The Slam Poet
I express myself with words – written, spoken, and performed. Sometimes I even capture them through the lens of my camera. Before moving back to the Lower 48, I held the Alaska Writer's Guild title of Slam Champion (two years running). My poetry appears in Alaska Women's Speak Quarterly and has been heard by audiences in North Carolina, Alaska, and most recently – New York City.
And I am happy. The secret to my happiness comes from playing by my own set of rules. Rule #7 is why I launched this blog. To hear all 10 Rules catch a performance of The Only Way To Play or read Rules to a Happy Heart. Then join the conversation by answering my favorite question: What rule(s) do you play by?
The Event Producer
When I'm not writing I'm working — for Art Services North in Anchorage, Alaska and myself in Cleveland, Ohio. I design and produce events of all sizes. My theatrical background (lighting and set design, directing, stage and tour management) plus my years of experience in hotels and hospitality make for creative events that people love to attend. And thanks to my trusty laptop and modern technology, I'm able to work from any part of the globe (and often do).
In 2011 I shared the stage with 39 other Top 40 Under 40 winners in Alaska. On my office wall hangs a C. Wayne Hussey Community Service Award, a prestigious honor in my former Alaskan community. And I can bowl a scratch 233 on a really good day!

Does Planet Fitness Have Childcare? Does Donald Trump Grab Pu….
The obvious answer is yes. Planet Fitness is one of the top gyms in the world. They charge a whopping $10 a month for you to come whenever you want, and also offer free tanning beds.
So of course at those rates, they offer childcare. Planet Fitness annual revenue last year was recorded to be at a staggering $3,500. Due to this significant growth, they have decided to offer childcare at all locations.
- Here are some pictures of the facilities Plant Fitness Offers for childcare. This is an example of the outdoor playground…
Does Planet Fitness Have A Sauna?
Oh you bet there is a sauna. The sauna at Planet Fitness is one of the most sophisticated ones we have ever seen in the last 20 years. The sauna is right next to the pool at the gym, and a great place to pop into after you go for a nice swim.
Planet Fitness Kid Friendly
If you are impressed, and also a little intimidated by the fancy playground, don't be alarmed. It's only $2 a month to bring your kid here every single day. If needed, your kids will also be provided with a lot of other perks for no additional cost.
For starters they will be able to enjoy a free cup of water once a day, and also get a free refill compliments of Planet Fitness Childcare management team.
The water is reported to be the healthiest and most refreshing water that currently exists.
Does Planet Fitness Have A Pool?
Many gyms out there are offering sub-par childcare, but as we mentioned, none are as fancy as the Planet Fitness offerings, especially the pool! This year, they have added a variety of outdoor pools, where your kids can relax and enjoy the company of other kids.
Of course planet fitness has a pool, that is like asking, do pigs fly, of course they do. Planet fitness pools are some of the best by far!
The pools are usually only open when it rains, but it is still an amazing deal considering the cost of the membership.
Planet Fitness Pool
Planet Fitness Kid Zone
Now that you know that Planet Fitness does offer childcare, and the amazing perks that are available, I am sure you will be running to sign up tomorrow.
But having your children watched buy a bunch of 18 year olds is not the only tempting thing here, the gym also has amazing equipment for you to get in shape as well.
- Everything from imaginary punching bags, 5 pound dumbbells, to rough paper towels instead of cotton ones, that will cut your face if you wipe yourself.
It's A Great Place For Kids!
On a serious note, Planet Fitness is a good gym that will get the job done if you are just looking to get a workout in.
- Unfortunately, it gets insanely busy during after work hours, lunch time and also early in the morning. This is not a normal busy like other gyms. They get so busy you can barely walk to the water fountain.
- The gym is cheap as all hell, and there is no way in hell they will ever offer childcare. To make things worse, depending on where you live, it can get pretty ghetto as well.
If you are wondering what that means, it's basically people that are in gangs, or will be brining a weapon to the gym. If you are broke as hell, I recommend it, but if you can afford more, go somewhere else.

If kayaker Larry Merrill lived in Weeki Wachee, Florida, paddling for 303 consecutive months (i.e. a quarter century and change) would be somewhat impressive — or if Merrill had begun his span of paddling when he was a mere quarter century old, for that matter. Merrill, however, began his stretch of paddling when he was nearly 50. And he lives in Orrington, Maine, where water is hard for months, which requires either a hard-headed paddler or a paddler with a seriously soft spot for kayaking.
In Maine, just reaching the water can be problematic some months, for there can be three feet of crusted snow. With one step, you plunge into it and snow slips into your boots. With the next step, the ice holds your weight and you struggle to remain upright on that slick surface, all while pulling or carrying your boat and paddle.
Meanwhile, water awaits that can strip you of coordination and strength in mere minutes if you tip and don't have a wet- or drysuit. Even in the right water-wear, if you capsize and can't regain your seat, climbing over stacked ice floes on the shoreline while towing your boat would challenge a Cirque du Soleil acrobat in balmy weather. Then there are the normal vicissitudes of life: flu, a cold, lawyering (Merrill is an attorney), trips that take you away from Maine, a creaky back, Superstorm Sandy, blizzards, black flies, ice clumping on your paddle's blades, the list goes on. Not to mention people wondering what exactly compelled such a streak.
Merrill started his string of paddling months in the most organic way. Whether racing or paddling for fun or to stay fit, he observed that he'd paddled at least once a month for five straight years. So, he made it a point to paddle every month, at least 20 minutes per outing, for a few more years. And then a few more and on and on, but he averages much more than a single outing most months.
"I'll be out half a dozen times in March, about 10 times in April, maybe 15 times in June," Merrill said, "but rarely more than three in January."
Merrill, 73, hopes to continue paddling into his 80s and 90s, both possibilities if the adage, "If you use it, you don't lose it," is right. What can break the string is a stretch of days that are problematic for paddling.
Nowadays, Merrill defines safe weather as above 20 degrees and "not too windy," remembering a day when it was neither:
"It was about 15 degrees and the wind was howling. There was no sunshine. I launched from Verona Island on the Penobscot River. It can get rough there and it was. I wondered what I was doing and was very happy when I put in my 20 minutes on the water."
Last February, there were only two days that met his safety criteria. Somedays, Merrill paddles quite close to his house.
"I live on Fields Pond and the stream that runs out of it stays open most of the time," he said. "I frequently drag the boat across the ice to launch there."
"Stays open" might mean something different to Merrill than a paddler of the same age down in a retiree community on the Gulf Coast.
"There can be a half-inch of ice on the stream, but I run up onto it and break through. I do the icebreaker thing. My weight cracks it."
Sometimes the shelf of ice extending from a river's shoreline is too thick to crack. That's OK by Merrill:
"I do a seal entry," he said. "I get into the boat and scooch ahead. If you thrust your bottom half-forward, it moves the boat with some vigor. You keep doing that and move four or five inches each thrust. Getting out is easier because I get a good head of steam and run up onto it."
Merrill wears a wetsuit, but his hands still chill, which makes loading his kayaks when the paddling is done the most demanding part of his day.
"The most difficult thing is putting the boat back on the car when my hands are cold and the rope is frozen."
He's paddled about 20 different kayaks through his string, still owns 10, and his favorite is a 13-foot-2-inch Baldwin Downriver. All Merrill's kayaks have been closed boats.
"I don't like WBS: web butt syndrome."
Merrill also doesn't like too much freshly fallen snow.
"I've had to drag the boat through waist-level snow. The boat skims over the snow, but I sure don't."
Still, freshly fallen snow hushes the world and Merrill enjoys that "peace and quiet." One winter day, that quiet suddenly ended.
"There was a duck on the edge of the ice. It had been watching my approach, oblivious to an eagle that had been eyeing it. Well, the eagle dove for the duck just as the duck dove into the water to get away from me. That duck escaped because of me and I'm pretty sure that eagle gave me the evil eye."
Whereas Merrill enjoys the solitude and challenge of winter paddling, he misses some former paddling pals.
"A lot of my trips have been with other people. For several years, I'd paddle with friends every New Year's Day. The camaraderie and ritual was wonderful. One is deceased and another can no longer paddle, so I sure miss it."
Of course, there have countless pleasures beyond frosty New Year's Day paddling with pals. Merrill paddles through the golds, scarlets, and oranges of Maine falls, through misty summer mornings, and down rollicking streams each spring. People see him on the water, month after month and season after season and they tell him he's inspirational, but Merrill is skeptical.
"I'm not sure I believe that because I don't think I've inspired anyone to start their own streak."
But Merrill sees his streak as the way to a goal.
"I'd like to do the 16 and a half-mile Kenduskeag Stream Race, the biggest race in the state, when I'm 100."
So, Merrill wrote a little reminder for himself, a couple, waterproof Post-it notes of sorts. He made his kayak paddle and wrote "PADDLE" on one blade and "HARDER" on the other. Since his hundredth birthday is more than another quarter century away, it's wise advice.

Fifteen years ago I awaited your birth. You were late. 8 days late. Which isn't really surprising now that I know you because you really do have a tendency to move extremely slow, but I think you just like taking your time. As you surely did back then.
Being pregnant with you was one of the easiest things I've ever experienced. Awaiting your arrival was one of the hardest. Before I even had my 5 month ultrasound, when they would tell me whether you were a boy or girl, I already knew I wanted a boy. I had hoped and prayed you were a boy.
And that day they told me you were. I was ecstatic. Your father was ecstatic.
I planned and prepared those last four months. You were wanted my dear, you were loved.
Naming you however was a complication I wasn't prepared for. Your father and I had very different ideas of what your name should be. I was the writer. Since I was a kid I sketched out what I would name my kids. I liked strong, classic names. Names that had deep roots in literature and mythology. I wanted to name you Nathaniel. Lucas. Gabriel. Your father wasn't having any of this.
He wanted to name you Johnny. After his favorite guitarist, Johnny Hickman from the band Cracker. That did not go over well with me. We both lost.
During those last few months of pregnancy I found myself standing in your grandmother's kitchen with her and your great-grandfather. We were talking names. They laughed over the fact that we were still having problems naming you. Suddenly a name popped into my head, Charles. I loved the strength of it. How classic it sounded. I loved it.
An odd look came over your grandmother's face when I said the name. I didn't know why but it was a look of melancholy not disgust. It turns out that this was the name of your grandfather's father. Someone I never knew as he had died many years before I ever came around the family. I honestly never knew his name. So I think the fact that I came up with it there in the kitchen that day surprised us all.
It was perfect. I told your father that night and he smiled so big I knew it was the right choice.
We waited a short while to tell your grandfather, it was a surprise. We told him father's day weekend on the way up to the family cottage in Wisconsin. He cried in the car. He was so happy you were going to take the name of his father.
The middle name was a breeze compared to your first name. Both of your grandfather's shared the same first name so that was the logical choice for your middle.
Things proceeded like normal. We eventually found an apartment and moved out of your grandparents a few weeks before you were born. You were due July 2nd. I was kind of excited and hoping you'd make an appearance on the 4th. But those days passed.
It was hotter than Hades.
Your aunt and I shared the same Dr and she had your cousin Mia just a couple of months before you were due. There was an issue with Mia and the Dr was terrified of a repeat performance, thinking your aunt and I were one and the same so she kept a close eye on both of us after that.
There was an issue and I was told you were probably going to have to be born by a C-section. You just refused to make an appearance.
After a week she told me to come in on the 10th. That morning I was sent to Hinsdale Hospital to be induced. All of your grandparents were there at some point or another. I honestly wasn't that scared. I think I was more frightened of the horrible hair I had been sporting the last few weeks and how I'd look in pictures later(horrible, I have proof).
I knew I would love you. I knew you would be fantastic.
After several hours of being induced and you still being the most stubborn baby on the planet, the Dr came and announced she was going to lunch but "in an hour we'll proceed with the C-section". I was too tired and excited to really care by the lunch part. Your dad almost missed me being wheeled into the operating room. He had gone to get something to eat himself. He arrived about one minute before I was to go in.
It didn't take long. You arrived. You were cleaned up and handed to your dad. Who showed you to me and the first words out of my mouth" he has my nose. No one has my nose". Which is true. You and I are the only ones in all of my extended family that has this nose. I have no idea where it came from. Next I noticed you had my mouth.
Later it became a joke that if people really didn't know any better they wouldn't know you were your father's son. You looked like me from day 1. So much like me it was scary. And it was that way through most of your life. The blond hair, the large dark eyes. Now you're starting to look like your dad. Which I think could spell trouble as you go further into your teen years.
We gave you the best of what we had when you were little, you were my one and only. You were so good-natured and sweet. So inquisitive and creative. You still are.
Later things were rough. Your father and I divorced. Though we have always stayed friends, making sure that when we both remarried and had other children our families were close. We just knew it was for the best and we never hated each other. We just grew apart.
After that you had some school difficulties. There were other issues at hand. ADHD and Aspergers. You've always been this amazing child.
I have always loved you. We have always loved you. You've weathered many a storm both personally, emotionally and physically. You've always managed to pull through and I know that you have my strength to persevere through it all. So you always will continue to do so.
I know I've been hard on you, but that's only because I want you to be the best you can be. Even if it means you sometimes hate me.
The teenage years were never something I would be prepared for. The first couple years were the worst because of your conflicting hormones and that always lanky body growing taller and taller. You're 5'8 and towering over me and if you inherited your Grandpa Niemann's genes as we suspect you have, you'll be minimum 6'2.
This year you've had the most amazing growth, both physically and emotionally. I see you getting stronger. I'm starting to see little glimpses into who you may be some day down the road, into the future.
In one month you start High School. And with everything you've gone through I admit I'm a bit scared, but like you I'm excited. Because I think this could be when you come into You.
However it was yesterday you turned 15. You're no longer a little kid. There's such a big difference between 14 and 15. And I'm seeing it now more than I ever thought I could.
I'm proud of you. I enjoy being with you. I'm looking forward to the next few years of you as a teenager and helping you navigate those murky waters. Next year you'll start driving.
But for now…
I will Love you always, no matter what.
Happy Birthday Charlie, you're still one of the most amazing accomplishments in my life!!

I binge read Sabaa Tahir's debut, An Ember in the Ashes, within hours of its release, but it has taken me a while to compile my thoughts on this brilliant read that is at once frightening, infuriating and heart warming. I doubt I have done justice to the multitude of feelings this book evoked in me but here it is nonetheless:
Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither is free.
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear.
It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire's impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They've seen what happens to those who do.
But when Laia's brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire's greatest military academy, Blackcliff.
There, Laia meets Elias, the school's finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he's being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined—and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
What I liked:
An Ember in the Ashes not only features a complex and fascinatingly scary setting/world building but also a complicated web of relationships that goes beyond that of the leading narrators', Laia and Elias. Every character is well-drawn and multi-dimensional and therefore it is difficult, if not impossible, to define/simplify them into the usual YA relationship tropes.
Laia and Elias share the alternating narrative. They have very distinct voices, distinct struggles and distinct relationships with the secondary characters, which makes the convergence of their narratives all the more exciting and thrilling.
Laia is not your typical YA heroine, in that most of the time she is scared beyond measure with no amount of resources/skills to ease her predicament. What she does possess is a fierce determination that overrides her instinctual doubts and fears and forces her to accept to spy on the brutal and feared Commandant from within Blackcliff in exchange for assistance to free her brother.
Elias is Blackcliff's poster boy, the son of the brutal and feared Commandant of the academy. He is expected to be a violent brute and uphold the family legacy but Elias is disgusted with the violent and barbaric lifestyle and wants to escape it. Elias struggles are of an existential nature and his battle of conscience is almost palpable given some well-penned philosophical musings by Tahir.
The dark and gritty setting is infuriatingly compelling without being overly graphic. Torture, abuse and rape are rampant to the point where it is expected, entertained and encouraged. The evil Commandant is at the helm of this hell mouth. She is a stomach-turning sociopath and one of the most horrific villains I have encountered.
Finally, there is nothing like a good prophecy-plot to confuse and confound characters and readers alike and An Ember in the Ashes has a very gripping one at its core that facilitates and shapes the larger narrative into a compelling read.
What I did not like:
While I found Elias struggle between his feelings for Laia and Helena understandable, I found Laia's similar predicament with respect to Elias and Keenan slightly less so. I might even go so far as to say it was unnecessary, because the foundation on which Elias's and Laias's relationship developed was far more superior to that of Keenan's and Laia's. That being said, An Ember in the Ashes is hardly about these triangles, they are but sub-plots to the greater narrative and aptly interwoven so at to not be overpowering. Ultimately, it was not as bothersome as I expected.
In conclusion, An Ember in the Ashes is one the most compelling YA reads of 2015 if not, YA history. It is a stunningly imagined high fantasy with an evocative narrative and well crafted characters. Get yourself a copy now! You won't be disappointed.

How to start a pool service
Yes, I wrote a book on how to start a pool service business.
I have been in the pool business for years and I put all of that experience in a book for your help in starting up your own pool service route. A pool service is a great way to start your own business and create a stable monthly income. This book will help you start the right way and avoid many of the pitfalls that I experienced at first.
You get the benefit of my experience
A few years ago I set out to write a book on my experiences that eventually morphed into a business manual for how to start a pool service business. I wrote the book in an Amazon E-book format as that keeps costs low and nearly everyone has bought a book through Amazon at one time or another. The book does not cover topics such as basic pool care or chemistry. You should already have a good grasp of these topics before you start a pool route anyway. You can get that information freely here on my blog if you need that first. The book covers the details of how to start up a pool service and set up your business the right way. You'll learn how to buy pool chemicals and supplies wholesale and how to land your first customers and also how to handle your customers to keep them happy.
Get off your rear and make a move now!
The book is a short read at 22 pages in E-format, but it will be the best $10 bucks you'll ever spend on some really helpful information from a guy who has been there and done that. I would have killed for this book when I was starting out. Take a look and get out there and start your own pool service business! Best of luck and please don't push me out of my own pool route. OK?

Message From Dean Dave Scicchitano
The increasingly interdisciplinary nature of contemporary scientific research requires that biologists, chemists, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and psychologists have a fundamental understanding of one another's areas.
For this reason, the educational mission of New York University Abu Dhabi emphasizes the integration of the life, physical, mathematical, and computer sciences with other academic disciplines. This integration manifests itself in the multidisciplinary nature of research at New York University Abu Dhabi, research that addresses some of the most pressing issues affecting the globe while simultaneously asking questions that further the basic understanding of nature and the universe.
The prudent fusion of science, math, and other academic disciplines at New York University Abu Dhabi has resulted in the creation of state-of-the-art research centers and core technology platforms in which questions and problems are tackled in projects led by scientists of international distinction. Climate change and its consequences; drug discovery; human behavior, learning and the mind; understanding the universe and its constituents; environmental sustainability; synthetic biology; and genomic approaches to systems biology are among the pivotal areas currently studied at New York University Abu Dhabi. In many cases, the cultural and natural environments of the United Arab Emirates provide unique opportunities that are heightened further by the campus's place within New York University's network of sites that spans the globe, especially including the prolific scholarship found at its schools and colleges in New York City.
The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi offers undergraduate majors in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology, with areas of specialization in some. Graduate degrees are offered in biology, chemistry, computer science, and physics. Postdoctoral training opportunities are also available.

6.3. Making Backups
Hard disks are mechanical devices. They are guaranteed to wear out, fail, and lose your data. The only unknown is when they will fail.
Data backup is performed to guard against drive failure. But it's also done to guard against data loss due to theft, fire, accidental deletion, bad editing, software defects, and unnoticed data corruption.
6.3.1. How Do I Do That?
Before making backups, you must decide:
Based on this information, you can develop a backup strategy, including a backup technology, schedule, and rotation.
184.108.40.206. Determining what data to back up
Any data that you want to preserve must be backed up; usually, this does not include the operating system or applications, because you can reinstall those.
Table 6-5 lists some common system roles and the directories that should be considered for backup.
220.127.116.11. Determining how often to back up your data
Generally, backup frequency should be decided based on how often (and when) the data changes, and how many changes you are willing to lose.
For example, printer configuration data may be changed only a few times a year, and losing the latest change won't cost much in terms of the work required to re-create that change. Word processing documents may be changed daily, and you may want to ensure that you don't lose more than one day's work (or even a half-day's work); on the other hand, orders on a busy web site may be received every few seconds, and you may decide that you can't live with the loss of more than a few minutes worth of data.
184.108.40.206. Determine how quickly you will need to restore your data
How long can you live without your data? The answer probably depends on regulatory and operational issues.
Some types of informationsuch as information about cross-border shipmentsmust be reported to government agencies on a daily basis, for example, and delays are penalized by fines of thousands of dollars per day. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the data-recovery process. On the other hand, personal music and photo collections may not need to be restored until weeks or months after the data loss.
188.8.131.52. Determine how far back in time you need to restore
Some types of data loss or corruption may not be realized until weeks, months, or years after they have occurred, while others will be immediately obvious. In some caseswhen data changes quicklyit may be necessary to be able to restore data to the state it was in on a specific date, while in other cases it's sufficient to be able to restore data to the state that it was in at the end of a particular month.
184.108.40.206. Decision 1: Incremental versus full backups, and backup rotation
Files may be selected for backup on an incremental basisonly files that have been changed since the last backup are selectedor a full backup may be performed.
Incremental backups often require significantly less storage space than full backups when dealing with large sets of individual files such as word processing documents because the number of documents that are changed each day is usually fairly small. On the other hand, a small SQL update query may cause all of the files in a database to be modified, nullifying the benefits of incremental backup in that context.
An incremental backup scheme usually involves making full backups periodically and then making incremental backups until the scheduled time of the next full backup. Restoring from an incremental backup therefore requires you to restore a full backup, then restore all of the incremental backups from that point forward. Thus, the time required for a restore operation may be much longer than for a system that uses only full backups. Also, if one of the backups is unusable due to media corruption or damage, you will not be able to reliably perform a full recovery.
Given the choice between full and incremental backups, I recommend using full backups whenever practical.
184.108.40.206. Decision 2: Decide on the backup media
Cost, capacity, and speed usually drive the selection of backup media. There are many options available:
I'm going to focus on DVD and tape storage options in this lab.
18.104.22.168. Decision 3: Decide on media rotation and storage
When using DVDs, you have the option of selecting DVDR media, which can only be written once. This provides an inexpensive, compact, and permanent archive through time; assuming one disc per day, a year's worth of discs will take only about 4L of space and cost less than $100.
For tape and DVDRW media, you'll need to decide on your media rotation strategy. This is a compromise between the number of tapes/discs and how far back in time you wish to restore.
A simple rotation scheme involves buying a set amount of media and rotating through it. For example, 20 discs or tapes used only on weekdays will enable you to restore files to the state they were in during any weekday in the preceding four weeks.
A multilevel scheme permits you to go back farther in time. A simple three-level scheme (known as Grandfather/Father/Son) is shown in Table 6-6.
This scheme uses the same 20 discs or tapes, but permits you to restore to:
You must also decide where and how you will store your media. Unless the media is stored offsite, a disaster such as fire or theft could result in the loss of both the original storage drives and the backup media, but storing media offsite will slow the restoration process.
220.127.116.11. Simple backup labeling
There are many ways of labeling backups, but one of the easiest is to create a file named system-<hostname> in the root directory immediately before producing the backup, and include that as the first file in the backup volume:
# touch /system-$(hostname) # ls -l /system-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 1 01:34 /system-bluesky.fedorabook.com
This will identify the originating system name as well as the date and time of the backup (from the file timestamp).
220.127.116.11. Backing up to DVD
To back up data to DVD, use the growisofs command:
# growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -RJ -graft-points /etc=/etc /home=/home /system-*
This will back up the /etc and /home directories to /dev/dvd (the default DVD recorder). -Z indicates that this is the first session on the disc, and -RJ enables long filename handling compatible with Unix/Linux (Rock Ridge) and Windows (Joliet) systems. The graft-points option permits the backed-up directories to be stored in specific directories on the disc. /etc=/etc and /home=/home specify the directories to be backed up, ensuring that each directory is placed in a directory with the same name on the disc. The argument /system-* places the system label file in the root directory of the DVD.
This command will work with DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW media.
To create a compressed DVD, use the mkzftree command to create a compressed copy of the origin directories:
# mkdir /tmp/zftree # mkzftree /home /tmp/zftree/home # mkzftree /etc /tmp/zftree/etc
Then use the -z option to growisofs:
# growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -RJz /tmp/zftree /system-*
Putting this all together into a script, and mailing the results to the email alias backup-alert, we get this:
#!/bin/bash # # backup-dvd :: backup selected directories to a compressed DVD # # List of the directories to be backed up DIRLIST =" /etc /home" # Create timestamp file ( rm -f /system-* touch /system-$(hostname) # Make directory for compressed backup tree rm -rf /tmp/zftree 2>/dev/null mkdir /tmp/zftree RESULT=0 for DIR in $DIRLIST do mkzftree $DIR /tmp/zftree${DIR} RESULT=$(( $? + $RESULT )) done if [ "$RESULT" -eq 0 ] then # Burn the DVD growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -RJz /tmp/zftree /system-* # Eject the disc eject else echo "Skipping burn: file compression failed." fi # Delete the zftree rm -rf /tmp/zftree 2>/dev/null ) 2>&1|mail -s "Backup Log $(hostname)" backup-alert
Edit the DIRLIST line so that it contains a list of the directories to be backed up, separated by spaces.
Save this file as /usr/local/bin/backup-dvd and then make it executable:
# chmod u+rx /usr/local/bin/backup-dvd
And be sure to create an email alias for the backup-alert user in the file /etc/aliases:
backup-alert: chris frank
To produce a backup, execute this script:
# backup-dvd
But it's a better idea to configure the system to run this script automatically every night (see Lab 6.4, "Scheduling Tasks").
18.104.22.168. Backing up to tape
To back up directories to tape, use the tape archiver (tar):
# tar -cf /dev/st0 /system-* /etc /home tar: Removing leading \Q/' from member names tar: Removing leading \Q/' from hard link targets
In this command, /dev/st0 is the first tape drive, and /etc and /home are the directories being backed up.
To perform a compressed backup, add the z (for gzip compression) or j (for bzip2 compression) option:
# tar -czf /dev/st0 /system-* /etc /home tar: Removing leading \Q/' from member names tar: Removing leading \Q/' from hard link targets
Here is a script that will perform a tape backup:
#!/bin/bash # # backup-tape :: backup selected directories to a compressed tape # # List of the directories to be backed up DIRLIST=" /etc /home" # Create timestamp file ( rm -f /system-* touch /system-$(hostname) # Produce the tape tar -czf /dev/st0 /system-* $DIRLIST # Eject the tape if possible mt -f /dev/st0 eject ) 2>&1|mail -s "Backup Log $(hostname)" backup-alert
Save this script as /usr/local/bin/backup-tape.
Like the backup-dvd script, this script will send an email report to the email alias backup-alert. To include a list of files in the email report, add the -v option to the tar command:
tar -czvf /dev/st0 /system-* $DIRLIST
To produce a backup tape, run the script from the command line:
# backup-tape
It's best to run this script automatically every night (see Lab 6.4, "Scheduling Tasks").
22.214.171.124. Restoring files from backups
When restoring from tape, it's a good idea to restore to a location other than the original file location to ensure that critical data is not accidentally overwritten. These commands will perform a full restore of a tape to the directory /tmp/restore:
# mkdir /tmp/restore # cd /tmp/restore # tar xvzf /dev/st0
To restore only certain files, specify the filenames as arguments to tar:
# tar xvzf /dev/st0 home/chris/
If the file specified is a directory, all of the files and subdirectories in that directory will be restored.
Restoring from disc is easy: just copy the files that you want to the location that you want. You can do this graphically, or you can restore all of the files on the disc:
# mkdir /tmp/restore # cd /tmp/restore # cp -r /media/CDROM/* .
126.96.36.199. Viewing the table of contents and verifying a backup
To verify that a tape backup is readable, use tar's t option to view a table of contents of the tape:
# tar tvzf /dev/st0 -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2006-07-01 01:34:24 system-bluesky.fedorabook.com drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-09-23 15:01:38 etc/gconf/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-03-02 11:59:15 etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-08-29 00:53:34 etc/gconf/1/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 840 2005-03-02 11:59:11 etc/gconf/1/path drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-03-20 01:33:22 etc/gconf/schemas/ ...(Lines skipped)...
Since the label file /system-* is the first file on the tape, you can view the originating machine as well as the date and time of the backup by just viewing the first line of the table of contents:
# tar tvzf /dev/st0|head -1 -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2006-07-01 01:34:24 system-bluesky.fedorabook.com
To verify that all of the files on an optical disc are readable, use find to read each file on the mounted disc:
# find /media/cdrecorder -exec cp {} /dev/null \;
Only errors will be reported.
6.3.2. How Does It Work?
The growisofs command is part of the package dvd+rw-tools, which was originally intended for use with DVD+RW media. Since the original design, it has grown to include support for all DVD media formats. It operates as a frontend to the mkisofs command, which produces a filesystem in the ISO 9660 format that is the standard for optical media, and then writes the mkisofs output to the disc burner.
ISO 9660 is unfortunately limited to eight-character filenames with a three-character extension. The Rock Ridge (RR) extension adds support for long filenames, user and group ownership, and permission mode under Linux; Joliet extensions add similar support for the Windows operating systems. Using the -JR option to growisofs causes the created disk to be compatible with both Rock Ridge and Joliet.
mkzftree makes a recursive copy of a directory structure, compressing any files that would benefit from compression during the copy process. The resulting directory structure can be passed to mkisofs with the -z option, which will cause mkisofs to create additional Rock Ridge records with information about the data compression used. These records in turn enable the kernel's filesystem layer to decompress the files on the fly when reading them from disc.
When backing up to tape, tar converts a directory structure to a continuous stream of bytes. A short header contains the pathname, ownership, permissions modes, size, and timestamps for a file, followed by the data for that file; this is repeated for each file in the archive.
The z option to tar causes it to start gzip and process all data through it. As an alternative, the j option will process the archive stream through bzip2, which may offer better compression in some circumstances.
6.3.3. What About...
18.104.22.168. ...using LVM snapshots in a backup script?
You can simply place the appropriate vgcreate and mount commands at the start of your backup script, and umount and vgremove commands at the end of the script.
Here is a slightly fancier version of the DVD backup script, which accepts a list of vg / lv pairs and creates a compressed DVD backup. Set the LVLIST and SNAPSIZE variables to whatever values you wish to use:
#!/bin/bash # # backup-dvd :: backup selected directories to a compressed DVD # # List of the vg/lv to be backed up LVLIST="main/home main/var" # Amount of space to use for snapshots SNAPSIZE="1G" # Create timestamp file ( rm -f /system-* touch /system-$(hostname) # Make directory for compressed backup tree rm -rf /tmp/zftree mkdir /tmp/zftree RESULT=0 for VGLV in $LVLIST do echo "========= Processing $VGLV..." # Get information about the vg/lv VG=$(echo $VGLV|cut -f1 -d/) LV=$(echo $VGLV|cut -f2 -d/) SNAPNAME="${LV}-snap" OLDMOUNT= \ $(grep "^/dev/${VGLV}" /etc/fstab|tr "\t" " "|tr -s " "|cut -f2 -d" ") NEWMOUNT="/mnt/snap${OLDMOUNT}" # Create a snapshot lvcreate -s $VGLV --name $SNAPNAME --size $SNAPSIZE RESULT=$(( $? + $RESULT )) # Mount the snapshot mkdir -p $NEWMOUNT mount -o ro /dev/${VG}/${SNAPNAME} ${NEWMOUNT} RESULT=$(( $? + $RESULT )) # Place it in the zftree mkdir -p /tmp/zftree$(dirname $OLDMOUNT) mkzftree ${NEWMOUNT} /tmp/zftree${OLDMOUNT} RESULT=$(( $? + $RESULT )) # Unmount the snapshot umount $NEWMOUNT # Release the snapshot lvremove -f ${VG}/${SNAPNAME} done if [ "$RESULT" -eq 0 ] then # Burn the DVD growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -RJz /tmp/zftree /system-* # Eject the disc eject else echo "Skipping burn: snapshot or file compression failed." fi # Delete the zftree rm -rf /tmp/zftree 2>/dev/null ) 2>&1|mail -s "Backup Log $(hostname)" backup-alert
220.127.116.11. ...putting more than one backup on a tape?
The device node /dev/st0 is the default (first) tape drive on the system, configured to rewind after each use. /dev/nst0 is the same device but without the automatic rewind.
In order to position the tape, Fedora provides the mt command, described in Table 6-7.
The mt command uses /dev/tape as its default device; create this as a symbolic link to /dev/nst0 if it does not already exist:
# ln -s /dev/nst0 /dev/tape
You can now create a multibackup tape:
# mt rewind # tar cvzf /dev/tape /home # tar cvzf /dev/tape /etc # mt rewind
To read a specific backup on a multibackup tape, rewind to the beginning (just to be sure you're at the start), and then skip any files (backups) necessary to reach the archive you want. These commands will access the table of contents for the second archive, for example:
# mt rewind # mt fsf # tar tvzf /dev/tape etc/ etc/smrsh/ etc/smrsh/mailman etc/group- etc/gnopernicus-1.0/ etc/gnopernicus-1.0/translation_tables/ ...(Lines snipped)...
184.108.40.206. ...backing up multiple systems onto a central tape archive?
Fedora Core includes amanda, a powerful client-server tape backup system that can be used for this purpose. See the amanda manpages for details.

Doing the move by yourself requires a lot of work. But the hard work has its benefits as well. The same goes when you hire a removals company. There's a price for it but the convenience surely makes it worth it.
When to Do It Yourself
One of the most common problems is the budget. So if you have a very limited budget, you certainly have to do everything by yourself. To save money, you should pack your things on your own. Instead of hiring a removals company to load and unload them, you can rent a van and do the loading and unloading by yourself or with the help of some friends.
The good thing about this is you will have control over the whole process. However, you also have to be sure you are packing delicate items properly. If not, you will end up saving money now but you will end up losing a lot of your things too.
When to Hire a Removals Company
The removals company would usually be able to do a better job than you. So if you can afford it, you should not spare on your budget especially if you have valuable items. You will be able to make sure that your things are packed properly and well-protected. With the insurance provided by the removals company, you would also get additional protection in case of damage during the transport.
Of course, if you have limited number of items to pack you can easily manage the move by yourself. You don't have to splurge even if you can afford it.

Though you would never know it by the 90 degree weather we have been having, we are officially into Fall. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. What's not to love about Fall??
- Cooler weather! At least theoretically... Hey - it's not 100 anymore. And we did have those 2 days where I had to find pants for the boys instead of shorts! :)
- New tv shows - finally something to watch on tivo! No more reruns! "Go On", anyone? Loved March Sadness and died over the Google Car. "Last Resort" looks promising as well.
- College football - How about those 18th ranked Aggies at 5-1!! I am not sure I can take many more games like the game at Old Miss week before last though. Particularly as we were at BW3's watching both the A&M game and the Texas & WVa game that were both down to the wire.
- Caramel apples. Ooey, gooey, carmel, chocolate, peanut butter chip monstrosities.
- Halloween - the books, the movies, parties, carving pumpkins, costumes! And of course the race against the clock to visit as many pumpkin patches and corn mazes as humanly possible. :)
The boys loved all the baby pumpkins and had a competition to see who could find the smallest baby pumpkin in the patch.
Afterwards we ran into some of the kids from the boy's school and rode the hayride out to the cow pasture to feed the cows with them.
Or more accurately throw the food down on the ground and get as far as humanly possible away from the cows the second they got in our general vicinity and the driver told us they slobbered.
Not that there was far to get. Especially when that whole head and more came under the bar and right on top of your toes. In flip flops... Nibble, nibble.... :)
Afterward we played on the playground for a while and then rode the train with some friends from the boys' OLD school. Ryan for no apparent reason freaked out and screamed the entire ride.
Kevin gave up trying to calm him down and fantasized about being out there fishing instead of being on a moving train with a kid screaming in his ear. :)
Of course we had to check out everything - including the bounce houses.
And putt-putt course. Ryan LOVED it! And did surprisingly well! We are definitely going to have to take him again some day.
We also raced through the maze to find all the flags. Ryan beat me out by a hair. :)
And then checked out the tee pee and moved onto the kamikaze climbing poles and bean bag swings.
Having had about as much excitement as we could handle we met up with some friends, enjoyed some BBQ, and then let the kids play in the sand until it was practically pitch black and we finally had to take a hint. :)

I let the weeks go by and never got to the post office...... Not only did I not send a card, my sister the more organised one out of his daughters actually got him a card/present but thought it was the following Sunday. Poor dad had to wake up this morning with nothing from his daughters except a couple of phone calls and excuses. So I am terribly sorry dad and l promise to make it up to you with yummy food when you come for Christmas this year. As you can see, my dad is of the adventurous variety so something tells me he'll have a fabulous day no matter what!
Actually, when you look at your life as you grow older, there are quite a few patterns forming without you really realizing the similarities of your childhood versus adult life.
Strong childhood memories for me are food and music. When I was growing up there was always music in our house. The weekends were for dad to play his records all day long (or was it just the mornings?) while mum always seemed to have something brewing in the kitchen.
To this day whenever I hear a Fleetwood Mac tune or Doctor Hook song it takes me back to the green carpet of our one-time living room in Tiwi (a suburb of Darwin) and dad drumming his fingers and thumbs on anything and everything around. Memories of a few decades ago mirror the scene of today.
What to get Nic for Father's Day? Music was on top of the boys list, along with a Doctor Who iPhone case (not quite the same as Doctor Hook!) and a book, not to mention a 'special' breakfast. Max pointed it out that Nic should choose breakfast seeing as it was fathers day.
"What do you think boys?" was Nic's reply and without a moment of hesitation the three of them in unison yelled out
Nic was very happy with his itunes gift card and instead of Doctor Hook playing on the record player we had The Killers humming out of itunes while I made a batch of waffles in the kitchen. A scene that felt perfectly comfortable and natural....as if I had been doing it all my life, when in fact I was only watching all those years ago without even realizing the enjoyment I had of such an everyday moment.
Basic waffle mix
2 cups plain flour
1 cup wholemeal flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
pinch salt
4 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs (separated)
100grams melted butter
21/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and leave until needed. (you will have to tip the w/m husks back into the mix)
Separate egg and place the yolks into the centre of the dry ingredients.
Whisk the whites in a medium bowl until peaks just start to stiffen.
Gradually pour in the milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Your batter will be lumpy and that is all good.
Add vanilla essence and egg whites then fold until combined.
Heat up your waffle iron and begin cooking!

The only ingredient you need to use in your dishwasher detergent/
After trying several different recipes for homemade dishwasher detergent, I was left feeling frustrated by my sort-of-clean dishes, and the multiple ingredients (and time) needed for making these recipes. If you do a quick search on Pinterest, most results for homemade dishwasher detergents call for a mix of washing soda, borax, salt and citric acid. Lots of ingredients for a less than reliable result. Our flatware particularly was coming out less than clean.
I continued to search for a solution, and stumbled onto a very interesting article from Little House in the Suburbs. The author did some research into ingredients used in commercial dishwasher detergents. Several interesting points were made, including the fact that salt reacts with stainless steel, which is probably why my flatware was not getting clean.
So what do I use in my dishwasher now? Washing soda. That's it. It gets the dishes AND silverware clean. I don't need multiple ingredients, and I already have washing soda around because I use it to make laundry soap. I throw some vinegar in the rinse compartment, and that's it. A much simpler solution!
What does everyone else use in their dishwasher? Has anyone else had problems finding a reliable recipe for dishwasher detergent?

Two people are in a serious condition after multiple bullet wounds
Police in Sertar County in Kardze opened fire on a group of Tibetan nomads on 30 March, severely injuring several people and leaving two requiring specialist treatment for their severe injuries.
The shootings resulted from a dispute that started when 30 yaks belonging to Tibetan nomads in Sertar County went missing and a week later were discovered loaded onto the back of a truck. An argument ensued between the nomads and the people driving the truck, ending with the nomads taking back the livestock and also the truck they were being transported in.
On the evening of 30 March, the truck drivers returned with a group of county police. Police forced the owners to return the truck and also the yaks, threatening to shoot the nomads if the yaks and truck were not immediately handed over. The nomads gave them the truck but refused to give up the livestock, which they tried to explain belonged to them. The police responded by pointing their guns at the Tibetan nomads and opening fire, leaving some of them with critical injuries.
Several Tibetans were severely injured by the gunfire, with one receiving ten gunshot wounds. He was one of two people transferred to a hospital in Chengdu after the staff at County People's Hospital in Kardze declared that their injuries were too severe for the hospital to be able to treat.
Prisoners released
Free Tibet has learned of two more prisoners being released last month. These releases follow those of Ngodup Phuntsok, Sonam Gonpo and Joleb Jigme.
Samdrup, a monk who was arrested in November 2012 after a self-immolation protest, was released on 7 March.Sandrup was 16 at the time of his protest on 7 November 2012, when, along with two other teenage monks, he set himself on fire outside a police station in Ngaba the day before the Chinese Communist Party's 18th National Congress. The youngets of the three monks, Dorjee, died from his wounds.
Plain-clothed local police brought Sandrup home on the afternoon of 7 March. They did so in secret, ensuring that family members and local Tibetans could not gather to prepare a formal welcome for him.
Samdrup's body is covered in scars and burns including on his face, neck and hands. His vision has also been affected which might have been caused by lack of light for a long time during his confinement in a dark cell.
Monk released after eight years in prison
The following day Kedrup Gyatso, a monk from Tsang Monastery in Gepa Sumdo County, Tsolho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, was released from prison. He was arrested along with 80 monks from Tsang Monastery in 2008 for taking part in the mass protests in Tibet that year.
He was sentenced to 10 years for being one of the leaders of the protests but had his term reduced by two years for working hard in prison.Kedrup Gyatso arrived home at around midnight on 8 March with three policemen. Eyewitnesses reported that his face and eyes were damaged as a result of beatings and torture. Authorities made Kedrup Gyatso rest during his final month in prison because of his poor health.
Kedrup Gyatso is not allowed to return to his monastery, so is instead living in his home in Tsekhok County in Malho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, where police come every few days to monitor him.

Explaining Behavior in Public Goods Games
Metadata only
Murphy, Ryan O.
Ackermann, Kurt A.
- Working Paper
ETH Bibliographyyes
There is a large body of evidence showing that a substantial proportion of people contribute positive amounts in public goods games, even if the situation is one-shot and completely anonymous. Clearly, this is in conflict with the prediction of neoclassic economic theory. One of the most promising explanations of why people contribute anything in this context draws upon an interaction between positive social preferences and beliefs about the preferences and anticipated behavior of others. We follow this line of thinking and investigate the predictive power of social preferences and beliefs on contribution levels in both a one-shot and a repeated linear public goods game. We report on the degree to which individual contributions can be explained when individual preferences and beliefs are taken into account, and additionally how preferences and beliefs change in response to the behavior of others Show more

About Us
Welcome! My name is Pierre Penninkhof, and I am the founder of Your Best Friend's Distributing. I grew a passion for pets' the day our family got our first dog, and in turn have been benefiting pets and their owners for over 12 years. When searching for the right food for our first dog, I discovered the unfortunate truth that many companies in the pet food and dietary supplement industry were producing and selling garbage. They were not bothering to reformulate their products to include and make available ingredients that had the latest in scientific research findings. In essence these established pet food and dietary supplement makers / suppliers were happy to just continue to make and market pet products that had old discredited and ineffective ingredients because they could make more money than using modern more costly however far more effective ingredients. This motivated me to create my own healthy pet food and supplements. I wanted to be able to know I was feeding my pets the healthiest possible diet. With mass amounts of research, I have combined natural ingredients to increase your pets' health and longevity to help pet parents have pets in excellent health and living happy full natural lives.

Ophthalmic migraines are quite common and often occur without head pain, although the individual term "migraine" usually brings to mind a severe type of headache.
In regards to eye-related migraines, visual disturbances with or without headache pain also can accompany migraine processes thought to be stemming from alterations in blood flow in the brain.
These visual problems associated with migraines technically are known as ophthalmic migraines, but are much more commonly (though incorrectly) called ocular migraines.
Because the general population understand the term better, this article refers to the condition as "ocular migraine."
Chronic Migraine Headache can be brought about by a neurological response to certain triggers that the sufferer is sensitive to, such as hormonal changes, flashing lights or chemicals in foods or medications. One result of these triggers may be an intense headache that unfortunately can last for hours or even days.
During or before migraine, alterations also may take place in blood flow to the area of the brain responsible for vision (visual cortex or occipital lobe).
This usually stems from the basilar artery, and it is commonly thought that Basilar Migraines are related to ocular migraines. Resulting ophthalmic migraine or ocular migraines commonly can produce visual symptoms even without a headache.
People with ocular migraines can have a number of visual symptoms. One will see a small, enlarging blind spot (scotoma) in your central vision with bright, flickering lights (scintillations) or a shimmering zig-zag line inside the blind spot.
The blind spot can even enlarge and might move across your field of vision. This entire migraine phenomenon may end in only a few minutes, but usually lasts as long as about 20-30 minutes.Ocular migraines are considered harmless, however some contend that the underlying event is potentially harmful in the long run.
In the short term, Ocular migraines are painless, cause no permanent visual or brain damage and do not require treatment.
You may want to consult with an eye doctor when you have unusual vision symptoms, because it's possible that you have another associated condition requiring treatment.
Our free Beyond Headaches tour will give you some common sense direction that you may benefit from.
Painless ocular migraines can appear suddenly, creating the sensation of looking through a broken window. The accompanying visual distortion spreads across the field of vision and usually disappears within about 15-30 minutes.
Unfortunately, a visit to the eye doctor may produce few answers in terms of how to treat or prevent ocular migraines. This is because processes that trigger ophthalmic migraines are poorly understood.
But if these symptoms recur with increasing frequency, then you may need medication to reduce the frequency and/or severity of attacks. You may be advised to take medications for extended periods of time to prevent recurrence of ophthalmic migraines.
For starters, and to pursue avoiding long term medications, and take a moment right now to view the free Beyond Headaches Lifestyle tour… you'll find interesting answers and direction there.

New Houses for Native Alaskans — 1966Posted: August 15, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Alaska Natives housing, Elfriede Hoeber, Eskimo Housing, Grayling AK, Johnson Administration, Kennedy Administration, Public Housing, Yukon Bush Travel 4 Comments
My mother, Elfriede Hoeber, traveled to more than 65 countries in her lifetime, but her favorite trip was to two small, hard-to-reach towns in the remote country of Alaska. In the mid-Twentieth Century, social progressives regarded providing better housing as a major step to improving the lot of disadvantaged populations. Elfriede spent 25 years as an ardent advocate of government support for housing improvement. In 1963, she accepted a position in the Kennedy administration working in an experimental bureau called the Low Income Housing Demonstration Program. This small agency tried to aid under-served populations cheaply and efficiently. They experimented with rehabbing tenements in Harlem rather than tearing them down, building prefabricated homes in Apache towns in the Arizona desert and placing needy families in individual homes in suburbs rather than in public housing towers. The Housing Demonstration Program paid particular attention to pockets of rural poverty, which had received little government assistance up to that time.
One project was in the remote village of Grayling, Alaska, a settlement of the Holikachuk tribe of Athabaskan Indians (the term I was given by one of the residents there). Located four hundred miles west of Anchorage, Grayling's population was then about 125. Most lived in conditions that would have been poor anywhere, but were particularly challenging in a place where winter temperatures drop to 40 degrees below zero. The town is in a forested area on the Yukon River. Word of Grayling's housing problems made its way to the office of the Housing Demonstration Program in Washington DC, 5,000 miles away. Elfriede and the agency's technical staff developed a plan in which trees were felled upriver from the development and floated down to the town where they were used to build log houses. The government provided kitchen equipment, doors, windows, hardware and the like at a cost of $2,500 per house. The Holikachuk people decided where to locate their own houses and did the building themselves.
When the project was completed, the agency decided there should be a formal ceremony to dedicate the new houses. Although Elfriede was a very smart writer and policy director, public speaking was not her favorite activity. Nevertheless, when she heard there was to be a trip to a remote Alaskan town she jumped at the chance to be the Federal government's representative. She flew from Washington to Anchorage, where she was joined by Alaska state housing officials for the last leg into the town. Their seven-seater Porter plane landed on the frozen Yukon, where they were met by snowmobiles to carry them to the village. Elfriede was put up at the home of the head of the village council, a man by the unlikely name of Harry Gochenauer (perhaps this German-sounding name originated in the days Moravian missionaries came to the area in the early twentieth century). The principal meal consisted of moose meatloaf, which Elfriede reported (to Washington officials, not her hosts) was "not a gourmet treat." At the dedication ceremony in the village school, Elfriede was the honored guest who cut the ribbon symbolically stretched between two scale models of new village log houses. She later wrote to her Washington boss, "The entire village, babes-in-arms, children, parents, grandparents, had turned out for the occasion. It well warranted the front-page coverage and full-page picture spread which was given to the festivities by the Anchorage Daily News."
On her return to Washington, Elfriede wrote a report on her trip to inspect housing demonstration programs in Alaska. It is one of the more charming government reports you will ever read. Click on the link below the image to read in a larger format.

First off, we are not Eskimo. Second, your mother put our moose meat down. Third, it is not the tundra. AND YES! We have trees. So before you publish something like this, you should do your research.
First of all, we are Athabaskan Eskimo, we are Athabaskan Indians.
Your article is incorrect on so many topics and disrespectful on so many levels.
Before you blog about any community or tribe you should travel to that community and do your research yourself.
You have no right to stand in judgement of another race or community and publicly put that race or community down to such levels of disgrace.
This type of public discrimination should be banned.
