I've been angering, or at least annoying, readers in southeast Utah and beyond for more than 20 years. I am proud to say I have infuriated both ends of the political spectrum at one time or another.
When I started my own newspaper, The Canyon Country Zephyr, almost 22 years ago, I was determined, for better or worse, to be evenhanded and consequently, I always provided space for even my most vehement opponents. There has never been a hostile letter to the Editor I would not print.
Looking back, clearly there have been times when some of my own sarcasm and "humor" has been counter-productive and hurtful. Beyond that, I was sometimes unwittingly creating a sympathetic backlash. Later, I'd learn that facts are more powerful than rants.
I admit that in the early years I was more of a knee-jerk liberal — nowadays I'm a knee-jerk for all people. Consequently, much of the criticism hurled at me came from the conservative wing of my readership.
For example, in the early 1990s, when The Zephyr expressed opposition to a proposed multi-million dollar road over the Book Cliffs to Vernal, the local politicos were furious.
When the BLM chained Amasa's Back, it was my turn to be furious and that made the ranchers mad.
I didn't much care for a toxic waste incinerator at Cisco and I caught hell for that too, mostly from the part of the population who had a background in mining and oil and gas exploration.
I could understand their hostile reaction, though I did not agree with them. When asked about The Zephyr, the Grand County road chairman simply said, "I only need one word to describe it...CRAP!!!"
Real estate developers didn't like my "anti-growth" attitude and I made very few friends from that sector either.
One Moab realtor complained that I read too much Edward Abbey and that I wanted to roll the clock back and live in a cave. I replied that it depended on the cave.
Several years ago, I looked around at what "my side" was doing to both preserve wilderness and create an economy based on recreation, tourism and "amenities," and realized the liberal solution to the economic woes of rural Utah -- to turn it into a little urban New West population center -- creates impacts of its own.
I've always believed that saving what remained of wilderness is a moral and ethical issue, not an economic one, and when the environmental movement started promoting the economic advantages of wilderness, even when it degraded and demeaned their own cause, I took exception and subsequently incurred the wrath of my liberal friends as well.
When I exposed the fact that many green groups are funded by wealthy capitalists whose interest in being on their boards is questionable and whose conflicted agendas reek of hypocrisy, they came unglued. In a Salt Lake Tribune editorial, SUWA's executive director called me the "Barney Fife of the desert" and maintained that my "rant says less about SUWA than about Jim's own curious little world. As its only resident, he's in charge. He gets not only his own opinion but his own facts."
But if SUWA and the road board were being honest, they'd have to admit that what infuriates them the most is when I quote them accurately and I DO get my facts right.
Clearly, I can't please anyone, right or left. But as a writer it's not my job.
So here it is, 2011 and the conservatives and liberals are as happy with each other as they ever were, the name calling is getting even hotter, the rhetoric more irrational, the country is spinning out of control and if I really had my druthers, I'd say to hell with the whole mess and hide out in a corn field (which is what I do most of the time anyway).
When it comes to my own rhetoric, no matter what I say, do or scribble, the Right still thinks I'm a bleeding heart lib and the Left thinks I've abandoned my 'progressive' components and become a gun-waving redneck.
A few weeks ago, I stuck my nose into San Juan County's latest controversy, the "Wanted: Dead or Alive" posters at some trailheads and threatened the environmental group Great Old Broads for Wilderness.
Whoever printed the posters and distributed them acted recklessly and irresponsibly or worse, and my essay said so. In San Juan County, I noted, hot-headed rhetoric from both ends of the political spectrum runs rampant.
Because the political mood here is dominated by conservatives, their rants are easier to find. But I also included some of the condescending words from the Left, specifically a passage or two from author and SUWA employee Amy Irvine and her bitter personal attack on the residents of Monticello.
The response from the Left was just as I expected...nothing. I once noted that when a Conservative really gets hot under the collar, he's apt to get right in your face and growl, "One more word and I'll knock your block off!"
But the Liberal? He's more likely to sniff, "I will not even dignify that comment with a reply." I think I'd rather get punched.
But for the last couple weeks, Blanding's own conservative polemicist/letter-writer, Jim Garmhausen, has been confusing me with a combination of conflicting comments.
If he thinks he can placate me by agreeing with me, all the while making my point for me via his recent rash of letter-writing, he is mistaken.
A couple weeks ago, Garmhausen took note of my effort to be evenhanded. "To his credit," he observed, "San Juan Record columnist Jim Stiles has made an honest attempt to find a neutral ground for non-confrontational language and reasoned discourse in the current land-use debate."
Even that wasn't quite right, but it was all downhill after that.
He described the difference between the "sweet, decent, hard-working people of San Juan County and the grant-dependent neurosthenic Old Bags, who have come here to facilitate Big Government suppression of our civil liberties."
He wrote: "Here's a good idea Ms. Egan (executive director) of the Old Broads could use to suck even more grant bucks out of Government bureaucracies and bored rich white people: declare Durango an Area for the Study of Noxious Invasive Species. That way the Old Broads could study each other." I can almost feel the love.
Garmhausen actually scores a couple valid points, but they're so buried in his vitriol that the facts get lost in the rant.
The truth is, most of the Great Old Broads' staff and board are longtime residents of the rural West and its director, Ronni Egan, is an accomplished wrangler who could probably rope and brand Mr. Jim before he could scream "Liberal Bolshevist Bag!"
It's reasonable to surmise that many of its members are from urban areas or are recently transplanted to New West communities and here is where the differences with rural residents become so sharp. Urban environmentalists, after a lifetime in the city, see the sparsely populated West differently than those who spent their lives working here.
If you can imagine what it's like to live in a sardine can for most of your life, perhaps you can also understand how precious the wide-open spaces are when they get the rare chance to enjoy them. Consequently, right or wrong, many urbanites see the West in its entirety, as one big national park. Even when they move here, they generally loathe the idea of anyone making a living from the land. Many come here after retiring, when earning a living is not a problem.
For decades I've heard rural Westerners accuse their pro-wilderness opponents of wanting to "lock up" the West. Well...that's probably true. They do. But their motives aren't nefarious. Their goal is not, as Mr. Garmhausen insists, "to facilitate Big Government suppression of our civil liberties."
Urban environmentalists' vision of western land use may be naive, but it's not sinister.
I still find myself pulling a quote from the most honest conservationist I've ever known, Wendell Berry, who notes that while most environmentalists object to the impacts from the extraction of natural resources, they rarely connect the dots to the gasoline they keep pumping into their SUVs. They loathe the damage caused by the production of resources but have no trouble consuming them.
Still, I don't see how anyone can mock their conviction or their dedication to a cause, even if you vehemently disagree with them.
Clearly, environmentalists believe the best way to "save" Utah's wilderness and make a buck as well is to abandon the extractive industries, like mining, in favor of tourism, which in the end is the most extractive business of them all. But isn't that what San Juan County is doing too?
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that Blanding, the bastion of anti-wilderness conservatism, promote itself as the "Base Camp to Adventure." And the county advertises our scenic beauty on...of all places...NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO! Surely Mr. Garmhausen can see the irony in that.
If there is a fair criticism to be made here, for me at least, it's the way Great Old Broads, like every other environmental group I know, has got caught up in the money game.
My friend Susan Tixier founded GOB, about 20 years ago with some other women over 50. She was its first executive director, worked practically for free, and simply liked being an "old broad" with the courage of her convictions. She could also probably pin Jim Garmhausen before breakfast.
Nowadays, GOB has a quarter million dollar payroll and gets some of its funding from the same wealthy capitalists who are compromising the integrity of other grassroots green groups. Their argument is (and I think they really believe this) that they need all the money they can get their hands on, dirty or not, to fight the corporate giants that they oppose. The irony here is that billionaires who DO have vested interests in energy companies and the profits they generate ALSO sit on the boards of environmental groups and donate huge amounts of money. The staffs of these groups should wonder by now just what these guys are up to...but they don't.
Jim Garmhausen also has a few words about author Edward Abbey. If he is just now discovering Abbey's extraordinary bundle of contradictions, he is late to the game. Jim is absolutely right when he says that some mainstream environmentalists pick and choose their favorite Abbey quotes and leave the rest under the couch.
So do conservatives. Ed Abbey may have been the greatest contrarian of all time and he did it for decades with a wink and a smile. To this day, I'm not sure what Abbey was really thinking. I gave up even trying a while back. I do think he'd be happy to know we're still debating his real essence, more than 20 years after he died.
Finally (thank Heaven), and still referring to Ed Abbey, Garmhausen complains, "I seriously doubt that Mr. Abbey would approve of the people who act in his name bursting into tears and threatening to tell Mom because somebody said harsh words."
I don't think any of the Great Old Broads is on the verge of tears, nor am I. When I talk about civil discourse, I'm not talking about "neutral ground" or "non-confrontational" behavior, or even compromise.
What I'm talking about is sticking to the facts...arguing with passion and conviction, but with some class and integrity. And here's something rarely tried—try standing in your opponent's shoes.
I am — foolishly or not — convinced that none of us are quite as bad as we think and I wish there weren't so many people trying to prove me wrong.

ROCKLEDGE, FL - Hundreds of Health First volunteers; seven locations across Brevard County; and countless hours of volunteer work! On Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20 They are donating their time as part of Health First's "Volunteer Army" being dispatched across the area to tackle community service projects.
This massive volunteer outreach effort is being initiated as part of a new Health First Community Benefit campaign called "Caring for Brevard."
The not-for-profit community organizations where Health First's "Caring for Brevard" volunteers are tackling projects include the South Brevard Sharing Center in Palm Bay and Melbourne, the Brevard Health Alliance in Cocoa and Melbourne, the Salvation Army in Melbourne. and the administrative offices of 2-1-1 Brevard. In addition volunteers will work at the Health First Distribution Center to assemble cold weather packets donated by hundreds of Health First employees across the system as well as informational packets on child abuse, domestic violence and substance abuse.
Volunteers will take on projects such as outdoor and indoor painting, floor and window repair, bagging groceries for food pantries, sorting items for thrift stores, pressure cleaning, landscaping, and more.
"We are so thankful Health First's Caring for Brevard campaign is reaching out with their volunteers," said Kathryn Columbia, community impact coordinator at the United Way. "As a longstanding United Way partner and volunteer, Health First has seen firsthand how hard each of these agencies work to help our community."
"The Brevard Health Alliance is thankful to be the recipient of the generosity of Health First associates through this community improvement activity," said Lisa Gurri, chief executive officer of the Brevard Health Alliance. "The need just continues to grow for affordable healthcare and this effort will significantly improve the appearance of our clinics, and the life of our buildings."
"Caring for Brevard" was called into service earlier than expected last month when severe weather threatened Central Florida. During the January cold snap that gripped Florida, "Caring for Brevard" volunteers moved up the planned distribution date of hundreds of blankets, socks, hats and other cold weather clothing to those in desperate need by making an emergency donation to the three local cold weather shelters: His Place Ministries in Melbourne, Central Brevard Sharing Center in Cocoa, and The Salvation Army in Titusville.
Some of the materials, supplies, and equipment for "Caring for Brevard" have been generously donated by Dawson's Lawn Care in Melbourne and Richard's Paints in Rockledge. These partnerships are helping to support Health First's Vision of "improving lives and communities. Every person. Every time."

Ex-chancellor Lord Lawson calls for UK to exit EU
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Lawson has called for the UK to leave the European Union.
He said economic gains "would substantially outweigh the costs" and predicted Prime Minister David Cameron's attempts to renegotiate relations would be "inconsequential".
Leaving the EU would free the UK from red tape, he wrote in The Times.
Mr Cameron said his planned referendum would deliver "not just a voice... but a vote on our future in Europe".
The prime minister is facing increased calls to bring forward a promised referendum on the UK's EU membership following the success of the UK Independence Party in last week's local elections in England.
'Warm embrace'
He says he will hold a vote early in the next Parliament, should the Conservatives win the next general election, but only after renegotiating the terms of the UK's relationship with the EU.
However, Lord Lawson said any such renegotiations would be "inconsequential" as "any powers ceded by the member states to the EU are ceded irrevocably".
The peer - who was Margaret Thatcher's chancellor for six years - voted to stay in the European Common Market, the EU's predecessor, in 1975, but said: "I shall be voting 'out' in 2017."
He said he "strongly" suspected there would be a "positive economic advantage to the UK in leaving the single market".
Far from hitting business hard, it would instead be a wake-up call for those who had been too content in "the warm embrace of the European single market", adding: "Over the past decade, UK exports to the EU have risen in cash terms by some 40%. Over the same period, exports to the EU from those outside it have risen by 75%."
Withdrawing from the EU would also save the City of London from a "frenzy of regulatory activism", such as the financial transactions tax that Brussels is seeking to impose.
Lord Lawson said his argument had "nothing to do with being anti-European", adding: "The heart of the matter is that the very nature of the European Union, and of this country's relationship with it, has fundamentally changed after the coming into being of the European monetary union and the creation of the eurozone, of which - quite rightly - we are not a part.
"Not only do our interests increasingly differ from those of the eurozone members but, while never 'at the heart of Europe' (as our political leaders have from time to time foolishly claimed), we are now becoming increasingly marginalised as we are doomed to being consistently outvoted by the eurozone bloc."
'Clear timetable'
At the local elections last week, the UK Independence Party - which campaigns for the UK to leave the EU - made substantial gains, while the Conservatives lost control of 10 councils.
The UKIP surge prompted a call from some senior Tories bring forward the planned referendum, while some others have urged Mr Cameron to take steps to give the public more confidence that a referendum would indeed take place if he wins the next general election.
Asked whether Lord Lawson's comments had given UKIP a boost, Mr Cameron said: "I think it's been a good day for the pledge that, if re-elected, I will hold to it in a referendum, so that everyone can have not just a voice on everyone's future in Europe, but a vote on our future in Europe."
He added that he welcomed the attention Lord Lawson had brought to his plans to renegotiate the UK's relations with the EU.
Mr Cameron said: "I want to give people not just a choice between the status quo and leaving the EU, but the choice between staying in a reformed EU and leaving."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said leaving altogether would "make us less safe because we co-operate in the European Union to go after criminal gangs that cross borders".
He said it could put three million jobs at risk, made it difficult to deal with cross-border threats such as climate change, and would also mean Britain was "taken less seriously in Washington, Beijing, Tokyo".
Replying, Lord Lawson told BBC Radio 4's World at One of the 3m jobs claim: "Well, that's poppycock - but I don't think Nick Clegg, who is a charming young man, has ever purported to know anything at all about economics."
UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said Lord Lawson's intervention "legitimised" his party's longstanding argument that the UK could prosper outside the EU, while exposing "serious divisions" in the Conservatives.
BBC political editor Robert Peston said the people running "our biggest companies would tend to be horrified at the idea of withdrawal from the EU".

General Adoption Information
Please review this entire page as it contains important information regarding the ARF Adoption Process.
The adoption process is one all parties must take seriously. We work hard to place the right animal in the right home and because of this, the process may take up to (3-5) Business Days from the time you submit your application. We do check references, but once you are approved, the process moves very quickly and you'll be invited out to see the animals. Most of our communication, after the time you submit an application, is done via email so please make sure you check your email account frequently and respond quickly.
Please note that we cannot consider you for an adoption until we receive a fully completed application. We welcome your questions, but inquiring about an animal is not considered an application. Fortunately for them, our animals move very quickly so if you find yourself even slightly interested in one of our animals, it is in your best interest to complete and submit an application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process.
Fill out an adoption application here
Remember: Approved applicants receive priority at our adoption events. If you're invited to meet an animal, plan to arrive on time or early. We cannot hold animals.
If you feel that you can provide a loving home for one our animals, please:
- Review our Adoption Policies.
- Review our Available Pets for potential adoptee candidates.
Complete an Adoption Application prior to meeting an animal and ensure you review the Rules and Disclosures for potential adopters.
You will be screened to ensure that:
- You understand the life long responsibility of adopting and caring for a pet.
- All household members consent to the decision to adopt.
- Adopting a pet will not result in a violation of your lease. If you live in an apartment, we do ask that you provide us with a copy of the lease or obtain a letter of approval from your landlord.
- You are at least 18 years of age or older to adopt a pet from us.
- The temperament of the animal you are interested in is conducive to your lifestyle and home environment.
- All animals in your house are current with vaccinations (distemper and bordatella for dogs and distemper for cats), rabies vaccinations should be current, heartworm and flea preventative are being used and the animals have been altered;
- Agree to the our adoption fees listed on individual pet's listing.
Included in Every Adoption
- Spay/Neuter1
- First Distemper Vaccination
- Initial de-worming
- Heartworm or Feline Aids/Leukemia Testing
- A certificate for a free veterinary exam2
- Rabies Vaccination of dogs 6 months and older
- Microchip Implant, a permanent identification to help protect animals from loss or theft.
1If a pet is too young to be spayed or neutered by us, the adopter is responsible for the alteration of the pet at the appropriate time as noted on the contract. ARF does follow up with those who adopt a pet who has not been altered and you will be expected and required to provide proof of alteration. A low cost spay or neuter coupon may be provided as part of the adoption package.
2As part of the contract you must take the pet to an ARF approved vet within the first 7 days after adopting. If you choose to go to another vet, ARF cannot be responsible for any fees incurred as part of that decision. It is never ARF's intention to adopt out a pet that is known to be sick and all animals are vetted prior to adoption, but you still must take responsibility for taking your new pet for an initial veterinary exam.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's head collided with teammate Jeff Taylor's knee tonight during a game in Houston, and Kidd-Gilchrist didn't get back up. As the announcers noted, his head didn't hit the floor when he fell, but it's hard not to fear the worst when a player leaves the court partly immobilized. As CBS Sports notes, "He did not open his eyes or signal to the crowd with his hands while exiting the court." It often feels like a given when players wave or give a salute in these situations—it sure is scary when they can't.
Kidd-Gilchrist, the second pick in this summer's draft and a member of Kentucky's 2012 national championship team, has started 43 of the Bobcats' 44 games. We'll update if any word on his condition comes down tonight.
[CSN Houston]
Update, 6:05 a.m.: It looks like Kidd-Gilchrist will be OK:
The team said late Saturday night that Kidd-Gilchrist would be hospitalized overnight with a concussion. The X-rays and a CT scan were negative, the Bobcats said.

Hi All
First time posting, I have monitored Funcube for a while now but over the last week or so the signals seem very low to me and i am finding it hard to decode anything since the signals are so weak,
i have tried a couple of different setups this end, Funcube dongle, AR5000 scanner and others , i have used a normal 2m/70cms vertical and a turnstile that works great on the weather sats but finding problems with all passes, even ones that look like they should be giving good levels.
Anyone else having problems? i need to find a good working setup as i am about to setup a station at school and so need to find out why i have this problem all of a sudden.

I've gotten so many emails about the supplements I am taking during pregnancy and took before conception that I decided to write a post. It seems a lot of people are having trouble finding the right prenatals they are happy with. I'll also place this post under the Preconception and Pregnancy Resources at the top of the page.
Speaking of those pages, few of you might know that these two pages (PRE-CONCEPTION RESOURCES AND PREGNANCY RESOURCES) is where I have placed links to more informative posts I was writing as I was going through preparations for TTC and pregnancy and will continue updating them. They are articles, posts and links to things I found useful while preparing to conceive and during pregnancy, as well as what I did during the pre-TTC period and pregnancy recaps, along with helpful products and books. If you're TTC or pregnant, go check it out, you might find a few useful things there.
VITAMINS and SUPPLEMENTS
Note: I am not here to give medical advice. All the information in this post and on this blog is my personal opinion derived from many books and studies I have found. You need to use your own situation and resources to decide if what is right for you.
When we first decided to TTC and started preparing our bodies for the first month of trying to conceive, I did a little bit of research as to what vitamins we could take to make our bodies healthy and strong in preparation for pregnancy. At that point, pretty much any prenatal supplement would do the job. However, knowing that many vitamins and minerals do have a toxicity level, my goal was to find a prenatal supplement that didn't have mega doses of certain vitamins. Some prenatals LOVE jamming 500% or more of vitamins into the pill, and not only is it unnecessary, but could be very dangerous when it comes to pregnancy.
TTC Supplement
So my initial pre-TTC prenatal supplement was from Solgar Prenatal Nutrients. It has a perfect amount of vitamins/minerals, without exceeding 100% of RDA,except for Iron (which is supposed to be higher for pregnant women anyways) and Vit. C ( which doesn't really have a toxicity level) (view the supplement label here)
It's important to go into pregnancy with adequate stores of iron, which sets you up not to be deficient later and you also need 200% of regular DV of folic acid which is 800mg. It's extremely important to take folic acid supplements prior to conception as the neural tube develops in the first 30 days of pregnancy (before most women know they are pregnant) and supplementing folic acid can prevent many cases of neural tube defects.
For your man:
Get him a zinc and selenium supplement which helps sperm health and production. A standard one a day men's pill like one below should do just fine
DHA supplement
Taking DHA or eating fatty fish (such as salmon, sardines and herring) is going to help with your baby's brain development once you get pregnant. I started with an algae based vegetarian DHA from Solgar. I liked the idea of not having to deal with mercury and dioxins from fish based supplements. Soon I realized it wasn't enough DHA (only 200mg) and to get it to the recommended 1g, I'd have to take 5 pills a day, which would become very costly. That's where the Environmental Defense Fund website came in handy with their Fish Oil Supplement Guide and after checking out a bunch of DHA brands, I decided that I really liked Nordic Naturals (I had read good things about them before as well). It has a nice strawberry taste, contains 1g of DHA in it and it's really well refined, so you don't have to worry about mercury and dioxins.
So that's where I was during the pre-conception stage….
Then pregnancy came and with it, came a lot of new reading and researching.
I found out that as little as 3/4 of Daily Value of vitamin E has been linked with heart defects. My OB tipped me off about that when I ran my prenatals past him but the prenatal he offered that had 50% of vitamin E was flawed in other areas. The worst part is that ingesting more than 3/4 of the recommended amount of vitamin E (from food AND supplements) BEFORE and DURING pregnancy increased the risk of heart abnormalities in babies 9 fold (according to the study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology). You just CAN'T WIN, can you? Keep in mind that some DHA supplements use vitamin E as a preservative so count that in too (it'll list it on the label).
So I decided that the only way to truly do a good job with my prenatals is to "build my own". Rather than take 2 massive pills, I decided to buy all separate supplements.
Most people's diets get sufficient amounts of some vitamins and minerals. Everyone's diet is different, therefore everyone's needs are different. In order NOT to have to take literally up to 25 different pills a day, I set out to figure out what my diet is deficient in and only supplement those plus some. After tracking my food intake for a week or so using NutritionData, I figured out that as a {mostly} vegetarian eater, I was perfect on all vitamins except B, and all minerals except iron and zinc. I actually continued tracking my food intake and vitamins and attempting to get all of my 100% of RDA from foods, but anything I was deficient that day I could always pop a supplement for, without throwing the rest out of wack.
So I assume most of you aren't going to want to go to the extent of tracking your food intake and some of you might not have time for it, so I'll try to break it down as easily as I can.
If you're mainly a vegetable/fruit/grain eater, you'll need the same supplementation as me. If you tend to eat fewer vegetables and more meat products, you need to check your A,C,K, folate consumption.
Here is my supplement breakdown:
{ Morning: 500mg of Calcium + 1000 mg DHA. (links are to the actual supplements I take) }
Calcium needed supplementation just in case ( I did eat enough dairy to meet my RDA, but I'd like to keep my teeth and bones when I am done making babies, so I wanted to be sure). It needs to be taken at a different time of the day than iron, since it interferes with iron absoption (which is hard to absorb as it is). In addition to that, only 500mg of calcium can be absorbed at a time, so if you want to supplement more, you need to break it down into 500mg servings over the day. Make sure your brand comes with vitamin D for better absorption as well.
DHA is almost always deficient in most people, unless you literally eat fatty fish daily, and with every child your DHA stores dimish, so it's even more important to supplement in subsequent pregnancies. There's been a study in nursing women that showed that taking as much as 2-4 grams of DHA increased their child's intelligence accordingly, so the supplementation doesn't stop with pregnancy, but continues into breastfeeding and beyond. If you're formula feeding, it's trickier, since not all formula companies care to add DHA, however it's possible to find one that does have a good amount of DHA (don't be fooled by the marketing ploy of adding a negligent amount of DHA and stating "source of DHA" on the can)
{ Evening: Vit. C+Iron+Zinc+Copper+B complex+Folic Acid (links are to the actual supplements I take) }
Vitamin C – besides it being harder to overdose on, vitamin C is just a good vitamin to supplement. In my case, the reason for supplementation was that Iron is better absorbed if taken with vitamin C. You can accomplish the same thing if you take your iron with orange juice or eat a grapefruit. The challenge is to find a pill that doesn't give you 1000% of vitamin C. So I break mine into two and take half the amount (250mg) at one time. Most fruit/vegetable eaters don't need supplementation unless they want better iron absorption.
Iron – this one really doesn't need explanation. Unless you eat A LOT OF iron rich foods, you probably need supplementation at one point of the pregnancy or the other. I used Gentle Iron from Solgar from the beginning and I haven't had much trouble with it making me sick or constipated (like some iron supplements do). Don't take it close to a calcium rich meal or with your calcium supplement. It inhibits absorption. Iron is the reason I take all these pills in the evening, because I figured if I were to get sick from it, I'd be fast asleep by the time it hits me and I won't notice it as much 🙂 So the evening time just stayed.
Zinc and Copper- I don't actually need copper supplement on daily basis, however the rule of thumb is to supplement copper if you supplement zinc and visa versa. They are in a very finicky balance in our system and supplementing one without the other can throw the whole balance off. Unless you know you eat plenty of copper, I wouldn't supplement zinc without it. Since these two tend to come in 200% dv form, I break them in two as well.
B vitamins Complex – this pill complex includes all B vitamins in no more than 100% DV, plus 400mg of folic acid. Since I don't eat meat, or drink too much dairy, I need supplementation. If you're a meat eater, you might not. This one from Sundowns was the best one I found.
Folic Acid – this one is a must from day "MINUS 30" of pregnancy. The RDA for pregnant women is 800mg. Since I get 400 mg from my B complex, I only need to supplement an additional 400mg.
So that's where I am at right now. I guess once I start breastfeeding, I'll have to review the breakdown of vitamins necessary for breastfeeding and adjust accordingly.
Hope this helps a few of you who ran into the same trouble with prenatals as I did, but haven't had a chance to email me.

Maine Episcopal priest facing drug charge appears in court; bail conditions modified
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � An Episcopal priest charged with mailing prescription drugs to inmates at a Maine jail has made his first court appearance.
The Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/Ufi44J ) reports that the Rev. Stephen Foote was not required to enter a plea in Lincoln County Superior Court on Thursday, but bail conditions were modified slightly.
The 70-year-old Foote, who lives in Bremen and was serving at St. Mark's in Augusta, is charged with trafficking in prison contraband. He's free on unsecured bail.
Prosecutors say he mailed suboxone to an inmate he knows at the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset. Suboxone is used to treat opiate addiction but can be abused.
Two inmates are also facing charges.
Foote's attorney did not comment.
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine has placed Foote on administrative leave.

J.C. Hutchins discovered an unusual envelope in his mail today ... and inside was an item so mysterious and perplexing, he had to document its contents for you. It appears to be a "rabbit hole" -- an intriguing gateway into a viral promotion or Alternate Reality Game.
J.C. has no idea who sent this envelope, and is stymied by its encrypted contents. Watch the video and examine the PDF in this post (found below; look for the "EBOOK PDF" icon) and see if YOU can decode its secrets. You can also find hi-res photos of the envelope's contents on J.C.'s Flickr page: http://flickr.com/photos/jchutchins/
Please spread the word about this mystery (J.C. recommends the "Share This" feature at the end of this post). And feel free to post your thoughts (or decryption progress) here in the comments. He may have been the "first to find" this rabbit hole ... but when it comes to its secrets, J.C. doesn't want to be the last to know!
UPDATE: Thanks to you amazing people, we've tracked down several other recipients of the letter, and determined that those letters are similar -- but not identical -- to the one J.C. received. Find out more here:

Roasted Turkey for a Holiday Meal's Main Course
A beautifully roasted turkey (or roast turkey) is a classic centerpiece of many holiday menus. Deciding what to make for the main course of your holiday meal can be overwhelming, so why not stick with the basics?
Roasted Turkey
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Yield: 12–16 servings
12- to 13-pound turkey, fresh or thawed
1 large onion, about 1/2 pound, peeled and cut into eighths
1 tablespoon peeled and finely minced garlic, about 3 large cloves
1/4 pound carrots, coarsely chopped, about 4 to 5 medium carrots
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons corn, peanut, or vegetable oil
3 cups turkey or chicken broth
1/4 cup peeled and finely chopped onion
Preheat the oven to 450° F.
Cut off and discard the wing tips of the turkey. Remove the neck and giblets packet.
Rinse the turkey cavity well and pat it dry. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with the onion pieces, garlic, carrot, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with salt and pepper and rub the turkey all over with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Rub the bottom of a large roasting pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Place the turkey on its side in the roasting pan. Place it in the oven and roast for about 40 minutes. Turn the turkey onto its opposite side. Return it to the oven and roast for another 45 minutes, basting often.
When a meat thermometer in the thigh registers 180 degrees F, remove the turkey and set it aside briefly. Pour off and discard the fat from the pan.
Return the turkey to the pan, breast-side up, and return it to the oven. Pour 2 cups of the broth around the turkey.
Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the pan laterally so that the turkey cooks evenly. Continue baking, basting occasionally, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pan and cover the turkey loosely with aluminum foil.
To make a sauce, scoop out the vegetables from the cavity of the turkey and place in a large saucepan.
Add the liquid from the roasting pan. Add the remaining 1 cup of broth and the chopped onions, bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat. Strain the sauce and season it well.
Carve the turkey into serving pieces.
Check the label on your turkey for approximate cooking times and temperatures. Remove the turkey from the oven when its internal temperature is 5 to 10 degrees less than the final internal temperature, and then let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. During the resting time, the turkey cooks 5 to 10 degrees more.
None of this is exact science, though; you have to use a meat thermometer to get the results you like. When inserting a meat thermometer in a roast, do not let the metal tip touch the bone — the bone is hotter than the meat and registers a falsely higher temperature.
If you're a vegetarian or you'll be entertaining one at your holiday party, be sure to prepare something special as a main course or an alternative to your meat dish. Expecting vegetarians to make do by just eating salad and side dishes doesn't do much to help them enjoy the meal.

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Qualcomm's (QCOM.O) CEO Paul Jacobs said on Wednesday that the U.S. mobile chipmaker still has not been notified about why it has come under antitrust scrutiny in China since late last year.
In November, Qualcomm announced that China's National Development and Reform Commission had launched an antitrust probe into the company. The chipmaker said it was unaware of any possible violations.
"We really don't know yet," Jacobs told Reuters in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He added that it is not unusual for authorities in various countries not to disclose reasons for their antitrust probes.
Qualcomm has since handed over requested documents to the NDRC.
The NDRC has launched nearly 20 pricing-related probes of domestic and foreign firms in the last three years, according to official media and research published by law firms.
In December, state media quoted a senior official at the NDRC saying the regulator had "substantial evidence" against the chipmaker.
Some experts have suggested China's government may be seeking leverage in royalty negotiations or moving to support local suppliers trying to compete with Qualcomm, the global leader in 4G technology, also known as Long-Term Evolution (LTE).
In the last few months, organizations affiliated with the Chinese government spent nearly $3 billion to buy Chinese mobile chipmakers Spreadtrum Communications Inc and RDA Microelectronics Inc. Both companies have technology that competes with Qualcomm's.
"We're good with the operators because we help the operators out a lot," Jacobs said. "China has a couple of chipset manufacturers that just got bought by a government university so there are all sorts of dynamics going on."
Qualcomm, the world's biggest maker of cellphone chips, sees China as a key market as growth in smartphones shifts away from the United States to developing countries. China Mobile has been preparing to upgrade to high-speed networks using technology developed by Qualcomm.
"I wouldn't single out any particular company at this point but we definitely have friends and we definitely have companies that we know are more antagonistic," said Jacobs, who will step aside as Qualcomm's CEO in March. He will be replaced by Chief Operating Officer Steve Mollenkopf.

Seems all I have to do is leave some fiberglass insulation lay on the floor of my garage. Also had a colony in a winterkilled nuc this year until the ants overran it.
>>>If I can store enough pollen I am definitely trying to culture some bumbles next year<<<
So....am I to take it that they aren't self sufficient?
I don't need anything else to compete with my bees for nectar sources.

Bee Sting Honey - So Good, It Hurts!
I wouldn't try to *keep* bumblebees, but I can recommend a great flower that they will visit readily and often for pollen. I planted an old variety of morning glory this year known as Grandpa Ott. Every morning, they are all over it.
The bee balm and veronica that are normally covered with honeybees at this time of year have only bumble bee visitors--and lots of them. Do bumbles compete with honeybees?
There are lots of nectar sources around me that are only visited by the bumbles. For example, the red clover and the teaseall.
I accidentally found a bumble bee nest tonight, I was checking the white sweet clover bloom and heard a real roar. I had stepped on the nest and about 10 bumbles came out to check things out.
I didn't explore it further cause I didn't have my suit on. But I wonder if it would be worthwhile to hive them and try to rent them out to some of the greenhouses around here?
Some bees do compete, however bee balm is known for being excellent for bumble bees and not so excellent for honey bees. You probably just didn't have many bumblebees around before and now its just not worth it to the honey bees. If you're just talking about a few plants, you'll probably get a tablespoon or two less honey this year! I wanted to get some bee balm going this year for the bumble bees, but didn't get around to it. I remember one year when I grew it they loved it.
As for moving bumblebees, I don't know and will leave that one for someone else.

I found a bumblebee's nest this weekend.. looks like they made a home w/in the stone foundation of my old farm house. I just watched the activity for a while.. the bumble's were busy and bringing in stores.
I'm going to give it a try. I ordered the book that was mentioned on here a while back.
I'm really curious though about when and where to find the queen bumble bees too.
How do you get started?
I hit a triple today..! I found a paper hornet nest, beelined my third yellowjacket nest in two week, and some nice bumblebees...!
I'm was wondering if i can somehow get the bumbles boxed up...I checked them out a bit online. It appears one would have to attract a searching queen in the spring with a nestbox...
Would pollen substiute work for spring feeding, until newly raised workers are providing pollen...? Does the queen need to be fed nector/honey , until new coloney is establishd..?
Here's a good bumble bee rearing book- I've heard good things about it anyways. Haven't read it myself:
Dulcius ex asperis
Thanks George,I tried ordering that book from there University online store...There seems to be some problem on the website, concerning an " error ", that they say they are working on correcting..I wonder if Amazon.com would have this book..."Befriending Bumble Bees"...
Anyone know if theres another seller of this book, other than U of M ..?
This year all my little bird houses are filled with these huge gigantic bumble bees. They are soo beautiful. I hope they stay around. They are NOT those huge gigantic yellow jacket japanese thingy's either (they weren't around this year like they were last year...I heard the cold spells we had in spring killed them off - horray!!!)...they are the true blue Bumble Bee. They are soo cool and sooo gentle.
~What do you know there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive, Chase all the clouds from the sky~

Grand Rapids is featured in another story of top places to visit in 2014 — and this time, The Huffington Post travel section covers the globe.
The Huffington Post names the city and the nearby lakeshore as one of 14 "under-the-radar" travel destinations for 2014.
The post this week actually cites the recent inclusion of Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan's Gold Coast in a Lonely Planet story on U.S. travel hot spots for 2014.
"Lonely Planet named Grand Rapids the top U.S. destination to check out in 2014," the post states. "Grand Rapids has been voted the best beer city in America and boasts more than 25 craft breweries nearby. The city also has a lively art scene and tons of festivals. Thirty miles away, Lake Michigan's Gold Coast offers the prime location for an unexpected beach getaway, with 300 miles of gorgeous waterfront."

When Bandai Namco isn't making video games, it's making Gundam toys. And when it's not making Gundam toys, it's making Super Sentai toys. Super Sentai are totally awesome.
At this year's Tokyo Toy Show, the Bandai booth had a full line-up of life-sized Red Super Sentai characters throughout the ages. To those who don't follow Super Sentai (known in the West as Power Rangers), the outfits might look the same.
This line-up shows the inventive, and sometimes crazy, variations over the years. Check the gallery of photos, courtesy of website Gigazine.

Been trying to avoid spending money on booze, but sometimes you just gotta go to the liquor store.
I've been waiting for Tempus Fugit's Fernet Angelico, for what seems like years. It is finally here and it is just as delicious as I remember.
In addition, the Haus Alpenz imported and Dolin produced Dolin Véritable Génépy Des Alpes arrived.
"Dolin Véritable Génépy (Génépi) Des Alpes Liqueur $29.99 – I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! The elusive Génépy (Génépi) from Dolin is a type of liqueur that has long been sought-after, but only recently become available in the US. Its character is derived from the various alpine shrubs of the genus Artemisia. More commonly known as wormwood, Genepi is an iconic alpine botanical associated with the kingdom of Savoy and the regions in France, Switzerland, and Italy that once made up that kingdom. It's been used for centuries to flavor liqueurs, digestifs and various tonics. The flavor profile falls somewhere in between modern absinthe and chartreuse. While exhibiting significant sweetness, its strong herbal quality keeps it nicely balanced. It makes for an excellent digestif and is a key ingredient in several classic cocktails."

Well, make it a twofer.

New Zealand's role in the biggest scientific discovery in decades shows what can happen when kiwis get involved in international collaborations, says a leading physicist.
Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher in Switzerland discovered a new subatomic particle in July, believed to be the long-searched for Higgs boson.
David Krofcheck, a senior physics lecturer at the University of Auckland, was instrumental in getting New Zealand involved in the global project at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN).
He and expatriate Kiwi physicist Alick Macpherson hatched a plan in 2001 to develop new beam radiation triggers for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's biggest and highest-energy particle accelerator.
To go in the draw to win one of five single passes to see David Krofcheck and others speak at TEDx Auckland on Saturday October 6, click here.
New Zealand's size and lack of access to capital meant we were simply unable to take on large scientific or high-tech reserach projects ourselves, said Krofcheck.
"You can't guarantee that you can do that in New Zealand because we don't have a big industrial base. We're so far away that we don't have that kind of infrastructure."
When Krofcheck speaks next month at the Auckland TEDx event, a key message will be that New Zealand corporations needed to start gaining more access to international collaborations by finding niche products to develop.
"It has to be the right sized part for us to fit in. We couldn't take on something that was too big for us that would cost $100 million. We need a project that fits our economy and our manpower - finding a niche is key.
"This is what gives us access to technology we would never usually be able to access, like a high energy particle accelerator."
Krofcheck, who moved here from America in 1995, said kiwi businesses seemed 'lethargic' and were failing to seek out exciting opportunities offshore.
"I think we've been going along and we've been happy with our primary industry and we've had a long relationship with Great Britain, supplying dairy products, or shipping lamb to the Arabs. And we've become very comfortable with that. "
We needed more opportunities for smart New Zealanders to go away to work and make contacts overseas, he said.
"Being so far away from the hotbeds of innovation, like Silicon Valley and Singapore, I think the only way we can break out of that lethargy and break that inertia is to send people out into international collaborations."
It was natural that if we invested in sending people out, they might not come back.
"But there are some that will come home too and it's those people who will bring back the connections and the contacts and then teach the next generation.
"Ultimately it's about those human connections in international collaborations, where everyone's looking in the same direction. And in the end, sometimes you end up with the Higgs boson."
When Krofcheck and Macpherson came up with their idea to develop the beam triggers, they discovered how difficult it was to access funding in New Zealand.
"There was no funding to do fundamental type research. The only way I could get funding was to say 'once I'm involved in CERN we can get access to technology that is only a dream for us'."
The pair fought hard because they knew people were going to like the project, Krofcheck said.
"Our detectors gave nice clean signals that detected protons colliding. I knew everybody would need that."
Krofcheck said New Zealand companies tended to commit a "disturbing" lack of funding towards research and development compared to other countries.
"Why can't we do it? Is it just inertia again? Do we need better science training for people who run businesses? Should we do more at university level to help people appreciate science? I'm not sure what the answer is.
"I think we need to make people see the advantage of making their own products better through research and development."
Our country needed more great scientific minds, especially after the passing of world-renowned physicist Sir Paul Callaghan in March.
"There's a guy we lost way too soon. I don't see anyone replacing him. We need another Paul Callaghan.
"He believed in not just picking a winner of technology but finding people who liked and were good at doing something and then supporting that person in whatever field it was."
Being part of the new subatomic particle discover in July had been the highlight of his career, Krofcheck said.
"I can't tell people that this Higgs boson is going to change their life today. You're still going to get stuck in traffic, you're still have to go shopping, I'm still going to have to mow the lawn.
"But it was like this with other discoveries of other particles 100 years ago. And now here I am sitting with a laptop watching YouTube clips of Paul Callaghan giving me advice from across time."
Every fundamental breakthrough in history had eventually proven itself, he said.
"I can't say exactly what will happen but I will say it will be something great. I will bet on that but it might be our grandchildren that get the benefit. Right now we just get the thrill of discovery."

'The alt-rights intellectuals would also argue that culture is inseparable from race. The alt-right believe that some degree of separation between peoples is necessary for a culture to be preserved. A Mosque next to an English street full of houses bearing the flag of St. George, according to alt-righters, is neither an English street nor a Muslim street separation is necessary for distinctiveness.
Some alt-righters make a more subtle argument. They say that when different groups are brought together, the common culture starts to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Instead of mosques or English houses, you get atheism and stucco.'

This is a guide to running Linux with the Asus R1F laptop. This is a small but still very powerful laptop. The audio system does not currently work with Linux.
This guide is intended to provide you details on how well this laptop works with Linux and which modules you need to configure. For details on how to actually install and configure the required modules have a look at our guides section for distribution specific instructions.

As default the native screen resolution of this notebook is 1280×800, however due to the way the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 functions this resolution would not be usable right away. To get it working you will need to install the 915resolution program and type in:
915resolution 3c 1280 800
This will then allow you to use the native 1280×800 resolution. However this setting will be forgotten after each boot so you will need a way to automatically run this command at every boot. Fortunately most Linux distributions come with the 915resolution program and include a simple way of achieving this. You can view our Configuring the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 & 950 guide for more information.
Currently the audio system in this laptop is not fully supported under Linux. With the latest development ALSA modules the sounds does appear to function but the volume control does not work nor is there any sounds out of the headphone jack.
The tablet does not seem to behave as intended. It seems to function more like a mouse than a proper tablet.
Unfortunately with the issues listed above the Asus R1F is not a good laptop to use under Linux. If/when the modules improve for both the audio and the tablet then this will be an excellent laptop. As of now this laptop is not recomended as a tablet pc, more like a regular laptop.
Tablet now works
See how to set it up at:
Note that this is not for non-programmers yet, though hopefully will soon
be available in the standard kernel.
I just got an email from wacom team, They told me that the penabled drivers for linux, will be ready sometime in June. They told me they would send me an email when it would come out. So hang tight, ill Post on here when that day comes and when they would be available. Im So stocked to hear from then. To know that they acctually will have it ready in June, July. So keep your eyes peeled.
I intalled Opens Suse 10.3 both 32 and 64bit They both work exactly the same exept that the 64bit had some compatibility issues with programs like flashplayer and cellwriter, and Opera browser. I couldn't get the cellwriter to work. Both Wifi and bluetooth worked but hey had to be configure Manually AFTER you install everything, it was very easy to hop on other peoples wifi as it would show you there stored passkeys(thats if you knew the passkey). Then intel 945 gm gpu worked fine and I had a native 1080×800 rez OOTB. Due to my skeptizm I had really messed with the touchsreen options under Sax2 tools so that I could use the stylus..no success and I had to reboot the whole pc with a fresh clean install of My vista recovery disk and desided to work on it under vmware fusion.
on Mandriva 2008 Asus R1F works quite well. You have manualy install wifi, mouse, but there are rpm"s so its quite easy. For WiFi in Mandriva Control Center/ Software management/Select media sources choose at least one from Distribution sources and unselect your mandriva cd/dvd as a source. than in Software managemnt for video card type "3945" in search box and select latest drivers. for bloutooth check if bluez packages are installes than type "sudo hidd –connect [bluetooth adr]" (adress is on the bottom of the mouse XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).
I found something interesting
Hello everyone I found out some Suse dev peeps have succesfully intalled linux with a working pen. The reason I know this is that I've been diligently searching for this. In this blog http://blog.nouse.net/?p=100#comment-36903
Temo quotes that "RandR/xrandr(1)/resapplet work as expected, letting you rotate the screen in any direction. However, the cursor is moving a little funny when using the touchscreen. I'm pretty sure that Danny will take care of that." So then I kept Diggin into his little blog and Found out that "Danny" the so called buddy he referres is working on Some Tablet pc support. You can click on his Link also in the blog.
Gusty 7.10
Media card works with 7.10 Ubuntu
So does USB and Bluetooth can see my phone (nokia 668 but could not connect)
No immediate support for tablet/digipen
Sound is on full in some applications and cannot be reduced
Compiz runs great, all extensions (tile etc.)
Very fast to load and shutdown…
Connected to Vista (vista needs a fresh rebooth to be connected to….from hibernate 7.10 sees nothing)
Printing working with Brother mfc 8860DN under cups driver over network (small delay so wait!)
no doubht way better than vista for everything….when tweaked - just wish it had a "fall back to xx/xx/2008" option instead of having to rebuild the box when some package screws things up….
Some apps do run hot on the laptop (especially under VM on Virtual box)
Tablet (Wacom USB chip) Support
Unfortunately the same lack of touchscreen support is true for the Asus R1E.
Progress on Linux support for this Wacom chip can be followed here:
Let us hope that it is supported soon.

Concertgoers looking to score high-demand tickets should proceed with caution as a number of people have reported that the tickets they bought off Craigslist were fake.
Dakota Sal purchased two tickets to the Bruno Mars concert that was scheduled for May 30 at the Hollywood Bowl. She said she had purchased tickets off Craigslist "dozens of times" and had never had any issues – until she tried to get in to the venue and was told the tickets were fake.
"(I felt) anger, sadness, i was looking forward to this concert," Sal said.
Sal had paid $600 for two tickets. She met the seller at a 7-Eleven on the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Sawtelle Avenue in West LA. She said the seller even gave her a receipt.
"I thought, that was nice of him," Sal said.
Many NBC4 viewers reported that they had similar experiences when they tried to enter the Hollywood Bowl with what they thought were valid Bruno Mars concert tickets.
"(We) went to the little ticket booth and then we got denied. It was so sad," Nadine Tracey said.
Tracey paid $500 to see Bruno Mars. The man who sold her the tickets even allowed her to take a photo of him with his driver's license.
"He seemed a little nervous, a little sketchy," Tracey said. "I should have trusted my instinct."
According to the LAPD, these ticket scams are quite common. Despite the fact that many of these victims have reported the crimes, tracking down the person responsible has been compared to finding a needle in a haystack.
Ticketmaster advises that concertgoers only buy tickets from a primary source such as the venue or Ticketmaster, or an official resale marketplace, such as StubHub. The ticketing company urges buyers to not get tickets from a person on the street or people selling tickets on Craigslist.
