Some are lucky enough to be born into money. Others are born into fame. For Doug Carter, the universe gifted him to being born into a family whose father was a rep for model maker AMT.
"I had a boy's best toys. My dad was a factory representative for AMT model cars. Cars were bred into my early existence and developed to a full scale, life-long hobby."
At 17, Doug finally got his parents blessing to buy a real set of wheels. But like most car-hungry teenagers, his available funds fell far short of what his eyes could take in. He wanted a three-speed equipped '55-'57 hardtop so bad he could taste it, but his wallet steered him to his second choice, a '57 sedan delivery for sale at Portland, Oregon's, House of Hardtops.
"Canary Yellow paint, 283, 4-speed and chrome reversed rims. What wasn't to like? Well, it was called a 'panel wagon' and I didn't know it was really a sedan delivery until months later. Dared to be different by default."
After finding more profitable employment, Doug was able to add a set of Torque Thrust mag wheels, an L79 crate engine from nearby Lyman Slack Chevrolet, and had the delivery's interior redone by Portland Roadster Show celeb Mark Tomlinson. Soon Doug had the best (and only) '57 sedan delivery in the Portland area.
"It took some time, but the locals finally came around and, to be sure, there was not another sedan delivery to be found in the Portland area. It was fast, light, and great on dates."
Not wanting to spend his life working in a northwest sawmill, Doug sold the delivery to buy a more economical VW and pay for his college tuition. It would prove to be a fruitful decision, as his engineering education led Doug to work for various manufacturing companies, including the maker of Proto hand tools.
Several decades later, he was perusing a copy of Hemmings Motor News when he spotted an ad for a '57 sedan delivery for sale in La Mesa, California. Unable to resist the "what if" fantasies dancing through his mind, Doug headed south from Portland to check the car out. The seller claimed it was a bone-stock original, with a 283 and three-speed. But inspection of the VIN tag showed it originally left the factory with a 235 I-6, and the numbers stamped on the 283 showed it had been originally mated to a Powerglide. This gave Doug negotiating room on the price, and soon after the car arrived at his door in January of '93.
The delivery went to Steve Frisbee of Frisbee's Auto Restorations, where it was stripped down, blasted clean, and new rockers, floors, and panel repairs begun. Evidence of a major front end collision was discovered, as the firewall now had a slight parallelogram shape to it. But this was fixed, and some further body work completed.
A job transfer sent Doug to Florida, and it wasn't until he could get a new home shop built that the '57 ventured east too. It would languish untouched for years, until a chance encounter at a Super Chevy Show in Gainesville, Florida, led Doug to Steve Cooley of Steve Cooley Motors in Homosassa, Florida. It wasn't long before the delivery ended up at Steve's shop, and work began again.
Cooley worked and massaged the body until it was straight and all the gaps perfect. Then he laid down primer, followed by the car's two-tone hue of 2004 Corvette LeMans Blue and Sand Effect. Here's what Doug had to say about the overall design of the car when it came to paint and body.
"The car's overall design was assisted by Steve Brost in Portland, and a color rendering was produced for the final look. The trick was how to produce a two-tone sedan delivery and visually stretch the big, boxy body. The coincidental solution was original trim from other 1957 Chevrolet models which were supplied and modified by Cliff's Classic Chevrolet of Portland, Ore. The door spears were NOS pieces from a '57 150 model four-door, and shortened 4 inches. The beltline stainless was taken from a '57 210 model 2-door wagon. The paint dividers came from a 150 model 2-door 'Handyman' wagon, which were lengthened and located on the doors allowing a long horizontal 2nd color paint band, stretching and lowering the look of the car. They were swapped side-to-side for a forward look. Perfect, and all '57. Wanting to 'float' the grill bar and highlight the rare one-piece front bumper, the grill bar was recessed 1 ½-inches on new brackets, eliminating the original grille screen. The radiator and AC condenser were painted black to avoid having a bright aluminum background behind the grille opening to further the float effect."
Such a stunning body deserved an equally impressive drivetrain. That started with a Kimbridge frame with an assortment of A and G-Body parts from CPP, Performance Suspension, Global West, and Ridetech installed. The four-link rear suspension is from Ridetech, connected to a 9-inch rear and rebuilt with upgraded axles and 3.55 gears. The brakes are Baer binders at all four corners.
For an engine Doug started with a partial 502 crate motor. The heads were sent to Precision Porting of Hudson, Florida, to be worked over, and a Crane roller cam installed with Crower rockers and Comp Cams custom length pushrods. A SpeedDemon carb sits on an Edelbrock AirGap intake, and ignition handled by an MSD Pro Billet distributor. Accessory drive is a Vintage Air Front Runner system. The trans is a built 700-R4 by Fourth Gear in Eustis, Flotida, and exhaust is disposed of through Williams' Classic Chassis Works two-inch headers, through Magnaflow mufflers.
The delivery rolls on Budnik Cannon wheels, 18x8 front and 19x9 rear, wrapped in Falken FK 452 tires, 245/40-18 front, 255/40-19 rear.
Inside the delivery is plush, with '67 GTO seats wrapped in leather behind a Flaming River steering column, and a custom built console between them. Dale VanCuren of Unlimited Designs in Dade City, Florida, handled the stitch work. Classic Instruments readouts keep tabs on the big-block, while an American Autowire harness powers everything. The pedals are Lokar, and the rear cargo area was covered in a combo of tan leather and carpet to match the front cabin.
Since completed the car has won numerous awards, including a Chip Foose's pick from a select 100 at the Year One-Chip Foose Braselton Bash in 2010, and in 2012 the car won the Gold Class award at the Palm Beach International Raceway Super Chevy Show.
Not bad for a car that started out life as a mundane workhorse. And for Doug Carter, it carriers on the legacy of his first sedan delivery.

How to get Lauren Conrad's easy beach waves
Beauty tutorials are big on YouTube -- a search for "makeup tutorial" and "hair tutorial" yields more than 5 million videos. In this weekly series, we put a mix of popular and under-the-radar tutorials to the test and show you what's best.
A few weeks ago, Lauren Conrad - the "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" star turned style, beauty and lifestyle mogul - called out Allure magazine, which featured her on the cover in April, for describing her signature beauty look "basic." As in "basic bitch?" Ouch.
Whether or not you agree with Allure's claim, there's no denying that Conrad has carved out a niche for herself in the highly-saturated beauty space. She runs a successful DIY site called The Beauty Department, as well as an eponymous online hub whose coverage runs the gamut from fitness to fashion -- not to mention she has a dedicated social media following with millions of fans across multiple platforms. So, it's safe to say she's doing something right, and one of those things is her go-to hairstyle of beachy, California girl waves that women everywhere (including myself) wish they could copy.
In a new tutorial on her site, Conrad breaks her look down into a few simple steps, which makes getting her enviable locks seem within the realm of possibility. As someone who's grown up with unruly curls that I've had to learn to tame - often with tools like a curling iron and lots of hairspray - this short video makes the years of trial and error I've faced seem pretty silly.
Conrad has a knack for making things look easy, and all you need to get her undone waves are some hair clips, a curling iron and some products (the ones she used in this case seem to have been given promotional consideration) that you likely already have in your arsenal. Plus, this method seems much less complicated than fiddling with hot rollers - something I am admittedly terrible at.
Basic or not, these curls are really damn pretty.

Compact food
I'm heading to Sungai Siput tomorrow after work, and Thursday I'll be hiking up Gunung Ulu Sepat! YAY! Ulu Sepat is the 7th G7 (G7 = top 7 highest mountain in peninsular Malaysia).
I can't stand having instant noodles and bread for all the days so I spent the last week busy preparing the menu and food stuff for our 3D2N hike. Watch out of my Gunung Fried Rice and my Vegetarian Curry soon! I even packed a mini wok up for cooking :p
Leaving you with some pictures of bad experiences in carrying food for the Gunungs.
(During my most remembered first Tabur West climb... rain and wind almost killed us) This originally is a triple layer sandwich. The whole sandwich flatten in my friends pack and turned out like this. A whole new meaning to compact food LOL!
Another climber friend was smart enough to pack his filling in a separate container... what surprised me was the flavor of the filling. Tuna + hard boiled eggs + mayo + salted egg + century egg + onions. What a combo!
Not learning his lesson from the "compact food", this same friend of mine took his lunch up to Gunung Datuk only using a styrofoam box. Habis lah... but still can makan lah. Susah sikit je.
Anyway, the most disappointing disaster is when you want to chill your booze in the cool running water...to later find out your cans are missing! Lesson learned, always make sure you secure your cans well if not the running water will push the cans afloat and off it goes with the current. Donated a couple of em booze to Kanching Falls.

Radio personality Piolin told to pay legal fees
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Spanish-language radio personality Piolin (Pee-oh-LIN') has been ordered to pay more than $100,000 in legal fees for six people he targeted in a failed lawsuit.
Lawyers for the six say a Los Angeles judge awarded attorneys' fees Tuesday.
Piolin, whose real name is Eddie Sotelo, had a long-running radio show called "Por la Manana" on Univision until it was abruptly canceled without explanation last year.
Sotelo later sued six former Univision employees, alleging they engaged in a $4.9 million extortion plot and false accusations of sexual harassment.
That suit was thrown out in March.
Sotelo, whose nickname means "Tweety Bird," now has a program on SiriusXM satellite radio.
A call to the attorney who handled his lawsuit, Jeffrey Spitz, wasn't immediately returned Wednesday.

|User Studies with MORAE - Information Experience Laboratory University of Missouri - 2 Part Course
2 Half Day Seminars, Friday, Oct. 24, 2008, 8:30am-12:30pm and 1:00-6:00pm (separate fees)
Two parts, each half day long, can be taken together or each separately
Each part of the workshop should be limited to approximately 25 participants
Researchers in information behavior, human-computer interaction and information retrieval often face difficulties in efficiently synchronizing, organizing, and analyzing rich data from users interactions with information systems. Morae, by TechSmith, is all-digital, user-experience testing software that was designed to replace complicated hardware setup making up a traditional usability laboratory.
With Morae a researcher can record several types of data streams from users interactions with a system, such as users voice, facial expressions, and detailed application and computer system data. Morae indexes the data recorded and makes it searchable so that the researcher can easily calculate various quantitative metrics: page changes, time-on-task, number of clicks, etc. In qualitative studies, a researcher can quickly find a specific point in a session recording, a task that is typically very time-intensive when working with analog recordings. Furthermore, because it is a software-based solution, Morae can be used to conduct research in various settings -- in a laboratory, an office, conference room, or any other natural user setting.
We believe that many users studies researchers would benefit from learning about Moraes capabilities and its application in various types of research design. While basic functional aspects of Morae can be gained from technical manuals, our workshop will be designed to introduce the basic features of Morae and then jump start the audience into research applications that are not readily presented in the technical literature.
Workshop audience:
Library and information science researchers, both novice and experienced, with interest in information behavior, information retrieval, human-computer interaction and other related areas that involve users and information systems.
Workshop organization & topics:
The workshop organizers will set up a mobile usability laboratory consisting of 4 networked notebook computers equipped with Morae. This set up has been already used by the organizers in prior training programs and has proven to be flexible and scalable for different types of presentation styles (lectures, demonstrations & hands on activities).
Part I (morning session): Introduction to Morae (8:30am - 12:30pm)
1. Technical specifications and system requirements
2. Conceptual description of three Morae components: Recorder, Manager & Viewer
3. Preparation of Morae settings for data recording
4. Remote viewing of real-time data collection with Morae
5. Marking recordings for data analysis
6. Creation of highlight videos of user recordings
7. Review of Morae application in LIS user studies
Topics 3-6 will include live demonstration and hands-on exercises.
Part II (afternoon session): Research applications of Morae (1:00pm-6:000pm)
8. Review of Morae functionalities
9. Task analysis with Morae
10. In-depth interviewing with think aloud protocol using Morae
11. Focus group data collection with Morae
12. Review of advanced research designs with Morae (remote data collection, distributed real time data coding, etc.).
Topics 2-4 will include live demonstrations and break up sessions for discussion.

Science meets football: Players swallow electronic monitors
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — At first, it was hard for University of North Carolina football player Kendric Burney to swallow.
They handed him a pill containing a battery, thermometer and radio transmitter and told him it would lodge in his intestine, where it would stick around for one to two days to measure his core body heat.
"I'm not going to lie. The thought of putting that in my stomach was just plain weird," the junior cornerback said.
But by gulping down the vitamin-size CorTemp capsule Tuesday morning, Burney and 17 other Tar Heel football players began sweating out data that will be used later this season to help determine whether higher body temperatures increase the possibility of concussions. UNC's coaches also plan to use the data to better regulate drills during practice and during games in heat that often reaches the high 90s through the early stretch of fall games.
"That allows us to monitor as coaches, 'How long to we want to do that particular type of drill?'" coach Butch Davis said. "What's appropriate for a receiver might not be appropriate for an offensive lineman. So I think it's brilliant."
The CorTemp pill -- a white, silicone-coated capsule big enough "that it feels like you're swallowing a gummy bear," according to offensive lineman Alan Pelc -- was originally developed by NASA to measure astronauts' body temperature in space. But over the last six years, scores of football teams -- including those at Duke, Virginia Tech, Texas, the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles -- have used the $40-per-pop doses to better learn how to beat the heat on the field.
It works like this: Players ingest the pills about five hours before practice; the removal of an attached magnet activates the battery. A device that looks like a remote control, held within six inches of the player, records the temperature via radio transmitter. (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is normal, around 104 degrees is the danger zone).
What's left of the pill is expelled within 24 to 48 hours; with most of it dissolved.
"Of course you can't feel it inside you once you swallow it, I guess it's like food," said running back Shaun Draughn. "The only way I really remember it was there is when people were reaching around me with that little thing, trying to get the reading."
The information gathered Tuesday can be used immediately to adjust the length of drills and water breaks, as needed. A broader, Gatorade-funded study, which still needs to be approved by UNC's Institutional Review Board, could supplement information gathered by other teams using the pill. For six years, Kevin Guskiewicz, chair of UNC's department of exercise and sports science, has inserted sensors in players' helmets to research how much G-force it takes in different impact locations for a player to sustain a concussion.
But symptoms of concussions, such as dizziness, headaches, nausea and blurred vision, overlap with heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. And there's long been a theory that dehydration could make concussions more likely, Guskiewicz said.
"Occasionally, during a two-a-day practice, we'll have a player come in complaining with symptoms, and we can't tell if he's dehydrated or if it's a concussion,'' Guskiewicz said. "When we don't know for sure ... we go back to the data from the helmet system, and if there's no registered impact of greater than 50 or 60 Gs, it's unlikely that it's a concussion.
"Now, we'll also be able to look at the data from the thermometer pill, and see how hot he got. And we'll also be able to compare the G-forces to the temperature, and try to correlate whether they get higher when the body temperature is hotter."
It could make for an important educational tool for coaches all over the country; according to National Center for Catastophic Sports Injuries at UNC, there were 10 brain-related football fatalities (all high school players) nationwide over the last two seasons.
To that end, Tar Heel players of different weights and positions plan to ingest the pills one more time during training camp, and twice more during this season.
Burney said he thinks the research is important, so he's willing to continue participating, even if it taxes his esophagus.
"They told me it was going to be the size of an Advil," he said of the pill, laughing. "But it was huge."

Unstoppable white-nose syndrome spreads to endangered gray bats
White-nose syndrome, the disease that's killed millions of insect-eating bats, keeps getting worse. It's made a thumb-sized bat rare in parts of New England and has spread through most of the Eastern U.S., as far west as Missouri. Now another species has it, the endangered gray bat of caves in the Southeast.
The loss of bats is serious because they provide natural pest control. They live throughout the country, and the disease could end up almost everywhere as well. In places where bat populations have been lost, it could be decades before they recover, scientists say.
The fungus that causes white-nose syndrome spreads in cold weather, when bats hibernate. Gray bats might be especially vulnerable because they hibernate in huge numbers in only a few caves. The mortality rate differs among species of bats that have the disease, but in some cases it's nearly 100 percent.
The gray bat was listed as being in danger of extinction in 1976, but its population had been growing. Although it's too early tell how hard white-nose syndrome will hit the gray bat, Paul McKenzie, the Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species coordinator for Missouri, said the discovery was "devastating news."
"Because gray bats hibernate together in colonies that number in the hundreds of thousands, (white-nose syndrome) could expand exponentially across the range of the species," McKenzie said Tuesday in a news release . A loss of gray bats also could destroy other cave-dwelling species that live off the bats' guano.
Biologists recently saw the tell-tale white fungus on the muzzles, tails and wings of several gray bats in Hawkins and Montgomery counties in Tennessee. The bat's main range, besides Tennessee, is Alabama, northern Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri.
First detected in Albany, N.Y., in 2006, white-nose syndrome spread through the Northeast and down the Appalachians. In the winter of 2010-11, it hit the Midwest. This March it was reported for the first time in Alabama and Missouri, and in Acadia and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. The disease is now found in four Canadian provinces and 19 states.
"Eventually the disease is going to spread across the country," said Ann Froschauer, a spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bats are the main nighttime predators of beetles and moths. Those insects and their larvae damage forests and crops, including cotton, tomatoes, corn, apples and cucumbers. A study last year estimated the loss to farmers at $3 billion a year or more.
"They're essentially the only nighttime predator of many of our agricultural and forest pests. They save us a lot of money," said Dave Waldien, a wildlife ecologist and the interim director of Texas-based Bat Conservation International.
Bats also eat mosquitoes, though not as their main source of protein, Froschauer said. "Mosquitoes are potato chips to bats."
No cure or way to stop white-nose syndrome has been found. Earlier this year, biologists estimated that 5.5 million to 6.7 million bats have died.
Waldien said the disease had been spreading to new states and filling in more areas of states it had reached in recent years.
In Maryland, for example, white-nose syndrome was found on some state property last year, and this year it was detected for the first time nearby in an abandoned mine in the C&O Canal National Historical Park, about 90 miles from Washington.
"We do suspect that it will slowly move to the West," Waldien said. "Right now it's hit the most obvious migration paths, and so further westward expansion should be a little slower unless humans inadvertently carry it."
The fungus was brought to the United States from Europe, where for some unknown reason it doesn't kill great numbers of bats. A cave visitor probably introduced it inadvertently.
It's named for the way the fungus grows around bats' noses, but it also grows and causes lesions on other parts of their bodies, including the wings. Dead bats appear to have starved. Bats with the fungus wake up from hibernation in winter – when there are no insects – and quickly use up the fat stores in their small bodies.
The United States has 46 bat species. Most already have been declining in numbers because of habitat loss, wind turbine collisions, pesticides and pollution. The disease previously had been found in six species, including the endangered Indiana bat.
The Fish and Wildlife Service is leading efforts to study the disease and try to stop it. It announced $1.4 million in research grants last month. The agency also has recommended closing caves so that people don't track in the fungus.
White-nose syndrome has been particularly devastating for the little brown bat, a species that makes up a huge chunk of the overall bat population and has a range throughout Canada and the United States except for the desert Southwest. Where its population has been measured, the death rate from white-nose syndrome is more than 90 percent.
Two years ago, a team of researchers made news when they reported in Science magazine that the little brown bat could become regionally extinct in 16 years.
Winifred Frick, the report's lead author, said she's now studying how the disease is transmitted. New findings could change the extinction estimate, she said. "We desperately hope we're wrong."
So far, however, extinction in a short time remains possible.
"The mortality rates have been catastrophic," she said.
Most North American bats hibernate. They swarm and mate in the fall, hibernate in caves or abandoned mines all winter, emerge in April and disperse for the summer. Females bunch up in maternity colonies, where they nurse their young and care for them until they're ready to fly.
Bats use the same hibernation and maternity colonies year after year. Scientists still have many questions about how far they travel, Frick said. Radio transmitters that are small enough for bats don't last long enough or work very well.
"In the Rockies and the West, we don't know where our bats go to hibernate," Frick said. "A lot of our species we never see in winter."
In the West, bats haven't been known to hibernate in clumps of hundreds of thousands, as in the East, she said. It may be that there are big gatherings and scientists just don't know where they are. But if bats are more dispersed in the West, the disease might pan out differently there, Frick said.
Bats are unusually long-lived for such small mammals. The little brown bat, for example, can live for more than 30 years. Unlike mice and rabbits, they're not speedy reproducers. Females generally have only one pup per year.
Froschauer and Waldien say they hear people talk about how they don't see bats anymore in places where white-nose syndrome has killed so many of them.
"People who used to sit on their porches with their children, watching the bats in the evening after a long day of work, say there are no bats here," Waldien said. "And it is very hard to recognize that they will never see them in their lifetime again."

A Mom's Guide to the Land of Lincoln
A story our kids should know
Mention Abraham Lincoln to little kids, and they pretty much think big hat. And pennies. Maybe something about slavery. Certainly not the focus of a cool summer getaway.
But as an Illinoisan, I can't help but think that the 16th president's story is one my 8-year-old son, Seth, ought to know.
Lincoln just might be history's best role model. He had a mind of his own and loved to read. He overcame prejudices to see race in a new way. Always humble, he stuck to his principles.
Lincoln's larger-than-life legend as the president who preserved the union and freed the slaves is almost too monumental to model. Illinois, which witnessed Lincoln's maturation from barefoot farm boy to president, has a human-scale story to tell.
I want Seth to hear it, and I want to make this a fun summertime road trip, so I ask my friend Kim and her 7-year-old daughter, Ella, to join us.
"What do you know about Honest Abe?" I ask the kids as we hit the interstate. "He became president and helped with slavery," Seth says. "He wears a tall hat," Ella offers. OK, then.
Pictured: Heading for the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln served as a member of the Illinois legislature.
Frontier life in New Salem
Our first stop: New Salem Historic Site in Petersburg, 20 miles northwest of Springfield. In 1831, a 22-year-old Lincoln moved to this town, a sort of frontier shopping center servicing farmers with a post office, cooperage, blacksmith, cobbler, general stores and tavern.
None of us had heard about this indecisive, six-year phase in Lincoln's life, when he dabbled as a store owner, postmaster, soldier and surveyor, all while impressing the locals with his good humor. But an entire village of re-enactors--weavers, blacksmiths, wool spinners, gardeners and more--helps us understand the era with a lively portrait of frontier life.
The kids connect by twirling the simple wood tops cherished by children of the era. We all take a lesson in multiplication at the "blab school," named for its oral lessons. "Twice one is two, the book is very new," we recite. "Twice two is four, throw it on the floor..."
Moms say Discovered Lincoln was a jack-of-all-trades. Loved the work and craft demonstrations, which illustrate the difficulty of living then.
Kids say Liked the people dressed up from olden times. But they talked like us, which seemed weird. We wish there would have been a house of Lincoln's here to look at.
A twilight 'ghost walk'
In Springfield, we meet guide Garret Moffett for a twilight walking tour. Holding a candle-lit lantern across from the imposing Old State Capitol, the dramatic Moffett promises a 90-minute walk from the building where Lincoln gave his "House Divided" speech, with haunted stories all along the way.
Kim and I are wary of the potential frights, but the kids are fascinated by descriptions of phantom carriages, Lincoln's premonition of his death and the attempted grave robbery at Lincoln's tomb.
Moms say Loved guide's in-depth knowledge. Storytelling in front of the Lincoln sites was transporting.
Kids say Kind of spooky, but cool. We learned Lincoln kept his letters in his hat.
More Lincoln lore
We're now immersed in Lincoln lore. We see the Old State Capitol and Lincoln's home.
We're fascinated by Lincoln's self-education and his versatility and surprised that he was a permissive parent. We hear that Lincoln allowed his boys to have ink-bottle fights at his law offices. When we tour Lincoln's home, Seth and Ella envision themselves roughhousing on the parlor floor.
Moms say Impressive building, a real step back in time to the place where Lincoln gave his famous "House Divided" speech in Springfield.
Kids say Cool dome. Loved climbing on the wrought-iron fence.
Moms say Lovely Springfield neighborhood for traffic-free strolls. Amazing period restoration inside the house; it looks like the 1860s.
Kids say I was so excited to be actually walking in a president's house! And I can't believe Lincoln had an outhouse!
Lincoln Home National Historic Site
Museum surprises
Throughout our trip, Ella has been quietly leaving pennies behind, like memorial tokens. But rather than leave one at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, she finds one on the marble floor, planted there for treasure-hunters like her, just the beginning of the surprises here.
A Tim Russert newscast dissects the four candidates for president in 1860. A gallery features the faces of dozens of people arguing about emancipation. The kids gape in disbelief at a re-creation of the tiny one-room cabin where Lincoln and 10 of his family members lived.
Somber rooms devoted to the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's casket give us a chance to talk to Seth and Ella about equality, dissent and sacrifice. When the conversation gets a little too deep, we retreat to Mrs. Lincoln's Attic, where kids can play with Lincoln Logs and try on period clothes.
Moms say Inventive presentations brilliantly tell the story of Lincoln's life. Expect weepy moments in the Gettysburg Address room and alongside the casket.
Kids say Ella: Love the White House dresses. Seth: Love the electronic maps showing the progress of the Civil War battles. Both: Fun to dress up and play with old toys in Mrs. Lincoln's Attic.
A somber stop
On our way out of Springfield, we stop at Lincoln's Tomb. A towering obelisk and statue announce the burial place. We walk through hushed marble halls.
Moms say Didn't realize that Lincoln was buried in Springfield, along with his wife, Mary, and three of his four sons. The 117-foot-tall tomb has a rotunda and corridors containing Lincoln statues and plaques with excerpts from his speeches. This was moving and powerful, a real chance to reflect.
Kids say Serious and quiet inside. Great hills to roll down outside.
Voices of the past and future
We head to the Lincoln Log Cabin in Lerna, 110 miles southeast of Springfield. This simple spot, once home to dad Thomas and stepmom Sarah Lincoln, is remote, but the kids quickly warm to it.
"Abraham comes to hear law cases in Charleston, takes a note for his fee and gives it to me to claim. He is a dutiful son," says Thomas, aka Lance Beever, who acts the part of living in 1845, speaking in the first person.
Inside the tidy, two-room cabin, a woman makes biscuits using vintage "receipts" or recipes. Outside, "Sarah" demonstrates weaving. "Thomas" strums a guitar.
The play-acting delights the kids. Ella quietly slides a penny on the Lincolns' table when we leave as if to say, in a voice from the future, that he lives. I'm happy to see the kids immersing themselves in Lincoln's era, seeing how Lincoln's humble beginnings didn't keep him from greatness.
Moms say Beautiful rural setting. Got planting ideas from the pretty heirloom garden. Liked talking to the actors (left), who seemed as though they were genuinely from the 19th century.
Kids say It was like living back then.
Trip details
Our getaway was focused in Springfield, with side trips to Lerna and Petersburg.
Fun places to eat with kids in Springfield include the Cozy Dog Drive In, a Route 66 stop where corn dogs rule, and Saputo's, a family-owned Italian spot that's great for kids and grown-ups. Families will enjoying staying in the Hilton Springfield, which has comfortable rooms in a 30-story downtown hotel with a Bennigan's restaurant and the thing kids love best: a swimming pool.

It's been such a fun week at Lake Tahoe. I'm sad that we only have one day left. Here are a few more pictures from our trip.
The water level of the lake is incredibly high this year so they are releasing as much water from it as they can, which translates to no rafting down the Truckee River for us this year. The river is so high it reaches the bridges and flooded the bike path. So instead of a picture of us rafting, you get a picture of our fannies on the aptly named Fanny Bridge watching the water be released.
We spent Monday letterboxing our way around the Lake and discovered some new sites and also visted some old favorites. here we are looking down at Emerald Bay. There's a tea house down on that little island.
We made it to Ben's wedding reception in Sacramento on Tuesday (Larry's best friend from Medical school, who we like to refer to as Basment Benji since he spent a few months living in our basement).
After spending the night at my grandparents' we headed back to Tahoe and visited the Donner Party Memorial. Appropriately it was the only day up here that was cold. They built the rock part of the memorial to show how high the snow was that year, 22 ft.
We spent yesterday kyaking, but I don't have any photos of that for you. Now I have to go so more later!

* Blogger challenged full-body scanners at checkpoints
* Critics fear scanners can emit too much radiation
(Adds background, lower court decision, byline)
By Jonathan Stempel
WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider a Michigan blogger's challenge of the use of full-body scanners and thorough pat-downs at airport checkpoints.
Without comment, the court declined to take up Jeffrey Corbett's complaint that the Transportation Security Administration's use of the screening techniques violated passengers' protection against illegal searches under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The TSA had in October 2010 directed the use of the scanners, sometimes known as advanced imaging technology, which some critics fear could emit too much radiation.
In addition, the TSA authorized enhanced pat-downs, which could include the touching of genitals, buttocks and breasts, for passengers unwilling to go through the scanners. Passengers who rejected both procedures would not be allowed to fly.
Corbett, who maintains the "TSA Out of Our Pants!" blog, complained that the TSA lacked unilateral authority to adopt the procedures.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta had rejected Corbett's case, saying a lower court correctly concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to review a TSA order.
The case is Corbett v. U.S., U.S. Supreme Court, No. 11-1413.

The EPA Has Disappeared Its Climate Page
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) climate change page might be gone, permanently.
Four months after Donald Trump took office, the agency replaced its "climate change" page with an update message saying the site was being changed to "reflect the agency's new direction under President Donald Trump." But now even the promise of an update is gone, a new report from the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) discovered Thursday.
Instead, if you type epa.gov/climatechange into your web browser, you get a rather ironic error message reading, "We want to hep you find what you are looking for."

"It's an embarrassment. It is a ghost page," Obama-era EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck told The Guardian. "It's a bit like Amazon not allowing the public to order books via its website – it's that fundamental. There's no other issue at the EPA more important than climate change; it affects air, water, health and whether large parts of the world will survive."
The EDGI report said that the changes occurred between 5:12 p.m. Oct. 16 and 3:04 a.m. Oct. 17. In addition to changing the main text of the page, the website also replaced a link to a snapshot of the EPA's Obama-era climate change page with a snapshot of the EPA's Obama-era main page and deleted a link to a press release explaining the changes. In September, the EPA also removed a link on the page to the EPA's searchable archive and technical support request form.
"The cumulative effect of removing these links from the splash page is the substantial reduction of access to EPA's historical public information about climate change," the EDGI report said.

The website changes are in keeping with a Trump administration tradition of scrubbing climate information from government websites.
Motherboard offered a brief history:
This is far from the first time that the Trump administration has removed information relating to climate change and environmental hazards. Shortly after Trump's inauguration in January 2017, all references to climate change were removed from the White House website. In April of that year, the Department of the Interior all references to climate change from its public-facing website. The Federal Emergency Management Agency does not even mention climate change in its five year plan released earlier this year.
Former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt was famously hostile to climate science and wanted to stage a televised debate on the topic. One anonymous EPA official speculated to The Guardian that the changes might reflect the priorities of his replacement, former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler.
"Wheeler has been somewhat meticulously going through the mess Pruitt left behind and I think is finally getting to the place of making some decisions on stuff," the official said. "I've been surprised that we are still even talking about climate change and that there are still people nominally assigned to that beat in the air office."
Wheeler has continued with Pruitt's efforts to deregulate everything from power plant emissions to fuel efficiency standards and has said that "federal regulations are not necessary to drive greenhouse gas reductions," The Guardian reported.
Correction: This post has been updated to provide greater clarity regarding the nature of changes to the EPA's climate change webpage.

Fires in the Brazilian Amazon have jumped 84 percent during President Jair Bolsonaro's first year in office and in July 2019 alone, an area of rainforest the size of Manhattan was lost every day. The Amazon fires may seem beyond human control, but they're not beyond human culpability.
Bolsonaro ran for president promising to "integrate the Amazon into the Brazilian economy". Once elected, he slashed the Brazilian environmental protection agency budget by 95 percent and relaxed safeguards for mining projects on indigenous lands. Farmers cited their support for Bolsonaro's approach as they set fires to clear rainforest for cattle grazing.
Bolsonaro's vandalism will be most painful for the indigenous people who call the Amazon home. But destruction of the world's largest rainforest may accelerate climate change and so cause further suffering worldwide. For that reason, Brazil's former environment minister, Marina Silva, called the Amazon fires a crime against humanity.
From a legal perspective, this might be a helpful way of prosecuting environmental destruction. Crimes against humanity are international crimes, like genocide and war crimes, which are considered to harm both the immediate victims and humanity as a whole. As such, all of humankind has an interest in their punishment and deterrence.
Historical Precedent
Crimes against humanity were first classified as an international crime during the Nuremberg trials that followed World War II. Two German Generals, Alfred Jodl and Lothar Rendulic, were charged with war crimes for implementing scorched earth policies in Finland and Norway. No one was charged with crimes against humanity for causing the unprecedented environmental damage that scarred the post-war landscapes though.
Our understanding of the Earth's ecology has matured since then, yet so has our capacity to pollute and destroy. It's now clear that the consequences of environmental destruction don't stop at national borders. All humanity is placed in jeopardy when burning rainforests flood the atmosphere with CO₂ and exacerbate climate change.
Holding someone like Bolsonaro to account for this by charging him with crimes against humanity would be a world first. If successful, it could set a precedent which might stimulate more aggressive legal action against environmental crimes. But do the Amazon fires fit the criteria?
Prosecuting crimes against humanity requires proof of widespread and systematic attacks against a civilian population. If a specific part of the global population is persecuted, this is an affront to the global conscience. In the same way, domestic crimes are an affront to the population of the state in which they occur.
When prosecuting prominent Nazis in Nuremberg, the US chief prosecutor, Robert Jackson, argued that crimes against humanity are committed by individuals, not abstract entities. Only by holding individuals accountable for their actions can widespread atrocities be deterred in future.
The International Criminal Court's Chief Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has promised to apply the approach first developed in Nuremberg to prosecute individuals for international crimes that result in significant environmental damage. Her recommendations don't create new environmental crimes, such as "ecocide", which would punish severe environmental damage as a crime in itself. They do signal, however, a growing appreciation of the role that environmental damage plays in causing harm and suffering to people.
The International Criminal Court was asked in 2014 to open an investigation into allegations of land-grabbing by the Cambodian government. In Cambodia, large corporations and investment firms were being given prime agricultural land by the government, displacing up to 770,000 Cambodians from 4m hectares of land. Prosecuting these actions as crimes against humanity would be a positive first step towards holding individuals like Bolsonaro accountable.
But given the global consequences of the Amazon fires, could environmental destruction of this nature be legally considered a crime against all humanity? Defining it as such would be unprecedented. The same charge could apply to many politicians and business people. It's been argued that oil and gas executives who've funded disinformation about climate change for decades should be chief among them.
Charging individuals for environmental crimes against humanity could be an effective deterrent. But whether the law will develop in time to prosecute people like Bolsonaro is, as yet, uncertain. Until the International Criminal Court prosecutes individuals for crimes against humanity based on their environmental damage, holding individuals criminally accountable for climate change remains unlikely.

Naomi Klein: 'We Are Seeing the Beginnings of the Era of Climate Barbarism'
By Natalie Hanman
Why are you publishing this book now?
I still feel that the way that we talk about climate change is too compartmentalised, too siloed from the other crises we face. A really strong theme running through the book is the links between it and the crisis of rising white supremacy, the various forms of nationalism and the fact that so many people are being forced from their homelands, and the war that is waged on our attention spans. These are intersecting and interconnecting crises and so the solutions have to be as well.
The book collects essays from the last decade, have you changed your mind about anything?
When I look back, I don't think I placed enough emphasis on the challenge climate change poses to the left. It's more obvious the way the climate crisis challenges a rightwing dominant worldview, and the cult of serious centrism that never wants to do anything big, that's always looking to split the difference. But this is also a challenge to a left worldview that is essentially only interested in redistributing the spoils of extractivism [the process of extracting natural resources from the earth] and not reckoning with the limits of endless consumption.
What's stopping the left doing this?
In a North American context, it's the greatest taboo of all to actually admit that there are going to be limits. You see that in the way Fox News has gone after the Green New Deal – they are coming after your hamburgers! It cuts to the heart of the American dream – every generation gets more than the last, there is always a new frontier to expand to, the whole idea of settler colonial nations like ours. When somebody comes along and says, actually, there are limits, we've got some tough decisions, we need to figure out how to manage what's left, we've got to share equitably – it is a psychic attack. And so the response [on the left] has been to avoid, and say no, no, we're not coming to take away your stuff, there are going to be all kinds of benefits. And there aregoing to be benefits: we'll have more livable cities, we'll have less polluted air, we'll spend less time stuck in traffic, we can design happier, richer lives in so many ways. But we are going to have to contract on the endless, disposable consumption side.
Do you feel encouraged by talk of the Green New Deal?
I feel a tremendous excitement and a sense of relief, that we are finally talking about solutions on the scale of the crisis we face. That we're not talking about a little carbon tax or a cap and trade scheme as a silver bullet. We're talking about transforming our economy. This system is failing the majority of people anyway, which is why we're in this period of such profound political destabilisation – that is giving us the Trumps and the Brexits, and all of these strongman leaders – so why don't we figure out how to change everything from bottom to top, and do it in a way that addresses all of these other crises at the same time? There is every chance we will miss the mark, but every fraction of a degree warming that we are able to hold off is a victory and every policy that we are able to win that makes our societies more humane, the more we will weather the inevitable shocks and storms to come without slipping into barbarism. Because what really terrifies me is what we are seeing at our borders in Europe and North America and Australia – I don't think it's coincidental that the settler colonial states and the countries that are the engines of that colonialism are at the forefront of this. We are seeing the beginnings of the era of climate barbarism. We saw it in Christchurch, we saw it in El Paso, where you have this marrying of white supremacist violence with vicious anti-immigrant racism.
That is one of the most chilling sections of your book: I think that's a link a lot of people haven't made.
This pattern has been clear for a while. White supremacy emerged not just because people felt like thinking up ideas that were going to get a lot of people killed but because it was useful to protect barbaric but highly profitable actions. The age of scientific racism begins alongside the transatlantic slave trade, it is a rationale for that brutality. If we are going to respond to climate change by fortressing our borders, then of course the theories that would justify that, that create these hierarchies of humanity, will come surging back. There have been signs of that for years, but it is getting harder to deny because you have killers who are screaming it from the rooftops.
One criticism you hear about the environment movement is that it is dominated by white people. How do you address that?
When you have a movement that is overwhelmingly representative of the most privileged sector of society then the approach is going to be much more fearful of change, because people who have a lot to lose tend to be more fearful of change, whereas people who have a lot to gain will tend to fight harder for it. That's the big benefit of having an approach to climate change that links it to those so called bread and butter issues: how are we going to get better paid jobs, affordable housing, a way for people to take care of their families?
I have had many conversations with environmentalists over the years where they seem really to believe that by linking fighting climate change with fighting poverty, or fighting for racial justice, it's going to make the fight harder. We have to get out of this "my crisis is bigger than your crisis: first we save the planet and then we fight poverty and racism, and violence against women". That doesn't work. That alienates the people who would fight hardest for change.
This debate has shifted a huge amount in the U.S. because of the leadership of the climate justice movement and because it is congresswomen of colour who are championing the Green New Deal. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaibcome from communities that have gotten such a raw deal under the years of neoliberalism and longer, and are determined to represent, truly represent, the interests of those communities. They're not afraid of deep change because their communities desperately need it.
In the book, you write: "The hard truth is that the answer to the question 'What can I, as an individual, do to stop climate change?' is: nothing." Do you still believe that?
In terms of the carbon, the individual decisions that we make are not going to add up to anything like the kind of scale of change that we need. And I do believe that the fact that for so many people it's so much more comfortable to talk about our own personal consumption, than to talk about systemic change, is a product of neoliberalism, that we have been trained to see ourselves as consumers first. To me that's the benefit of bringing up these historical analogies, like the New Deal or the Marshall Plan – it brings our minds back to a time when we were able to think of change on that scale. Because we've been trained to think very small. It is incredibly significant that Greta Thunberg has turned her life into a living emergency.
Yes, she set sail for the UN climate summit in New York on a zero carbon yacht ...
Exactly. But this isn't about what Greta is doing as an individual. It's about what Greta is broadcasting in the choices that she makes as an activist, and I absolutely respect that. I think it's magnificent. She is using the power that she has to broadcast that this is an emergency, and trying to inspire politicians to treat it as an emergency. I don't think anybody is exempt from scrutinising their own decisions and behaviours but I think it is possible to overemphasise the individual choices. I have made a choice – and this has been true since I wrote No Logo, and I started getting these "what should I buy, where should I shop, what are the ethical clothes?" questions. My answer continues to be that I am not a lifestyle adviser, I am not anyone's shopping guru, and I make these decisions in my own life but I'm under no illusion that these decisions are going to make the difference.
Some people are choosing to go on birth strikes. What do you think about that?
I'm happy these discussions are coming into the public domain as opposed to being furtive issues we're afraid to talk about. It's been very isolating for people. It certainly was for me. One of the reasons I waited as long as I did to try and get pregnant, and I would say this to my partner all the time – what, you want to have a Mad Max water warrior fighting with their friends for food and water? It wasn't until I was part of the climate justice movement and I could see a path forward that I could even imagine having a kid. But I would never tell anybody how to answer this most intimate of questions. As a feminist who knows the brutal history of forced sterilisation and the ways in which women's bodies become battle zones when policymakers decide that they are going to try and control population, I think that the idea that there are regulatory solutions when it comes to whether or not to have kids is catastrophically ahistorical. We need to be struggling with our climate grief together and our climate fears together, through whatever decision we decide to make, but the discussion we need to have is how do we build a world so that those kids can have thriving, zero-carbon lives?
Over the summer, you encouraged people to read Richard Powers's novel, The Overstory. Why?
It's been incredibly important to me and I'm happy that so many people have written to me since. What Powers is writing about trees: that trees live in communities and are in communication, and plan and react together, and we've been completely wrong in the way we conceptualise them. It's the same conversation we're having about whether we are going to solve this as individuals or whether we are going to save the collective organism. It's also rare, in good fiction, to valorise activism, to treat it with real respect, failures and all, to acknowledge the heroism of the people who put their bodies on the line. I thought Powers did that in a really extraordinary way.
What are you views on what Extinction Rebellion has achieved?
One thing they have done so well is break us out of this classic campaign model we have been in for a long time, where you tell someone something scary, you ask them to click on something to do something about it, you skip out the whole phase where we need to grieve together and feel together and process what it is that we just saw. Because what I hear a lot from people is, ok, maybe those people back in the 1930s or 40s could organise neighbourhood by neighbourhood or workplace by workplace but we can't. We believe we've been so downgraded as a species that we are incapable of that. The only thing that is going to change that belief is getting face to face, in community, having experiences, off our screens, with one another on the streets and in nature, and winning some things and feeling that power.
You talk about stamina in the book. How do you keep going? Do you feel hopeful?
I have complicated feelings about the hope question. Not a day goes by that I don't have a moment of sheer panic, raw terror, complete conviction that we are doomed, and then I do pull myself out of it. I'm renewed by this new generation that is so determined, so forceful. I'm inspired by the willingness to engage in electoral politics, because my generation, when we were in our 20s and 30s, there was so much suspicion around getting our hands dirty with electoral politics that we lost a lot of opportunities. What gives me the most hope right now is that we've finally got the vision for what we want instead, or at least the first rough draft of it. This is the first time this has happened in my lifetime. And also, I did decide to have kids. I have a seven year old who is so completely obsessed and in love with the natural world. When I think about him, after we've spent an entire summer talking about the role of salmon in feeding the forests where he was born in British Columbia, and how they are linked to the health of the trees and the soil and the bears and the orcas and this entire magnificent ecosystem, and I think about what it would be like to have to tell him that there are no more salmon, it kills me. So that motivates me. And slays me.

Fees on Electric Cars, Influenced by Koch Network, Unfairly Penalize Drivers, Consumer Reports Says
By Ben Jervey
Drivers of electric cars are being unfairly punished by punitive fees in several states, according to a newly published analysis by Consumer Reports. Legislators in 26 states have enacted or proposed special registration fees for electric vehicles (EVs) that the consumer advocacy group found to be more expensive than the gas taxes paid by the driver of an average new gasoline vehicle.

Euell glad to help youngsters
Jason Euell is happy to be there to guide Charlton's younger players through their League One campaign, even if he isn't playing as much as he would like himself.
The 34-year-old midfielder who joined the Addicks for his second spell from Blackpool in the summer, has reached the point in his career where he is being considered a veteran.
"I suppose you're going to be there at some point and I've been lucky enough to carry on playing at the age I am," Euell explained.
"I just see it as we're all learning from each other, regardless of age and how many games you've played, and from a day-to-day basis, we all want to improve as players.
"We're in it together, and we just want to take it day-by-day and each game as it comes."
Charlton have enjoyed a fine start to the season, sitting on top of the league and will play Fulham in the third round of the FA Cup thanks to Euell's clinching goal against Carlisle on Saturday that made it 2-0.
He said: "It was good to get the goal after coming on as a substitute, and sometimes a manager wants that because it's a case of shoring up the midfield and keeping it tight.
"But we still had to go and get that second goal to kill the game, and I'm happy enough it fell to me."News Now - Sport News
