No matter your age, there are certain things you need to do to prepare financially for retirement, and of course, the earlier you start, the better. These steps — from AARP's The Single Woman's Guide to Retirement by Jan Cullinane — should help you along the way.
1. Save, Save, Save
How much of your salary should you put aside? Experts recommend at least 10 to 15 percent of your annual income, and more if you're closer to retirement and haven't put much aside. If you've hit your 40s or 50s and haven't started saving, you may need to save two or three times as much from each paycheck.
One simple calculator that tells you what you need to put aside can be found at morningstar.com (click on "Real Life Finance" and the calculator is in the middle of the page — "Are you saving enough for retirement?").
Several assumptions are built into this calculator: You'll need 80 percent of your present income (net of savings) for retirement; you'll retire at 65; inflation will be 2.5 percent a year and your income will increase by the same 2.5 percent a year; you'll receive Social Security; and you'll invest your money in a "life-cycle" or "target date" mutual fund, which rebalances your investments (stock, bonds, and cash) based on your age and retirement date. For example, if you're 55, make $40,000 a year, and have saved $10,000, you'll need to save 26.2 percent of your income each year until retirement (remember the assumption built into the calculator is that you'll work until 65). No guarantee, of course, but this calculator is one easy way to come up with an actual percent of what you need to save to have a 90 percent chance of outliving your money. If this seems daunting, remember that saving something is better than saving nothing.
[Editor's Note: You may also want to try the AARP Retirement Calculator.]
2. Create an Emergency Fund
That means money enough to last you three to six months. And remember, it's for an emergency ... and the newest cool shoes don't qualify as an emergency.
3. Pay Down Debt
If you're struggling with debt, personal finance guru Dave Ramsey suggests a technique called the "Debt Snowball." List your debts from lowest to highest. Pay the minimum balances on all debts except the smallest, and pay down that smallest debt fast. Once you've rid yourself of the lowest debt, the next lowest one is now the lowest debt and the one you work on next. Continue until all debt is gone. Some experts suggest you tackle the debt with the highest interest rate first, but Ramsey's idea is that you'll feel better getting rid of the smallest debt first, and you'll be motivated to continue and pay down the rest of your debts. Starting with a small "bite" is easier to do, and you'll be more likely to continue. Paying off the smallest debt is the beginning of your "snowball," and once it gets rolling, there's no stopping you! Once your debt is paid down, pay all of your credit cards in full each month.
Next: Pay yourself first! »

In the aftermath of a number of corporate scandals, the New York Stock Exchange established a new position six years ago to foster greater transparency and accountability among senior leadership. The new role, lead director, offers an alternative to splitting the combined chairman-CEO role. The lead director serves as an independent chief among all board members and thereby helps ensure board relations run smoothly. But since the introduction of the new position to corporate America, there's been little consensus regarding the responsibilities a lead director should assume. A recent survey sheds light on lead directors, having found that they excel in improving board performance, in strengthening relationships with the CEO, and in providing leadership in crisis.1
Lead directors drive high-performance boards. Many lead directors improve board performance by facilitating board discussions, by helping directors reach consensus, and by keeping board matters on track. In fact, all of the lead directors surveyed said they had the authority to call executive sessions and to preside over them. They may help deal with difficult or underperforming directors as well—a task that has traditionally fallen to the chairman or CEO.
Possibly the most important contribution is lead directors' dialogue with CEOs about substantive business matters or governance issues. A majority of lead directors said they speak with CEOs more than five times between board meetings. That's much more often than they speak with other directors. Relations between CEOs and boards can be rocky, and lead directors help maintain open communication across the boardroom. And with half of lead directors serving as former CEOs, it's no surprise that they have the capability to build productive relationships between the board and CEOs.
Past leadership expertise comes in handy—especially during a crisis. Seasoned leadership experience equips these directors to collaborate with CEOs and offer new perspectives in times of trouble. In fact, 73 percent of lead directors have had active roles in managing crises during the past three years.
As companies gain more experience and feel higher levels of comfort with lead directors, lead directors' roles are likely to continue to evolve. Nevertheless, the lead director role has proved to be successful for most, with 65 percent saying their positions have provided significant benefit for their companies.

Comments: this is a great lure. Dives to a good depth. Catches my striper limit. Get some different colors TW! Had to buy the"crystal pro blue" from basspro. I would've rather bought from here though
From: striper team: flezno
Comments: When everyone's POUNDING the fish w/ suspending jerkbaits ona highly pressured body of water in the coldwater and winter to spring transition...Use this bait. Everyone's so stuck on suspending but a slow floating or slowly sinking stick bait can make all the difference. This is a great option over flats for smallies as well and when bluegill are around the beds/shallows during the spawn...cast this thru the areas with a faster cadence and pause...that slow rise will drive em nuts.
From: Tanner: SE, Massachusetts
Comments: Wow! Not only caught a bunch of peacockbass, but also caught loads of largemouth. Placed 2nd in a tournament with this bait. Huge fan of the Slender pointer 97, but this bigger profile catches bigger fish. Change the hooks to the triple grip hooks and you will rarely lose a fish.
From: 1Puttric: Ft. Luaderdale, FL
Comments: Sikk rip bait! Caught some decent bass with this new guy. The new tapered body(wider back and slender belly) and thin lip really makes this bait go wild when ripped. The action to this bait is between and vision 110 and a squad minnow, which is exactly what LC needed....new favorite!
From: OgBass: Cal Delta
Comments: this is a great lure, the head tilts down when you jerk it in the water, I've caught some striped bass on it already. You gotta have one of these in your arsenal of rip baits! -Hmong Striper team-

Jerry B. Espinoza
Jerry Espinoza, 71, of Cortez, Colorado passed away on Feb. 20, 2014 as a result of lung cancer. His wife Connie was at his side when he drifted off to be with his Lord and Savior. He was born to Joe and Clarita Espinoza of Cortez, Colo. on Dec. 18, 1941 in Mancos, Colo.
Jerry served in the Army National Guard for three years with an Artillery Unit in Cortez and was honorably discharged as an E-3 Private First Class (1958 – 1961). Jerry also worked with his father Joe Espinoza as a caretaker at the Cortez Cemetery. He also worked for Texaco Oil Exploration and held several positions with them and stayed employed with them until the exploration was discontinued. His most recent employment was with Crystal Brite Laundry in Cortez, Colorado where he worked as a maintenance man for six years.

Polydactyly is a medical term used to describe extra fingers on the hands or toes on the feet. Since the extra fingers or toes are present at birth, they are called a congenital anomaly. The extra fingers or toes may be small and non-functional, in the case of nubbins or skin tags, or they may be fully formed with bones and skeletal connections. Extra digits can exist in different places on the hands and feet. If they are adjacent to the thumb or big toe, they are called pre-axial digits. If they are adjacent to the pinky finger or toe, they are called post-axial digits. Extra digits can also be centrally located in the hand or foot.
Polydactyly often occurs bilaterally (on both hands or both feet), or it may occur on just one hand or foot. Similarly, a person may have extra digits on just the hands, just the feet, or some other combination.
Polydactyly occurs when the body follows a different set of directions than usual while forming the hands or feet during development. Researchers are still learning about all the genes that cause extra digits. The trait may be passed down in families as an isolated, benign condition, like having a hitchhiker's thumb or being double jointed. This is considered a non-syndromic anomaly. Alternatively, the trait may exist as part of a syndrome, which is a group of several recognizable clinical features that often occur together. Some syndromes that might present with polydactyly include Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome (GCPS) or Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS).
The chances vary based on each person's family history. Sometimes extra digits appear to be a strong family trait that does not usually skip generations. In this case, we would consider the gene change to be dominant, so the chance of passing the polydactyly trait on to a child is 50 percent with each pregnancy if one parent has polydactyly. Alternatively a gene change might be recessive, in which case the chance of a person with polydactyly passing that trait onto a child is much smaller, depending on their partner's family history.
When polydactyly does occur as a family trait, it may occur in different combinations. One family member may have extra digits only on their hands, while another family member may have extra digits only on their feet.
Polydactyly can also occur even if there is no family history of extra digits.
There are special exceptions to these rules. Genetic counseling is recommended to understand how these exceptions may apply to your family.

Tonga pulled off a shock 45-21 victory over hosts Fiji in Saturday's opening game of 2011's IRB Pacific Nations Cup in Lautoka.
Tonga pulled off a shock 45-21 victory over hosts Fijii in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup in Lautoka.
The visitors' hero was their fly-half Kurt Morath, who contributed 20 points, via four penalties and four conversions.
The Fijians, who started the tournament as favourites, opened the scoring through a penalty in the third minute by veteran fly-half Nicky Little.
But Tonga struck back soon after, with a try by lock Samiu Vahafolau, which Morath converted.
Little succeeded with another penalty, and at 7-6, the Fijians were still in with a shout.
However, after that, Tonga took control of proceedings. Morath slotted three more penalties and he also converted a try by Alaska Taufa.
Fiji's only other points came through another penalty by Little, and at half-time Tonga held a commanding 23-9 lead.
Three minutes into the second half, Tonga extended their lead with a penalty try before Morath kicked another penalty, and with the score at 33-9 it looked like they had the match in the bag.
However, Fiji fought back with tries by Sekonai Kalou and Malukai Ravulo, to narrow the gap to 33-21.
Ravulo's try came when Tonga had 14 players on the field after their prop Alisona Taumalolo was yellow carded.
Taumalolo made up for that indiscretion with a try when he returned to the field, and Tonga sealed their win with another touchdown by Viliame Iongi.
Tonga's next match is against Japan and Fiji face Samoa in the second round of the competition next weekend.

SYDNEY and DUBAI,20th December 2012: Emirates and Qantas have welcomed the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) draft determination that proposes to grant authorisation for their partnership for five years.
The partnership will provide customers with a seamless international and Australian network, exclusive frequent flyer benefits and world‐class travel experiences.
ACCC approval is required for Emirates and Qantas to coordinate on pricing, sales and capacity.
The ACCC has issued a draft determination with a final decision due in March 2013. The implementation of the partnership remains subject to the ACCC's final determination and regulatory approval in other jurisdictions.
Qantas Group Chief Executive Officer, Alan Joyce, said the ACCC's draft determination was an important step towards delivering a better travel experience for millions of customers.
"We put a strong case to the ACCC that outlined the benefits of this partnership, both for travellers and for Australian tourism," said Mr Joyce.
"Our customer research has shown very strong support for the Qantas and Emirates partnership, particularly in terms of increasing one-stop access to Europe, cutting travel time and offering frequent flyer benefits.
"We will now focus on responding to the issue raised by the ACCC in relation to the trans-Tasman as we move to securing final approval of this landmark partnership," added Mr Joyce.
President of Emirates Tim Clark said that the positive response from its customers had been matched with enthusiasm from the local tourism sector.
"The feedback since the Emirates and Qantas partnership was announced has been positive and reinforces what a strong match the two brands are for each other," said Mr Clark.
"Australia is one of the top three destinations in the Emirates network, popular for our business and leisure travellers alike.
"The partnership with Qantas means we can add regional destinations like the Gold Coast and Hobart to the growing list of places we offer Emirates customers worldwide," added Mr Clark.
Since announcing the proposed partnership in September, Emirates and Qantas have started initial preparations that do not require regulatory approval, including connecting IT systems, designing frequent flyer benefits and establishing an operational base for Qantas in Dubai.

Troubleshooting Wiki for the Siebel Plug-in
By Kenneth E. on Jun 08, 2012
There are a number of initiatives underway to provide better troubleshooting tools and diagnostics for the Siebel Plug-in. We'll make sure that we announce those as soon as they are available.
In the meantime, I wanted to make everyone aware of an existing Wiki that provides troubleshooting tips/techniques, as well as a list of common issues. Unfortunately, this Wiki is only accessbile to internal Oracle employees. The wiki is located here.
In addition to the troubleshooting information, one of the more valuable aspects of the Wiki is a listing of the latest requried patches for the Siebel Plug-in. This list is maintained by our Engineering staff, and reflects the latest information on required patches for all current releases (i.e., 12c, 11g, and 10.2.0.5). The list of patches can be accessed here.

INDIANAPOLIS - Based upon assurances made by CTB McGraw-Hill, the Indiana Department of Education will continue ISTEP+ testing for Hoosier school tomorrow, Thursday, May 2. In order to minimize interruptions to students, the Department has again asked schools to reduce their daily testing load by approximately 50%.
Schools have reported minimal interruptions throughout the day and as of 3:45 PM, over 300,000 testing sessions were completed statewide Wednesday.
The Department of Education has maintained constant with schools throughout the state as they navigate through this difficult situation. The Department remains committed to working with schools to ensure that they have the time they need to guarantee all Hoosier students have the opportunity to take a fair test.

Borgy Manotoc
I found a kindred spirit in Borgy Manotoc: poster prince of the Philippines and grandson of the ever-iconic Imelda Marcos. Just like me, Borgy picks out fabrics and has his tailor turn them into shirts, he dyes his clothes, and even designs his own signet rings. His style is effortlessly eclectic, and he brings this sense of ease in the many projects he is involved in: modelling, design, social media consulting, and management of the franchise of Dr. Martens in Manila. He is an invaluable force in the growing Manila creative scene. Borgy was both arrestingly handsome and impossibly talkative; shooting him was a riot.

Impressive! I like his sense of style.
Love his style!
This is cool!
FABulous style. You captured him beautifully. I love it all.
(A first hermes bag is a very lovely thing.)
Happy New Year to you!!!
What a breath of fresh air! He's a smart and articulate dude to boot.
I'm really enjoying his style, it's quite refreshing and I can see lots of things that I'm quite sure I'd suit. The way he wears it anyway just works, hard to explain. The colours, fits, patterns. Well captured mate.
How wonderful again
I'm really amazed at how he rocks everything he wears. Such great style–conserved and limitless, a great juxtaposition.

The extermination of a prairie dog colony and sudden appearance of white crosses on their empty burrows has Parker residents — and even one of the property owners — wondering what happened.
Parkerites driving or walking by the northeast corner of Mainstreet and Twenty Mile Road have observed hundreds of crosses, which are made out of tongue-depressors and have messages of "RIP Prairie Dog" written on them. Resident have also noticed the conspicuous absence of the prairie dog families that scurried around the vacant land as recently as August.
Megan Foster, a Parker resident for five years, called town officials after seeing that the prairie dog colony had been "wiped out." She drives past the site nearly every day while taking her teenage son to Railbender Park up the street.
"We're wondering as a community what happened to that little prairie dog village," said Foster, who first saw the crosses two weeks ago. "We sit and watch them when we're at the light. They had babies out there in the spring."
Elise Penington, spokeswoman for the Town of Parker, said the community development department does not regulate the elimination of prairie dogs on private property, and that no violations were committed because the species is not protected.
A Brunswick Zone bowling alley was proposed for land nearby in 2007, but those plans were put on indefinite hold the following year when the economy bottomed out. There are no pending requests or imminent plans for development on the corner, Penington said.
Even one of the lot owners, Parker-based McCabe Holdings LLC, is unsure why the prairie dogs vanished. Jerry Sturgess, one of the principals of the holding company, said no one asked their permission to exterminate, and he is unsure who placed the crosses on the land.
"We weren't involved with it and I don't know why the prairie dogs are gone, but I'm interested in finding out," he said.
Sturgess, who said the crosses will "probably" be removed, confirmed that there are no immediate plans to develop the land, but said there has been talk about possibly putting a few lots up for sale. The company has regular meetings with adjacent property owners to discuss proposals and possible sales.
"I would have expected if it was one of them, they would have talked to us," Sturgess said. "They see us enough that they wouldn't have an excuse for not talking to us."
Phone numbers for the owners of lots 33, 36 and 37 — identified in public property records as Jacksonville, Fla.-based The Main and 20 Center and Brunswick Zone XL Colorado Springs LLC — were not listed.
Foster pointed out that there also are no signs of prairie dogs on the large lot immediately south of the AMC Twenty Mile 10 movie theater.
"Why were they killed if they haven't even sold the property?" she said.
McCabe Holdings LLC did not learn about the extermination or the crosses until Town of Parker representatives called them last week. Sturgess stopped by to take photos and make sure there were no "baits" or traps. He's hoping someone can tell him why activities have taken place on the land without consent.
No one has taken responsibility for the crosses. It is unclear when they were placed at the site or when the prairie dogs vanished.
Those with tips about what happened to the colony or the crosses should send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

TAYLORSVILLE / PRICE - On June 24, 2010 we lost our mom, grandma, sister, Aunt Neen, and friend, Daphine Williams. She was born Oct. 6, 1927 to Howard Derral and Flora Brasher Rowley in Huntington, Utah. She grew up in Huntington, later attending school in Salt Lake City. Mom returned to Price where she worked for Mountain Bell as a telephone operator and met and married my father Bob Lamont Williams on Aug. 26, 1950 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Graveside service and interment were held Monday, June 28, 2010 at 11 a.m. in the Price City Cemetery. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Daphine at www.fausettmortuary.com.

he's not biased towards Canadian skaters, though, he's into entertaining skaters (he really likes Ryan Bradley, for instance)
it sounds, somewhat, like Sandra, but I don't remember that being one of her catch phrases
I have no idea who says "second to none" and all I watch is Canadian TV - can't stand Scott or Sandra.
It could be PJ Kwong?
I like Tracy Wilson the best....she has lots of insights and never take sides (I sometimes wish she does, lol). I really like the way she said about why Crone/Piorier got higher marks than Weaver/Poje despite the big mistake.
Tracy DOES take sides... holy cow... she was borderline cold in 2006 when commentating Ice Dance and it came to Melissa and Denis... (though most of NBC was like that)
Hamilton is fine for me to commentate the Nationals (except when his comparison dragged the king of the skating into it.). But when it comes to the international competitions, I couldn't stand his biased comments and sometimes unreasonable praise on American skaters. Bezic is OK, though I am not crazy about her either.
biased comments? how is "he nailed it" biased? LOL
Well, the worst thing he did was during 2002 Olympics men's skating. I still haven't forgiven him yet.
the worst he did in 2002 was the pairs competition... the men's event was fine (?) I don't remember that being controversial... (other than the fact that Plushenko got higher marks than I thought he should )
I've never liked Rosie O'Donnell. It seems her job is to just sit in front of her computer blogging and talking crap about various people. I'm glad I missed that disgusting comment she made regarding Elena yet coming from her I'm not surprised. She always comes across and bitter and unhappy with an ax to grind.
I hope Tracy Wilson will be in the booth next weekend. It would be nice if Suzie Wynne were there too. Along with Wylie, they are all very good at explaining COP relatively concisely and don't harp on it's drawbacks all the time. For Tracy and Suzie, they are probably used to restrictive rules and constant changes in standards more than singles or pairs skaters are, so they can accept what they have to work with and make the best of it. Just a thought.
I love SH and his commentary. I love how excited and passionate he is about skating. I did think it was comical at the men's event when Sandra keep saying something like: "the energy and passion that the skaters have will not be reflected in their marks." Scott then would try to remind her about the second mark and Sandra would say something like "yeah, but it doesn't usually count because of the technical marks." Sorry, those aren't official quotes, just what I'm remembering. She seems to be argumentative and doesn't take into consideration anything that isn't her own opinion.
she and Dick Button are alike in that way - and she just absolutely HATES the CoP (still don't get why, it would have really helped with that little bobble with the Russian team in 2002, judging by her own pickiness) - Scott is slowly coming around to at least trying to understand it because the 6.0 system ain't never coming back... I give him a lot of credit for sticking up for it the other night.

So far so good, but runs very small!
"I'm wearing these for the first time today, and they are very comfortable. However, if you are at all iffy on the size, make sure to choose the larger size. I usually wear an 11, but in some styles wear a 10-1/2. These are so snug that I had to check and make sure they were really size 11. Other than that, though, they look and feel great."

As a stone is thrown into the water and creates ripples, so does domestic violence create ripples in the lives of those affected by the offender. Each person in the life of a victim is affected is some way, and children are affected in brain development.
Jacci Graham of the Children's Service Society, Grandfamilies organization presented a program during the 10th annual Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition luncheon. Grandfamilies provides support for kinship caregivers. Those caregivers are defined as someone who is caring for and raising any relatives child. In Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis counties alone, there are more than 12,000 children in kinship caregiver situations.
Kinship caregivers are raising a child of a relative mostly due to drug abuse situations. These types of relationships allow a child to recover and heal while still retaining some connection to their own family.
Graham said, "Most people have no idea how drug abuse by a parent can affect a child. Most of the abuse in these situations comes from neglect. Neglect is so damaging on the emotional side. Physical abuse heals relatively quickly compared to emotional abuse. In a neglect situation, the child begins to feel they are not worth being taken care of."
Graham suggested a moment of silence for the victims of domestic violence for those caught in the ripple effect. The victim is abused, then abuse passes to the children, then to others in the immediate vicinity, then extended family members, teachers, friends, law enforcement officers, and then on to the taxpayers. "We need more education for victims, with highlights on the ripple effects to children," said Graham.
There is a need to break the cycle and understand why a person chooses to stay in a domestic violence relationship, or leaves one only to end up right in the center of another. A person who leaves a domestic violence situation immediately begins to think about the basic necessities of life including housing, food and shelter. Meeting their physiological needs is the most basic requirement. They begin to think that if they do not go back, they will no longer be able to feed the children or supply a place to live. That is the reason most people go back into the abusive relationship.
Graham said counselors should be aware of this and make arrangements to meet the immediate physiological needs of the children and the parent who has left the situation. When that immediate need is met, the other needs, such as treating the mental health issues can be taken care of next.
"We cannot fix what has happened, we must work to teach the victim to build a better tomorrow," Graham said. "We must help them center in today and not dwell on the yesterday."
The brain is divided into three parts, the stem, the mid section, and the cerebral cortex. The brain stem controls all the bodily functions so a person does not need to think constantly about taking a breath and other automatic things. The mid section of the brain regulates emotions, the pleasure center, and the fight of flight mechanism. The cerebral cortex deals with problem solving, planning, conscience, language, creativity and the God spot. If a brain is caught in the mid section, reasoning is out of the question.
To deal with an abuse victim, the brain must be calmed from the mid section before you can reason with them. Graham said the best way to do that is to have the person take three deep, calming breaths. This shuts down the fight or flight mechanism and brings some reasoning back.
In children involved in abusive situations, the physiology of the brain changes and certain parts shut down. Healthy brains have well developed cerebral cortexes and an abused child with an underdeveloped cortex have no coping mechanisms. A child's exposure to domestic violence decreases their productivity and coping skills.
Graham gave several tips for first responders to a domestic violence situation. Mirror image the victims behavior. This helps the victim to connect with the responder. Have the victim take several deep, cleansing breaths before questioning the victim. Also, ground the client in the "here and now." Create an atmosphere for forward thinking.
First responders must also set strict boundaries for themselves including proximity limits. They must obtain the proper training and get help for their own issues before trying to help someone else. A first responder must get help if: they want to continually talk about cases; they no longer feel empathy to the victims; and is they are experiencing sleep, anger, or sex issues.

1991 Dodge Ram Wagon B150 Repair and Maintenance Costs

Verified by mechanics, reported by drivers like you
1991 Dodge Ram Wagon B150 ProblemsErratic Blower Motor Operation Due to Overheated Switch
The blower motor may operate erratically and the blower switch operation has a sticky or mushy feeling, the detents almost non existent. Our technicians tell us that the blower switch should be removed and inspected for overheating. This is common if the blower motor is frequently operated on high speed as the current flow through the switch tends to melt internal the components. Also carefully inspect all of the switch connector terminals for discoloration due to overheating and replace as required. A poor electrical contact at the connector will also cause the switch to overheat.
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
On the 3.9L V6, 5.2L V8 and 5.9L V8 the Oil leaks commonly from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front and rear), timing cover gaskets, distributor O-ring, and the rear main seal area. Using fluorescent engine oil dye can be helpful in determining the source(s) of the oil leak.

Neal Spencer, British Museum
With departure for Sudan only weeks away, we're putting together the final preparations for our fourth season of fieldwork at Amara West. Flights are booked, visas obtained, inoculations accumulated – and we have defined the key priorities for excavations in the town.
However, more mundane matters are currently being attended to.
As with most archaeology projects, the team needs a range of equipment, from specialist technical devices through to simple tools. Nearly all have one thing in common – none were designed specifically for archaeology!
From the builder's toolbox we use trowels, measuring tapes, wheelbarrows, nails and hammers. While art shops provide us with the drafting film, tracing paper and of course pencils.
The surveyor's total station – for accurately measuring distance and areas – is probably our most advanced piece of equipment. Less advanced but also important are the good quality plastic bags we need for all of the finds, samples and skeletal remains. With severe snow forecast for the UK, we're hoping deliveries of equipment are not disrupted.
In our case, the lack of materials available near Amara West makes our task more difficult. Computers, cameras and specialist equipment comes from the UK (while we can buy a certain amount in Khartoum, it can be very expensive). Nonetheless, we make great use of local traders in Abri, the modern town across the Nile from Amara West, especially in the first few days of the season.
The carpenter provides us with trestle tables for working and dining, but also produces small botanical sieves (we bring the 5mm, 1mm and 0.5mm mesh out from the UK) and our drawing boards. At the blacksmith we can order metal tables, iron spikes for marking out trenches and even stands for our water filters.
Lamps, wiring, bulbs, shovels, plastic buckets (for showering and washing pottery), sugar sacks (for carrying spoil) and many brushes (for cleaning excavated features) come from the local hardware store.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico– Canada showed a big improvement on Saturday evening in a 25-15, 25-23, 21-25, 26-24 loss to Argentina in Pool A action at the Pan Am Cup women's volleyball tournament.
Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., finished with 16 points and Kyla Richey of Roberts Creek, B.C., added 12. Lucy Charuk of Tsawwassen, B.C., scored nine and Nadine Alphonse of Montreal earned five of her eight points blocking.
"We had up and downs but played well in the second and third sets when our blocking was good," said Canadian team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man. "I hope we can bounce back tomorrow."
Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig wants his troops to polish their game in the crucial moments.
"They played better than us at the end of the sets," he said. "I have a couple of inexperienced players who are taking the tournament as a learning lesson."
With the loss Canada drops to 0-2. The other teams in Canada's pool are Cuba, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Pool B is comprised of Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S., and Peru.

She that once was barren doth today bring forth Christ's Forerunner, John, the culmination and the crown of all the Prophets. For when he, in River Jordan, laid his hand on Him Whom the Prophets preached aforetime, he was revealed as God the Word's fore-chosen Prophet, His mighty preacher, and His Forerunner in grace.

its a gorgeous afternoon here...
dull and cloudy..
its mighty
Sunny, warmer, another beautiful autumn day
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
cloudy, rainy, autumn.
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
warm, partly cloudy
its also mighty
Bright with a few clouds and 15c..
Merry Christmas to all...
its chilly..brrrrr!

Rochester is among the poorest communities in the nation, a report released Tuesday by the Rochester Area Community Foundation and ACT Rochester found.
The organizations released findings that showed 160,699 people in the nine-country region surrounding Rochester live below the federal poverty level. The highest concentration of the poor live in the city of Rochester, but the majority of the region's poor people—59 percent—live outside the city, the report states.
The concentration of poor within the city is pushing Rochester higher in rankings of poor U.S. cities, the report states. Rochester is the fifth-poorest city among the 75 largest metropolitan areas and second-poorest among comparably sized cities in those metro areas. Rochester also has the poorest school district in Upstate New York and the poorest urban district in the entire state, the report notes.
"It is time for us to acknowledge Greater Rochester's poverty so that we can begin to address and reverse its insidious effects on our education, economy and future as a region," said Jennifer Leonard, Community Foundation president and CEO.
The 49-page report details the levels of poverty in surrounding counties, including levels for cities, towns and villages. Community Foundation officials said they hope the report will spark a discussion and lead to action that better addresses the problem of poverty in the region.

"Working closely with experienced film and television professionals, we've spent almost two years developing high output LED chips," said Ray Wolffe, President, B&M Lighting. "Using Mac Tech LED, a production can use only Edison plugs and stingers, utilize 50K hour bulbs and save on air conditioning because the LED tubes run cool."
For application in a wide variety of environments, Mac Tech LED Lighting is comprised of four product lines: LED Sled, Slimline, Soft Boxes and China Lights. The fixtures are assembled in Sun Valley from 100% recyclable aluminum.
"With the instrument's superior quality of light output and rugged construction, we have already had a great response from the production community," said Rick Maas, Vice President, Universal Studios Set Lighting. "With Mac Tech LED, clients have the option of production tested lighting that is easier to install and significantly reduces their power distribution needs."

Fishing Cover/Structure
Habitat in Striker Reservoir consists of standing timber, boat docks, and lily pads. Game fish are typically found around brush, points, boat docks, and creek channels.
Tips & Tactics
Anglers catch largemouth and spotted bass year-round at Striker Reservoir. Due to the turbid conditions, fish stay in relatively shallow water. A variety of baits and techniques including spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastics catch bass at Striker. Channel catfish are typically caught with stinkbait or liver fished around areas baited with soured grain or dog food. Sunfish, especially bluegill and redear sunfish, can be caught year-round and provide fast action, especially during the late spring or summer when fish are on their spawning beds. Small jigs, spinners, and crickets all catch sunfish.

I just wish they would make Asherons Call 3 and make it more like the original with modern graphics...
Really hard to get back into these days. Mostly bots, Not alot of direction when it comes to what has been added, players are not very social anymore becuase they are all tight knit groups.
Great game, just past its prime.
