Entry Ticket #10 The Tattoo Girl – Chapter 8
"Oh I love you! Love you so much. You saved my life…" Alma Busch tells Dmitri Meatte on page 61. Dmitri though turns out to not be Alma's savior, treating the tattoo girl like scum when he's finished having his way with her. It seems that Alma has a way of attracting abusive men. Is the tattooed girl a victim or does she just bring everything that happen to her on herself?

The Tattooed Girl – Entry Ticket: Part III, Ch. 16-18
"She has saved my life.
Yet: of all the words known to me, there are none. Her touch." (Oates 274)
For most of Part II of the novel, Alma harbors an intense loathing and hatred for Seigl. However, when he is in the hospital undergoing radical chemotherapy for his illness, she softens towards him and becomes his caretaker. Soon after this she rejects Dmitri and asserts herself. What causes Alma's hatred for Seigl to turn into adoration and caring? Can it be attributed to a single instance, or is it a combination of events?

From The Tattooed Girl, by Joyce Carol Oates:
"I'm the only living person now who loves you." (109)
Using quotes from Jet's dialogue, does this statement come from genuine love, desperation, or fear? Does greed play a part?

Discussion Question: The Tattooed Girl by Joyce Carol Oates
On page 289, Alma says that Jet did not come to her brother's funeral. "His sister who'd struck her. His sister who had sent the mutilated book. His sister who had peered into the Tattoo Girl's heart." The quote suggests that Jet was the only one to have seen Alma for who she really was. Do you think that this quote is true? Or did Jet's unhealthy attachment to her brother cause her to make accusations about Alma's character?

From The Tattooed Girl by Joyce Carol Oates:
"He didn't know how he felt about the tattoos. They made Alma a novelty, which is good, but they were amateurish, the ink was faded. Like scribblings, some asshole jabbing with a needle. On the back of the girl's neck, on her right shoulder, belly, buttocks, on the inside of her thighs. On the belly there were what looked like open gashes leaking blood. Or the raw female cunt leaking blood. Sick-o. But some guys would like it, Dmitri knew." (Chapter 8, Page 60)
Does the amateurish nature of Alma's tattoos dictate her place in "normal" society? If the tattoos were of professional quality could she have been more generally accepted despite their placement (especially the facial tattoo not mentioned in the quotation)? Is it the nature of the tattoo or the mere presence of the ink that determines how Alma will be viewed and valued by society?

When I was reading this book, I got this weird sense of deja' vu about the Tattooed Girl herself, and then it dawned on me, she is a lot like Frankenstein's creation in a manner. She seems to have been brought into the world, but was denied things she desired and needed. She doesn't really know how to approach Seigl in the story as she herself has been harshly hurt by other men in her life
"As in High School she'd tried to make boys love her who'd gone out with her once, twice, three times then dropped by saying weird wild things that flew into her head." (pg 101), "It was trying to figure out why they'd tattooed her, the guys she's trusted. Feeding her vodka and some of meth? Crystal? She'd never know, what the fuck difference did she was fucking grateful to wake up afterward… sweating so she'd dehydrated to the point, they would inform her at the ER, her kidneys and liver near about collapsed like sinkholes, leaving her to be found like trash behind a Big Boy Dumpster by the river." (pg 150).
With these simple relationships, it is no wonder why the Tattooed Girl is so messed up on a personal level. So my question is this: Can she be considered a monster in the story because of her past or because of her actions she choice to live her life? I mean, her actions to Seigl are pretty unjust, and even at the end she regretted what she did as she did love the guy, but with her past, is it any reason WHY her actions need reasons?

From The Tattooed Girl, by Joyce Carol Oates:
"But she was in love, and wanting to die. Wanting to scream, claw, tear out his throat with her teeth."(98)
Alma apparently has a distorted view of love. This particular quote shows her hostility toward him, a desire to do him physical harm. She also shows no concern for her own life. If what she feels toward Dmitri isn't necessarily love, what is it that keeps her desperately clinging to him, despite the cruel treatment she receives and her own feelings of hostility?

"She's shy. Not stupid. Of course she feels intimidated, put yourself in her place."( Page 86).
The following quote is followed by the line " Not very likely, though: that Joshua Siegel could put himself in Alma Busch's place. How is the way Joshua Siegel is portrayed in the beginning change throughout the story (regarding his relationship with Alma).

(…And all the papers and crap he has in that house. "Manuscripts"! Like it's something holy, he's the messiah and hot shit. Like the world should give a shit about him." (p. 149)
The tattooed girl obviously has conflicted feelings about Seigl. She admits he is kind, courteous, and a gentleman, yet she feels she despises him. Seigl is not very religious while the tattooed girl seems to have more of a faith. Though she attends church regularly she seems to have problems with religion. What part does religion have in her dislike of Seigl? Does it revolve around her ignorance with religion? If not, is her reasoning for disliking Seigl reasonable?

"For Christ's sake don't revere me, I'm not worthy of you. You have lived and I have never lived."
- Seigl says he wants to shout at Alma when he thinks of her meek voice. She reminds him of his students who wrongly revere him, and he is afraid that she too reveres him. Why does he really feel so undeserving of their adoration? He continues to push people away, yet in moments of weakness he loathes himself for it. What does this say about his perception of himself?

"Doctor? I'm calling to cancel our appointment this afternoon…why the hell do you think? Why would one of your 'nerve disease' cases cancel an appointment with you except there is no further need of you in his life?" (166).
Seigl is constantly going to the doctor's office and complaining. He goes so far as to have a "nerve disease" and then miraculously "feels better." Does this signify a hypochondriac attitude, or does it mirror his moods through his life? After his "recovery," he feels adrenaline, makes a hot date, and buys a new car, but they don't go according to plan, why not?

"He'd become one of those distrustful patients who, intelligent and educated and accustomed to being deferred to, can't accept the passive role but must press their doctors for information, facts; interrogating instead of listening, like lawyers" (Oates 44). What does the narrator's hypochondriac personality tell the reader about his personality? Defend your answer with support from the text.

'once you were accused, there could be no escape. AFor you would be tortured until you confessed, and when uyou confessed you would be executed. And anyone could accuse you. And you could accuse anyone" (189)
In this story, Alma reads a book on witch hunts in the 14th centure that Joshua gave her. she seems to connect with thses women who were tortured as if she was one of them. Does he feel this because of the hate she feels toward the men who tattooed herand her tattoos that "condemn" her or because she feels just as trapped as those who were accused of being witches?
Posted by: taylor Leonard at March 23, 2011 01:53 PM
"Joshua, I can't believe you're so- willfully-ignorant." pg 132 .
When Jet comes to visit Siegl we witness their strange relationship ultimately resulting in Jet having an outburst. Do you agree or disagree with Jet's remark? Is it possible she only said this because she is jealous of Alma's position in Siegls life. Provide examples.

"He felt a wave of revulsion for the ignorance and cruelty of history; for the fact of his own involvement, as one who chose to know such things." P. 79
Do you think Seigl is referring to his intensive study of the Holocaust? If so, do you think it is ironic that he is standing in front of a woman, conversing with a woman, whom horrible things have plagued her own history, without his knowing?

1. In chapter VI of Joyce Carol Oates, The Tattooed Girl, Seigl falls in Mount Carmel Cemetery while running. Oates writes that,
"For philosophers is to wish to believe that the human mind transcends the contingencies of time. To be a philosopher is to believe that the human mind is not yoked to time; philosophy is of the timeless spirit, while history is solidly of the earth." (49)
If he believes himself to be a philosopher, why is he trying hard to find what is failing his health instead of fulfilling his life?
Posted by: Katie Ganning at March 23, 2011 02:33 PM
In Joyce Carol Oates' The Tattooed Girl, Joshua Seigl rarely interacts with Ethan, Sondra Blumenthal's son. On page 218, Seigl has an internal monologue where he states that: "He's telling himself if he plays chess well, this man who has barged into his life will marry his mother and become his father." Since Joshua was a chess prodigy himself, he thinks the child is seeking to impress him through chess. Is this thought of Seigl's the product of him planting his own childhood thoughts and desires onto the child, or is he being honestly insightful, not delusional? How does Ethan's disappointment at losing affect Seigl's sense of self-worth?

On page 266, Oates says "Seigl felt ashamed ofhimself, without knowing exactly why." At this moment do you feel that Seigl related with Alma becaue he had created his own contriteness, or do you feel that it was different because Alma's self-confidence level was hindered so much by the people she hd been aroun for her life and not simply by her own pride?
Posted by: Meghan Donovan at March 28, 2011 09:55 PM
Throughout most of Joyce Carol Oates' novel The Tattooed Girl, Alma blindly hates her employer, Joshua Seigl, because she thinks he is Jewish. When she finds out he is not, her reaction is profound:
"There was a roaring noise in her ears like distant waves. Alma stood as if dazed. Not a Jew! Not a Jew!"
How, then, does one see ignorance demonstrated as dangerous? Do you believe Alma truly repaired her opinion of Seigl after this revelation, or do you feel her change of heart was false?

Wilson Premier Baseball is Set to Execute Its Mission in Providing Travel Baseball with Only the Best. Offering Live-Streaming, Game Footage, Daily Reports, and Game Highlights.
Great experiences drive all of us. So much that some of the most popular clichés focus on experience – 'Enjoy the ride', 'Seize the day', 'Stop and smell the roses' - are repeated more often than we care to acknowledge. In the busyness of today's world, most of us are so focused on the end game that we forget to savor the present. Even during times that are life's most exciting and encouraging, we are somehow slow to remember the process is at least as special as the final result.
Often times, life simply boils down to our experiences, right?
Wilson Premier Baseball believes in the power of the experience. Yes, high-level travel baseball pits the best of the best against each other with players in search of college scholarships or professional baseball opportunities. It certainly is fastball velocity, bat exit speed, pop times, and dash times. But it doesn't have to exclusively be the means to an end, there is an opportunity to relish the now and take in all that the moment provides that later becomes a one-of-a-kind experience.
To facilitate that, to ensure what a player, coach, parent, scout and other will experience at an event is nothing short of exceptional, Wilson Premier Baseball is set to take on a summer slate with an unparalleled experience. And a significant part of that includes a best in class multimedia presence.
Wilson Premier Baseball is proud to partner with Localive to provide live streaming of all games played at the Wilson Premier West and East Championships. For anyone who downloads the app, Localive will broadcast all of the action between Phoenix and Sarasota in real time.
"Everybody who is involved with this company are all parents of multiple kids," said Localive founder Chris Dyson. "Eventually when we finally started saying 'why can't I get my kids game on my cell phone?' I decided to do something about it."
A parent of two baseball players who powered through the travel baseball circuit, both with multiple Division I offers and one currently a freshman player for the University of Florida, Dyson knows all too well of wanting to watch the action, but being unable to do so.
"You just can't be at two places at one time, as much as we all try," Dyson said. "With travel ball, with everything else going on, you just can't be at every event, you're not going to be able to get entire families, never mind grandparents, cousins, friends, other relatives, other interested parties, they're not going to be able to go.
"What this allows parents, families, friends, relatives to do, is to be able to, either on-demand or a scheduled format, be able to see these events in real-time, live, anywhere in the world from any device."
After a year's time of work in building Localive, Wilson Premier will be the first event where Localive is introduced.
"When we talked to Wilson Premier, they run their events and they have the same philosophy as to what these events should be that we do. There's no reason that this can't be a tremendous experience for the families. If you take away the experience from it, and take away the joy these parents, players and friends have, with just sheer competition, I think you're losing a big part of it. If we can bring more of that to people, that's what Localive is all about."
In addition to the live streaming of games, the video presence at the Wilson Premier Championship events will extend into sharing the stories of the players and coaches involved, as well as capturing all that goes into why Wilson Premier is leading the way in providing a first-class experience for all involved.
SkillShow will be on hand as Wilson Premier's videography service, capturing the moments that live in the minds of all involved for years to come. SkillShow will capture everything from the lighthearted moments the players enjoy outside of the lines to the tense on field experience each event is sure to produce with such high level players laying it all down in pursuit of a championship.
Established in 2001, SkillShow is the leading authority in amateur sports in providing video services for showcases, tournaments and events. A college baseball player at Villanova, before a four-and-a-half year minor league career in the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals' systems, founder Tom Koerick Jr. is looking forward to bringing SkillShow's services to Wilson Premier.
"I love telling the stories at these events," Koerick said. "The challenge with just a recruiting video is you're not telling any stories. You're helping individuals, but when you get to an event, I go back to the fact I'm a baseball player, I can't go to an event without seeing some awesome story about a kid who's persevered, a kid who's got some challenges in his background, obviously a star player, I love that stuff. I love the stories, I always want to be able to share that.
Versed in capturing game footage, doing daily reports, working with talent, creating game highlights, Koerick is ready to provide all SkillShow can offer to Wilson Premier.
"I'm excited to work with Wilson on this unique concept in the event space. If we can be in it early on, and be a great partner, that'd be exciting for us."
In front of the camera will be Amanda Gonzalez, joining Wilson Premier Baseball this summer as multimedia reporter and on-air host.
"Working in sports has been a dream of mine," Gonzalez said. "I really love people, I like asking questions and I like learning and sharing. I appreciate the entire process of digesting a story and being able to be the voice."
Gonzalez joins Wilson Premier Baseball as not only a broadcast journalist, but one with an extensive background in being central to executing an exceptional experience for a sport audience.
A Southern California native, Gonzalez, raised in the baseball hotbed as an Angels fans, has been in the world of professional sports herself for the last four years as a member of the Los Angeles Kings Ice Crew. As a part of the Ice Crew, Gonzalez helped make sure Kings fans were treated to a world-class hockey experience by supporting in-arena events and promotions, as well as aiding the Kings' charitable efforts with on-location appearances and community engagement.
In Wilson Premier's commitment to providing travel baseball teams with an unparalleled experience, Gonzalez is a perfect fit to anchor the summer Championship and Classic event media operations.
"With Wilson Premier Baseball, I appreciate everything they stand for, with their focus on the experience," said Gonzalez, who has covered baseball events from Perfect Game's World Wood Bat Association World Championship, the Chicago White Sox' Amateur City Elite signing ceremony, ABCA National Convention and the Dodger Stadium College Baseball Classic. "I'm excited to work with players, teams and individuals to help promote their journeys and experience."
With a passion for storytelling, Gonzalez will go inside the action, from the first pitch in Phoenix to the final out in Sarasota, with daily recaps, interviews, player spotlights and more, providing Wilson Premier Baseball with an unmatched media presence.
"It's a huge responsibility, but I take pride and there's passion in meeting new people, and being able to build relationships with an audience through providing exposure of an experience."
The experience. Wilson Premier Baseball is set to execute its mission in providing travel baseball with only the best - and with Localive, SkillShow and Amanda Gonzalez - all skilled in providing first-class services to sporting events, we're ready to show all of what that entails. So go ahead, enjoy the ride, it is sure to be well worth your time.

Nottinghamshire Police has started working on an innovative new hate crime perpetrator programme with local authority partners, the National Holocaust Centre and Nottingham Trent University.
It is aimed at challenging the thinking and behaviour of people who have committed, or are at risk of committing, a hate crime or hate incident. Initially it is being aimed at young people, but eventually will be available for all hate crime perpetrators.
The programme uses the National Holocaust Centre, a world-renowned resource.
As well as serving as a lasting memorial to victims of genocide, the centre is a place of education that challenges prejudice and discrimination and includes The Journey – the first exhibition in the UK built purely for the purpose of educating children about the Holocaust.
The Journey follows a Jewish family living in Berlin in 1938 and takes visitors through their experiences of hate crimes and isolation, ultimately ending with some members of the family going into hiding. The Journey ends with the chance to speak to a survivor of the Holocaust.
By exposing visitors to the most extreme example of hate crime in living memory, the programme aims to encourage people to consider the impact of their behaviour and the consequences of hate crimes.
The perpetrator programme includes sessions before and after the visit to the exhibition, where the group are asked to consider the implications of their actions and who they may have affected.
James Griffiths, Director of Learning at The National Holocaust Centre, said: "By taking people into 1938, we're creating a 'safe' environment for them to consider their own actions and the impact they have had on other people's lives. Crucially, we want them to understand how one isolated incident of hate crime can escalate and explain the far-reaching implications of their actions. We've already had positive feedback from local students who have attended the exhibition, who have drawn real parallels with modern society."
David Alton, Hate Crime Manager at Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Hate crime is an issue that affects people deeply – it's a personal attack on someone. Nottinghamshire Police takes all reports of hate crime extremely seriously and we're delighted to be working with the National Holocaust Centre and Nottingham Trent University to tackle this issue. By educating perpetrators and potential perpetrators, we're hoping to shift people's perceptions of the impact of hate crime and encourage them to rethink their behaviour."

Our reliance on access to the net will become greater in the near and distant future.
The use of the internet is pervasive. We use it for email and data sharing, video chat and VOIP, archiving and commerce. How can your needs be met? Is a cable modem sufficient? Do you need Metro Ethernet? Is Gigabit Internet right for you? Does your Dayton business need a 5 Meg Internet circuit, 10 Meg Internet access, a 50 Meg circuit, or a 100 Meg access to The net point?
Accessing the internet: Ascertaining Your Business Need
Your business must assess its real needs. This must be done before an appropriate service can be chosen. Perhaps the net is only used for a few things such as email communication or surfing the web. Is real time data connection with cloud servers essential to your business? Are you hosting the data in Dayton and distant locations or offices rely on you?
What happens if you have an outage in your high-speed Internet? Can your business afford the downtime? Is uptime required? You must answer questions like these so you can make a purchase that actually meets your needs
High-Speed Internet Solutions in Dayton: Evaluating Differences
Plainly stated, companies require high-speed Internet access. Before you choose your broadband, look at the costs and benefits. Performing this analysis is an important step in picking the right one for your organization. While many providers throw around terminologies such as:
- Fast access to The net is for you!
- Corporate Internet
- We provide broadband cable modems
- Metro Ethernet
- Gigabit Ethernet
- MPLS service provider
- Providers of point-to-point circuits
- Internet access circuits-five megabyte
- Ten megabyte Internet access provided
- We have fifty-megabyte Internet access circuits
- High-speed access to The Internet circuits-100 megabytes
- Leading SIP trunk authority
- Dedicated or "specific" Internet access
- … and that is only a few
… you must not lose sight of the real issue, which is understanding what technical solutions best meet your needs.
Business Internet access for Website Surfing
Companies in Dayton need access to the net for their employees. Some companies may need it only for a few people and others may need it for the entire workforce. It may be needed for organization research, to order office supplies or other reasons.
Perhaps the size of your work force may determine the solution that best fits your needs. If you have a handful of employees, a 5 or 10 Meg Internet circuit may be adequate. If you have more than that, you may need more.
You may not need as much high-speed access to The web if your employees work primarily on an intranet system with limited graphics and video. However, employees who must often download documents, images and videos, need that speed.
Do you routinely backup? Synchronizing your backup data after doing remote backups from every desk requires you to support simultaneous connections out to the web.
Does your business use a file sharing service? DropBox? Google drive? As people save files, those files are pushed to the cloud and then synchronized back to other people's computers. You need to have sufficient bandwidth to support this function while also supporting every other service.
Depending on your location, high-speed business access to The web, including Metro Ethernet and gigabit Internet may be viable options. Usually, you can find these in "lit buildings" in Dayton that have been previously wired by a carrier. It may be shock you to know that installing high-speed Internet access may not be particularly expensive or inconvenient.
Introducing Metro Ethernet to a new building can be expensive. Bringing a connection to a suite within the building is not. Depending on availability, it is often possible to obtain high-speed access to The net with Metro Ethernet or gigabit Internet in 30 days or less.
High-Speed Internet access Required for Hosting Applications
Does your company host its own servers? Does your company use the hosted servers to run data feeds, APIs or websites for offices or businesses located elsewhere? Do fifty or so branch offices need access to a hosted application at your company headquarters? Is your organization retail? Do you have thousands of stores? Do you host the point of sale system for the entire chain? Are you a law firm hosting data for multiple office locations?
When data, programs, or information is hosted centrally, those outside your office must gain access. If your Internet connection goes down, those people are unable to work. Can your intranet solution support your needs? Can it support multiple simultaneous connections? Is it stable enough to handle this when they are from various places?
A cable modem or fairly cheap 10-megabyte circuit may be enough in certain scenarios. For example, these may meet the needs of a single office surfing the web. It is advisable that high-speed Internet access be available at the central company office or headquarters, including gigabit Ethernet, Metro Ethernet or some other high-speed dedicated circuits. While high speed is great, you also need support for your multiple diverse connections. This could probably not be accomplished with a cable modem.
Shared Cable Network in Dayton V. Dedicated Bandwidth: Which Should You Choose?
In many cases, installing an inexpensive cable modem comes at a price. Even though you pay less money per month you must consider that the bandwidth you receive may be shared and used by multiple parties in the building. During peak use hours, you may not be able to reach proper speeds. Often, within a given community, cable companies may only deliver a particular amount of bandwidth. Different buildings and tenants housed or working within those buildings all share that set amount of bandwidth. You might be capped at 30-megabyte speed, but may never be able to actually reach that speed during the important hours of your business day. Will there be trouble if your expectation is set at 30 but you only get 8 or 10?
Some providers offer customers dedicated and guaranteed bandwidth. In this scenario, the bandwidth is fully allocated to you and your company or business. No one else uses it. Regardless of other tenants in your building or neighboring buildings, you should receive the full capacity of your circuit.
With Metro Ethernet, for example, you can receive a guaranteed bandwidth in various increments including 5 and 10 Meg circuits, and 50 and 100 Meg circuits. If you want to reach gigabit speeds from your business out to the internet, you can by using a gigabit Internet provider.
In these scenarios, carriers deliver a large quantity of high-speed to a building. The quantity must be enough so that it can split the circuit and deliver to every tenant. Whatever amount has been guaranteed in each tenant's contract is the amount they receive.
High Speed Business Internet Circuits in Dayton, Ohio: How About Redundancy?
The truth is that circuits can go down in Dayton, Ohio even though some providers offer superior Internet bandwidth products. How can you lower the chances that you will experience some kind of outage?
Consider redundant circuits.
Essentially, there are two different ways to look at redundancy.
The first is where you get multiple circuits from one carrier. Redundant circuits can help protect against certain problems. They can mitigate the inconveniences when there is a failure of a physical line or a problem with the port into your router. However, if that carrier has a regional outage or physical line damaged outside of your building, both circuits may go down. While offering some protection, it is not without risk.
You can also achieve redundancy by utilizing different providers to bring in and establish your circuits. Using advanced routers and IP address allocations, you can bind these connections together so that, to your users and to the public, it appears and behaves as a single circuit. Truthfully, they are entirely separate. They are redundant and exist in case one of them fails. Diversity redundancy, as this is called, offers you more protection that you might realize. You will still have a live, fully functioning carrier if one fails.
If you want to maximize redundancy in Dayton, Ohio please consider the following question: Do the carriers I am considering use the same physical geographic pathways? Basically this means that you want your circuits to enter your building on different sides or paths. Ideally, the circuits will be going in different directions and toward various central company spaces or data centers. By doing this, if there is a significant problem such as a fire at a data center, you have redundancy in an alternative physical direction.
What Are the Costs Associated With Not Adequately Protecting Your Business High-Speed access to The web?
Even though Internet access comes with a cost, you will save money if you make sure it is dependable. Unreliable access will end up costing you more in the long run. Think about the following situations:
Your business telephone utilizes voice-over Internet Protocol, or VoIP as it is commonly known
Your office uses a cable modem and, in addition to you, the carrier provides 10-15 additional tenants with circuits. Any of these tenants may be taking many calls, conducting huge downloads or streaming video during your regular office hours. As the amount of available bandwidth diminishes, what happens to your phone calls? How will the quality of that phone call be affected? Are calls lost or dropped? Perhaps you will sound choppy or will be inaudible.
Your office is the main data point for various other offices
Your office may be the working center of an entire business enterprise. The kind of business does not necessarily matter. You may be a law firm doing file sharing, an accounting practice sharing databases or a retailer operating a distributed point-of-sale system. Whether you have 2 sites, 250, or 2000, they all count on your primary Internet connection to retrieve data and information. What if your circuit fails? Would it annoy you or destroy you? Are remote offices able to work at all? What happens to new orders? Can they be taken or processed? Share information? Picking the right a solution can be difficult. Before doing so, be sure you fully understand your requirements. What if you are a software company? Perhaps you are running a hosted solution and it must be used by multiple customers; maybe even hundreds. Do you operate a service where other systems talk to yours by using an application program interface (API)? For example do other systems gain access to yours in order to calculate rates, prices, or to collect information that you serve up? What will happen when there is a problem connecting to your servers? How long will your customers tolerate repeated outages?
Your business call center utilizes voice-over Internet protocol (VoIP)
Your company is 100% reliant on the net to properly function. No outbound calls can be made should your circuits go down. Your representatives would also be unable to answer calls. You are now officially out of organization. While most reputable call centers are already aware and using redundancy, is it enough? Are the providers that you are using reliable enough? Is the quality of service sufficient? Are your calls clear and reliable?
Picking the Right High-Speed Business Access Circuits for Your Dayton Company
You have no shortage of options. Your company budget and needs will play a large part in your decision-making. As a wrap-up:
Internet Access for Smaller Businesses
A single fifty, ten or five megabyte access to The web circuit may be sufficient to meet the needs of your small organization, particularly if you have only one location and are not worried about redundancy. Gigabit service and Metro Ethernet options seem expensive. If you are in a lit building, however, they can be less than you think. Look into it. Prices change based on your location and the availability of circuits. Please speak with our engineers about what options best suit your needs.
Mid-Sized Businesses access to The web – One Location
If you have a midsized organization in Dayton, Ohio, you will need higher-speed access to The web. Higher-speed circuits like Metro Ethernet, gigabit Internet or others may be your best options. Using different circuits and different providers will, if you choose, provide you with redundancy. Achieving this may cost extra but it won't double your costs. For example, choosing two 50 meg circuits versus one 100 meg circuit. Again, costs and availability vary. Speaking with one of our experts will help you determine the options available in your specific location.
Access to the internet for the Mid-Sized Organization with Several Offices
If your business has several places or offices, you are at great risk for failure. Redundant circuits are essential. Multiple providers or carriers are recommended. Additionally, you should consider redundant equipment (routers and switches) in your facility to minimize the risk of downtime. Have you looked at Metro Ethernet providers, gigabit Internet providers and other high-speed access to The net circuit providers? You should do so before making a decision. The correct combination of providers and services can keep your company running smoothly and efficiently.
If you are a larger company, an enterprise company or a are in the company of providing services using the Internet
Gigabit Internet circuits, point-to-point high-speed Internet circuits are essential and Metro Ethernet Internet circuits must be utilized by companies in any of these categories. Having redundant hardware as well as redundant circuits from different providers will ensure your needed uptime. You do not want any slowdowns or interruptions that often occur during spikes in usage. Avoid this by having sufficient bandwidth. Be sure to have the right circuits and hardware. They both must be able to support multiple, fast, concurrent connections.
You Can Get a Free Internet Need and Demand Analysis
There is great risk of failing circuits or insufficient bandwidth. You need to have the right circuit or circuits to meet your demands while staying within your budget. Choosing the right mix of circuits and hardware is a daunting task.
Our engineers will analyze your needs and requirements and develop a free action plan for you. We'll examine your current usage and demand levels then create a design that provides you with the resources you need to keep your company running smoothly at a reasonable cost.

By now, you know about CNN's idea that backfired. They decided to add another dimension to the DNC coverage and mike Don Mischer as he directed the post-speech hoopla. Well, in a classic Spinal Tap Stonehenge moment, 90% the balloons got stuck in the rafters and Don did what any of us would do - drop several hundred F-bombs. Live. On CNN. The Most Trusted Name in News®.
Our question of course, is: Why? What was the purpose of this? It's a horrible insult to the audience. We certainly know it's staged. Why not let the viewers enjoy the moment and see it as if they were there? Nope - CNN has to to something clever! It's an event that happens once every four years, so let's make it special!
Wow. Did they ever. Note to CNN: The XFL tried this with the coaches' communicators. How're THEY doing these days?

I remember the excitement of participating in my first political campaign so clearly. I was 17 and a few months into my freshmen year at The University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was already enthralled with college – my newfound independence, new friends, and beautiful new city. It wasn't just any city, Madison is one of the most politically active college campuses in the nation – it was a hotbed for the Vietnam War protests and when I was there protesting was still a way of life. One especially cold day a bunch of kids even protested winter (a cause we could all get behind in Wisconsin).
It was the Kerry-Bush election and the election was taking place a week before my 18th birthday. I was excited to join "College Democrats," but embarrassed to admit that I couldn't vote yet (this was the time in your life when being young was uncool). I was out on election day encouraging people to vote and envisioned scenarios in which they would say, "When did you vote?" and I would have to admit that I couldn't vote.
That night I watched the election results in someone's dorm room with my new boyfriend and new friends. When the election was called later that night for Bush I remember feeling powerless and down. My newfound political activism was squashed and at 17 years old I was already adamantly against another 4 years of Bush.
Three years later in my Senior year I advocated passionately for Hillary Clinton –despite the fact that Obama was probably the cooler candidate for young people to support. I would ramble on to anyone about why I was supporting Hillary. I voted in my first primary.
My next election memories involve being in New York City and sitting in a quiet bar with a friend on the Upper East Side, staring at the TVs, when they announced Obama's victory. That night I could hear people on the streets (28 floors down from my apartment) celebrating. It was my first taste of the excitement when your side wins. I also remember sitting in a huge conference room at the law firm during the inauguration and asking my new boyfriend (and future husband) when would be an appropriate time for me to leave the room to pee. Maybe it was excitement or maybe it was because I always have to pee, but I was so uncomfortable and squished in the front row making it impossible for me to get up and come back discretely. As a paralegal we never wanted to draw extra attention to ourselves in a room full of associates and partners so I sat through the moving inauguration ceremony trying not to pee my pants.
Two years after that I would work on my first election campaign for a Senator. It was one of the most exciting times in my life. I lived and breathed the election working 7 days a week and spending all my time with the rest of the staff. I had the exciting moments of meeting Presidents Obama and Clinton, but I also remember the sheer exhaustion I felt leading up to the election. We had a big glass wall in the office and I started the countdown to election day on it, crossing off a number each day we survived. I have never worked so hard in my life and never slept or ate less (anyone who knows me knows that if I am not on a regular meal schedule something is very wrong in my life). All of my energy went to the campaign. I felt such sheer excitement and giddiness that election day. As part of the finance/fundraising team our job was basically done so we got out of the office and on the streets. We did "viz" which basically means standing on the side of the road holding signs, wearing tshirts and hats with the candidates name on them, and getting people excited about voting. They called the election pretty early for the Senator that night, at about 8:30pm, and I remember it being an almost anti-climactic experience in the moment. Did that really just happen? Was that it? What now? Later that night we were like kids at a slumber party jumping back and forth on the beds in our hotel room.
This election I have followed the news, watched every debate with outrage (and then importantly every SNL skit mocking the debate), and tweeted my heart out, but it wasn't the same. It was harder for me to volunteer alone without being in a dorm or on a staff where we all did it together. Tonight I stopped making excuses and made 30 campaign calls with only my dog as company. I felt better than I have felt in weeks because I remembered the thrill of being part of something important. Tomorrow I am going to New Hampshire to canvas. Canvassing isn't the most fun and to be honest I am not even sure whether it makes a difference or not. But at the end of the day it makes a difference to me and to know that I still have the passion of that 17 year old freshmen who was so excited at the opportunity to volunteer and was truly devastated at not being able to vote yet. As I am a week away from my 30th birthday I finally get that chance to vote for Hillary Clinton (the first female candidate for President!) and am remembering the pure joy in volunteering for a cause and participating in the democratic process.

(A Gay Man Raising His Inner Diva)
Following a critically-acclaimed run at the 2016 international Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Christopher Wilson's new one-man musical cabaret about becoming a gay foster father to an adolescent black girl has played sold-out performances at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre Cabaret; the Toronto Centre for the Arts Studio Theatre; the Social Capital Theatre; Don't Tell Mama in New York City; and The Registry Theatre in Kitchener.
In this deeply personal and autobiographical story, a gay, white, suburban man suddenly becomes 'Mr Mom' to an adolescent, black, urban girl. White-knuckled on a roller coaster of teenage angst, this new parent falls off the precipice into the mystery of black hair, menstruation, boyz, and ultimately mental health and addiction. Often comedic but always honest, this one-man musical cabaret is a poignant and sometimes heartbreaking story of love, cultural understanding, and desperately trying to find your way!
Two Kittens & A Kid is written and performed by Christopher Wilson, directed by Ryan Kelly, stage managed and lighting designed by Justine Cargo, with dramaturgy by Ryan G. Hinds. Christopher Wilson is a professional performer, arts educator, and independent producer whose credits include both national and international appearances. Beyond Boundaries is a professional, project-based theatre company.

Here's a 49ers draft preview I wrote for the Press Democrat's Thursday sports section.
Anquan Boldin will be a free agent in 2016. He is one of the best third-down receivers in the NFL, maybe ever. Twenty-seven of the catches he made on third down last season resulted in first downs — tops in the NFC. The Niners need a possession receiver who can replace him in 2016. Former East Carolina receiver Justin Hardy is one of the best possession receivers in the upcoming draft. The Niners can get him in Round 4.
The 49ers don't have a long-term replacement for cornerback Chris Culliver, who signed with the Washington Redskins this offseason. After he signed, the Niners gave a cheap one-year deal to cornerback Shareece Wright — a nobody. A short-term replacement at best. Former Stanford cornerback Alex Carter would be a much better replacement. The Niners can draft him in Round 3 — the same round they drafted Culliver in 2011.
The Niners tried to prepare for Justin Smith's retirement two years ago when they drafted Tank Carradine. If they still thought he could replace Smith at defensive tackle, they wouldn't have signed 33-year-old Darnell Dockett this offseason. The Niners need a top-flight defensive tackle, and they can get one in Round 2. Former Ohio State Buckeye Michael Bennett is one of the best in the draft.
Now that Frank Gore is with the Indianapolis Colts, the Niners have just one running back under contract through 2016 — Carlos Hyde. His backups — Reggie Bush and Kendall Hunter — are signed only through 2015. Both are injury prone. Neither likely will be with the 49ers after next season. The Niners need a quality running back to pair with Hyde in the future, and they can find one in Round 1.
With the 15th pick in the 2015 draft, the 49ers will take former Georgia running back Todd Gurley if he's available. He simply is too good for the Niners to pass on him. Some draft experts think he's the best running back to come out of college since Adrian Peterson. Gurley probably would have been a top-five pick if he hadn't torn his ACL last October. If some team takes him before the Niners, they will draft a replacement for Justin Smith — former Texas Longhorn Malcom Brown, a quick, powerful defensive tackle.

Who will the Browns pick first?
- Updated: March 7, 2017
The NFL Draft is always a great time of the year. Some teams get better, some waste their picks, but it's always exciting. And it's always fun to follow all of the mock drafts out there. I'm not sure exactly what the football odds would be on who the Cleveland Browns are taking first overall, but it's a tough guess this year.
Usually, there is a clear cut number one pick, but this year not so much.
Sure, many consider Texas A&M's Myles Garrett to be the best player in the draft, but if you're the Browns can you afford not to take a quarterback? The reason they pick so high every year is because they don't have anyone remotely competent to play the position.
Would they really take a pass rusher? Sure, they are important, but the Houston Texans have had J.J. Watt for years and still had the first pick in 2014. The Texans are a prime example that you can't get very far without a quarterback, even if you have elite players on defense.
The Browns could always trade down and acquire more picks. They'd probably still get a crack at Mitch Trubisky, DeShone Kaiser or DeShaun Watson. But, if I'm then and I like one of those guys, don't mess around. Just draft him with the top pick and try to move forward.

08. March 2011
Women without Borders / SAVE has gathered the voices of women from around the world to celebrate the occasion of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. The statements remind us of the strength and commitment of our sisters around the globe
We are looking back on 100 years of global women's commitment to making the world a better place for everyone - for women, men and children. It has certainly been an uphill struggle and our journey is not yet over. Women have shaped the most important movement of the 20th century, changing the way we live together in families, in communities, and in the public arena. Women have proven that they carry a lot of moral authority- corruption is at its lowest levels when women are involved in decision making bodies, good governance is more often executed when women are walking the halls of power, and civil society led by women is challenging despotic regimes. This global female energy will contribute to positive change. Women without Borders is proud to be a part of these exciting developments.
Today we announce the new SAVE Witness Project, which puts a face to the tragic aftermath of terrorist attacks. The project will be led by women and create a network of eyewitnesses who provide the young generation with alternative role models. These witnesses will share their stories to promote reconciliation rather than revenge. SAVE Global is creating new pathways for the young generation to gain access to testimonials of the consequences of terrorism, in order to expose them to the reality of the dangers of extremist ideologies. Women as mothers, educators, journalists, and activists will lead the way for this SAVE Global Counter-Extremism Education Campaign. Rather than implementing an educational campaign years after the occurrences, the SAVE Witness project seeks to act swiftly and comprehensively at the height of the threat of terrorist activities around the globe.
We wish you a happy International Women's Day, and congratulate you for taking a stand, both in your own life and for the advancement of the women around you. Let us not forget: the personal is political!
Our SAVE Sisters celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day: Strong voices from the ground:
On the 100th anniversary of the launch of International Women's day it is important that we recognize that millions of women worldwide are still being discriminated and disadvantaged though war and conflict. I hope that through our partnership working with Women without Borders-SAVE, we can work towards including women as agents of change just as our sisters achieved 100 years ago. In Northern Ireland we continue to support the women through education and awareness raising sessions so that the ethos survives for decades to come.
- May de Silva, Northern Ireland
Tomorrow 8 of March, women worldwide will celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women Day. Yemen is going to celebrate it too and join the global events that will take place on such occasion. However, this year and particularly this time, things are different here. Despite all the challenges that it faces, Yemen lives in a historical and critical moment.
The Yemeni people are on alert as the wind of change has swept from Tunisia, Egypt to Yemen. Like other Middle East countries, young people are the fuel of these new revolutions. Protests in Yemen (in Sana'a, Taiz, Aden and other Yemeni cities) become semi-daily and protesters camps occupied squares in those main cities. In such atmosphere, there is no much to say about 8 March and the desire to celebrate it becomes even less. Despite the advantages of International Women's Day, it saddens me that in the celebrations, I just see those few educated and elite women; a thing that does not represent all the Yemeni women.
In Yemen the majorities of women are illiterate and live in rural areas where they are less connected with media and rare-informed. Those women won't celebrate the 8th of March, simply they have never heard about this day so it is meaningless to them. Actually many Yemeni women would be surprised to know that some countries observe the 8th of March as a national holiday. Finally, instead of holding conferences, workshops and similar events on International Women's Day, I wish to celebrate it differently and do something concrete for women who are in need of support and who need to be empowered. For example, if we could just go to any village in Yemen and live one day with those hard-working women, honor them and show them some appreciation. I just wish on the day of 8th of March that we could connect the Yemeni women with their sisters around the globe - every Yemeni woman would wait for such a day impatiently. Will this day come?

To read the full statement from SAVE Yemen, please visit our blog
During my work as a journalist and activist I have come across so many stories of women in Yemen whose lives could have been much better had they known that they had alternatives. "I did not know who to turn to", "I did not think that I had a choice", "I was too weak to object", "I was told that my opinion did not matter" are a few of many statements I hear over and over again. These women needed to feel that they are not alone in their ordeal and that they have the right to better treatment, support and a dignified life. Unfortunately during conflict, women and children are always the most vulnerable. They are the first to be sacrificed and the ones hit hardest by tragedies. But they are also the ones who put the pieces together and find strength to reconstruct families and societies in the aftermath of disaster. Tapping into women as a resource of strength for any society is a sure plan for progress and stability. Today, Yemen is going through political instability as the tide for change sweeps across the region. Surprisingly it is a number of women who, alongside men, are leading this change. Yet as always, politics is made by men and victories are negotiated by men. It is in such times that we need to pay close attention to the women of the society and involve them in the decisions that will shape the future of the country. We need to empower women and involve them in decision making so that they feel that they have an alternative and that their opinions matter.
- Nadia Al-Saqqaf, Yemen
Indian women are articulate, argumentative and empowered. Their voice is being heard and respected both at home as well as in the Indian Parliament. Increasingly, they are at the vanguard of civil society movements demanding justice for their sisters and others. Whether it is in Kashmir or the conflict ridden areas of northeast, it is they who suffer the most when blood is spilled on the streets or their sons are killed. It is important that the voices of our sisters in different parts of the country get louder and stronger, that they are heard. It is important that women believe in themselves and realize that they can make a difference in the way peace is negotiated. Women have to join forces and come out on the streets to fight atrocities, be it in Kashmir or Cairo! It is time to get into the driver's seat. SAVE India is helping women do just this and more. It is helping women realize their potential to make a difference both at home and outside.
On this International Women's Day, I would like to congratulate all those women who showed the courage to raise their voices against the tyrant rulers in the Arab world. I do hope that soon SAVE's efforts will be able to throw out those who promote extremist ideologies and spread fear through acts of terror.
- Archana Kapoor, India
The woman that can deal with her pain can deal with anything. I believe as a woman, a mother and a sister that I have the power to change the situation through my humanity and my strength. I believe in my voice. My voice can reach everywhere, demanding a safe future for my kids and my nation through me as a woman. Just believe in yourself.
- Siham Abu Awwad, Palestine
My name is Moira Jilani and I live in Jerusalem, Palestine. My beloved Husband and best friend, may he rest in peace, is the reason why I call this monotheistic city Home. Even though it is one of the most difficult places on the planet to live it is the most rewarding at the same time. The women of Palestine over the years have given me so much strength without even knowing it. These two quotes remind me of the strength of Palestinian women:
"A woman wears her tears like jewelry." -unknown Author
"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
-Rosanne Barr
- Moira Jilani, Palestine
It is time for us to understand the need for mothers to be part of the solution and not to be used as pawns for those in power. It is time to understand the value of human life, and the consequence of violence. It is time to realize that no one is free until all are free, and that the energy we can bring as mothers and sisters and daughters can bring about this freedom. We must take our place at the table of negotiation and refuse to move away until reconciliation is achieved.
- Robi Damelin, Israel
Women are pillars of the Nation; if they are good, so is the Nation;
If they are bad, so is the Nation.
The above saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has inspired Indonesian women to engage in a movement to promote peace. Through the Mothers for Change! Campaign, Indonesian women nurture peace in society starting with the smallest social unit, our family. We believe that women and mothers are the first school for children, through whom peace values are implanted and nourished.
To commemorate the International Women's Day 2011, it is timely that we rekindle the spirit of gender equality and justice as reflected in Indonesia's constitution and in international conventions and declarations. This vision will not be achieved without support and participation of other segments of society, especially men. Power should be newly defined to mean sharing and empowering, and not dominating or oppressing. Cultural taboos and stereotypes inhibiting women from making progress in the public sphere should be removed. Roles and responsibilities should be equitably shared, to end the multiple burdens saddled on women. Only then can the Prophet Muhammad's saying above be materialized, i.e. a good nation with the contribution of half of its population, the women. Happy Women's Day 2011.

Here are some of the issues considered in depth at this veritable library of useful information:
"Democrat party
I am a member of the Democratic political party am I dammed along with Nobama?"
Dammed. Hm, I'm not sure I get it. By the way, I think the answer is yes.
I was suckered in about global warming. What should I do now?"
The answer seems to be equipping yourself with a stock of preposterous lies. Well, that's pretty much their answer for everything, so nothing new here.
On a rare occasion I meet someone who is derogatory about the president. Should I just ignore them?"
Rare occasion? What, don't you ever come out of your basement? This is so crazy, considering that this whole site consists of loathesome attacks on Barack; however, I thought you'd like to see part of their answer:
"Independent studies have revealed the ratio of false left biased news stories to honest reporting is over a hundred to one.The single most important thing that I can suggest to anyone is to rely on Fox cable news for your information."
I swear to God I didn't make that up.
"Follow The Money
Several Hundred Million Dollars have been spent on Nobama, Where did it come from!!"
Ready for the answer? Here it is:
"If you believe their story that it was collected in $1 and $2 on the internet then don't read any further as your gullibility is beyond belief and no amount of facts will enlighten you.....We, like everyone else, cannot find the hidden source...."
Of course, that didn't stop them from devoting several hundred more words to snide allegations seeming to have something to do with Pakistan and Tony Rezko.
Finally, I leave you with a picture of Obama, from this site. I think he's the yellow one in the middle. I don't quite see the resemblance.

This stunning timber frame cabin is ready to provide you exceptional lodging for your Island Park Vacation. Located in Centennial Mountain Shores, with sweeping views of the Centennial Mountains, this beautiful home has all the romance of the wild west, and all the comforts of luxury lodging. 30 miles from Yellowstone National Park, 10-15 min. walk to Island Park Reservoir, views of Sawtell mountains and many, many more activities. Kitchen is well equipped. Kitchen table seats 6 to 12, 12 folding chairs, fold out table in pantry seats 8 & kitchen Island seats 3. Plus additional seating with outdoor picnic tables. Volleyball court, ping pong, foosball, horse shoe, tether ball, hot tub during the summer months only.
Island Park
Yellowstone National Park
The property is located at 3491 Arange Peak Court, Island Park, Idaho 83429.
Sonia Rahman-Fredj purchased this cabin in 2016
We never tire of exploring Island Park, Idaho and recently fell in love with and purchased Papa Bears Cabin. It is a fabulous location, secluded, walking distance to Island Park reservoir and just a short drive to amazing outdoor adventure; Yellowstone Park, rafting down Big Spring river, fishing, wildlife photography and more! It is the best place on earth.
Yellowstone National Park, water skiing on Island Park Reservoir, snowmobiling, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, site seeing and many more...especially peace of mind.
We tested the limits and you really can sleep 22 here. Our group was there for a week around the eclipse, and we had a wonderful time spreading between the great room and kitchen area mornings and evenings and heading off to Yellowstone, hiking, etc. during the day. It does require taking turns sitting at the table for meals, but the kitchen was roomy enough to allow more than one cook to stir the pot. Ping pong, foosball, horseshoes, volleyball, the fire pit and the hot tub all drew people out and around and kept us from ever feeling too crowded.
Here are some details if you want to fill the house like we did: On the first floor the fold-out sofa in the great room is comfortable enough, but not good for late sleepers. The fold-out sofa in the "office" off the great room makes a nice private room. The lucky people in the master bedroom need to share their shower with the other downstairs folks, but there's also a half bath downstairs for other bathroom needs. The upstairs folks (10 total, 6 in kings and queens and with the 4 bunks filled) in the main house said that they could hear what people said very clearly, so don't tell any deep secrets while they're up there! You can sleep 5 in the room over the garage with one on the couch, or even more with a sleeping bag or mattress on the floor--other rooms do not have enough space to spread out on the floor. The teepee has a mattress for one and room for two or three more sleeping bags. I found the teepee surprisingly comfortable, but it's very dark and lots of places to trip, so not advised for those who get up in the night. Some of us took showers in the evening and some in the morning, and we never ran out of hot water. Pretty amazing and fun, and we all left still good friends!
The house and accomadations were excellent. Very clean with all the comforts of home. The kitchen was particularly impressive, with all the items you need for a large group. Location is not great for a snowmobiling trip as access to groomed trails was difficult. The bedroom configuration needs to be fully described in the listing. The issue was that 4 of the bedrooms were upstairs, with only one bathroom to service those rooms. Downstairs was a master suite with an attached bath, and a half bath. We did not utilize the great room above the garage as it was detached from the house. The downstairs garage area was not available to park snowmobiles as there was concern over marking the floor. Hot tub was not available, as it was located outdoors. Taking garbage to the dump was an inconvenience, as this is located on the access road 8 miles from the cabin. Snow removal was an issue for us upon arrival as well as the first morning of our vacation. Parking was plentiful. The owners responded to concerns as best as they could, looks like this would be a 5 star home.....in the summer
Perfect stay. There were 13 of us and the place easily accommodated that. The place was in excellent condition and Sonia was extremely responsive to our questions/issues.
About 30-40 mins from the West entrance to Yellowstone, although we saw a lot of wildlife around the house (elk, moose, birds of prey).
Highly recommend Boondocks for somewhere to eat locally. Very accommodating for large groups, excellent food and great service. Food takes a little while to arrive but that's because it's all prepared fresh. Only about 5 mins from house. NOTE: They only take cash, no credit cards.
Highly recommend the cabin - you won't regret it.
Extended family from East and West Coasts (14 to 79 yrs old) stayed in this home for a week. It was exactly as advertised! We used just about everything offered -- we brought our own volleyball, played tetherball, ping pong, foosball, and used the fire pit (you can buy wood nearby) and of course, the hot tub. The beds were comfortable, two refrigerators/freezers were fabulous to have, and there was plenty of room to spread out. Made the trip into Yellowstone 5 out of 7 days. It's not close in, but we thought the trade off was well worth it! You will not be disappointed.
We just returned from our stay in this beautiful cabin. The pictures don't even do this cabin justice - it is even more spacious and lovely than we anticipated. Our family reunion had 21 of us there. We had teens, young adults, and adults and we all enjoyed the amenities of the property and the location. We appreciated the extra folding table and chairs to help feed everyone at mealtime. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked and they had every gadget available - including a potato masher to help with our guacamole! We loved having the extra fridge in the garage and the large griddle for pancakes for our crowd.
As far as activities - we drove into Yellowstone one day and appreciated the closeness to West Yellowstone(35-40 minutes). The park/grassy beach at the lake was wonderful. Although it is more like a 15-20min walk, it's only a 3 min drive - there was a nice parking lot at the park for us to be close enough haul our chairs and rented canoes to the lake. The lake wasn't near as cold as expected for our July visit. And the grassy area was wonderful for frisbee and those who were just enjoying watching the water activities from the shore.
One day we rented ATV's and enjoyed riding them on the nearby trails. I don't usually do laundry while on vacation but we sure enjoyed being able to do some laundry after the dusty trail rides. The second machines in the garage made it even better for our crowd of dirty folks.
I was concerned that having to haul our own trash to the city landfill would detract from our fun - but it was no problem at all since the landfill is just off the main road - we passed it anyway often.
The owner of the cabin was very helpful. I emailed twice with questions and had responses within 12 hours. We had no troubles during our stay so I didnt try to contact them by phone.
We loved our time at Papa bears cabin and would highly recommend it. We have rented from VRBO several times and this ranks up there as one of our top experiences.
We loved our stay! The property is beautiful, meticulously maintained, and clearly decorated with an artistic eye to detail and quality as well as beauty of furnishings. The owners could not have been more friendly andaccommodating.

Uni to Mark Professor's 40 Years in Medicine
THE lifetime work of a Cardiff University professor who contributed to one of the most important medical breakthroughs in the last 50 years, will be honoured this week.
Professor Anthony Campbell is a leading advocate of the idea that science begins with curiosity and can lead to discoveries, which explain how the living world works and evolved.
A celebration of his 40 years at Cardiff University's School of Medicine will be held on Friday and will feature speakers from Cambridge University, the University of Paris and the Darwin Centre.
A leading member of the university's School of Medicine's research team, Prof Campbell was one of the inventors behind a series of patents filed by the school. The technology has since helped transform clinical diagnosis and is now used in hundreds of millions of clinical tests every year.
As a result of this work, the School of Medicine was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher Education in 1998 and the technology was selected in 2006 by the Eureka project from Universities UK as one of the 100 most important inventions and discoveries from UK universities in the last 50 years.
Dr James Matthews, a senior lecturer, Infection, Immunity and Biochemistry at Cardiff University's School of Medicine said: "Prof Campbell is truly one of the school's most dedicated and highly respected members. …

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A company is planning a $1.75 billion project that includes laying 160 miles of natural gas pipeline in West Virginia and Ohio.
Columbia Pipeline Group announced the investment in a news release today. The proposal would help transport up to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.
Columbia expects to start construction in fall 2016 before putting the pipeline in service in the second half of 2017.
Columbia said the project will support natural gas development in western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio by linking to Marcellus and Utica shale deposits.
The new pipeline would ship more gas to the company's interchange in Leach, Kentucky, where it would head to other markets. It will cut through Marshall County in West Virginia and head west to southern Fairfield County, Ohio.
"These newly announced investments reaffirm our commitment to this important region and will increase the capacity and flexibility of the Columbia Transmission and Columbia Gulf systems to further enhance transportation options for producers in Appalachia," Columbia Chief Executive Officer Glen Kettering said in the release.
The initiative includes long-term service agreements with Range Resources-Appalachia, Noble Energy, Kaiser Marketing Appalachian and American Energy Utica.
West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration said the pipeline would boost the economy. Columbia did not spell out job creation projections.
"Today's announcement by Columbia Pipeline Group will provide construction jobs and help companies develop additional markets for their natural gas while keeping a significant portion in the region," said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin spokesman.
A second component will allow for more Appalachian shipments through a corridor stretching to the Gulf Coast by primarily adding compression for existing pipelines. Columbia expects the improvements to move more than 1 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and environmental agencies will undergo reviews of the project, said Columbia spokesman Katie Dupuis Martin.
Columbia Pipeline Group is run by Merrillville, Indiana-based NiSource Inc. Columbia's companies have about 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline and 37 storage fields. The company delivers more than 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas annually.

Your diet should focus on whole foods that are unprocessed and as fresh as possible. Although it's difficult to have a diet that is 100 percent whole foods, shoot for this as a goal when you prepare meals. A whole foods diet will be much richer in nutrients and enzymes than packaged, processed foods are.
Examples of whole foods include whole grain breads and cereals; fruits; vegetables; fresh fish, poultry, and meats; and nuts and seeds. Essentially, foods that have not been processed are whole foods-just the way nature intended them to be.

Why Obama represents a totally new breed of black politicians
BY Ade Sawyer
Will Senator Barack Obama win the Democratic Party nomination, and go on to become the first black president of the United States?
It does not matter whether he wins or not, because his performance to date in the Democratic primaries has highlighted the fact that
there are several black politicians who are holding high office in America, and have the power to change things.
Like Obama, they have done it in a different way. They are not seeking justice for black people with anger, or protest. They are not expressing grievance about the state of race equality, or complaining about victimisation, or making symbolic gestures for, whilst seeking endorsement from, the black community.
