Her Turn
"My husband can't get enough in bed. You'd think that after nearly 15 years of marriage, Sean's libido would have cooled, but no — he still wants sex every single day. Sometimes, I'm too exhausted from working and taking care of the kids to be romantic. But the few times I've told him I'm not in the mood, he's pestered me and pouted until I gave in. Even in the middle of the night, if Sean gets the urge, he'll press himself against me or fidget until I wake up.
"It upsets me that I can't say no to my husband. But I'm also angry at his pressure tactics. Why can't Sean ever wait for me to make the first move? It's not that I don't enjoy sex — he's a caring and generous lover — but I just want to do it on my terms sometimes. I'm so angry that I don't feel emotionally connected to him anymore.
"I was 18 when I was introduced to Sean by a friend. I felt instant sparks: At 20, Sean was kind and more sophisticated than the other guys I'd dated, and we came from very similar backgrounds. I fell in love with him fast.
"Four months after we met, Sean talked me into having sex. I was a good wait-for-the-wedding-night Catholic girl who wasn't emotionally ready, but I was afraid I'd lose him if I refused. Afterward, I felt guilty and mad at Sean for being so pushy. From then on, he expected us to do it on every date. I didn't like that, either, but I never complained to him, because everything else in our relationship was going great. A year later, we got married.
"The early years were rocky, in large part because we were just so young. Sean worked long hours in his family's wholesale plumbing supply business, and I was finishing my degree, so we didn't spend much time together. Two years into our marriage, I'm ashamed to say that I had a one-night stand with a guy I met on a trip to New York. I'm the one who initiated it out of loneliness and boredom, but I felt dirty afterward.
"I immediately broke off contact with the guy, but over the next few months he sent me cards — one of which Sean found by accident. When he confronted me, I cried and promised that I'd never cheat again. Sean was so heartbroken that he threatened divorce, and I didn't blame him. However, while we were weighing our options, I became pregnant. We hadn't stopped having sex during this rough patch in our marriage — and we decided to stay together for the sake of our baby.
"Sean and I put all of our energies into raising Michael, who's now 13. As our relationship improved, we expanded our family and had three more children: Steven is 11; Joseph, 8; and Emily, 3. I loved being a stay-at-home mother, and Sean was happy to be the sole breadwinner.
"Then, before Emily was born, we suddenly fell on hard times. Sean was fired from his family's business and went to work for a pharmaceutical company, which meant taking a drastic pay cut. I got my job with the telecommunications company to bring in more money. At one point, our financial situation was so tight that the kids didn't attend birthday parties because we couldn't afford to buy gifts. The financial pressure put plenty of stress on our relationship, but it didn't do anything to slow down Sean's sex drive.
"If anything, Sean has become more sexually adventurous, always wanting to try new positions. I give in, because even after all these years, I still feel guilty about my fling and don't feel comfortable rejecting Sean. Not to mention the fact that he has a terrible temper, and I'm afraid that he'll get really mad at me if I say no. If I make so much as a parenting decision that he doesn't support, he goes ballistic. So I try to keep the peace.
"For instance, sometimes I buy the kids new clothes or shoes even though we don't have enough money in our account. I don't always tell Sean, but he finds out anyway when he balances the checkbook, and he explodes. Then after his tirades, he wants 'make-up sex'!
"Sean's demands and his anger are making me miserable. I'm putting on a brave face for the kids' sake, but I feel so empty in this marriage. I wish Sean and I could start our relationship over."
His Turn
"In all our years together, my wife has never once complained about my sex drive. In fact, Patty always seems more than willing. If she doesn't want it, why doesn't she just say 'no'? Frankly, I think she should be flattered that I still find her just as sexy and beautiful as she was the day we met. I can't help wanting to make love with her all the time.
"But I'm not surprised that Patty is concealing her feelings. She has a sneaky streak that drives me crazy. For example, she hides credit-card bills, hoping I won't find out how much she's spending on stuff for the kids and house. And she has a terrible habit of bouncing checks; in the past five years, Patty has cost us $1,000 in overdraft fees. Once, she even borrowed $500 from her sister to cover some bills, and never paid her back. When I found out, I was so appalled that I repaid the debt immediately. Patty has other annoying habits, too. She's chronically late and forgetful. She doesn't set limits with our kids, yet she refuses to enforce the ones I set.
"I love my wife — I've always been drawn to her upbeat personality and humor — but apart from our sex life, I'm not happy in this marriage, either. I'll admit that I've never completely forgiven Patty for the fling she had years ago. We haven't spoken about it since our first child was born, and I believe we were right to stay together, but it still hurts.
"It's true that I was the one who initiated sex when we were dating. But let's make this perfectly clear: I did not physically force Patty into anything. Sure, I wanted her to say yes, but if she had refused, it would have been okay with me. That goes for all the other times, too. I may come from a strong-willed family, but I'm not a monster.
"When Patty and I got married, I was a clerk at our corporate headquarters, putting in grueling 12-hour days and learning the business from the ground up so that I could move into management. I knew it wouldn't be easy, because my parents' policy was to promote the older children first. Patty was upset that I didn't spend much time at home, but I was trying to make a life for us. I told her I'd make it up to her.
"When my father passed away, my lunatic older brother Peter took over and promptly fired me because I disagreed with his management philosophies. I found a job in pharmaceutical sales, but it meant losing nearly half of my former income. It was one of the darkest periods of my life. After working my way up, I'm finally earning a decent salary again. But some of my staffers aren't pulling their weight, and it's stressful staying on top of them.
"Things are just as frustrating at home. It's bad enough that I can't trust Patty with the checkbook, but now Steven, our second son, is just as dishonest as his mother. He begged to go to an expensive ice-hockey camp, but he's been skipping sessions, and Patty has been covering for him. I screamed and hurled my cell phone across the room when I found out.
"I know I have a bad temper, and I recently started seeing a therapist to find out how to control it. His advice is helping a lot, and when he suggested Patty and I go to marriage counseling, I was all for it. Maybe we can figure out what's gone so wrong in our marriage and set things right."
The Counselor's Turn
"Power struggles are very common in marriages. Sean and Patty's problem may have appeared to be purely sexual, but in fact, they were locked in a battle between his aggressive personality and her passive-aggressive one.
"Sean was direct about what he wanted from Patty — and insistent on getting it. She accommodated him, but unconsciously got her revenge by having a one-night stand, bouncing checks and being chronically late. It was a vicious circle: The more demanding Sean became, the more Patty quietly fought back. Still, I believed they could work it out if they each accepted their own part in their problems and changed their negative behavior.
"First, the couple had to come to grips with their sexual past: Sean's eagerness to have sex too early, as well as Patty's infidelity. If they didn't find closure or see how one problem had led to the other, their lingering bitterness and resentment would keep undermining their relationship.
"I encouraged Sean to acknowledge that he pressured Patty for sex when they were first dating. He apologized and said, 'Until now, it never occurred to me that I might have contributed to your acting in a passive-aggressive way and your infidelity.' In turn, Patty had to realize that by not speaking up for what she wanted, she had allowed Sean to take advantage of her. 'You were victimized,' I said. 'But your lack of assertiveness created the very situation that you hate.'
"Next, we explored how the couple's families had shaped their personalities. The son of highly successful and controlling parents, Sean grew up feeling that he had to live up to their expectations and follow the career path they had chosen for him. To compensate for his frustration at work, he developed his bullying and aggressive personality at home, and he didn't realize he was being too demanding about sex because he was used to getting his way. Realizing this, Sean felt ashamed and vowed that he would try to be more sensitive to his wife's feelings.
"Patty was submissive like her father, but, like her mother, she developed devious ways of getting even with her husband when she felt overpowered by him. Initially, Patty rejected my suggestion that she was passive-aggressive, but once she accepted this, she realized how wrong she had been to use their family finances as a weapon. Once she determined to have sex on her own terms, she would no longer need to take out her anger by mismanaging money. 'You complain that Sean treats you like a sex object, but you've allowed yourself to be treated that way,' I said.
"Sean also needed to curb his temper and improve his communication skills. Instead of resenting Patty for all the bounced checks, I recommended that he say something like, 'Money is going to be tight this month. If you can't pay a bill, tell me, and we'll figure something out together.'
"Because the couple's power struggle extended to their parenting, I stressed the importance of presenting a united front to their children. It was essential that they agree on discipline methods and really stick to them. Patty began by acknowledging that she should not have let their son get away with skipping hockey camp. To solve the problem, I suggested to Sean, 'Explain to Steven that lessons are quite expensive and that you expect him to attend. Tell him that for every day he cuts camp, he'll owe you $20.' Sean used those very words -- and Steven never played hooky again.
"As Sean gradually toned down his temper, Patty became more comfortable speaking her mind. After a few months, she was able to report, 'I don't say yes to sex unless I'm really in the mood. Now, we make love a few times a week — and I'm often the one who initiates it!' Another good sign — Patty has stopped bouncing checks. Sean even suggested that she pay her own credit-card bill for groceries and drugstore items. 'I still pay the mortgage and the other bills,' he said, 'but the new system has forced me to give up some control, which has been good for me."'
"Finally, Patty and Sean needed to fall in love again. Marrying young and starting a family right away hadn't given them much time for romancing. 'Go out on regular dates,' I advised them. 'That way, you'll find out whether you still enjoy each other's company.' Now, Patty and Sean go out twice a month, which has helped them reconnect emotionally.
"Patty and Sean were ready to end counseling after two years, though I still see Sean individually to help him deal with work-related conflicts. Both have made tremendous progress, and their marriage is stronger than ever. Next year, they're planning to take a Caribbean cruise to celebrate their 15th anniversary. 'I love the changes in Sean, and I like myself a lot better now that I'm standing up for what I want,' Patty said. 'I'm excited about our future, because I know we're on the right track.'"

Netgear ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Firewall with USB Print Server
Page 1 of 2
Model: FWG114P
Price: $276 (MSRP)
Pros: Includes USB print server AND modem backup
Cons: Relatively expensive
Even among the best WLAN routers out there, there are always features missing that would be useful. Perhaps that isn't the case any longer. The new Netgear ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Firewall with USB Print Server (FWG114P), may be the first WLAN router that has essentially every feature one could possibly want or need in a broadband wireless router.
Unique Features
Two things typically missing were support for broadband failover via dial-up modem and/or an internal USB print server. Happily, this $276 unit (it can be had for about $200 online) provides both.
The latter feature has been particularly slow in coming. Routers with parallel print servers are somewhat common, but let's face it--what home, home office, or even small business is still using a parallel printer? (Please, no letters if you are. It's time to upgrade.)
After successfully setting up the printer to use on the FWG114P, I was quite happy to discover that the Epson bi-directional printer status software popped up during print jobs. However, most of the information it's designed to provide -- ink levels, for instance -- was grayed out or otherwise unavailable.
This is an unfortunate and unavoidable side-effect of sharing a bi-directional printer via a network print server, as printer status information is no longer correctly passed back to the device.
In most cases, this will also affect your ability to conduct printer maintenance via the utility software--most tasks will need to be performed via the printer's physical control panel. This is inconvenient to be sure, but the ability to share your printer independent of a PC makes up for the sacrifice.
Sadly, the FWG114P sticks with the archaic 9-pin serial port to accept a modem connection. One could make the argument that this port, too, should have ceded to USB, given the ubiquity of inexpensive USB modems.
However, I'll cut Netgear a bit of slack on this point, since serial modems are still quite common (whereas trying to find a parallel-based printer, especially in the under-$500 SOHO laser and inkjet segment, is often an exercise in futility). Beyond that, the serial port is more likely to be compatible with ISDN hardware as well.
The failover feature will cause the router to initiate a dial-up connection of your choice after a defined period. It worked fine in my test, promptly connecting to my Earthlink account after pulling the plug on the cable modem link. I only wish there was an option to send an immediate alert upon broadband failure.
In addition to providing failover capability, you can also configure the FWG114P/modem combo to provide dial-in access to users, as well as LAN-to-LAN connectivity.
The FWG114P provides a feature few routers have: a handy diagnostics page that lets you view the routing table as well as initiate pings and DNS lookups. Certainly most of this can be done from a PC's command prompt, but doing so from within the router can save some time when trying to isolate connection problems.

The Clarendon Way A 24 mile walk joining the two Wessex cities of Winchester and Salisbury, a perfect weekend walk. In contrast to the Test Way (which runs from the hills overlooking Berkshire, down the Test Valley to the coast), the Clarendon Way crosses the Test Valley between Kings Somborne and Houghton. It starts beside the waters of the Itchen in the heart of Winchester and ends near the Avon at Salisbury Cathedral. It provides a splendid variety of scenery along the way, ranging from the water meadows of the valleys with their charming villages through woodland - ancient as well as modern - to downlands with far-ranging views. The Clarendon Way is named from Clarendon Park on the eastern edge of Salisbury. The Park contains the site of Clarendon Palace, a royal hunting lodge for Norman Kings, but later expanded by the Plantagenets into a great county house. Almost nothing remains now, only a few feet of flint wall lying a few yards from the Clarendon Way.At Winchester one sees smaller remains which are even older, a few stones beside the River Itchen which are all that survive from the Roman wall built around the City in the 3rd Century. A mile down the valley lies the hospice of St Cross where even 400 years ago the choir boys carved their names on the stalls in the chapel. From the Itchen Valley the route climbs to Olivers Battery, a hill from which the Roundheads bombarded Winchester in the Civil War, then on to Farley Mount, an extensive informal Country Park managed by Hampshire County Council. It goes on through Parnholt Wood, via Kings Somborne to the Test Valley and Houghton, then across open farmland to the valley of the Wallop Brook and the village of Broughton, a convenient half-way point. West from Broughton the route follows a Roman road through Buckholt to Winterslow, crosses the hills with fine views to the village of Pitton, then passes through the woods of Pitton, then passes through the woods of Clarendon Park. Emerging from the woods the spire of Salisbury Cathedral beckons from the Avon Valley two miles ahead. The Clarendon Way RouteSalisbury to Clarendon Palace (3 miles)The Way leaves Salisbury via Milford Street to Milford Road and Queen Manor Road. Through Rangers Farm, it bears right across a field and up to King Manor Hill where it enters the woods near the remains of Clarendon Palace. Clarendon Palace to Broughton (8 miles)Beyond the edge of the wood a left fork takes the walker to Four Cottages, then behind the houses it crosses the fields to the village of Pitton, emerging by the school. It takes the walker over the hills to emerge by the church at West Winterslow then on to Middle Winterslow and along the Roman road to Buckholt. A well-defined track leads direct to Broughton. Broughton to Olivers Battery, Winchester (9½ miles)The way lies along Rectory Lane then takes a path along the back of the village to join a track leading to Houghton. A short length of road leads to a footpath which crosses the River Test by a footbridge and shortly also crosses the Test Way. After passing through Kings Somborne the Way turns south-east across farmland to Parnholt Woods. There follows the stretch through Farley Mount Country Park then on minor roads to the outskirts of Winchester at Olivers Battery. Oliver's Battery to Winchester City Centre (3½ miles)After passing through the housing estate at Olivers Battery, walkers cross a main road on a footbridge and descend via an old track, Whiteshute Lane to St Cross. They then follow the network of streams along the Itchen Valley, past the Winchester College playing fields to the City centre.

Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White
White rooms: a little bit minimalist, a little bit magical
Slide 1 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White
White . . . minimalist, magical, or a little of both? The question remains if white qualifies as a real color or not. Some designers wouldn't think of creating a room sans pigment-laden appointments. Others use it as a foolproof mechanism for sophistication. In bedrooms, white and variations of it lead the way to a restful snooze. Dining rooms with white as their palettes sing in refinement and class. Teamed with black, and high-glass elements, the color reads glamorous and seductive. Warm white offers comfort. Feast your eyes on these colorless treats from showhouses across the country.
Slide 2 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [3]
Boston Junior League Showhouse
The room's focal point is the bed, imposing in its mass yet inviting because of the delicacy and warmth of the paint and intricate carving. The charm that the designer creates for this space lies in the finer points. For instance, a striking swath of ivory-and black grosgrain ribbon found in a posh London shop is used on the bed coverings and draperies.
Slide 3 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [6]
In soft impressionistic strokes, the painting above a settee and two chairs in the room's gathering area introduce the only note of color--a delicate lilac--in an otherwise tightly composed symphony of ivory and gray.
Slide 4 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [9]
Cape Cod Showhouse
Against the room's crisp white background, furnishings in rich, dark woods--including a custom turned-post bed, the room's centerpiece, and a woven sea-grass chaise lounge--make a graphic statement.

San Francisco Showcase House
The palette of soft creams and whites highlights the room's breathtaking view of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Female fantasy describes this connoisseur's collection of alluring shoes straight out of Sex and the City.
Slide 10 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [27]
National Symphony Orchestra Showhouse
The modern walnut Parsons table, a trio of sleek steel pendant lights, and a pared-down tablescape are blended with grand wing chairs. "Balancing old things with new things gives a room great energy," says designer Michael Roberson.
Slide 11 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [30]
Classic moldings set a traditional architectural tone, but the artwork has contemporary flair.
Slide 12 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [33]
Boston Junior League Showhouse
Designer Dennis Duffy blanketed this dining room in a warmed-up oyster white with layers of varying tones and textures that produce contemporary elegance and a respectful update to centuries-old architecture.
Slide 13 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [36]
Polished clamshells randomly scattered across the runner echo the luster of the walls.
Slide 14 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [39]
Mansions and Millionaires
The large sunroom, with its dark wood trim, begged for clean lines and crisp, light elements to keep it from being stodgy and seriously gloomy.
Slide 15 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [42]
A shapely "Zeus" chair adds a touch of whimsy in this sunroom. Designer Beverly Balk contrasted the ornate details of the architectural gem with a fresh, stylish approach unaffected by period constraints.
Slide 16 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [45]
Lake Forest Showcase House
This gentleman's room commands attention with its two-tone palette and tailored canopy that envelops the beds.
Slide 17 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [48]
No-fuss bolster pillows in a mod fabric and Greek key borders on bedspread and hangings keep the bed linens simple.
Slide 18 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [51]
A total of 50 black-and-white photographs of early-Hollywood stars hang around the room in tight grids. On fine oils and charcoals, the artists' signatures may be recognizable only to art connoisseurs, but the names signed on the original photos in this room in the Lake Forest Showcase House are well-known--Bogart, Bergman, Gable, and Garbo.
Slide 19 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [54]
San Francisco Showcase House
The deep color of the walls is in dramatic contrast to furnishings that take their delicate palette from washed-on-the-beach coral and seashell.
Slide 20 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [57]
Little Rock Showhouse
To create interest in a white scheme, Trading Spaces alum and Little Rock native Laura Day introduced a variety of contrasting textures into this striking black-and-white living room beauty.
Slide 21 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [60]
This room was grand, with a heavy fireplace and travertine marble floors," says Day. "My goal was to tone it down, keeping the grand qualities but making them fresher." A billowy, ivory-colored sheepskin rug grounds the furniture arrangements. Its softness is contrasted against the sharp angles of a high gloss Lucite cocktail table.
Slide 22 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [63]
Inspired by vintage designs, designer Laura Day finished sleek custom consoles and mirrors in glossy white to flank each side of the fireplace.
Slide 23 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [66]
Atlanta Symphony Showhouse
Making linen drapery panels the same color as the walls avoids detracting from the architecture of this living room.
Slide 24 Of Showhouse Rooms Bathed in White [69]
"Placement of art is important," says designer Bob Brown. "Art can't be enjoyed if it's not seen clearly."

Twin Chefs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Twin Chefs
Lilly and Audrey are identical twins with a passion for food.
In the kids words:
"We have loved everything food and entertaining since we were toddlers. We get excited trying new and unusual foods, food TV, and especially making our own foods. Brain storming recipes, finding ways to make it fun and look beautiful are a couple of our favorites. With the help of our Mom, Dad, and others who inspire us we have been doing this our whole life."
Visit http://www.twinchefs.net to see more...
Kids and parents of kids.
Logo should match the colors of the website:
Brown: 663c16
Blue: 9fcdee
Orange: f3dcb3
Pink: fbdddf
You don't need to use these colors, but the colors you use must compliment these colors. You can see them in use on our website http://www.twinchefs.net
If you feel changing a color slightly will work better, that is okay.
However, making a logo that is red, green and purple probably wont make sense.
The logo will be used on the website, clothing, and mugs.
The only text on the logo should be the words "Twin Chefs"
I've included pictures for you to get an idea of what they look like and the theme.

High atop the mesa and deep within the Jemez forest, lies a special place full of historical logging villages and pueblo ruins. This area sees little motorized traffic aside from the occasional 4-wheeler or dirt bike passing through.
Even those who pass through fail to notice the hundreds of cultural sites along the way. These sites are often completely camouflaged by natural foliage or rocks, only noticeable to those with a trained eye.
Within just a few miles of mesa, adventurers can see a historical logging village, a large pueblo ruin, hundreds of lesser pueblo ruins, and rock art from multiple periods of time. Those who desire to find these places will find their way with a little research.
Please note, those who choose to visit cultural sites should enjoy them through photos and memories. Do not remove, destroy or deface cultural items at any archaeological site. It is quite common to find old trucks full of bullet holes and logs from nearby historical cabins lying charred in a campfire. Visitor should leave these places as they were found — if not better.
Pueblo Mesa Dwellers
Nearly every mesa surrounding Jemez Springs contains a large pueblo ruin. Most of the larger ruins date back as far as 1200 A.D., with some of the isolated field houses dating back even further to when the area was only occupied seasonally for hunting and farming.
Seasonal farmers lived in these houses each summer, harvesting crops and hunting meat to prepare their families for the cold winter months. They would then take their rations with them to the larger pueblos in more temperate areas and live with their families in the villages during the colder months.
The ruins of these field houses are now merely mounds of rocks, noticeably out of place among the forest floor. Some will even have visible walls or corners complete with 800-year-old mortar between the adobe bricks. Closer inspection will normally reveal some sort of pottery shards or rock flakes to truly reveal the place's identity.
The Spanish began to colonize nearby Jemez Springs in the early 1500s, eventually building what is now Jemez National Monument. The Spanish Frays would often travel to these surrounding mesa-top villages to gather the native people down in the canyon, where they would remain under the watchful eye of the church. There, these people were forced into slave labor to build the large church that remains today.
The Jemez people were not so easily subdued by the Spanish, rebelling often and retreating to nearby mesas to prepare for their next move. Some of these sites may have acted as refugee villages for people fleeing the Spanish oppression.
One such site exists upon this mesa, and is probably one of the largest sites in this area. Some newer room blocks on the north side indicate that these probably housed some of the refugees, maybe even some fleeing from neighboring pueblo ally villages.
According to research papers from people like Edgar Hewitt and even Adolph Bandelier, Spanish eyes may have viewed this site. Its defensive location is disguised by expansive forests and exists on top of a steep mesa that appears not to exist from any major road. Furthermore, there is no archaeological evidence that indicates Spanish visitation at this particular ruin. On many other ruins, there is much archaeological evidence of the Spanish invasion.
It is clear that people existed here over a long period of time. This ruin contains dozens of small kivas, a great kiva and pottery shards spanning hundreds of years. Some of the newer rooms still have their vigas intact and appear to have had multiple stories.
This is the only Jemez ruin that was reportedly never discovered by Spaniards during the conquest or reconquest periods. There is even some evidence to support that this ruin may have been occupied after the Pueblo Revolt period; when many of the old villages were abandoned in favor of more defensive locations. This ruin retained its defensive location successfully in times of need.
High Mesa Logging
Logging operations were in full swing in the Jemez during the 1930s with logging villages springing up across Jemez country to house the hundreds of employees and their families. Many of these villages have been destroyed in various forest fires throughout the years, but a few remain and provide a rare glimpse into the history of this area.
One such camp still contains around 22 structures including residential cabins, outhouses, barns and garages. The village is now hidden among the pines and aspens, and tucked away on a remote dirt road in the wilderness. Some of it was destroyed in recent forest fires.
This particular camp existed between 1931 and 1936. The foreman of this camp is also associated with several other camps located in nearby mesas and canyons. His family lived in the camp and his two older sons also worked in the operation.
Some of the cabins still have floorboards, remains of built-in tables and shelves and intact door and window frames. Trash heaps reveal their eating and drinking habits, sprinkled with the occasional painted porcelain shard to remind visitors that both women and children also lived at this camp. The remains of both a woman and child's shoe here are a further reminder.
One garbage heap reveals an ax head, an old wood stove, various car parts and springs, cans, old tires and more table porcelain — real proof that one man's garbage is another man's treasure. These dumps can provide immense detail and information into the lives of the families and workers who lived here nearly 80 years ago.
Logging operations were conducted near Jemez Springs from the early 1920s through 1941, when a flood caused enough devastation that the company could no longer monetarily justify the repairs. The operation was conducted mostly by train on tracks that eventually led to a lumberyard near Albuquerque. After the flood, these tracks were removed and supposedly donated to the war efforts.
A watchful eye can spot many hidden treasures within the Jemez Mountains. A now quiet, desolate and overgrown forest can contain great historical and pre-historical wonders; evidence that humans have relied on this area for recreation, sustenance and profit for hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years.

Morris also added 21 points and 10 rebounds as the Celtics took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game Two is in Boston on Tuesday.
The highly-anticipated Western Conference finals tips off tonight. The Rockets and Warriors square off in Houston for Game One. Golden State is trying to reach the NBA Finals for a fourth consecutive year.

For over 200 years, from the 1700s through the 1900s, the Fresh Meadows area was known as "Black Stump", allegedly because its various large farms were separated for identification purposes by rows of black stumps. In Colonial times only two roads crossed the area: Black Stump Road which is now 73rd Avenue, and Fresh Meadows Lane which was named for the fresh water meadows through which it ran. At the juncture of the two roads was the heart of "Black Stump". The British Army of occupation as well as Benedict Arnold walked these roads and were housed on the farms during the American Revolution. Colonial references to the area are few; however it is known that there was a tavern named Ryerson's Inn, located roughly on the south-west corner of 74th Avenue and Utopia Parkway. In November of 1933, the colonial building that had been Ryerson's Inn was demolished by its current owners: the Klein Family.
Dating back to the 1800s, the Black Stump School, old District #4 of Flushing Town, was located in the area which is now a small park at Utopia Parkway and 73rd Avenue. The Black Stump School was a one-room wood frame country schoolhouse, but it educated many children in the area. During the winter only 10-15 attended, but summer enrollment reached as many as 50 children. After the school was abandoned it became the headquarters of Black Stump Hook, Ladder and Bucket Co. #1 which fought farm fires in the area until 1913.
Throughout the 19th century, 75th Avenue was the only east-west road running between Utopia Parkway and Parsons Blvd. It was known by two names: "Quarrelsome Lane" and "Hellfire Lane". Unfortunately the origins of these names have since been forgotten.
About 1923, a Brooklyn sportsman, Benjamin C. Ribman, opened the Fresh Meadows Country Club. The 141-acre country club hosted US Golf Opens and operated until 1946 when it was sold to The New York Life Insurance Company. The company created the Fresh Meadows Housing Development, a post World War II project and model community to for returning WWII soldiers and their families. The development consisted of row houses and high-rise buildings, a shopping center, a theater, a public library and schools. Opened in 1949, the Fresh Meadows Housing Development was at the time hailed by community planner Lewis Mumford as "perhaps the most positive and exhilarating example of large-scale community planning in the country".
The Fresh Meadows Housing Development still stands and most of the area has been designated a Special Planned Community Preservation District by New York City. This designation protects the unique character of well-planned communities. These communities characteristically have large landscaped open spaces and a superior relationship of buildings, open spaces, commercial uses, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
In November, 2003, Fresh Meadows lost its final link to its early farmland history. The Klein Farm, dating back to 1895 and the last of the working farms in the Fresh Meadows area, was sold to real estate developers. It had been one of the remaining four farms left in New York City, three of which are still located in Queens.

On November 1st 1949 the first Fresh Meadows Library opened to the public. Its storefront quarters were provided by The New York Life Insurance Company within the Fresh Meadows Housing Development.
On September 23rd, 1958 the first Queens Borough Library built by the Fresh Meadows Housing Development was opened for service.
In August of 1997, the library was relocated to a temporary store front area while the library underwent a 600 sq. ft expansion as well as interior renovations.
In May of 1998 the temporary library space was closed and the materials were relocated to the new Fresh Meadows library.
On May 3rd 2000, the formal reopening ceremony was held at the newly renovated and expanded building. Among the scheduled speakers were Borough President Claire Schulman, City Councilman Sheldon S. Leffler, Library Director Gary E. Strong, and Queens Library Board of Trustees President Patricia Flynn.

ForumsNewsFirefox Add-on Updated
Firefox Add-on Updated
Toodledo Founder
Our Firefox Add-on has been updated. It now supports adding tasks with notes, status, start-date and advanced repeating values. Additionally, it has a popup date and time picker for start-date and due-date. This new version of the add-on was built especially for Firefox 3.0 and is not backwards compatible, so if you are not yet ready to switch completely to Firefox 3.0, you should hold off on installing this update.
Please give me back the old toodledo firefox add-on.
In the old add-on, my fingers never had to leave the keyboard. Most of my tasks are "tomorrow", "next week", or "Monday", "Tuesday" and so on. My due times are normally "3pm" or "8am".
With the old add-on, I could enter a task very quickly. With the new add-on, I have to use the mouse and I have to figure out the exact date of next "Tuesday" and so on. The new add-on really slows me down.
So, please give me back my old add-on. The old add-on is great. Also, I am using Firefox 3 and I will keep using Firefox 3.
Thanks for all the nice work you have done on Toodledo. I love it.
Toodledo Founder
The old addon is still available at this URL, but it is not compatibly with Firefox 3.
We will try to make the date function better in a future update.
Posted: Jun 16, 2008
It would be great if the auto-update extensions feature with FF3 worked properly... it said the Toodledo add-on wasn't available for FF3, and I was getting very concerned. Glad to hear it has been updated -- maybe you can get Mozilla to indicate this when searching for extension updates and compatibility!
Toodledo Founder
We submitted our updated addon to Mozilla over 2 months ago, but they have not yet reviewed it and logged it into their system. I guess they are busy. Our website will always be up to date.
Once the final version of FF is release this week, we'll make sure that updates go smoothly.
Posted: Jun 17, 2008
Just released today. I'm running it now.

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to go back to FF2 so I have to deal with the FF3 addon. Nevertheless, whatever you can do to move the FF2 addon into FF3 is great. The earlier the better. I have basically quit using the FF3 addon because it is simply not usable for me.
Anyway, in the big picture of things, this is a small thing. You are doing a fabulous job with toodledo so keep it up.
Suggestion for the Firefox Add-on (perhaps other slim versions also):
I think we need a navigation control for navigating up one level from the current view. Perhaps more implementation of the breadcrums available on some views.
E.g. I view a task in a folder and want to look at other tasks in the same folder. How do I get back to the folder list (i.e. up one level)? Also, if I add a sub-task to an existing task, how do I get back to the parent task so I can add another sub-task?
When navigating Contexts or Folders you give breadcrums at the top to go back, but not in the examples I cited. If I click the Toodledo icon I go to the start, if I click refresh I get to my default view.
ThanX for considering.
(p.s. looking forward to a better date picker too.)

The world becomes real when you stop judging by appearances
The world becomes real when you stop judging by appearances
What made you click on the link to this page? What bell rang in your mind when you saw the phrase 'stop judging by appearances'? Did you get a sudden sense of how unfair it is, how bad you feel, when other people jump to conclusions about you? Or did you feel a twinge of recognition, a sense that you've been doing some jumping to conclusions yourself, perhaps getting the wrong end of the stick about others?
Judging by appearances comes naturally
It's not so odd that we all tend to go by appearances. Just think about the evolution of humankind, and the sorts of challenges that faced our distant ancestors. It's easy to see that those who could make instant decisions, (and act on them!), would have a better chance of survival. And that means that we, their descendants, have this instant judgment capacity almost genetically programmed into us.
Why judging by appearances is no longer so useful
But the circumstances in which we are judging appearances now are very different from those faced by our early ancestors. Although no one can possibly claim that human beings have everything under control (we wish!), in general it is true to say that our lives are significantly more stable and predictable, and less likely to be threatened by sudden dangers. The trouble is, nobody has passed this information on to our genes yet.
The consequences of relying on instant assumptions
The consequence of this is that our evolutionarily useful tactic of judging things by appearance is still in operation in a world where it would be more useful to be highly skilled at looking beyond appearance. The negative consequences are clear. We misread people and situations. We jump to conclusions - and they are wrong. This leads us to make unwise and even harmful choices, which we may later bitterly regret.
The effects of celebrity culture and the instant society
And things are even worse than that. Through an accident of history, we live in an age where the superficial appearance of things is actually idolized. We are positively encouraged to focus only on 'looks' - just think of the celebrity culture that swamps us. On top of that, we live in an age where technological advance has made us expect instant results for everything - so instant judgments fit right in.
This means that, even when you have woken up to the serious pitfalls of judging by appearances, it's not an easy task to change the deeply embedded pattern of making assumptions based on appearances.
Why doing as you would be done by is not so simple
You may have experienced discrimination due to other people's judgment of you, based entirely on how you looked, or on the superficial characteristics of the situation in which you encountered them. You may feel that you were never really given a chance, but just got immediately pigeon-holed by their prejudices. Sadly, such experiences, by themselves, don't prevent you from making the same mistake with others.
The good news is that instinctual behaviors, such as snap judgments, even when genetically based, can be effectively reprogrammed with more constructive behaviors.
How you can reprogram an instinctive behavior with hypnosis
The trick is to tap into our natural behavior-programming capacity - the dreaming brain. We now know that instinctual behavior patterns are not 'ready-made' in us. Instead, we are born with a set of genetic 'templates', which become activated when we dream, or when we encounter certain triggering experiences.
Stop judging by appearances is an audio hypnosis session which makes practical use of this knowledge. Hypnosis allows you to switch your brain into 'dreaming' mode while you are awake - and thus to control the programming which takes place.
Listening to Stop judging by appearances you will learn how to relax very deeply, just like you do when you go to sleep - and then dream. But instead of a random dream experience, you will enjoy a highly focused waking trance designed to help you adopt a naturally more objective approach to assessment. This will make it much easier for you to withhold your judgment on people and things until you are really ready.

PolitiCo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 290 designs submitted by 77 freelance designers.
We need a logo. The company advises companies and investors on the implications of political decisions and developments.
PolitiCo Advisory Group
We work with a global network of poltical experts to give tailored advise to companies and investors on how they are affected by politics. The academic expertise should be reflected in the logo. nobelprize.org, ox.ac.uk, oxan.com are webpages that embody this image.
We distinguish ourself from the competition by working closer to the business that we advise and by communicating in a way that is suitable for corporate managers. This corporate image should also be reflected in the logo. Management consultants like McKinsey and Booz & Company are companies of this image.
As a by-line to the name PolitiCo Advisory Group, we use "Your P2B partner". P2B means Politics to Business and embodies the idea that businesses' success today more than ever is contingent on their ability to predict, adapt, and react to political development. The winning contribution would include a suggestion for how the by-line can be used in relation to the logo, e.g. as a part of the logo or as a text below the logo.
For reference, the large investment banks are also worth a visit, as is the Eurasia group which is in the same business as we are.
- The design should be suitable for web and print
- Color schemes are welcome to be included in the logo (if suitable) as we do not have a color scheme yet
- Academic, conservative and corporate
- dotcom feel
- dead feel

Could the New York Mets have a potential problem with Matt Harvey?
There are already signs of him being high maintenance … signs he enjoys the trappings of New York too much … signs he doesn't handle injuries well … signs of being too sensitive … signs he knows he's good and isn't afraid to let you know.
Harvey has never pitched a complete season and is 12-10 lifetime. While we're not talking about the second coming of Tom Seaver, Harvey seems to be carrying himself with a sense of entitlement and a "you can't touch me'' aura.
The latest is his reported reluctance to want to undergo his rehab in Port St. Lucie, which the Mets prefer, and desire to work out in New York.
After Harvey threw for the first time Saturday, general manager Sandy Alderson backed off saying where the 24-year-old 2010 will rehab, but made clear his preference.
"As a general rule, our players rehab in Florida,'' Alderson said Saturday. "But that's not a decision we're going to make or mandate [now]. When we get to the end of spring training we'll see where he is, and I'm sure there will be discussion between now and then.''
For somebody with 36 career starts, why should there even be discussion? If Port St. Lucie was good enough for David Wright and Pedro Martinez to rehab, it should be good enough for Harvey.
In fairness, we haven't heard Harvey's reasoning for his preference of New York, which leads to speculation, with little of it showing him in a good light.
Making this more touchy is this could go before the Players Association, as the collective bargaining agreement mandates a player can refuse his rehab in a spring training locale during the season for longer than 20 days.
"The CBA imposes limitations. Yeah,'' Alderson said. "But in the past, for the most part, our players have been here and it's been a good situation.''
We know New York is Harvey's home, has superior Italian food and a better nightlife than Port St. Lucie.
But, what's the purpose here?
New York's nightlife makes one wonder, as Harvey clearly enjoys the perks of being a star – even though that might be a premature characterization of his professional status. Harvey likes the clubs and openly spoke about his drinking in a Men's Journal magazine piece.
"I'm young, I'm single,'' he was quoted as saying. "I want to be in the mix. … I have a 48-hour rule. No drinking two days before a start. But, those other days? Yes, I'm gonna go out.''
The bottom line: If you're 24 and a high-profile figure, you shouldn't need a rule about drinking. If he finds it necessary to have a rule, he shouldn't be drinking in the first place.
Everybody these days has a phone with a camera. Harvey has already been caught several times in incidents of public displays of affection with his former supermodel girlfriend, Anne V. at Rangers and Knicks games, where he is gifted the tickets. More trappings.
He's now seeing another model, Ashley Haas, which has his comments of wanting to be like Derek Jeter resurface. Of course, It is doubtful Jeter would have ever posed nude.
"That guy is the model,'' he said. "I mean, first off, let's just look at the women he's dated. Obviously, he goes out – he's meeting these girls somewhere – but you never hear about it. That's where I want to be.''
New York's nightlife has burned out dozens of athletes. Look what it did for Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry. Imagine what Mickey Mantle would have been able to accomplish with a little less drinking and womanizing.
And, as for Jeter, he's not the Teflon he's made out to be. Stories of sending his conquests home with a gift basket of memorabilia and forcing house guests to surrender their cell phones don't portray him in a flattering light. Mom must be so proud.
Shortly after the magazine piece came out, Harvey complained about being misquoted and taken out of context. A reporter for a magazine profile records everything, so it is doubtful the quotes were manufactured. Backing off his comments shows a lack of accountability.
Harvey also got into it with WFAN talk-show host Joe Beningo, ripping him on Twitter and then deleting the post.
When it comes to fighting with a radio personality or the media in general, it is futile as it comes off as petty and unprofessional, plus, he'll never have the last word.
The media isn't as easy to bully as was former teammate Jon Rauch, whom Harvey forced out of town after challenging the former Mets reliever to a fight because he didn't appreciate the rookie hazing, which included getting doused with water while sleeping on the trainer's table.
If Harvey had a problem he could have confronted Rauch in private rather than making for a very uncomfortable clubhouse scene. That's something somebody with a professional grasp on things would have done. Instead, he came off as behaving like Jordany Valdespin.
That's not the only thing Harvey hasn't handled well. Twice he wasn't immediately forthcoming in disclosing injuries to the training staff, and arguably it led to his elbow surgery.
I want the best for Harvey. I want him to have a long and brilliant career. However, he has a long way to go, on and off the field. He hasn't always shown good judgment and a case can be made it cost him this season.
He needs to reign himself in off the field, and that includes not making a big deal about where he rehabs. If reflects poorly on him and makes one wonder if this isn't about carousing the bars with Haas and watching the Rangers.
If he maintains this course, instead of a franchise pitcher, he could end being a high maintenance super nova.

Commissioners voted unanimously, 4-0,to reject it. The action came at Friday's regular mid-month meeting of the court.
At issue was a five percent pay increase for UCAD employees, which is built into the proposed budget.
UCAD sets appraised values on taxable real property in the county. It is funded by the county, cities, schools and other taxing entities within the county who use its services.
Pct. 2 Comm. Cole Hefner led commissioners in opposing the raise. He said that the Appraisal District employees had received raises in three of the last four years—2009, 2010 and 2011, but that it's been six years since county employees got a raise.
UCAD's proposed budget is $790,800. It has 11 on staff.
Chief Appraiser Sarah Curtis said that raises are based on performance reviews or when a staffer receives a higher certification.
Hefner said that commissioners "should veto their budget," because of the county's current financial problems—the court just had to make emergency cuts of about $1 million from its 2012-2013 budget (which runs through Sept. 30) to avoid a shortfall. He pointed out that the county employees have not received a raise for years.
While Upshur County pays about 27 percent of UCAD's budget, and Gilmer ISD pays about 30 percent, they each only have only one vote toward approving UCAD's budget, the same as the entities which pay only a small percentage.
If nine of the 17 okay the proposed budget, it will stand approved.
Mrs. Curtis has said that she will meet with other taxing entities to explain UCAD's need for the raises.
She has said that her staff is paid less than those at Appraisal Districts elsewhere in East Texas, and she needed the pay increase to be able to keep good, experienced people.
The commissioners approved a plan developed by Pct. 3 Comm. Frank Berka to ban personal use of county-issued cell phones.
Under his proposal, the cell phones would be issued to department heads, who would allocate them to employees they determined needed them.
The department heads would be required to review bills for their respective departments, and make sure they are not being used for personal calls.
Berka said that if a department head did not review his or her department's bills, the cell phones for that department should be shut off.
Hefner agreed with him.
He said that the plan had been developed with the heads of the county Maintenance Department and the Road and Bridge Department, with an investigator from the Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division representing that office.
He said that his plan would cut county cell phone bills from the current $2,800 a month to about $1,320.
Janice Tucker, County Auditor who was at the meeting, said that it was the responsibility of department heads to review the cell phone bills for a particular department.
Hefner said that "if a department head refuses to pay the bill, then I would do it only once and, like Frank said, I would turn them off."
Commissioners also agreed to a request from Mrs. Tucker to request proposals for new county software.
The county's base software was installed in 1983, and after 30 years, the software "will cease to be supported" as of this coming Dec. 31.
Mrs. Tucker said she expected installation, once a vendor is selected, to take months, but she wanted to get started on it now, since it will need to be included in the 2013-2014 fiscal year budget.
She said that three vendors already want to scheduled presentations.
County Clerk Brandy Lee and Treasurer Myra Harris both said that one vendor's software does not use a decimal system, which could lead to "confusion"—for example, would something written as $100000 be $1,000 or $10,000.
Commissioners voted to accept a grant to replace a voice recorder for the county 911 emergency-call system. The recorder is projected to cost $14,600, and ETCOG will reimburse up to $15,000.
They also approved spending $197 from the Justice of the Peace Security Fun to repair a communication radio at the county's Rock Building, where the Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Office is located.

Make sure you put the TL number in the box where it asks for it. Then they just need the pics and once sent in you get an easy entry card with the LP number. I just looked at the fees and holy cow they went up! Or we're just getting old. Cuddles LP was $15!

The University of Colorado Board of Regents, anticipating yet another cut in state-funding, is now contemplating two options for increasing tuition on the Boulder campus.
The two options formulated by the school administration were presented to the board today at its meeting in Denver. No vote is expected today on any tuition hike, however.
The first option on the table is a one-time increase that would boost the cost of tuition for part-time students by 1.7 percent per credit hour. A full-time student, defined as anyone taking 12 credit hours or more, would see a tuition increase of 8.6 percent beginning in the fall.
Other increases under this option: resident graduate students, 5 percent; non-resident grad students, 3 percent; non-resident undergrads, 3.5 percent.
The second option is a two-tiered approach, one for freshmen entering CU in coming years, and another for students currently enrolled. No percentage increase has been discussed so far this afternoon for either category of the second option. The meeting was still underway at 4 p.m.
Under the proposal, incoming freshman in the year 2013 would see a tuition increase their first year and then have tuition capped at that rate for their four-year attendance at the school. Incoming freshmen in 2014 and 2015 would pay different tuition rates than the 2013 freshmen, but also would have their tuition capped for four years.
Students currently attending CU would see their tuition bills rise in fall of 2013 and again in fall of 2014 and then be capped for the remaining two years.
With the second option, 25 percent of the increase would be earmarked for financial aid.
Board member James Geddes said Tuesday before the meeting that while he needs more time to ask questions regarding both plans, in either scenario his bottom line will be attempting to lessen the costs to students.
"These are still tough economic times for families, and they're under financial duress," Geddes said. "Very few of them have seen any improvement in their financial revenues, so what I'll be looking for is an option that will minimize the burden on our students."

TiPb loves answering your emails, but we also love sharing our answers with the community in hopes that more people will benefit, and even better answers will present themselves (hey, that's why we have them forums!). Today's question comes from Brandon:
I think it was universally acknowledged that September was when Apple promised is background notifications for the iPhone 2.x. September has come and gone and I don't know about you guys but I still don't have background notifications on my iPhone. Would be nice if you guys posted something busting apple's 3@!!$ for missing the date and hoping we wouldn't notice. I think alot of people like myself bought iPhones with the promise of these notifications in mind.
TiPb answers, after the jump!
We posted about the lack of push-notification when it disappeared from 2.1 Beta 4, and again when it didn't show up in 2.2.
However, our take is that 2.0.x was so beset with bugs, that Apple had to focus on stability first, and then worry about new features later.
We think Apple was humbled on July 11th, and they've chosen to take some extra time with Push Notification and get things right, rather than rush out new, likely buggy features just to make self-imposed deadlines. (Do we really want a Push Notification Service as broken as MobileMe was at launch? Hopefully not!)
Of course, TiPb would love us some working Notifications, so we really do hope we get them -- stable and properly polished -- in 2.2.
