My 20-year-old daughter looked at me square in the face when I started my website, 2 years ago and said, "Mom, you are going to fail at this."
I said, "Gee honey, thanks, but why?"
"M..o…m," she said, condescendingly I might add. "Women over 35 can barely read their email. How do you think they are going to figure out how to find your website? The internet is for young people."
On that note, I started my career as the editor and founder of the website, The Daily Basics.
I am veteran Regional Editor for Better Homes and Gardens publications since the early 1990s. My job was to find beautiful and inspirational homes to photograph, style and produce the photo shoots, and write up a manuscript. However, when the magazine industry began reinventing itself online, I decided to do the same.
So there it was—a blank slate, or a blank screen. Creating a website with beautiful homes was not what I wanted to do. Over the years I had become fascinated with how people lived. Some had walls of books, others designed their kitchens for more than one cook or used their antique china and silver daily. There were those who collected and displayed guitars, lived in converted barns, raised chickens, had yoga rooms, or were even fabulous wanna-be Martha Stewarts. I wanted to focus on the intrinsic values, variety, and nuances in cooking, entertaining, the arts, decorating, and travel … in other words, lifestyle.
I looked at my kids glued to their facebook pages and it hit me. The internet has become a powerful force and as much as we were gaining from the instant info world, we were losing a lot to high tech. My fear was that traditional ways of living would become history. (Read my post about enjoying a cold winter night the old fashioned way.) I reasoned that the way to lead the next generation away from a life in front of a screen was to show them what they were missing. Online. The pendulum had to swing back and when it does, they will have the information to balance the old with the new. Right? Much to my delight, I discovered tons of new fantastic blogs and websites that were popping up echoing my feelings. The problem was, while they were talking the lifestyle talk, their lack of tech skills kept them hidden in the cyber world.
Hence, my mission was born. I created The Daily Basics as a lifestyle platform. I would write one post about things I discovered behind the scenes in people's homes when I was a magazine editor. Taking it one step further, the kumbaya in me had to ask all of these other really cool bloggers to join my community. After all, that neglected demographic, you know, the one my daughter thinks does not know how to use a computer, is a busy gal and needs one-stop shopping to find interesting lifestyle blogs and websites in The Daily Basics' directory.
So despite my daughter's prediction, I am still here. This last Christmas, she made me a gift to tell me how proud she was of me. (And P.S.—she reads my posts every day!)
How are you living the good life?

Hi, and welcome to the on-line home of
The School of Equine Shiatsu
Over the past 12 years we have established the School as THE School of Equine Shiatsu with over 200 students attending our Equine Shiatsu Courses from throughout the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. For a limited period of time we are including with our 2013 Prospectus a free DVD which will tell you all about the School. It was filmed over a 2-day period during an actual course with input from second year students. Just click the 'Order a Prospectus' tab on any page and we will send you a copy of the Prospectus and DVD.
For more information on "What's New" click here, we have details on the Diploma Course in Equine Shiatsu and a 2-day Equine Shiatsu Foundation Workshop. As part of the Diploma Course we are offering students new to the School a rare opportunity to sit in on the second module for a couple of days. We are calling it a Foundation Workshop and you will of course meet Jill and her team plus members of the course just as they set out on their 2½ year journey. If you are interested in any of these courses don't hesitate to contact us by telephone or e-mail. We can discuss your specific situation and if appropriate put you in contact with existing students from your part of the World.
We will be running a second 3-day Foundation Course in Croatia at a new centre in Istria on 30/31st May & 1st June 2014 and a 3-day Foundation Course in West Sussex on 29/30/31 August 2014. One of our students, who we have known for some time now, Vedrana Ivcevic, is launching an equine therapy partnership in Croatia and Jill has promised to assist with the equine shiatsu part of this. She and Nick Goody took a team of current students to run a 3-day Foundation Course, which Vedrana organised in
Our picture shows members of the 2nd year Copper Group relaxing on Worthing beach after their final assessments weekend. They all look pretty confident although Jack the Bracco was wondering where his portion of fish'n chips went!
Now is a good time to start planning your equine shiatsu journey. The Foundation Course is just what it says, an intensive introduction to the art of shiatsu and we find that 50% of people who attend this course go on to enrol on the Diploma Course. It gives you a chance to get to know us, and us to know you, and we can keep in contact over the period leading up the start of your course in October.
We now have a new page on our web-site which enables you to pay by PayPal or Credit Card thus enabling you to pay for your tuition according to your own budget. While you're on our web-site please take some time to look around, hopefully you will find enough information to help you start your own equine shiatsu journey. We have found that most visitors spend on average 5 minutes with us on-line and we do try to keep the site up-to-date with information on the gentle art of shiatsu for horses.We have links to past students who now run their own practice, and encourage comments from everyone and anyone so please give it a go! Shiatsu for horses is a serious therapy but it's fun to learn and fun to do.
It's always good to report success especially where our past students are concerned. Jane Clifford was a member of our Silver Group from 2006 through to completing Post Grad in 2009. Jane then undertook a course in human shiatsu with Markus Grasser at the European Shiatsu School (ESS) in Brighton. She now has her own human and equine practice based in Ashington, West Sussex and has also worked with Jill at a day centre for clients with special needs. You can visit Jane at her brand new web-site:
Jane Horsman was one of our first group of students back in 2003 and she says: "I love the new look website and especially the photos of all the students. It brought back fond memories of the days we spent together learning shiatsu. What a great time we all had!" One of our students is practicing equine shiatsu in Spain, another in Hungary, and I have visited Latvia to demonstrate shiatsu at a major equine conference in Riga.
As part of the redesign we've come up with a new contact form which will enable you to request information on our courses easily and automatically. If you want to have a chat please give us a call on +44 (0)1903 814 860.That's all for now, we look forward to hearing from you soon

As if Shizuka didn't have a hard time hiding her lactating breasts, the perverted Kousaya finds out about them. Now she has to do whatever he say in order to keep his mouth shut.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: "Why are a bunch of Vanilla bastards talking about beating up the protaganists in this story in the first place, is answerable. Why they have so many upvotes, is illogical, and asshole-ish." Please put an end to this bullshit. Downvote their comments to the last page, where they will never see daylight again.

I might check this movie out casting wise. But to tell you the truth all these movies are the same. Its saw all over again. They need to end it and move on. There's a whole lot of ideas.

Kill or be killed huh? That should at least make things a little more interesting and couldnt go out on the bad note the last one had.

@rudy It would just be stupid to keep doing that tho, doing a Prequel to show what happened before the first, then a Sequel showing what happens after that but still before the first film, and end up doing a Prequel going father back, it's just pointless.
3 years agoby @frankenfateFlag
@frankenfate Why? A sequel to the prequel, so what happened after the prequel. get it?
@cameowill Well isn't it obvious, the disaster that happened to the 7 of them is the same sh*t that happened to the rest, so why wouldn't he know. He already knows about Death.

Now that I've seen the trailer, this one looks awesome, it looks like its going back into to the days of the first 3 Final Destinations. It looks like it's going to bring back the seriousness and intensity, that 4th FD did not have at all, Oh yeah and bringing Tony Todd back looks like it's going to be even more exciting.

@skywise The only scene in that movie I really liked was the first-person shooter, the part where The Rock was turning into a demon was Badass though. But yeah, plus I found out that the new Batman is gonna be Rebooted after the 3rd one comes out in 2012, and I see what you're saying, but I think everyone is really getting tired of them Rebooting every movie that comes out, I don't for sure. And I'm sure that Writers and Directors also don't want the studio's to control whether the next film they make is either a Prequel or Reboot, take Wes Craven for instance, this is something different but it still counts, he doesn't do 3D movies and My Soul to Take wasn't supposed to be in 3D, there was a new studio that was bought and told Wes that either the film is put in 3D or no release at all. So I think these movie makers that wanna keep doing what they want to their own franchise, they should own their own studio.
3 years agoby @frankenfateFlag
I love these movies, but sadly i get tired of them real quick. Most of them dont even need Sequels but they just keep going and going and instead of taking it further, they give u the very same chit but with a new cast. Saw comes to mind, american pie, scream, scary movie, paranormal activity & fast & furious too!, its like damn enough is enough. give us sumthing fresh,....here's a tip to all directors who make chitty movies, If ur gonna keep making Sequels, make them BETTER than the last1, not woRse and not the same.. just BETTER. THANK U FATHER FOR LETTING ME CONFESS!
@frankenfate true but i dont think that people are running out of ideas i think its more a case of the studio execs being less willing to take risks and would rather put out a surefire hit that already has abuilt in audience. This is a studio issue IMO not an artist opinion but i agree that some things have a story that takes more than one film and some movies definatly need to be overhauled (as i like to put it). Doom is a great example of a movie franchise that could have been outstanding but somehow missed the mark.
@skywise You're right about that, but the way I see it is that Directors and Writers in general are just simply running out movie ideas anyway. Whether a franchise comes to an end or the storyline hasn't come to a close yet, like so many movies like that, I don't know where to start, Spider-Man for one, hasn't ended and they rebooted it, DareDevil, never had any Sequels at all, they're Rebooting it, and Doom, but I can understand that one I have it on DVD, love it but it can use a better storyline, but anyway, my point is it doesn't matter if a movie franchise has ended already, never had sequels, or isn't close to ending, they'll either keep Rebooting it over and over throughout the years, keep making Prequels and more Sequels to the Prequel, and I agree with most people that some movies needs a Reboot, some need to keep going till the storyline ends completely, and others do need a Prequel depending on how the first film began.
3 years agoby @frankenfateFlag
@frankenfate i know i was just making a joke...a bad one granted but my point is that so long as the gore hounds keep turning out they will keep making them. Unfortunatly like any good franchise the more titles added seems to degrade from what made the originals so good. There are exceptions of course but i speak in general terms.
@jason Well that wouldn't make sense because if you watch all of the films and look closely you can see that they talk about the people who lived in the 1st and 2nd FD dying inbetween films.
3 years agoby @frankenfateFlag
@skywise Actually, that's more like -never-, every survivor dies in each film, even if they don't die -in- the film, then the next one still tells about how they died inbetween films. I love these films, but I am actually starting to wonder if the writer is ever gonna come up with a storyline telling they find a new way to finally defeat death and bring it too that.

Tennessee officials agreed Monday to stop enforcing a new curfew used to dislodge Occupy Nashville protesters from the grounds around the Capitol.
The protesters went to federal court seeking a temporary restraining order against Gov. Bill Haslam, arguing the curfew and arrests of dozens of supporters violated their rights to free speech and freedom of assembly.
State Attorney General's Office Senior Counsel Bill Marett announced at the beginning of a hearing before Judge Aleta Trauger that the state would not fight efforts to halt the policy.
The judge said she had already decided to grant the restraining order because the curfew was a "clear prior restraint on free speech rights."
"I can't think of a more quintessential public forum than Legislative Plaza," Trauger said.
This is a huge victory for Nashville and in general, the OWS movement. It shows that you can't just deprive people of their right to freedom of speech and assembly because you disagree with the content of their message. Hell, Nashville had been considering a city-wide curfew just to get around the freedom of assembly right.
I'm proud to announce that I did not vote for Bill Haslam.
I'm happy there are still people with sanity and heart in the state i'm living in.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
All 3 of my children have gone to this school, 2 are still there. I myself went to this school along with my 4 sisters who range in age up to 40 years old. I purposely moved into the district since it was such an amazing school when I attended. I am starting to regret that now. It has definitely changed for the worst. My children who have never had bad grades before, are now failing. When I tell them to raise their hand and ask for help if they don't understand something, they say that they do but the teacher tells them to put their hand down & brushes them off. The principal is very distant from the kids & doesn't seem to care about them at all. I cannot count how many times my boys have been bullied & actually beat up. Also how many meetings I've had with that same principal, where she did absolutely nothing about it. Most of the bullying takes place on the bus, where there cameras. So I don't see why nothing is being done. It's pretty ludicrous if you ask me. Especially with all the schools supposedly cracking down on bullying. My kids beg me to stay home almost everyday. Lack of money keeps me from moving again, so I guess we're stuck
I don't know how you are but this school is awesome and the teacher are involved
I have two children that attend this school I have never been to a school that so unorganized. Also that the parents has to provide things for your kids to go on a field trip. I am also very upset that I filled out for a background check in mar and now it is almost june and still havn't recieve it so I can't attend my kids field trips. You ask the teachers question they are totally lost.
This school is terrible. The fact they don't make the grades to get funding speaks volumes on both the teachers, administrators and parents. I am deeply concerned about my child's welfare going to this school. I had tried to get him out but to no avail, i didn't meet the criteria. My child's education is by far one of the most important things to me and the fact i'm stuck at this school is disheartening. The teachers are a joke with no communication skills and the principal does not seem to care about others opinions and ideas if they don't coincide with hers. The kids do not go to the library or computer lab as a punishment, so learning is a punishment.?!? No matter what my child WILL NOT attend next year.
My grandson goes to this school. He is in the gifted program, which at his old school meant something. At Suburban, it means nothing. His teacher is flat out mean to children. I have witnessed this personally. Bullying is a big problem, too. The principal is uninvolved. The grades at this school are substandard. Communications from the teacher are HORRIBLE. You might as well just guess at what is happening at the school. It's very frustrating. To top it off, my grandson came home with a flyer inviting parents to come to a meeting where they could learn how to keep their child out of prison (among other ridiculous things). My grandson CAN read this for Pete's sake! I find this very inappropriate. It could have been mailed. Bottom line: My daughter will NOT be buying that house in THIS school district. Parents who care should really do some research into this school before they send their kids here. My bright, outgoing grandson went from a kid who loved school to a kid who dreads it everyday.
I have 2 children that attend Suburban Park and I absolutely love this school. I was not thrilled about purchasing uniforms before school started but I am truly happy that evey child is considered an equal. I love the teachers and the principle (who taught me when I was in elementary school).
My son had to transfer to SPES due to us moving and I had heard great things about it. Well to my surprise I became quickly disappointed w/ this school. They never hand out info/flyers for the parents that need to be sent home unlike other schools. You CAN'T walk your child to class. You must ask for the lunch forms when they should be given out at the beginning of the school year. The principal seems like she don't care that much about the school or kids, I have never seen so little involvement by a principal in my life time. They say they want parent involvement but everything has to be by appointment or volunteering. The only thing I can say that is good about this school is my son's teacher and I have a great teacher and parent relationship. The vice principal seems like she cares a lot more then the principal. I wish I could transfer my son back to his old school which is Crossroads Elem. School he did so much better there...and it's just a walk away for us.
I am overall happy with the school, it has lost some of the quality it had over the past few years and I am not thrilled about the uniforms next year. But the school looses points with me with parent involvement. The school wont let you walk your kids to class and doesnt seem as open to having parents visit the classroom or have lunch with their child.
My daughter has been at this school for the past 4 yrs. She is now in the 4th grade. I have nothing but good things to say. The Principal is dedicated to success of all students. The teachers seem to have a genuine concern for each student. The entire staff are polite and courteous. My daughter has made honor roll each and every semester. When it's time for middle school; I pray that it has some of the same qualities as Suburban Park.
My child attened this school for four years. I as a parent have noticed that the school,the teachers, and students have really had a great leap of success since the Vice Principal Mrs. Brock took over the school. She really believes in her kids and more teachers really appear to care. The test scores in all areas are up and as long as she's in charge I can truly see great things continuing to happen.
I have also had 5 children attend this school. Some of the teachers seem genuinely concerned for the academical welfare of the child, while others just seem to be there just to get a paycheck.
My children have been at Suburban Park for two and one half school seasons. The first year was good, but last year and thus far this year I and several parents I have spoken with have noticed a big change. Some of the teachers really seem to care and try their best, but there are too many that seem burnt out or that they'd prefer to be doing something else. No or very little patients. The discipline standards seriously need to be revised. A lot of issues seem to be over looked, ignored, or simply not noticed. There are very few extracurricular activities. It also seems that too many of the children are falling through the cracks and being promoted when they can barely read. I personally am moving my children to another school at the end of this month.
I am new to this school and I have had problems with receiving graded work back in a timely manner,then when your child gets low on their progress reports and report card no explanation is sent to the parent. I don't like the way Social Studies and Science is taught they need to be exposed everyday not one subject for 3 weeks then another subject for 1 week it is not good on the kids at a young age to try to remember work from 3 weeks prior.

Chapter 8:
NPS SUBSISTENCE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, 1990-PRESENT (continued)
D. The NPS Subsistence Program, 1996-present
No sooner had the mid-February meetings taken place than SRC members and other observers began to recognize, to an ever-increasing degree, that NPS staff bore a new attitude toward subsistence issues. (Superintendent Jarvis himself called it a "new paradigm.") Personnel at both the support office as well as the various parks listened anew to subsistence users' concerns, and agency personnel made renewed attempts to solve long-simmering issues related to eligibility, access, and similar topics. And as if to underscore the agency's willingness to sound out subsistence users' concerns, Deputy Regional Director Paul Anderson invited the various SRC chairs to an Anchorage workshop on June 1, 1996. It was the first time that the chairs had met in more than six years; furthermore, the NPS noted that "the meeting was a very positive and productive session and several recommendations resulted." [44]
Even before reorganization was complete, several subsistence experts felt that one significant way the agency could display a new openness toward subsistence issues was by preparing a public document explaining its stance on eligibility, access, and similar matters. As noted above, the NPS had expended a great effort two years earlier in order to prepare a "Draft Review of Subsistence Law and National Park Service Regulations," and shortly after Alaska's NPS superintendents met in mid-October 1995, agency officials decided that this document should be dusted off and used as the basis for public comment. [45] Over the next few months, members of all of the active SRCs were given a copy of the document and asked to comment on it. Copies were also distributed to state officials, regional advisory councils, representatives of Native corporations and conservation groups, post office boxholders in resident zone communities, and others interested in subsistence activities on NPS lands. [46] Bob Gerhard, an ad hoc subsistence coordinator in the regional office, played the lead role in distributing the document and receiving comments related to its strengths and weaknesses.
NPS subsistence staff, after receiving a broad array of comments, held a subsistence workshop in Anchorage on April 14-15, 1997 and hammered out a final draft, which was issued that July. This paper was critiqued once again, and a final copy was completed and distributed a month later. Despite the "final" nature of the August 1997 paper, those who coordinated its completion were careful to note that "the document is living and will continue to evolve." As if to emphasize the open process that produced the paper, each section of it included not only the final text but all comments to the draft and the NPS's response to those comments. Just a week after it was completed, the issues paper was distributed to an assembled meeting of SRC chairs; soon afterward, it was mailed out to local fish and game advisory committees, Native organizations, federal and state agencies, conservation groups, and interested individuals. The NPS produced and distributed more than 250 copies of the issues paper to a broad array of interested individuals: federal and state legislators, SRC members, and other subsistence users as well as to NPS staff. [47]
A project far more massive, and no less important to the various SRCs, was the preparation of a series of subsistence management plans. As has been noted above, Title VIII of ANILCA gave few specifics as to what specifically constituted a "program for subsistence hunting" in the various park units, and because of that lack, the SRCs provided widely varying versions of what, in their opinion, fulfilled that requirement. The NPS, as a result, occasionally fumed that what the SRCs submitted fell short of a "program for subsistence hunting," and although various general management plans called for the preparation of a subsistence management plan, agency officials were loathe to make specific suggestions for what specifically was needed.
Shortly after the reorganization was completed, Superintendent Jarvis suggested that what constituted a "subsistence management plan" was, to a large degree, a compendium of all subsistence-related actionsCongressional laws, departmental regulations, agency interpretations and SRC recommendationspertaining to a particular park unit. Given that administrative road map, he asked if subsistence specialist Janis Meldrum would be able to work together with Jay Wells, his chief ranger and subsistence coordinator, to assemble such a record for Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Work began in the spring of 1996, and by February 1997 Meldrum had an initial draft ready for distribution to the park's SRC members. For the next two years, the park's SRC reviewed and critiqued the plan at its semiannual meetings; in response to members' comments, Meldrum revised and expanded the draft plan. Finally, in November 1998, the public review process had been completed, and Meldrum and the SRC declared that a mutually satisfactory product was at hand. [48]
Meldrum has also compiled two other subsistence management plans. In the spring of 1997, she began work on the Denali National Park SMP and was able to complete an initial draft plan in time for the SRC's July 1997 meeting; the plan, however, did not go through its ninety-day public review period until the fall of 1999, and the SRC did not officially approve it until August 2000. And in the fall of 1997, she began work on a similar effort for Lake Clark National Park. She distributed an initial draft of the volume at the park SRC's February 1998 meeting, and after a ninety-day public review period, the Lake Clark SRC declared the plan complete at its October 2000 meeting. [49]
Two other subsistence management plans were guided, to some extent, by the efforts of subsistence specialist Clarence Summers. In mid-1997, Summers assisted Steve Ulvi on a plan for Gates of the Arctic National Park, and during the same period he started work with Susan Savage (and later with Donald Mike) on a similar volume for Aniakchak National Monument. The Gates of the Arctic volume was initially shown to park's SRC in January 1998, but a draft of the Aniakchak volume was not ready until its SRC met in November 2000. The Gates of the Arctic SRC, along with Superintendent Dave Mills, declared that its subsistence management plan was complete at the November 14, 2000 SRC meeting; as for Aniakchak, the monument's SRC approved its hunting plan at a Chignik Lake meeting on February 20, 2002. [50]
The success of the various subsistence management plans has spawned similar educational efforts at various park units. The goal of some of these efforts has been to educate subsistence users about basic hunting rules and regulations, while other efforts have attempted to educate the general public about subsistence activities and their role in Alaska's national park units.
The first such effort, begun in February 1998 at the request of the Denali National Park SRC, was the preparation of a users' guide that would give condensed, pertinent information about subsistence rules and regulations as they pertained to Denali-area subsistence users. This short report was first presented to the SRC at its August 1998 meeting; the SRC approved a final version six months later, and in August 1999 copies were mailed to all postal boxholders in Denali's four resident zone communities.
Soon after work began on the Denali report, park and support-office staff began work on a similar effort at Wrangell-St. Elias. But based on suggestions from the park's SRC, the agency decided, in lieu of a users' guide, to compile a series of public-education hunting maps and a brochure briefly describing the park's subsistence program to area subsistence users. By early May 1998, the NPS had produced maps for the Northway and Tanacross areas for caribou, for sheep, and for moose. The maps were well received by the residents of those communities. By the following March, copies of the final brochure had been mailed out to all boxholders in the park's 18 resident-zone communities, and two months later, a new set of hunting maps (for sheep, caribou, and moose) was made available to residents of twelve area communities.
At other park units, SRCs have suggested new ways to publicize the agency's subsistence program. In the fall of 1998, work began on a Lake Clark National Park users' guide, and two years later a similar effort began at Gates of the Arctic National Park. The Lake Clark guide was completed in March 2001, while the Gates of the Arctic guide has been finished in draft form. At Denali National Park and Preserve, the SRC opted for a subsistence brochure; unlike its equivalent at Wrangell-St. Elias, this was intended primarily for park visitors rather than area subsistence users. Alaska Support Office staff completed this task in early 2001. [51]
In the years since the issuance of the so-called "Jarvis report," relations between NPS staff and subsistence users have been fairly amicable. This "era of good feeling"which was a decided change from the storminess that had characterized relations in past yearshas emerged for several reasons. First, both park staff and support-office (regional) staff came to recognize both the necessity and desirability of finding common solutions to subsistence-related problems. And as a corollary to that mutual recognition, the agency has been able to provide sufficient staff time and financial support to allow SRC members and other subsistence users to periodically and democratically express their opinions on subsistence-related issues.
Communication has been a key to this "new paradigm." The agency, for example, has encouraged each of the SRCs to meet as often as necessary and has consistently provided funding for travel and per diem expenses, even when meeting in remote, rural locations. In addition, the agency has arranged for annual opportunities for the SRC chairs to meet, discuss common problems, and formulate resolutions of mutual interest. [52] The SRCs, with the agency's blessing, have made recommendations on a wide variety of topics in recent years, and their advice is now sought by the various regional advisory committees on matters pertaining to wildlife and fisheries management within the areas of their jurisdiction. In recognition of that expanded role, the SRCs now often schedule their meetings so that they can take maximum advantage of either 1) submitting new wildlife and fish proposals so they can be considered by a regional advisory committee, or 2) evaluating previously-submitted proposals that affect wildlife and fish populations within a given park unit.
Managing Alaskan subsistence resources in recent years has been a more decentralized process than had been the case prior to the Subsistence Division's dissolution. The so-called Jarvis report had suggested one possible management solutionin lieu of a formalized divisional structure, "interdisciplinary teams (IDTs) would be formed to handle existing and new issues ... each IDT would be ... temporary or long term as the project dictated." Indeed, an ad hoc IDT structure was employed during much of 1996 and 1997 (i.e., during the completion of the issues paper) to accomplish subsistence-related goals; the only formal structure was that provided by a so-called Subsistence Committee of the Alaska Cluster of Superintendents. [53] But as the issues paper neared its completion, subsistence personnel began to recognize the need for some form of regularized organization. In order to provide a periodic forum for the discussion of common subsistence issues, Bob Gerhardwho had been serving as an ad hoc subsistence facilitator since his return to Anchorage in September 1996convened a monthly teleconference beginning in June 1997. [54] This meeting, which provided the opportunity for park subsistence coordinators, superintendents, regional managers and regional subsistence staff to share ideas and opinions, met each month on a fairly regular basis.
The latest change to the subsistence management structure took place in 1999. In mid-February of that year, the various park subsistence coordinators, along with other subsistence experts, convened for several days in Anchorage and established a regional Subsistence Advisory Committee. By forming such a committee, subsistence personnel were provided a designated conduit for evaluating subsistence projects; as such, it put them on a par with their co-workers in the natural resource and cultural resource spheres. [55] Several months later, the Alaska Cluster of Superintendents approved the petition that officially sanctioned the committee. Ever since that time, subsistence personnel have continued to meet once each month; meetings of the Subsistence Advisory Committee have alternated with meetings of the more loosely-affiliated group that had been meeting since June 1997. Another managerial change in 1999 was a direct outgrowth of the assumption of fisheries management on federal lands, which took place on October 1 (see Chapter 9). In recognition of that action, Sandy Rabinowitch became the de facto coordinator of wildlife-related subsistence activitiesparticularly as they related to the Federal Subsistence Boardwhile Bob Gerhard assumed a coordinating role over the agency's subsistence fisheries management efforts.

This school has great feeling of community! The teachers are so wonderful and truly care about the kids. The office staff is super friendly as well. This school welcomes parents to volunteer and my kids love their school!
I have to say Mrs. "C" is by far the best teacher there! She taught all 3 of my daughters for 1st grade and they all, especially my youngest, came out 1 -2 grades reading levels ahead of thier current grade. Awesome job Mrs. "C"! However when the principal Ms. Brightwell was there in 2008 - 2009 school year, she was NOT accomodating my daughter for her dyslexia. Along with Ms. Brightwell was the superintendant Ms.Scriven. This school did not even have a qualified trained special education teacher to help my daughter in order to give her the Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) required by federal law. Now that she is in 7th grade in middle school, they moved Ms.Brightwell to the middle school and my daughter was bullied. They did nothing to resolve these issues after at least 4 times of being notified of this issue. We finally pulled my daughter out of this district and put her in Canon City School (A whole lot better district and school).
All four of my children have attended PES. We LOVE the school, the staff and the community! Can't get better than this for elementary!
Both my children attended this school brand new coming from another state. My daughters teacher was rude and refused to help her when she was going to be out for an entire week for surgery and basically made it sound like she was a liar. I was never informed of any PTA meetings and my children did not feel welcomed at all.
Penrose Elementary is the best kept secret around. But I think this should change. This is why I am posting this rating. We have alot to 'RAVE' about here in our little community. First of all, we have an incredible academic program. Our teachers are committed to excellence regardless of who you are. They keep focused on the things that matter. The reading, writing and arithmatic is not learning of the past in Penrose. Secondly, our physical fitness program is committed to helping your child reach their potential. They learn by playing and participating. We have a music program which includes programs and plays once or twice a year. The kids love that. The teachers make time in the classroom for the arts and crafts which makes for hands on learning all through the year. We don't have to neglect what really counts to be great. It's all here in Penrose.

Netflix claims Amazon's 'cloud infrastructure' caused the problem.
SAN FRANCISCO — Families across the United States will have to rely on other sources of entertainment after Netflix's video streaming service was hit by a Christmas Eve outage. The company, based in Los Gatos, Calif., apologized in a company tweet for the outage Monday night.
The company says on its Twitter page that the outage was caused by "some of Amazon's cloud infrastructure." Netflix says it was working with Amazon engineers to restore the outage, which a company spokesman told the Wall Street Journal stretched "across the Americas."
Attempts to reach Netflix by The Associated Press were unsuccessful.

Exclusive |News
To make up for the failure that was Gyromancer, the original RPG puzzle game king Puzzle Quest is making its triumphant, time-sucking return.
When? Someday. All that was really revealed was an official confirmation and this one screenshot (high-res here).
Puzzle Quest 2 was first teased – or, well, something was teased – a few days ago when GamePro revealed its new January 2010 issue cover, featuring Bioshock 2 and a secret, blurred-out game reveal. The secret behind the blue box was Puzzle Quest 2.
True, it may not be as anticipated as Bioshock 2, but there is a very good chance that people will invest more of their time into it, when all is said and done. Curious about the purpose of the iron fists – a defensive move, perhaps?
Enjoy this first image for now, and my apologies for the GamePro watermark. Such is the right of the media exclusive.

Stephen, I got the first letter and every an individual after EXCEPT Margaret Cho's. Can you remedy that, please?

Some people have the mistaken idea that if the Jews had not rejected Jesus Christ, He would have initiated His glorious earthly reign as the prophesied Davidic King. The New Testament makes it clear that this is not so.
Jesus offered the Jews something they were not ready to accept. What He offered was prefigured in Old Testament prophecy (Psalm 22; Isaiah 53) and became clear following His death and resurrection (Luke 24:26-34). It was revolting and unacceptable to even His closest friends:
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!" But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men" (Matthew 16:21-23).1
Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished. For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again." But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken (Luke 18:31-34).
The apostle Paul later summarized the typical Jewish reaction to the idea of a crucified Messiah:
For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:22-24).
To Jews, the cross was incomprehensible. The only way Jesus could have gained their acceptance would have been to present Himself as the conquering hero they expected—the Davidic King. This was something He never intended to do at the time of His first coming. Although He presented Himself as their King, He made clear that His kingdom would not come about in the way they expected. He was a King who would suffer and die as a servant.
Jesus didn't "postpone" His kingdom because of Jewish unbelief. He inaugurated a kingdom far greater than the national kingdom they envisioned. From the beginning of His ministry, a sacrificial death was at the center of His messianic calling.
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29).
Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" (John 1:35-36).
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:14-17).
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).
[Jesus], being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death
(Acts 2:23).
When Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom of God/heaven was near (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15), the Jews assumed He was about to establish the earthly messianic kingdom. If He had offered Himself as the Davidic King they expected, they would have followed Him. When He performed the miracle of multiplying loaves and fishes to feed the multitude, many were ready to declare Him king; but He gave them no encouragement (John 6:1-15). His pattern of discouraging others from viewing Him as the conquering Davidic King continued up to the time of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Though truly their King, He would not fulfill their expectations (Zechariah 9:9).
Jesus not only failed to fit Jewish expectations for a conquering national king, He also shocked and scandalized them by establishing a kingdom that wasn't Jewish but universal.
The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him (John 4:19-23).
Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way (Luke 4:24-30).
The kingdom Jesus offered at this time was based in God's moral and spiritual power and authority, not earthly political power.
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:36-37).
The authority of Jesus' kingdom was not from this world, but from above. The unexpected manner of Christ's first coming offers the prime example of how important it is to follow His warnings against using prophecy to forecast the future (Matthew 24:36-39,50; 25:13; Luke 12:46; 21:8; Acts 1:6-8). Prophecy is ambiguous before it is fulfilled (See the ATQ articles: Can We Know if Current Events Are the Fulfillment of Prophecy?, Why Aren't Unbelievers Amazed by the Many Prophecies Jesus Fulfilled?and How Often have People Misapplied Prophecy?).
Though Jesus' warnings make it clear that it's unwise to make specific predictions regarding future events, we know that Jesus will return to establish His kingdom. When He does, He will be Lord.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (Matthew 24:29-31).

I've been wondering what exactly qualifies as a low end system now? I built my PC awhile ago and although I run most DX10 games on high graphics WoW has a few chokes for me. I'm hoping the new settings help me narrow down those specific spells that drop my FPS.
I'm not sure what they mean by low system, but if your computer chokes on WoW at -all-, then your computer is not the highest end. Note I'm not talking about internet lag or stuff of the sort, but if you have a stable connection, you shouldn't even see twitches in Dalaran.
I have a reasonably high end computer I built, 3GH dual core, NVIDIA 9800gt (1gb vram), and 2gb of ram. I always run WoW at max graphics, and my computer often has hiccups in Dalaran (especially outdoors). Sometimes it's load speeds (my hard drives aren't the fastest ever), but sometimes I think it's just processing power.
I'm interested to see how my computer fares at Ultra.
Are you kidding me? I can run the most exacting PC games flawlessly at full graphics settings at 1920x1200 on my PC, but WoW still bogs down at times. It is just a very poorly written graphics engine. I might as well be watching WoW in slow motion when a whole 25-man raid lets loose with AoE.
For instance, when we've been running Naxx25 lately, we pull the entire room before Grand Widow Faerlina and just spam AoE and AoE heals. I'm lucky if I get 2 fps. The same thing happens when we do Gothik by all grouping on the live side, and just AoEing everything down when the gates open.
Dalaran is a joke compared to this sort of thing. WoW also handles this sort of thing very poorly, and better looking games handle it a lot better.
Although this is far from the only (or even greatest) reason for WoW chug, one non-obvious thing is that WoW uses significantly more semi-transparent textures than more modern games. Many effects that a game designed only to run on higher-end systems would achieve with a shader, Blizz achieves with semi-transparent textures so that it will run on lower-end systems. However, this means that settings that increase the processing cost of semi-transparent textures (like anti-aliasing the contents of semi-transparent textures) have a disproportionately large effect on WoW performance. It also means that many extremely modern cards get worse perf than you might expect because the cards and their drivers are not being optimized to work with "old techniques" like large numbers of semi-transparent textures. If your drivers support different profiles for different games and you have some kind of semi-transparent texture anti-aliasing turned on, you might see if turning it off just for WoW helps. I find that WoW, on my GeForce GTX 280, takes about 50% more perf hit from going form None to Multisampled to Supersampled semi-transparent textures than more modern games.
On a related note, in WotLK, they improved their depth-sorting algorithm for semi-transparent textures at the detriment of perf. But the plus is no more objects disappearing because you're looking at them through the edge of a blade of grass.
Still, none of this is really at the root of the Dalaran problem. (you notice these more in areas with lots of trees and/or ground clutter) Dalaran - like Shatt before it and Ironforge and Orgrimmar before that - is a place where more players gather at once than anywhere else, and WoW's engine has always had trouble dealing with large numbers of players onscreen at once. I suspect it's either CPU or memory-bound, or possibly even some kind of foolishly synchronous network traffic, but I haven't got an 80 yet, so I can't do a lot of testing on my own.

Turn off your "Shadow Detail" option... My friend running an 8800 GT Ultra has problems with it on, but when it's off he's maxed out everywhere he roams. And they're just shadows, nothing too spectacular.

SINGAPORE: Sixteen months into his two-year contract, Singapore Tennis Association's (STA) coach, Paul Dale, is moving on.
The Kiwi, who started work in January 2012, will coach till the end of April.
Replacing him is Slovenian Tomaz Mercinger, who worked with Dale in Thailand previously.
Dale was brought in to help STA's half-a-million-dollar programme to groom champions.He is leaving to pursue another opportunity, travelling and coaching India's rising tennis star, K U Singh.
Dale claims to have exceeded the targets set since his arrival, and thinks his departure would not be disruptive. He said: "There is maybe a change of gear needed, anyway, because when I came in, there was a certain role. I had to develop and build and pretty much go back to the basics and build it through. It took about six or seven months before any results occurred and then the results started to come quickly."
The improvements have been substantial, as the boys' rankings got better - from 2200 plus to the 500-600 range. From here, the climb gets steeper and the new coach's skills as a mental specialist, critical.
Tomaz Mercinger said: "They have to become aware of their emotional state and be able to control it. They have to become aware of certain mental traps that happen in tennis, like, for example, if you are leading too much you might relax too much. It's a trap and the opponent will catch up and stuff like that."
Most of the charges are resigned to the change, hoping it will be for the better.
"The coach has to get to know us and catch up with what the other coach has left off with. Our weaknesses and stuff...he has to learn what our weaknesses are," said tennis player Isaac Ong.
On the bright side, three more players have just joined the original 2012 quartet.
To date, about S$280,000 from the S$500,000 has already been spent. But the Singapore Tennis Association says it is going to pump in another $100,000 and is also getting parents and players to help with the fundraising so that the programme continues. - CNA/ir

I love a good dart tip; I came across this one in 'Home Journal' (1954).
Fifties seamstresses were advised to use 'brown paper to press out smooth darts.' Admittedly, I haven't actually used brown paper, I didn't have any to hand, instead I just whipped some regular paper out of my printer.
Below I'm using paper to press a cotton linen mix. Despite pressing hard on a very high temperature, there were no telltale marks coming through on the right side. This also worked well on seams.
The most useful application is when you have those tiny, fiddly shoulder darts. Using paper allowed me to get the iron right over them without worrying that I'd be left with unsightly marks.
These pictures are actually of my final summer dress project, I'll be posting on the completed summer dresses next week.

London is used to relying on reminder notes and a trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a new boy at school enters the picture. Luke Henry is not someone you'd easily forget, yet try as she might, London can't find him in her memories of things to come. When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash- forwards , as the case may be, she realizes it's time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.

Heart Disease Health Center
Aspirin-Plavix Combo: No Clear Edge
March 13, 2006 (Atlanta) -- A combination of the blood thinner Plavix and aspirin is no better than aspirin alone at preventing deaths, heart attacks, and strokes in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease, a study of more than 15,000 people shows.
And in people with multiple risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, the combo may do more harm than good, reports Deepak Bhatt, MD, a cardiologist at The Cleveland Clinic.
The findings do not change recommendations that people who have recently had a heart attack continue taking the drugs, Bhatt stresses. You should talk to your doctor if you have any questions about prescribed medications.
Just as unexpectedly, he says, people who had suffered a previous heart attack or stroke appeared to benefit from the one-two punch.
"It's intriguing, this dichotomous result," he tells WebMD. "Overall, though, [Plavix] plus aspirin is not significantly more effective than aspirin alone in reducing the rate of heart attacks, strokes, or death from cardiovascular disease in this broad population of high-risk patients."
The results, which were presented here at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology, were simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Plavix is already used to prevent future heart attacks and strokes in people who have suffered such events. And aspirin is a mainstay of heart disease prevention, with millions of Americans popping a low-dose tablet each day.
The new study was designed to see if the combination might be useful for a larger group of people.
Both drugs interfere with platelets, which clump together to form the blood clots that can cut off blood supply to the heart or brain, causing heart attacks and strokes. But the drugs act in different ways, so the researchers wanted to see if combining the two works better than one alone.
Some Benefits for Heart Patients
The study, dubbed CHARISMA, included 15,603 people who either had multiple risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, or who had established cardiovascular disease, defined as having had a previous heart attack, stroke, or poor circulation in the legs.
The participants, who were all at least 45 years old, were randomly assigned to receive either aspirin plus Plavix or aspirin plus placebo for an average of 28 months.
A total of 6.8% of people on the Plavix combination suffered a heart attack, stroke, or died from cardiovascular causes, compared with 7.3% in the placebo group -- a difference so small that it could have been due to chance.
When the researchers looked only at the 12,153 people with established cardiovascular disease, however, the addition of Plavix did have benefit, with only 6.9% of them suffering a heart attack or stroke or dying vs. 7.9% on aspirin alone.

Kids 17 and under are half price.
Adams County Outfitters is a hunting outfitter located in Blue Creek, Ohio that specializes in providing semi-guided fair chase hunts for trophy whitetail deer. We also offer spring turkey hunts.
The state of Ohio is quickly being known as one of the best places in the country for trophy whitetail bucks. Adams County has been stealing the headlines with the 291" Amish "Lucky" buck harvested in 2006. We also had a 213" BC buck harvested on our farm by our lead guide Brian Hayslip (see article in November 2007 issue of North American Whitetail). Adams County is located in the south central part of Ohio in the Appalachian foothills.
Adams County was one of the three first counties to introduce the Ohio modern deer season and after many years of Quality Deer Management it has earned the reputation as one of the best Trophy Whitetail Buck Regions in the nation. This is rough and hilly country with mature hardwoods and thick underbrush of green briar, wild rose, and blackberries. The kind of cover that allows the big bucks to reach there maturity.
The end of September till the beginning of February we offer semi-guided whitetail hunts. You will be hunting wild whitetail deer in their natural habitat. Our main farm is 370 acres adjoining Shawnee State Forest land. There will be some first time stand locations. We have sighted a few 170 plus class bucks and one 200 class buck on our farm that made it through the 07' / 08' season.
Looking forward to meeting you this year and happy hunting,
Kevin Stang

Alcudia was originally a small Roman town, but stunning natural resources and one of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean have made Alcudia a leading resort in Majorca. Nestled behind a mountain ridge on Pollensa Bay, Alcudia is surrounded by a number of small beach resorts and tourist facilities. Port d'Alcudia is a purpose build resort taking advantage of the white sandy beaches and historical attractions of Alcudia.
Although the old town of Alcudia has no beach itself, an apartment in Alcudia has access to many beaches along the coast varying in size, crowdedness and texture. Marina beach, the main beach from an Alcudia villa, is wide and attracts many sunbathers and kite-surfers, and Bonaire is a haven for water sports, even boasting a small marina where banana boating, scuba diving and sailing can be arranged. The resorts of Port d'Alcudia and Playa de Muro have beautiful white sandy beaches to enjoy.
The nightlife in Alcudia is very pleasant, and although it cannot be described as rowdy, there are some exceptionally nice restaurants which also double up as restaurants, including La Sala opposite the town hall. Shopping in Alcudia is good, with many small boutiques and a thriving weekly market on a Tuesday and a Sunday.
There are many excellent sites to see from a holiday house in Alcudia. The walled town and the important Roman ruins of the Ciudad Romana, including the impressive amphitheatre, have drawn visitors to use holiday accommodation in Alcudia and Pollensa for many years.
Walking and cycling in the mountainous areas behind Alcudia are magnificent options when staying in the Alcudia region. The mountain walks and rides subject you to peace, tranquillity and scenery that you will never forget. Golf has also emerged as a popular activity from a holiday villa in Alcudia, Northern Majorca. There are now two golf courses, of which the Club de Golf Alcanada is the more taxing, with 18 links style holes.
Puerto Alcudia has gained a reputation as one of the best Mediterranean holiday destinations. The stunning beach is backed by a throng of shops, restaurants and bars, and is generally considered to be the nicest beach in the whole of the Mediterranean, which is certainly not an easy title to gain! The marina on the Paseo Maritimo is a great place to charter a yacht and take to the waters, and the Water Park and karting track should entertain children on a family holiday using a holiday rental in the Alcudia area.
The resort of Playa de Muro is the gateway to the wetlands natural Park of S'Albufera, a remarkable area of natural beauty and diverse wildlife. Walking and use of the unbelievable beaches have allowed the Alcudia holiday apartments and villas in Playa de Muro to treat holiday makers for many years. Scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing, kite surfing and sailing are hugely popular activities in the safe bathing waters of Playa de Muro.
Even during the height of summer, the beaches and walking trails of Majorca are a pleasure to explore, as temperatures are usually below 30˚C, with average temperatures in July and August of 25˚C. Winters remain mild, seldom dipping below 10˚C.
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is located 5 miles east of the Capital, Palma. There are many busses and taxis which connect the airport with the rental villas and apartments of Alcudia.

This gift book introduces one of the greatest Renaissance masters through his drawings.
A short illustrated essay opens the book, describing Michelangelo's life and the background behind some of his greatest works, including the Sistine chapel ceiling and the 'Last Judgement'. The book then illustrates a selection of his most important drawings with short captions, from sketches jotting down preliminary ideas to highly finished studies - all proving how integral drawing was to the artist in the process of perfecting his ideas.
In all the illustrated works, from portraits to architectural studies, from complex studies for the Sistine chapel to his moving Crucifixion scenes, the genius and inventiveness of the artist is apparent, making this the perfect introduction to the work of an unsurpassed master draughtsman.
