River Flooding Turns Homes Into Islands Along Pend Oreille
NEWPORT, Wash. - The Pend Oreille River is near record highs, has washed away docks, beaches and picnic areas on both sides of the river near Newport and is threatening homes along LeClerc Road.
People that live in this area say the river hasn't been this high in years.
Lucy Bauer has lived near the Pend Oreille River for 10 years.
"We have stairs, wonderful stairs that go down to the river, and a beach where I keep my kayaks and everything is gone," Bauer said.
The river has submerged the 14-foot drop to Lucy's beach, she says thanks to the rain and spring runoff the river has been gradually rising up to two feet everyday.
"We got water everywhere and we are almost becoming an island," she said.
Some houses have already become islands, several homes are completely surrounded by water with driveways washed away and their only access is by boat.
"If things go bad I will just get on my kayak," Bauer said.
Lucy isn't worried, because her house is on stilts, but her neighbors have started sandbagging trying to protect their garages and homes. She says they have decided no matter what happens they are not going to leave, they will continue to watch the river rise and hopefully sooner than later go back down.
"Most of us have water transportation whether its kayak or motor boats or runabouts," Bauer said.
People that have lived in this area for decades say they last time they remember the river being this high was in 1997.

Markets across Asia suffered another bruising day as investors scrambled for the exits, with Japanese stocks falling over 6% and into a bear market, and heavy losses in China and across Southeast Asia.
The selloff has gripped global markets all week, fueled by uncertainty over the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and signs of cooling growth in emerging economies. The mounting worries are sending cash to traditional safe haven assets of Treasuries, the yen and Japanese government bonds while finance ministers and central banks across the region are taking steps to calm markets.
U.S. stock futures turned higher and European stocks pared losses after better-than-expected showings on retail sales and jobless claims.
About 30 minutes ahead of the open, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 11 points, or 0.1%, to 14989. Dow futures were down as much as 102 points earlier in the session, and lower by about 30 points just prior to the release of the data. Most major European indexes were down by less than 1% in the European afternoon.
"It is a sentiment driven fall that is feeding on itself," said Nader Naeimi, head of dynamic asset allocation AMP Capital Investors in Sydney, who helps the firm manage around $120 billion. "Investors seem to be taking profits wherever they can."
The most dramatic move was in Japan, with the Nikkei Stock Average falling 6.4% to 12445.38 and putting it 21.9% down from the intraday peak reached on May 23, the day Japan's 6-month rally turned south and begun three weeks of wild trading.
"All of a sudden, ka-boom, markets have deflated heavily," said Matthew Sherwood, head of investment market research at Perpetual in Sydney, which manages around $25 billion. Over the past five weeks investors have been disappointed both by the Fed suggesting it may pull back on its bond-buying program and over Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's long-term growth strategy, said Mr. Sherwood.
The fear that the Fed could change its monetary policy, along with signs that the U.S. economy is recovering, has encouraged investors to pull money out of emerging markets that are typically perceived as risky.
The resulting outflows have hit some of Asia's smaller markets the hardest—such as the Philippines and Thailand, which were down 6.8% and 2.1% respectively Thursday. Along with Japan, these markets were previously some of the region's best performers before the selloff started.
Some investors say the dramatic declines may be too much though, and this could just be a bout of volatility.
"Investors have spent several years allocating to emerging assets with liquidity from quantitative easing," said Kenneth Akintewe, a portfolio manager of local currency Asian bonds at Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited. "Now they are arguably overreacting to a possible reduction in policy stimulus, although the Fed's not going to take it away any time soon."
Moves so far by countries to stem the slide in markets and the exodus of cash have had mixed results. Indonesian stocks fell 1.9% even after the central bank raised its benchmark interest rate Thursday to boost the allure of the falling currency.
The increase came a month earlier than most economists were expecting, with Bank Indonesia saying it "is a pre-emptive response to rising inflation expectations and to safeguard macroeconomic and financial system stability amid global turmoil."
In India, the rupee has stabilized after the central bank Tuesday dived into the foreign-exchange markets to boost the local currency, though stocks have continued to fall.
"I don't think there's any reason to panic," Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said Thursday. "Steps are being taken to ensure that the rupee will find its level, and it's quite possible it will regain the losses it has suffered in the last few days."
Investors remain worried though because a weak rupee eats into their returns when they reconvert into dollars. The Bombay Stock Exchange Sensex fell 1%.
"The rupee weakness is likely to keep foreign investors away," said P.V.K. Mohan, head of equities at Principal Mutual Fund, a Mumbai firm which manages $344 million in stock funds.
In Thailand where the baht has fallen recently, the finance minister said it is at an "appropriate" level and that outflows were to blame. In Korea, the central bank said the yen's recent swings and the possible end to aggressive monetary easing in the U.S. are key downside risks for the country's growth.
The other dampener to sentiment came from China. Chinese stocks plunged after markets in the mainland reopened after a three-day public holiday, getting their first chance to react to signs the economy is slowing.
The Shanghai Composite Index hit a six-month low of 2126.22 in the session and finished down 2.8% at 2148.36. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, a measure of Chinese companies in Hong Kong, plunged 3.4%, its worst percentage fall since May 2012.
The dollar was last at ¥94.52 compared with ¥96.01 late Wednesday in New York. The dollar hit a two-month low against the dollar of ¥93.76 earlier in the session and has now lost around 9.2% of its value against the yen from the multiyear peak it reached on May 22.

They must be trying to get rid of overstock. I don't know WalMart's policy on price adjustments but I know many have posted buying figures from WM in the last week and may be entitled to a price adjustment.

Robot connects Spokane doctors with rural patients
DAVENPORT, Wash. - Spokane doctors now have the ability to reach out and help diagnose and treat those in need in rural communities from the convenience of their hospital in the city.
With fewer doctors and shrinking budgets, rural hospitals are trying to find ways to bring specialists into smaller communities and technology is helping them bridge that gap.
Aptly nicknamed Hawkeye, an InTouch robot connects Lincoln Hospital in Davenport to Sacred Heart Medical Center's stroke center.Rural robot healthcare
"It's not your old school robot," Dr. Fred Reed said.
"The technology allows us to be able to bring the specialist to the bedside, right to the patient in their home community, and be able to take care of them here," Tom Martin said. "It allows these rural hospitals to actually become extensions of the large urban community hospital."
When a doctor encounters a stroke patient with complications he or she is not familiar with they can immediately dial up a Sacred Heart specialist. Instead of putting that patient in an ambulance or MedStar helicopter they can use the InTouch robot to treat the patient.
With tightening budgets often times rural hospitals struggle to employ specialists; across the United States there are fewer than 100 stroke fellowships a year. To assist doctors, Hawkeye comes equipped with a video monitor, cameras, microphone and even a stethoscope for the doctor on the other end of the line, meaning stroke specialty doctors in Spokane can treat patients as far away as Davenport.
"Some things are just too hard to describe over the phone. Some things you try to communicate but there's just not words for it," Dr. Madeleine Geraghty explained.
However with Hawkeye, Sacred Heart can be a hub while rural hospitals are the spokes, one center connecting multiple hospitals to form a solid health care circle, which leads to "stepping across hospital boundaries and sharing access to physicians and access to networks," Geraghty said.

Baking| Ottolenghis Brilliant Focaccia … doesn't get better than this!
"The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight."
M.F.K. Fisher
It was bread baking day. Sometime days are like that, now rather rare, and with a relatively 'free' day comes the urge to make bread. Chatting with Sangeeta on FB, she was sipping her morning tea, me already on my second coffee and the laundry whirring annoyingly, I was hit with a 'bread baking feeling' . By afternoon I had a brilliant Focaccia bursting with flavour yelling to get out of the oven!The bread recipe caught me by surprise. In my head I had a slightly quicker bread, something which would just do a single rise, yeast & all. I turned to one of my all time favourite books, Ottolenghi, The Cookbook but didn't read the recipe thoroughly though …I always heel 'happy' when I read the book – so much quality food, fresh produce holding the key to the end result, recipes from the heart, colours and flavours that leap out of the pages … and photographs that tantalise the tastebuds! Even if I don't cook / bake out of it, it keeps me strangely satisfied! I weighed the ingredients, added the water … and took a double take! This was just the starter, or a preferment! There was going to be LOTS of bread! For some reason the elder teen rejects bread these days because of her diet, cutting back carbs etc, yet the rainy weather had me in a bread baking frame of mind!! I wanted to bake real bread, slow bread … not a quick, non yeast bread! Thankfully the trusted Thermomix is always at hand and takes the work out of kneading. There was plenty of rising to happen. First the preferment, then the 1st rise, then some folding {almost like rough puff pastry}, then some more rise. All this folding and rising resulted in a delightfully nice dough… and in turn, a delightfully nice bread!I baked half on day one and punched down the other half and refrigerated it for day two. NICE!! It was even better the next day with a third slow rise in the fridge … and 'bubbly and squeaky' as Dorie Greenspan would call it! It's a beautiful dough to have in the fridge. Both days the bread didn't last long… quite an addictive bake!Even the dieting diva loved it and couldn't stop nibbling. It's no nice and chewy she declared! That's the beauty of Ottolenghis recipes…they ALWAYS deliver. The kids had focaccia sandwiches for dinner that night with chicken salami, homemade pesto and mozzarella. The verdict – ♥♥♥!The dehydrated tomatoes from Fab India were SO disappointing; I'm not going back there in a hurry! On the other hand, the queen olives stuffed with pimento from Leonardo are absolute winners. That jar's not safe once it's open … you cannot keep away from it … delectable! So is the Leonardo Gold Olive Oil that I slathered on top … it just made the bread sing!!It's a bread I am going to make often. I like that it baked even better the next day, so maybe the next time I leave it in the fridge for a slow overnight rise. Bread baking days are here again … and I'm loving it!! I am also excited as I have a sourdough starter from Sangeeta on my counter {it's alive and bubbling I think} and I can see more bread in the coming days!

Summary: Bursting with flavour, chewy focaccia with great flavour and texture. Another winner from Ottolenghi {minimally adpted from Ottolenghi, The Cookbook}
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes {plus rising time}
- Dough
- 330g plain flour
- 1 tsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 8-10 cloves garlic, sliced {can reduce if you like}
- 50g pitted queen olives with pimento {I use Leonardo}
- Fresh basil, black olives, sundried tomatoes
- Starter
- 1 1/2 tsp active dried yeast
- 420ml luke warm water
- 300g plain flour
- 30g vital gluten
- Starter/Preferment
- For the starter put the yeast and water in a large mixing bowl and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the flour and stir until there is a porridge like consistency. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave somewhere warm for about an hour until it has doubled in size. {will take longer in winter}.
- Thermomix: Place starter ingredients in bowl of TM, mix at Speed 6 for 30seconds. Cover and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Dough
- Mix the starter with the flour, sugar and olive oil. Knead for about six minutes, then add the salt and knead further until the salt is mixed through.
- Thermomix: Place starter and remaining dough ingredients in bowl of TM, mix at Speed 6 for 30seconds, then knead for 4 minutes.
- Brush a large bowl with oil, place the dough in it and brush the surface of the dough with more oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place for one hour or until the dough has again doubled in size.
- Turn the dough on to a floured bench and stretch and flatten it into a rectangle. Take one of the short ends of the rectangle and fold it into the centre, take the other end and fold it over the first one to form three layers of dough.{I added olives and lots of garlic into the layers too}
- Brush a heavy baking tray {around 30cm x 40cm} with oil. Lift the dough on to the tray and flatten it by pressing hard with your hands. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for another hour. During this time check on the dough a couple of times and press it down, spreading it to the edges of the tray.
- Preheat the oven to 220C. Press the olives and rosemary into the top of the focaccia and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the oven for 10 mins and then reduce the heat to 190C and continue for 15-20 mins or until golden. When it is out of the oven and still hot brush with plenty of olive oil.

Three senators reveal competing mining amendments
Senate to take up bill Wednesday
MADISON, Wis. - Three state senators, two Democrats and a Republican, revealed a series of amendments they plan to introduce during debate on a controversial mining bill Wednesday.
Republican Senate leaders have the votes to pass the bill in the Senate, where a similar measure died last year. They plan to call a vote after floor debate Wednesday.
Sens. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, and Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, said their amendments would increase environmental protections and ensure a mining company pay taxes on the iron ore it extracts.
"It could be years, it could be a decade, it may be never that taxes will be paid on ore taken out of this state," Schultz said.
The three senators said they were concerned that companies, such as Florida-based Gogebic Taconite, which wants to build a mine in northern Wisconsin, could get around paying taxes by manipulating their net revenue.
Instead, the senators said Gogebic and any other mining company should pay taxes on their gross receipts.
An amendment made two weeks ago addresses that, said Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, the Senate bill's sponsor.
"The company has to use generally accepted accounting principles, in other words, they need to use legitimate accounting principles, to report their revenues -- which is protective of the taxpayers," Tiffany said.
He said "significant revenues" would flow to local communities in northern Wisconsin, not to mention thousands of jobs the mine would create.
Tiffany said he couldn't back the other senators' alternative proposals because they would delay the process of getting a new mine approved.
The state Department of Natural Resources' rule-making process could take two years, he said.
Cullen said the DNR's involvement is almost non-existent in the current Republican bill.
"They've basically put the DNR on the sidelines," he said. "I think, as Wisconsinites, we ought to keep Wisconsin in the process and not have laws that knock us out of the process."
Jauch said his northern Wisconsin constituents have been "10 to 1" in their opposition to the mine.
He said the Bad River Band of Chippewa could sue over the legislation, meaning no jobs would be created for years.
"This legislation, instead of creating certainty, creates legal uncertainty," he said. "It is an invitation to litigation."Three senators reveal competing mining amendments
If the bill passes in the Senate, it would move to the Assembly.
Republican leaders have said they will bring the measure to a vote in the Assembly next week.

Qualifiable Eligibility Index
Am I Eligible?
The "eligibility index" is a calculation based upon your high school grade point average and your test scores.
For test scores when we calculate the eligibility index, we can use either the ACT or the SAT. If you take both tests, or take a particular test more than once, we will use the highest test scores for each area. For the SAT, we use the combined total of the SAT verbal/critical reading score plus the SAT mathematics score. For the ACT, we use the "composite" score. At this time, the California State University does not use the writing/essay scores from either the SAT or ACT.
The high school grade point average is based on courses taken during 10th through 12th grades which are considered "college preparatory." The grades for non-college preparatory courses, such as keyboarding, work experience or instructional aide, are not counted at all.
Honors or Advanced Placement (AP) courses taken in 11th and 12th grades with grades of C or higher are awarded extra grade points. For example, normally in high school a grade of A counts as 4 grade points. If the course is an honors course or an AP course, a grade of A would count as 5 grade points. If you happen to receive a grade of D in an honors or AP course, no extra grade points are counted.
You can calculate your eligibility index by multiplying your grade point average by 800 and adding your total score (verbal/critical reading + mathematics) on the SAT. Or, if you took the ACT, multiply your grade point average by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score. If you are a California high school graduate (or a resident of California for tuition purposes), you need a minimum eligibility index of 2900 using the SAT or 694 using the ACT. If you apply for admission before you graduate from high school, you should compute your GPA using grades earned in courses completed after the 9th grade (including summer courses taken between your 9th and 10th grades). Do not include grades you expect to earn in courses during the remainder of 12th grade.
Non-Resident Eligibility Index
If you are neither a graduate of a California high school nor a resident of California for tuition purposes, you need a minimum index of 3502 (SAT) or 842 (ACT).
Graduates of secondary schools in foreign countries must be judged to have academic preparation and abilities equivalent to applicants eligible under this section. Our international evaluator will make this determination, based on your transcript and the educational standards of the country where the coursework was taken.

Prolific quilt book author and pattern designer Barbara Brandeburg has mixed a bit of old with new in her newest set of patterns, and we think they are Awesome (with a capital A!). I mean, just look at those owls!! You will love the fun, flighty new designs and the refreshed variations of her "back by popular demand" quilts. She tells us more about the thought behind these delightful designs today!
Hi there! I'm excited to be a guest blogger today for Jolly Jabber! I've been designing quilting and sewing patterns for fifteen years under the Cabbage Rose label. Many of you are familiar with the books I've published over the years. Two years ago I decided to come full circle and do patterns again. It has been very liberating and exciting to be right back where I started – designing projects in whatever direction my mood carries me. With book publishing, you usually have to stick to a theme for a grouping of projects, so this has been a fun format for me to return to. I live in Redding, California, with my husband. My daughter is finishing up college and my son is in Washington with his family. He is a Night Stalker in the US Army, involving helicopters and some pretty amazing stuff.
This new grouping of patterns was really fun to work on. There has been a lot of gloomy economic stuff on the news lately, and I just felt I needed cheering up. I figured I wasn't the only one. Like most of my work, it all started with the fabric -- a happy Jelly Roll bundle by my favorite designer, Mary Engelbreit, in her Baskets of Flowers collection by Moda Fabrics. The Jelly Roll Seasons Bag is a new and slightly smaller version of my original Jelly Roll Bag, which was a popular hit. This pattern includes little appliqué pockets that can be changed each season with Velcro pieces sewn to the pocket corners. Well, more is better, right?! I couldn't stop at four seasons, so my little bird appliqués are a bonus block.
Mister Who is a project I worked on with my sister, Carol Burniston, who is also a quilting author with C&T Publishing. She used traditional colors in the green, turquoise, and chocolate brown colors that are so popular right now. I can't wait to see this cute pattern worked up in other color ways. Send me your pictures!
I get many, many e-mails requesting patterns from some of my out-of-print books. New technology and the ease of printing individual patterns allowed me to freshen up some of my old favorites. Carrot Cake also includes the original French Rose pattern, and can be made from layer cakes! My daughter picked out the fabrics for Carrot Cake and wasn't very happy when she visited my blog, discovering I had used her yardage, so I'll have to make it up to her.
I decided to do Dresden and the original Dresden Posie because of the revival of English Paper piecing that seems to be popping up everywhere. This pattern uses easy freezer paper appliqué and fusible appliqué, yet also has templates for paper piecing and needle turn applique. I've included an "easy does it" method for completing the Dresden points, so this is a great way to pick up some new appliqué skills and expand your repertoire.
I hope you have fun with my new cheery projects! Be sure to stop by the blog and say hello. I'll have a new website up in a few weeks.

Hi, I have been working on the Picnic Basket, 2012 by Barbara Brandeburg and Teri Christopherson pattern quilt and driving myself crazy. I have measured, remeasured and measured again and there is no way I can get the top strip set to match up with the right side strip set sewn to the 9 patch. All of my measurements are good. Am I missing something? Is there a step missing? I need help please!!!! I even had another quilter look at it and she cannot figure out where it is wrong either. There is a 1/4" off from the two lining up. But ALL measurements are correct to the pattern. Please help!!
Thank you,

Penny, I fully agree with your sentiment; I want everyone too. I would never say "I don't mind if I don't get this guy or that guy".
I agree with pushing to get everything, hands down.

Funny listening to this after my comments on the last one. The clarification was good at the start for people to hear - it's about which you get to first - concept or very minor non-vintage characters or vintage and major animation characters. Also, the absolute clarification that vintage=MOTU, POP and NA is good. And that animation=He-man and the MOTU, She-Ra and POP, NA, and 200X.
Speaking of the Wind Raider, I am VERY close to buying a second. I just feel it'd be silly too in some ways, but man it's such a cool vehicle and I kind of like the idea of having two. But space is limited... Hmmm...
Eric working on a new MOTU... for next summer.... going to be very exciting... I was just hoping - "I hope it's a PowerCon reveal!" and it won't be... wah wah. I hope there will be plenty at PowerCon. That whole conversation was so painful, but in a fun way.
A good amount of Secret Accessory clues! A happy accident that happened... speculation frenzy go! It is a weapon... oh man, I can't wait to find out what it is!
Back to listening...
Interesting Netossa WAS going to have the headdress but ended up being really heavy on the budget because of new tooling (including her cape) and that's why their was only a shield too. :Sniffle: I am totally cool with her colors and the Filmation look as that's what I prefer overall. But I really do miss the headdress/mask. Maybe we'll get it someday, somehow. Overall, the talk about Netossa was very interesting. The fact that a cloth/net might have been double the cost of a tooled cape was crazy. I never thought it'd be that much of a difference. Glad Scott recognized that fans really want that stuff. Weapons Pak 4? Her face sculpt is probably one of the nicest in the line.
I got goosebumps hearing about Ram Man. Can't wait for that figure.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Road Ripper 3) Dragon Walker 4) Land Shark
I hope we get them all and, when we don't, I'll miss the ones we didn't get - whoever they are.

Listening now
PLEASE!! Someone tell Eric: Bow is/was perfect. The extra detail is AWESOME. It is NOT too far I was surprised to hear him say that he thought the reaction was mixed. Bow seems to be pretty popular among most MOTUC collectors according to the polls over the years.
I don't remember reading that people disliked the detailing. For example, the artistic license taken with the head band from the vintage toy-inspired head was INCREDIBLE!!
As for the style - I'm really enjoying the type of combination design. Bow is great that way. Catra's toy was SO different, so she's difficult to do a combo design for.
Glimmer would benefit from some toy-inspired detailing: her staff... glow in the dark staff and tiara maybe? the skirt? the shoulder armor? the silver? Any of those things added to the Filmation design would be awesome. The toys provide a bank from which there might be details used to bulk up the Filmation designs.

A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Loved the Ram Man talk! I want him NOW. I really think he's about as perfect as can be. Not much more to say about him than that. I was sad we didn't get through more figures though! So many more good things to talk about. I hope Eric can be back for next week too...
Also, I must second the Outer Space Men being amazing! Got my re-release OSM Wave 1 & 2 (I had gotten the first versions, but I really do like the new ones better) and the Cosmic Creator series and they are great.
Great listen! As far as POP figures, I think the Horsemen should look at the Style Guide more-so than the cartoon.
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a headThe B-52's
SO the figure Eric was sculpting is one of Scott's favorites??
A few characters come to mind: Two Bad... Castaspella... Snake Face... ???
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Songster should have been the nod to Freddy Mercury
Again, I agree with Eamon that Rio Blast IS awesome. He's one of my favorites. He always has been. All those kick-butt guns and the cowboy theme. Just so cool!!
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Great Episode.....and hey, I DID vote for Songster!!! Underdog and I wanted one for my DJ booth! And I agree with bcrduke - Freddy Mercury all the way (win/win) I'm also really looking forward to Ram Man.
My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
*deep sigh* Listening to the discussions regarding POP toy vs Filmation looks always leaves me feeling dissatisfied, because we get the same type of answers that shirk the core arguments some of us bring up on the boards.
- - - Updated - - -
Always love when TG and the 4HM talk about the line. Hope we still get Netossa's mask. Sword I am not too worried about but relieved to know Scott is totally aware.
Also cool Scott bringing up the tribal warrior pic. Hes on my custom radar so tip speak. I've got a Demo Man tunic ready, just waiting for more body parts. Plus got to figure how to make his weapons.
Gaping holes in my collection: Regular old Teela, Weapons pack 1, Power & Honour book 1, SDCC artbook (maybe)
Great Ep, brother! i do enjoy when the guests are added to the list, to hear their point of view on certain topics..

awesome show guys! thanks
not that im a POP fan or any sort of authority on the subject; but i think the way that they have been produced and tooled for MOTUC is pretty outstanding ... the aesthetics, look and feel of the figures are great and they are a great mature and modernised version of the POP characters ... i can understand why the 4H didn't draw too much from the classic POP toy-line look as they are just like mini barbie-dolls to me ...

A school bus has overturned in Franklin County, injuring 15 people.
WAFF-TV reports that the school bus from Vina High School overturned after it was struck at a side-angle by a truck Thursday afternoon on Highway 73 at Overton Farm Road in Hodges.
A total of 14 children were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, WAFF-TV reports.
About 29 students were on the bus at the time, and the bus driver helped students escape through the roof. At least four persons were airlifted to hospitals.
Authorities were trying to reconstruct the wreck. The wreck is under investigation.

She is a valuable asset to our organization.
Doug is the Pharmacy IT Coordinator for our facility and does an amazing job. Day after day, he dedicates many long hours to making this district the best it can be. He always keeps patient care at the center of his focus, works hard to improve our level of care by working with Physicians and Pharmacists to help them understand and adopt the latest healthcare technologies. He keeps everyone around him enthusiastic about their work and regularly highlights the difference they make.
Martha goes above and beyond for her patients and her nurses. All nurses love to work with Martha; they know when she is their CNA they don't have to worry about their patient's needs being met. And when her patients are tucked in and sleeping, Martha goes around and cleans the unit. We would like to recognize Martha's outstanding work ethic, Kaweah Care attitude and her commitment to delivering excellent patient care.
Through her diligence, her kind demeanor, and her meticulous efforts, Cheryl Johnson is extremely deserving of the Service Excellence Award. In Cheryl's job description, anything means everything.

It means working with every department in the district on orders for unique projects and monitoring each project efficiently and with great personal care. Kaweah Delta has a gem with Cheryl and we thank her for her commitment to us, her job and our community.

Tammie Hoffman always seeks to serve others with the hope of touching someone's life. She is well-known for her warm, gentle spirit, her integrity, and her deep commitment to her patients. She is described as the nurse who puts others before herself and who always goes the extra mile for patients. She has been caught braiding the hair of elderly patients and ordering food trays for tired, hungry family members. It is a rare day when leaders don't receive praise from patients or staff about Tammie's care.
Joel is the epitome of Kaweah Care. Not only is he always caring toward patients, he is always willing to lend a hand to a coworker in need and is the first to offer help. Joel is a tremendous asset to staff and a natural born leader with great mentoring skills. Joel is a perfect example of staff member who lives the mission and values of Kaweah Delta.

Shock sign Head Coach Olson to 2-year extension
SPOKANE - The Spokane Shock have agreed to a two-year deal with Head Coach Andy Olson that will extend his contract through the 2014 AFL season. Olson has spent time with the Shock as a player (2008-2009), Offensive Coordinator (2011), and after his first season as Head Coach in 2012 has earned his place at the helm for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
"We were extremely happy with the way Coach Olson handled the adversity he faced last season. He has proven his ability to identify strong talent and produce at a high level on the field so we are looking forward to see what he is able to accomplish over the next two seasons with the Shock," said Spokane Shock Owner Brady Nelson.
Olson's first season as Head Coach for the Shock in 2012 ended with a 10-8 overall record. Spokane averaged 59.1 points per game (fifth in the league) which included a 90-point outing against San Jose on June 23rd. Within Coach Olson's offense, QB Kyle Rowley set an AFL single-game touchdown record in that game against the SaberCats (12). K Kenny Spencer set a single-season AFL record for converted PATs (146) and Adron Tennell set single-season franchise records in receptions (157), yardage (1810) and touchdowns (40).

Discover The CTU Experience
The United States does not yet have a national strategy to deal with cybersecurity; cyber law is undeveloped, and while narrow segments of expertise exist inside and outside of government, broad understanding of the threat and what we might do to prepare for, recovery from, and respond to cyber attacks is woefully lacking.
The advice of fiction writers such as Stephen King and Robert A. Heinlein has helped me hone my craft. I learn from the purveyors of the craft who have come before me. Books such as On Writing have caused me to reflect upon the life experiences that make me the writer I am.
Higher education has been a great point of debate throughout this presidential election season. Much can be learned from the platforms of both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and their collective approach to ensuring that Americans have high quality and accessible means to personal and professional development.
The highlight of the conference was Professor Edward Burger's keynote address entitled, "The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking." A captivating speaker, Dr. Burger creatively outlined these five elements of effective—or innovative—thinking, which he linked to the four basic earthly elements which predate Socrates: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water.
I recently returned from a planning conference associated with Exercise Angel Thunder 2013. AT-13, and its Defense Support of Civil Authorities segment (Resolute Angel) are played on an 18-month cycle to exercise local, state, federal, and multinational civil and military agencies in disaster response and – particularly for the military forces – personnel recovery in simulated earthquake and combat scenarios.
Today, as many as 92% of employers and recruiters use social networks to find job candidates – yet only 38% of job seekers report regular use of LinkedIn to find work. With the candidate pool growing more homogeneous and the hiring process almost entirely digital, there's really no denying that a professional presence online is critical to career success.
An entrepreneur is an enlightened renegade who refuses to kow-tow to conventional wisdom and is always willing to bet what they have to get what they want. Entrepreneurs tend to be radicals on a mission to sate a deep-seated passion; an obsessive Promethean (Intuitive-Thinker) willing to sacrifice all for the redemption of a dream. And strange as it may seem, an entrepreneur tends to leap before they look.
There is a tremendous diversity to the threats in the cyber domain and the entities that are behind them. Let's take a closer look at the individuals responsible for the various threats threatening our cybersecurity.
The key to beginning your education, despite the curve balls life will throw, is finding the right balance between organization and time management. These skills are critical to ensuring you can get through these difficult times with your best foot forward.
The MBA is designed to equip the individual with an overall core knowledge of business, with courses in finance, economics, marketing, accounting, strategy and leadership. The MS, on the other hand, offers deep dives into coursework that is aligned with a specialized, or more directed career path.
In recognition of Cybersecurity Awareness month in October, our faculty offer insights on both policy and technical issues related to cybersecurity. In our second post of the series, Bruce Harmon, Ph.D., took a look at the defining terminology making its way into our culture. In today's post, Stephen Recca, M.A., takes a look at four cybersecurity threats from a policy perspective.
CTU's Global Security Series offers background on current national and homeland security topics. Dr. Morag recently participated in the Eastern Accord 2012 Counter Violent Extremism Exercise in Arusha, Tanzania. His second post in this series looked at primary security threats from the trans-national and global Jihadist groups operating in the region. Today's post will focus on some of the economic and social challenges facing Djibouti, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.
Law enforcement has long been a rich source of fodder for the creative minds that keep us entertained in front of the television – not to mention the big screen – year in and year out.
These days, everyone is vulnerable to cybercrime and other breaches to the security of their digital systems and identity. Our world is increasingly connected through computers, smart phones and tablets and an exploding number of apps. This influx of technology makes for that many more digital portals to protect.

Alumni Association, Liberty Mutual to sponsor bowling tournament
BINGHAMTON, NY -- The Binghamton University Alumni Association will hold its second annual bowling tournament at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, January 22, at Midway Lanes in Vestal. This event is open to the public, and has a snow date of Saturday, February 5. Liberty Mutual, provider of the Alumni Association's group discount insurance program, is the presenting sponsor of the event.
In this scratch singles tournament, bowlers will take part in a three-game qualifying round; the top four total scorers advance to a stepladder final. Contestants will bowl on a "sport" pattern, similar to what is used in professional tournaments. Based on 40 entries, this event will award $500 for first place, and about one of every five bowlers will cash. If a bowler rolls 300 in the final round of the tournament, he or she will receive $10,000. The top female and top senior will also win a prize.
Entry fees are $30 for Binghamton University alumni and current students; $35 for faculty and staff; and $40 for the general public. For more information, and to register, visit the tournament website at bualumnibowling.com.

Purchased 1 yr ago system works well, I have to replace the shock sensor and the range is less than stated but for what I paid its a great system.

Get FAST answers from customers ASK a Question See questions answers
Keyless Entry
Performs lock and unlock tasks without physical contact with the vehicle. Power door locks can be controlled from several feet away or even within a building using a remote fob. The fob emits a radio frequency that is digitally encoded to prevent frequency stealing so no one can enter into your vehicle without your wireless transmitter.
Dual Zone Shock Sensor
This shock sensor utilizes warning chirps for minor disturbances and will trip the alarm if it detects more serious impacts or disruptions. Most dual zone shock sensors have adjustable sensitivity to reduce false alarms or warnings. These sensors let would-be thieves know that your vehicle is equipped with an advanced alarm system and to keep away.
Dedicated Trunk Release
This unit comes with trunk release capability and remote control integration for OEM alarm or add-on trunk release systems. Pop your trunk using your remote transmitter for convenience and ease of use. Carrying a handful of groceries? Arms tied up with luggage? Pop the trunk without using your key so it's open and waiting for you when you arrive.
Security: This means that the car alarm system is just that. No bells and whistles, just a car alarm system.
Remote Start: when installed, this allows the user to start a vehicle from a remote location. Remote start modules and security with remote start alarms often require an additional vehicle specific bypass module to complete installation.
Security with Remote Start: This means that the system incorporates both features listed above.
A dual zone shock sensor is a feature of proximity and shock sensors only. Zone 1 ( light impact on shock sensor and short motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger warn away chirp to warn intruder that car has an alarm without setting off the full alarm. Zone 2 (heavy impact on shock sensor and extended motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger the alarm to "go off".

There's an old-fashioned charm to WANGANUI, the slow pace mirroring the speed of the river that bisects it. Founded on the banks of the Whanganui River, New Zealand's longest navigable watercourse, Wanganui is one of New Zealand's oldest cities and was the hub of early European commerce because of its access to the interior, and coastal links with the ports of Wellington and New Plymouth. The river traffic has long gone and the port is a shadow of what it was, leaving a city that feels too big for its 42,000 people – it even has a small opera house. Still, it's a manageable place that exudes civic pride, both for its quality museums and well-tended streetscape.
The cultural heart of Wanganui beats around Pukenamu, a grassy hill that marks the site of Wanganui's last tribal war in 1832. Now known as Queens Park, it contains three of the city's most significant buildings.
The low cost of living has seen a thriving arts community spring up here, and it's a pleasant place to idle away some time in the renowned art gallery, watch a glass-blowing demonstration or take a class, and to ride on a restored river steamer.
When Europeans arrived in the 1830s, land rights quickly became a bone of contention with the local Maori population. Transactions that Maori perceived as a ritual exchange of gifts were taken by the New Zealand Company to be a successful negotiation for the purchase of Wanganui and a large amount of surrounding land. Settlement went ahead regardless of the misunderstanding, and it was not until the Gilfillan Massacre of 1847 that trouble erupted – when a Maori was accidentally injured, his tribesmen massacred four members of the Gilfillan family. Further violent incidents culminated in a full-scale but inconclusive battle at St John's Hill. The next year the problems were apparently resolved by a payment of £1000 to the Maori. In the 1990s, the central Moutoa Gardens became the focus of renewed tensions, while the spelling of the city's name also creates divisions – For more information, see Wanganui or Whanganui?.

Most eyes are on Syria. It's important. They're watching Egypt. It's important. They're watching Israel and Gaza. It's important. But while most folks are focused on the Middle East, a meeting at the White House on Tuesday has a much more direct and immediate impact on the people of the United States.
President Barack Obama and the President-elect of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, are scheduled to discuss "broad range of bilateral and regional issues," according to a statement released by the White House last week.
Translation: They'll be talking about trade. They'll be talking about immigration. They'll be talking about turning the border into something a little more solid than the sieve it is now. And they'll be talking about drugs.
All are interrelated. And, as pressing and overwhelmingly important as the tensions in the Middle East are, U.S.-Mexico relations and the challenges they face together are a critical national security issue hiding in plain view right now.
Undoubtedly, the Middle East is a tinderbox. And vitally important. The flare-ups there have global implications for a variety of reasons. There's the oil, of course. There's the Holy Land. And there's the ever present danger that fighting there will spread to other nations and fan the flames of war far beyond the region.
But policy changes on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico threaten to upset the delicate and difficult balance that has kept the rampant drug violence in Mexico from exploding in the United States.
Yet, most Americans who don't live directly along the Rio Grande or who can't see the lights of Mexican houses from their own backyards think that the problems confronting our neighbor to the south aren't worth worrying about.
Narcoviolence has killed an estimated 60,000 Mexicans since the country's soon-to-be former president, Felipe Calderon, sent the military to battle the powerful drug cartels in 2006. But for most Americans, that's Mexico's problem.
They ignore the fact that bullets are flying across the border. They ignore the fact that drug smugglers are believed responsible for the murder of Americans on both sides of the dividing line between the two countries. They ignore the fact the bulk of the drugs — marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine — are intended for customers in the United States.They ignore the fact that the narcoviolence is one of the reasons Mexican immigrants sneak across the border with their entire families. To them, a better life means a safer life. One in which they don't risk losing their children to kidnappings, murder, or accidental deaths from stray bullets or bombs.
And they ignore the fact that Peña Nieto was elected, at least in part, because of his promise to end the violence.
That sounds like a good thing. And it is. For Mexico.
But the means Peña Nieto proposes may pose more of a risk for the United States.
The White House knows it. So the statement Press Secretary Jay Carney issued last week, included tons of diplomatic code:
"President Obama will host President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico at the White House on Tuesday, November 27. The President looks forward to meeting President-elect Peña Nieto and hearing about his vision for leading Mexico over the next six years. They plan to discuss a broad range of bilateral, regional and global issues during their Oval Office meeting. The President welcomes the opportunity to underscore the shared values and strong bonds of friendship between the United States and Mexico. The United States remains committed to work in partnership with Mexico to increase economic competitiveness in both countries, promote regional development, advance bilateral efforts to develop a secure and efficient 21st Century Border, and address our common security challenges."
Not a single mention of the drug. Not a single mention of narcoviolence or the cartels. And not a single mention of the concerns that Peña Nieto is turning back the clock to a time and a policy in which Mexico bought relative safety for its citizens by giving the drug lords free reign.
Which is why Tuesday's meeting is so important. Free reign there means more drugs — and, very likely, more violence — here. Obama knows it. The challenge both leaders face is finding a way to stop the traffickers and end the violence, not just one or the other.

Comment Re:I Usually Have A Few "Orphans" Over (Score 1) 340
I'm not an American, but I lived in NYC for a couple of years, and one of my fondest memories from that time is a Thanksgiving dinner cooked by a family we didn't know at all, invited by common friends we had just met. Great food, excellent company and the warm feeling of being included in the celebration.
Keep inviting these "orphans", and happy Thanksgiving to y'all!

Attention all Teams!!
I am giving all the teams until midnight on June 10th to finalize the tallly for their members. I realize that just about every team has lost a member or more during the contest. Try again to contact them and have them report their success, or lack thereof, on the forum. They must make a post under their forum name to count (ie.---a teammate cannot report for them).
Most teams have set up a thread for keeping track of their team's success. Team captains (or someone on each team) should make sure your team has a thread that reports on all team members.
I have gone through the information in various locations under the contest threads and the following is what I have as team tallies as of today (June 2). I will update this tally if things change during the next week. Send those missing team members a PM and get them to report!
Standings as of June 2nd (As far as I can tell....let me know if this is in error. My apologies up front if I have overlooked somebody)
Team #5............6
Team #8............5

As you can plainly see, Guyer head football coach John Walsh stepped up to the plate on Wednesday morning, along with his entire staff, and participated in the latest craze, the ALS ice bucket challenge to help raise money for ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease) awareness.
It's an awful, awful disease for which there is no cure. And while I've had my opinions on the recent viral phenomenon, it's hard to argue with the facts, that it's raised millions and millions of dollars for ALS research. And that's obviously a good thing.
So, if you watch the video, you'll figure out that Walsh and the two-time defending state champions challenged one pretty well-known figure around these parts in Allen head coach Tom Westerburg, or as Walsh accidently called him "Westerburger," the coach he'll be looking across the Apogee Stadium field at on Aug. 29. Then, he challenged some scrub known around these parts by the name of Adam Boedeker. Yep, yours truly.
I couldn't not accept the challenge. Instead of taking the easy way out and having people dump ice water on me in 100-degree heat, I waited until 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday when it was a blustery 91 degrees and dumped the water on myself. So enjoy my video, and my nervous stammering of things like "Guyer Football Wildcats" and "Ice Busket Challenge."
I challenge Lake Dallas head football coach Michael Young, Guyer head baseball coach Johnny Kinzy, my good buddy Nathan Cross and former Denton Record-Chronicle UNT beat writer Tim MacMahon, now of ESPN Dallas.
I hope all of you do what I did and donate some cash (or skrilla, as the kids might say) to a wonderful cause. Remember, this isn't about dousing yourself in ice water. Now, it's time to go warm up. Adios.

Big Rock Productions hosted the 2013 Battle of the Bands final March 9.
Uneeda, The Rogues, The Black Branches, Lovemotor and The Combine were competing for the top prize of $5,000 cash and 40 hours of studio time.
Twenty bands signed up in January, each paying the $100 registration fee in hopes of taking home the big prize, and more than 350 people piled into the Rockhouse to see the final battle.
For The Combine, scrounging up money for the registration fee turned out to be a very lucrative investment.
Forged in Stephenville in late 2009 through the College of the North Atlantic Music Industry Performance (MIP) program, The Combine is a four-piece metal band comprised of musicians from all over the province.
Guitarist Mike Mercer and bassist Matt Ball are the two original members in the three-year-old band.
"In my first year, Matt Ball approached me because he wanted to play in a battle of the bands and the band he was in had lost recently. He wanted to start a new one, and thought I was his saviour," Mercer said. "We entered the battle of the bands, but lost again," he added with a laugh.
Mercer and Ball were in their second year at CNA and The Combine was about a year old when Taylor Roberts (guitar/vocals) and Chris Reid (percussion) arrived in Stephenville.
Mercer and Ball chose to take a third year of music and recording related courses to learn more about the behind-the-scenes side of being a band, as well as to keep the four-piece together.
"The only thing that matters to any of us in our lives is this band," Roberts said. "All of the eggs are in the basket," Mercer added, laughing as Roberts interjected, "It's either this or death!"
This kind of intense, burning passion is evident in The Combine's music. It's almost surprising their fingers aren't bleeding by the end of a set.
After three busy years of playing in Stephenville while attending "rockstar school," The Combine made the inevitable move to
St. John's, aiming to play more shows with different bands, make connections with venue owners and maybe be discovered by a record company executive. Roberts and Mercer are banking on the latter.
When asked about what it was like to have to leave their well-established west coast fan base behind, Roberts summed it up in one word: "Terrifying."
"It was starting over, that's what it was," Roberts said. "It was taking those three years and starting over from scratch. When second year ended for me and Chris and third year (two years MIP, one year Recording Arts) ended for Mike and Matt, we had to decide what we wanted to do. We knew we wanted to continue the band. The only option we really had was to move to St. John's," Roberts explained.
In Stephenville, The Combine organized and promoted their own shows, which guaranteed a large amount of revenue for the band, as well as a dependable turnout of college friends.
"It was so nice to start off in a setting where it was all of your friends and everyone came to your shows because they knew you," Roberts said. "We have a lot of friends out here too, but it's a much larger setting (in St. John's). There's lot of people at our shows that we don't know and we don't really know any of the bar owners either, which made it difficult to start playing here in the beginning."
Drummer Chris Reid works with Stage Eleven and Roberts credits Reid and his connections as the one of the main reasons The Combine started playing shows downtown.
The 2013 Battle of the Bands was only the fifth show The Combine has played on the east coast.
Mike McDonald from Big Rock Productions knows why the band rose to the top of the battle.
"Their complete and utter talent," McDonald said without hesitation. "They deserved to win. When they played their preliminary round, the other judges and I looked at each other and said, if these guys don't make it (into finals), then our system is completely flawed."
"They put in a lot of work and it paid off," he added. "Not a lot of people knew their name. When they played at The Rockhouse, they played second and they had it blocked from front to back. It was a packed house and everyone was going crazy."
Big Rock Productions had four judges presiding over the battle on Saturday night, evaluating each band based on creativity, stage presence, crowd participation, technicality and overall performance. Crowd votes counted for 50 per cent of the scoring process.
In the preliminary rounds, The Combine won by one vote, which allowed them to progress to the final round.
"They can shred and everything they played was in perfect harmony. We were looking for reasons to knock points off," McDonald said with a laugh. "They're stand up guys. They're going to make it. Someone definitely needs to come check them out and put 'em in a stadium. They definitely have what it takes."

Got a beautiful block from Quiltermomma yesterday Thanks so much still have 3 or 4 to come home, maybe today will be my lucky day!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Got a beautiful block from Quiltermomma yesterday Thanks so much still have 3 or 4 to come home, maybe today will be my lucky day!
Long Arm Quilter and Fabriholic.
Life cant get any better than that.
I received a very nice block from Quiltermomma. Thanks so much!
Life is Good!
Visit my blog, closed the website:
Thank you QuilterMomma. It is beautiful. Just need blocks from Pink Lotus, areinn, Linda58 and savannahrandons.
I received beautiful blocks from scrapper, cuppy, wendsy, annaquilts, sustraley and quiltermomma. Thank you ladies, I love them!
Quilter Momma got your block today, thank you. Getting close have yet to receive from areinn, Linda58,and savannahrandons
Blocks sent boom water http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Blocks received http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Batik blocks swap http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
These are my blocks and I received them in the mail yesterday. Linda58
[QUOTTE=QuilterMomma;5778523]Isn't this yours?Attachment 387414Attachment 387415I made the first then found out you wanted both fabrics in the block so you ended up with two and I sent what I had left back to you as well.[/QUOTE]
"A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs." --Mark Twain
So can we officially say Boom 8 is over since its after the 1st?? Im missing two blocks. I know about Linda and totally understand and am in no hurry but has anyone heard from savannah??? I wish we could get an update on her and know if we can expect it or if we just need to write that F8 off?? Suggestions?
People may not remember what you looked like or what you said but they will always remember how you made them feel!
This is the link to my albums for all Boom swaps.
Finnished block send to and waiting on a block from-
I still need to send to and receive finnished blocks from-
I have heard from two of the above and I know there will be a delay due to circumstances.
Anna Quilts
I am of the write it off. Look so many did what they promised to do. Linda again we understand and that is forgivable. Probably the others are too but would have been nice to hear from someone. when I can not post I have had my daughter come on and post for me. life happens. You can spend your time now being grumpy about what didnt come home or you can let it go and enjoy what you did get back. I chose to enjoy. Much more fun. We swapped an amazing amount of blocks and the way everyone interpret that fabric we sent was interesting. I will gladly sign up for another swap, knowing straight up if 98 percent come home to me I am ok with it. Well worth the rewards guys so my vote: let it go. You will be that much happier. I think it wont make or break your quilt one way or another. We are quilters ..we can figure out how to make things work.
BUT if your lurking and havent sent your block maybe send the fabric back to those who need it and just let them know why. I don't need my bees back. tons buzzing still in the old fabric box. shoot. I hated those bees too. cute quilt to come but ugh bugs..
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
one more thought those who did not return blocks perhaps if you sign up next time its ok if we wait to send you our fabric until you have sent yours? this way we know you are serious about playing? and no hard feelings on well I sent and all that stuff... maybe that is a solution that would work for everyone?
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.

Wow, what a weekend we just had here in Montreal! A taste of summer that lasted three days. Hopes of new begginings... blablabla :)
It was a nice weekend, very nice.
that's all for now!
Wow, what a weekend we just had here in Montreal! A taste of summer that lasted three days. Hopes of new begginings... blablabla :)
It was a nice weekend, very nice.
that's all for now!
work work work... I've been working about 9 hours a day, seven days a week, for the last 3 weeks. It's mainly a proof of concept that I have to show a client on Wednesday. If they like, they buy! :)
On my time off, I managed to install Debian Unstable on my machine. Linux being Linux, I need to tweek my box so everything is perfect. Oh, and I also installed Mono. See, I program in C# at work and I love the .NET platform. Mono is something I'd like to contribute to simply because I believe in it.
And for the first time in my life, everything on my computer is legit! ;)
(how do I remove that project from my project list? It's a shame I ever put it there! I never did anything with it at all!!)
See you next time!
After two years, I still haven't found out how to delete the project I created in 2002... I've never really worked on it and don't plan to anymore.
I guess I'm flaky! :)
I would like to contribute to the opensource world after abusing it for so long. First, by installing Debian on my machine. Then, by helping the development efforts on Mono, which I think is great, being a fan of the .NET platform.
But I'm also a thinker (or I try to be, anyway). Outsourcing is bound to become a problem eventually, until we find a way to adapt (like we adapted when the computers came around... people ranted that computers were stealing their jobs). How are you supposed to become a project manager when you need experience for that job and those jobs are being outsourced (somebody here had an article on that recently)? Sure, you need public skills and personnality, but you still need those technical skills.
The answer: the opensource movement. Here is where we can find wisdom, knowledge and experience (no, no public speaking skills, sorry).
Let's start working!
Wow... it's been a while! I remember, two years back, telling nymia to keep up the good work with her diaries entries.
Two years without keeping the community informed of my doings, without even having a project! But you may know how it is to be studying computer science or working for a software company. When I get home, sometimes the last thing I want to do is sit in front of yet another monitor.
So what's been happening with me? I got my undergradutate degree last december and started a master degree in computer graphics.
Do I have a project? Yes, I do!! I love computer graphics and I thought the only way to get all the basics rooted in my head was to create an open sourced modeliser/renderer.. kinda like Maya.
I'll keep you informed about that, but most of my time is spent studying or coding for my master degree project.
Hope I come back soon! :)
I've taken the sourcecode of glTron, another Tron clone that looks really great and hope it will help me a little in my quest for my first game ever! I decided to use exclusively GLUT for the moment, but as soon as my skills in Xlib programming get high enough, I'll try to use that library instead of GLUT.
At work, I managed to fix a bug! But the fix created another one. Grrrrr...
Finaly!!! I got to set up a proper homepage at my project's website. It's very far from being completed but at least I got ssh to work properly. I had to use ssh version1 instead of ssh-2.x. Ah! I'm so happy right now! :)
See ya, all!
How do we know our linux box has crashed? Could it be that your computer's inputs have been disabled? That's funny. Well, it's not. I've been trying for a few times now to install ssh. I thought installing the first version would fix my problem (can't login to shell.sourceforge.net). It might, but I've yet to install it! I think my linux box is afraid of it. I've got the latest Nvidia drivers for XFree 4.0.1 and I know both are a little buggy. I was switching from my user account (running X and Netscape for documentation on how to install ssh) to my two opened root accounts (for configuration of ssh) and suddenly Crassh!
Guess I'll try again tonight but it won't be easy. You see, I live with four female roommates. As you well know, women tend to use such little devices, like phones, very often and for an extended period of time. And since I'm using a modem... 'Nough said. :)
Work: It's really bugging me (litteraly). I'm just a coop student and I started to work at exactly the same time as Corel Draw 10 was getting into the debbuging part of it's release cycle. Shee! And there are sooo many I feel like I'm a marine from starcraft in front big swarming sea of zerglings!
You wouldn't believe how many issues we have!
My project: I've begun to do some research. I've found three different versions of the Tron game so that's a good place to start looking. I hope to have my basic game architecture planing done by the end of the week.
I've been thinking of doing a big "scrach book" on how my project is going. If this is going anywhere, it could help other people do whatever I'm trying to do right now from a newbie perspective.
See ya!
It's just amazing.
Some people seems to have it all in life: curiosity, motivation, social life. They want to learn and they are learning! I'm so jaleous of that kind of person! I would like to be like that. This is one of my goal in life and some people like Nymia are an inspiration to me.
Nymia, your diary's entries are amazing! Keep up the good work! You seem to be so happy and full of energy!
There really should be some kind of message service here... I'd like to communicate with some people here and the easiest way to do so is through our diary's entries.
Here are the things I need:
- A good book on Xlib programming (tutorials are hard to find. And I must admit I like the feel of a big hardcover book sitting on your lap!)
I so much want to create my project but I still lack the knowledge and time. So I guess it'll be slow going. But that's all right, as long as I don't lose my motivation.
I feel good today. I've been working on a bug in the text engine of the upcoming CorelDraw 10 and I'm actually getting somewhere. This is very good for my ego! I still have a few problems, but it should be over in a few minutes.
Don't you all hate it when you get into a kind of depressing phase in life? It happened to me during the last two days. It's the kind of time where you just don't want to do anything, or better still, be with your friends, drink a beer with them and watch tv all evening. No talking. Just their presence and something to focuse upon (i.e., the tv) :)
I'm glad it's over!
You know, I figured last year that a man must go back to it's roots in order to feel better. I like to be in the company of other human beings, I like being outdoors, I play guitar, and I relax. Hmmmmm... Ok, back to my regular stuff!
I downloaded the ssh protocol from ssh.com two days ago and didn't manage to configure it. The Readme file wasn't helpfull at all and when I tried to run it I got an error message that said I was running a pirated version of the protocol. (I was trying to connect to shell.sourceforge.net)
Anyone owns a project on sourceforge and would like to help me out on this? After all, I'm still a newbie in the linux / open source world.
I feel like a little frog that wants to swallow a bull... :)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
