we had gathered into the back of the Jeep, treating it like a trailer for the trip. We ended up bringing five tripods, a equatorial mount, four DSLR cameras, several lens, a small refractor telescope, as well as our birding binoculars and spotting scopes outfitted for solar viewing. We also packed enough supplies to rough it in the back country of the Crescent Lake NWR, our expected viewing location.
We decided to take the trip slowly and make several stops. We hoped to do some birding along the way, though August is not a great time for birding. Our first stop was Lake Thunderbird near Oklahoma City. This was a pretty location but I was disappointed by all of the trash and beer cans everywhere. We ended up parking next to an identical Vista/Sunstar 29VE. The evening was spent finding a few birds, watching a thunderstorm roll by and seeing a nice sunset. The population of Western Kingbirds and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers far out-numbered the campers.
This location proved to be one of the few that we did not reschedule. Our next stop was planned to be Glen Elder, KS. However, as we got closer, we decided that driving the RV for hundreds of miles along narrow two lane roads with no shoulder was not going to be pleasant. We changed our second camping location to the KOA in Grand Island. The KOA was right on center-line but they had been booked up for the 21st over 15 months ago so no keeping that site through Monday.
One more trip leg and we got to Lake McConaughy. We enjoyed a bit of birding there including watching two nests of Barn Swallows fledge during our stay. Ross and Jill joined us on our second day and we set up a nice family camp to share evening meals
On Friday morning at the Lake McConaughy site, Danielle and I practiced with some of our equipment to get a look at the sun. I was excited to see a new sunspot complex had developed (AR2671). This meant that we would have something sharp to focus the cameras on come observing day ... though the weather forecasts were starting to look grim for us.
In the afternoon, we explored the Sandhills of Nebraska, looking for possible observing sites. While on this excursion, we passed this guy hauling porta potties to one of the organized viewing sites.
Ross and Jill joined us late Friday night. As the threat of clouds in "our" part of Nebraska continued to grow, we decided to hedge our bets and book a paid viewing spot at the golf course in Stapleton, NE, on or near the centerline of the path of totality. This was, ironically, one of the first locations I had scouted on Google Maps before finding out that they were having a viewing extravaganza in that did not look friendly to groups with a large amount of equipment. However, once we got there, the golf-course site looked very promising and we were promised adequate room to set up our equipment. Moreover they were serving alcohol, the better for people to drown their sorrows if no break in the clouds materialized. Our scouting trip also netted us a nice Red-tailed Hawk along the way and a bunch of Horned Larks at the golf course.
On Saturday, we took a rest from obsessing over clouds to go birding around Lake Ogallala. On this trip we saw a few new species including "Woody" the Red-headed Woodpecker. I also got a nice shot of a Bell's Vireo near the fish cleaning station.
On Sunday morning, we had our final "council of war" regarding the cloud forecasts. We finally found a use for the big TV in the RV, projecting a screen shot of NOAA web-pages. The forecast now ruled out Crescent Lake NWR and put Stapleton into question. Our other option, heading west into Wyoming, was a non-starter because of the expected hordes of people driving to Casper from Denver. The best spot was looking like Grand Island ... how ironic that we were just there.
Danielle found a Boy Scout camp near Grand Island that was still offering cheap dry camping in their fields. We decided to book yet another spot for Sunday and Monday nights. We broke camp after lunch, abandoned our reservations and headed four hours back east ...
... and arrived at Camp Augustine near Doniphan, NE in the early evening.
Unfortunately, the freshly mowed dried grass aggravated my asthma and the lack of A/C made all of us miserable, especially Danielle with her heat sensitivity. After a sleepless night, we trundled all of our stuff over to the camp parade grounds, the official viewing location. The main viewing location in Grand Island was at the Stuhr Museum and was reported to be very crowded. Our location was unadvertised and I saw around 50 people on the parade grounds. The drone image below is from a frame of a video shot by Jim Ketchum during the event. I linked to the full video on YouTube at the end of this blog
Our collection of equipment drew several neighboring groups over to see what we were doing. This was great as we were able to share some views in the spotting scope and meet some very nice folks. This small but enthusiastic crowd made the viewing experience more enjoyable than our original plan of observing from the boonies.
After several nerve-wracking technical problems with the equipment, we got most of it set up in time for the event. As forecasted, there were many high wispy clouds, but we could still see the sun. Thankfully, there were no thick, low clouds. Here is my main setup consisting of a Canon 7D MkII and an Orion ED80CF telescope on the right and a Canon 60Da and 100-400mm lens on the left. Both are mounted on on the equatorial mount and connected to the laptop. The tall tripod beyond me was for a Canon 450D and Rokinon 10mm f/2.8 lens for wide-field shots.
The Canon 7D shots were automated though Eclipse Orchestrator, which despite many rounds of practice, gave me a few problems. Here is a screen shot showing the simulated progress of the eclipse and upcoming shots to be taken. I did not get the mount fully aligned in time and had to manually recenter the image every 5 to 10 minutes. Nonetheless, this automation was great for getting correctly timed partial-eclipse images and for high-rate imaging across the duration of totality.
Finally, the anticipated moment came. For me, totality was everything it was cracked up to be. There is just no comparison between a partial and total eclipse. In the minutes leading up to totality, we observed many of the classic effects. The temperature dropped slowly (I measured a drop of 6 deg F), the wind kicked up, and the nature of the ambient light became indescribably strange. I tried but did not observe shadow bands on the white sheet we had spread out for the occasion. As totality closed in, I watched the last burst of light shrink down to the diamond ring and then get swallowed rapidly into the lunar disk leaving a black hole in the sky surrounded by the puffy white corona. I looked into the spotting scope and was blown away by the bright red prominences that I could see naked eye ... no H-alpha telescope needed. The event was over far too quickly, with the diamond ring reappearing and brightness returning in mere seconds.
I knew that the eclipse would be a fantastic experience but frankly had no idea how awe-struck I would be. Though the pictures I got were great, they in no way capture the experience of totality. I can see why a primitive culture would grovel in fear and ascribe apocalyptic meaning to such an event.
After the totality, both Ross and I let our cameras complete the imaging of the final sequence of partials while all but a few other doughty observers packed up and left. Some of our neighbors graciously took our family picture with our paper glasses on. Actually, this is the only time I used mine. I did my visual observing through binoculars and the spotting telescope which gave fantastic views.
Ross had cleverly remembered to bring some Corona Beers which we emptied out to respect the Boy Scout alcohol-free policy. We could not pass up the pun to toast the solar eclipse with "corona" beer.
At the end of the day, we decided it would not be prudent to dry camp again as we were all heat exhausted. Danielle was able to get us reservations at the KOA in Grand Island again for Monday night and we packed up for the short 5 mile drive there. That's right, Monday night we were booked in three different campgrounds.
The rest of our trip home was uneventful, though we did not stop at any of our previously booked sites. Instead, we ended up at a KOA in Wellington KS and then a night at the Eisenhower SP on lake Texoma in Texas. All told, we put over 2000 miles on the motorhome.
Once home, we began to process our images. Despite the clouds and technical screw-ups, we were both pleased with our results. During totality, I had taken a panorama of part of the 360 degree sunset we experienced. This view is towards the north-west in the direction from which the moon's shadow arrived. Our setup is at the right of the image where you can make out the glow of our laptops.
This next shot shows the Diamond Ring effect at the C3 contact point (end of totality). The sun is just peeking back out creating a brilliant glow but the corona is still visible. This is the point at which the solar glasses have to go back on. This image best represents my memory of the naked eye view of the sun.
An image taken moments before and with faster shutter speed show the Baily's Beads, a series of bright spots where the sun's bright photosphere peeks out between mountain peaks along the limb of the moon. The red glowing line is the thin chromosphere of the sun. You can also see several red prominences arcing out from the surface. These phenomenon go by very quickly so computer control of the camera was essential.
This next composite shows the Bailey's Beads at the beginning and end of totality as well as the prominences during totality.
The cloud cover made corona imaging more challenging. Despite this, I was pleased with the results. The image below is composed of nine different exposure levels from 1/200s down to 1.6s. I spent some time researching various imaging processing approaches and came up with a variation of the method described by F. Espenak which is based on high-pass filter created by subtracting from each image a spin-blurred copy of the same image. Each of exposures was separately processed this way and the difference images combined to show the overall "structure" of the corona. Faster exposures show the detail near the sun, slower exposures further from the sun. All of this processing was done in Photoshop using simple Apply Image commands and layer blending modes.
During the partial phases, I captured images though a solar filter made from Baader solar film. I combined these into one large composite, colorizing the partials. You can follow the time progression from left to right though with some artistic liberty as it does not show the moon's path crossing obliquely though the sun's path. Note the clouds passing over some of the image in the early part of the eclipse and two sets of sunspots!
The wide-field camera did not give me the images that I had originally planned. Rather than showing the planets and bright stars as I had hoped, it showed clouds. This turned out to be a great thing. The clouds dramatically captured the progression of the moons shadow passing over head as this sequence of images shows. Here, the second and fourth images correspond to C2 and C3 as the shadow crosses the sun. At totality, you can again see the sunset colors in the distance.
These frames are extracted from a series of shots taken every 1sec over a period of 7 minutes around totality. I used then used LRTimeLapse 4.7 to combine these into a video showing the progression of the shadow. I find this video to be fascinating.
Browsing on YouTube we found this drone video by Jim Ketchum that shows our campsite and our equipment setup on the parade grounds ...very cool! I hadn't even noticed the drone flying nearby.
We are now starting to plan for the 2024 eclipse that will pass through Texas. Though this one will give us over two minutes of totality at our house, we will make sure we have more contingency plans made ahead of time. There are several state parks that lie near the center line
You can read Ross's account on his blog which has a great 180 degree fish-eye view of the sky. Danielle posted her photos on Facebook.

Have you ever wanted to eat some of the lembas bread that Galadriel gave to the Fellowship of the Ring to fill their guts whilst on their long and arduous journey to destroy the One Ring? No? Me neither, but thanks to Jimmy Wong and his feastoffiction YouTube cooking show, LOTR fans can now make their very own Elven wonder bread.
Wong's version of lembas may not be able to fill your cavernous stomach for days on end like it does in the Tolkien novels, but considering the ingredients he used it'll definitely keep you full for a good part of the day. It also contains some ingredients to blow out your colon, so if you don't digest protein well you may want to back off on the 4 heaping scoops of whey protein in your lembas mix. Learn how to make lembas bread below, and if you try it out let us know what it tastes like. You've been needing an Elven meal to put some lead in your pencil…

1) All the track.ini files I've looked at so far have a grid row spacing of 10m, based on photographs of my track I'd estimated about 8m. Would this cause problems for the AI, or for human players starting closer together?
2) When my 3DO is compiled I get a stripe across the startline plus lines for each grid stall which are polygons in the 3DO file and have my error.mip texture applied, is it possible to lose these? I've noticed some other tracks don't seem to have these, have they been made invisible with a type 5 mip, used a matching texture to the asphalt, or maybe the polygons deleted from the 3DO at the end of the build?
3) At the moment my grid and startline are level and have textures applied using Unk 4 = 2 mapping. Will adding a slight slope mess up the mapping? I think read somewhere that type 2 mapping has problems near a trace with altitudes. Also will a slight backward slope cause problems at the start, I know I have to keep a foot on the brake at Spa but that's quite a steep incline.
Thanks in advance!

The International Supercomputing Conference (ISC'11) in Hamburg just ended yesterday, and there's plenty in terms of a video blog, social media feed, live-stream etc. to check out. There is quite some stuff happening in terms of hardware-developments in HighPerformanceComputing (HPC), also with respect to applications in the Life Sciences. Probably the main headline is that there is a new Nr.1: The new japanese supercomputer K (@ Riken) now packs more of a punch than the next five systems on the top500-list combined, displacing the Tianhe-1A, who took pole position last October.
However, some things have not changed:
* Linux is still the dominant OS
* Big Blue (IBM) still dominates the market, followed by HP and Cray
* The trend towards GPU acceleration continues (although the "K" doesn't use them)
* massively parallel processing (MPP) systems continue to increase their share

KBR Inc. declined from $36.70 to $14.00 (A-B), and settled in a horizontal trading range mostly between $16 and $20, followed by another range between $13 and $18 (dashed lines). This price action produced a bullish technical pattern called a Delayed Ending. The recent rise above $18.50-19.00 signaled a breakout from this formation, renewed investor interest and the start of a new up-leg (C). There is good support near ±$17.50, but only a sustained decline below ±$16.00 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements provide an initial target of $25. The large trading range supports significantly higher targets.

We consider our guests as household, which is why you possibly can assure you'll receive the best out there price whenever you book direct. When I seen this I went forward and appeared up (a play on phrases of a competing web site) whereas their room rate was barely greater, the taxes and charges have been 1/6 of that of and so the total was around 20% much less, so I knew it was extra fees" than taxes". If you are searching for a specific resort and see that it is full on the nights you need then make sure to test a second or third website as this could simply imply that the first websites' allocation of rooms has offered out, not that the whole lodge is booked full. If you are staying at a big resort it might be wise to check the hotel's official web site to search for additional charges that may be applied (e.g. a charge for utilizing the spa).
When booking a lodge for a family of 4, family of 5, or household of 6 then booking two resort rooms will often be cheaper than reserving one large household room. If you e-book a non-refundable lodge (learn the effective-print) you will never have the ability to cancel so make certain earlier than you reserve it. All taxes and fees (besides any relevant mandatory or resort fees collected by the lodge) are included. I even have found a score of 8.8 and above means the hotel will probably be wonderful (just about 5 star or exceptional worth for money). When looking for your perfect lodge at Expedia, our in-depth tools make it straightforward to browse rooms by hotel star score, by deal sort and availability, even by lodge brand. For example, if you send an e-mail saying something like this, I simply booked a room with your hotel on I needed to substantiate my booking and be sure to did not need any more data.
The largest danger with reserving by means of a resort reserving site is not that you'll be scammed out of your cash by an illegitimate enterprise (the entire websites that I record in here are reputable) however that they'll overbook your lodge and you will get an e-mail just a few weeks earlier than your stay saying that your room shouldn't be accessible.
If you show you care about your reserving, your room, and your keep – then your lodge will too. It's typically of little cost to the lodge to serve one other buffet breakfast however this generally is a enormous savings for you particularly over the course of per week or prolonged stay. Hotel booking sites will not be capable to supply particular offers based mostly on length of keep. Search by destination, by neighborhood, procuring areas, landmarks and even airport proximity – we make finding the proper resort as easy and as frustration-free as may be. It's some of these assurances which have helped Expedia develop into the world's largest online lodge reserving site – 31 million global vacationers sturdy. Reviews on are from verified guests (individuals that truly booked a room via the website at that lodge).
These serve to obscure the true value of the resort room so a direct comparability to the rate one other visitor paid can't easily be made. The catch is that if you guide two hotel rooms inns often won't guarantee that they're beside each other – so for those who do find a large family suite at a very good charge that is typically your best option. Hotels supply these rooms to resort consolidators in order that the price reductions don't mirror straight on the resort itself.

Doctors' storytelling evening the right kind of medicine
A 75-seat theater just off Union Square was filled with doctors on Thursday night, and thankfully, everyone in attendance turned their pagers off. "The Nocturnists" is the brainchild of 28-year-old Dr. Emily Silverman, a second-year resident in internal medicine at UCSF who wrangled nine of her colleagues into telling incredibly interesting medical stories on stage.
"As an internist, there are so many things that happen to me that I don't even remember," said Silverman. "It's just like boom, boom — one emergency after the next. I wish I had written some of it down. There are so many stories that went untold and went unprocessed. This is a good way to do that."
Silverman began processing her experiences on a haunting and often powerful blog she calls the Nocturnists. January brought the first live version to a San Francisco stage, and included a collection of doctors sharing short stories with a tiny audience. Silverman hopes to produce a third show in August.
"At the last event," said Silverman, "I had residents come up to me and tell me that they feel more connected to their patients and their jobs after hearing the stories, and that was really awesome."
'A UCSF thing'
Dr. Joe Letourneau was not nervous about sharing his story at Thursday's show. Sitting in the upstairs bar of the Shelton Theater just before curtain, Letourneau was excited. "I grew up in a fishing village in Michigan, and storytelling was just a way of life."
As he chatted, the popular 32-year-old OB/GYN fellow was frequently approached by UCSF colleagues offering encouragement. Letourneau said that much of the crowd could be found in any of the hospital's doctor lounges. "This is very much a UCSF thing," he said, motioning to the audience.
"This is a great way to debrief about the crazy stuff we see," he acknowledged.
Letourneau's two-part tale was indeed hilarious, and included his true story of a woman who recited a version of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech as she tried to give birth.
Half of the night's stories were laugh-out-loud funny. Others were thoughtful ruminations on patient care; one doctor connected his past as a sex worker to his present work; and a handful were truly sad. Dr. Marcia Glass, a 40-year-old associate professor, discussed the loss of a former student and friend who had recently died.
"At the first 'Nocturnists,' I was going to talk about her," said Glass. "But then she died right before, and I had to go to her funeral."
Patients shouldn't be worried that their doctors are sharing their stories at open-mike nights — well, at least not this one. "There are a lot of different ways to protect confidentiality. Some patients actually sign a (privacy authorization) form," said Silverman.
"Nocturnists" storytellers also maintain confidentiality by changing names and details about their patients, and obviously by using their best judgment. It was clear on Thursday night that all the storytellers had the utmost respect and affection for their patients.
"I've been very private about the fact that I write," said Dr. Krishna Chaganti, a 43-year-old rheumatologist. When Silverman discovered that her co-worker had a creative side, she roped Chaganti into joining the lineup. "At first I thought this would be sort of anonymous," said Chaganti, looking around the Shelton Theater. "But then I realized that I know other people here besides my husband."
Great entertainment
Along with her co-producer, Dr. Ali Block, Silverman hopes to one day turn "The Nocturnists" into a podcast. "As things happen and unfold in the hospital, you hear people say that'd be a great story for 'The Nocturnists,' and that makes me happy," said Silverman.
Caring, funny, passionate doctors sharing their best, brief medical stories makes for really great entertainment. Silverman's colleagues agree that she's on to something. "I almost kinda have to share this," said Chaganti. "It helps me not be a cranky, horrible person."

In the case of OpenDCRE failures or errors, it is helpful to know how some basic debugging steps.
Startup Errors¶
As covered in the subsequent sections here, OpenDCRE logs out to files within the container. One exception to this
is for errors on container startup. In addition to logging out to file, it logs out to stderr of the container
(pid 1), so it is accessible via
docker logs. If a startup error should occur, the OpenDCRE container should
terminate. In this case, it is often prudent to check the docker logs first to see if there is any information
pertaining to a startup error.
docker logs opendcre
A startup error likely will only happen if there is a serious misconfiguration, or if building a custom OpenDCRE image, something was changed to break the initialization process.
Enabling Debug Logging¶
By default, production logging is enabled (logging at an ERROR level). To run things in "debug" mode, where DEBUG level
logs are collected, simply run the container with the environment variable
VAPOR_DEBUG set to
true. This can be
done in the docker command
docker run -p 5000:5000 -e VAPOR_DEBUG=true vaporio/opendcre
or via composefile
image: vaporio/opendcre
- 5000:5000
- VAPOR_DEBUG=true
With debug logging enabled, there will be two sets of logs captured – the error logs (same as the production logs), and the debug logs.
Examining Log Files¶
There are two primary methods for accessing a container's logs:
docker exec and
docker cp.
docker exec¶
docker exec requires the container to be running. If the container has terminated and you need to get at the
logs, this is not the method that should be used. To exec into a container interactively,
docker exec -ti <name or id of container> /bin/bash
This will drop you into the working directory of the container,
/opendcre. From there, navigate to
/logs, where
all of the container logs are kept.
docker cp¶
docker cp can be done when the container is running or when it has terminated. It is used to copy the logs
from the container file system to the host file system.
docker cp <name or id of container>:/logs <host copy destination>
This will place the log files on the host system at the specified location.

Real Madrid sends goalkeeper Lunin on loan to Leganes
MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid is loaning 19-year-old goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to Leganes until the end of the season.
Madrid signed the Ukrainian earlier this year but did not plan to use him in the main squad.
Keylor Navas has been the team's starter in goal even after the club signed Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois following the World Cup.
The other goalkeepers currently in the squad are Kiko Casilla and Luca Zidane, son of former Madrid player and coach Zinedine Zidane.
Leganes, based in Madrid's suburbs, is playing its third straight season in the first division.

Yesterday, responding to Rep.-elect Andy Harris' (R-MD) hypocritical demand for government-sponsored benefits, Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) began circulating a letter among his Democratic colleagues calling on Harris and other members of Congress who want to repeal the new health care law to forego their own government health care plans. In a letter to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Crowley writes, "If your conference wants to deny millions of Americans affordable health care, your members should should walk that walk."
This morning, a caller to C-SPAN's Washington Journal asked Rep.-elect Mike Kelly (R-PA) — who also opposes the health care law — if he would be willing to give up his government-sponsored health insurance. Kelly said that he would:
KELLY: There is no reason for anybody to get anything different than anybody else. I personally have always paid for my own health care… why should my pension as a public official be any different from anyone else's pension? Why should my health care, as a public official, be any different than anybody else's? No, level across the board. […]
Q: So will you have a Congressional plan?
KELLY: No, I do not need. I got my own plan, I don't need a congressional plan. I've taken care of myself for a long time.
Watch it:
The Congressional health care system — the Federal Employees' Health Plan (FEHBP) — is very similar to the Exchanges established in the Affordable Care Act. Like federal employees, beginning in 2014, many Americans will be able to choose coverage from a series of private options competing for their business within a new health care market place — the state-based exchange.
Kelly, however, will not have that choice of enrolling in an FEHBP plan by 2014 and could have coverage that is "the same as everyone else's." Under a Republican amendment to the Affordable Care Act, "the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available" to Members of Congress and congressional staff" are "health plans that are I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or (II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act."
Rep.-elect Bobby Schilling (R-IL) has also opted out of the FEHBP, telling ABC's Top Line that he's bringing his own health care plan to Washington D.C.:

Stream management plans, water issues on tap for Feb. 7 meeting
Learn how rural, mountain communities across Colorado are dealing with water shortages, buy-and-drys, augmentation plans and other water-related issues at a special presentation by the Colorado Cattlemen's Association Ag Water Network and the Colorado Ag Water Alliance.
The presentation, sponsored by the San Isabel Land Protection Trust, will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Cliff Lanes/Rancher's Roost community room, 25 Main St., in Westcliffe. It is free and open to the public.
Presenters Greg Peterson and Phil Brink will share information about stream management plans that have benefited rural and agricultural communities. They'll also talk about negative consequences for communities where plans were done without local leadership.
A well-developed stream management plan uses biological, hydrological and other data to assess water flows or other physical conditions needed to support human and environmental values identified by the community. The Colorado Water Plan calls for 80 percent of locally prioritized rivers to be covered by stream management plans by 2030.
The Colorado Ag Water Alliance and Colorado Cattlemen's Association Ag Water Network are working to inform the agricultural community about these plans and to support agriculture-oriented groups that want to lead the planning effort.
For more information, call Linda Poole at San Isabel Land Protection Trust, 719-783-3018.

Goods shortages see vendors selling smuggled items after dark as the country deals with huge unemployment and a chaotic economy.
Sunday 14 October 2018.
By John Sparks, Africa correspondent
Faced with its worst economic crisis in a decade and an unemployment rate of 90%,
They come out after dark all over Zimbabwe, when the local police have gone home for the evening, because selling things on the street is the only way to make a living.
Their wares are perched on scraggly bits of cardboard or displayed in the boots of battered-looking cars.
Vegetables sourced from local gardens sit alongside sugar smuggled in from Mozambique and washing powder secreted from South Africa.
What have we become as people.
The rich rob the poor to get where they want to acquire more wealth.
Poor leadership here no integrity.
Zimbabwe is struggling to pay its bills and its domestic currencies have fallen in value.
Zimbabwe is fast becoming a nation of street vendors.

Your Guide To Choosing The Perfect Protective Case
Choosing the perfect laptop case can be difficult. Especially if you're not sure about what exactly you're looking for. Although laptop cases generally have the same purposes, not all are beneficial. If you're planning on buying a case soon, here are a few pointers you might want to take note of:
1. Make sure the case fits your device
- A case is useless if it does not fit your device well. The small empty space actually damages your device even more. Since your Mac rubs on the case every time you move, there are more chances of the aluminium finish to get scratched. In addition, a wide case cannot do its purpose of shock proofing your device.
- This is why before purchasing a MacBook case you have to make sure that it fits like a glove. Test the case whether it hugs every corner of your device. The corners are usually the most vulnerable parts of the Mac since it's the one that mostly bumps into things.
2. Choose the best material for your mac
- Different cases are made out of different materials. Each material has its own benefits. To choose the perfect case for your Mac, find one that works well with how you mostly use your device.
a. Silicone – Silicone cases are known for their tight fitting design. It hugs every corner of your device giving it a sleek and compact fit. Silicones are also great for impact damage as well as water protection. These materials are long lasting because of its rubber like composition which is not easy to destroy.
b. Leather – Leather cases have basically the same benefits as silicone cases. However, leather made cases are more stylish and professional looking. These cases are more expensive compared to other choices. Although expensive, a leather case gives your Mac a unique design.
3. Quality over Style
- Make sure you get your money's worth. Find cases that are long-lasting and durable. If clothes have "comfort over style", expensive gadgets such as your Mac have "quality over style". If you want your device to last long and remain spotless, invest on the best accessories. Don't go for something that only looks good. Always put quality first.
- Do extra research or ask about the materials used. Inquire whether it's the best choice or not. This way you can make sure your Mac gets the best protection there is.
4. Know when to replace a case
- Sooner or later your MacBook case will also wear out. Just make sure that you know when to keep it or when it's already time to replace it. A damaged and old case will no longer do your Mac any good. If you're thinking of the cost of regularly replacing your case, take note that a broken laptop is more expensive to repair than buying a case to prevent the damage.
Keep your Mac protected with the perfect laptop case. Purchasing the right case will save you lots of money as well as time and effort. If you know exactly what you're looking for, it will be easier to find a case for your device. These pointers should help you in your next purchase. Happy shopping!

When Ashley and I decided to head to the French Riviera we knew we had to squeeze in a little beach time. After doing a bit of research we settled on spending the day in Cannes. Checking out some of the private beaches we found the beach at Hotel Barrière Le Majestic. This beach was stunning and looked like the perfect spot to live like a Hollywood celeb for the day. In fact during the Cannes film Festival this hotel becomes packed with celebrities. "Last year, Robert De Niro, Matthew McConaughey, Jane Fonda and Paris Hilton were seen enjoying the French Riviera fun from this historic hotel," according to Forbes. So if you're looking for the ultimate VIP beach experience in Cannes keep on reading.
Perfect Beach Day Hotel Barrière Le Majestic
At Hotel Barrière Le Majestic there is basically a few options for beach fun. You can opt to get chairs on the beach, on the jetty and front row on the jetty. Wanting to get the full lux experience and a killer view we opted for front row on the jetty. While pricier than the other options the view is what you pay for and it was worth every penny. The jetty has direct access to the water where you can dip in to cool off and refresh. Otherwise sit back and watch the yachts cruising back and fourth.
Tip: By 11 am the jetty was packed so do make a reservation ahead of time.
We spent the whole day on the jetty relaxing and tanning. We ordered lunch from the restaurant and got some delicious drinks. If you're wondering where to spend a day at the beach in Cannes, you can't get any better than at Hotel Barrière Le Majestic. The beach is stunning and the drinks are yummy. It was the perfect day lounging in Cannes and we highly recommend a beach day at Hotel Barrière Le Majestic. You can find pricing Here.

Inspiring Change Through Literature and Media
And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day? ' Mat 20:6 (ESV)
When your prayers go unanswered
And your miracle is late in coming…
Should the Lord bring your answer
At the eleventh hour
Would He still find you standing…?
And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Heb 6:11-12 (ESV)
Lord, when I experience delayed answers to my prayer, please strengthen my heart and keep me in faith. Keep me praying. Keep me trusting. Keep me hoping. Keep me serving.
And when You do eventually appear with my miracle at the whatever hour, may You find me still standing in faith, hope and confident assurance with patience. Amen.

A Lehigh County girl preparing a 3-mile swim to raise money for diabetes research will be featured this morning on CNN.
CNN recently taped an interview with 9-year-old Carly Lenett that's scheduled to air between 8 a.m. and noon on the cable news channel. Carly, who resides with her family in Lower Macungie Township, talks about living with Type 1 diabetes and the Sept. 20 swim at Emmaus High School during the interview, according to her father, Mitch Lenett.
The segment is scheduled to air a second time at 2 p.m. Thursday. A longer version of the interview will broadcast this weekend during Dr. Sanjay Gupta's show on HLN, one of CNN's sister channels.
To learn more about Carly Lenett's cause and how to support her swim, visit
Kristy Kowal, who won an Olympic silver medal in the 200-meter breaststroke at the Sydney games, will join Carly for the roughly 200-lap swim. Sponsored by Pennsylvania Foot and Ankle Associates, the fourth-grader's goal is to raise $15,000 for the American Diabetes Association.
Carly also is raising money for the cause as this year's Lehigh Valley Step Out Walk youth ambassador. That event is scheduled Oct. 4 at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown.
So far, Carly has raised more than $12,000 and is on track to hit her goal by the swim, said Lenett, who also has Type 1 diabetes. His daughter was diagnosed with diabetes at 3 and, with guidance from her dad and doctors, learned to check her blood sugar levels and otherwise manage the disease a few years later.
Carly was born with an affinity for the water and has been swimming laps since she was 4 years old, Lenett said. Some people soothe their fussy babies with car rides, but that didn't work for his infant daughter, he said.
"Nothing soothed her except being in the water, so we'd put her in the bath tub and she'd calm right down," Lenett said.
The family was preparing to participate in the diabetes walk a few years ago when Carly asked, "Can I swim the walk?" her father recalled. He told her, "No, you have to walk the walk."
That comment got Lenett and Carly's mom thinking about a swim to raise money for diabetes, so they pitched the idea to their daughter, who was "ecstatic," he said. The event grew from there.
This is Carly's third annual long-distance swim for a diabetes cure. She raised more than $9,000 by swimming 100 laps in 2012 and another $11,000 by swimming 110 laps in 2013.
Emmaus High swim coach Tim O'Connor and his team members were instrumental in helping to grow the event, Lenett said. O'Connor's relationship with Kowal led to her involvement with Carly's swim.
Carly decided to swim 3 miles this year because it's the event's third year and because her diabetes diagnosis came at age 3, her father explained. "The number three was pretty significant for us."

President Trump said in a tweet on Friday that the women confronting senators in the halls of the Senate about their support of Brett Kavanaugh are "paid professionals" with "identical signs...[p]aid for by Soros and others."
Why it matters: The far-right frequently ties George Soros to moments of political discourse as a way to explain unrest, and doesn't shy away from labeling protestors "crisis actors." The fact is that in the last few years, widespread protests have become more frequent over heated political moments, and Friday's vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation is no exception.

Green waste plant and education centre near Keynsham get go-ahead
Plans for a £5.5 million green energy facility near Keynsham that will provide enough power and heat for 2,500 homes have been given the go-ahead.
Plans for a £5.5 million green energy facility near Keynsham that will provide enough power and heat for 2,500 homes have been given the go-ahead.
Bath and North East Somerset Council has given the green light to proposals to create an anaerobic digestion plant at Queen Charlton Quarry, along with an education centre.
It will treat half of the district's total food waste, extracting methane gas and converting it into electricity in a process that also creates a sustainable fertiliser for farmers as a by-product.
The education centre will aim to teach students, businesses and organisations more about energy from waste and about new green technologies.
The plan has been drawn up by local organics recycling business ReOrganics Ltd and a group of investors and green energy experts called Resourceful Earth.
Spokesperson Jo Downes said there was a great deal of support for the project locally.
She said: "ReOrganics established a local residents' liaison group a few years ago and they meet on a regular basis. The group are extremely supportive and have been involved in plans from the word go.
"The anaerobic digestion facility will replace the open-air composting facility and is a natural evolutionary approach from simply composting organic waste to tapping into all the resources that organic waste can offer, methane gas being one. Green energy is a much-needed commodity and it feels great to be part of a solution to the pressing energy issue facing us locally and globally."
The entire process will be enclosed, with lorries delivering waste through an air lock into the building and around three HGVs entering and leaving the site each hour, the developers say.

Trouble in the gold market?
Analysts see move to manipulate prices
By Jon E. Dougherty
c 1999 WorldNetDaily.com
Whether influenced by uncertainties stemming from Y2K
or because global financial markets took a dramatic
turn for the worst, most gold analysts agree that 1998
was a "record year" for sales. So far, in 1999, record
buying has not subsided, according to the U.S.

To worry about the current low price of gold today is
the wrong approach since Y2K will take care of these
temporary price issues.
It is my opinion after 2 1/2 years and 3500 hours of
research and lectures that gold prices will have no
problem in advancing this Fall through the year 2000.

Although perhaps at first glance this book may seem a little childish it is in actual fact a classic. The Doll people are like the borrowers except they don't 'borrow' anything. In fact they can't, if they did they might end up in permanent doll state and that would even more boring than being an alive doll. Annabel is eight years old, at least that's the age Kate wanted her to be. In fact Annabel had been eight for over a hundred years, however the only interesting thing that had happened to her in her whole life time was when Aunt Sarah went missing, that was around forty years ago.
This book has a very interesting take on how dolls live and it is not as free and easy as we might imagine. Unlike many other authors who have written about living toys this author describes it in a way that makes it feel like it could be true. Dolls who make the promise have to be careful, not every toy is alive and if they make too many mistakes or are spotted too many times then they could end up like that too. The danger is that after you've been living over a hundred years there are plenty of opportunities to be spotted whilst moving or when you are out of place.

text: First Responders Need Our Help Dec. 07, 2018 Facebook Website Bio Latest News State Forms Photo Gallery Contact The Weekly Roundup The latest news from the State Capitol First Responders Need Our Help With fire and ambulance services continuing to struggle across the Commonwealth, a 39-member commission created by lawmakers to study the situation has issued dozens of recommendations. You can read the commission's report here. Statistics show the number of volunteer firefighters has shrunk from about 300,000 in the 1980s to 38,000 today. Ambulance services are facing similar challenges for both volunteers and paid staff, leaving communities potentially vulnerable in emergency situations. To reverse this trend, the commission suggests several strategies to boost recruitment and retention, including providing Length of Service Award Payments (LOSAP) and other benefit programs, funding basic fire and EMS training at the state level, and offering incentives to employers to permit trainees to attend fire and EMS training. To further enhance training accessibility, the commission recommends including public safety as a trade/career preparatory program at career and technical education centers across the state and restoring funding for public safety training courses at community colleges. Action on recommendations in the report would build on two important initiatives enacted earlier this year to boost funding for the state's ambulance services: increasing Medicaid reimbursements for Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support services and requiring both private insurers and Medicaid to reimburse for treatment provided regardless of whether transport takes place. Remembering President George H.W. Bush A grateful nation said its final farewell to former President George H.W. Bush this week. The 41st president laid in state at the Capitol prior to his state funeral, held Wednesday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Bush was also a decorated naval aviator in World War II, a congressman, a director of the CIA and vice president to President Ronald Reagan. In his honor, flags in the state of Pennsylvania will fly at half-staff for the remainder of the year. Economic Update The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's General Fund revenue collections for November were nearly $100 million greater than anticipated. Collections so far this fiscal year are also higher than expected. Learn more here. Get Your 2019 Fishing License!

Anyone who's ever worked out in the morning knows it's a surefire way to feel amazing all day long, but the benefits don't stop there! Putting in strong work during the early hours of the day helps with everything from eating more healthily to burning more fat to sleeping more soundly.
Working out in the early morning could improve your relationship with food and overeating throughout the rest of the day! According to a study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the brains of women who performed physical activity for 45 minutes in the morning were less stimulated by images of food.
Most of us have heard that our bodies continue burning calories even after a workout (especially one that uses slow-twitch muscle fibers like HSM | Core). What's more, as you eat throughout the day, your metabolism is still working hard and using that food as a source of energy, rather than storing it for later (and eventually turning into adipose tissue, AKA fat).
Better sleep is another side effect of a refreshing morning sweat sesh. The National Sleep Foundation notes 7:00 a.m. gym-goers "sleep longer, experience deeper sleep cycles, and spend 75 percent more time in the most reparative stages of slumber than those who exercise [at later times]."
Last but not least, scheduling your workouts for the morning means you can't blow off your fitness at the end of a long work day (we've all been there), so sign up for your next early morning burn here!

While you may prefer the amped-up sound of rap and rock for a good time with your friends, with dinner it's different. If you find your guests are tapping their feet to the beat and playing air guitar at the table, your playlist is wrong. A background music dinner-party playlist should include songs that don't thump or crescendo too much and as a whole it should flow well into one another. The goal is to allow your guests to calmly enjoy the taste of all that hard work you put into preparing the food and participate in conversation without having to raise their voice over the music.

It is not a fad. There is not a drop of green juice in sight, and we are not even talking quiona salads here. A sattvik diet is what most of us grew up on — before we turned into calorie-crunching gym rats.
Like well-known nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar describes it on Twitter, "Sattvik food is simple, sensible and seasonal."
Ragi has been cooked in most Indian homes in some form or the other, as have other whole grains such as sorghum and millet. Seasonal fruits and vegetables has always been preferred over the imported variety. Samreedhi Goel, a Mumbai-based nutritionist and fitness expert, says, "Sattvik means pure, and the diet is, hence, filled with unprocessed, unadulterated and unrefined food. It is also a lacto-vegetarian diet — which ensures that none of the tastes (salty, sugary, pungent, bitter, spicy and astringent) are overemphasized — and improves energy levels."
Ramesh Patel, secretary of Sristi — the organization that hosts the festival every year — says, "Indian adivasis are healthy because their diet is sattvik. It has none of the processed and refined foods that people eat in the cities — and it has been our mission to popularize grains and foods that they eat, including millets, jowar, ragi, and those whose fibre content is high."
"Those who attend the festival shouldn't expect to eat khichu, bhajiyas and dhoklas here," says Patel, referring to some popular Gujarati snacks. Instead, expect a menu that will include the known, and the completely unknown — from Bajra rotis to aloe vera flower stir fry. To finish up, there's cactus ice-cream too.
The Sattvik Food Festival is an attempt to reintroduce a food movement, which is not dependent on rice, wheat and refined flour for a staple diet. It is a 3-day event being held at the IIM campus from January 9 – January 11. A turnout of 75,000 foodies is expected at the festival, which will include 84 stalls that will showcase over 400 different dishes from across the country.

United Technologies Beats Expectations
United Technologies Corp. reported a 7 percent increase in first-quarter earnings Thursday, beating Wall Street expectations, as the sale of elevators and military aerospace technology offset losses in the slumping commercial aerospace market.
UTC, whose subsidiaries make Sikorsky helicopters, Pratt & Whitney jet engines, Carrier air conditioners and Otis elevators, earned $502 million, up 7.5 percent from $467 million in the same period in 2002.
Per-share earnings rose to $1 from 92 cents, beating estimates of 97 cents from analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call.
The company's stock was down $2.09 at $60.18 in mixed morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Revenues rose 5 percent to $6.7 billion from $6.37 billion in the same period a year ago.
Otis was the most profitable UTC division, posting earnings of $314 million, up 34 percent from $234 million in the same period in 2002.
Company officials said a 20 percent decline in commercial aerospace sales was offset by a 30 percent increase in military aerospace revenue. They attributed the decline to world events, including the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS.
"Our commercial airline customers are challenged as never before with the post-Sept. 11 and Iraq war environments in the U.S. and the SARS outbreak in Asia," said George David, chairman and chief executive officer.
David predicted full-year earnings in the $4.55 to $4.80 per share range, which is consistent with Wall Street expectations.

An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo.
Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes.
To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)
Internet Explorer Conditional Comments
These liquid layouts contain an Internet Explorer Conditional Comment (IECC) to correct two issues.
- Browsers are inconsistent in the way they round div sizes in percent-based layouts. If the browser must render a number like 144.5px or 564.5px, they have to round it to the nearest whole number. Safari and Opera round down, Internet Explorer rounds up and Firefox rounds one column up and one down filling the container completely. These rounding issues can cause inconsistencies in some layouts. In this IECC there is a 1px negative margin to fix IE. You may move it to any of the columns (and on either the left or right) to suit your layout needs.
- The zoom property was added to the anchor within the navigation list since, in some cases, extra white space will be rendered in IE6 and IE7. Zoom gives IE its proprietary hasLayout property to fix this issue.
By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.
