Following up on a discussion while sitting at the booth at the Old Settlers Reunion and specifically an idea by member Shirley BATES, research revealed an old Ancestry.com library article about Family History Month ideas.
One article by George G. Morgan in his "Along Family Lines" column was for an "I'm My Own Grandpa" party. It fit in with Shirley's idea for a costume party dressing like an ancestor. I wasn't sure if I could duplicate an authentic 19th Century farmer outfit, but I could perhaps do one of the following ideas:
Bring an artifact or object an ancestor used or might have used if not an original.
Prepare and serve a recipe (and maybe give out a copy of the recipe?) handed down from an ancestor [nothing heavy just something that could be dessert, appetizer, or other finger food or drink — excluding moonshine, etc. 🙂 ].
Tell a story about an ancestor or ancestors.
Share a favorite story or song or music handed down from an ancestor.
Bring and display and/or tell about ancestors, ancestral places, etc.
Dress in period clothing, etc appropriate to an ancestor.
Or other ideas along these lines.

Summer in New York is full of young women in long print dresses. Too often though the dresses are bland, overly basic and usually carrying a cheap looking print. Sometimes they seem like the modern version of the thoughtless housedress.
I think it is so fresh to see a long dress done with a little flair. The fullness of this young lady's dress doesn't dwarf her size but does create a beautifully dramatic silhouette when she walks.

In expectation of being driven inside by the cold new england winter... does anyone have suggestions for mini indoor crops? Something easy that will happily grow and produce near a window? I'd love to have some homegrown edibles through the season..
Views: 297
I'm going to compile a lot of the information that you guys have shared here and create an article for the homegrown blog. Do any of you have photos of your indoor gardens that you'd like to share? Please post them here if you do. Thanks!
This was our first year doing outside raised bed gardens during the Spring/Summer/Fall. While I tried to cold frame to get some lettuce, it hasn't been too successful. So, we started sprouting indoors! We did sunflower, broccoli and today's harvest will be radish! It's so easy to do with a glass jar and some cheese cloth over the top. Soak overnight the first night, then rinse daily (sometimes 2/3 times) and let drain by flipping the jar over and setting it on the counter at an angle. Depending on the sprouts, you'll have something to eat within 4-7 days. Our jar sits right under our kitchen window which gets indirect sunlight and all our sprouts turn green. My husband says this is his type of gardening :)
Cornelia - I'll try to get a picture of this batch before we eat them.

Tis the season for Friends & Family sales. If you're a planner like we fancy ourselves to be, you'll take advantage of these opportunities to snag some amazing holiday gifts. And maybe a little treat for yourself, too. Beauty.com has its 20% F&F sale going on through Friday, November 9, and it's definitely worth checking out. They've added a ton of new brands to the site, many that don't normally go on sale. We were excited to see the luxe Sunday Riley, organic powerhouse Vapour and hair genius Sarah Potempa (Beachwaver, anyone?)!
Here's our top Beauty.com F&F picks!
bareMinerals Light Up The Room Collection ($39), a.k.a. Do it for the Well-Rested Face & Eye Brightener (raves seen here previously). We also love the Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream, Illuminating Mineral Veil and Prime Time Brightening Eyelid Prime with its pretty gold sheen action.
Rahua Shampoo ($32, 9.3 oz) has been on my radar forever. It has a cult following of sorts (especially in the natrual and I've only heard amazing things. Time to try, right? It's 100% natural with coconut and shea butters and even some quinoa to help with moisture retention.
Sarah Potempa Mini "Touch Up" Iron ($35), Discovering Sarah Potempa, celeb hair guru and creator of the most user-friendly tools for us gals at home, was a highlight of 2012 for me. I'm sure her mini flat iron, coated with ceramic and tourmaline, obviously, will be a travel and gym bag staple for me. Totally loving the case, too!
Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick Trio ($30) is so very gorgois , as Ms. Mally would say. Breaks down to $10 per tube pre-discount, so it's a no-brainer must. Mally's liquid lipstick is one of the best and these colors are so wearable. A great gift for any woman in your life.
Sunday Riley Effortless Breathable Tinted Primer ($48), is a product I've been very curious about. It's a multi-purpose primer/skin plumper with peptides and Rejuvenox that basically keeps skin breathing and drenched in oxygen. The presence of a tint gives me hope that this could work in place of foundation on some days!

I got away with a lot at my wedding. Lord of the Rings music in church, Autobot cufflinks, a Han-and-Leia-topped cake. She's a good wife, my wife. But even she would have probably drawn the line at this.
Ben and Mimi's wedding saw Ben and his mates ditch their boutonnières (you know, flowers on suits) for... action figures. Iron Man, X-Men, Dragonball, there was even a Jesus there.
If that wasn't dorky/adorable enough, their "just married" sign was made out of... giant Scrabble letters. Awww.

In glancing at the new DwellStudio Home 2010 Collection images I thought to myself, "Self, the folks at DwellStudio have such an amazing eye for putting various patterns and colors together…this is certainly something that doesn't come easy to the rest of us. So, Self, why not create a quick and easy 'Deconstructed DwellStudio Home Collection Guide' to help DP peeps put together the looks they like?" And I did. This is super basic but should hopefully help create the "bedscape" of your dreams without having to go back and forth between Design Public product pages to figure out what is what.
DwellStudio Peacock Bedding in Dove; DwellStudio Gate Euro Shams in Ash; DwellStudio Pyramids Standard Cases in Ash
DwellStudio Gate Duvet and Shams in Ash; DwellStudio Chinoiserie Pillow; DwellStudio Gate Sheets and Cases in Ash; DwellStudio Pyramids Matelasse in Pearl Coverlet
DwellStudio Peacock Citrine Duvet and Shams; DwellStudio Woven Pyramids Euro Sham in Dark Bronze; DwellStudio Linen Edge in Ash Sheets and Cases
DwellStudio Etching Duvet and Shams; DwellStudio Woven Pyramids Euro Sham in Ink; DwellStudio Pin Dot Sheets and Cases
This is just a smidgen of imagery from DwellStudio. If you see any other images on our site for DwellStudio or any other designer that you'd like to me deconstruct leave a comment and a link to the image and I'll see how I do!
I enjoy wood paneled station wagons, German food and senior citizens (I am 80 years old at heart). Nearly every weekend I am taking photos at other people's weddings and I have a blog of my own (but I don't update it often enough). I love to paint, sew and knit. Check out my DP Staff profile on Hatch.

Ivan Semirechenskiy
and Harlequin
Ziyi Zhang
Ziyi Zhang started dance training when she was 8 years old and at the age of 11 joined the Beijing Dance Academy where she retrained in national dance. At the age of 15, she won the national youth dance championship and then began appearing in television commercials, beginning with shampoo commercials in which she failed at her first attempt at 'acting'.
When she was 17 years of age Ziyi Zhang had to go through a government imposed test to assess her best talent and it was discovered that she really did have acting skills. When the Party commands, Zhang obeys and at the age of 18 she was enrolled in the Central Academy of Drama, the most prestigious acting college in China.
A year later the nineteen year old Ziyi was offered her first role in "The Road Home", winner of the 1999 Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear award, which started her on the road to movie stardom. She has become adept at integrating ballet into karate and karate into ballet as this Van Dam in a skirt demonstrates in the films "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of Flying Daggers".
Michelle Yeoh
Michelle Yeoh is another ballet trained actress who has forged her pointes to swords. Malaysian born but based in Hong Kong, Michelle started ballet training at the age of four and after moving with her family to England at age 15 was accepted by London's Royal Academy of Dance.
However, due to a back injury she changed her career to acting and achieved fame as the girlfriend of James Bond in "Tomorrow Never Dies". She is the highest paid Asian actor and co-starred with Ziyi Zhang in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha".
Zoe Saldana
If you want a living example of globalization you need to look no further than Zoe Soldana. Her father is Dominican and her mother Puerto Rican but her ancestry includes an exotic mix of other bloods – Lebanese, Indian, Irish and Jamaican. Her full name is Zoe Yadira Nazario Zaldana and she was born in Queens, New York. At the age of ten she moved with her parents to the Dominican Republic where she studied ballet until she was 17 when her family returned to America. This is where it all began. First she joined The Faces, a drama group with elements of dance, and while there she taught teenagers a healthy lifestyle. It was here that she was discovered by a talent agency.
The producers of "Center Stage" were looking for an actress-dancer and Zoe got the part. The film came out in 2000 and led to a succession of movie roles including "Crossroads" in which she appeared with another ballet trained dancer Britney Spears, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Star Trek" and, of course, "Avatar". After Zoe was colored blue and got a tail she gave an interview to a Russian magazine:
GRAZIA: You studied ballet for a long time. Why did you decide to go into movies?
ZS: I'll tell you how: I was dreaming of the Bolshoi Theatre! But I knew I was not good enough to dance as well as I wanted. I tried for ten years and then realized it was a talent from God that is not given to everyone. Of course, the decision was very difficult for me. Ironically, my first film "Center Stage" – was about ballet and this seemed very symbolic – it was like saying goodbye to my old life and starting a new one."
Such a farewell awaits all dancers and I wish every one to have such a successful career as Zoe after they retire from ballet.
Elisabeth Moss
Actress Elisabeth Moss was born Los Angeles, the city where everything is somehow related to films and the janitor is not a really janitor but an actor-in-waiting and the waitress is not really a waitress but a future star of the screen.
However, Elisabeth took a different course and studied ballet. At the age of eight she appeared in her first TV movie "Bar Girls" but continued to study at the School of American Ballet Theatre in New York. From 1992 to 1995 she appeared in seven episodes of the TV series "Picket Fences" while continuing lessons with Susan Farrell at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
Real fame came with the role of Peggy Olson in the "Mad Men" for which she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, but except for us, few will remember that she once danced in "The Nutcracker" with the Joffrey Ballet and "Swan Lake" with New York City Ballet.
Alexander Godunov
Alexander Borisovitch had a life as dramatic as any role he played. He joined the Bolshoi Ballet in 1971 and rose to principal dancer but also became well known in the Soviet Union as a movie actor and in 1974 played Vronsky in Anna Karenina.
In 1979 while on tour with the Bolshoi Ballet in New York City Godunov asked for political asylum. The KGB retaliated by putting his wife Ludmila Vlasova on a plane to Moscow. US President Jimmy Carter and Soviet leader Leonid Brehznev became involved and the flight was held up while the US State Department tried to ascertain if she was going back to the Soviet Union voluntarily.
US diplomats came to the airport with a US passport already prepared for Mila but she said she wanted to return to Moscow and after a three day delay the flight was allowed to depart. Alexander Borisovitch tried to get his wife back but without success and the two became known as the Romeo and Juliet of the Cold War.
Godunov joined American Ballet Theatre on such a huge salary that the entire company called a six-month strike! In 1980 ABT appointed Baryshnikov as artistic director. Back home at the Riga Choreography School Godunov and Baryshnikov were friends but in America they were competitors. Godunov continued to dance as principal until 1982 when they quarreled and he left ABT.
He spent some time travelling with his own troupe and dancing as guest artist with ballet companies around the world until a meeting with the movie star Jacqueline Bisset opened the gates to Hollywood. Although Jacqueline and Alexander had a long-standing romance he continued to love his far-away wife Mila. His most prominent movie role was in "Die Hard" with Bruce Willis.
Alexander Borisovitch Godunov died in West Hollywood, California, in 1995 at the age of only 45. Although he requested his ashes to be scattered in his three homelands – in Moscow, Riga and Los Angeles – he did not get his last wish and his American manager dispersed his ashes into the Pacific Ocean. There is a memorial at Gates Mortuary in Los Angeles engraved with the epitaph "His future remained in the past."
Summer Glau
Texas born actress Summer Glau received a ballet company scholarship and was admitted to the San Antonio Academy of Ballet. To accommodate her ballet training she was home-schooled from grades 3 to 12. In addition to her classical ballet Summer studied tango and flamenco.
"I danced classical ballet all my life. It was my destiny. I was known only as a dancer and thought I'd do it all my life" said Summer.
However, a serious ankle injury ended her dancing career and in 2002 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
It so happened that her dancing ambitions were not entirely dashed and her debut as an actress was as a ballerina in an episode of the "Angel" series "Waiting in the Wings" in which she danced "Giselle". She then worked on the ballet film "The Maid" which was seen by no one!
Summer became famous as the cyborg killer Cameron in "The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". She also appeared again as Cameron in the seventh episode of the series "The Demon Hand" where she dances in a ballet for which she herself found the music and choreographed the dance. Schwarzenegger stand aside, look and learn:
Naomi Campbell
We have found this black panther's weak spot… and yes, it's ballet!
On her visits to Russia she is to be seen in the audience at the Bolshoi Ballet and if this is not enough to qualify her as a true lover of our beautiful art, we can now reveal that she actually trained to be a dancer.
Her mother Valerie Campbell is a former ballet dancer of Afro-Jamaican descent and while she toured Europe with with the contemporary dance troup Fantastica a nanny was engaged to take care of little Naomi. At the age of 10 she was accepted into London's famous Italia Conti Academy stage school where she studied ballet. She continued her training at the London Academy of Performing Arts but as she grew taller a career in ballet did not look a promising future.
Fortunately, at the age of 15, while window shopping in Covent Garden, she was spotted by the head of the Synchro model agency. Naomi decided to become a full-time model and signed with Elite Model Management. As we all know, she went on to become one of the most sought after fashion models of all time and adding to her talents Naomi occasionally performs as an actress and a singer.

Since you're here, you're probably a lot like us: creative, practical, caring, and ready to inspire a better way. We are inspired to do things right and keep things simple. We believe in treating everyone as if they were our friend, protecting our environment as if it were our home, and finding creative solutions to over complicated challenges. In short, we are Way Basics. Paper based storage furniture became the foundation of our initial introduction for the brand. Our founder, Jimmy, thought it would be fun to create a recycling bin made from recycled paper, since it's one of the most commonly recycled materials. It comes flat and then pops open like paper grocery bag, but a much fancier design. You can throw all your recyclables in it, and then recycle the entire thing - then pop another one open and the recycling starts again. It's simple and elegant.
In our packages, you won't find mysterious collections of screws and nails, or complicated diagrams and instructions. That's because you can put our unique zBoards together without tools or hardware. Super-strong 3M brand adhesive strips let you fit the pieces neatly together. Just peel, stick, and you're done.
We treat the people of the world as our family. We want you to be safe and live the healthiest life possible. You can rest assured that our products aren't polluting the air inside your home, as there are no VOCs or formaldehyde in our products. VOCs are chemicals that become a gas at room temperature, such as formaldehyde. Products made with those chemicals will release the gas into the air, a process called off-gassing, and if high concentrations of formaldehyde are off-gassed and breathed in, it could cause health problems. We also use a water-based glue that is completely recyclable.
Very, very strong. We use only 3M industrial-strength heavy-duty adhesive tape on our products. To take full advantage of all that sticking power and get optimum adhesion, make sure your bonding adhesive surfaces are clean, dry, and properly joined. It works best if you put together your furniture in a room that's between 70° F to 100° F (21° C to 38° C). This super-tape's bonds get stronger during the first 24 hours, so we recommend that you let your furniture sit in place for the first day.
Our patented manufacturing process turns this post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong paperboards that weigh 62% less than particle board with unmatched quality and durability. zBoards are the wave of the future thanks to the basic principles of being simple, fun, practical, and made from one of the simplest materials ever - paper.
It's very strong indeed! zBoards are made from multiple, overlapping layers of paperboard and corrugated paper that combine to withstand tremendous pressure. We like to describe the zBoard as the "carbon fiber of paper. " A cube has a recommended max weight of 50 lbs.
Yes, cubes are designed to be modular and can be arranged any way to fit your space and create your own organization system.
Way Basics Cubes are the perfect storage solution for any room in your home, kids love them, and they even find their way into the work environment.
zBoards are made from post-consumer recycled paper and do not consume additional natural resources like trees and the enormous amounts of water needed to make virgin paper. Way Basics furniture also does not "off-gas" or contain formaldehyde and VOCs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the top enforcers of the nation's civil rights laws said Friday government should be responsible for automatically registering citizens to vote by using existing databases to compile lists of all eligible residents in each jurisdiction.
The proposal by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, chief of the Justice Department's civil rights division, follows an election with breakdowns that forced voters in many states to wait in line for hours.
In remarks at George Washington University law school, Perez said census data shows that of 75 million adult citizens who failed to vote in the 2008 presidential election, 60 million were not registered and therefore ineligible to cast a ballot.
Perez says one of the biggest barriers to voting in this country is an antiquated registration system.
President Barack Obama has said the problem must be dealt with and "we in the Justice Department ... have already begun discussing ways to address long lines and other election administration problems, whether through proposed legislation, executive action and other policy measures," Perez said in prepared remarks. He welcomed his audience to contribute suggestions.
"For too many people in our democracy, the act of voting has become an endurance contest," said Perez. "I used to run marathons; you should not feel like you have endured a marathon when you vote."
Perez said the current registration system is needlessly complex and forces state and local officials to manually process a crush of new registrations, most handwritten, every election season. This leaves "the system riddled with errors, too often, creating chaos at the polls," Perez said. "That's exactly what we saw at a number of polling places on Election Day last week."
"Fortunately, modern technology provides a straightforward fix for these problems - if we have the political will to bring our election systems into the 21st century," Perez said. "It should be the government's responsibility to automatically register citizens to vote, by compiling - from databases that already exist - a list of all eligible residents in each jurisdiction. Of course, these lists would be used solely to administer elections - and would protect essential privacy rights." He did not say which level of government should be responsible for implementing such changes.
Perez said the nation also must address the problem that 1 in 9 Americans moves every year, but voter registration often does not move with people who move.
Election officials should work together to establish a program of "permanent, portable registration so that voters who move can vote at their new polling place on Election Day," Perez said. In the meantime, he said states should implement fail-safe procedures to correct voter-roll errors and omissions by allowing every voter to cast a regular, nonprovisional ballot on Election Day.
Perez supported allowing voters to register and cast their ballots on the same day. He called same-day registration "a reform we should be considering seriously" because it would promote voter participation.
He said that in the 2008 presidential election, five of the six states with the highest turnout in the country were states with same-day registration. Preliminary turnout estimates for the 2012 election, he said, show that this pattern will likely continue.
Perez also said:
—The Justice Department will consider whether national standards for counting provisional ballots for federal elections are needed to ensure that voters are not disenfranchised by appearing in the wrong polling place or by poll worker errors.
—It is "time to rethink our largely partisan system of state and local election administration. We risk leaving our election processes open to partisan mischief — or to the perception of such mischief. We should have a serious conversation about solutions to this risk, including developing an entirely professionalized and nonpartisan system for administering our elections."
—Congress should enact legislation that would deter and punish lawbreakers who conduct misinformation campaigns such as telling people that Election Day has been moved or that only one adult per household can cast a ballot. Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Ben Cardin, D-Md., have introduced the measure.

For decades, Lancaster Central School athletes have lived by the popular chant "Once a Redskin, always a Redskin."
But they may soon have to change their tune.
Thursday's news that the district is considering changing the "Redskins" nickname it uses for its sports teams drew reaction from both sides of the passionate topic.
Students at the school took to the Internet to protest the news, with one writing, "You will never take our name, our history or our legacy."
Former Town Supervisor Robert H. Giza, a former sports star at the high school, was a bit more diplomatic.
"I'm the type of person that never wants to hurt somebody," Giza said. "So if someone is offended, I have no problem changing it."
The district, one of three in the state that still uses the name many Native Americans consider a racial slur, has not made a final decision but is looking into the logistics of a change.
District officials have asked coaches at the school which jerseys feature the name as part of the team uniform, as any change would likely require spending money on new uniforms.
They have also begun to form a committee to formally explore the measure throughout the upcoming school year.
The move comes in the wake of renewed calls for the Washington Redskins pro football team to change its name. Many Native Americans find the term an offensive reminder of past dealings with white settlers.
Washington owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today that the team would "never change the name."
"It's that simple," he told the newspaper. "NEVER. You can use caps."
Some high schools across New York State, though, haven't been so firm in their positions.
Cooperstown Central School students in May forced a name change at their school, and in recent years two Rochester districts made changes.
Penfield changed its name from the Chiefs to the Patriots and Irondequoit from the Indians to the Eagles.
Canisteo-Greenwood appeared ready to make a change earlier this year but decided to keep "Redskins" after a public outcry and a campaign to remove the school official who suggested it.
Cooperstown, which changed its name to Hawkeyes, even received $10,000 from local Native Americans to defray the costs of new uniforms.
Giza, who was the captain of the football, wrestling and track teams and a member of the school's athletic hall of fame, said he and other athletes at Lancaster believed they were honoring the bravery of Native Americans with the nickname.
But he said he understands why many Native Americans object.
"I don't think the intent was to ever hurt someone originally," Giza said. "These are different times. I never thought about it that way, but if other people do, I can respect that."
There is no word on what nickname Lancaster would choose if it drops "Redskins," or even how it would come up with a new name. But one thing is certain as the issue moves along throughout the next school year.
"I know there is going to be a lot of feelings on both sides," Giza said.

Reuters reports on what some may see as a touching display of gratitude: "Gazans say 'Thank you Iran' after Israel conflagration."
Gazans offered very public thanks to Iran on Tuesday for helping them in this month's fight against Israel, when Iranian-made missiles were fired out of the Palestinian enclave towards Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
"Thank you Iran", said large billboards on three major road junctions in the Gaza Strip – the first time there has been such public acknowledgement of Iran's role in the arming of Islamic militants in the tiny territory.
This is one of the signs:
The message was written in Arabic, English, Hebrew and Farsi. The posters also depicted the Iranian Fajr 5 rockets that were used for the first time to target Israel's two largest population centres. …
The billboards were not signed, but a senior official with the militant group Islamic Jihad, Khader Habib, said it was only natural to show gratitude for Iran's role in the conflict.
"Iranian rockets struck at Tel Aviv. They reached out to Jerusalem. Therefore it was our duty to thank those who helped our people," he told Reuters.
Of course, Iran didn't only supply Hamas with the rockets that were fired after the Israelis began their bombardment; rather, the rockets that Gaza has been firing for years, and that were the cause of the recent conflict, came from Iran, too. Until now, Iran and Hamas have been relatively coy about their partnership, but they seem to have come out of the closet:
Israel has always asserted that arch-foe Tehran supplied Gaza with weapons, but until the latest conflict both Iran and Gaza's dominant Islamist group Hamas had side-stepped the issue, acknowledging only financial backing and warm political ties.
During the eight-day conflagration, the Iranian speaker of parliament, Ali Larijani, said Iran was "honoured" to have provided Gaza with military aid. Following the ceasefire, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal thanked Iran for arms and funding.
The public statements appeared aimed at dispelling speculation that the mainly Sunni Muslim Gaza Strip was shutting the door on Shi'ite Iran and turning instead to neighbouring Egypt for support and protection.
Well, maybe. But I suspect the reason is simpler. The recent conflict is seen around the Muslim world as a great victory for Hamas and for Gaza, and Iran wanted to take a bow and get its share of the credit. An Israeli analyst thinks Iran made a mistake by acknowledging its role as an arms supplier to terrorists:
Israeli analyst Meir Javedanfar said he thought the Iranians would regret telling the world they supplied Hamas with arms.
"Now that such high-ranking officials openly admit to having supplied weapons to groups in Gaza, the job of isolating Iran will be even easier than before," said Javedanfar, an Iranian expert at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya.
Somehow I doubt that Iran will see any negative fallout from this public acknowledgement of its long-known role as a key supplier of arms to terrorist groups.
PAUL ADDS: Maybe Israel should violate the cease fire long enough to take out those billboards.

This is helpful in situations that require backup of data and/or settings or when troubleshooting. In certain situations, additional debug files may be requested. This is typically done using the FTP protocol but other options exist depending on your device type and current configuration.
Refer to the instructions below which cover FTP or SCP, download via web interface (if available), and via the Command Line Interface (CLI) (if available).
To begin, here is a list of what files are available from each card:
- Web/SNMP Card (AP9606)
- Available file includes: event.txt
- Network Management Card 1 (AP9617, AP9618, AP9619)
- Available files include: event.txt, data.txt, and config.ini
- Network Management Card 2 (AP9630, AP9631, AP9635)
- Available files include: event.txt, data.txt, config.ini, debug.txt, dump.txt, select UPS debug files (v6.0.6 and higher only)
File Transfer Protocol - All Network Management Cards or Web/SNMP Card
Please follow the procedure below for FTP instructions on v3.X.X, v5.X.X, and v6.X.X firmware versions. These same steps could also be used for SCP in some form.
1.) Open a command prompt (In a Windows environment: Start > run > "cmd") or other client that supports the FTP protocol.
2.) Change directories to the directory that you want the files stored in. Generally you'd use the cd command in most command line tools. If using a GUI FTP client, this may not be necessary.
3.) Type ftp<space><IP address of Network Management Card>. Press enter.
4.) Log into the Network Management Card with an Administrator login.
5.) Type bin. Press enter. (This will change into binary transfer mode, as opposed to ASCII.)
6.) Type hash. Press enter. (This will display hash marks - # - on the screen to indicate data transfer).
7.) At your command prompt, type get config.ini. Press enter.
8.) *If using Network Management Card 2 only, files are now stored in the /logs directory on the card. Even so, backwards compatibility is built in so that these files can be retrieved from the root directory. Alternatively, you can also change to the logs directory to get the files. To do so, type cd logs.
9.) Type get<space>data.txt. Press enter.
10.) Type get<space>event.txt. Press enter.
11.) Optional: If requested to do so, change to the /dbg directory by typing cd<space>/dbg and type get<space>debug.txt and/or get<space>dump.txt.
12.) The files have now been downloaded and are saved to the directory that was specified in step 2.
13.) Type bye and exit out of your command prompt or FTP client.
Network Management Card 2 (AP9630/31/35) Only - v6.0.6 and higher - How to Export Logs (data.txt, event.txt, or config.ini only) via the web interface
Alternatively, if files are requested by technical support, a single debug file download, including event.txt and data.txt with many other files can be obtained via the web interface under About->Support->Generate Logs and subsequently Download logs. This same generation/download can be completed via the logzip CLI command and then FTP/SCP to download the single file from the /dbg directory.
Proceed below if only event.txt, data.txt, and config.ini are required.
1.) Log into the Network Management Card via a supported web browser.
2.) Navigate to the Logs menu and choose either Data->Log or Event->Log.
3.) Select the floppy disk icon, as shown below and you can export either data.txt or event.txt directly from the web interface to your local computer from the disk icon in their respective menus.
4.) Choose a location on your local computer to save the file with the dialog box that pops up.
5.) For config.ini, you navigate to Configuration->General->User Config File and select the download button, shown below.
After selecting Download, a dialog box should appear for you to save your file to your local computer.
Network Management Card 2 (AP9630/31/35) Only - v6.0.6 and higher - How to Export "Debug File Download" via Command Line Interface (CLI)
These steps are helpful if web access is unavailable or allowed.
1.) Connect to the Network Management Card 2 via the CLI (telnet, SSH, or local console).
2.) Issue the logzip command. During this process, the Network Management Card will generate a file called debug_<serial number of card>.tar.
Generating files
Compressing files into /dbg/debug_ZA123456789.tar
E000: Success
3.) Now the .tar file needs to be retrieved. Connect to the card via FTP or Secure CoPy. Log in via your preferred method and verify the file is is present in the /dbg directory.
Example (via FTP)
220 AP8841 Network Management Card AOS v6.1.3 FTP server ready.
User (10.10.10.96:(none)): apc
331 User name okay, need password.
Password: <hidden>
230 User logged in, proceed.
ftp> bin
200 TYPE Command okay.
ftp> hash
Hash mark printing On ftp: (2048 bytes/hash mark) .
ftp> cd /dbg
250 CWD requested file action okay, completed.
ftp> ls
200 PORT Command okay.
150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
226 Closing data connection.
ftp: 33 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 16.50Kbytes/sec.
After verifying the file is present, download it. Change your local directory prior, if necessary. (This can be done by using the LCD ftp command.)
ftp>get <space>debug_ZA123456789.tar
150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
226 Closing data connection.
ftp: 2048 bytes received in 2.31 Seconds 16.50Kbytes/sec.
4.) Locate the file for storage or to provide to technical support.

Two Years Later: Rebuilding a Resilient Future for Haiti
Rick Fedrizzi
President, CEO & Founding Chairman
U.S. Green Building Council
This article is cross-posted from the Huffington Post.
Two years ago this week, Haiti was hit by the catastrophic earthquake that killed more than 315,000 people. Today, the work to rebuild this poorest country in the Western Hemisphere has barely gotten started.
According to the U.S. Department of State, the U.N. has called this earthquake the largest urban disaster in modern history, affecting 3 million people, displacing 1.5 million and creating 10 million cubic meters of rubble. Two years later, while some significant steps have been made – less than half of those originally displaced still remain in camps, half of the 10 million cubic meters of rubble has been removed and USAID has provided approximately $108 million for emergency shelter and shelter solutions – we need to work faster and do so much more.
I've always said the work we do to make our buildings green is about people and making their lives better. That is why the U.S. Green Building Council, along with global architectural firm HOK as the pro-bono design partner, have been working to design and construct Project Haiti, which is aiming to be a LEED Platinum orphanage and children's center in Port au Prince. In an effort to show the children of Haiti that their lives are valued, they deserve to breathe clean air and they are cared about, it will provide for the immediate health and emotional needs of orphans and offer a pathway to adoption. And today, we are proud to release the renderings of Project Haiti, the first of many steps toward our end goal.
This building is our commitment to live up to our ideal. Project Haiti will provide a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. HOK's sustainable design strategies are sensitive to the culture and history of Haiti, while at the same time including passive elements that require minimal maintenance and are not dependent on mechanical systems. Aspects such as natural ventilation, a safe water supply, an on-site power generator that uses solar, wind and biofuel and biomimetic design features will all be incorporated to create a building that is environmentally and financially sustainable for the people of Haiti.
I have witnessed for myself the amazing resiliency of the Haitian people who wake up every morning in the tent cities, wash themselves in a bowl of water and do whatever they can in the oppressive heat and sun to make an honest day's wage. But nothing has had more of an impact than meeting the hundreds of orphans that have made Project Haiti not just a professional obligation, but a personal commitment.
As we soberly acknowledge this two-year mark, I'm asking that you reflect on the efforts being made to rebuild Haiti and engage in USGBC's work with Project Haiti. Whether you simply learn more about the project, make a donation or spread the word, every little bit helps to get us to our goal to do just this one critical thing. I guarantee it helps us show the developing world that sustainable building practices are not just for the well-off, but for everyone.

Why is light-gauge steel stud construction not even mentioned in this story on Haiti? This technology spares the forests, is impervious to termites, excels in ability to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes, has an enviable fire insurance rating, and can virtually eliminate the need for specialized construction crews?

Because their job is just to "LOOK" like if they were trying hard to work on the issue ;) I totally agree with you, this drawing show anything but an Orphanage... this whole Haiti purpose projects is just a money concern... never to the Haitians of course! if anyone did really care they would of done it some time ago! my self, I have an Ecological House Project for 3 years now and I have knocked many doors trying to finance it but here we are, just looking at this "nice drawings show" or others that show only the most basic LEED applications, known for years and not even congruent with the issue they are talking about! oh well, complaint? why? they will get the money regardless and the real helpful projects, 100% resistant to extreme natural forces, net zero energy building, healthy and environmentally responsible to name a few of my projects characteristics, can sit on the bench... that is how it goes VerneReplyDelete

Real Estate Investment Trust – Building Your Bank Account
Have you ever wished that you could just make the right investments to the point where you could sit back and watch them grow? Perhaps you are not doing the right things with your money.
Many people who are looking for a long-term way to see constant increases on their investments choose to look into the REIT market as a way of seeing their money go further.
REITs are real estate investment trusts. In many cases, investors purchase REITs then sit back and let the monthly dividend check come in. From time to time they are able to purchase more shares and then watch larger divided checks come in.
The reason many people like REITs is that for the most part they are long-term investment options that are strong and stable. Since they are based on real estate holdings, and property always has value, they are a wise investment choice.
In the short term, this is a nice way to see a little money grow in your account from month to month. In the long term, if you play things right, it could end up meaning a lot of money down the road to the point where you have enough to live off of.
Having enough to live off of doesn't happen over night. So, you need to start investing now to allow that little bundle of money time to grow into a major nest egg.
Begin by getting to know REITs. You should always have a good grounding on any type of investment that you are thinking of putting your money into. After all this is your hard earned cash you are putting into someone else's hands. Make sure you know what they are going to do with it and that you are confident they are going to take good care of it.
While you could search all over for the information you need, it's easier to do one stop shopping at REITBuyer.com. They are an investing real estate broker that also has a website that is meant to be the place to get all the information you need on the REIT market.
If you have never worked with REITs before, you can begin with the basic education on what REITs are and how they work. Then you can progress into the research section that will help you find REITs in your area of interest and find out how they have been doing as well as any analysis of those REITs and what they should be doing for the future.
When you're ready to make a purchase, you can also use the REITBuyer.com website to buy and sell your REITs and keep track of your portfolio.

HILLSVILLE –– It is, for all intents and purposes, a scrimmage. A final chance to see what still could use some work before the real games start – things like ball security inside the red zone, and prevent pass coverage in the final minute.
And it was a good thing that kinks in those aspects of the game haven't been completely ironed out. Otherwise a huge crowd would have been robbed of a thrilling finish in Carroll County's 21-19 benefit game win Friday over Galax at Tommy Thompson Field.
Carroll County took the lead with an 80-yard fumble return and then preserved the advantage with a goal line stand, but Galax nearly pulled off a miracle with a last-minute Hail Mary before the Cavaliers finally held on for the win.
Though Carroll County scored on its second offensive series, the night couldn't have started much worse for the Cavaliers, who lost their lone returning lineman in the first quarter. Hunter Grubb, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound tackle drawing interest from several college programs, suffered what was believed to be ligament damage to his right knee. He emerged from the Caves' locker room after halftime in workout gear.
"We don't have much depth, and with Hunter going down early, we had kids out there who just aren't ready to play yet," said Carroll County coach Tom Hale. "[Trainers] said they think maybe he tore his ACL, but you don't know for sure until you get the MRI. Gosh, there's a kid, his parents put him in state-of-the-art knee braces, and the first daggone game…"
Galax was leading 13-7 in the third quarter and was driving for what could have been a clinching touchdown when, from the Cavalier 9-yard line, Tide quarterback Terrance Mazon was chased down in the backfield by linebackers Logan Hodges and Jordan Lamb. The ball popped loose and was scooped up by Aaron Willard, who rambled 80 yards for a touchdown that put Carroll on top 14-13 after Ulises Moreno's PAT.
"That really gave us momentum," Hale said. "If they score right there it's a whole different ballgame. That was definitely the turning point of the game."
A dropped pass at the Cavalier 10-yard line ended Galax's next drive on downs, and Carroll County marched 75 yards in 12 plays, taking a 21-13 lead when Moreno scored on a physical 6-yard run, then added the extra point.
"Too many mistakes," said Mark Dixon following his debut as the Maroon Tide's coach. "You can't win that way. There are phases of the game that we haven't paid a lot of attention to, but then there are other areas of the game that I hope people can see we are making strides. We're getting there."
Galax drove to a first-and-goal situation at the Cavalier 4, but Mazon was stopped at the 1 on fourth down with 2:59 to play, apparently ending any Galax comeback hopes.
Carroll County got out of the shadow of its own goal post and was able to kill two minutes before punting to the Tide at the Carroll 46 with just 56 ticks left. Galax needed but one play to cover the distance as Jerad Brown was able to get behind the Cavalier defense and haul in a 46-yard Mazon pass for a touchdown with 43 seconds to play, trimming the lead to two points.
Hoping to send the game into overtime, Galax's two-point conversion fizzled with a fumbled snap.
"The main things now are that these guys played their hearts out, and where do we go from here?" Dixon said. "Do we go in the tank, or do we look at this as a positive?"
"It was two teams going after it tonight," Hale said. "My hat is off to Galax. We made plays when we had to with that goal line stand and picking up that fumble."
Blake Bowman's 27-yard punt return to the Galax 33 set up the Cavaliers' initial score, a 3-yard Logan Hodges run seven plays later for a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Galax answered with a 12-play, 65-yard drive. Frankie Shalabi and Jacob Fisher both made fourth-down catches to sustain the march, which ended with Mazon's 5-yard run. Matthew Wright's PAT knotted the score at 7-7 late in the first period.
A spectacular 33-yard interception return by Brown sparked the go-ahead drive for Galax. Deion George made a 25-yard catch to the 19 on third-and-18, and Mazon scored from the 14 four plays later to put the Tide in front 13-7 following the missed PAT.
Both coaches saw plenty of work to be done before each starts the regular season this Friday.
The Maroon Tide outgained the Cavaliers 324-222 in total offense and churned out 19 first downs to Carroll's nine. Mazon completed nine passes to five different receivers on 21 attempts for 154 yards. Jordan Vaughan led the Galax ground attack with 123 yards on 20 carries.
"We've got to get a whole lot better," said Hale. "We play a real tough schedule, and we've got to get a whole lot better."
Carroll County rushed 42 times for 196 yards, led by fullback Jacob Mollet with 68 yards on 10 attempts. Moreno added 54 yards on 10 carries.
"My frustration is with us as a staff," Dixon said. "We had too many turnovers, penalties, things you can't do and expect to win. They played their hearts out and did what we asked, but somewhere we have got to find discipline. If we don't do that, it's going to be a long year."

It has been awhile, a very long while, since I have posted here. I hope your knitting has been going well. My breast cancer came back , not in the breast but brain bone and lung. I had a chest x-ray not long ago and it didn't show any lesions, whereas before starting chemo I had a pet scan which showed them. I am feeling good though, today is the best day I have had in several weeks, thank God. I can say I have missed my creative side. My mind was so fuzzy. I knew I was feeling better when I was going through some yarn and ideas started to flood my mind, and I was pulling yarn . Healing is an interesting process. One of the things I have found interesting during this process is LARP's (Live Action Role Play, it is a game where you have a character you develop that you act out). There is one in Michigan that I thought looked like fun. I found out about it through some friends I met that LARP. Creativity can come in many ways, and I enjoy how my own creativity is stimulated by other types of and others creativity. This LARP is KANAR and is set in a medieval time period.
I was planning on going to weeklong right before TNNA, but with my cancer coming back being fuzzy headed and mobility have been issues. I ended up having radiation to my brain for 10 sessions, then after that they started chemo. By the time I started chemo, I needed to use a walker as it was painful to walk. Then after the first cycle of chemo my blood counts took a nose dive, I ended up getting platelets and two units of blood, and being in the process of getting pain medicine managed so that my mobility is not gone. That has been an issue for me, because of the bone cancer. Walking has been difficult because of bone pain. Now it is much better, the medicine is getting fine tuned and I am making progress.
It was pretty scary for me when I was fuzzy headed as it affected my creativity. One thing that I was thankful for with looking at going to the LARP weeklong was that looking at the medieval dresses was very stimulating creatively. So was planning the story of my character. I find that when I am in a slump looking at things outside knitting can flood me with new ideas for knits. Don't be afraid with your knitting to look at things OUTSIDE knitting, for inspiration. you may see color combinations you like, textures, silhouettes, drape, line, the list goes on. Color I suppose is the most obvious but enjoy the things around you with an open mind and eye as to what is beautiful to you. You can apply this to your knitting and it will empower you.
To my family and friends, I love you so very much. Thank you for all you do for me.
To my knitting friends who have been praying for me or sending good karma my way, thank you so much! I am making progress and I appreciate what you are doing for me. Please keep it up!
To my friends at week-long, I wish you a happy and full week. I am so sorry I could not join you.
To those going to TNNA, I am sorry I will miss you there. Next-year my goal is to be there.
Peace and Knitting, JoLene

Apple tweaks T&Cs for Blighty customers
Famed code of silence (somewhat) broken by OFT
Apple has agreed to rejig its terms and conditions to make them "clearer and fairer" for UK consumers, after the Office of Fair Trading raised concerns about them.
The OFT confirmed in a statement this morning that it had identified a number of areas where the Mac, iPod and iPhone vendor's contracts of agreement with its customers needed to be tweaked.
It said it had raised concerns under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulation 1999 (UTCCRs). Apple agreed with the OFT's findings and said it would revise its standard conditions.
The Cupertino-based firm said it would no longer exclude liability for faulty or mis-described goods. Apple added it would ensure its conditions were consistent with consumer rights under the Distance Selling Regulations, and that they would be drafted in plain and intelligible language.
It also said that the conditions would not allow changes to be made to products and prices after an agreement has been made.
"The contract or terms of use between a company and a consumer, whether they are found online or on paper, must be clear, fair and easy to understand. In particular, it is important that consumers are given clear and accurate information about their consumer rights in case things go wrong," said OFT consumer markets legal director Jason Freeman.
"We have worked closely with Apple to secure these changes and we believe they will improve confidence and clarity for consumers."
The move comes a few months after Apple was accused of attempting to gag a traumatised iPod user from Liverpool, whose MP3 player burst into flames after being dropped.
The European Commission later probed an outbreak of flaming iPhone and iPod incidents across Europe. All of which prompted some observers to ponder whether Apple might consider lowering its famed code of silence over UK consumers. ®

The Bears did their part on Sunday, beating Arizona 28-13.
They also got a little help. Which means that in Week 17, the Bears (9-6) will need to win at Detroit (4-11) and have Green Bay (11-4) beat Minnesota (9-6) to earn the NFC's final wild card spot. The final wild card will open at either San Francisco or Green Bay.
In Sunday's win, the Bears again got a lot of help from their defense. Zack Bowman scored on a 1-yard fumble return and Charles Tillman scored on a 10-yard interception as the Bears went to 6-0 in games when their defense has scored.
Matt Forte ran for a touchdown before leaving the game with an ankle injury. Brandon Marshall also caught an 11-yard touchdown pass.

Giving all around at Alternative Gift Market
Staff writer
Several local charities, businesses, churches, and people are pulling together and asking Marion County residents to consider giving a different kind of gift for Christmas this year.
Patrons of the third annual Alternative Gift Market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Marion City Building can donate to a charity in a loved one's name to share holiday spirit with those in need.
"It's a way for people to do something good for someone else, and take care of their Christmas shopping," event coordinator Jackie Volbrecht said. "You can either donate for yourself or for someone you love."
The gift market works like this; local churches, groups, or people volunteer to run a booth at the market for one of 36 charities. Booths this year will be run by Circles of Hope, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, First Mennonite Brethren Church, and Eastmoor United Methodist Church, to name a few. Those running the booths must create a handmade ornament based on the charity they represent.
Those who attend the market and donate to a certain charity will receive the ornament representing that charity to give as a gift or hang on their own trees.
"The ornaments are so cool, some people have some great ideas,' Volbrecht said. "The ornaments can be silly, big, small, and as ornate as each group wants. Each must have either information about the charity on it or the name."
Volbrecht's favorite ornaments from previous years include an ornament made by Marion Girl Scouts. The ornament is a plate, which says one and seven people go to bed hungry worldwide on it with a little silver plastic fork and spoon on either side.
Volbrecht said her grandkids' Christmas trees as well as hers is covered with such ornaments.
"The first year they were like really Grandma? Now they look forward to seeing what charity and who I've helped in their name," Volbrecht said.
There are 400 similar markets held around the country that will donate around $40,000 to each of the charities, Volbrecht said.
"Charities are chosen by a panel and 100 percent of the money must go to actual projects, and not administrative costs," she said. "This means all your money will go to helping the people you've donated the money to. I feel better knowing my money goes to them and not some executive."
This year's charities include chicks and seed for impoverished farming families in Ethiopia, food for American or Canadian children, vaccinations for children in India, preserving the rainforest in South America, safe homes for orphans in Mexico, and dozens of others. Volbrecht said this is the main or only fundraising opportunity for the charities.
A food court will be hosted by Sharon's Rollin' Kitchen of Peabody, where people can donate the change from their meal to Marion County Emergency Food Bank. Café Justo will be providing fair trade market coffee to drink and sell. Funds from bottles of water sold at the event will go toward hand-dug wells in Uganda.
"It's a great way to give something special, to get to learn about those less fortunate, and what a way to be able to give this time of the year," Volbrecht said.
Booth sponsor Carolann McFarland has been participating in the event since its founding. She said she has the best time looking through the charities and coming up with creative ornaments to represent them.
Her charity is called Rabbits, Bees, and Trees, and they provide those items to residents of Haiti still recovering from the 2010 earthquake.
"I'm going to have a live rabbit at our booth for people to pet, and honey sticks to sample," she said.
She is working on a way to tie all three items into one ornament.
"I've got a few ideas, and a trip to Hobby Lobby planned for this weekend," she said.
McFarland said she always leaves with at least 10 new ornaments to put on her own tree.
"It's a win, win, win," she said. "Apart from being a great way to give, it's a unique gift that everyone will feel good about," she said.

Hoa Tâm, a family friend, came to visit a few days ago and she gave us a very useful tip on how to avoid bánh tét food waste after the Lunar New Year celebrations. What is bánh tét you ask? It's a Vietnamese savory rice cake (at times sweetened with bananas). It's made primarily from glutinous rice, which is rolled in a banana leaf into a thick, log-like cylindrical shape, with a mung bean or mung bean and meat center, then boiled. It's a must-have traditional food during Tết, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year in Southern Vietnam. We've been given a lot of the logs this season; it's a way to demonstrate the importance of rice in the Vietnamese culture. I told Hoa Tâm my fear that we'd have a lot of leftovers and didn't want to waste all the food. She then give uswonderful trick; if you have a lot of these rice cakes as e do, look no further!
Simply slice them and pan-fry them. Once crispy, drizzle with nước mắm chay (if you're a vegetarian) or fish sauce. It's as simple as that. Thanks, dear Chi Hoa Tâm!
I had never heard of or tasted muhammara before until I met the folks at California Lavash. Every time I met with their team, I would hear how exquisite it tasted. In all seriousness, when you hear about a combination of walnuts, charred red bell peppers, fresh pomegranate seeds, lemon juice, garlic, mint, salt and pepper, it's difficult to imagine how it couldn't taste amazing!
To thicken the texture of the dip, I added bread and extra virgin olive oil, and balanced the flavors with dates, a hint of ground cumin and red chili powder. You could use it as a dip served with toasted pita bread or cucumber and celery sticks but in my case, I used it as a spread for a roasted lamb sandwich. It was delicious!
In Vietnamese, "tương muối ớt lá chanh" would literally translate to "sauce salt chile lime leaves". It's a spicy sauce I came up with by using the kaffir lime leaves from our garden. They're so fragrant and very useful in Asian cuisine. I usually use them for making broth, but this time, I blended them with fresh green chiles, coarse sea salt, garlic, limes and a little sugar to balance the flavor of the sauce. I used it as a spicy dipping sauce for crab that I simply steamed.
It's crab season so I stocked up on a lot of crabs that I cracked and stored in sealable bags for making crab cakes and soups in the future.
If you have the space to plant a kaffir lime tree and you're into Asian cooking, go for it; it's a good investment. Plus the plant doesn't take too much space and it's almost maintenance-free.
Making mushroom bruschetta is a great excuse to use leftover bread with earthy, seasonal ingredients. For this version, I started with the regular procedure: I cut day-old bread into large slices, then toasted and rubbed them with garlic. But instead of using the common tomato and basil topping, I spooned on a warm mushroom mixture. I also topped the bruschetta with dry-fried Emmental cheese and drizzled on a spicy green chutney.
The warm mushroom is flavored with onion, celery, Italian parsley, mascarpone cheese, and a drizzle of Riesling wine. You could use the same flavor combination in a savory tart or beggar's purse. Let your imagination run wild!

Alison Smith: Elections Money Can't Buy
Meet 15 Extraordinary People Transforming the Way We Live
When Alison Smith was raising her kids in a small Connecticut town, a developer illegally drained the water from a large marsh adjoining her backyard. "Gradually it dawned on me that he'd broken the wetland regulations. I went to a town meeting and waited for someone to say something. Nobody did. So I voiced my opinions as best I could, red-faced, hesitant, and embarrassed. I found all these other people were thinking the same thing."
Shortly afterward, Smith joined the League of Women Voters, and began working on wetland and recycling issues, first in Connecticut and then in Maine. She became a more confident activist with experience, and by the time the League asked her to help get a campaign finance reform measure on the ballot, she jumped at the chance.
"We've become so used to being disgusted with elections and politicians," says Smith. "We assume that almost anyone who gets in will be corrupt. I didn't know whether the initiative would pass, but I didn't want cynicism to rule my life."
Selected by author and activist Paul Loeb: "An ordinary citizen who found her voice, became a leader, and showed us it's possible to confront the intractable: money in politics."
The initiative offered a Clean Election Option, where candidates who pledged not to take private funding and who raised enough $5 contributions could receive public money to mount a competitive campaign. Smith met with newspaper editorial boards and spoke wherever anyone would have her. "I found that as an ordinary person I had more credibility than the political professionals. When people asked why I was involved, I'd repeat over and over how if we could just break the links between money and politics, we'd begin to have a solution."
The initiative passed with 56 percent of the vote, and changed Maine's politics. By 2010, 80 percent of the state's candidates were participating, and Vermont, Arizona, and Connecticut had launched similar programs. Smith now works with a new generation of activists in Maine to defend, preserve, and strengthen Clean Elections.
"One of the great things," she says, "is that these reforms require citizen participation. For ten years, Maine people have made the system work, supporting Clean Election candidates with qualifying contributions of $5. Without the pressures of fundraising, candidates put a premium on voter contact. Once elected, lawmakers know that their only debt is to the voters. Although our law has come under attack, Maine people always rise to defend their Clean Election system.
"As former U.S. Senator from Maine, Ed Muskie, once said, 'Campaign finance reform is not for the short-winded.'"
For more than a decade, a groundbreaking Clean Elections law has helped protect Maine politics from the influence of big money. But what's happening now that big spenders have free rein to influence elections—and what does it mean for the rest of the country?
For nearly 100 years, Montana law prohibited corporate money in politics. Then came the Citizens United decision.
New trends in clean elections.

George Clooney, Alexander Payne talk family drama, 'Descendants'
The other night at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, George Clooney and Alexander Payne discussed their movie, "The Descendants," and its place among "classic family dramas from Oscars past and present." At least, that's how the American Cinematheque billed the event, and they went to the trouble to put together a five-minute reel featuring clips from "Kramer vs. Kramer," "Ordinary People," "Terms of Endearment," "On Golden Pond" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" that was shown before the film.
Since writer-director Payne had told me in an interview last month that he doesn't see many contemporary American films, as the moderator, I was curious just how much he'd have to say about the movies in question. Short answer: Not a whole lot. He did just see "Kramer vs. Kramer" last year, liked it and noticed some parallels between Dustin Hoffman's suddenly single father and Clooney's "backup parent" in "The Descendants."
Then Payne matter-of-factly mentioned that he'd never watched "Ordinary People," and you could hear a loud gasp from the sold-out audience. "We all have gaps," Payne said, shrugging his shoulders. Just in case you were wondering, he has never seen "Beaches," either. Don't look for these gaps to be closed any time soon. He'd much rather be rewatching an Ozu movie, thank you.
Clooney, the Merry Prankster to Payne's prickly pear, was, naturally, more forthcoming. He remembered being 19 years old and seeing Timothy Hutton in "Ordinary People" and thinking seriously for the first time about an acting career. He marveled at Hoffman's manic French-toast-making scene in "Kramer" and called "Mockingbird" a "profoundly important" film to him on a number of levels.
"Atticus Finch ... there was a reluctance to his heroism that I always loved," Clooney said. "And Gregory Peck was the quintessential leading man."
Clooney was at his Lake Como home in Italy with friends the night Peck died. He rounded up his friends and their kids, led them into his screening room and put on "To Kill a Mockingbird."
"And the minute it came on, all these kids were like, 'Oooow ... God! It's black-and-white!' And they immediately hated it. And I was like, 'Shut the ... up.' But it was great because it took them about 15 minutes to get into the rhythm of it, and by the end, they didn't want the movie to end. They were scared. They were scared of Boo Radley and they were caught up in that story. It's such a compliment to that idea of storytelling really does work. And it's something we can't lose sight of as we move into 3-D and everything else we do."

Local auto dealers had their second-best November since 2007, according to statistics from the Illinois secretary of state's office.
In November, there were 4,812 new and used vehicles registered after purchase by Boone, Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago counties.
That was up 11.1 percent from November 2012 and it marked the sixth straight month that registrations after purchase were up more than 10 percent from 2012.
The gains came in both new vehicle sales -- up 11.3 percent -- and used vehicle sales, which were up 11 percent.
With one month still to report, registrations already have topped the full-year totals for 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and will easily pass 2008 when December is released.
Although the Rock River Valley economy hasn't improved much in 2012 -- the unemployment rate of Boone and Winnebago counties was 11 percent in November -- dealers have benefitted from pent-up demand. Many car owners delayed buying as long as possible in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and simply couldn't hold out in 2013.
The secretary of state numbers are a good but imperfect to track the health of auto dealers. The state tracks where cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans are registered after purchase not where they are bought.
So if someone buys a car in Rockford but registers it in Byron it counts as an Ogle County registration.
