Preparing for the Worst
By Tania Ortega
With natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy and Japan's Tsunami, it can be easy to worry about what you would do in an emergency situation. But some Central Texans are thru wondering.
Outside the Gest's family home, the deer run freely. But what's inside their home is what will keep them enjoying the outside. The Gest's are what you would call "Preppers".
They collecting necessities like food, water and medicines. All for the day an emergency like a tornado happens. Which they say will cause chaos. " 'Here's cases of water, here's food , you need medical help? We have all these doctors standing in line'. It's not going to happen in a bad disaster. We saw that with Katrina, we saw that again with Hurricane Sandy," says Jim Gest.
They're part of a group of close to 100 "Waco Preppers". Planning for disasters like economic collapse and nuclear fallout. Adam Pfizer is a member, and does it for his family. "To me its not doomsday, end of the world stuff. To me its just being able to take care of your family in whatever situation is going to come,"says Adam Fitzer.
And the prepping trend is spreading. From utility knifes to MRE's, Red Rock Outdoor Gear sells it. And they've seen their business triple.
There's thousands of hunting and prepping items at their store, but one of the things people are looking for are gas masks. "They're outfitting their families and their homes with gas masks just inside a biological attack occurs,"says Guy Meredith, Sales Manager at Red Rock Outdoor Gear.
A simple prepping tip is having a "Go Bag" with a first aid kit, water, food and a fire starter.
The Gests have that checked off their list. But with the help of their Hybrid car, they shouldn't have to leave their home. "Some things will power the freezer, the refrigerator, allow me to have a light on, recharge the batteries on my cell phone. And with the hybrid, you're running off the battery pack that's in the car and then the engine will run just enough to charge the batteries again," says Gest.
The Gest family also has some secret emergency units buried across Central Texas.That way if they need to leave their home, they can get what they need from their secret stash.

Martin St. Louis and Steve Downie recorded a goal and an assist apiece as the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning skated to a 4-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday.
Dwayne Roloson made 33 saves for his first victory since Nov. 17 as the Lightning have won three in a row after losing seven straight games.
Defenseman Keith Yandle scored 3:35 into the third period for Phoenix and the Coyotes pulled within 4-3 on Ray Whitney's power-play goal with 3:59 remaining.
Tampa Bay was outshot 15-7 in the first period, but was able to build a 2-0 lead.
All-Star Steven Stamkos finished St. Louis' pass at 12:02 on the Lightning's third shot and Teddy Purcell flipped in a rebound at 15:39. It was Purcell's fifth goal in six games.
St. Louis scored his first goal in 14 games at 6:15 of the second period for a 3-1 lead. Pierre-Cedric Labrie had an assist on the goal for his first NHL point.
After Lauri Korpikoski scored the eighth shorthanded goal against the Lightning, Downie beat former Lightning goalie Mike Smith from the right circle at 16:39 for a 4-1 lead.
Lightning forward Ryan Malone left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Opportunity is a rover that has been working on Mars since January 2005. Originally intended to last 90 days, the machine is still trekking after 11 years on the Red Planet.
Latterly, however, it has been showing its age. Problems with Opportunity's Flash memory forced NASA to do a remote wipe and take other measures in 2014 to keep science going.
That said, the mission has been extremely productive on the Red Planet. As Opportunity approaches a marathon's worth of driving, it has explored two large craters: Victoria and Endeavour. Along the way, the rover has found multiple signs of water — while surviving a sand trap and bad dust storm.
Making an orphan's dream come true
Opportunity and its twin rover, Spirit, received their names from 9-year-old Sofi Collis. She was the winner of a naming contest NASA held (with assistance from the Planetary Society and sponsorship from Lego) to find monikers for the Mars Exploration Rovers. Siberian-born Collis was adopted at age 2 and came to live with her new family in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"I used to live in an orphanage," Collis wrote in her winning essay. "It was dark and cold and lonely. At night, I looked up at the sparkly sky and felt better. I dreamed I could fly there. In America, I can make all my dreams come true. Thank you for the 'Spirit' and the 'Opportunity.'"
The Mars Exploration Rovers launched in 2003 on a 283-million-mile (455.4 million kilometers) journey to hunt for water on Mars. The $800-million cost for the two of them covered a suite of science instruments. Site survey tools included a panoramic camera, as well as a mini-thermal emission spectrometer that was supposed to search for signs of heat. Each rover also had a small arm with tools such as spectrometers and a microscopic imager.
Cruise to Mars
Opportunity left Earth July 7, 2003, aboard a Delta II rocket en route to a landing site at the Martian equator called Meridiani Planum. NASA was intrigued by a layer of hematite that the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor spotted from above. As hematite (an iron oxide) often forms in a spot that had liquid water, NASA was curious about how the water got there in the first place and where the water went.
The 384-pound rover made its final approach to Mars on Jan. 25, 2004. It plowed through the Martian atmosphere, popped out a parachute and then vaulted to the surface in a cocoon of airbags.
Opportunity rolled to a stop inside a shallow crater just 66 feet (20 meters) across, delighting scientists as the first pictures beamed back from the Red Planet. "We have scored a 300-million mile interplanetary hole-in-one," quipped Cornell University's Steve Squyres, principal investigator for the rover's science instruments, in a press release in the days after the landing.
Early sols of science
Opportunity and Spirit (which had landed successfully three weeks earlier, on Jan. 3, 2004) had a primary goal to "follow the water" during their time on Mars. They would hunt for any environments that showed evidence of water activity, particularly looking for minerals that may have been left behind after water came through.
Both rovers met that goal quickly. In early March, just six weeks after landing, Opportunity identified a rock outcrop that showed evidence of a liquid past. The rocks at "Guadalupe" had sulfates as well as crystals inside of niches, which are both signs of water. Spirit found water evidence of its own that same week.
Two weeks later, Opportunity found hematite inside some small spheres that NASA dubbed "blueberries" because of their size and shape. Using a spectrometer, Opportunity found evidence of iron inside a group of berries when comparing it to the bare, underlying rock.
The month wasn't yet over when Opportunity discovered more evidence of water, this time from images of a rock outcrop that probably formed from a deposit of saltwater in the ancient past. Chlorine and bromine found in the rocks helped solidify the theory.
It was a positive start to Opportunity's mission — and it hadn't even left the crater where it had landed yet. Before Opportunity's 90-day prime mission was over, the golf-cart size rover clambered out of Eagle Crater and ventured to its next science target about half a mile away: Endurance Crater. It spotted more water signs there in October.
Stuck in the sand
One of Opportunity's most dangerous moments came in 2005, when the rover was mired in the sand for five weeks. NASA had put the rover into a "blind drive" on April 26, 2005, meaning the rover was not checking for obstacles as it went. Opportunity then plowed into a 12-inch-high (30 cm) sand dune, where the six-wheeled rover initially had trouble getting out.
To save the stranded rover, NASA ran tests on a model of the rover in a simulated Martian "sandbox" at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Based on what they learned in the sandbox, the rover drivers then sent a series of commands to Opportunity. It took the rover about 629 feet (191 meters) of wheel rotations before it was able to move forward three feet, but it cut itself free in early June 2005.
NASA chose to move the rover forward in more careful increments, which was especially important because Opportunity lost the full use of its right-front wheel (because of a seized steering motor) just days before it got stuck in the sand. The rover could still move around just fine with its other three steerable wheels, NASA said.
Opportunity's experience in the sand came in handy in October 2005, when NASA detected unusual traction problems on Sol 603. Just 16 feet into a planned 148-foot drive, a slip check system on board automatically stopped the rover when it went past a programmed limit. Two Martian days later, Opportunity backed itself out of the problem and kept on going.
A marathon on Mars
In late September 2006, Opportunity wheeled up to Victoria Crater after 21 months on the road. It circled the rim for a few months snapping pictures and getting a close look at some layered rocks surrounding the crater. NASA then made a gutsy decision in June 2007 to take Opportunity inside the crater. It was a risk to the rover as it might not have been able to climb up again, but NASA said the science was worth it.
"The scientific allure is the chance to examine and investigate the compositions and textures of exposed materials in the crater's depths for clues about ancient, wet environments," NASA stated in a press release. "As the rover travels farther down the slope, it will be able to examine increasingly older rocks in the exposed walls of the crater."
The trek down was interrupted by a severe dust storm in July 2007. Opportunity's power-generating capabilities dropped by 80 percent in only one week as its solar panels became covered in dust. Late in the month, Opportunity's power dipped to critical levels. NASA worried the rover would stop working, but Opportunity pulled through.
It wasn't until late August that the skies cleared enough for Opportunity to resume work and head into the crater. Opportunity spent about a year wandering through Victoria Crater, getting an up-close look at the layers on the bottom and figuring that these were likely shaped by water.
Opportunity climbed out successfully in August 2008 and began a gradual journey to Endeavour, an incredible 13 miles (21 km) away. It took about three years to get there, as the rover was stopping to look at interesting science targets on the way. But Opportunity successfully arrived in August 2011.
Exploring Endeavour, and memory resets
Opportunity's water history examinations continued at Endeavour, with one example being a 2013 probe of a rock called "Esperance." The rock not only has clay minerals produced by water, but there was enough of the liquid to "flush out ions set loose by those reactions," stated Opportunity long-term planned Scott McLennan of the State University of New York, at the time.
By mid-year 2014, however, Opportunity was experiencing problems with its aging memory. The rover used Flash memory to store information when it went into hibernation during the Martian nights, which take place about as frequently as they do on Earth.
Controllers did a remote memory wipe from Earth, but memory issues and resets continued to plague the rover through the end of the year. Eventually, officials elected to stop using Flash memory, move storage over to random access memory (RAM) instead, and find a way to address the problem more thoroughly. These efforts were ongoing as of January 2015.
Despite these issues, Opportunity continues rolling on the Red Planet. It set an off-world driving record in July 2014 when it successfully passed 25.01 miles (40.2 kilometers), exceeding the distance from the Soviet Union's remote-controlled lunar Lunokhod 2 rover in 1973.
The rover successfully imaged Comet Siding Spring when the celestial body sped fairly close to Mars in October 2014. In January 2015, Opportunity took pictures from a "high point" on the rim of Endeavour, about 440 feet (134 feet) above the surrounding crater floor. At that time, the rover was close to a location nicknamed "Marathon Valley", a site that is likely host to water-soaked minerals. It is so named because by the time Opportunity gets there, it will have passed a marathon's worth of driving on Mars.

Travel Guide Asia Myanmar Yangon Division Yangon
© All Rights Reserved ejgalang
Myanmar's capital until 2005, Yangon is still one of the country's main hubs and likely to be your point of entry if you are planning a trip to Myanmar. Some of the most authentic British colonial architecture in the region is found in the city, and the combination with newer high-rise gives the city a unique feel.
Yangon has a hot and humid tropical climate. Temperatures are well above 30 °C during the day and mostly around 20 °C at night. Temperatures from mid March to May can reach 40 °C making this time rather unpleasant for visiting the city. This time is often called the hot dry season. From June to October is rainy season. There is massive amounts of rainfall this time of year. The best time to visit is during the cool dry season which is December to February. During this period there is still warm and pleasant weather with pleasant nights around 18 °C. It usually is dry and rather sunny during these months.
Yangon International Airport (RGN) is where most travellers start their trip in Myanmar. It has good connections in the region but does not have direct flights from North America or Australia, but a few direct flights from Milan in Europe.
Myanmar Airways International, the international airline of Myanmar, flies to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. While they do not operate any aircraft, they are on code share with Jetstar Asia, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways and Thai Airways. The Bangkok-Yangon route, the most commonly used one, is serviced by Thai Airways and AirAsia.
Other international airlines flying into this airport include Air India, Air Bagan, Air China, Air Mandalay, Bangkok Airways, China Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airways, Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines.
Domestically, Air Bagan, Air Mandalay and Yangon Airways all offer flights between Yangon and Mandalay, Bagain and Heho (for lake Inle) as well as flying to more remote places like Sittwe at the west coast, Kawthoung in the south (for onward travel to and from Thailand) and Kengtung (also for onward travel to and from Thailand).
The most often used train ride is the one between Yangon and Mandalay with many overnight trains and one train during the day as well. The journey takes between 12 and 15 hours.
There are several budget options near the city centre. Although during high times they can book up fast. Almost all places include free breakfast.
Internet is now widely and cheaply available in Yangon, Mandalay, and Bagan, but more limited elsewhere. However access can be slow although now unrestricted. Rates are around 300 kyat/hour in Yangon and 1,000-3,000 kyat/hour elsewhere. Some hotels, although rare, allow free access to the internet.
The government records screenshots every five minutes from PCs in Internet cafés to monitor Internet usage. If you don't want your privacy violated in this way, save your surfing for Thailand or wherever you head next.
See also International Telephone Calls
Myanmar's country code is 95.
International phone calls can be arranged at the Central Telephone & Telegraph Office at the corner of Ponsodan and Mahabandoola Streets in Yangon. International Direct Dial calls are also possible from most hotels and at many public call offices (often a phone in a shop), but they are expensive, e.g., a call to the US costs USD6–7 per min.
The MPTGSM mobile phone network is provided by the Myanmar Government's Post and Telecommunication agency. This works on the GSM900 band, so is visible to multi-band GSM phones. Roaming is available onto MPT's GSM 900 network, subject to agreements between operators; check with your operator before you leave to be sure. Unfortunately, MPT only has international roaming agreements with operators from a limited number countries and territories. Nevertheless, if your own mobile telephone can detect the MPT GSM network, then you may be able to buy a USD20 SIM card which will work for 28 days.
As of October 2014, Telenor and Ooredoo, two international companies, have entered the market. Sim cards are cheap and widely available (1500 kyats for a Telenor sim). Nevertheless, connectivity can still be limited to urban centres, Yangon and Mandalay in particular. Telenor seems to have a better connection and plans to improve nets massively in the next years. Although MPT has the widest coverage, it is also the most expensive.
International mail out of Myanmar is reportedly quite efficient, despite what some hotels might tell you.

UPDATE: The original post that was here has been deleted.
I need to offer everyone an apology. I've been off of the computer and away from the internet for a few days while speaking and recuperating and traveling, and I really haven't been paying attention to what's going on. I had some guest posts go up on auto pilot, and I didn't give them the due diligence that I should have.
I've just read over some of the comments, and I have to say that I agree. If you were to write a post like this and reverse the genders, it would sound terrible. And if it sounds terrible saying it about women, then it sounds terrible saying it about men, too.
And so I took down the content of this original post, and this weekend I'll try to rewrite it the way I would have written it had I written on the same topic.
I do want the blog to maintain my voice, and sometimes that's hard when I use guest posts. But I should have been more diligent, and I am sorry. I'll try to monitor everything and ask, "would I have been comfortable saying exactly this?" before I put up anything anymore.
Now, do you have any advice for us today? Link up the URL of a marriage post to today's Wifey Wednesday, and get some traffic back to your blog!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Today is the eighth day of Christmas, and that means today is the day on which we commemorate the circumcision of Jesus. Here are three films that depict this moment from Jesus' infancy, which is mentioned briefly in Luke 2:21.
"The Word became flesh," according to John 1:14, but that flesh has been hidden, for the most part, in movie portrayals of Jesus. At certain key points in his life, history and even tradition would dictate that Jesus ought to be depicted nude — and there are good theological reasons for doing so. But most films have tended to shy away from nudity in their own portrayals of those parts of the Jesus story.
There are some obvious reasons for this reticence, of course, starting with the fact that film, for much of its history, has been forced to skirt around images of nudity in general, and images of male nudity in particular. Plus, when a film does show someone's nudity, it does not merely show us the character's nudity; it shows us the actor's nudity as well, and the knowledge that we are seeing an actor's naked body can sometimes distract us from the character he is playing. This is especially true when the character is meant to be an embodiment of divinity like Jesus.
There have been at least three significant exceptions, though — three films that each depict the nudity of Jesus at a different key point in his story.
In orthodox Christian belief, Jesus is both God and man, fully divine and fully human. And it is because God has revealed himself in the form of a particular person who lived in a particular time and a particular place that Christians down through the ages have generally felt free to portray Jesus in icons, passion plays, and other forms of religious art. But except for the most basic and theologically essential points, such works of art have generally passed over the particularities of Jesus's life. His humanity, expressed in the mere fact that he can be depicted at all, is often balanced with his divinity by a degree of artistic abstraction: Whether depicting Christ in static paintings or following the stations of the cross according to a set pattern, artists have tended to downplay realistic or naturalistic details to focus on the more eternal truths.

Hopefully cross-posting isn't frowned upon here, but wasn't sure which forum to put this in:
Recently bought a new S60 at a dealer and the window sticker said "OSD" as opposed to all the info usually placed on the sticker per US law. The salesman told me that the manager adds to the inventory by ordering some vehicles via the Overseas Delivery Program, and that's part of how they get some interesting and otherwise unavailable color combos (mine was black/beechwood and there was also one in bright red and one in electric blue).
I was promised that the vehicle, which only had 22 miles on it, wasn't toured around Europe and was never titled previously but the more I think about it the more this seems odd/off to me. Wouldn't the US gov't still require the standard info on the sticker? Does anyone have any additional information about this, or if this is a common dealer practice? I read on an old thread here that when OSD vehicles arrive here they receive that sticker since they are technically used vehicles. Does that mean that mine was technically such as well and if so, what are the implications?
Thanks for any insights on this!

I would say you have it misconfigured somehow. I don't find this problem
in Windows, Linux or MacOS.
On the MacOS, I tried it on both a 400MHz B&W G3 and a 266MHz Gray G3. I
get 0. Second for simple additions, on both platforms. This is using
MacOS 8.6, with the Standard Install.
Try running with just the 8.6 extensions on.

Hinsdale Wedding In September
"We had a difficult time finding a traditional church that let us use our own pastor. Everyone was so accepting, helpful and willing to work with us to ensure there was no glitch in our day. It has such an intimate feel that can be so hard to find. It looks like it may be small, but it held about 220 guests. There is also a great Bride's room and Grooms room that are remodeled and new. They have a kitchen right off of their newly renovated foyer in case you want to serve refreshments. The photo does not show the beautiful stained glass which also adds to the beauty of the sanctuary."

Central Trinidad is proving to be a deadly hideout for criminals as three more men, not from the area, were felled in a gun blazing confrontation with police in Freeport on Tuesday night. This is the second such incident in the area, in as many weeks, with this latest episode bringing to five the number of men killed by police officers in pursuit of bandits in Central.
And with it comes another warning from the man who told criminals on the last occasion to stay out of Central, Snr Supt Johnny Abraham, that residents of the area should be very wary of people to whom they are renting their property.

How to do the firmware upgrade?
On Wednesday we milk our cows.
Does the SMTP work with GMail? I guess it could because the module also supports SSL?
And I also would like just the board… $30 sound good - but I don't need 5. Maybe Gainspan could give you a price break so you can sell at $30…
No public wish lists :(

Despite what the weatherman is telling me about Sunday's forecast, I definitely heard little birdies chirping this morning so I am now giving myself full license to think about spring clothing.
Two local designers recently released their new collections and I am particularly enamored:
Beki Wilson, owner and designer behind the wearable Out of Line, has long been known her exquisite sewing skills and love of jersey cotton, but this print skirt is a new evolution for her—and it is to die for.
When I recently interviewed Lizzie Parker, who will appear on NBC's Fashion Star starting March 13, she mentioned that the show had inspired her to be more innovative with her much-loved knitwear designs. Apparently, she wasn't kidding: Parker's new frocks, leggings and tops are coated with a hand-treated wax coating that gives comfy, cozy knits the same sheen as leather. I am especially fond of the very rocker black version.
And while we are talking clothes, sweet online site Olivine is running a killer sale on scarves, accessories and even a select few pieces of Prairie Underground; click through now for deals up to 50% off.

I'm back!
Of course, you're going to have to be patient and wait for me to share all about my fantastic (and cold and snowy!) weekened in Chicago. I promise to share a few details and pictures soon.
For now, I'm back in the south. It's surprisingly not much warmer, but we don't have any snow. I am so ready for spring it's not even funny. I want to wear t-shirts. I want to wear sandals. I want to run outside in shorts.
The good news is that it's sunny in these parts today, including my own personal disposition. I'm feeling pretty happy these days.
I took time off from much exercise while I was out of town, but I did walk around the city a lot and managed to make my left leg really sore. The good thing is that I don't feel any sort of pain or discomfort where my injury was... the soreness is totally just the rest of my leg trying to get used to all the activity and regain its strength. I'll take it, but at the same time I'm ready for it to go on and catch up.
I'm playing a little catch up myself... I have exciting plans tonight involving unpacking and laundry and tidying up the house. I'm hoping to work in a Shred workout with Jillian Michael's as well. I need to start using it more often. My tummy is ready to get some of its firmness back!
I'll be back for real when I catch up other things in my life. Stayed tuned... I got some great photos on my trip to share!

Vinegar-Glossed Chicken
This dish has been a staple of Lucinda Scala Quinn's family for 20 years; from her cookbook "Mad Hungry."
- Servings: 8
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2009
- 1 cup best-quality red-wine vinegar
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (about 1 tablespoon minced)
- 5 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (each part should be cut in half)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
At least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking, combine the vinegar, garlic, and rosemary to marinate.
Thoroughly season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a 14-inch skillet (or two smaller skillets) over high heat and swirl in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Don't crowd the chicken; leave space around each piece. Work in batches if necessary. You should hear an immediate sizzle when the chicken pieces hit the pan. Don't move them; it takes a couple of minutes to sear the chicken so it doesn't stick. Brown all sides; this will take 10 minutes per batch. Regulate the heat so it stays high but does not burn the chicken. Place all the browned chicken back in the skillet.
Add the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat, simmer, and reduce for 15 to 20 minutes. Increase the heat to high and pour in the vinegar mixture. Swirl the pan and stir around as the vinegar evaporates to form a simmering glaze, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate, and reheat with some extra broth.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
There was a news story this morning about a top ranking Federal official who called his staff into a meeting to discuss news leaks. According to the news report, whose accuracy I do not know, but have no reason to disbelieve at the moment, before entering the meeting all staff members were required to turn over their cell phones, both government issued and private, so they could be examined to try to determine the source of the leaks.
I work for state government, and I have always assumed that my private cell phone was still my private device, and per the 4th Amendment, they'd need a search warrant in order to search it, particularly in a "sweep" where there was no evidence that I committed a crime or that my cell phone posed an immediate threat to anyone but they were just searching a whole group of employees' cell phones in a fishing expedition to see whether anyone was doing anything wrong (Is that an incorrect assumption???)
For a VERY long time I did not even bring my cell phone to work with me, and for even longer, I kept it turned off the entire time I was at work if I did -- because my view is that I shouldn't be taking personal calls or texts or whatever while I am on my employer's time. I also DID worry about conducting State business on my personal cell phone because I was worried that if I did so, I would be out of compliance with our State's Open Records and Records Retention laws. So even while MANY of my co-workers gave out their cell phone numbers and accepted business calls on them during evenings & weekends, I did not.
More recently, mostly due to pressure to be available nearly 24/7 to answer questions, do last minute research or provide documents during off-hours, etc., and due to being required to give my cell phone number to my employer so they could reach me "in an emergency", and due to the expectation that I would respond to work e-mails and/or texts during weekends, evenings (as late as 11 p.m.), and early mornings (as early as 5 a.m.) I have started receiving my work e-mail & texts on my personal cell phone during off-hours just so that I didn't need to remain glued to a computer 24/7 and (since I now travel a lot for my job) so that I could continue to receive my work e-mail even while traveling.
I don't like all this stuff going on on the same personal cell phone that I use to communicate with my spouse, family members, college friends, neighbors, elected officials, play games on, etc. I have asked for an employer-provided cell phone just for business purposes and they have denied the request (multiple times).
I am starting to think that I need to obtain a whole separate cell phone and separate cell phone service and a separate cell phone account just for work-related business... which doesn't seem fair since they don't deem me in need of a work-provided cell phone.
I guess my question is just: how much of my personal cell phone (and any communications on it) and cell phone records does my government employer have a right to demand access to just because they're curious and I work there?
The story in today's news (if true) kind of is my worst nightmare.
My gut reaction. If you bring it to work and it is on the employers property, it is fair game. If it is at home it is not. In your car parked on employer property is the gray area. I would fell much stronger if they had an announced policy that all cell phones were subject to search if brought on property. If you can be fired for social media postings done at home on your own time on your own device, then this is the next step.
Certain Federal agencies, such as the Dept. of Defense (DOD) and the Dept. of Homeland Security DHS), with its many law enforcement subagencies, may have written policies about cell phones in place already. The Dept. of Justice, with its many law enforcement subagencies, probably has such policies as well.
Federal agencies,the like Dept. of Heath and Human Services (HHS) and Labor (DOL) would be less likely to have such policies.
If the Federal agency in question was one of the "intelligence" ones, you probably can bet the mortgage money that cell phones, even private ones, can be searched.
Of course, in many agencies where there is access to "classified" info, employees cannot bring cell phones onto agency property, unless it is a Government issued one. The problem is, of course, cell phones are pretty small and easily concealed.
If you worked for a private employer the answer would be easy: the employer may ask you turn over the phone for examination (especially if it is a phone used to conduct the employer's business), the employee may say no and refuse to turn the phone over, and the employer of course could fire you for refusing.
You work for the government, so it gets a little more complicated than that. The government would generally need a warrant or subpoena to forcibly get a cell phone and examine it for evidence of a crime. You are a government employee though, and in its role as employer it has many of the same rights of any other employer. It has a right to protect its legitimate governmental interests so long as that does not impermissively intrude on your constutitional rights. Your state's civil service laws and regulations also come into play here. But, absent some strong protection against termination in this kind of circumstance, your employer is probably in much the same position as the private employer: it cannot take your personal phone without your consent, but it probably could fire you for refusing to comply, at least if there was some legitimate need for the agency to make the request.
You may want to consult a lawyer in your state who is familiar with your state's civil service rules for advice on what your agency may and may not do, since state law and agency regulations are a significant part of that determination.
Thanks, all.
For the cost of a consultation with an attorney who specializes in this area of law I could probably get another cell phone & cell phone account for the better part of a year.
I am probably going to do that, just because I don't want my government employer digging through all my private communications with my friends and family, or looking at what games I play on my cell phone when I'm waiting in line for concert tickets, or my private communications with former Union members, etc., etc.
Besides that, I am still worried about our Open Records law. By law everything is a record and practically every communication can be the subject of an open records request. I don't even know how to preserve all those "records" on my cell phone.
So I'd rather get a whole different phone and then if they ever need anything off it just hand it over and let our I.T. people figure it out.
Thanks again.
I would suspect that a second phone solves 98% of your exposure ...But be mechanically perfect how you use it

Many Still Unsettled A Year After Tropical Storm Irene's Destruction
08/20/12 7:44AM By Nancy Eve Cohen
| Download MP3
Nearly one year ago Tropical Storm Irene clawed apart more than 500 miles of state roads and dozens of bridges, isolating thirteen communities. The flood washed about 1700 Vermonters out of their homes.
Today most of the roads and bridges are back and people are safe and secure. But many are still unsettled and the wounds are still raw.
August 28th began like any other Sunday morning for Lisa and Gary Alexander. The couple had breakfast together; eggs and toast followed by a trip into town for ice coffee. The couple, in their 50s, had lived here next to Gilead Brook for 32 years. Gary's grandfather lived here before them. It had always been an idyllic spot where the family gathered for picnics and the children played in the brook. But by midday the water was transformed.
"It was dark, it was black and it was really fast," recalled Lisa Alexander. "And I came back to him and said, 'We need to go'."
Even their cat Mickey, who usually hides, appeared ready to escape. The couple gathered up their pets and a few belongings: camera, lap top, photographs, and only the drawers from a filing cabinet because they thought they'd be back. But in just a few hours their home was under attack.
"All these big clumps of trees coming down through jammed up here," said Gary Alexander pointing upstream, "and forced the current right towards our house."
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon the family returned. Lisa headed towards the house with her daughter.
"Stacy and I stopped right about here," said Alexander walking towards the spot where her house once stood.
She and her daughter watched the water eating away at the foundation.
"I remember for a split-second thinking to myself. 'This isn't good,' " said Lisa Alexander. "And right after I thought that, the porch, you heard it just creak and it tipped into the brook and the whole house just followed! I swear in less than twenty seconds it was down around the corner and gone!"
Today, nearly a year later the lawn is green and lush. There are raspberry bushes waiting to be picked. But the couple doesn't live here anymore.
"We got two bedrooms. We have the spare bedroom in here," said Lisa Alexander giving a tour of the furnished apartment where she and Gary now live. "And then... a mud room. If we ever do rebuild I'm going to have one."
But it's not clear when they'll have a new house. This spring the town of Bethel applied to FEMA for money to buy the Alexander's property. But at first the state rejected the project. The couple appealed. The state approved it the second time.
Now, Gary and Lisa Alexander are still waiting for FEMA's decision
"I'm ready to put this behind us actually and move forward," said Gary Alexander. "And forget about it."
The buy-out would give the couple 75 percent of the pre-Irene value of their home. It would also pay to demolish their old garage. No one could build there again. But the couple doesn't know if or when the money will come through.
"It's frustrating because there hasn't been real good communication with what's going on with the buy-out," said Lisa Alexander. "We're just waiting, waiting, waiting. I keep saying we're getting good at it, but it gets tiring because we have no closure. We can't move on and do anything"
The Alexanders are one of about one hundred property owners who the state has approved for the FEMA buy out. And there are others in need across the state --- people whose homes were not destroyed, but damaged by Tropical Storm Irene.
"I have yet to have a day that goes by where I don't have somebody that either pulls me aside on the street or calls me or emails our organization asking us for avenues of financial assistance," said Asah Rowles, Chair of the Mad River Long Term Recovery Group.
Rowles said many Vermonters are just now asking for help.
"In the beginning everybody thought there was somebody else out there worse off than them," said Rowles. "And they didn't want to take away from anyone else. o they thought they could do it themselves. And at this point it's much deeper than they thought it was going to be financially and emotionally."
Although many got through the winter, this summer there are new outbreaks of mold. And furnaces that were flooded aren't functioning well.
People who have worked in other natural disasters say recovery is slow.
"We want it fixed yesterday and we want it to be back to normal now," said Christy Smith of the United Methodist Committee on Relief.
Smith has worked in tornados, floods and hurricanes around the country, including Katrina. She came to Vermont this winter and trained disaster relief case managers, who she said, are key.
"We don't heal well in isolation," said Smith. "Everybody who is recovering needs a resource, a friend, someone to share that journey."
Smith said even though Irene's anniversary is approaching the disaster isn't over yet.
"Communities need to remember that there may still be hurting people in your community," said Smith. "There may still be people who are not wholly recovered yet. And it is our responsibility as neighbors to find them and to figure out a way to move forward, if they don't have enough resources to do it on their own."Back in Bethel Lisa and Gary Alexander have high praise for people who have helped them, including those in town government.
Walking downstream of their property they pass a sad inventory of their former life: a roll of saran wrap, a scoop from the kitchen, the pressure tank from the well. Strangers who find things prop them up on rocks or hang them from trees.
"There's some boards from the house, the yellow boards, there," said Lisa pointing towards the stream bank. "And somebody hung what looks to be a dress."
And there's part of the roof, twisted on top of a pile of rocks and trees.
"We needed a new roof," quipped Gary Alexander. "But this isn't the way to get it."
Gary and Lisa say a sense of humor helps them cope with their loss.
Gary still mows the lawn where the house used to be and points out a lilac bush he rescued along with a rhubarb plant and some peonies.
"His grandmother had planted these peonies," said Lisa pointing to some plants. "We found them over the bank and so his brother and him put them in buckets and stuck them in the ground. And they're doing OK!"When the Alexander's grandson was born three and a half years ago they imagined him playing in this brook, where their children grew up. If the town buys the land with FEMA money the couple hopes it'll be turned into a park where their grandson can play in the water.

This is a discussion on Sober at a Party Where Alcohol is Served within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by AZ Husker Isn't it amazing how stupid your friends get when they're toasted and you're sober? It truly is AZ Husker!...
In Ga, you'd be covered, provided you're not partaking.
In New Mexico you can't carry a firearm (loaded or unloaded) into a business that dispenses alcohol for consumption on-premises. That would certainly include restaurants, hotel bars, convention centers, etc. There are a few special cases, but that's the simple summary.
On private property there's no such restriction. So it would seem to be legal to carry at a private residence where a party with alcohol was being served.
But I wonder what would happen if the hosts of a party (say in a home or office building) hired a catering company with an alcohol license to dispense alcohol. Would that "private property" be considered the caterer's "place of business" for the night, where they are "dispensing alcohol for consumption on-premises", thereby making it illegal for you to carry at the party...?
It sounds like it would be between you and the property owner/host.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!
-Tony Soprano
In Oregon, where you carry is fine, alcohol or not, restaurant, party, special event or whatever. So long as you're not "under the influence" and affected badly, the Oregon statutes don't criminalize you and string you up for merely being there.
But here's the thing: parties and "drinking" gatherings are where many people get revved up, excited, engaged, whether it's simply mixing it up with people or looking for trouble. Among other things, it's a public setting, hence feeling "dissed" can be taken as a public embarrassment by evil sorts of people. Very easily, folks who aren't handling their liquor well can blow sideways due to lowered inhibitions and reduced judgment.
Given that, I very rarely attend gatherings of this sort. Dinner with friends is one thing. A small "dinner party" or other sedate thing at someone's home or small venue is fine. But, at a bar or other place where drinking and carousing are the main goals, it's just not my thing.
Data Point
Back when, at one of the last parties of this sort that I attended with friends, friends of friends, and remote acquaintances from school, there was someone I knew vaguely who decided to "blow sideways" that night.
He apparently incorrectly interpreted things that folks were saying, near him, and (of course) he took offense and saw it as a public "diss" of him, his family and his honor.
Well, the SOB was a bad, evil drunk. Who knew? Apparently, his close friends did, though I did not. What's more, he was extremely fit and strong. Basically, I was in the wrong place at the wrong moment. He got in my face, for no other reason than I was in his line of sight at the moment he decided to get angry at things. I had not been speaking with him, nor to his buddies, and I'd not disparaged him in any way. To this day, I don't know what it was that got his goat. But, I was in his cross hairs ... and in danger. I knew it as it brewed, but there wasn't anything I could do since it was about ~10secs from initial signals to being cornered and seriously threatened.
Long story short, I still don't know how I avoided getting badly pounded, or worse. About a half dozen mutual friends all helped see him to the door, as I and others fell into the background to get out of his "aim." This was ten years prior to my carrying, though I was armed with other items. I simply didn't like my chances, against such a powerful, ugly fighter (wrestling champ and near street thug that he was).
That was it, for me. I left a moment later. I have never, ever attended such a thing again. Won't do it. It's just too darned risky. You might well have control over yourself. But that's only 10% of the problem. The other 90% is what you cannot possibly control, half of which you might not even see coming. That's the problem.
Moral of the story: There is no way to control events in such a situation, other than to not be there or to prevail. I choose to not be there. It's more assured, all the way around.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Being someone who doesn't drink and is in college for their fifth year I'd like to chime in:
I carry EVERYWHERE that is legally allowed; like yourself, I am usually the designated driver. Sometimes I'll take my friends to a place, and it does not take long before I know that it's time to leave. I simply tell my friends I'm gonna jam, and to call me when they need a ride. Somtimes we'll go to a party, and the "spidey" senses don't go off, so I hang out and drink my Tea/Juice. Developing your situational awareness is key.
Aside from the fact if you are legal or not use your head!!!! In Oregon you can legally carry in a bar or tavern, but here is the issue..... lets say you have to use your weapon in the establishment and you have been drinkin' soda all night, when and if you go to trial there will be one person that will say you have been drinkin' or they saw you drinking. The legal issues I can deal with, but the civil case scares me because that person who just tried to end your life has family and they have a lawyer!!!!
I do not know if they will always draw a blood alcohol level on everyone who is in a defensive shooting. I would assume if you are in a shooting incident inside a place where alcohol is served or if the investigating officers suspect alcohol involvement, they probably will.
If they do, that evidence should certainly be sufficient to counter anyone merely saying that they saw you drinking in a criminal or civil proceeding. (Physical scientific evidence is going to trump someone's "lying eyes!")
Before I would demand that the police do an alcohol check for just that reason, I would however hold off until I had a chance to consult with my attorney. He may in fact demand that for you if the police have not already done one.
Just my opinion.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I'm in MI as well, got my permit in March and seldom drink anymore.
As far as the bar carry/resteraunt carry laws we have have in MI and the confusion about them I either don't go or don't drink if I'm carrying in restaurants that serve alcohol. I miss the Margarita with the mexican food, but I can always mix one after I get home and lock up the gun. I very seldom ever do, though. Me personally I'd rather carry than have a drink, even at home.
Now as far as the party goes, sure, I'd carry and not drink if it is just a social group having a few cocktails, on the other hand if it's one of those drink-until-you-get-stupid kind of parties, I don't even bother to go. I try to avoid the instant butthole-just add alcohol types at all times. A lot of folks in the social group we used to hang out with were those types. I miss them, but if we do get together, I make sure it's in a non-drinking environment.
A little common sense goes a long way in knowing where and when to stay or go, if in doubt, I go.

I'm the designated shooter.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
For Pete's sake, three quarters of the people here assume that if adults consume any type alcohol, they'll inevitably go bat-feces crazy and start fights, rip off clothing (), beat the spouse, or initiate felonious behavior.
I can enjoy wine at home with the missus, invite the neighbors over for drinks, or host a happy hour without any drama. I may see a friend or neighbor get tipsy, but we just make sure they don't drive home.
For me, my guns get locked up when the booze comes out, but that's my standard.
We even raised our kids with more of a European view toward alcohol consumption. By 17, they could have diluted wine with meals. I brewed beer in the house. By 18, they could have anything they they wanted as long as it was just family. They grew up fine and each drinks socially without crazy binge drinking or drunken behavior. They couldn't believe the high school kids who went nuts on weekends guzzling rot-gut.
I don't think most folks are worried in the least about what they, themselves, would do if having a glass of wine, or whatever. It's not about me or you, as upstanding folks simply looking to be left alone and not attacked. It's not about what we'd do if we drink a bit.
Rather, it's a simple matter of being able to retain one's judgment in the face of scores of folks at a place where drinking's involved, should anything ugly occur. And, at a place where scores of folks are drinking for hours, one simply cannot predict what can happen or whether the ugly, mean, ornery drunks might find us that night.
It's about the "rule of stupids" that has been suggested, more than anything.
I would just rather not have to meet such a person or group, when I've had one drink. And it's not about what I'd do. It's about what could be claimed against me and my judgment, should anything happen. It's about what a dead attacker's estate could claim against me, if it turns out the idiot tries to kill me based on his stark-raving problem with alcohol. Pass, on that.

If it's a private party, thanks for being the DD. Thanks for keeping you and them safe. And IMAO, it's no worries for carrying. You're being responsible.

Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
Every year around this time I hear these questions arise because of the parties that will be coming up. I think the simple answer is know your surroundings. If it's a party with people loud trashed people I usually leave anyway. Last evening we were at a Treat or Treat party and I carried. The only people that knew were me, myself and I. There was a bit of drinking amoung others. The party was calm and collective so I was comfortable. Goes back to using common sense I think....


text: One of the biggest issues with the iPhone, especially amongst those who live in colder climes, is the tricky question of how best to answer the phone while wearing gloves. Hip-Hop producer Will.I.Am noted on the car show Top Gear that he wears fingerless gloves in order to use all his touchscreen devices, and claimed that capacitive touch gloves weren't fashionable. Fashionable or not, a Dutch company has created a set of gloves knitted with silver-coated nylon fibers in the fabric. The silver in the Mujjo gloves makes them conductive and touchscreen compatible, and, according to TechCrunch, they work as designed. Mujjo's touchscreen gloves come in only two sizes, but stretch to accommodate the largest of hands. They are available from Mujjo's website for EUR24.95 (about US$33) plus shipping. These aren't the only touchscreen gloves on the market, but Mujjo's pair work as advertised. Article Link: Mujjo's Conductive Gloves Swipe to Unlock on a Cold Day

The Stranger Side of Mat Kearney
Mat Kearney wasn't always the smooth musician praised today for his unique fusion of acoustic pop and spoken word. Before songs like "Nothing Left to Lose" and "Closer to Love" put the Nashville songwriter in the spotlight and on the radio waves, he was just an Oregon boy with a penchant for poetry and graffiti. On his recent album, Young Love, Kearney's evolution continues with more robust melodies and deeply personal lyrics. We recently sat down with Kearney to talk about how he's grown as an artist, his mermaid mother (no, really), marrying the love of his life and why faith is best shared through story.
Your new album, Young Love, is your first since signing with a major record label and your first project as a married man. How is this album different as a result?
"Hey Mama" is a really exciting [example] because it helped spear the record. Instead of making a traditional singer-songwriter record, that song happened when I sat down and I was stomping and clapping. I made this groove with claps and this 808, and I started dancing around the room writing this song about meeting my wife. It really helped direct the record into the more program-y, more beat-driven direction. Probably the last song is really important to me. It's called "Rochester," and it's this song I wrote about my family and my grandfather and my dad. It's probably the most personal song I've ever written.
What's the story behind it? And why did it take so long for you to release it?
I'm actually named Mathew William Kearney; my middle name is after my grandfather. My grandfather raised my dad in Rochester, N.Y. He had a fake cigar shop, and he ran an illegal gambling ring out of the back of it. Then the mob came to town when my dad was a freshman. They put my grandfather out of business, because he was taking their business. So my dad had to live through that, and then my dad followed Pink Floyd through Europe for a while. Then he became a lawyer. He moved to Hawaii where he was a deckhand on a boat, and he met my mother, who was a mermaid on a glass-bottom boat. They were married and moved to Oregon. So I guess it's this crazy story that's better than you could make up.

Big Apple Soccer does the math following the departures of Dema Kovalenko and Francis Doe, figuring that the New York Red Bulls now have at least $800,000 of cap room to fill, as seven players have left the team since the end of last season. However, the figure doesn't include new money for players like Seth Stammler, who received pay raises since then.
The seven who departed are as
follows: the retired Ronald Wattereus ($200,000), Markus Schopp ($175,000), Dema Kovalenko ($197,375), Santino Quaranta ($105,312.50), Clint Mathis ($100,000), Francis Doe ($48,000), and Elie Ikangu
($17,700). Mathis' salary assumes that the Red Bulls only had to pick up $100,000 of his $410,000 salary after his trade from the Colorado Rapids before the 2007 season. Midfielder Dave van den
Bergh ($214,583.33) could be the last Red Bulls player to depart prior to the start of next season. If so, the club would have more than $1 million to spend under the cap.
Red Bulls coach
Juan Carlos Osorio said he expects to have some new players by the team returns from its training camp in Salzburg, Austria, on March 7.

Animal Shelters, Rescue Organizations
|Volunteer program:
|Foster homes needed:
|Feral cat program:
|Pet loss support:
"Happy Endings is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no kill organization that has been in existence since 1994. It is run solely by volunteers. Our mission is to find permanent homes for strays, abused or unwanted animals that are either brought in to us or rescued off the street. Happy Endings provides a safe haven for all cats, including; feral, stray, abused, neglected and or critically injured animals. We nurse those who are sick back to health and provide a home for all animals until they are ready to be adopted. No animal is ever euthanized by Happy Endings for convenience sake, but, only when, in a veterinarian's professional opinion is in a state of terminal suffering.
Since Happy Endings is run only by the goodness of people; volunteers are ALWAYS needed. Please stop in the shelter or call our hotline if you love cats and wish to help out the local strays.
Our adoption fees are $85 for one cat or kitten and $130 for two cats or kittens. The adoption fee includes various procedures which have already been performed, such as:
- Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus tests
- Distemper Shots
- Rabies Booster (Good for 1 year from date given)
- Preventative Dewormer
- Spay or Neuter procedure for every cat that is at least 8 months or older
In the case of the adoption of kittens, there is one rule that is in effect. Kittens must go in pairs if there are no other CATS in the home. Dogs, birds, kids or other people do not count.
Note: Under no circumstances do any of the cats at Happy Endings leave the shelter on the same day that they get signed up for. We deliver all our cats to their potential homes. The whole process will be explained at the time of sign up.
If you have an questions, comments or if you wish to get more information on one of our adoptable cats, please e-mail us at email@example.com
Happy endings would like to take this opportunity to thank Crawford Animal Hospital for providing a place to keep, take care of and show some of our adoptable cats there. The turnout has been amazing. Every cat sent there to be shown has been placed into loving homes. To view our cats there, please stop and visit Crawford during their normal business hours. They are located at 4607 South 108th Street, Greenfield, WI 53228."
Happy Endings - Cats A Plenty!
Happy Endings is a wonderful facility. Perhaps not as big as they want to be, but great none the less. Their cats are more than great. They are very healthy, clean and sweet. Not only is Happy Endings a cat shelter, but also a sanctuary as well. They are the only no-kill shelter in the Milwaukee area and will keep their cats, no matter what illness, treat them and then adopt them out UNLESS the vet says it's best to put them to sleep. There are a few there that if taken to a "humane" society, the cats would be deemed unadoptable and put down. But at Happy Endings, they will live happy lives until their "purrfect" home comes along. Isn't that just grrrreat? So, if you're looking for a cat and want to go to a place with happy volunteers that care about each and every cat that comes through that door and is eager to place them all into homes, and if you want to help out a shelter that isn't in it for the money but for the health & welfare of their animals, then come here! It's the place to be.

Front Drive shaft ?
I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee Overland and was wondering if I could remove my front drive shaft without couseing problems with the transmission or transfer case ? it is a quadraa drive setup. I was wanting to see if the fuel mileage would improve?
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
you will ruin your transfer case... there is a viscous coupling in your transfer case that connects your front and rear drive shaft... the coupling spins as your front drive shaft and rear drive shaft both spin.. if you take out your front drive shaft, you will ruin your viscous coupling.
The only reason I know all this is because a buddy of mine bought an old Range Rover kinda blindly and found out the front drive shaft was taken out. usually people only take out a drive shaft if the differential is trashed. Once the front drive shaft is removed, then you trash your transfer case.
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
I did this with a '96 ZJ 249 t-case with no ill effects because I had to get the shaft rebuilt and it was my only vehicle. Don't know how a 247 will like it though. I can tell you it wont save you anything in mileage cause the t-case output and front end are still turning because its a hubless system. It would really smoke the rear tires though:lol:The downside is it would get stuck in wet grass or if someone spit on the road.
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
when i say the t-case is trashed, it will be fine if you keep the driveshaft out... just dont plan on ever putting the driveshaft back in... if you try to put the driveshaft back in, then yes you will have to replace the t-case
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
I ran my 249 for a month without the front ds because I was working 7 days a week and didn't have time to re install the rebuilt shaft. Never hurt a thing. Put the new shaft in and it ran fine for years until I sold it. People hear "viscous coupler"and say ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh that fragile glass thing deep in there that runs on snake oil and performs motion magic cause of all the misleading info on the web. It's nothing more than a hydraulic diff and really not that fragile at least in a Jeep anyway. But as I posted earlier there is no benefit to running without it in a GC unless you have a bad shaft and still need your wheels.
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
There is no viscous coupling in a 247 T-case, but a progressive coupling. I did remove my front propeller shaft for some weeks awaiting a new CV joint and my T-case is still ok.
Re: Front Drive shaft ?
I researched this and found it had no ill effects on the t-case. I am considering doing it next year (spring>fall) to light up the rears and for dyno'ing. :D

On a windy Monday, Natalie Vos was hitting balls out of the park, while Emma Schnell was keeping them in the playing field during Pella Christian's 8 – 1 win over Pella High on the softball diamond.

Participating in their second tournament of the 2016 season, the Pella High softball team lost just once in three games at Oskaloosa on Saturday.
Keywords: Pella High Softball
Fueled by momentum from Thursday night's thrilling comeback over Chariton, the Pella High baseball team pounded Grinnell in a Little Hawkeye Conference sweep last night in their home league opener.
Keywords: Pella High Baseball, Pella High Softball
"You might not believe it when I tell you." That was the first line of a text from head coach Jesse Jablonski of the Pella High baseball team last night.
The first three innings made it seem like we were in for an early-season pitcher's duel against two state tournament foes.
Before they open conference action tonight, the Pella baseball and softball teams kept their early season momentum moving in the right direction with a pair of wins at home last night.
One fact that may be overlooked when reminiscing on the 2015 Pella High softball season that ended in Fort Dodge is that the Lady Dutch will only be without two seniors next year.
What makes what the Pella High softball squad was able to accomplish in 2015 much more exciting is the fact that almost the entire team will be back next season to give it another run.
In a season that ended in Fort Dodge, the Pella High softball team earned a plethora of honors for their impressive performance.
There are many, many reasons why Pella High making it to Fort Dodge for the Class 4A state softball tournament next week is special to this team and community.
After giving up one run to begin the game, the Pella High softball team scored 11 unanswered against Marion, highlighted by a seven-run first inning, to advance to their first ever state softball tournament.
They held their own in a packed Little Hawkeye Conference, blanked No. 2-ranked Indianola, and tonight in Oskaloosa, the Pella High softball team can be one of the eight teams in Class 4A to punch their ticket to Fort Dodge and the state tournament.
It had the makings of an Old West shootout, with two talented offenses butting heads on Saturday.
Knocking off a ranked-Knoxville to get here, Pella High softball continues their journey towards Fort Dodge tonight with a game against No. 2-ranked Indianola in the Class 4A regional semifinals.
One swing of the bat wound up being the difference in Pella High's 5 – 2 win over Knoxville last night in the Class 4A regional tournament opener.
Keywords: Knoxville Softball, Pella High Softball
An hour-plus road trip did not put the Pella High softball team's bats to sleep on Tuesday night, as they used them to wallop Perry, 9 – 2.
Getting their spirits dampened (again) by the rain, both Pella High baseball and softball will try to get in some action tonight in non-conference tests with the postseason looming.
There wasn't much charge in Chariton on the softball diamond on Friday night, as they fell to Pella High, 13 – 3.
Playing right behind the boys on the baseball diamond, the Pella High softball team came up a few runs short of Newton yesterday, 4 – 2.
The Pella Christian softball team was able to best their crosstown rivals in the final inning for the second time this year at their home field.
Were you ever in 4-H?

thanks; i went and read through the stickys last night... which would have given me the answers i was looking for! i managed to get a new battery in today; nice to be able to start her up without popping the hood, stretching the cables, etc etc...
read the owner's manual as well; BMW don't really put much info in there... luckily the PO kept the entire packet and the radio code was present. have to crank it full volume to get any sound.... probably dead woofers, as the only sound was coming from up front.
she behaved very well today; no hunting for idle, no runaway when shifting into park... i'll try a stomp test Sunday when i have time to interpret the results. i like the fuel minder feature; amazing how often it indicates 30+ mpg (good vacuum; indicates good valves).
now, to get the windows working... i'm betting on dirty switches...

I just wanted to write in my diary how good it feels to hear that I make someone else happy, other than my mom!! Mom and I take a walk every night when she gets home from work. I love our walks because we live in a nice small community where most humans say hello when they walk by. My walks are a lot of fun because humans will stop me and mom on the street and ask to pet me. They will mention to mom that they have seen us walking around town and that they have been wanting to come over and say hi to me because I look so friendly. I love that because I love humans. Usually our evening walks are around our small town green. There is a nice big grassy area with benches, a teeny tiny train station, our local police station, and some little stores. That means there are plenty of people to say hi to. Lately on our walks we have run into a very nice man. He loves to stop and say hello to me. Mom makes sure I sit nicely when I see him because he is disabled. He has trouble walking and has a speech problem. Every day on our walk he comes over to talk to me and pet me and give me kisses. He always has a bag of ice with him so that he can feed the ice to me because he thinks it is too hot out. Mom doesn't even mind that he thinks I'm a girl and calls me Lassie. He is so happy when he sees me, he gives me tons of kisses, pets me quite a bit and talks to me. Well, tonight mom and I were walking our usual route and a policeman came walking over to us and said "Is that Lassie???" and mom remembering that my friend calls me Lassie laughed and said yes, that I was Lassie. Mom explained that I'm really Oliver. The policeman said that he knows all about me because my friend who gives me ice has told everyone he knows about Lassie the dog who stops everyday to give him kisses. The policeman told mom that my friends name is Frank, that he has severe brain damage from a stroke a few years ago. He is only 40 years old. The police man said that everyone knows Frank because he can't work and visits all the stores and the police station to say hello everyday. The policeman wanted to thank mom for letting me stop and say hi to Frank everyday because it has made Frank very happy. Frank went into the police station and told them that he gets kisses from Lassie everyday. The policeman said that Frank grabs a chair and sits on the sidewalk in the afternoon (for about 2 hours) waiting for us to walk by and that he tells everyone he sees that he is waiting for Lassie to come say hello. That made mom feel so wonderful. It's not a huge thing, but she is glad that we have made another person whose life is tough, a little bit happier. Frank can keep calling me Lassie all he wants, I'll still continue giving him kisses. It's nice to know that we have made a bit of a difference to someone.
WOOHOO I have been luv tagged by my best girl Bella!!
So..now I have to tag 10 pals and say nice things about them. That's easy!!
Bella - She is so pretty with those giant brown eyes. Bella is a big giant sweetie! She is the best co-pilot any get away driver could ask for! She's also great at running away from scary things, just like me!! She's a big ole' luv bug.
Gypsy - 533273 - She's 10 yeas old and has more spunk than a lot of puppies out there. Gypsy is cute and fluffy like me. She is just a sweet girl.
Skye -376131- It's all in the eyes man...Skye has that cool different colored eye that I am jealous of! He's just all around cool and he is Quinny's brother, so that makes him a good guy.
Quinn - 376732 - Her song on her page makes me dance everytime I hear it. Her song makes me happy. Quinny is a sweetie and just as happy as her song is. Quinny is another pretty girl.
Webster - 441532 - My dog partner in crime. Always willing to strap on his doggles and make the rounds in the car with me! He's got that intellectual look about him, so he'd make me look smart if we hung out together. Web is a cool dude.
Awesome - 530080 - What can I say, Awesome is just awesome!! He was the life of my birthday with his super clow outfit. He always has the party hoppin. He's cute as a button too.
Daisy May - 482412 - A true sweet pea. Daisy is a true friend to a lot of us around here. She made me my beautiful blingee picture on my page, I love it! I'm so glad she is my friend.
Josie - 577827 - Josie, Josie, Josie, what can I say about Josie. Josie is Josie.. She is a mastiff in a chihuahua body. She is the spunkiest and the silliest girl out there. Josie makes me BOL everyday! She saves me when my mom stalks me with the camera. She is also a little trouble maker, but I think that's great!! She's a pal. And soo adorable.
Minster Jr. - 577814 - Minster is too cool for words. He's everybody's friend. Just like Josie, he has huge dog spirit in a lil body. Minster puts up with all of Josie's antics like a trooper.
Abby - 577606 - I just met Abby recently, but she is a cool pup. I think she is so funny and silly. She can fly too! (just go see for yourself on her page). Abby has a beautiful name just like my late sister Abby.
And the best nice thing I can say about all my pup pals here, they are all around GREAT beacuse they make their families so very happy. If they didn't, they wouldn't be here on dogster with such great pages, showing how much they are loved!!
So, you see, I tagged Abby, Minster, Josie, Daisy May, Awesome, Webster, Quinny, Skye, Gypsy and in a way, Bella.
Mom always says what a silly boy I am. I am not quite sure what that means, but, I go along with her since she feeds me. Anyway, mom and I go for a nice long walk everyday. I love it. Mom says we go about five miles. All I know is it is just right for me to meet as many people as I possibly can. Well, on Sundays we go for our nice long walk and then we stop at a little general store to say hello to some of my favorite people, eat a couple of treats and buy what mom calls a "Sunday paper". So today is Sunday. As usual mom is awake before me. I prefer to sleep in. Mom got up and did her morning routine while I continued to get my beauty sleep. After mom got ready she went down to the front door and grabbed my leash so I would wake up. After my stretching and yawning, I decided to walk down to the door. There was mom waiting for me. I nosed around a bit then decided to see what she was up to. She said "ready to go??" Which I was, I love my walk. So, I sat down for mom to put my collar and leash on me. Mom got me ready and said "let's go". So, I decided to show mom what a "silly boy" I am. I went to the table in our hall like mom does before she goes out and I grabbed the same little black "wallet" that mom always grabs before she leaves. I knew mom needed it because that is where she hides my walk treats and the money she buys her Sunday paper with. Mom laughed at me and told me I am silly. So, she tought I was going to give her the wallet, but she was wrong. It was my job to carry her wallet. I am the boy, I need to carry the wallet. She should have known that. So anyway, after she figured out that I was in charge of the money, we decided to leave. We headed out the front door and we were on our way. Mom just kept looking at me and laughing. I guess she thought it was funny that I was walking around with her wallet hanging out of my mouth. Other people thought it was funny too. As we walked people who walked by laughed at me. One very nice family pulled over to laugh and point. What mom doesn't realize is that I do these "silly" things just so I get more attention from people. So, we went on our five mile walk. Th entire time we walked I was a good boy and carried mom's wallet for her. When we got to or store where we stop to say hi, I was a very smart boy and put mom's wallet on the floor in front of her. I had to, there were tasty treats to be eaten. Mom was silly and tought she had been given possession of her wallet again, but she was sadly mistaken. I finished my treats, let my friends at the store pet me and then let mom know it was time to go. I sat in front of her like a nice polite boy and stared at her wallet. When mom FINALLY figured out wat I was doing, she handed me the wallet and I took it back for our walk home. We headed back home with me happily being in control of the cash. Mom laughed at me the entire time because she said I looked so silly carrying a wallet. I have no idea why it was so silly. I thought I was quite smart remembering that we needed to take money with us on our Sunday walk. So that was my morning adventure. I think I will take it easy for a little while. I have to save my energy for later. Mom said she is going to a picnic today and she can't take me because its too hot outside for me and her dad has cats, so I can't stay inside. So, lucky me, that means I get to go ovr my pug cousins Rocky and Rosie's house to keep them company. That means lots and lots of running around like we are insane. Rosie is a wild child according to mom and just gets me going. She brings out the "naughty boy" in me. We run around like nuts, we wrestle and torture poor Rocky who is much quieter than us. But its fun fun fun. When I get home tonight, I will tell you of my adventures!!
