Multi-Instrumentalist Todd Green in Concert• March 26, 2013 Share:
Wabash College's Visiting Artists Series will present Todd Green in concert at 8 p.m., Thursday, March 28, in Salter Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
Todd Green began studying guitar at the age of ten and has been writing and performing his own music professionally since the age of fifteen. He studied composition and arrangement at Berklee College of Music in Boston. At the same time he was studying privately with Mick Goodrich, jazz guitar legend at New England Conservatory of Music, Pat Metheny, Grammy Award winning guitarist, and George Benson, international recording star. After spending five years in Boston, he moved to New York City where he performed with studio musicians and toured with bands throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
While in New York, he began studying Western Flute, East Indian Bansuri Bamboo Flute and Tablas (Indian hand drums) with Ray Spiegel. At the time he relocated to western Montana and decided to concentrate on acoustic music. After spending 10 years there he then moved to Northern Nevada near Lake Tahoe where he has lived since 2001.
The Thursday evening program will feature original compositions by Green, drawing on a variety of styles of world music. The selections will be a combination of composed pieces and improvisation. Using various combinations of his many unique and unusual instruments from all over the world, which he will explain throughout the concert, Green will take you on a musical journey, inspired by the styles of many different countries and cultures.
Seating for Visiting Artists Series events will be by general admission, though free tickets are required.

In addition to his concert, Green will conduct a public workshop on Wednesday, March 27 from 12 to 1 pm in Salter Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center.

We're like children, we're not men! Classic line of a favorite Seinfeld episode I got to watch again the other day called "The Engagement." I can't help smiling even as I recall it to write this article.
Jerry and George are in the diner (as usual) whining to each other about their love life. George ended a relationship because the girl liked to say "Happy, Pappy?" to him. Jerry just broke up with someone because she shushed him. "I've got a real thing about shushing", he tells George.
Then there is a "eureka" moment of disgust.
"What is this? What are we doing? What in God's name are we doing?"
- "What?"
"Our lives! What kind of lives are these? We're like children, we're not men!"
-"No, we're not. We're not men."
"Are we gonna be sitting here when we're 60 like two idiots?"
- "We should be having dinner with our sons when we're 60."
"We're pathetic, you know that?" - "Yeah, like I don't know that I'm pathetic!"
"Why can't I be normal?"
- "Yes! Me too! I wanna be normal!"
"It would be nice to care about someone."
- "Yes! Yes! Care!"
George then talks of remembering Susan, the serious girlfriend who worked at NBC, and how he liked her. He says "You thought she was good looking, right?", to which Jerry asks why he should care what he thinks.
Then the really hilarious scene takes place between Jerry and Kramer. You have to watch this for yourself to appreciate it and get the full affect. Go ahead. I'll wait.
- "Absolutely not! What are you thinking about, Jerry? Marriage? Family? "
- "They're prisons!!! Man-made prisons! You're doin' time!! You get up in the morning? She's there! You go to sleep at night? She's there! It's like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. "Is it all right if I use the bathroom now?"
What happens next is George shows up at Susan's door and asks her to marry him, while Jerry breaks up with the latest woman he is seeing because she eats peas one at a time. George feels betrayed. He assumed Jerry was going to go right out and get married, too.
To wrap up, the rest of this episode shows George restrained from doing what he wants to do with Jerry because he is "stuck" with Susan or needing her permission. He is depressing himself because she wants to see a chick flick instead of the action movie with Jerry, because she asks if he is going to wear the shirt he is wearing out to the movies, and because he can't watch the Yankee game Jerry called him all excited about because Susan wants to watch something else.
It is one of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld because it makes me laugh out loud every time, it's brilliantly and insightfully written, and the delivery of the actors is remarkable. So what is my point in taking so much time to recall this episode? Hmm, I forgot. Oh, yes....the point Jerry makes that he and George are children, not men.
I believe the writers of this episode have it correct; that the love life of many singles is childish. There is often a grossly immature and unrealistic approach to the people we date, rather than a firmly grounded, mature one. That there is too much concern with the "now" rather than the future; with selfish preferences rather than an unselfish acceptance of another human being; with a need to find someone who will pleasure us at all times, rather than a desire to serve.
It is very much the occupation of a child to behave in the "now" with only a concern for the "now" and with only a desire to get what they want, when they want it. There is no concern for what anyone else might think or feel or want.
Taking a childish approach to your love life only leads to the same fate that any child experiences; namely, dissatisfaction and harm. If a child gets their way, they become a spoiled brat who must always have their way. Subsequently, they become adults of very little use to others, let alone to love and marriage.
As funny as this episode is, all of us know (sad to say) that there are people who actually DO break up with someone because of an expression that person has that bugs them, because they eat peas one at a time, or because they were shushed.
More to the point, we know that break ups happen because there is an unwillingness to accept the other person's ways, quirks, etc, because finding someone who never annoys you and who is always pleasing to you is of such high priority, there isn't a person alive who can ever get past the hyper-sensitive filter you have created.
Thus, the childish dater (one who is steeped in immaturity) refuses to recognize how difficult they, themselves, are to be around and live with, and how blessed they should feel that someone wants them despite their setbacks and issues. Like a child, they can only act on the impulses of self-pleasure and gratification, crippling them from ever having a healthy, mature, adult relationship with someone of the opposite sex that leads to authentic mutual love and respect, and marriage that desires to serve.
Kramer convinces Jerry that marriage is a prison, where you lose your freedom, your mobility, your autonomy, your very self. He hardly desires to serve, nor to have a relationship built on mutual respect and compromise. He does not see any joy in sharing a life with someone. It's true that marriage requires this compromise, but when you are in love, it is not only a joy, it is personally fulfilling to share such a life.
Poor Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine, as well as anyone else in real life who are like these characters at any level. I guess we know why these people are not married.
Jerry was right. "We're like children, we're not men." He should have changed once and for all. Don't make his mistake and remain childish. The love you seek demands you shed your immaturity.

John F. Sherry Jr., professor and chair of marketing at the University of Notre Dame, has been selected as a recipient of the 2006 Marketing Science Institute/H. Paul Root Award.
The honor recognizes Sherry and two co-authors for the paper "Creating a Market Orientation: A Longitudinal, Multifirm, Grounded Analysis of Cultural Transformation," which appeared in the October 2006 issue of the Journal of Marketing.
Sherry, Gary F. Gebhardt of the University of South Florida and Gregory S. Carpenter of Northwestern University will be recognized by their peers Feb. 17 at the American Marketing Association's Winter Marketing Educator's conference in San Diego. Their article was chosen by members of the Journal of Marketing's editorial review board for its significant contribution to the advancement of the practice of marketing.
With a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Illinois, Sherry focuses his research and teaching on the sociocultural dimensions of consumption and the cultural ecology of marketing. For the award-winning paper, Sherry and his colleagues followed seven firms as they sought to become more market oriented, a goal that is becoming increasingly important to both marketers and managers. A theoretical model was developed to explain how firms create a market orientation, and findings suggest that the organizational changes the firms experienced were primarily cultural ones.
Sherry returned to Notre Dame, where he earned his bachelor's degree, as the Raymond W. and Kenneth G. Herrick Professor of Marketing in 2005. For two decades, he was a member of the marketing department at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management while also serving as a corporate consultant. Sherry is a fellow of the American Marketing Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology as well as a past president of the Association for Consumer Research. In addition to authoring and editing numerous publications and articles, Sherry also serves on the editorial review boards of nine professional journals.

Ratings & Reviews
A woman learns to love life when she finds out she won't be around long in this comedy. Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) lives in New Orleans, where she works in the cookware department of an upscale gourmet supply shop. While Georgia carries a torch for Sean (LL Cool J), one of her co-workers, she doesn't have the nerve to tell him, and despite her estimable skills in the kitchen, she lives frugally and doesn't put her talent to use. Georgia's good friend Rochelle (Jane Adams) often tells her that life is short and she needs to live a little, but she doesn't pay her much mind until a visit to the doctor reveals that Georgia has a very rare medical condition, and only has three weeks to live. Throwing caution to the wind, Georgia cashes out her life savings and heads to Europe for a last bit of revelry. She checks into a four-star hotel, trades her drab clothes for haute couture, finds herself flirting with a handsome and powerful politician (Giancarlo Esposito), convinces the head of a cooking supplies firm (Timothy Hutton) that she's a high-powered executive from a rival company, and makes friends with a four-star chef (Gérard Depardieu). But when Sean learns the truth about Georgia's condition, he sets out to find her before their chance at romance has passed. Directed by Wayne Wang, Last Holiday is a remake of a 1950 British comedy, which starred Alec Guinness as a salesman with a few weeks to live. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

CRESTVIEW � William Gibson's "The Miracle Worker" is one of theatre's most challenging plays.
CRESTVIEW � William Gibson's "The Miracle Worker" is one of theatre's most challenging plays.
View From the Stage feels up to the challenge and will cast the drama next weekend.
The story of tutor Annie Sullivan's struggle to break through to a deaf, mute, spoiled and stubborn Helen Keller won four Tony Awards when released in 1959. It ran more than 700 performances.
Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke reprised their stage roles as Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller in the 1962 film adaptation, which won three Academy Awards.
When done well, "The Miracle Worker" is a tour de force that leaves audiences emotionally moved and cast members physically and emotionally drained.
"Certain parts are intense and physically demanding," View From the Stage Executive Director Berit Faust said.
The story is a departure from the light comedies the community theatre troupe staged for its first two productions, and last month's tune-filled "A Christmas Carol."
Its production ups the ante for substantive, thought-provoking theatre in Crestview.
Faust said the troupe will cast three adult male roles, seven adult female roles and eight youth roles, ages 7-15. Performances are tentatively set for April 11-13.
WHAT:Auditions for "The Miracle Worker"
WHEN: 3-6 p.m. Feb. 1; 4-6 p.m. Feb. 2. Call-backs at 6 p.m. Feb. 4 if necessary
WHERE: Journey Java Connection, 269 N. Main St., Crestview
DETAILS: Roles required include three adult males, seven adult females and eight children ages 7-15. Some parts are physically demanding. Come prepared to read; provide a recent head shot and r�sum�of experience.

Several Lafourche Parish student council students got a promotion for a day Monday when they were sworn in as city and parish government officials.
Several Lafourche Parish student council students got a promotion for a day Monday when they were sworn in as city and parish government officials.
Forty-three students paired up with the same number of public officials and were sworn in at Thibodaux City Court for the parish's annual Student Government Day.
The student councils of Central Lafourche, E.D. White Catholic, Thibodaux and South Lafourche high schools participated.
"I just like to see how a city works," said Taylor Boudreaux, 17, who shadowed city Public Works Director Miguel Maggio. "It's not something everyone gets to see."
Boudreaux chatted with Josie Graham, 16, after the mayor's staff meeting Monday morning, during which department heads give reports. Graham was assigned to shadow Mayor Tommy Eschete. Both girls are on Thibodaux High School's Student Council and said they signed up to participate because they're interested in seeing the real-world counterpart of their organization. Graham is the secretary, and Boudreaux is the historian.
"I wanted to see how close the City council members work together and see if it's similar to how we work together," Graham said.
Students from Thibodaux High and E.D. White pair up with city officials, and Central and South Lafourche students pair up with parish officials.
Haley Mayon, who's a Thibodaux High senior and has been involved in Student Council for four years, was paired with Police Chief Scott Silverii this year. Last year, she followed Councilman Chad Mire around, she said.
"I'm always interested in government," said Mayon, who is the Student Council art board president.
The students stayed with these officials until about 3:30 p.m. During lunch, they attended a Thibodaux Rotary Club meeting and heard Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne speak.
Staff Writer Katie Urbaszewski can be reached at 448-7617 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A former undercover officer at the centre of controversy over police moles has called for a "truly independent" public inquiry into the controversial secret unit he worked for.
Peter Francis alleged last year that he was part of an operation to "smear" relatives of black teenager Stephen Lawrence shortly after he was murdered in a racist attack in April 1993.
Tonight he gave a statement in response to a report earlier this week that revealed that Scotland Yard's shadowy Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) kept records of personal information linked to bereaved families fighting for justice.
Mr Francis called for a "truly independent" inquiry to be launched.
He said: "The conclusions reached by Mick Creedon (chief constable who led the investigation into the SDS) in his Third Report of Operation Herne confirm yet again why an independent, public inquiry into the SDS is required.
"The true facts and tactics about the Metropolitan Police's undercover policing operations will only be revealed through a truly independent, public inquiry which requires those involved to provide evidence under oath.
"It is crucial the Home Secretary now publishes her draft, proposed terms of reference for the inquiry she has announced so victims of the SDS and the public in general can comment on her proposed remit.
"In the meantime, the police must provide urgent, full and unhindered access to all the SDS and Special Branch reports they hold, or held, on those involved in campaigning groups from 1968 onwards.
"People must be told what information was collected about them and the organisations in which they worked and why; they must also be told how this information was used and with whom it was shared.
"I can see no reason why this information cannot be provided to all those affected by the SDS's work and can be done so without further delay."
Mr Francis worked for the SDS in the 1980s and 1990s, using the name Pete Black.
He added: "The British public must be given all the relevant facts so they can decide whether the undercover spying undertaken by the Metropolitan Police was appropriate."
Operation Herne's latest report revealed that references to 17 campaigns dating between 1970 and 2005 had been discovered.
But it stressed that its investigators had seen no evidence "that suggests that SDS Officers were deployed to specifically infiltrate these families or the associated sensitive campaigns, or gather information on them".
Last year Mr Creedon told MPs the probe found no evidence to back claims that undercover officers sought information to smear the family of Mr Lawrence.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Inside a 260,000-square-foot warehouse just over the Grapevine off Interstate 5, an archivist from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences clambered up a ladder to inspect a stack of dusty 35-millimeter film cans.
"What are some of the titles we're looking for?" he shouted over the din of beeping forklifts and clacking metal.
"'The Wacky Playboy,' 'Two Bits,' 'Twenty Bucks,' 'Scalper,'" replied a colleague, who was scanning a list on a yellow notepad.
The man on the ladder pulled several silver-colored canisters off the shelf and plunked them on a pallet that would later be shrink-wrapped and loaded onto a truck for delivery to the academy's...

ASIST 2012 Annual Meeting
Baltimore, MD, October 26-30, 2012
Mining Classifications from Social-Ecological Databases
Scott Jensen, Miao Chen, Xiaozhong Liu, Beth Plale and David Leake
Monday, 6:30pm
Social-ecological research is characteristic of long-tail science, with many region-specific studies of social and ecological phenomena that collectively yield a large volume of highly heterogeneous, small data sets. This variability makes it difficult to determine the applicability of a particular data set for a new research question, hindering the reuse of data that has been often collected through extensive effort. In this paper we present results of automatic classification of social-ecological data into categories defined by a domain model called the SES Framework. We have applied our methods to the classification of a relational database containing over 18 years of research on forest systems. Our preliminary results suggest that decision tree-based classifiers along with textual features perform well at this task. Furthermore, social-ecological data sets are found to exhibit distinct classification features in that the results are promising even for classes that comprise a relatively small portion of the database.

Why Every News Site Should Focus On Being First Class All The Time
from the business-class-my-ass dept
He asked me what I think about pay walls. I told him what I always say: The main currency of news sites is attention and not dollars and that I believe that it is his job, as a publisher, to turn that attention into money to keep the attention machine running. He nodded and made the following, astonishing statement:It's an interesting idea, and Oliver runs with it, and he plays around with the idea of what a "Business Class" version of the news would be, and comes up with a design that does away with ads and presents the information related to the article in a much nicer manner:I can't see pay walls working out either. But we need to do something before we lose all of our current subscribers. Sure. It's a tough business environment, but… But the flight industry is a tough environment too, and they found ways. So tell me: Why do people fly Business Class? In the end, an airplane brings me to the same place regardless of whether I fly Economy or Business Class and the massive price-increase I pay doesn't compare the difference in value.He asked whether I knew of a way to apply this logic to online news. What would a Business Class news site look like?People pay for Business Class because they don't want to be tortured in Economy. They get faster lanes at the terror check. They get an extra glass of champagne. The stewards are more attentive. They get off the plane more quickly. They get the feeling of a higher social status.And he added that he wished that there was a way to lead each reader through the business class to Economy again and again to show him what he misses.
One of the big issues with the "business class" metaphor, however (like the "iTunes for news" analogies that were popular not so long ago), is that news simply isn't like air travel at all, in some pretty important ways. To take just one example, you can only fly one airline at a time, and you can only go to one destination at a time. The rise of RSS readers, and more recently, Twitter and other social-reading tools such as Flipboard, Zite and Tweetmag allows people to read multiple sources at a time, and that is one thing that the IA design approach doesn't really take into account.I actually think Mathew's understating the problem with the "Business Class" for news concept. Thinking of things that way runs into all of the same problems that I think many "Freemium" models run into for online services: specifically, if you're basing your business model on creating a "class" of services that annoys your users quite a bit that they're forced to "upgrade" to the less annoying option, you have to be pretty damn sure that they can't just go and find the less annoying version next door. Or in the next thousand doors.
In the airline world, you have limited choice and limited competition. And, even then, the rise of airlines like JetBlue and Virgin America in the US have really been based around the idea of making coach class not seem quite so awful, and passengers have flocked to both airlines because of it. But that's still a limited market. Open it up to a nearly unlimited market, and you've got a problem if you're focusing on "business classing" the news. When you do that, you are really opening up a massive opportunity for someone else to offer a First Class (not just Business Class) experience to everyone without the paywall... all while you're wasting energy trying to make sure the Coach Class sucks enough to get people to pay to upgrade. Instead of paying to upgrade, they're more likely to jump to the other guy's (free) First Class option, leaving you with a lot of wasted effort on trying to make your Coach Class suck.
The incentives are all wrong.
The opportunity, in the competitive market, is not to focus on offering a class that sucks to get people to sign up for a better class. It's to make the best class all around, and continue to improve it to keep your community as happy and loyal as possible... and then build a business model on top of that.

Lauren & Kevin's Urban Jungle Oasis
Name: Lauren and Kevin
Location: Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois
Size: One bedroom
Years lived in: 3 1/2 years (2 1/2 together); rented
Stepping into Lauren and Kevin's apartment, you would never know that it was blustery outside and that winter had already cast its gray-white pallor across the world. Vibrant colors and a panoply of fanciful objects give the space a warm and inviting feeling, and their home, so full of pattern and life, makes it seem as if winter were a thousand miles away.
While one might call their home eclectic, vintage-inspired, or collected, I think the term that best sums up Lauren and Kevin's style is "unafraid." Salmon walls? A black bedroom? A horse head in the kitchen? These things may have given other decorators pause, but for Lauren and Kevin, the question was, "Why not?" — and the results speak volumes. What they've created is a home that shows precisely who they are and what they love. The walls are peppered with meaningful objects and homages to the movies, books, and art that have shaped them, and for every touch of Lauren, there's an equal dose of Kevin; her love of Godard and animals comes together neatly with his affection for Batman and Shakespeare. While they've had plenty of design inspiration from other sources, their apartment is much more than an amalgamation of other people's ideas.
What with the zebra-print accents, lush, large-scale plants, and variety of fauna, one begins to understand the aptness of the jungle analogy, and upon consideration, it even functions on a deeper level. A jungle is filled with wonders from the grand to the small, inviting continual exploration and discovery. It's the same with Lauren and Kevin's home, where there is a frequent negotiation between large-scale moments and teensy treasures, all of which which constantly invite you to look, engage, and ultimately, get to know them better.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Eclectic.
Inspiration: Museums, antique stores, other people's homes, store/brand aesthetics (everything from Ralph Lauren to Kate Spade).
Favorite Element: The sunlight and tall ceilings.
Biggest Challenge: Our walls are old and paint-saturated, and they have the cracks to show for it. The kitchen cabinetry leaves a lot to be desired, and we could do with a hallway closet.
What Friends Say: "Can't wait to see 'Lauren & Kevin's Urban Jungle Oasis' on Apartment Therapy!"— an email from our friend Jean after we told her we were doing a tour. Now you can't use that title. ☺ (Writer's note: We'll see about that....Thanks, Jean!)
Biggest Embarrassment: I still feel the need to apologize for our apartment and explain away half-finished projects when guests come over. It's a bad habit and a difficult one to break. I'm working on being proud of what we have done rather than focusing solely on those things we've yet to do.
Proudest DIY: I'm a big fan of the painted & reupholstered Chippendale chairs in the living room.
Biggest Indulgence: Our biggest indulgence is probably our collection of small indulgences; we are both big book lovers and are constantly tempted by new titles to add to our shelves.
Best Advice: Neither of us are designers, so our place is the result of a lot of trial and error. Don't be afraid to change direction if something in a room doesn't feel right after living with it for a while. That's what Craigslist is for!
Dream Sources: Estate sales and antique stores — without having to look at price tags — and Chicago shops like Jayson and Brimfield. Also, I would love to get my hands on bedding from Leontine Linens. I'm a sucker for fancy monograms.

Hi, I am wondering what other experienced mamas think of this idea. My DS is now 7 months. I started pumping once daily when he was 4 weeks old and made a goal to always pump 4-6 oz more than he ate on any given day. Usually, while I was at home, he just didn't get any bottles so I would feed on demand and pump once in the morning about 4-6 oz. I've been back to work about 30 hours/week since he was 3 months old. I've always been able to pump plenty for him while I'm gone and have maintained my supply at about 6 oz/day above what he eats. I also continue to pump once per day on the weekends to keep my supply above his demand.
I feel like this mild oversupply has been a godsend for me. It hasn't caused DS any problems, he manages my let-down just fine and his stools have been normal. He's been gaining weight like a champ. I always have plenty of milk for the next day and have been able to get away with just pumping twice per day while at work. I also don't have to worry when my mom (who watches DS while I'm away) wastes a couple of ounces of milk because it can't be reheated more than once, and DS doesn't take the whole bottle, or whatever.
I see so many working mamas on this forum who are constantly worried about their supply and being able to pump enough for the next day. Who are having to pump after their babies go to bed, or even get up in the middle of the night in order to pump enough for the next day. I am SO GRATEFUL to have avoided this issue so far. I am aware that supply often drops around 9 months or so but even if my supply does drop at that point, I think I should still have enough for him given that I'm making an extra 6 oz/day right now.
So what do you think? Would this be a workable strategy for more moms, maybe even something to suggest to working moms? To pump once per day starting when baby is about a month old and purposefully maintain a slight oversupply to guard against future supply issues when they go back to work? It's worked out great for me, and I'm having a hard time seeing a downside (other than having to pump once on days off, or if the baby had trouble handling the oversupply). What do you think? Good idea or not?

[1] 'animals' is often used, albeit erroneously, as an umbrella term for non-humans. Aside from that though, if the phrase in question functions as an appositive, we'd expect (a) a coma after 'wise reptiles', and b) the writer to continue on with the appositive meaning. That is, the writer later states, "superstitions about birds and animals" (i.e., birds are separate from animals). With regards to the author of the textbook, given that we do not have the context you have, it wouldn't be very professional of us to comment on whether the author is correct or incorrect. All we can do is offer responses based on the distributional facts presented to us.Originally Posted by Taka
[2] Note the modifier 'their'. It's a pronoun. Pronouns modify nouns (i.e., their wisdom, cunning or powers). :wink:

Ryan.stillions needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 116 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Treyis Technology LLC
We are a new mobile application development company based right in 'the heartland' of the Midwest United States. We develop smartphone and tablet applications for individuals and businesses in many vertical industries including agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing, farming, manufacturing, outdoors, equine, renewable energy, and more. This is a new startup company with no corporate branding yet and we're currently looking to start with a company logo. We'll be responsive and help answer additional questions, and provide more that just star feedback. We will also leave PUBLIC feedback for the benefit of all designers entered or considering entry, so if you cant hang with that, please don't enter.
Any individual drawn towards innovative utility and lifestyle applications to simplify their hard working non-urban lifestyle. This would include people in industries or activities including but not limited to, crop and livestock production, owners and operators of small farm / hobby farms, machinery and implement owners, operators, and manufacturers, outdoorsmen and women who enjoy hunting, fishing, and other outdoor sports. Horse owners, boarders, and veterinarians. The list goes on, but this should give you an idea.
The logo should reflect the quality and strong work ethic of the midwest culture, yet strike a balance with "work hard - play hard" professionals. Obviously we're not after bright contrasting or flashy hip-hop designs, but rather a contemporary theme that expresses quality, strength, integrity, trust, and purity without being too obviously bold, rigid, or concrete.
We are looking for a typeface logo and an icon to accompany it. "Treyis Technology LLC" (could be abbreviated to "Treyis") should be a typeface design, contemporary and simple. Different variations are encouraged, e.g. "Treyis" could be the primary focus of the logo with "Technology LLC" less dominant.
The icon is where we need your creativity in proposing a lot of different options, the more the better. We would like to avoid using animals, cartoons, or any icon that could be perceived as 'stereotypical' of the historical midwest or rural lifestyles ( e.g. no pitch forks or red barns).
There is no limitation on colors. Three dimensional designs, shadows, and gradients are encouraged.
Ideally, we'd like the icon in the logo to be easily remembered and recognized by our customer base, and not obviously similar to anything else out there. Therefore, we'd encourage you to please not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
This logo will be used on our websites, stationary, letterhead, business cards, all of which will follow a very clean, and minimalistic theme so the company logo itself stands out.
Minimum file types required include:
Print File format - .eps
Web file format - .jpg
Thank you in advance, we're really looking forward to seeing your entries!

Can any one who reads this and has access to Hawk blogger let him know that I can no longer get his site working properly since he switched to a new look and feel.
All my machines use IExplore version 9. All I get is a large dark grey box at the top and some small boxes down the left side that are his posts but the latest ones are hidden under the drak grey box that take up the whole top.
Is anyone else having any problems with Hawk Blogger since his new site went live?

Master Piece Arms - for new MACS
Master Piece Arms is the new defacto standard for new production MAC weapons. Great quality and great prices. Check their stuff out.
This has got to be the best thing that has ever happened to the MAC series of weapons. Brand new side cocking with an FN-FAL style charging knob that does not cycle with the bolt. Man - you can get the classic hollywood movie style grip on your MAC. Makes rapid bump firing easy and safe since you can get your hand wrapped up behind the cock knob and around the receiver. The other major benefit is you can now get it with a scope mount since theres no cock knob on top. Master Piece Arms is making the MACS now - brand new - post ban in pistol and carbine configurations. Affordable as hell - you can buy their M11/9 (MPA30) $275, and M10 45acp (MPA10) $375. Their making these side cocking upper receivers to retro on to all the MACS including subguns, in post and pre-ban configuration -thread or no thread. You have to get this stuff from their distributors namely www.RPBUSA.COM and or Jeffs Shooters Supply. The upper receiver is a drop in conversion with your bolt - a 5 minute deal. Costs about $135. Available with or without scope rail. This is a great cheap way to put a new face on your MAC!!! Makes shooting your MAC a dream!!!

NORTH POLE – The FAA has announced that Santa One, the reindeer-powered sleigh Santa Claus uses to deliver presents to good children around the world, has been cleared for its worldwide Christmas Eve flight. Santa One will be faster, quieter and more efficient this year with the help of NextGen technologies, FAA officials said.
"As a grandfather of nine, I know how excited children are when they wake up on Christmas morning and see presents underneath the tree," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "One of the biggest benefits from NextGen is that it helps Santa deliver those presents with improved safety, accuracy and reliability to children who are good for goodness' sake."
Just like other pilots, one of Santa's greatest logistical challenges is navigating the congested airspace above major cities. The FAA is hard at work simplifying air routes around these busy areas through an effort known as the Metroplex initiative, officials noted. This initiative is based on what the FAA calls Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), a key component of NextGen. PBN will enable Santa to fly Santa One using radar or satellite coverage, or by utilizing Santa One's on-board flight management system. PBN will allow Santa to fly shorter, more direct routes, reducing flight time and carrot consumption by Rudolph and the other reindeer.
"Our air traffic controllers, inspectors and technicians have been working overtime with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves to make sure his flight plan is in order and Santa One is working properly," said Acting FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "We want to make sure Santa has a safe flight around the world, and that the children receive their presents."
A special team of Santa's elves has already outfitted the Santa One sleigh with the sophisticated equipment to take advantage of these new routes while also enabling air traffic controllers — and even Mrs. Claus — to know where he is at all times. This is good news for all children, since the improved efficiency will give Santa more time to deliver presents, FAA officials said.
This year, Santa will fly from a cruising altitude of 50,000 feet down to rooftops using a satellite-based procedure called an Optimized Profile Descent. In the past, Santa had to rely on ground-based procedures to descend slowly from one altitude to the next, much like going down a staircase. The Optimized Profile Descent allows Santa to slide through the air as if riding down the banister, descending smoothly and gracefully without having to throttle back on Rudolph and the other reindeer.
The FAA's Metroplex initiative will improve the flow of air traffic into and out of large metropolitan areas throughout the country. A metroplex is a region with several airports serving major metropolitan areas where heavy airport activity and environmental constraints combine to hinder the efficient movement of air traffic. Metroplex initiatives are underway or planned in 21 metropolitan areas, including Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Central and South Florida, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Northern California, Southern California and Washington, D.C.
The NextGen program uses cutting-edge technology to create a modern, satellite-based air traffic control system, transforming the national airspace to make it even safer and more efficient for the traveling public, airports and operators, resulting in benefits to the U.S. economy. NextGen initiatives underway in major regions across the country are helping to deliver more on-time flights, reduce fuel burn and ensure that the U.S. has the safest aviation system in the world.
Children and families interested in learning more about how NextGen is helping Santa deliver toys with greater precision and reliability may visit the Santa One Story at FAA.gov/santa. The website features fun and interactive information on the different ways Santa is benefitting from NextGen, educational puzzles, Santa's approved flight plan and a link to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) website, where NORAD tracks Santa's Christmas Eve voyage.

Brandon: Aggressively seeking "Big Games" in future football scheduling
In a brief article this afternoon at the Free Press, Dave Brandon shared that he is aggressively seeking to schedule big football games in the future.
Dave Brandon said today that he soon will announce games, possibly out to 2018. He implied that they'll be against high-level opponents.
"You'll see some matchups, particularly in the nonconference schedule, that will be a notch above some of the things we've done in the past.
We are taking the approach that strength of schedule is going to be important (to the new playoff selection committee). Not just for fans because they love these great matchups, it helps sell tickets and keeps interest high. Not just because the networks love it, because they get more interest around the games or the broadcasting. We really want to put our program in a position where we can be rated against the best programs in the country, so we can compete at that level."
LINK: http://www.freep.com/article/20120830/SPORTS06/120830058/michigan-football-dave-brandon?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Michigan%20Wolverines
Apparently, they were waiting until things shook out with the relationship with the Pac-10 (and whether or not we would be playing a game vs. the Pac-10 on an annual basis.) They also waited until things were settled as to whether the Big 10 would play 8 or 9 conference games annually.
I think the excitment over the Alabama game underscores the interest fans have in playing legitimate opponents (rather than "snacky cakes.") It will be interesting to see if Brandon is willing to make less financially on an annual basis in exchange for the benefit of scheduling competitive home and home games versus marquee opponents. I personally would love to see home and home games with top 10 teams across the country. This would also allow UofM alumni from California to Florida the opportunity to see the Wolverines in the neck of the woods where they live.

Number 5 is Alive :-)
Postby sandman » Sun Feb 22, 2009 2:45 pm
A few weeks ago while cycling home, the headwind managed to pick up to 40km/hr, while thats not too bad, the heat was almost unbearable. It would have been around 50c, like a blow torch to the legs, something I've never experienced. I started to feel sick, dehydrated even though I was constantly on the bottle, it really messed with my will to ride, it was super tough. The next day I hopped onto the bus instead and then the next day and the next, no riding. The wind generally picked up in the afternoon with an increase in temp and for once I had really lost the desire to ride. The Saturday rides were good but to stick with the fast guys I needed to get that mid week ride in to stay in touch. So Saturdays I started to sleep in and the story just goes on......pfft
Anyway one of the work guys had a good dig at me last week and referred to the new Alice term of HTFU... remember that folks, I introduced HTFU to Alice so we started to ride again. The wind has died down a little in the afternoons and the heat has backed off a touch. Last week we rode in 3 days, 1st day was getting my butt used to the saddle and by Friday I'd managed to average 35km/hr to work, not bad for now.
This morning a few of us got onto our MTBs for a "fang" through the Alice countryside. We checked out some really famous landmarks like "the Dunny, the Sink and the Washingmachine" How some people dragged them out there I have no idea. Anyway, the riding was simply stunning, some quite technical bits where Chris managed to get a lead on me but when we hit the climbs, I introduced him to the Hurtbox He's got this awesome Orbea with 29" wheels, on the fast runs the thing just flys.... a few hours in the bush this morning was just what we both needed, no snakes but we did manage to get cut off by one rather large roo that tried to get on the front of our paceline Back into Alice we went and sat in the Todd Mall with a large coffee, lots of tourists and good to see those Sweedish Backpackers again
Add to that a few calls to BMXBandito this week telling me to stop being a darn girl and life is looking a lot better again. I'm still missing the Thursday HTFU rides with him, getting my arse smacked in A Grade at the Regatta, Footpath racing and the ever growing Lifecycles Sat ride...
Life does look better when your riding a bike
Ciao for now....Sandman on Todd

I cant believe I'm not posting every day and checking out whats going on in the cycling world but thats what happens when your will is seriously sapped by the never ending heat
Anyway HTFU....Had a quick "MSN" with Don today and I'm blown away by Spizza's awesome work on the FPR logo. its SOOOOO awesome I've set it as my desktop and printed out a few of them and stuck on my wall at work
Rode into work over the last few days, we thought summer had finnished but the heatwave has kicked back in....The temps have been good in the moring, 6:00am its been around 22-23c which is really nice, not much of a breeze so its awesome to just knuckle down and suffer
Today I got in a little later, left "Alice" at 11:00am and at 10km out from work the temp really kicked in. There were some roadworks done over the last few days on our road and its like flypaper, sticky and slow, cant be happy Temp was over 37 and the wind was pretty strong and it wasnt a tailwind
Left work a little late this arvo, no headwind on Hatt road so able to at least get it up to 40 and just enjoy. On one of the rises I passed a MTB guy, good luck to him, he had a long way to go and it was stinking hot. Got down to the airport turnoff and the headwind kicked in. Not overly fast into the wind but a good solid ride, no cramps, good leg burn, felt good when I got home.
Cycling on Eurosports and poking around the forums has been good, HTFU'ing feels pretty darn good again. Missing the boyz n girlz at FPR, trying to maintain the rage "in the Alice"...

Sweet ride in this morning, legs a little sore from the endless time trialling. Finding that the muscles just above the kneecap on both legs getting sore, all other muscles ok so I've been telling them to toughen up !! Cardio seems good on the constant rides, would be interesting to have a power meter to see what the output is as there is just no bludging or drafting .....well you could draft a road train out here but the few that have gone past me, especially tanami transport that take cattle, you'd choke in the first 30 seconds from the stench.
The Ayups expired ont he way out today but the sun was just comming up, must say I'm getting some good life out of those batteries, I can really recommend them. Replaced the rear light on the bike and put some new "coloured" GP400s on the Scott, she's looking real sweet. Must say after getting rid of the cheap gear that the bike came with and putting a mixture of 105/Ultegra/Dura ace (and of course Mavic Wheels), the bike just goes and goes.
Oh and as for the Garmin 305 replacement, its working an absolute treat, I'm hoping they worked out the power off issue.
Temp this morning at 6:00am was 23c though there were certainly a few warmer pockets of air....BOM showing 33c outside at 11:54am in the shade....going to be another hot ride home today...
A bit of HTFUing goes a long way

So this morning, out the door at 5:55am with a charged up Garmin and Ayups, lights especially as I can actually see the road Shot down through the
"Gap" to catch the other HP guy just down near Ilparpa Rd. Nice leisurely ride in today, good to turn the legs after a slack weekend. Whole ride was uneventful, when I left it was about 19c however once we got down to Hatt road, it was already 24c and thats at 6:30am
Oh, fixed a flat on Saturday on the new tube, no idea how I can get a puncture 1/4 the way round the tube from the bottom center especially on a new tyre.
Had a dream last night, I was climbing into Mt Victoria and it was raining cats n dogs.....awesuM . The Alice weather is consistant but sometimes you just need variety ! What I'd give for a bloody good hill and some rain...

Well winter is on its way, its getting a little darker each morning, its no longer 30+ in the mornings thank CHRIST for that Good ride home this arvo, wind wasnt too strong, bit of HTFU'ing into the headwind today, dragging 2 guys behind me. Guys were puffing like old girlies so didnt go too hard on Hatt road, down the Stuart Highway wasnt too bad, they jsut pulled in behind, sitting on 36 was quite nice but last guy was struggling.. Once we cornered onto the home stretch from the airport we were sitting on 38 but the lads were hurting so I backed off a little...felt really good, leg burn was nice.
We made it through the Tom Brown roundabout and decided to follow the 2 guys down Gap road, well a few slow cars went past so stuff it, into the sprint and onto the back of the cars saw the other 2 guys disappear... guy decided me drafting was not on so he sped up, we sat on 60 for a bit but I backed off as there are a few potholes. Jumped onto another car which was cool.
So the highlight was the effing nutbag woman that decided to race past me into a left hand turn and push me into the gutter. A quick "bang bang" into the side of the car with a closed fist got their attention, damn idiot driver. I hope she will give future riders a wide berth though I've found in general drivers in Alice are clueless how to co-exist with riders. It happens at work jsut outside the front gate, we have a sharp bunch of turns to slow cars down and unless you pull smack into the middle of the road they will try and go past...one day there is going to be a WW SMACKDOWN ,,
So all good for now... TOmorrows ride will be later morning which puts me into the heat of the day, should be good !

Don't leave your fat bike behind! Saris' Freedom Fat Tire Wheel Holders carry up to 5-inch-wide bicycle tires. Extra-long straps secure your bike to any Saris Freedom rack (sold separately).

Best Uses
Easy to install & works great. Saris should add option for reflective strips for fat tire wheel holders if customer wishes to place them on the rear of the rack.
Best Uses
To transport different types of bikes around Minnesota.
Best Uses
I wish you could get the Saris freedom bike rack customized for the fat bike
Well, like someone said it stinks to have to spend another $50 or $100 to transport your bike if you have 1 or 2 fat bikes. That aside I loved the rack and these serve their purpose great!.... Until you try and load 2 bikes :( the system itself needs to get redesigned, they should push out the arms and the bases from the center beam, if I load 2 bikes they hit each other, you can't actually out the arm all the way up and inward on the wheels like they show in their videos because they begin to hit the side of a Bluto up front and the rotor in the back. I think it's a solid construction but not well designed for fat bikes. I cannot fit 2 fat bikes or even 1 fat bike and one normal MTB without things hitting and scratching the bikes.
Best Uses
I use these fat bike adapters as replacement trays for my Saris Freedom Superclamp. They work great with all my bikes and their different tire sizes.
The rack and fat bike wheel adapters work great but you should be able to select them as an option at purchase so you don't need to spend another $100 and have the regular holders sitting around gathering dust.
Bought the rack (Freedom Super-Clamp) about a month ago with the fat bike trays. Took about 10 minutes to install the trays on the rack. After installing they work as advertised with any type of bike (road bike 700x23 all the way up to a 4" fat bike tire.)
A great addition to my 4 Bike Freedom Super Clamp rack! Easy to install and rock solid holding my Specialized Fatboy with 4.6" tires.
Holes on my fat tire bikes with no problemwork well and are easy to use
Work as they should are are easy to intall since each holder is marked either "A" or "B" indicating which side of the rack each should be installed. Going forward, I don't see why these should not be the standard holder for the Freedom SuperClamp hitch racks since it makes it versitale enough to hold road bikes and fat bikes alike.

Geometry is mundane knowledge that can be easily rediscovered and relearned. BTW, most mathematicians would assert that mathematical advancement can only occur in the context of a mathematical culture.DmitriNet wrote: I would think that bauddha-dharma, being reflective of the fundamental nature of human mind, does not depend on any group of people (like a lineage) any more than the geometry depends on continuous lineages of mathematicians.
Buddhadharma is only discovered extremely rarely (1000 Buddhas in this fortunate eon separated by vast time) and most people can't comprehend it. Buddhadharma itself can only be taught originally from an enlightened being and that transmission must be preserved or lost. With the loss of that transmission, that line of lineage is lost. In this way Buddhadharma gradually disappears from the world.
Just scriptural knowledge is not sufficient. Many people cannot understand the differences between the Four Noble Truths and truth taught in other systems.

... or actually two dilemmas:
1. Christmas tree or not?
They started showing up about a week ago. Christmas trees - in all sizes. And the girls have been asking when we'll be getting ours. I told them it's too early still and that we should wait for at least another week. But should we really buy one, I wonder. Every year I have mixed feelings about getting a Christmas tree. I find it somewhat cruel, killing a tree just so we could decorate it and enjoy it for a mere two or three weeks at most, after which it gets dumped. I know they're just grown for that, just like I know they get recycled to some extent, but still... However, I also find it cruel towards my girls not to have one. They so much enjoy having a tree in the house, and so do I actually. We had a fake one before, but that's not any better for the environment, if not worse. I've seen alternative trees, wooden frames, or trees made out of twigs. But no way you can hang balls and ornaments from those - and we have plenty. So, what should we do? Most likely we'll get one, but I'll feel sad for that poor tree again...
2. Flu vaccine or not?
The French government started a mass vaccination campaign to fight off the H1N1 flu pandemic. And again we have no clue as to what would be the best, getting the shot or not. Everyone is talking about it, at school, at the gym, in the elevator, at the store, on the metro... And no one seems to know the answer. I think we should wait another week and see... Oh, I'm so good at procrastinating...
And that's exactly what I did with the advent calendar too.
I didn't want to get a store bought one. I had plenty of ideas for making one. But, as I said, I'm a bad planner and so on Tuesday night we still didn't have any and so we whipped this one together. We joined efforts: I cut the paper, the girls stamped every sheet, I folded them and glued them to pockets of different sizes and shapes, they distributed the chocolate coins equally (important!), put them in the pockets. I finally stapled them randomly to some twine, hung both calendars up near the dinner table and done... Each girl now has a nice and cute, very personal advent calendar.
And after dinner the girls both climb onto their chair to find the corresponding date...
Note: I can't believe how crazy things have gone in the post below... Thanks, everyone for participating and for your nice comments! If you'd like to make a bunny of your own, I found the pattern in a Debbie Bliss book, I believe it was (Toy Knits: more than 30 irresistible and easy-to-knit patterns). I no longer have the book, unfortunately. I got rid of it at our moving sale, which I now regret...

Concerning the x-mas tree..why don't you get a fake one ???Doesn't smells as good...but no needles everywhere and u can use it for years to come (if u invest in a good quality one they looks as good as real one ...)
It was a huge dilema for me too concerning the vaccine but finally I'm going to have it done for my boy...The pedietrician saw kids in hospital with completelly ruined lungs and was horrified ...and that scarred me too...

beautiful calendar, that was a brillian idea! about the tree ... we don't have to much festive here and don't put Christmas tree or some stuff (only a small wreath that I made a couple of years ago) ... but I think putting the tree is something that excites a lot of children ... but as you say it is cruel ...
Here also began with the vaccines and many people are running to be applied ... I definitely will not do, during those months I was very suspicious at this point, here was crazy and we had weeks in which all the people you saw on the street wearing masks and you can see the fear in they're eyes... I work in a public building and still am not convinced vaccinations ...

first, here's a link to another debbie bliss knitter, and she has links to several books, too.
that little bag is so very cute, as well as your advent calendar. if we had a different world economy, you would be the next "it" designer!
the tree...just get one. i'm allergic to pine trees (took me several years to figure that out, and a skin test proved it), and now i use a wire one. flowers are grown to be harvested and displayed, so cutting a tree is okay.
h1n1...that is a dilemma. i think i have rheum. arthritis as a result of a flu strain i contracted as a child. i ended up with strep throat, pneumonia and a kidney infection. i was eleven...
my sister, an ER RN, said she has never seen so many healthy young people (under 35) so sick with opportunistic infections (post-h1n1). the ER where she works set up a temporary isolation ward because they had so many cases. her own daughter(21) contracted it. the flu lasted a week, the daughter returned to work, but ended up back in bed with two separate respiratory infections: first sinusitis, and then pneumonia.
tough choice.

Hi -- I'm not Christian, but I wanted to offer this suggestion: Why not get a live tree in a pot, and then you can plant it afterwards. If you have any land to plant it, then you will be able to watch it grow for years, or you could offer it to someone else who might want it.
Otherwise, if you get tree, maybe you could have it chopped up & use the mulch for your garden. That way you can see the tree was put to good use.

- katt said...
I second the posted recommending a potted tree. Who says it must be a pine? Any evergreen will do and the space in which it gets planted can only be improved by the addition of a much loved tree.
I too am conflicted about the H1N1 vaccine. We have been told that it is a quickly mutating virus and that having H1N1 does not prevent you from getting it again in the future (unlike many childhood diseases, like chicken pox). If this is true, then I question the effectiveness of the vaccine. I am also confused that when first introduced to the public here in the US, it was supposed to be a series of three shots over a few weeks. Now it is a single dose? I find it all quite confusing!

eerst en vooral, koop je een goede namaak kerstboom, er bestaan tegenwoordig zéér mooie!geen gesleur om er één te halen en nadien kwijt te raken! om dan maar te zwijgen over de naalden die je zelfs met pasen nog terug vindt, bij manier van spreken!
wat de vaccinatie betreft, wel mijn dokter heeft me eerst die gegeven toen ik ging, omdat die de gevaarlijkste is, volgens hem! twee weken later heb ik dan de gewone gekregen! heb niets van nevenverschijnsel gehad, juist een beetje een stijve arm, 't gevoel van een dikke ecchymose!
je ideetje van "adventkalender" vind ik een goed gevonden alternatief!

There are things we grow and use just temporarily and I'm ok with this being one of them. But I hear you. It doesn't seem cruel exactly to me, but sometimes it feels wasteful. Oh, I'm just too sentimental about the tree to not.
Also, it helps that here, we buy our tree from the same farmers who come down from Maine every year. I feel I'm supporting a family business. I'm guessing in Paris, a tree to plant or cut up and mulch for your garden isn't an option, but here at least the city recycles them.
Finally, is this silly? Sometimes I think about the stories of Native American's taking a moment of reverent respect after killing an animal for food. All of survival involves sacrifice. While a Christmas tree hasn't been taken to feed my family (a necessity), I recognize that this tree has been cut for my pleasure. I try to have a reverence for it in my home, a gratitude for its beauty and the natural world, a recognition of what it symbolizes for me. I just adore it and am grateful for it while it is up. How blessed I am to have a bit of this beauty in my home!!!

I used to feel exactly the same about real Christmas trees until we had a news segment air that focused on an environmentalist talking about how good it is to buy real trees. The idea was that there are many acres of land dedicated to growing Christmas trees and if people stopped buying real trees, this land would probably be developed into condos, etc, so basically, you are making a sound environmental choice in buying a real tree. That said, she was specific in mentioning that the tree should not go to the dump but should be chipped, etc.

My mom likes to get potted trees and each year and they she plants them in her yard. And my sister one year just got a small rosemary tree and then kept it in the house all year for fresh rosemary! What's better than that? I love rosemary!

I love a real tree, so I'm all for that....but then, I have friends who own a Christmas tree farm! We didn't get the flu shot, and don't plan to. I'm a strong believer in eating healthy and washing our hands alot....I'm uneasy about the possible bad effects of so many immunizations and drugs on our bodies. Then again, I have a very healthy, active family; I might think differently if we had some chronic illnesses.

My mum used to do what she called a Charlie Brown Christmas tree when we kids had left home and couldn't protest about it. It was just a dead branch from something like an apple tree, so it was sturdy enough to hang ornaments from without fear. I suppose it might be hard to come by such a thing in the middle of Paris though!
New Scientist ran an article a few weeks ago on swine flu myths, might be worth checking it out. http://www.newscientist.com/special/swine-flu-myths-that-could-endanger-your-life Vaccination is such a fraught subject though, it's definitely an area where you have to make your own mind up as to what suits you! The vaccine wasn't available when we went through 'flu season here in NZ so it wasn't an option for us. I'm also not sure what I would have done as I don't get the regular 'flu shots either. It only hits a small percentage hard enough to be dangerous, but if you don't have other medical factors it's impossible to know if you'll be one or not.

My mom bought a little pine tree in pot when we were young. She kept repotting it for the holidays until it was over five feet tall and too heavy to haul in from the garden. Then, she bought a new little pine tree in a pot. In my home, we buy fresh trees. A lady who lives in a nearby town has llamas who like eating Christmas trees, so our tree can become a llama treat! Bes wishes. Whatever you choose to do, it will be magical, Pascale!

If you read the ingredients list of the H1N1 vaccine, I dont believe you would want to put it in your body. Some countries are nto allowing their soldiers to get it for fear of major contamination (Germany & others).

i used to feel that way about the tree in rockefeller center, until i learned that they use the wood to build homes for habit for humanity. maybe there's a place to recycle a fresh tree you might buy for christmas?
flu shot
we got the regular flu shot, but haven't been able to get the swine flu version. we're not trying that hard to find it though. our doctor said it was ok, he got one from his doctor friend - nice, but i'm a bit wary.
enjoy your weekend!

"Theme development is a tedious and difficult task, and for the GTK devs to be so careless in breaking their API at every turn disrespects the many hours people put into making themes for it. [...] I was given to believe that this breakage stems from a Microsoft-like climate of preventing users from customizing their systems, and deliberately breaking the work of others so that your 'brand' is the best. Anytime I hear the word 'brand' being used in Linux, I know something valuable is being poisoned." I find the tone of this one a bit too harsh and overly negative at times, but his point still stands.

Easy solution to this: Some developers from XFCE and/or LXDE contribute some man power to maintaining GTK?
No because I think everyone outside of the Gnome/GTK projects now knows not to deal with Gnome/GTK development. Anyone who has tried in the past has been met with a campaign of misdirection and misinformation as well as being marginalised via Gnome/GTK devs going 'radio silent'.
You simply cannot work with them.

'It will be bittersweet': Past St. Paddy's parade organizers on sidelines in New London
New London - Although they had hoped to organize a parade somewhere in the region in honor of St. Patrick's Day, members of New London Irish Parade Inc. have sipped their last Guinness together.
On Tuesday, the nonprofit that organized and ran the New London Irish Parade for the past three years announced it was dissolving its 501(c)(3) corporation.
But the city will still have a parade on Sunday. The St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee, which organized late last year after the original group sparred with city administration over parades fees and announced it was taking its parade out of town, is hosting a parade at 1 p.m. Sunday. It will feature 45 groups marching a three-quarter-mile route through downtown on Bank, State and Washington streets.
"It will be bittersweet,'' said Marie Friess-McSparran, president of the original parade group, who said she intends to watch Sunday's parade from the sidelines. "I was very proud of the event we put on, very proud of (the) small group of volunteers who were able to pull off our event. We will miss doing it, but it will be a lot of work we won't have to do. ... It will be nice to be just a spectator."
The group was forced to give up its nonprofit status because it was not having a parade this year, and it appeared it would be unlikely it would have a parade next year, she said. A requirement of its nonprofit status was to have an annual parade.
Friess-McSparran, who is also a city councilor, said the group talked with other municipalities about having a parade on Saturday but felt it was too close to New London's parade on Sunday.
"We thought it would be taking away from the excitement in New London,'' she said.
The group did not raise any money this year, and funds left over from the previous year have been donated to various Irish groups, including an Irish step-dancing school and a group that races Irish boats called currachs, Friess-McSparran said. She would not release the amount of money the group dispersed, saying not all of those who will be receiving donations have been notified.
Last year, Friess-McSparran's group and the city could not reach an agreement on the amount of money the city would charge the committee for police and public works services. Under an executive order issued by the mayor earlier in the year, the city started charging for services and required payment in advance.
The two sides were stalled over whether the committee would pay $7,500 for a shorter route than the one used in 2012, or about $4,000 more for a longer route. The committee wanted to keep to the longer route but pay the lower amount.
Sunday's parade is the sixth annual event for the city. It started as a grass-roots effort by Diarmuid Hanafin, Thor Torgerson and others who first marched up State Street during a 10-minute parade on St. Patrick's Day.
Last year, according to Friess-McSparran, 1,000 people marched and upwards of 15,000 watched.

No. 14 Louisville dismisses F Behanan from team
Louisville dismissed junior forward Chane Behanan from the team on Monday for another violation of university policy.
Cardinals coach Rick Pitino did not specify what rule was broken but expressed disappointment that the 6-foot-6 forward had another setback just a month after being reinstated from a 26-day suspension for violating school policy. The coach said Behanan and the Cardinals (11-2) were informed of the decision on Monday morning.
Behanan was a key member of Louisville's national championship squad and was named to the Final Four all-tournament team. He had averaged 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 67 percent from the field in 11 games this season backing up sophomore power forward Montrezl Harrell.
Pitino said "away from the lines he just did not do the right things. … It sets our basketball team back immensely."
Behanan went scoreless with seven rebounds in Saturday's 73-66 loss to No. 15 Kentucky. The Cincinnati native averaged 9.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game during his Louisville career.
"I want to apologize for letting down my family, teammates, coaches, (athletic director) Tom Jurich, this university and the Louisville fans," Behanan said in a statement released by the school.
Behanan's exit leaves the Cardinals thin in the frontcourt entering Tuesday night's American Athletic Conference opener at Central Florida and jeopardizes their hopes of repeating as champions.
After 6-8 Harrell, 6-5 junior small forward Wayne Blackshear and 6-10 redshirt freshman center Mangok Mathiang, Louisville's bench consists of 6-6 perimeter threat Luke Hancock; 6-9 senior reserve Stephan Van Treese; and 6-8 freshman Akoy Agau. On top of losing Behanan, Pitino also suggested that junior guard Kevin Ware could be redshirted after struggling to come back from last year's devastating leg injury sustained in the Midwest regional final against Duke.
Louisville's frontcourt problems were exposed by Kentucky, which outrebounded the Cardinals 44-36 and outscored them 42-24 in the paint. Behanan missed all three shot attempts and committed three turnovers in the game, and Pitino suggested he might have been distracted "because he knew without us knowing the hammer was about to fall."
Louisville's challenge now is avoiding further collapse without Behanan.
"Our front court, It's obvious from the North Carolina (loss) as well as the Kentucky game is the weak part of our basketball team right now," Pitino said. "Now, we have to jump up on the fly and play a very good Central Florida team on the road that presents a lot of problems up front. They are a team that shoots the 3(-pointer) great.
"Rebounding has been a problem for us from the beginning of the year, anyway. Now you're going to have to try to play a freshman, Agau. … A lot of things we have to do, but we have no time to do it right now. We have to do it on the fly."
Behanan's dismissal ends a tumultuous early season for him. He was coming off the bench after starting 37 of 39 games during the Cardinals' title run last year.
Pitino announced on Oct. 17 that Behanan was suspended indefinitely following the unspecified violation. He was reinstated on Nov. 11 and returned the next day against Hofstra after meeting conditions that surprised his coach.
However, troubles continued to follow Behanan.
After returning from his suspension, Behanan's name came up again after his 2012 Final Four ring turned up for sale on a sports memorabilia late last month. The player's mother said he gave the jewelry to his grandmother and that it had been stolen from her home without her or Behanan's knowledge.
The website quickly removed the ring and returned it to the family. A university and police investigation later cleared Behanan from any involvement in the process.
Since then Behanan had been trying to regain the aggressive form that helped lead Louisville to its third NCAA title. He posted season highs of 13 points and 12 rebounds in his second game back against Cornell on Nov. 15 but now must choose between transferring to another school or turning professional.
Said Pitino, "I'm just worried about his future. I want him to overcome his problems and be successful in life."
