Posted on 08/28/2012 2:15:14 PM PDT by TexasCajun
Kalispell man, 44, dies
A man dressed in a military-style Ghillie suit who was attempting to provoke a Bigfoot sighting was struck by two vehicles and killed on U.S. 93 south of Kalispell Sunday night.
He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting, Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider said. You cant make it up. I havent seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.
The Flathead County Sheriffs Office identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell.
Schneider said Tenleys motivations were ascertained during interviews with friends who were not in the immediate area but were nearby when the man was struck at about 10:30 p.m.

Darwin award candidate.
Idiot has destroyed those two girls' lives.
>>The Flathead County Sheriffs Office<<
Oh come ON!! Bigfoot imitator run over in Flathead? The jokes write themselves!
it worked
Tragically, deaths like these will always be unavoidable—Iowahawk.
Sasquatch becomes Sasquish.
This could almost qualify for a "wildlife" ping.
10:30PM it would not yet be dark in Kalispell.
I remember coming out of Moose's Saloon (no windows if I remember clearly) at about that time and I was shocked to find that it was still daylight.
Of course I wasn't wearing cammos as I ran down the street.
Outdoors; Pets/Animals; UFO's; Weird Stuff;
as topics.
"Look at me, I'm in camouflage! No, over here!" [eye roll]
Sounds like a fun place.
Honey, I'll be home when it gets dark.
When cases like this pop up I'm reminded of the saying "Sometimes the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others."
Actually, it is dark around 9:15 this time of year.
On June 21st, it is light around 10:30 pm.
The fires in Idaho are keeping it hazy right now and pretty dark when the sun sets.
Still a tragedy. Poor guy. He seems to have violated a lot of the rules for dressing up as a Sasquatch.
The last one did it during hunting season. Ended up as jerky!
Seriously, that's funny.
How do they know he was trying to look like bigfoot?
Pinged the wrong person! :(
See the post above this one, please. LOL
Because the bigfoots hold a Bigfoot Look-Alike Contest in August.
Darwin Award? Are you kidding? I wanta go to the funeral. That would be a hoot.
I think in this case the committee votes to skip the "candidate" phase and go right to the award. not much question on this one.
A Bigfoot "researcher" (hoaxster) once stopped by uninvited and told me that his efforts were for swaying others to Atheism. Retarded kooks.
And a letter of appreciation from Charles Darwin.

President Obama increased the amount of federally protected land on Tuesday, adding some 1,665 acres of the California coast to a national monument.
"It is a place where scientists do research; where people who just want to experience the great outdoors can take advantage of it," Obama said of the land in northern California's Mendocino County, just north of Point Arena. "It is a huge economic boost for the region."
Obama pledged the new addition to the California Coastal National Monument during his State of the Union Address.
The proclamation also bypasses Congress, where new public land bills have been held up.
"We are talking about over 1,600 acres of incredible coastline in California that reflects the incredible diversity of flora and fauna," Obama said.

Town Square
Traffic plan: Council zeroes in on North Bayshore

Is a Shoreline Blvd bike path really useful? Shoreline is so close to the Stevens Creek Trail that most bicycle commuters are already using the trail. What the city needs is safe bicycle routes over Hwy 101 from other parts of town, especially from the north/west side of town. How about a bike path from the San Antonio Caltrain station over Hwy 101 to the North Bayshore area? Bike and pedestrian routes are currently poor in the area between Rengstorff and San Antonio, so a new path would be heavily used by the community. I'm sure lots of people in this area work north of the freeway, but currently do not have a good way to get to work other than single occupancy autos.

Put wings on the bikes so they can fly above traffic, they could be rubber band powered which is eco friendly.
a resident of Rex Manor
on Feb 15, 2013 at 11:27 pm
@resident: Take a look at the images. Part of the plan includes a tunnel at Charleston/Rengstorff that can help with bike access on the north side, as will the bike bridge planned just north of San Antonio at Adobe Creek.
And as for Shoreline being near the Stevens Creek Trail, they may be close once you're in North Bayshore, but they're not close at points further South. For example, most people leaving the Caltrain/VTA station headed to that area use Moffett, Sterlin and Shoreline to get there. Heading east to the trail adds at least five minutes and includes an extra overpass/hill. Not nearly as direct. And that doesn't include bike commuters, like me, who live west of Shoreline.
a resident of St. Francis Acres
on Feb 15, 2013 at 11:52 pm
I agree with Janet on improving Shoreline for bicycles. If you start further South, say El Camino or similar, getting over to Stevens Creek is nice (I like cycling through downtown and Old Mountain View), but it's also quite a detour - e.g., to Google, it probably adds about 10 minutes one way. The problem with Shoreline is that you share the road with cars, which is unpleasant especially during commute hours and when going over the 101 bridge (the bridge over Central Express is already quite nice for bikes) - over 101, cars are crossing your path as they enter / exit the freeway. It's the quickest route but also somewhat hazardous as is.
I don't know whether it is the highest priority item overall, but for myself, bicycle improvements on Shoreline would certainly increase my bicycle usage.
a resident of another community

I agree with make bike routes better and improve travel time on a bike, but not everyone will be riding a bike.
I like the idea of having outlaying garages, but then again that still is more cars on the roads.
A mix of transit choices that are ever improving.

I don't understand why council members are still dragging their feet on the environmental study or even assuming its outcome. I work for Google. We pride ourselves on data-driven decisions. With an attitude like this, Jac Siegel wouldn't last long at Google. Maybe he won't last much longer on the city council either. I'll make a point of talking with the transportation team before voting in the next election.

"Data-driven decisions" vs. "Decision driven data"
a resident of Cuesta Park
on Feb 20, 2013 at 12:03 am
The futuristic "pod" monorail type concept that some council people are proponents of from MV Caltrain across Shoreline will be realistic in the future time frame when the increased non motor-vehicular transport solution is needed.
Google money should be used to build it. This would be a natural extension of their driverless car program.
In return for all the demands given as request and proposals that Google makes, let's have the council pass a hire local law, giving priority to MV residents by length of residency, instead of Google importing thousands of foreigners that are bloating the cities population. MV has more than enough fully skilled well qualified and under- or unemployed population right now to staff many if not most of the openings Google anticipates filling over the next few years.
A biped extension of Steven's Creek Trail _over_ 101, instead of current the sometimes closed and sometimes criminally infested underpass, will greatly increase trail use to the Shoreline area.
Also, time for the council to take the bold step of designating Steven's Creek trail as a bike trail and not part of a park. That clears the way for full street lighting of the trail, making it the complete bike commuter thoroughfare that will be a needed part of getting 10% of Bayshore area employees to use other than cars to get to work.
a resident of Shoreline West
on Feb 20, 2013 at 9:09 am
I find it very curious that (at minimum) three very large and dangerous potholes showed up OVER-NIGHT on Charleston between Shoreline and Rengstorff, right in front of the main Google campus buildings.
Mark my words, it won't be long before the headlines read "Increased traffic makes roads unsafe".

perfect shoe for my wide feet
"I generally have to wear an 11 when going with a D width, but with this model I can wear a 9.5, which is the size I wear in an E width, so I would say these are as wide as an E width, which is perfect for me.

Hair trends are taking a sophisticated twist this season, inspired by French haute couture and the clever use of accessories to accentuate subtle styles.
Classic looks from a bygone era have been revamped and modernised to give them an edgy, fresh new dimension.
L'Oreal Professionnel is leading the revival and showed its Somptueux collection on the European catwalks recently. The styles will provide inspiration for hairdressers from around the world.
A salute to traditional haute couture elements, including attention to detail, intricate embellishments, tailoring and delicate fabrics, has transcended from clothing design to hair.
Flowers, feathers and woven braids enhanced the latest styles on the runway, and were constructed expertly to complement hair.
Other popular highlights sure to be replicated by fashion enthusiasts are intertwined braids, glamorous waves and asymmetric tapered haircuts.
Show creator and renowned French stylist Odile Gilbert says the collection showcases an exciting era of experimentation.
"I wanted to convey a particular magnificence, while also celebrating notions of beauty, poetry and dreaming."
"Each of the three elements - the flowers, feathers and weaving - acknowledges the skill of milliners, feather-workers and embroiderers," says Gilbert.

Aaronic Priesthood
The lesser priesthood (Heb. 7:11–12; D&C 107:13–14). Its offices are bishop, priest, teacher, and deacon (D&C 84:30; 107:10, 14–15, 87–88). Anciently, under the law of Moses, there were high priests, priests, and Levites. The Aaronic Priesthood was revealed to Moses because the ancient Israelites rebelled against God. They refused to be sanctified and receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and its ordinances (D&C 84:23–25). The Aaronic Priesthood deals with the temporal and outward ordinances of the law and the gospel (1 Chr. 23:27–32; D&C 84:26–27; 107:20). It holds the keys of the ministering of angels, of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism (D&C 13). The Aaronic Priesthood was restored to the earth in this dispensation on 15 May 1829. John the Baptist conferred it on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on the banks of the Susquehanna River, near Harmony, Pennsylvania (D&C 13; JS—H 1:68–73).
- And he shall have the covenant of an everlasting priesthood:Num. 25:13;
- The Lord shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them:Mal. 3:3; ( 3 Ne. 24:3; )
- No man taketh this honor unto himself:Heb. 5:4;
- Perfection does not come by the Levitical Priesthood:Heb. 7:11;
- This priesthood shall never be taken from the earth until the sons of Levi do offer an offering:D&C 13:1;
- Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were ordained unto the Aaronic Priesthood:D&C 27:8;
- The lesser priesthood holds the key of the ministering of angels:D&C 84:26; ( D&C 13:1; )
- There are two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic:D&C 107:1;
- The second priesthood is called the Priesthood of Aaron:D&C 107:13;

I have trouble believing that it is the year 2012, and also a little trouble realizing January has zoomed by, and it is now the first of February. I hope all of you had time to relax in January, and read some good books. I always seem to be able to take time to read, especially in the winter, when I do not have to take time to work in my yard.
This January I read Distant Hours by Kate Morton, Sarah Jio's two novels, that I mentioned in my last blog, a biography about Louisa May Alcott by Susan Cheever, and the very popular Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Distant Hours takes place in England. Edie Burchill's mother receives a long lost letter that upsets her. She is not close to her daughter, and does not share why she is so upset. During World Two when young children were evacuated from London, to live with families in the country, Edie's mother lived with the Blythe family, three sisters and their father, in their castle. Now 50 years later Edie visits the Milderhurst Castle to find out why her mother is upset. She eventually discovers a lot of secrets about the entire Blythe family. If you have read The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton and enjoyed it you will certainly also enjoy this book.
I am so sorry that Sarah Jio had to cancel her visit to Wenatchee due to illness. I was looking forward to her program having read both of her books. I hope she is well and will be able to fit us in to her very busy touring schedule in the near future. I will let you know.
I was excited to receive as a Christmas gift, Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography by Susan Cheever. Little Women is one of my favorite books, but I have to admit I really did not know very much about Alcott's life. Her father was an eccentric reformer, who financially was not successful, and the family lived in poverty. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a personal friend who often helped the family financially. Alcott's dream was to be a published writer, but was told early in her career that she should stick to teaching, as she would never make it as a writer. She became an Army nurse during the Civil War. During this time she became sick, which affected her health for the rest of her life. Eventually she became an editor for a children's magazine, and wrote short stories. A publisher then wanted her to write a novel for girls. Alcott had no desire to do this. Finally out of necessity to help her family financially, she wrote the first part of LIttle Women, and it was immediately a huge success. She then wrote the second half. Girls would write to her begging her to end the story with Jo's and Laurie's marraige, but she refused this request, wanting girls to know that a career was more important then marriage to some women. One comment that Cheever made was interesting. She said that Little Women was about the family that Alcott wished her family would have been.
Last night I finished reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, another Christmas gift. I cannot say enough about this book. It is very popular with our book clubs. It is the true story about a poor, black tobacco farmer named Henrietta Lacks. She was diagnosed with cancer, and died in the early 1950's. She was in her early thirties, and left behind young children. Henrietta's cells were taken and used by scientists, without her or her family's consent. Her cells are known as HeLa and are still being used today. The cells have been an important tool in the medical field. This is an amazing book about science, but also a book about a family that has struggled a lifetime missing Henrietta, and then learns that her cells are being used by scientists, and not understanding that concept. It is also the story about the relationship the author developed with this family. For many years they did not trust her and wanted nothing to do with her. This book will generate great discussions with book clubs. I would love comments from the clubs that have already read this book.

Classic 36 Inch Epicure Single Wall Oven
Description & Highlights
Dacor Classic 36 Inch Epicure Single Wall Oven - Stainless Steel
The Dacor Classic 36 Inch Epicure Single Wall Oven (EORS136SCH) brings a unique combination of timeless design and modern performance to the table. Its patented RapidHeat™ Bake Element underglass is great for faster preheating and even baking and browning, along with an incredibly easy cleanup. Then there is the Exclusive Four-Part Pure Convection™ System which reduces cooking time, provides superior heat distribution and eliminates flavor transfer. Furthermore, this oven comes with six (6) cooking modes: Convection Bake, Convection Broil, Convection Roast, Pure Convection™, Bake and Broil. For more seasoned culinary artists, this oven comes with dehydrate and proof settings as well as a 3,100 watt recessed electric broil element.
One very important aspect of this oven is the way it prevents possible problems for you in the kitchen.

The shirt quality is fine but the branding is not for Cutter and Buck. The branding is all for Clique. It would be of good to have that known prior to purchase.
This is a great looking shirt. Very High Quality.
Shirt quality is good but nowhere would you see the Cutter and Buck name, logo
Cheap shirt, not worth the price.
Considering the price, this is a great shirt despite other reviews. It feels great, it's lightweight making it great for warm weather and at this price you might as well get a few!

Ruth Barton, Guiding Force in Journalism at CC, Dies at 78
Professor Emerita Ruth Barton, the guiding force in the early years of the Writing Center, the journalism program, Cutler Publications, and a host of other writing-related endeavors at Colorado College, died Friday, Nov. 23. She was 78.
Barton, known for her love of poetry and her dedication to students, first began teaching at CC in 1964 as a lecturer in English. Faculty and students alike recall her kindness and fearlessness as she navigated turbulent decades of change at the college.
Former students remember a generous teacher who took them seriously.
"She was the first person who ever told me I could be a writer," said Michael Nava '76, a Stanford-educated lawyer whose books include a series of well-regarded detective novels featuring Henry Rios, a gay criminal defense lawyer. "She gave me permission to go about fulfilling that ambition."
Nava's first class at CC was a two-block creative writing course with Barton. "She was a monumentally important person to me," Nava said. "She not only encouraged my writing, but also understood my position at the school, as a poor scholarship boy in a school that was basically middle and upper-class."
A specialist in late 19th and early 20th century poetry, Barton wrote her dissertation on W.B. Yeats at the University of Wisconsin. It was in a class on the romantic poets that Molly Gross '96, now associate director of the Writing Center, felt emboldened as a writer.
"She encouraged risk-taking, a creative approach to writing," Gross said. "But she was rigorous, too. She was really good at guiding, ushering you along the way, even if neither of us knew where you were going."
Early on, Barton lobbied for a college-wide writing program, which began in the mid-70s when a professor was freed for a block to help students. By 1979, the faculty approved an all-college writing program, including what became the Writing Center, "to help all students write more clearly, cogently, and gracefully by offering a wide variety of writing opportunities," Barton wrote in 1988. She recruited faculty by holding monthly lunches to discuss teaching writing. In the early days, she invited new faculty to retreats at the Baca to discuss teaching writing. Her husband, the late Tom K. Barton, professor emeritus of history, shared her conviction that writing is central to learning.
"The Writing Center was her baby," said English Professor Barry Sarchett, who came to the college in 1981, at first to teach half time and work in the newly established writing program. He recalled Barton's "seductive Texas drawl" when she aimed to persuade.
"She was larger than life," Sarchett said. "We all missed her when she was retired, and now we'll miss her even more."
The Writing Center will be renamed in her honor in a ceremony on Friday, Dec. 7, at noon, in the Learning Commons, Tutt Library 166.
A memorial service will be held in Shove Chapel at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, with a reception afterward in Gates Common Room.Show the long version of this story »
Full Story
Barton enthusiastically supported the work of the center, said Molly Wingate, the Writing Center's second director and now an author and writing consultant. "She was warm and gracious and made it really easy for people to participate," Wingate said.
With writing at the core of her teaching, Barton and her husband continued conversations about literature and history by inviting students to their Spanish-style bungalow on Custer Avenue just east of the college.
Her small son, Tiff, was often underfoot as students gathered in the Barton living room to discuss poetry and life. Once a year, students would come in costume for an Alice in Wonderland party to commemorate the Lewis Carroll novel, which she taught in her children's literature class. Often, students would incorporate the youngster into re-enactments of scenes from the book.
He remembers that his mother would soak raisins in rum and light them on fire, tossing the flaming specks to willing students in commemoration of the snap-dragonfly, a character in the book whose head was a burning raisin.
Tiff, who graduated from CC in 1992, ended up taking the children's literature class from his mother. "It was wonderful," he said. "I lived that class."
One student who spent a lot of time in the Barton living room was David Owen, who transferred to Harvard after attending CC for two years in the mid-70s. Owen never took a class from Barton, "but she was still the most important teacher I had in college," he wrote in a 1994 commemoration in a special issue of Leviathan, the student literary magazine.
"Through the force of her intelligence and her enormous kindness, she attracted a large extended family of literary dependents – some of them her own students, many others not – and she surprised them by taking them fairly seriously. Somehow she left all of them intellectually more presentable," wrote Owen, who is now a staff writer at The New Yorker.
Barton was instrumental in setting up Cutler Publications, the umbrella group for student publications on campus. It arose out of a crisis in 1969, when the student newspaper, then called the Tiger, reported on a college symposium on violence by printing a large photo of a four-letter word next to a wire photo of a police officer beating a demonstrator. "Which is really obscene?" the caption asked.
In the storm that ensued, Barton helped set up Cutler to keep student publications at arm's length from administrators and trustees, who had angrily interrogated the student editor.
"She devoted a great deal of time and attention to making sure the student publications worked," said Political Science Professor David Hendrickson '76, who edited the Leviathan when he was a student and now administers the journalism program. "She jealously guarded the independence of the Cutler board against the administration. That was always a big thing with her."
As she supported student journalists, Barton also lobbied vigorously for a formal academic program in journalism. In 1995, when the faculty approved a thematic minor in journalism, she noted archly in a CC community newspaper that the decision "represents an easing of a long-standing opposition to journalism on this campus."
The most important thing about journalism in relation to the liberal arts, she wrote, is this: "journalists ask questions. . . . More important than being able to find answers is being able to ask questions: significant, appropriate, carefully defined and articulated questions."
At Barton's instigation, the English department offered literary journalism courses, and brought in block visitors, such as the journalist Russell Martin '74. "The thing that was so impressive about her was her dedication to the students and the program," Hendrickson said. "She really gave her heart and soul to journalism."
To commemorate her dedication to student journalism, the Ruth Barton Award was established in 1996. It is given to a member of the faculty, staff or administration who contributes significantly to student journalism, or to a student who has shown excellence in journalism study and contributions to student publications.
Her zeal to set up the writing and journalism programs was matched by her devotion to causes she considered important.
"You could always count on her for very direct, straightforward assessment of a situation. She was very just," said Associate Dean of the College Re Evitt, whom Barton mentored when she was new professor in the English department. "She had backbone, yet she honored different points of view."
In 1996, for example, Barton got wind of a document that recommended that trees be cut down on Armstrong Quad to give a clear line of sight to Pikes Peak. "If necessary, I will chain myself to a tree to save it, and I have a lot of people that will join me," Barton told the Catalyst, which published a photo of her hugging a linden tree and smiling slyly.
"That was my mother," said Tiff Barton. "She was a fighter."
Ruth Pendergrass was born in Sweetwater, Texas, in 1934 and earned a degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. She worked for two years at the Fort Worth, Texas, Press, then married Tom K. Barton. The two moved to Detroit, where Ruth was a claims representative for the U.S. Social Security Administration. She earned a master's and doctorate in English from the University of Wisconsin. She became adjunct assistant professor of English, a non-tenure post, in 1974. In 2003, she became professor emerita, and in her retirement she was active in the League of Women Voters.
Her daughter, Belle B. Rosing, died in 2003. Her son, Tiff, lives in Colorado Springs.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Colorado College Journalism Program.

I'm curious to know if I can simply apply the 12V from the sidelights to an digital pin.
(I'm guessing it can't be done, but am curious about the arduino limits).
When the engine is not running, the battery voltage will be lower than when the engine is running and the alternator is charging the battery. If I can monitor this voltage, I can set a mid-point voltage which the Arduino will switch on the lights when the engine starts, and off when the engine stops.
Isn't that the same as simply detecting the engine running?
The voltage range will be from 12.5V (engine off) to 14V (engine on), so a mid point would be about 13.2V
