In Steele's mind, assuming he wins, what kind of surrender/peace treaty would he want the UEF to sign?
What's the situation regarding uef infiltration into the alliance command element?
I only want a Yes/No answer, Were the Shivans made by a Boltzmann brain / Type-6 civilization / or are a subsystem of a higher entity?It's obvious in hindsight.
Will future installments remain with Laporte as the player's character, switch back to Bei or another previously-encountered character, or will we become a completely new character?Will the next installment feature a significant increase in cap-ship command missions?
Capship command would ideally become a possible approach to a mission rather than a mission type of its own, but who knows if that's achievable.
What role will the Fedayeen (including its computation asset CASSANDRA) play in the final stages of the war?
For your release plans, will Acts 4 and 5 of WIH be released individually (as separate releases) or will 4+5 be released together?
So... the entire plan against the Wargods is predicated on the fact that the Imperiuse never left the system. The UEF thinks it leaves after its airwing gets smashed in Darkest Hour, but that's well before the Wargods were formed.Was the Imperiuse just a lucky accident for Steele or did he intentionally keep it in system as part of a plan to get rid of a battlegroup that hasn't even formed yet?
Capship command would ideally become a possible approach to a mission rather than a mission type of its own, but who knows if that's achievable.

Why is the Myrmidon still so commonly used for space superiority even in TEI battlegroups? Is there a massive surplus of Myrm hulls as a result of some politicking in the Capella era? Is it supposed to be more noob friendly than the Perseus or Herc 2? With the Myrm's fighter-bomber update perhaphs bomber pilots are using it when pressed into CAP due to other squadrons not being available?
@Oratuta:Does the Vasudan Imperium have any special objectives in the Sol Theater, beyond what we have already been told?
What's going on with captured GTVA ships by UEF? What is the super secret project that 1st Fleet is working on, with ships defected to UEF like Lambouchere and captured tech from logistic ship? Will we see beam-equipped UEF warships?Will we see Sanctuary again? What is her role in further events?
Will we ever meet Brie or Kassim again?And I assume that the next time Laporte contacts with Ken is going to be rather face-to-face? (Ending of UT2, "We can't speak ever again" or something suggesting that Laporte or Ken is being watched by someone from now on)

I'll Push You Is a True test of Humanity
Written by Nikki Artale
I'll Push You tells the story of life long best friends who go on a 500 mile journey across mountains, deserts, valleys and hills traveling 10 to 15 hours a day for a 34 day wheel chair journey. Patrick Gray pushed Justin Skeesuck, who was in a wheelchair, in El Camino de Santiago, Spain. Justin watched a Travel Channel episode on the ancient pilgrimage and wanted to go on this journey and he asked his best friend Patrick if he would like to go and Patrick said "Yes I'll Push You" and that is how it all began.
Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck
This inspirational documentary shows the support of family and friends, their friendship, their love for each other and the adventure they shared. It is an emotional story with heart and soul and many other pilgrims who were also hiking helped push and pull Justin Skeesuck through the many obstacles along the 500 mile journey. Along the path they inspired friends and people to carry them up the mountains. www.I'llpushyou.com
Fathom Events along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association presented this message of love and friendship between Patrick and Justin who is strong, positive and optimistic and who has restored our faith in humanity with all the many good people in this world. www.facebook.com/illpushyou

If players and fans do not like Rodriquez because of his lying and steroid use, it is understandable. But remember that he is only in the league because Major League Baseball and the baseball players' union have allowed it.
Dempster is a veteran pitcher. He knows that it was his union that fought for, and won, the appeals process that put Alex Rodriquez on the field during the investigation. The league wound up suspending Dempster.
The most vocal critic of the Rodriquez situation has been Boston pitcher John Lackey. Lackey has an earned run average (ERA) of 3.17 (as of Sunday), which is very good. Dempster's ERA is an uncomfortable 4.77. Did the Red Sox tell Lackey to hold off on any intentional infractions so they could have Dempster plunk Rodriquez instead?
It seems like a conspiracy theory, but Boston knew a suspension would follow. Why not have the most ineffective starter on your staff be the fall guy? They also may have figured the Yankees would respond by having C.C. Sabathia retaliate, a good way to get the New York ace out of the rotation for a start as well. But Sabathia and the Yankees let it go.
The flaws are in the administration of the game. The league seems far more interested in expanding instant replay and futzing with the playoff system than enforcing common sense rules about performance enhancing drugs.
Why can't this league simply say that all contracts are null and void when a player is found guilty of using banned substances? How weak is a league that cannot enforce that rule?
If players are angry at Rodriquez, they better take a look at themselves; it is their union that allowed for this circus. A commissioner like Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner from 1920-1944, would have banned everyone on that list. Any players who want to strike would also have been replaced.
It would take three years to have top quality players back in the majors, but the league would be clean afterward. The league allowed for this, and the Boston Red Sox (who are not without sticky hands in this controversy) are way off on the way they handled this.
Good for Rockaway
The extended use of the Rockaway ferry for residents commuting to and from Manhattan is one of the best moves the city has made in response to the hurricane.
Of course, getting homeowners back home and helping them rebuild is the most important part of the recovery process, but Rockaway residents are too close to Manhattan to make that dreadful rail commute to the city every day.
The ferry will most likely not continue beyond 2014, but this part of the city deserves all of the subsidies they can get to make life easier. I supported the idea of a ferry back in 2000 as an Assembly candidate, and I still love the notion of making commuting easier.
The service will not be around long enough to see the impact on the Rockaways with such improved transportation, but it would be great to see what businesses would sprout up and what the real estate market would look like because of permanent ferry service.

Is Mundia.com Dysfunctional?
Just in case there is some solution and this problem is still viable, I decided post my present experiences and see if someone out there can tell me if the program is supposed to work or not? Thanks for the responses.
7 comments:
I created a different account on a computer that I had never used for Ancestry.com - found still couldn't do searches properly on Mundia - basically this has been the situation since about September 2013. If it were to be resolved then I would be happy as I liked the search functionality of Mundia as it did different things to AncestryReplyDelete
I was able to log on with my Ancestry info and also had the option to log on with my Facebook account. However, I noticed that Chrome changed the URL to http://www.mundia.com/us/. Site is very, very slow and I have only a 600 person tree currently loaded - I was unable to load any of the other trees I have at Ancestry or have been 'invited' to view. I would say it certainly isn't totally functional.ReplyDelete
I was able to sign in with my Ancestry log-in and added a tree. My question is: Why would I want to since it seems to be a duplicate of the Ancestry Family Tree - I left it there and have logged out and logged back in several times with no problem.ReplyDelete
I've not had any problems with it, other than the occasional search outage. It's got a cumbersome infrastructure compared to other sites, and I've mainly used it in the rare occurrence that I'd like to learn more about someone in an Ancestry Member Tree (since its a duplicate of them). Doesn't seem to have much use otherwise, and Ancestry seems to have abandoned it for the last couple years development-wise.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 19, 2014 at 7:24 PM
I've had frequent error messages using it: 'Error Retrieving ViewsReplyDelete
Error retrieving AJAX views, request failure' as well as regular 'spinning wheels' where I think a tree is trying to load but it does nothing. I've asked Mundia support for help with these issues but they don't reply. Lots of people asking for help on Mundia's Facebook page too :O(
Seems they have even abandoned their Facebook page. Considering that ancestry.com's FB page seems to "the place" to go for support, one wonders if they are trying to let Mundia just wither and die. I think they should have pulled the plug long ago.ReplyDelete

Brandi Cibrian has requested spousal support from estranged husband Eddie Cibrian, according to court papers filed on October 22 in Los Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by Access Hollywood.
Brandi cited her monthly income as "none," and claims she has $39,963 in total monthly expenses for herself and the former couple's sons Jake and Mason, including an $11,942 mortgage and $4,000 for "eating out."

She further claims that Eddie has only spent a handful of nights with the children since their separation over the summer, stating that they spend 90% of their time with her.
Brandi claims that Eddie earns $60,000 a week for his role on "CSI: Miami," but has paid nothing outside of the household bills and has not given her access to his bank accounts.

According to the court papers, the former couple allegedly separated on July 16, 2009, after 8 years of marriage.

Several years ago I received a letter from a fellow in Champaign, Illinois in which he asked me a number of very thought provoking questions about Jesus before He became incarnate in the flesh. Since that time, a number of other people have contacted me with a variety of questions concerning the same subject. I've collected my answers and will post them in four parts in this "Angel of the Lord" series.
Question: Did Jesus make appearances before His incarnation?
Answer: Definitely. A good example is found in Isaiah 6. King Uzziah, who had reigned for 52 years in Judah, had just died, and Isaiah, who was probably only a teenager at the time, went to the Temple to mourn the king's death.
Isaiah was surprised by a vision in which he saw the Lord — the King of kings — "sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted" (Isaiah 6:1). In John 12:41 we are told that what Isaiah saw was Jesus in "His glory" — the glory He had before He became incarnate (Philippians 2:5-8).
Question: I have heard that "the Angel of the Lord" who is often referred to in the Old Testament was really Jesus making preincarnate appearances. Is this true?
Answer: "The Angel of the Lord" is referred to 56 times in 51 verses in the Hebrew Scriptures. The first reference is found in Genesis 16:7-12 where it says that "the Angel of the Lord" appeared to Hagar as she was fleeing in the wilderness from the rage of Abraham's wife. The Angel told her to go back home, and then He revealed to her that she was pregnant with a son whose name would be called Ishmael.
A study of the subsequent appearances of the Angel of the Lord makes it very clear that they were pre-incarnate appearances of Jesus.
A good example is found in Exodus 3. There we are told that the Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush (verse 2). Then we are later told that the Angel spoke to Moses and said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" (verse 6).
In Exodus 23 we are told that God the Father spoke to Moses and said He would send an angel to guide and protect the Children of Israel in the Wilderness. He refers to this angel as "My angel" and states that "My name is in Him" (Exodus 23:20-23). This is obviously no ordinary angel.
In Judges 13 we are told that the Angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah and his wife to inform them that they would have a child named Samson. When Manoah asked the Angel for His name, He replied, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?" (Judges 13:18). Manoah got the point of this statement immediately, for he turned to his wife and said, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God" (Judges 13:22).
The Angel's deity is also attested to by the fact that on two occasions He accepted worship. When He appeared to both Moses (Exodus 3:1-5) and Joshua (Joshua 5:14-15), they were told to remove their sandals for they were "standing on holy ground."
Couldn't the Angel of the Lord have been God the Father rather than God the Son? Find out in the next part of this "Angel of the Lord" series!

Do I need to be forgiven for having a gall stone removed? No, that's not what I mean….
In the past 44 years since abortion became legal nationally due to the Roe V. Wade decision, over 50 Million unborn babies have had their lives snuffed out.
As much as we who are ProLife think about those precious innocent babies. Do we stop to really think about those women who lost those babies due to abortion?
In abortion there are two victims. One is left living (usually) and the other is left dead. But the mother, who must go on living with the knowledge that she chose to terminate the life of her own child is often tortured. And many don't realize they have committed a sin,due to many factors,including teaching about "evolution". Our culture has called abortion a "Medical Procedure". The truth is that abortion is a Killing. The killing is not just of the unborn child within the womb. Other deaths take place. Often the death of the spirit of that woman takes place. She is so wounded by the abortion experience that her life is altered forever.
Women need healing and hope after an abortion. But due to the pain, shame, and guilt, most women may keep their abortion(s) a secret. They hold in the pain. The pain does come out in many ways, however. These women often lose their relationship with the father of the baby that was aborted. They then may go on to have serial relationships which are unhealthy or even abusive, since often low self-esteem results from an abortion. Other women may turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. And others yet may harden their hearts and conscience and try going on like nothing happened.
The women have been lied to and duped by this culture of death. They are suffering and many don't know where to turn for relief.
As a woman who has gone the through the torture of abortion personally, I can tell you there is only one place or really one person to turn to that is JESUS. He is the only one capable of taking away from you the sin of abortion. You see, when a woman makes the choice to kill, she has the blood of her unborn baby on her hands. That is innocent blood. So you see that is why you feel so badly. It's why you need to drink, or do drugs, or have relationships, or sex to try to brush away that guilty stain on your heart and mind.
You cannot remove the pain, the stain; you cannot do it. Jesus can! He died a horrible death on a Roman Cross to take upon Himself the responsibility for what you have done. Can you believe it? Many cannot. It sounds too simple, right? Or maybe it sounds too good to be true? Or maybe it sounds like a Religion? Rationalizations can be innumerable. But Jesus is none of those things. He is a person. He is the Savior (of you,) if you will only call out with a mustard seed (tiny bit) of belief in Him, then He will show himself to you, personally. You can ask him for forgiveness. You need to ask. It is called Repentence. We cannot and will not be forgive unless we ask for it. That is the Free Will that God put in each of us. He forgave me. He will do it for you-when you choose to ASK Him.
The only way Jesus will not come and cleanse and forgive you is if you are unwilling. Some are too proud. Some are too smart or educated. Some believe there are many paths to God or heaven. Some think they are "good" people. Some just deny the pain away and believe they did nothing wrong, it was a blob of tissue and just a medical procedure. You know in your heart of hearts it was so much more.
I am so grateful that Jesus loved me so much that he drew me to himself with his great Love. He does that. He draws people through his Goodness and Mercy.
In our culture if someone commits a homicide. Lets say goes up to someone and shoots another person with a gun. That person is guilty of murder, and is punished. Yet our culture legalized, condones and even promotes murdering the most helpless people of all. And the only punishment for the doctors and women is perhaps a guilty conscience, if that.
I hope you will think about what I have said. Let it really sink in to your heart and mind. Maybe you are a person of another religion. Maybe you don't believe in God's existence. Or maybe you believe in many paths of righteousness that can lead to "God" as you see Him or Her or It.
Whatever the case may be in your personal life. All you need to do is sit on your bed and sincerely (verbally or silently) say "Jesus, if you are real, as others believe. Then please show yourself to me. " He will begin in perhaps subtle ways to draw you. You will see His faithfulness. Open your heart and you will see.
It may sound silly, but again, it's the mustard seed of faith. And He hears you when you call. He loves you. He created you. He knew you before your were born and even before this earth was created.
He wants to make your life whole again. He wants you to know His Great Love and Forgiveness. We all need forgiveness because none of us has lived a perfect life. And we cannot be good enough to earn it. It is through His sacrifice that we can make it here in this life and most importantly to Eternity with Him in Heaven. And you definitely want to end up in Heaven because that is where your baby is, with Jesus. The innocent are gathered around the Father's throne in heaven. If you choose Christ you will be reunited with your aborted (unborn) child.
May His Holy Spirit touch you now, that you Believe this: The Good News.
In Jesus Name.

Tom Mayberry buying race track from Bill Ryan
The owner of the Oxford Plains Speedway announced Sunday night that he is selling the race track.
In a news release on the race track's website, owner Bill Ryan said he is selling Oxford Plains Speedway to veteran promoter Tom Mayberry.

"I am proud of what we have accomplished over the last fourteen years. I want to thank all the fans, drivers, teams, employees and partners for their support," Ryan said.
Ryan is also part owner of the Maine Red Claws basketball team.

SeeClickFix encourages citizens to report non-emergency issues, like graffiti or potholes, in a public format. SeeClickFix hopes making these and similar nuisance issues public will make the appropriate agencies more likely to address the problems.
Issues reported are posted on the website. The word "open" next to an issue indicates that it is active. Resolved issues are marked "closed" and remain visible for three weeks. Then they are archived. Anyone can read posted issues, make comments and even close an issue. An issue can be closed one day and reopened the next if someone is not satisfied with its resolution.
Posts and comments are not prescreened. This unregulated discussion is one of the website's fundamental principles, according to Ben Berkowitz, co-founder and chief executive director of SeeClickFix, who said the system is "open and transparent."
SeeClickFix's openness is popular with social network users and bloggers. In addition, local businesses, media outlets and neighborhood organizations use the site to monitor their communities.
Anyone can sign up on the SeeClickFix site to "watch" any area they choose. "Watchers" receive email alerts from SeeClickFix whenever an issue in that community is reported. They are also notified when comments are posted regarding the issue.

Sequim Gazette
From humble beginnings playing in picnic shelters to booming patriotic tunes for more than 1,000 people on the Fourth of July, the Sequim City Band finds itself deeply rooted going into its 20th season.
The 60-member band directed by Sanford Feibus plays Sunday, March 11, (see box) with a spirit of childhood.
Clarinetist Deena Patfield was given the opportunity to choose music that reminded her of growing up in England, such as "Peter and the Wolf," which includes narration by Paul Martin, a seasoned local actor. Other selections include "The Wizard of Oz," "Mary Poppins" and "What a Wonderful World."
"Hopefully people will enjoy it," Patfield said. "To me that's what makes a good band is leaving a tune in someone's head."
Sequim trombonist Roger Merideth joined the band near its beginning. He began playing in Port Angeles but found Sequim to be another good opportunity to play.
"The music kept me playing more than anything else," Merideth said.
The city band plays a variety of music — marches, Broadway, movie music, big band, swing, jazz, classics and patriotic tunes.
Merideth said he's a little surprised by the band's sustainability "because you wouldn't expect musicians to stick together this long."
Patsy Mattingley, flutist and fundraiser for the band, said going into its 20th year the group has grown from 20 to 60 regular players.
"The mission remains the same: to give good music to the community," she said.
Tyler Benedict, a tuba player from Port Angeles, started a few months ago after being invited by members of the Olympic Express Big Band to play. He's a featured soloist in this first performance.
He started on trumpet in middle school and said musical playing options are limit-ed once people graduate from high school or college.
"Some players have put down their instruments for 20 or 30 years," he said. "It's important to have a community band. It's a great outlet."
Patfield, 66, began playing the clarinet at 55 and joined the band four years ago.
"It offers a service," she said, "Not everyone can afford going to a concert. This is free and great music always brings people together."
Saxophonist Miles Vokurka is one of three players from Port Townsend. Vokurka, a retired band teacher, used to play in the city band in the late 1990s but put his horn away for 10 years. He started again a few years ago.
"This is a big thing in Sequim," Vokurka said. "It's come a long way. It's just a fun, good group that continues to get better. The pieces they play are pretty interesting, too."
Band concerts range from 350 people to 500 on nice weather days to 1,000 on the Fourth of July.
Mattingley said the biggest challenge is getting concerts ready in the summer because they only have four rehearsals between concerts.
"Our challenge is playing for the same people and keeping them entertained," she said.
The band is without younger blood, too. For the first time, possibly ever, no high school students are playing in the band.
Mattingley said they offer scholarships, teachers offer extra credit to join and members from diverse musical backgrounds offer a lot of expertise.
Members range from college students to age 86.
Chuck Swisher founded the band, which operates as a nonprofit, in 1992. The organization built the James Center for Performing Arts in the Water Reuse Center Site in 2005, as the venue for monthly concerts on the third Sunday of each month from May to September. Each season begins and ends indoors in March and October.

In a perfect world, state of the union addresses would be 20 minutes long and the president delivering them would under-promise and over-deliver. Alas, perfection was not to be, at least on Tuesday evening with President Barack Obama.
In a perfect world, state of the union addresses would be 20 minutes long and the president delivering them would under-promise and over-deliver. Alas, perfection was not to be, at least on Tuesday evening with President Barack Obama.
Not that we're being critical, necessarily, though all in all this was a pretty traditional performance — nearly an hour long, complete with the rundown of promised programs, the requisite people props, the majority party with its standing ovations and the minority party sitting on its hands.
Certainly this talk had its moments. If we had hoped for a little less "New Deal" FDR and a little more rally-the-troops Churchill going in, what we got was something closer to vintage Muhammad Ali, promising to kick some economic butt, doing a little rope-a-dope with opponents, getting into some call-and-response rhythm if not quite rhyme.
Of course, it's not braggin' if you back it up, and certainly we hope, for the nation's sake, that Obama & Co. do. We can't recall a more outspokenly ambitious agenda: 3.5 million new jobs in the next two years, double the nation's renewable energy supply in three, halve the deficit by the end of his first term, even find "a cure for cancer in our time," for gosh sakes.
Certainly the president left no one guessing about what his priorities are: energy independence, affordable and quality health care for all, cradle-to-career education. Nor did he mince words in communicating there's a new sheriff in town, as this speech may have been most striking in its repudiation of the policies of the Bush years.
Indeed, multiple times Obama spoke of the deficit his administration "inherited." He will raise taxes on the nation's wealthiest, end the U.S. occupation of Iraq, stop no-bid military contracts, close the prison camp at Guantanamo, bring transparency to the nation's behavior at home and abroad. "For seven years, we have been a nation at war. No longer will we hide its price," he said. "Without exception or equivocation ... America does not torture."
Fundamentally, Uncle Sam is embarking upon a philosophical about-face: "I reject the view that says our problems will simply take care of themselves, that says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity," Obama said.
He also sounded some populist themes, assuring Americans that the "days are over" when CEOs "use taxpayer money to pad their paychecks or buy fancy drapes or disappear on a private jet." Meanwhile, he appreciates the outrage over seeming to reward irresponsible decision-making with mortgage rescues. "I promise you. I get it," he said. "But "in a time of crisis, we cannot afford to govern out of anger, or yield to the politics of the moment."
The president also attempted to soothe the skeptics and confront the critics who feel he's taking the nation in the wrong direction. The idea, he said, is not to "supplant private enterprise," but to "catalyze" it. The recently passed stimulus package came "not because I believe in bigger government. I don't," but because "the cost of inaction" is "far greater."
Still, he'll forgive those who think bigger government is exactly what he believes in, that he's over-reaching, that his spending is nothing short of alarming. Cut the deficit in half? Half of what? Half of this year's projected $1.2 trillion? If that's the case, we'd remind readers that a $600 billion annual deficit is quite unsustainable and comes nowhere near sparing future generations of "a debt they cannot pay." Meanwhile, he promises to all but eliminate "waste, fraud and abuse" in the budget. We've heard that before.
The president may have been at his best on the subject of education. "Dropping out of high school is no longer an option," he said. "It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country." Parents must do their jobs. "There is no program or policy that can substitute for a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child. I speak ... not just as a president, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home." So it must, and it costs taxpayers nothing.
Finally, this president knows how to be stirring, and he certainly has the body language — relaxed, confident — down. "We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," he said, while reminding listeners of this nation's proud tradition of responding to challenge. "This is America. We don't do what's easy. We do what is necessary."
Rhetoric is one thing, reality another, of course. Wall Street's knee-jerk reaction to the president's speech was not positive. The banking bailout still lacks specificity. Home sales have a way to go. The budget this administration crafts will be quite telling. Frankly, we'd settle for Washington getting its spending under control and pointing the economy back in the right direction and say, "Hallelujah!"
Apparently, that's not enough for Obama. If nothing else, now we have a definitive blueprint against which we can measure this chief executive.

SCOTLAND'S First Minister believes a new pathway spanning the breadth of central Scotland will generate £40 million for communities over the next five years.
Yesterday Alex Salmond officially opened the John Muir Way, a 134-mile path from Helensburgh in the west to Dunbar in the east named in honour of the Scots-born environmentalist who is revered across the Atlantic.
Walkers, cyclists and horse riders can enjoy the rocky coasts of East Lothian where Muir played as a child, Blackness Castle on the Forth, Linlithgow Palace, Roman hill forts on Antonine's Wall and the Falkirk Wheel, among other highlights.
The First Minister declared the John Muir Way open yesterday afternoon as a flare was sent up from a RNLI lifeboat, with ramblers, runners, cyclists, flag-bearers and street performers blazing a trail through the first section of the path.
Mr Salmond said: "John Muir was a remarkable Scot - a man whose passion for nature and the outdoors left an incredible environmental legacy that resonates to this day.
"From humble beginnings in Dunbar, his influence spread across the world and his name now adorns parks, glaciers and mountains. His legacy is celebrated in an annual commemorative day in California and his image has featured on two US postage stamps.
"There is no more fitting tribute, in 2014 the 100th anniversary of his death and in our Year of Homecoming, than to officially open the John Muir Way from Helensburgh to Dunbar and take walkers and cyclists through 134 miles of splendid scenery in Scotland's heartland.
"The route will encourage many thousands of people to get out into the outdoors, get some exercise and enjoy the iconic scenery of Muir's country of birth.
"Today's opening is a great way of kicking off the Scottish Government's Physical Activity Awareness Week, which encourages people to take more exercise in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games.
"As well as the health benefits, the new John Muir Way is expected to help Scotland's tourist industry and around £40 million in economic benefits are expected to be brought to the many communities that are connected along the route.
"I am sure the new John Muir Way will be an incredible success and I hope that the many, many thousands of people who will make their way along it in the coming years enjoy a magnificent day out."
John Muir: The Scot who helped establish America's national parks
John Muir was born in Dunbar in 1838 before emigrating to the United States in 1849.
He helped save the Yosemite Valley in California, was a co-founder of grassroots enviornmental organisation The Sierra Club and successfully campaigned for national parks in America.
Ian Ross, Scottish Natural Heritage chairman, said: "The route is an easy and enjoyable way for the three million people who live in the central belt to enjoy the outdoors every day by foot, bicycle, and even by horseback in some places."
The route has been divided into 10 sections allowing people to complete it in shorter walks or cycles.
It is marked with signs, and a website, book, leaflets and map have been created to give people the information they need to complete all or part of the trail.
The John Muir Way has been developed by Scottish Natural Heritage over three years and the body hopes to encourage more people to learn about Muir and explore the outdoors.
It is also hoped that it will boost tourism and visitor numbers to many towns and villages along the route.

microsat wrote:In testing our experimental motors for ignition/re-ignition in space we built an 200mm vacuum chamber and simply use an aluminum plate with a silicon gasket. When the vacuum is applied, it holds the cap on yet when we do ignition, the cap blows away harmlessly.
Yes, this is the simplest way to do it, but I prefer the "chamber" (pipe) to be mounted horizontally with fall-away covers on both ends. Then, even when the engine fails catastrophically during a test (and you know it will now and then), the pipe can not become pressurized by the explosion because both ends open instantly. While the pipe might be shattered by an engine failure, it will not itself explode like a pipe bomb. 200 mm, however, sounds like a tight fit. The bigger the pipe (sorry, "chamber"), the better. Your safety is in your hands.
If you are planning a high-altitude balloon launch, a cryogenic vacuum test is the most authentic for simulating the long slow climb to launch altitude. Just chill the engine with dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) well before the test.

Somewhere in France
June 14, 1918
Dear sister and pa.
After going through a hard stiff hike and nothing to do but write and wash. I am kept continually on the go but am satisfied as long as I can get enough sleep and eats. I know you are all worrying and thinking of me at all times and praying for my safe return but I feel your prayers will not go unanswered. Of course dear sister I am in a more dangerous position than when I where in the states but you must consider that I know more now about the trench welfare and also the chances of safety. The war over hear from what I have been told from men that have been through the mill is very much safer than it were years ago.
I cannot go into details regarding where we boys are billeting or what is going on in this section but what I can say is that we are quite some distance from the front. My thoughts of home many a times makes me feel bad but I always think of the bright sides. Although I really do not know whether you are all well but I always make myself believe you all are feeling fine. My health and condition is good and am if I say it myself ready to go further into this war. Tell pa that his boy will be home before long.
Must close now with love + kisses to you all.
I am
Your loving brother

Thankful (but not for all-nighters)
I have never been one to pull all-nighters. I like to go to bed at a reasonable hour (ie. when I am tired) and get a goodnights rest. Well last night I was shit out of luck because while I wanted to sleep Edie wanted to cry, fuss, bounce, nurse, and repeat. Around 4 AM she finally decided to fall asleep while I side nursed her in our bed and since I was too exhausted and afraid that she would wake up again she slept by my side for the next two hours. Needless to say I am running on about three hours of sleep (thankfully my amazing husband took over bounce duty for a good hour while I slept) and am exhausted today.
Even though I am exhausted it's hard not to smile at our beautiful baby and be thankful for a number of things today including:
A husband who makes dinner when you are exhausted (and makes enough for leftovers). Last night Neil took over in the kitchen and made us Alicia Silverstone's Rustic Pasta from The Kind Diet. It was so delicious and he made the full recipe so today we have leftovers for lunch, which is a life saver considering he is back to working (from home–>another thing I am thankful for) and we are both running on no sleep.
I am thankful for water with electrolytes. I don't know if it really makes a difference but Neil and I both had a bottle of resource® natural spring water* last night and if nothing else we were hydrated during our all-nighter. I like to think that the electrolytes in the water were beneficial for both of us especially after all the bouncing and breastfeeding that was being done.
Lastly, today (and everyday) I am thankful for a beautiful little girl who may have her fussy nights but is otherwise a happy baby.
*resource is a 100% natural spring water with natural electrolytes for taste, sustainably sourced and packaged in a bottle made of 50% recycled plastic.* resource water is good for you and mindful of the Earth. With natural electrolytes for taste, its recycled bottle helps you keep nature in mind too. Disclaimer: resource® natural spring water provided me with these products at no cost. I was under no obligation to review them if I so chose. Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway. If you haven't stop over to our family blog, Naturally Family, then head over now and Meet The Family. This week we have been discussing our diapering plans, Neil reviewed The Other F-Word and our Doula Sarah wrote about her perspective on Edith's birth. We have also been featuring a photo of the day for our 365 days of photo project that you can check out here.

Tori Spelling has been hospitalized following complications from the recent birth of her fourth child.
"Tori underwent emergency surgery over the weekend due to complications from her c-section," a rep for the actress told Access Hollywood on Tuesday. "She remains in the hospital and is resting comfortably."

U.S. & World
Tori and husband Dean McDermott welcomed their fourth child – son Finn Davey – on August 30. It marked Tori's fourth c-section delivery, and second in the span of one year, following the birth of daughter Hattie in October 2011.
The proud parents first announced the birth of baby Finn – who weighed in at 6 lbs., 6 oz., and measured 20 inches long — in a post on Tori's blog just a few weeks ago.

"We are so excited to announce the birth of the newest member of the McDermott family," the couple wrote on Tori's blog, at the time.
Tori and Dean are also parents to son Liam, 5; daughter Stella, 4; and daughter Hattie, 11 months. Dean also has a 13-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship.

Remember the Cheetah-bot that was featured here a couple of months ago? It looked pretty scary as it galloped on the treadmill with its spindly legs moving at an astounding 18 miles per hour. It might have looked as scary as heck then (it still does now), but you can't deny it was an impressive feat that Boston Dynamics achieved with the support of DARPA.
When the Cheetah reached 18 mph during its run last March, it broke the land speed record for legged robotic machines. The Boston Dynamics team decided that that wasn't enough, so they tweaked a couple of things and now the Cheetah is faster (and scarier) than ever. Breaking the record that it had previously set, the leggy robot can achieve a peak speed of 28 mph. Yes, that's right folks, it's now even faster than the fastest man in the world, Olympian Usain Bolt, who reached 27.78 mph during a 20-meter sprint.
Check out a video of the Cheetah doing its thing after the jump. It's both scary and impressive at the same time.

Information has emerged in the Justice Department seizure of Associated Press phone records as well as the news that reporter for Fox News is now a target of a leak investigation concerning North Korea. NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.
The Justice Department's secret subpoena for AP phone records included the seizure of records for five reporters' cellphones and three home phones as well as two fax lines, a lawyer for the news organization tells NBC News.
David Schulz, the chief lawyer for the AP, said the subpoenas also covered the records for 21 phone lines in five AP office lines -- including one for a dead phone line at office in Washington that had been shut down six years ago. The phone lines at four other offices – where 100 reporters worked — were also covered by the subpoenas, Schulz said.
Although AP had given general information about the subpoenas last week, it provided new details Monday about the number of cell and home phone records as it considers possible legal action against the Justice Department.
Schultz said the subpoena for a Washington phone line that had been shut down years ago raises questions about assertions by Deputy Attorney General James Cole, in a letter last week, that the subpoenas were narrowly crafted and only issued after a "comprehensive investigation" that included over 550 interviews and reviewing tens of thousands of documents.
Cole had said in his letter to the AP that "consistent with Department policy, the supboenas were limited in both time and scope."
Schultz confirmed that the subpoenas for the phone records were secretly issued to Verizon, which turned them over to the Justice Department without any initial notice to AP. On May 10, Justice notified AP of the subpoenas in a one-sentence letter, citing department guidelines that require such notice for media phone records after 90 days.
The AP is considering filing legal action to challenge the Justice Department subpoena as overly broad and inconsistent with the department's own guidelines. On CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said the secret subpoenas were "so sweeping, so secretively, so abusively and harasssingly … overbroad, that it constitutes … an unconstitutional act."
Justice Department officials did not respond to requests for comment.

This morning I went to my AA meeting. It was the first time in months that I have actually felt anything there with my heart. A woman brought her toddler in and he gradually woke up in his stroller next to me and then got out with his striped bodysuit—onesie fuzzy PJs—jumping and calling out in baby-talk. The child showed so much enthusiasm, so much blind innocence, so much life that it moved me almost to tears. It's been years since tears flowed from my eyes, so I didn't cry. But those big blue eyes staring up at me demanded that I wake from my slumber.
As I sat there I realized that my nightmares recently have been about drinking. I may or may not be an alcoholic, and alcoholism may or may not be a disease. But for me it symbolizes the very worst part of me. That part which wants to die. After so many years sober I have no desire to drink other than as a metaphoric bullet to my temple. A Twitter page, Coke Zero, coffee ice cream, and a Cuban cigar are my vices of choice now. Booze is beyond all of that. It's a terror that wakes me up in a cold sweat whether or not I have a fever. And that bad dream stays with me all day, a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can't quite figure out nor can I shake off.
My lungs are still filled with nasty tasting fluid that saps my strength, a God-awful flu over a week old still hanging on me like bags of sand around my shoulders. I found myself lying on the family room couch with a blanket when Elena came home from lunch. I'm trying to sort out how much is a hangover from physical illness and how much is mental, emotionally, spiritual depletion.
As I lay there, the voices in my head began to inform me that I have so much further to go if I am going to take this concept of letting go, of quieting my mind. Just this much has been really uncomfortable. But it's also made me aware of how much I am a quivering mass of raw nerve endings. I put out so much energy to cover the fact that I can't feel, I don't want to feel, I don't want anyone to figure out my secret.
What came to me was Thoreau at Walden Pond. My father has been with me a lot recently as I face into this thing, this monster, I've created at my own hands. I'm brought back to first principles as I look at my boys and return, whether I like it or not, to my own boyhood in search of some kind of answer in my attempt at stillness.
My dad the English professor brought my brother and me to Walden Pond many times on journeys from our home in Amherst into Boston to go the aquarium or a museum. On one such drive down Route 2 in the dead of winter, he took our quite old white Renault wagon down the then-unpaved driveway to the edge of the pond for a picnic in a blustery snowstorm. The car got stock and my dad had to walk out to find help. The first tow truck also got stuck, so it took a second one using a wench connected to a massive oak tree by a huge metal chain to get us all out of the monastery which Henry David built.
At least that is my memory of it, which most certainly could have grown up and blossomed into something far more dramatic than it actually was in the years since the actual event.
The memory of that day with my dad and my brother, and others like it, left a lasting impression on me. Having lived my entire adult life in and around Boston, Walden Pond has always been a short drive away. And there have been periods when I went there quite frequently, notably during the period when I was getting sober, getting divorced, and first trying to put my life back together after a crisis of epic proportions.
In recent years, it's been more of a faint drumbeat in my ears. Elena, Cole and I have walked there several times a year. But I didn't read much of anything into that, other than a convenient place for an outing.
Today though, I came back to the essence of the place, which is not really about the water and rock and woods but about the man in his cabin, isolating himself from worldly things to go inward. To live deliberately. To suck the very marrow out of life.
My tendency is to want to do things that end up in an elaborate game of the cat chasing its tail. It becomes an infinite, and exhausting, loop.
Something has broken me out of that cycle—whether the flu, my stupidity online, my kids, or facing mortality—and once awareness is arrived at, it is near impossible to put the genie back in the bottle.
So as I lay in a state of semi-agony this morning, with strange wheezing sounds coming from my lungs, I concluded that I have to do even less and go inwards even more. Grasping at the walls of the cave will only cause me more pain. Free fall is the only way now. What comes, I do not know, but I have to trust that, as with Thoreau, there are great rewards to the slowing down of life and cultivation of the inner knowing which cannot be reached through the kinds of exertion that have so trapped me in my own life.

The film was always about boxing, but it's also a love story. "Stallone said he had long thought that a musical transfer for the 1976 Oscar-winning drama was a good idea, in particular if its romantic side was amped up." Given the dreadful state of boxing's heavyweight division, the Klitschkos are probably just looking for something to do. [Guardian]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — During a visit to a Los Angeles Planned Parenthood clinic, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that allows nurses to dispense birth control, making it easier for women to get contraceptives.
The Democratic governor was joined Saturday by women's health advocates who cheered the signing of AB2348.
"At a time when some seek to turn back the clock and restrict women's health choices, California is expanding access to birth control and reaffirming every woman's basic Constitutional rights," Brown said.
The bill, authored by Democratic Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles), was passed by lawmakers in August. It allows registered nurses, nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives to dispense the pill, patches and rings.
Julie Rabinovitz, head of the California Family Health Council, applauded the governor for working to expand access to contraception for women.
"With his signature, the governor also took action to address provider shortages statewide by allowing RNs to work to the full extent of their scope and training," Rabinovitz said Saturday. "This is especially important in our changing health care landscape."
Also Saturday, Brown announced the signing of a bill requiring extra warnings for the 40 percent of women over the age of 40 who have breast tissue dense enough to mask or mimic cancers on mammograms.
The bill, SB1538, also requires that a range of screening options are available.
Brown vetoed a similar bill in 2011, expressing doubts about whether the warnings were what he termed "a path to greater knowledge or unnecessary anxiety." Since then it was amended to include notice language negotiated with the governor's office and health care interest groups, according to state Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), who authored the bill.
Simitian thanked Brown "for his willingness to listen to and work with us on this issue over the past year."

But it isn't just proximity that made attending this event worthwhile for me. I got a lot out of it. First and foremost, there were the seminars: For three years now, GV Expo has not only held their own series of seminars (often with thrilling titles like "The Problems of In-Car Cameras" for law enforcement departments), but they've been a site for the Digital Media DC Conference. DMDC, organized by Future Video Concepts, offers a set of seminars on things like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, video production, business topics for freelancers, and certification tracks in Final Cut Pro and Apple Motion. You'll probably recognize some of the presenters: people like Douglas Spotted Eagle, Luisa Winters, George Avgerakis, and Richard Harrington. I was kept so busy going to DMDC seminars that I had to work hard to squeeze in a couple of visits to the show floor! Everyone in this business needs to budget some time and money towards continuing education, and seminars like these can be highly rewarding.
During the breaks between seminars, and also before and after show hours, I had the privilege of meeting several people who are "names" in our industry, as well as others who don't have such high visibility in the community, but were equally fascinating. Besides the aforementioned Spot and Luisa, I also chatted with Chris Hurd, the author of the original XL1 Watchdog Web site; Martin Hash of Hash Animation Master fame; Philip Nelson, the VP of NewTek's video division; and many others. Not only was it delightful to be able to put faces to names that were well-known from books, magazines, and online forums, but everyone I met was friendly, knowledgeable, and more than willing to share their expertise.
In between schmoozing with the pros and attending seminars, I wandered through the show floor. There were well over 250 exhibitors this year. Many of them were displaying products and services that were of little interest to us event video types, like digital signage, terabyte media storage and search engines, law enforcement video, etc. But there were also a number of products that were of significance to our industry. Here are a few that caught my eye; some of them will be reviewed in more detail here in the coming months:
In addition to the above, there was HD everywhere you looked, ranging from large-screen LCD and plasma displays to HDV camcorders. The Sony HVR-Z1U seemed to be in almost every booth. B&H had their famous "camera shootout" display, where passersby could directly compare the performance of about a dozen different camcorders. Sony had their full lineup of high-def equipment, from the tiny HVR-A1U all the way up through HDCAM. The new JVC GY-HD100U 720p camcorder was available and easy to get hands and eyes on. So was the new Canon XL H1. Unfortunately, the long-awaited Panasonic AG-HVX200 only made an appearance as a prototype unit in a glass case.
Government Video Expo might not be quite as "on target" for our segment of the video world as, say, a WEVA Expo or the upcoming 4EVER Group Video 06 Convention in Orlando, but it was an informative and exciting three-day event for this wedding and event guy. The next one is December 6-7, 2006. If you're in our nation's capital then, maybe we'll meet up and talk shop!
