The chuck wagon carries the things needed for cooking and eating, and it also caried the supplies and equipment that the wheelers weren't able to carry on their rigs. In this way the chuck wagon freed the wheelers to go have fun without the burden of carrying extra gear on their rigs. Hey Y'all... Ryan's here with The Chuck Wagon, Lets get some grub and chow down!
3. | chuck wagon | ||
An art form. The act of farting in one location and then dragging it down range with complete innocence. Similar to crop dusting which is done in an office setting.
To tow a fart along and act like you didnt do it. A Phantom farter. Damn Joe, who did the chuck wagon down the hallway?

FYI - Index Added!
This is an AAR I am playing (vers. 1.1 - (later upgraded to v 1.3 in about 1573 or so, and to NA v 2.2 in about 1637)) as the Mediterranean trading power of Milan. I actually had a fairly extensive Beta AAR (of the same name and general style) but Im not going to take time to get approval for a Beta AAR now that the real thing is here.
Im playing without a net here, by starting the AAR as soon I start my first game. Its slightly possible I may meet some tragic fate, but during the Beta phase Milan was one of my favorite countries to play, and I am confident I can forestall disaster!
Thanks, Hajji, for honoring Milan with your demo-AAR -- fun country, eh?
My King is the vaunted Galeazzo Maria Sforza, who is a gifted administrator, but isnt that great at a whole lot of other things. My concentration in this early period will be to build alliances, build my economy, and raise a defensive army one army in 3 of my provinces (1 cav & 2 inf) and a galley for my navy in Liguria.
Milan starts in May 1473 (an arbitrary start date) with good relations with most of its neighbors. Her most powerful neighbor is Venice, but fortunately theyre pretty tight diplomatically. I expect Venice to get into a fair amount of trouble, though, so Im not going to ally with her.
Other Italian powers of note include Sicily, and the Papal States. Austria and France are both uncomfortably close, and not very friendly. Switzerland is not a friend, but neither is it very powerful. Other worries include Aragon (with which we have relatively good relations) and Burgundy.
Savoy, just next door, is diplomatically friendly, and has some potential as an ally and/or annexation target. Neighboring Mantua is dinky, but I want to work toward diplo-annexation of her too. Modena would be nice, too. Fortunately, in my initial days Savoy offers an alliance, which I accept, and both Mantua and Modena accept my overtures for alliance.
The advisors at start are forgettable I start with a 2-star philosopher and a 1-star artist (+2 to prestige & +3 to stability investment). Armies are Latin Knights and Latin Medieval Infantry (stock troops, with no alternative types, yet).
I have a University at Parma, and a Center of Trade at Liguria, both of which will be very helpful as I try to expand my economy and influence. I set my tolerance sliders like a good Catholic merchant cartel should preferring our own, but not excluding those of other faiths who happen to have nice ports nearby.
I set my budget to prefer trade over anything else, and start off favoring economy over military, though that may change once I get those first levels. My income from trade is limited at the start, but will improve soon.

With more than 10 million views over youtube, Maria Aragon is slowly gaining fame. Her instant fame was attributed to her upload titled LADY GAGA – Born This Way (Cover).
Please view her video below:
As of yesterday, Maria Aragon had a one-on-one talk with her idol LADY GAGA which offered her a duet gig in on of her upcoming concerts. See the youtube video below:
'Maria Aragon', after getting a two thumbs up from the House of Gaga lead – LADY GAGA herself, this sweet little lady is now hoping to land a guesting in the ever popular THE ELLEN SHOW. Please check below, ABS-CBN News Coverage titled "Fil-Canadian kid hopes to guest on Ellen show" :
MANILA, Philippines – YouTube singing sensation Maria Aragon, who made a name on YouTube after doing a cover of Lady Gaga's controversial song "Born This Way," expressed her wish to guest on American talk show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The 10-year-old Filipino-Canadian said she also wants to showcase her talent on the popular television program.
"Well yeah, even my sister wants to be on the Ellen show. Who doesn't want to be on the Ellen show? So yeah, that's what I want to do too, I want to be on Ellen show," Aragon said in her interview with Ace Burpee of Winnipeg Radio HOT-103.
International singing sensation Charice's 2007 guesting on DeGeneres show catapulted her to stardom both here and abroad.
Aragon has been posting her covers of various songs on YouTube for almost 3 years now. Aragon is now a rising star in Winnipeg after Lady Gaga praised her cover of "Born This Way" via Twitter.
Lady Gaga said Aragon's rendition of her song made her cry. The award-winning international singer also referred to Aragon as the "future."
Lady Gaga has invited Aragon to perform a duet with her in her concert in Toronto this coming March.
Aragon, who started singing since she was a child, said she got her talent from her Filipino father, who hails from Mandaluyong. Her mother, on the other hand, hails from Ormoc.
Aragon, who was born in Canada, has yet to visit the Philippines. She hopes to come here "someday."

This is where things will really
run like clockwork for you ...
the 3000 clocks from the collection of the Wien Museum.
The Clock Museum has a collection that is unique in Europe. It is accommodated in an enchanting Viennese house in the historical city, with foundation walls dating from the Middle Ages, and situated very close to Judenplatz.
At the stroke of every full hour,
three floors re-echo with chimes, sounds and carillons from the many clocks that are kept working. They document the measurement of time and the technology of horology from the fifteenth century until the present day.
The greatest imaginable diversity
of types and models from all over the world is on show in the Clock Museum: witty and ingenious picture clocks with hidden dial-plates; richly decorated longcase commode clocks telling of the social rank of their owners; pocket watches and pendants with luxurious ornamentation as the most exquisite pieces of jewellery.
Among the highlights
of a visit to the museum is the astronomical art clock by David a Sancto Cajetano from the eighteenth century. Besides telling the time, this technical masterpiece informs on the length of the day and the orbital phases of the planets, and with sensational precision. The world-famous "Laterndl" (lantern) clocks are witnesses of the heyday of the Viennese art of clockmaking. The smallest clock is a "Zappler" (with "fidgety" front pendulum) and fits under a thimble; the heaviest example is the turret clock of St Stephen's Cathedral, of solid cast iron. Viennese Biedermeier and the Belle Èpoque are represented in a multitude of different models.
The exquisite inventory
of the Clock Museum, which was founded in 1917, goes back in its essentials to two private collections: that of the intermediate-school teacher and first director of the museum Rudolf Kaftan, and the extremely valuable collection of the writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach.
Take the time for a fascinating and kaleidoscopic walk through time and the cultural history of chronometry.

Oscars Recap
By: Mark Barger, NBC
Updated: February 23, 2009
Hollywood's biggest stars, it was a stellar night for the Hollywood romance "Slumdog Millionaire".
It was a fairy tale ending for the independent film from India
that almost didn't make it to theaters.
"Slumdog Millionaire" swept the Academy Awards, winning in almost
every category for which it was nominated.
Including best director and best picture.
"We had no stars, we had no power or muscle, we didn't have enough money really, to do what we wanted to do, but what we had was a script
That inspired mad love," said producer Christian Colson.
Sean Penn beat out comeback favorite Mickey Rourke of "The Wrestler"
to score a best actor Oscar for "milk".
Six time nominee and heavily favored Kate Winslet won the best actor
Oscar for "The Reader", beating out seasoned veteran Meryl Streep.
Penelope Cruz took the first major award of the evening, winning a
best supporting actress Oscar for "Vicki Cristina Barcelona".
And in one of the more poignant moments of the night, Heath Ledger's
family accepted the best supporting actor Oscar on his behalf for
"The Dark Knight".
"This award tonight, would have humbly validated heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here," said Ledger's father Kim Ledger.
And while there were few surprises, this year's Academy Awards will be remembered as the night Bollywood shined the brightest.

It aims to mobilize youth NGOs operating in the non-formal sector for World Heritage promotion and preservation through involvement in international voluntary work.
The project explores opportunities for a dynamic dialogue between volunteers and youth groups and heritage & education experts involved in the promotion and protection of the selected World Heritage sites. It demonstrates the merits of non-formal education as an approach to disseminate the heritage values and expertise to a large public and to young people in particular.
Each project is organized by a local youth organization or NGO. They determine the project goals and activities in collaboration with the partners (the local community, site management and local authorities and stakeholders), train work camp leaders and host international volunteers. Activities themselves are undertaken by young volunteers, aged 18 to 30 years, coming from different countries.
The youth action camps generally last between two to four weeks and accommodate between ten to thirty volunteer participants; they involve young people to undertake concrete action and to play an active role in the promotion and preservation of World Heritage.

FTDC was founded in 1991 as a pioneering institute in the area of foreign trade by a core group of economists, academicians and corporate thinkers. As the trade policies followed by different countries had shrunk the world into a global village (and increasingly so today), thereby enhancing the demand for foreign trade professionals, FTDC was appropriately the right product at the right time.
From a modest beginning, FTDC has grown manifold over the last decade and a half - it now operates two centers in Delhi and Panipat with more than 25 eminent faculty members and training over 800 students every year. The institute has conducted over 575 seminars and training programmes both in India and abroad in international business alone as well as passed the proud milestone of 20,000 students in May 2009!
This rapid development has seen it establish a reputation as an institution which offers excellence in the field of export-import training, merchandising and retail management.
FTDC's main activities include educational training programmes in Export -Import Management, Merchandising, Retail Management, Export Marketing, and Export Development through a series of structured practical oriented programmes.
Programme Outline
It offers 3 major programmes; Diploma in Export-Import Management, Diploma in Merchandising Management, and Diploma in Retail Management.
- The 4 month Diploma in Export-Import Management, a job oriented programme, intends to create managers and entrepreneurs with knowledge of export-import issues and the use of information technology to solve these. The course creates and builds new skills in the areas of international trade by integrating a sound theoretical understanding with a combination of case studies, on-the-job training and industry relevant projects.
- Diploma in Merchandising provides a highly focussed and vocationally oriented period of 6 months study. It covers a wide range of specialized knowledge and skills for students seeking a career in fashion buying, merchandising, marketing, vendor and inventory management. The programme aims at creating a resource of trained professionals to face challenges of new emerging trends in the fashion and retail industry.
- Diploma in Retail Management aims at developing trained professionals for meeting the increasing demand in the Indian retail sector. The course focuses on analyzing retail markets, understanding customer relationship management, retail store operations and retail merchandising/ buying. The 6 months programme imparts 5 months of class room training further complemented by a 1 month of corporate internship in leading retail organizations.
FTDC, as an effective trade promotion organization, provides consultancy on market development services, identifying new export opportunities, adapting products for sale abroad and promoting these goods in international markets.

I have never written a letter to the editor before, but your editorial in the Aug. 31 paper deserves a response. So here goes
Once again, the Havre Daily News has printed an editorial that has absolutely no factual data to support their opinion! In the editorial, the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce is blasted for its lack of energy in such areas as economic development and community enhancement. The editorial goes on to state that Havre has an outstanding group of citizens, but that the Chamber Board hopes to focus attention away from the negative events with their new public image campaign. So, let us put some facts into the Havre Daily News life. After all, they are a newspaper and they should report the facts.
Fact: The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is made up of those very people that the Daily News is commending. Funny, they commend the people of this community, but criticize the Chamber like it is some alien faction of the world just collecting dues from its members and doing nothing.
Fact: The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce has several committees dedicated to economic development, tourism, legislative issues, and business development just to name a few. In addition, more of these highly praised people commit hundreds of hours each year striving to accomplish the issues that the editorial so eloquently discusses.
Fact: The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and its committees are made up of volunteer members of the community and do more for this community than many paid members of the local establishment.
Fact: The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce is working on a possible downtown park, but has not worked out all the details. Doesnt the Havre Daily News get sick of all the hype that comes with a new development only to see that project fade away or, worse yet, get started and fail after sticking the local businesses with more bad debt? Wouldnt it be nice to see a project succeed before the details are released? Be patient, and good things will come to those who wait.
Fact: The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce does tons to keep dollars in the community, which multiplies over and over again. Has the Daily News forgotten Festival Days and Christmas cash already? I am sure the advertising that they sell in conjunction with some of these Chamber sponsored events has not been forgotten.
So, having said all that, I expect the author of this most uninformed editorial would like to offer an apology to the Chamber of Commerce and its hard working, dedicated committees. However, I will not hold my breath. If the Daily News really wants to know what is going on in the community, I suggest they get up in the morning and get involved, instead of printing information that just isnt so.

I often hear from people seeking advice on ways to help a friend or family member living with bipolar disorder. Though each situation is unique, my initial advice is always the same:

As many of you know, I do a lot of speaking engagements, and recently, after giving a talk on hope and mental illness, a woman in the audience raised her hand and matter-of-factly announced she was a prophet. Immediately, I was concerned for her, thinking she must be in the midst of some manic or psychotic episode. But then, as she continued to speak, I noticed that she wasn't exhibiting any of the telltale signs. Her speech was coherent and not at all pressured, and her prophecies made sense: be kind; love one another; we're all God's children--that sort of thing. So, who is to say she isn't a prophet? Not that I'm saying she is. For one, I feel like announcing you're a prophet in the middle of a lecture hall isn't behavior particularly befitting a prophet. But again, who am I to say? The thing is, I believe in lots of things that others write off as being completely ridiculous: God, angels, mystics, prophets, shamans, mediums, sensitives, aliens, etc. Still, I see no contradiction between these beliefs and the existence of serious mental illness that requires treatment. People love talking about how what constitutes faith and mysticism in one setting could easily be viewed as insanity in another. Perhaps. Nevertheless, for me, there's a clear difference between enlightenment and mania, bliss and psychosis. My spirituality doesn't hurt my family or friends, and my faith doesn't fill my head with dangerous beliefs that could seriously hurt me and the people I love (e.g. I'm invincible! I can cross streets without looking; I can fly; I can swallow razor blades.) So, it troubles me when people liken madness to mysticism. The former tortures and oppresses, while the latter soothes and elevates. Whatever the case, if believing you're a prophet--or a goat or a fish for that matter--makes you a better person and doesn't hurt anyone around you, I say go for it. Whatever works.

Greetings from thirty thousand feet. If you read my blogs or columns on even a sporadic basis, then you probably know by now that I often find myself up in the air like this and more to the point, that I hate it. The idea is lovely: up in the air, above the clouds, defying gravity. But then there's the reality. The stale air, the tiny seats, the parading past business class as "platinum" passengers pity you, the screaming children, the miserable businessmen--and that's the short list. So, why do I do it--over and over again? Because I love seeing new places, meeting new people, eating new foods and hearing new voices. At the moment, for example, I'm headed to Jordan for the first time in my life, and I'm thrilled about it. I'm excited to be training some amazing journalists from around the world at a conference sponsored by Google, the UN and the World Bank; I'm excited to be visiting some exquisite historic sites; I'm excited to ride camels and scuba dive in the Red Sea. Still, at this exact moment, I want to throw up.But you can't get to new exciting lands without some suffering, and as a rule, the more you suffer to get there, the sweeter it is when you finally arrive. To get to this beautiful place in my life--where I love what I do and manage to make a living doing it--I've had to go through hell. In my 34 years on this planet, I've nearly died three times. I've fought discrimination, hatred and bigotry. I've encountered exile, isolation and restraints. And I've been poked, prodded, cut open, and sewed back up. But today, my life is extraordinary on so many different levels, and so much of that is the result of the traumas I've endured. So, should you find yourself in the midst of a crisis today, take heart. Eventually, the turbulence will end and the nausea will abate, and when that happens, you just might find yourself in a place more beautiful than "normal" could ever be.

Shortly after graduating law school, I took a job as an estate attorney. It wasn't a particularly exciting gig, but I did learn an important lesson: the more painful it is to plan ahead, the more important it is to do so. As a species, we don't enjoy thinking about what will happen to our families after we die or vice versa. Plus, many people think "estate-planning" is something only the wealthy do or should do. It's not. Of course, to a certain extent, it's just a nice way of saying "legal tax evasion for rich people," but there's another side: pain evasion. I can't tell you how many times I've witnessed families agonize for months over something that easily could have been resolved with a five or ten minute conversation with their now deceased loved-one. But no one wants to have these conversations, so we don't...and we suffer for it later. For those of us living with mental illness, moreover, that suffering can be even worse.
One example: A mother leaves her estate to her son, and when she dies, the son happens to be manic. Instead of investing his inheritance wisely, he spends it all on drugs or strip clubs or bubble gum or any number of other lethal, degrading, and/or otherwise dumb, decadent items or activities. Had mom put his inheritance into a trust to which he would only have access were he of sound mind and judgment, then she could have saved him and his remaining family a whole lot of grief. I could present dozens of other examples here, but the message is the same: If you care for your family, plan ahead--even if it means having difficult conversations or shelling out a bit of cash for your friendly neighborhood estate lawyer. And just to be clear, I no longer practice, so this isn't me trying to drum up business.

Though I travel a lot, I'm not that great at it. I've gotten better over the years, but it still stresses me out. While I enjoy visiting different places, getting there is another story. For one, I always try to travel light, but inevitably, I fail. And I hate checking bags, so I always try to take my stuffed carry-on with me on the plane. Sometimes it works, but often, it doesn't, and I'm forced to check my bag at the gate. While I've never lost my luggage, the possibility still scares me. I know I have no reason to be nervous given it's never happened in the past, but I always am--from the moment my belongings leave my possession to the moment I spot my unmistakable leopard-print suitcase rolling down the baggage claim conveyer belt at my destination.
Perhaps worst of all, I have this annoying habit of repeatedly checking my bags for my most important belongings: meds, identification, camera, laptop, phone, Kindle. While I've never forgotten or lost any of the aforementioned items, I still find myself checking to make sure--but no matter how many times I check, it's never enough. While I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I do have an obsessive-compulsive personality (which I'm guessing you've already gathered). On a day-to-day basis, it doesn't interfere with my life, but when I'm traveling, it kicks into high gear and can be a serious pain. My solution? As much as possible, I try not to travel alone (on international flights especially), and I take a sedative on long flights. This doesn't eliminate my anxiety, but it helps. Another helpful thing, an astute point that a friend recently shared with me: "There are stores everywhere." Simple, obvious, and yet highly reassuring. And then there's my husband's version: "It's all just stuff. Anything you lose can be replaced." Trying to take this all to heart before my most recent flight from Sacramento to San Diego on Friday (with a connection in LAX, mind you), I did the unthinkable and intentionally checked my bag at the ticket counter in Sacramento...and lo and behold, it came back to me! I'm even considering trying it on the flight home as well. Perhaps there's hope for me yet.
