FBI Persecutes "Bill White"
[It is no secret that I have strong reservations about the man using the name "Bill White" in the Movement. However, he appears to be getting genuinely persecuted by the FBI, and I feel it my duty to post the viewpoint of anyone whom the power structure is attempting to silence. - HAC]
I want to update everyone on the FBI situation. Please publish this to all white websites to quash rumors and slanders that are being spread by federal assets in the Movement.
First, the FBI only seized our main server and router, and did not touch any of our backup equipment. Contrary to a rumor that was spread, no arrest warrant was issued against me or any other associate of mine.
I have not yet gotten copies of all the paperwork involved, but the FBI seized our web server and a router (erroneously mistaking the router for a "computer storage device") this morning at approximately 7:30 AM, stating that they believed it contained email communications between myself and others indicating that we published the address of a federal juror with the intent of having violent criminal acts committed against him. The juror is Mark Hoffman ("Hale Juror A"), a homosexual Jew with a black lover who was the jury foreman at Hale's trial.
I gathered information on Hoffman, without any assistance from any other party, from pleadings publicly available on PACER and from information publicly available in the White Pages and other similar sources, including Hoffman's own websites. I published this information without any assistance, and have never, to my recollection, discussed Hoffman with any other person.
This event followed a several day marathon of revelations and actions by the FBI designed to stop us from distributing the "Kill This Nigger?" pamphlet discussing the Obama campaign. Starting in March of this year, FBI agents approached numerous white activists and personal acquaintances of mine, and offered them substantial bribes for information on what I am doing. Justin Boyer and Michael Blevins took those bribes and turned false information over the to feds, leading to various investigations against me.
In July of this year, the FBI, angry that I had fired everyone who agreed to provide information against us, approached several people and offered them money and immunity from prosecution, stating that they knew we were not involved in crimes, but asked if the people approached would join and then commit or encourage others to commit violent crimes, then testify, falsely, that I had ordered them to do that. Every one of the individuals approached, to my knowledge, refused, and every one of them was threatened with serious physical violence by the FBI if they told me of the encounters.
One individual has specifically claimed and said he is willing to testify that an FBI agent offered him $10,000 if he would shoot at the home of black journalist Leonard Pitts and then sell me or any friend or associate of mine the gun, thus framing me for the act. This week, on the basis of information Michael Blevins gave to the FBI about alleged "Mexican bank accounts", I was audited by the IRS, with one specific line item they were investigating being whether I retained an attorney to set up "Mexican bank accounts," the rest being minor discrepancies resulting from the fact that private mortgage holders don't always file 1098s and day laborers don't always give correct social security numbers or report their 1099 income.
I have not, and have never, had a Mexican, or any foreign, bank account, whether in my name or in the name of any entity I have held an interest in.
On Thursday, Tim Bland and Justin Boyer testified against me to a grand jury in Roanoke, Virginia. In particular, Justin Boyer testified that he believed the publication of a person's home address on Overthrow.com was a "coded message" to him to commit a violent crime against that person. Those who remember Justin's involvement with me will remember that I repeatedly and very publicly suspended him for inappropriate activities, insubordination, and eventually expelled him for being unable to restrain himself to legal activities. [White runs a so-called Nazi Party that has no real existence outside the internet. He apparently has not even met the majority of his "unit leaders" and in some cases his "local units" consist of nothing but an e-mail address. And he wonders why looney stuff like this happens. - HAC]
None of this was mentioned to the grand jury. On Friday, I was approached by several federal informants in the movement who asked to come clean if I would agree not to name them or publicly expose them as rats. One told me of how Mark Martin was infiltrated into the Movement after being arrested in a methamphetamine ring that also involved or somehow implicated Jim Ramm. Another confirmed that Martin was the one who brought Ramm into the Movement. Another told me of Hal Turner's checkered relationship with the FBI. Several told me of how they had been approached and told by FBI agents that the FBI knew I wasn't committing crimes, but was looking for someone willing to implicate me. A lot of details were given that I am not willing to share at this point to avoid implicating specific individuals.
That night, Overthrow.com published a brief expose. This morning, the warrant was served. This evening, I retained two attorneys: one a general counsel to deal with a motion to quash the search warrants, and two, a "law enforcement abusive practices specialist" to deal with the civil rights violations by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
All of our backup equipment is intact, and a router is being overnighted to us for arrival Monday morning. I expect the site will be back online Tuesday. I also expect we will receive, this week, a protective order requiring the FBI to copy whatever information they think is relevant to their search warrant and return our equipment to us by no later than the end of the week.
I am aware that the FBI has tried to use this warrant to justify seizing our "Kill This Nigger?" magazines, but, by printing a mini-magazine with the "Hale's Jew-ror" article, they are not able to do so.The server that was seized was and is 100% public content. There is no information on that server that is not visible to the general public by typing in a URL. Because of this, I am not concerned about anything the FBI has taken. If there was anything on the machine that the FBI could arrest me for, I would have already been arrested, because they had it weeks ago.

Tell a Fairy Tale Day is celebrated on February 26 of each year.
A fairy tale is a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy characters, such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, dwarves, giants, mermaids, or gnomes, and usually magic or enchantments. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables.
In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy tale romance" (though not all fairy tales end happily). Colloquially, a "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any farfetched story or tall tale; it's used especially of any story that not only isn't true, but couldn't possibly be true.
In cultures where demons and witches are perceived as real, fairy tales may merge into legends, where the narrative is perceived both by teller and hearers as being grounded in historical truth. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, people, and events; they take place once upon a time rather than in actual times.
Fairy tales are found in oral and in literary form. The history of the fairy tale is particularly difficult to trace because only the literary forms can survive. Still, the evidence of literary works at least indicates that fairy tales have existed for thousands of years, although not perhaps recognized as a genre; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the world. Fairy tales, and works derived from fairy tales, are still written today.
The older fairy tales were intended for an audience of adults, as well as children, but they were associated with children as early as the writings of the précieuses; the Brothers Grimm titled their collection Children's and Household Tales, and the link with children has only grown stronger with time.
Folklorists have classified fairy tales in various ways. The Aarne-Thompson classification system and the morphological analysis of Vladimir Propp are among the most notable. Other folklorists have interpreted the tales' significance, but no school has been definitively established for the meaning of the tales.

Love was in the air as I recently got married with my long time friend. Now, it was time to explore a new world of beautiful surroundings and greenery sprinkled all around. I wanted to visit a place that is not less than heaven. And my husband gave me an excellent gift by planning a trip to Alleppey. It was further beautified by opting for a stay in Vedanta Wake up! A hotel with exclusive beauty reflecting a refreshing essence and enhancing those moments of love with their attractiveness, Vedanta Wake up! was really a place to be. Considered to be the finest hotels in Kerala, it is the perfect place for budget conscious traveler and availing best by paying less.
What made us select this hotel were the majestic backwaters, waiting to engulf us in its natural beauty. In fact, every honeymooner wants privacy, ample sightseeing opportunities, quiet atmosphere and a hospitable staff. Each of these options was present in Vedanta Wake up! that really made our honeymoon so special. Indeed, exclusive hospitality of the hotel's staff was cordial enough to help us in making the most of our trip to Alleppey. A trip was organized by the hotel staff for us to the nearby places like Eddakal Caves, Alappuzha Beach, Krishnapuram Palace and Vembanad Lake which enabled us to explore the best of Alleppey. Each place enabled us to sense the surrounding beauty and feel the eternal bliss enshrined in the sightseeing locations.
The essence of beauty lies in "God's Own Country", which is exquisitely named Kerala. And going by the name is this hotel called Vedanta Wake up! because we woke up every day with a fresh mood to continue our journey of inseparable love for natural beauty. In fact, for our sightseeing trip, hotel staff arranged a cab driver, who could speak very well English and this made it easy for us to converse with him. Another good thing about the hotel was that every day breakfast accompanied a bouquet of flowers to make us feel refreshing. Indeed, we felt like home at Vedanta Wake up! where our stay was filled with new surprises and exquisite explorations. In fact, I would recommend this particular hotels in Alleppey to all my relatives and other honeymooners.
Apart from serving the best sightseeing options, the hotel has excellent cuisine, spic and span environs; along with many other ways of promoting social engagement among guests. The board games and book exchange libraries were the best options that enabled guests to socialize with each other. And yes, the food was ultimate. From lip smacking south Indian delicacies to north Indian dishes and even continental ones, we tasted an array of delicacies every day. To our amazement, we saw a paper dosa in the shape of a big cylindrical shaped cap. Though, it was tasty; but, we never saw such thing before. Alleppey, a land of scintillating beauty, exotic locations, tastiest food and exceptionally friendly people opens gates for everyone to enjoy.

Choosing the right configuration of lighting can make or break a room and the overall feel of a home. Too little or too much can be equally bad, making it hard to focus on the tasks at hand and can change the feel of your home from a soothing oasis to an uncomfortable environment. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to make your home more appealing and pleasant to live in by changing the type of lighting you utilise. In this guide, we will discuss what lighting works best in which rooms and why!
In many homes the kitchen is the nerve centre of nourishment and socialisation. Drop pendant lamps work well to illuminate major work surfaces such as bench tops and islands. There are two kinds of pendant drop lamps: general and directional. Directional lamps are designed to focus light on a specific area, while general lamps help diffuse light throughout a space. These lights can be rigged with dimmer switches allowing you to set the exact level of light you need for any task. We recommend a three-drop lighting system for general illumination.
Recessed lighting such as LED downlights works well for general illumination when specific cooking or cleaning tasks are not required. As with drop pendants, these lights can be set to a dimmer allowing you to set the correct illumination for the kitchen at night, during the day, or while entertaining. Typically a mix of overhead lighting incorporating LED downlights for overhead and drop pendants for task-specific lighting is ideal and will give your home a beautifully modern appearance and feel. The recommended lighting for a kitchen is between 5,000 and 10,000 lumens, and the minimum task lighting should be no less than 450 lumens.
Sitting Room/Study
The family areas of a home are the unofficial focal points of a home, and the lighting used in these areas can help set the mood and overall feel of the home. Lighting has been shown to affect mood, attitude, and even visually change the dimensions of a room or an entire home. Setting up the perfect lighting in these areas depends on a number of factors, including whether there is art on the walls; what kind of natural lighting is available such as windows or skylights; and what the primary use of the room is. A room that serves merely as a life-support system for the big-screen telly will need less in the way of lighting than a sitting room intended for conversation and socialisation.
In these rooms, a mixture of downlights, floor lamps, and table lamps work well. The downlights provide general overhead illumination, while floor lamps add decorative flair and light in the corners. Table lamps in turn are primarily task lighting, such as for curling up with a good book. By altering the various light sources in the room, you can also change the ambience of the room.
You can also employ interior wall lights or track lighting to highlight objets d'art, such as paintings, statuary, and so forth. These types of light both aid in illumination and add dramatic blades of shadow and illumination to an area, heightening the emotional impact of a space and drawing the eye naturally to the room's intended focal point. Many interior designers recommend sending wall lights upward or directly downward, adding a visual "texture" to the space and playing to the natural human tendency to think in terms of verticals and visual layers. The typical lighting for a sitting area should range between 1,500 and 3,000 lumens, while reading lights should cast no less than 400 lumens to avoid eye strain and long-term sight damage.
Sleeping areas should feel cosy and calming. Many bedrooms are actually overlit, with standard lighting in the 3,000-5,000 lumen range. While this is great for reading, it can interfere with sleeping and intimate activities. For a more romantic, soothing feel, try adding a mix of wall lighting with flexible arms and independent switches for reading and table lamps with lower wattage and a lower lumen output for environmental lighting. Instead of pointing the lights directly at the bed, angle them away to provide ambient illumination. A small table lamp with a covered shade and low-watt bulb can help simulate candlelight, making it ideal for those romantic moments. Meanwhile, the table lamps allow for comfortable reading while not encouraging one to stay awake.
In children's bedrooms, consider a table lamp and recessed wall lighting coupled with a night light. This provides adequate light to see by if they need to get up in the middle of the night while also shedding enough light for play or tasks such as homework. Overhead lights are fine while cleaning or playing, but the "stacked" lighting arrangement allows your child to focus light where it is needed most during play time or while tending to schoolwork. Bedroom illumination should be limited to 2,000-4,000 lumens, a minimum of 500 lumens for reading, and 400 lumens for closet spaces.
Bathrooms require some of the brightest lights in the home outside the kitchen because of the emphasis on personal grooming. Sidelights such as sconces work well to illuminate the sides of the face and reduce shadows, while bright overhead lighting such as LED downlights help to eliminate highlights and lowlights on one's face while grooming. LED downlights also make cleaning easier by highlighting the places that need the most attention. Baths should be lit at between 4,000-8,000 lumens, while illumination at the personal grooming area should not be less than 1,700.
Dining Room
In the dining room, the focal point of the room should always be the table. This is the place the family is most commonly in one place at one time. Because of this, a combination of bright overhead lighting or drop pendant lighting and midrange wall lighting helps to create a layered effect with visual texture and depth. If you have art in the dining room,wall lighting will help to bring this to the forefront without overshadowing the table. Indirect lighting helps to define the space and make the area feel more soothing and comfortable, inviting the family to linger over dinner. Because of the dining room's multipurpose utility, average lighting in the dining room should range between 3,000-6,000 lumens.
Interior, Entry, Hallways
These areas rarely require more than sufficient lighting to see by. The exception to this rule is if you have specific pieces of art or unusual architectural features you wish to point up. Accent lighting, such as recessed wall lights or downward-directed overhead lights, can help highlight these features without overpowering the area. Some examples of this are parabolic aluminised reflectors and multifaceted reflectors, which are designed specifically to channel light in one direction. However, the light should never be so close to the artwork as to risk damage. For stairwells and entries, the ambient illumination should range from 1,200-4,000 lumens, while hallways should average 1,200-2,500 lumens.
Outdoor Illumination
Many people overlook the exterior of the home, but this is always the first thing people see when they come to visit. Additionally, proper outdoor lighting adds texture and dimension to a yard and heightens visibility, helping to repel criminals. To achieve this effect, solar-powered garden lights help to pick out pathways and walks. Motion-activated floodlights add security and illumination when necessary. At the doorway, up-and-down lights or traditional sconce lighting make finding keys and avoiding missed steps easier. Doorway illumination should range between 1-2,000 lumens, while path lighting should be a minimum of 300 lumens.

Are Small Investors a Sell Signal?
The case for a market top isn't that clear-cut.
David Avery used to keep half his 401(k) account in bonds and cash. Last year, the 35-year-old computer programmer moved his entire portfolio into stocks, with one recent purchase being Enanta Pharmaceuticals, a small biotechnology company that posted a loss last quarter.
"I could see it going up maybe 50% at a minimum, just being conservative," says Mr. Avery, who is the co-founder of an investment club in Augusta, Ga. "If the market does well, I could see it double easily."...

VIDEO: Today's Headline News from Associated Press
TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) -- Althea Mustacisa was born three days ago in the aftermath of the killer typhoon that razed the eastern Philippines. And for every one of those three days, she has struggled to live.
But she has clung to life because her parents have been pushing oxygen into her tiny body with a hand-held pump non-stop ever since she came into this world.
And "if they stop, the baby will die," said Amie Sia, a nurse at a hospital in typhoon-wracked Tacloban city that is running without electricity and few staff or medical supplies.
"She can't breathe without them. She can't breathe on her own," Sia said. "The only sign of life this little girl has left is a heartbeat."
More than a week after ferocious Typhoon Haiyan annihilated a vast swath of the Philippines, killing more than 3,600 people, the storm's aftermath is still claiming victims - and doctors here fear Althea may be the next.
When the fierce storm smashed into this tropical country on Nov. 8, it transformed Tacloban into an unrecognizable wasteland of rubble and death.
The bottom floor of the two-story government-run Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center was flooded, and the intensive care unit for newborns was left a muddy ruin. Life-saving machinery, like the facility's only incubator, was soiled with water and mud.
As the storm hit, doctors and staff took 20 babies who were already in the intensive care unit to a small chapel upstairs for their safety, placing them three or four in one plastic crib cart built for one newborn.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's health care law risks coming unglued because of his administration's bungles and his own inflated promises.
To avoid that fate, Obama needs breakthroughs on three fronts: the cancellations mess, technology troubles and a crisis in confidence among his own supporters.
Working in his favor are pent-up demands for the program's benefits and an unlikely collaborator in the insurance industry.
But even after Obama gets the enrollment website working, count on new controversies. On the horizon is the law's potential impact on job-based insurance. Its mandate that larger employers offer coverage will take effect in 2015.
For now, odds still favor the Affordable Care Act's survival. But after making it through the Supreme Court, a presidential election, numerous congressional repeal votes and a government shutdown, the law has yet to win broad acceptance.
Obama realizes it's on him to try to turn things around, and quickly. In the first couple of weeks after the website debacle, Obama played the sidelines role of "Reassurer-in-Chief." Now he's on the field, trying to redeem himself.
"I'm somebody who, if I fumbled the ball, I'm going to wait until I get the next play, and then I'm going to try to run as hard as I can and do right by the team," Obama said Thursday at a news conference.
Making sure the website is running a lot better by the end of the month may be his best chance for a game-changing play.
HONOLULU (AP) -- A Hawaii judge on Thursday ruled the state's brand new gay marriage law is legal, despite a challenge saying voters thought they barred same-sex marriage 15 years ago in the state constitution.
Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Karl Sakamoto said the 1998 amendment didn't force the Legislature to define marriage as between a man and a woman. Sakamoto says it doesn't factor into lawmakers' ability to allow gay couples to wed.
"Same-sex marriage in Hawaii is legal," Sakamoto ruled after hearing arguments for more than an hour from the state attorney general and a Republican lawmaker who voted against the bill in the House last week.
The challenge brought by Rep. Bob McDermott was an attempt to block the state from enacting the new law, signed Wednesday by Gov. Neil Abercrombie. The measure allows the state health department to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples Dec. 2. Ceremonies can begin the same day.
McDermott's challenge centered on language in the amendment that he said trumped lawmakers wanting to redefine marriage. The amendment reads: "The legislature shall have the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples."
Hawaii's law makes it the 15th U.S. state to allow gay marriage, along with the District of Columbia. The governor of Illinois is expected to sign a gay marriage bill into law there next week.
Hawaii's law is expected to benefit thousands of gay couples in the state, and boost tourism to the islands as couples use the destination for gay weddings and honeymoons.

How Pets Save Lives
Most animal lovers have read stories of pets that save lives by "detecting" a problem with its owner just before signs and symptoms begin to show.
There are companion dogs trained not only as guides for the blind, but also as part of the "early warning system" for seizure patients and brittle diabetics. These animals "sense" changes which occur just before an event such as a drop in blood sugar levels or a type of aura in a seizure patient. Often the animal will either alert someone to the impending problem or even put its own body between the patient and danger.
Can a dog "detect" cancer?
There are numerous studies to support this. It is believed that a dog uses its highly developed sense of smell to pick up changes in a persons' breath or urine.
At least one such story is told by a woman whose dog kept pawing at one of her breasts. That particular spot was later diagnosed as a cancerous tumor. Others have similar stories about their pets and later being diagnosed with lung, bladder/prostate cancer, and melanoma.
Can a cat sense impending death?
Most have heard of the cat in a nursing home that "knows" when a patient is dying and stays in the room until the person passes away. Some say this is just an urban legend, but those who have a close relationship with an animal have seen their own pets respond to a change in condition.
Nurse Rene had a Dalmatian who seemed aware of her surgery, as he would sit beside the affected knee. Also present was a Maine coon cat who would lie beside the same joint. Both seemed to be protecting the surgical site in a way only they could understand.
What do you think?
Are these just tall tales or a fact of biology? We know that pheromones are secreted and sometimes have highly pungent smells as part of the fight or flight response. Gangrene, GI bleeding, dead tissue and certain bacteria have odors which aid in their detection. We also know that most animals have very highly developed senses–particularly hearing and smell–beyond those of humans.
Why then, wouldn't it be possible for a pet or service dog to detect changes in its owner? The "sweetness" of diabetic ketoacidosis, the "aura" just before a seizure. The animal does not know anatomy and physiology or Biology 101. It only knows what its senses say.

CNET Update
Barbie gets digital makeover at Toy FairThe tech toys of 2013 are unveiled at Toy Fair in New York. CNET's Bridget Carey checks out what's in store for Barbie and Hot Wheels, gets a look at Toby's BattroBorg boxing robots, and finds out how toy guns are incorporating smartphones.
I'm Bridget Carey here at Toy Fair 2013 in New York to see how technology is going to be in tomorrow's toys. Get ready for a new type of battling robot, the BattroBorg by Tomy. This is the starter set and it's a wireless fighting system. The goal is to hit your opponent 5 times in the helmet and then the robot will be disabled. You could even have up to 20 of these guys fighting at once if you're so brave enough to engage in a Battle Royale of that size. Come on, Rocky. Barbie has quite the hi-tech dress on. This is Barbie Digital Dress. It's got a like Lite Brite meets Barbie. Maybe it's your own little digital bedazzling if you want. You can use a stylist to draw what you want on her dresses and you can save different versions of it, or you could even have her dress move to the music. If you wanna be a true Barbie girl, you gotta have Barbie's look, so why not have Barbie's Digital Mirror Makeover where you can have a digital makeover with fake makeup all on a screen. What you need is to stick your parent's iPad in the screen, and it uses augmented reality to kind of paint your face and save pictures of your new glamorous look and be able to send it to other people. Oh yes. That's it. Another big trend we're seeing are toys that work with your old iPhone or iPad, and Mattel is doing this big time. Here you have a Fisher-Price app mobile where you could stick an iPhone inside or put an iPhone in a book. There's iPads and other learning games, and it goes up an age so it's kind of fun how you're taking what you already have in the house, an iPad, and bringing it to life with new toys. Here's a toy that puts a tech twist on Nerf. This is the Tek Recon, and it has actual ammo but you put a smartphone on top to be able to find out where your opponents are who also have a smartphone or where your teammates are all with GPS and radar. And of course Hot Wheels has to have a piece of the app action as well. You don't need an iPad to have fun with it but if you do, it has a video camera with augmented reality which gives your play set a whole new level of fun. Here you have a shark that's jumping over the cars as they race by. It's gonna be about $45 and available in July. Even Lisa Frank has gone techie. They have Light Up diaries now. Excuse me. I'm having a moment. It's clear that tech is making playtime more fun. I got a castle that's calling me. For CNET, I'm Bridget Carey.

Understanding OCR Technology
written by Ari Gross, PhD. CEO of CVISION Technologies, Inc.
Introduction to OCR
Optical Character Recognition, also known as OCR, is the process of converting scanned paper documents into searchable, electronic files. In many office applications, such as invoice processing, there are clear time and cost efficiencies in converting paper documents into electronic documents. For example, entering document information into a database, also known as field coding, is often a very expensive proposition. Using electronically converted files, instead of the original paper, the process of field coding can be sent offshore or even automated.
Recognizing the value of data capture technology is easily measurable. The ability of the technology to reduce the cost and risk associated with paper-based operation can be obvious after a single demo. However, placing a dollar figure on the value and maximizing the success can be much more difficult. There is a substantial number of variables that can influence a successful integration of data capture technology for an organization. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize specific techniques and practices to give data capture technology the best chance of success:
An In-Depth Look at Optical Character Recognition

OCR Improves Paper-Based Processes In Any Industry
In many applications, including accounting, banking, digital libraries, insurance, remote backups, records management and legal settings, OCR is automating the way that businesses process files. Accurate OCR directly lends itself to data extraction which reduces the costs associated with form processing - What can this software do for your organization?

Domestic dispute leads to marijuana bust
by Bend Weekly News Sources
Crook County Sheriff's deputies searching for a man who had fled the scene of a reported domestic dispute south of Prineville on Sunday happened to come across an unrelated marijuana growing operation in the woods nearby, resulting in a second arrest.
Eric Sold (left), and Donald Lee Jenkins (right) - CCJ photosDeputies responded to the report of a domestic altercation at a residence on SE Winchester Loop shortly after 5 p.m. on June 17 only to find that the suspect had fled on foot in a westerly direction prior to their arrival, Undersheriff Jim Hensley reported.
Deputies were searching the wooded terrain when they found a "primitive" marijuana grow being tended by 21-year old Eric Sold of Prineville.
More plants and items used to grow marijuana were found at Sold's residence, Hensley said. Nine mature plants, 19 starter plants, and 78.8 grams of dried marijuana were seized. Had the marijuana grown to maturation and been harvested, Hensley estimated the street value at $10,000.
Sold was taken into custody and lodged at the Crook County Jail with bail set at $75,000. According to the undersheriff, he is charged with manufacturing, delivery, and possession of marijuana.
Within minutes of Sold's arrest, deputies located the original suspect in the domestic dispute. Donald Lee Jenkins, 54, was arrested and jailed for harassment. His bail was set at $5,000, Hensley said.

DRAMA CLUB: Roommate Episode 12 (2/2)
Welcome back to this week's Drama Club: Roommate! This time around, we are building off of the honest feedback that the roommates shared during their camping outing. Remember to let us know what you would love to tell the roommates if you could in the comments section.
Lore: During the camping trip the roomies had some honest things to say to each other; Min Woo received feedback on how he handles situations while Se Ho gave a big thank you to people who took him seriously. So, if you could tell any of the roommates something, what would it be and why?
Rosie: Firstly, thank you for putting your lives on television. Because, wow, that's a hard one. Risky too, because who knows when they're signing the contract if this show is going to make or break them. That takes guts.
Lore: Yes, thank you to all of the Roommates for appearing on the show! To single out a roomie- I would personally love to tell Se Ho that he should be more confident, that he is a great guy, and that he should focus less on people judging him. Maybe it is because we have heard about his darker past from his parents or because of his revelation at the campsite, but I just feel like Se Ho has some unresolved confidence issues (and I simply adore him).
Qisti: I know I've said this many times, but I absolutely love Se Ho. If we hadn't even heard his backstory, I would have never guessed he had confidence issues.
Rosie: I think Se Ho stands to gain most from this show, and it's probably earned him so many fans. I hope he will take that with him, post Roommate.
Likewise though, I think Nana needs to learn how to relax and just be herself on the show, regardless of what people say. She started off so bubbly, sank into her shell at the first attack, and she's just now regaining back some of that early fearlessness.
Qisti: I want to tell Nana to drive more. She's got the skills, sort of. The next camping trip, I want to see her drive that big ol' truck.
Lore: I wish I could tell Bom that people love her for her, because she seems so lonely and isolated!
Qisti: Bom should just keep on being Bom and come back home (pun intended, lol).
Rosie: And sadly, I think we've probably seen the last of her. Bom, we love you still!
Qisti: I personally want to see more So Ra in the show. I was surprised by the little aegyo tantrum that she had while her video was being shown. A good surprise. It was like her cool, supermodel chic wall broke down for a second and we got all that angry aegyo.
Rosie: I'll second this! So Ra has been fading into the background of late, which I hate to see! I think the presence of the 'kids' does this to her because they're so much more energetic. But So Ra, we want to see more of you too!
Lore: Yes! We need more So Ra!
Qisti: As for Kang Joon, if he just keeps on doing things like his "Kang-Il" bungee jump flip, I will be a happy camper.
Rosie: Yes, and please don't be afraid to continue trying on awesome outfits on screen for us. :)
Qisti: His roommate on the other hand, Min Woo, has had his ups and downs. For some reason I want to tell him to keep speaking his mind but be careful with the words he chooses to use. Like with the whole switching car deal, I feel like the thought is there but it's not being conveyed well to the rest of the household and then misunderstandings arise.
Lore: I feel the same way - Min Woo should keep up his honesty but work on his delivery. It seems like his words (and actions) often end up coming across different from his intentions.
Qisti: To Chan Yeol: Just keep maturing the way you've been maturing.
Rosie: Yes, because every growing experience counts!
Lore: Chan Yeol's growing experiences always make me giggle.
Rosie: Soo Hyun-nuna, I love watching her step out of her zone. That hair flip this episode! From the 'innocent' one? Oh wait, I remember when she used her hair like that before! I hope her career just grows and solidifies over time.
With many hair flips.
Qisti: Soo Hyun has definitely grown on me throughout the episodes. She's so nice and caring that it kind of makes me wonder how she is when she's angry. Like if someone spent their last bit of money on something stupid, what would she do? I know I'd definitely make a scene if that happened. I guess I just want to see an explosive side of her. With angry hair flips, maybe? Haha!

Add QuickTime Videos to a Web Page
For years many formats have been released for compatibility issues, compression and encoded by different Orgs, groups and companies; the competition on promoting the most effecient player, but non-have yet succeeded. You have encountered so many formats for videos and audio (whether from downloading from other hosting sites, or converted). Every file format has its strengths and weaknesses, depending on the platform that they are running from, as in our case from browsers that supports the quicktime plug-in.
QuickTime is an extensible proprietary multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity. The classic version of QuickTime is available for Windows XP and later, as well as Mac OS X Leopard and later operating systems. A more recent version, QuickTime X (10.0) is currently available on Mac OS X Snow Leopard andMac OS X Lion.
Taken from Wikipedia.org
Pros Vs Cons
For several years in choosing the right player videos for browsers, the Flash Player Plug-in from Adobe.inc had been widely used by many, and it had stayed there for quite some time now. But due to the news that Ipod and Ipad doesn't support the flash plug-in, many web developers have been developing alternatives to play videos on websites on both mobile and tablets PCs.
HTML5, JScript and CSS embedded sites have been the approach of playing these videos for some mobile browsers. For more info about HTMl5, check my other blog. and 11 Hard truths about HTML5
You don't have to pay fees or sign special licenses before using QuickTime, as you do with competing technologies, but there are plenty of others that are free as well. From a business point of view, using QuickTime is as easy as putting a GIF or JPEG image in your Web page. To see some new QuickTime clips, visit this site
Adding Quicktime Videos
Using the HTML commands.
Some Web tools support embedding of QuickTime content directly. But unless you have such a tool, you need to write HTML commands to embed QuickTime content.
Use the EMBED HTML command. In its basic form, for a file file.mov in the same folder as the Web page, it's very simple:
<EMBED SRC="file.mov" height="200″ width="200″>
similar to embed flash in .swf and .flv for flash
<embed src="intro.swf" height="200″ width="200″/>
Installing QuickTime and the QuickTime plug-in.
You and your users need the latest version of QuickTime and the QuickTime player for them to play the video. Many of your users may have the latest version of QuickTime, but some may not.
Here are the steps to add a QuickTime movie to your Web page:
1. Install QuickTime and the QuickTime plug-in on your own machine.
To download these files, go to the QuickTime software page.
2. Create or obtain a QuickTime movie — animation, sound, video, or VR.
3. Embed the movie in your Web page using the <tag> above.
If you want to play the .mov file from other media players other than QT itself then, better download a codec pack and check out my other blog here for "ways to play any video format". You can try this out and check for the difference and you decide what's the best plug-in, or shall we say the best method in playing videos for the new WEB.

Thanks and Cheers!

Chapter 4: Swimming Upstream Summary and Analysis
Sam is enjoying his latest success with the creation of Wal-Mart. Although he considers himself a fairly conservative guy, he is a maverick in the world of business. Sam is always looking for new and different ways to do things and takes great pleasure in bucking the trends. When the men from Ben Franklin told him to not open any more discounting stores, it fired him up to open more stores and be even more successful.
It is 1962 and many of the successful discounters are driving fancy cars and living in large homes. However, Sam feels that few of these discounters have good operations. In 1962, four large companies started discount stores, including Kmart, Woolworth, Woolco, Target, and Wal-Mart. Sam admits that Wal-Mart's obsession with quality was nothing then what it is today.

What is an eating disorder?
Monday Medical
December 4, 2006
Family health program
What: A free Taking Care of Me family health program, "Recent Advances in the Treatment of Eating Disorders." The speaker is Ken Weiner, MD, founder and medical director of the Eating Disorder Center of Denver.
When: 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7.
Where: Yampa Valley Medical Center, Conference Room 1.
With our society's preoccupation about weight and dieting, it is sometimes difficult to decide if someone really has an eating disorder.
In the United States, 50 percent of fourth-grade girls have reported dieting. This figure rises to 89 percent by age 17. When pressure to be thin starts at such an early age, it is not surprising that 15 percent of young women have disordered eating.
Disordered eating can lead to weight changes and nutritional problems. It also can cause severe medical conditions or emotional problems that interfere with friends, school, family or work.
Education and counseling can be helpful for individuals with disordered eating to help alleviate the dieting behaviors, obsessions about food and weight, and the negative self image which these individuals may have. However, when disordered eating develops into a full-blown eating disorder, it requires immediate professional attention.
An eating disorder is a serious illness in which there is a severe disturbance in eating behavior. There are three major types of eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and binge eating disorder.
Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by extreme weight loss, body image disturbance and an intense fear of becoming fat. Bulimia Nervosa is characterized by binge-eating episodes followed by self-induced vomiting, fasting, excessive exercising or the misuse of laxatives or diuretics. Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of binge eating but without the purging behaviors seen in Bulimia Nervosa.
Recommended Stories For You
While most prevalent in young women, eating disorders can occur in children and older women. Boys and young men also develop eating disorders and an increasing number of cases are being reported.
The death rate for young women with eating disorders is about 12 times higher than for other women of similar ages. The death rates in Anorexia Nervosa alone are among the highest recorded for all psychiatric disorders. Many of these deaths are related to malnutrition, sudden heart attack or suicide.
Eating disorders are complex illnesses which result from various combinations of psychological, social and biological issues. An individual who is vulnerable to developing an eating disorder may start with a diet simply to improve self esteem, or to change their weight or body shape.
Positive feedback from others may initially reinforce the weight loss. As dieting progresses, however, malnutrition and changes in brain chemistry occur. The individual may become increasingly obsessed with body shape and weight and less able to eat normally. For the person who develops an eating disorder, this can be the beginning of a downward spiral.
The most recent research findings in the field of eating disorders indicate that biological factors play a role in the development of these illnesses. Studies have suggested that individuals with eating disorders have certain neurochemical abnormalities in their brains.
There is also a high incidence of co-occurring depression in individuals with eating disorders. There appears to be an increased frequency of eating disorders in biological siblings, parents and children of patients with eating disorders, suggesting a possible genetic basis to the illnesses.
Although dangerous and often difficult to treat, there is hope and help for eating disorders. Early intervention is the key. Whether with therapy, medication or a combination of both, eating disorders can be successfully treated. Relapses can occur but the sooner treatment begins, the better the chances are for recovery and a return to a healthier life.

The Ocean Cleaner is developing the first feasible global project for fighting and recycling the ocean's plastic pollution. The concept approved by Florida Atlantic University – Brian E. Lapointe.
The global project in "3 minutes video"
Plastic wastes are not born in the seas and oceans, they come from the land and they disperse with the liking of winds and ocean currents. We must make even more efforts to prevent our wastes to reach the shores. While waiting to get there, the best way to fight marine pollution is :
- to block our floating wastes along the coastline
- to harvest them quickly
- to sort them and recycle them
In the city, we can't imagine the removal of rubbish without garbage trucks. With 8 Million Tons of plastic discarded at sea each year, it was essential to create a special boat to collect our garbage at sea. That's why I imagined the Sargaboat © and Sargatrailer © !
To see more about the Sargaboat ©, click here !
This boat can work in deep sea and along a special floating barrier that blocks plastic debris (who lets the sea turtles and other marine life pass under).
As you saw in the video, we want to partially replace the sand by plastic flakes to make concrete.
We will use this concrete to manufacture "Green Reefs©".
>> To read the scientific report "Green Concrete using Plastic Waste"
By creating "Green Reefs©" :
- we prevent the disappearance of fish in the oceans
- we rebuild nurseries for fish and coral reefs to repopulate the oceans
- we reduce erosion of shorelines and beaches
This great idea has other positive environmental impacts :
- the recycling of plastic wastes
- the reduction of sand consumption
- the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions because plastic is everywhere, but sand, Not !
We all know the urgency of the fight against plastic pollution. Many among us are still unaware, but there is in this world a real "sand war" ! Some islands disappear and miles of beaches are destroyed to harvest the sand which is used to make concrete, glass, computer parts etc. We can't use the desert sand, so it is urgent to find solutions to also reduce our consumption of this precious sand. See article on the following link : The Sand War !

The following list shows many of the LDAP controls that Active Directory supports with relation to searching, as well as how to use the more common controls with AdFind:
Specifying this LDAP control instructs the domain controller that it can return more results than can fit in a single page. This is useful when searching for large result sets and should generally always be included in an Active Directory search.
DirSync is an LDAP feature that allows you to ask Active Directory for all the objects in a given naming context that have changed since the last time the search was performed. Changes are tracked with a cookie that is returned by the server.
The DirSync control will only return modified attributes. If you want to return the full object when any attribute of that object has been modified, and you are running
Windows Server 2012 or later, use the LDAP_SERVER_DIRSYNC_EX_OID (1.2.840.1135188.8.131.520) version of this control instead.
Applications such as Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) use the DirSync LDAP feature to track changes. For more information on this feature, refer to this link.
To make sure that the domain controller does not return referrals to result sets that are stored on other servers, include this LDAP control in your request.
When this LDAP control is enabled, Active Directory will return the SID and objectGUID of each result as prefixes to the object's DN in the result set. For more information, refer to this link.
This extremely useful LDAP control instructs Active Directory to return statistics about how the query processor will perform the requested search, as well as per‐ formance statistics about the result. We'll discuss this feature in more detail later in this chapter.
When this control is specified, Active Directory won't return a result until the re‐ quested object is modified. This is useful for tracking changes to specific objects in the directory and responding to them. For more information, refer to this link.
Similar to the paged results control mentioned earlier, this is typically a control you will always want to specify. The ranged results control is used when you need to retrieve values in a multivalued attribute in excess of the maximum number of values a DC will return by default. You can use the LDAP_SERVER_RANGE_RETRIEV AL_NOERR_OID (1.2.840.1135184.108.40.2068) alternate implementation of this LDAP control to ensure that errors will not be returned if you request more values than are available.
Use this control to tell the domain controller which components of an object's ntSecurityDescriptor (the ACL) to retrieve. Depending on the permissions of the user performing the query, not all of the components of the ACL may be read‐ able. For more information, refer to this link.
This generic control's most useful function is called phantom root. The phantom root feature enables you to perform a search across all of the naming contexts (application NCs excluded) hosted on a global catalog. If you have a multidomain
forest with disjointed namespaces, use this control to search across all of the do‐ mains at once. Use the -pr switch to enable this function in AdFind.
This control instructs the domain controller to include deleted objects and tomb‐ stones in the result set. If you have enabled the Active Directory Recycle Bin, this will only include objects that are currently recoverable. To include objects that have transitioned out of the Recycle Bin, you must also include the LDAP_SERV ER_SHOW_RECYCLED_OID (1.2.840.1135126.96.36.1994) control.
Active Directory treats deactivated linked values (links to objects that are in the Recycle Bin) differently. If you want to include deactivated links in your results, add the LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DEACTIVATED_LINK_OID (1.2.840.113518.104.22.1685) con‐ trol.
To include deleted objects in AdFind, append the -showdel switch. If you also want to include objects that have transitioned out of the Recycle Bin, also append the -showrecycled switch. To include deactivated links, append -showdelobjlinks.
This control instructs the server to sort the results based on one attribute before returning the result set. You can request search results to be sorted with AdFind by using the -sort and -rsort (reverse order) parameters. This document provides a great deal more information about sorting, especially with regard to the language- specific ordering of a result set and phonetic sort functionality on Japanese- language domain controllers.
Server-side sorting requires the use of a temporary table in the Active Directory database when the attribute being sorted on is not indexed. Temporary tables are limited in size. Consequently, server-side sorting of large result sets with unindexed attributes will likely fail due to the size constraints of the temporary table.
Virtual list view (VLV) searches are useful for large searches that will be paged through in a format similar to scrolling through an address book or phone directory. In fact, some versions of Microsoft Exchange use VLV for building the address books shown in email clients. For more information, refer to this link.
Attribute scoped queries (ASQs) are useful when you want to perform a query based on a linked attribute's value(s). For example, you might want to return all of the users who are members of a group called All Users. You can do this using AdFind with this syntax:
adfind -asq member -b "cn=All Users,ou=Groups,dc=cohovines,dc=com" -f "objectClass=user"

Nestled amid the soft, verdant islands and the clear blue waters of the southern Caribbean, Trinidad & Tobago is a tropical destination that deftly blends the exotic and the modern. This is a land where cliches come true and dreams are made real.
Imagine yourself reclining in a beach chair within sight of South America. One hand wraps around a chilled, rum-infused cocktail as the other weighs a couple of acai berries. You gaze out at the cloud-studded horizon in an effort to determine precisely where the water meets the sky. Behind you, palm trees sway in a gentle dance that only the trade winds can compel. This is Trinidad & Tobago. Your customized island journey awaits.
Asphalt Deposits at Pitch Lake: While Trinidad & Tobago is a world-renowned tourist attraction, its economy isn't solely based on inputs from visitors. The country's thriving oil and gas industry takes advantage of easily accessible deposits like the asphalt pools at Pitch Lake. Under supervision, visitors can walk out on cooled asphalt platforms or dip a rod into the gooey deposits that lie beneath. The smells and sounds of this place aren't to be forgotten, but its role in the furthering of Trinidad & Tobago's nascent research industry is often downplayed. Countless new forms of life have been discovered in the hostile environment of these asphalt pits.
Culture and Refinement in Port of Spain: With a population of just over 50,000, Port of Spain isn't Trinidad & Tobago's largest city. It is, however, the country's undisputed cultural capital. While here, visit the stately, centrally located Gothic Rosary Church, an 18th-century structure that mirrors the Gothic cathedrals of Europe and remains open to the public. Christopher Columbus Square offers a wealth of interpretive exhibits on the first Westerner to lay eyes on the islands that would become Trinidad & Tobago. Before you leave, visit at least one of the fine art museums and galleries that sprinkle Port of Spain's central core.
Calypso Amid the Palms: Trinidad & Tobago is the birthplace of calypso music, and it's impossible to escape its lilting melodies and languid verses. Virtually every resort property on the islands has an in-house calypso band or makes arrangements to host traveling musicians, so you won't need to do much planning to enjoy this quintessentially Trinidadian experience. The pleasure of calypso may be heightened with an expertly mixed rum cocktail.
Pigeon Point on Tobago: One of the most popular places to enjoy calypso - and listen to expert steelpan players - is Pigeon Point, an exclusive resort enclave on the smaller island of Tobago. True to its name, Pigeon Point juts out into the blue-green Caribbean waters and plays host to melodic flocks of birds. Bring your swim trunks and enjoy a relaxing day in the bath-like waters of the nearby sea. At night, unwind with an evening stroll along the palm-studded beach and a hearty plate of stewed chicken and cornmeal dumplings.
Best Time To Visit:
Since Trinidad & Tobago lies just a few degrees off the equator, it's firmly ensconced in the tropical zone. While the country's climate is mild and predictable throughout the year, most visitors prefer to avoid the rainy season that runs from July through December. Trinidad & Tobago is quite lush, however, and visitors should expect some rain at any time of year. Happily, Trinidad & Tobago usually avoids the paths of Atlantic hurricanes and has not seen a devastating tropical storm strike in some time. The statistical threat of such events does increase during the months of August, September and October. Travelers who wish to avoid crowds at local attractions may wish to arrive towards the end of the dry season in May or June.
To learn even more about Trinidad & Tobago or to set up a completely customized travel package for you and your family, please fill out the callback form and prepare to speak with one of our destination specialists.

Best of 1 on Train, should be a hard game for mouz. The game has some importance for SK, as they are trying to avoid relegation. Mouz really need to win their remaining games if they are to make the top 4, and this is a game they can't afford to lose. Mouz looked in good form yesterday, but you only have to see how SK played against Fsid3 to know they are not a bad Train side. Cadian and MagiksboY played really well.
Mouz are not the best Train side in the world, so this game worries me a bit. The odds don't make for good reading either. I will probably skip betting on this, but because mouz turned a page at Cevo it seems, and since, if I had to bet, my skins would be on mouz, but only a LOW bet. If SK can keep playing well against Fsid3, it may make this game a more attractive bet than it is now.

House Sitter in Hanover
Hi there! I am starting graduate school at York College of Pennsylvania. I was previously a Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care nurse at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Due to the rigorous course of study for a Nurse Anesthetist program, I am unable to work as a registered nurse. I decided that pet sitting/House Sitting would be best for my schedule since it varies slightly from week to week. I am able to do a wide variety of pet care including administering medications (I used to have an epileptic dog and a diabetic dog so giving animal meds is very familiar to me). I can take them for walks if necessary or play with them. I come from a home of Labrador Retrievers so large dog sizes are not a problem for me. I am also able to house sit if you happen to want to get away. It would give me a quiet place to study and give you peace of mind that your house and beloved pets are in good hands. I hope you will consider me for your specific needs! I do have clearances and background checks (I had to get for school) if you would like credentials. Hope to hear from you soon!

There has been a lot of buzz about SBS' 'Passionate Love' especially because Girls' Generation's Seohyun has landed a role in the new weekend drama.
The producer of the drama, Bae Tae Sub, recently revealed some of his thoughts on Seohyun as an actress. He explained that he chose to cast her because she was going to school for theater and she had the basic skills down.
He said, "Truthfully, I am not familiar with all 9 members of Girls' Generation. However, I cast Seohyun because I thought she suited the image of character Han Yoo Rim."
In regards to her acting, the producer responded, "To tell the truth, seeing that it is her first time, it is understandable that she makes minor errors on set. However, her understanding and expressiveness of the character exceeds those of a rookie actress."
To see for yourself whether Seohyun successfully captures the essence of Han Yoo Rim, check out the premiere of 'Passionate Love' on September 28!

Justin Bieber Surprises Crowds At Selena Gomez Gig
Plus, the Baby singer celebrates Gomez's 19th birthday...
Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at girlfriendSelena Gomez's gig on Sunday night
TheJustin Timberlake classic, Cry Me A River.
Following his impromptu performance, the Biebster took to Twitter, telling his followers: "Had a #greatnight and surprised the people. felt good to be on stage. nothing is changing that. #REAL (sic)."
In a separate message to Selena, the 17-year old superstar tweeted: "U did great tonight. proud of u."
Justin's appearance at the Monte Carlo star's show followed Gomez's 19th birthday celebrations, where the Baby singer is said to have treated his girl to a trip to Disneyland.
Despite reports suggesting Gomez was to spend her birthday without Justin, claiming it will be "boring", Hollywoodlife.com has reported that Biebs whisked Selena off to the California-based theme park, before taking her for a romantic meal at Japanese eatery, Geisha House.
An onlooker told the website: "They seemed really happy and totally in love. While they were eating dinner, Justin fed her a Hollywood sushi roll, which is a roll with crab, avocado and tempura cucumber."
"For dessert, they shared tempura green tea ice cream. It had three candles in it, and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to Selena, including Justin."
They added: 'Right before she blew out the candles, Justin said 'Make a wish!' and she smiled. After she blew out the candles, Justin leaned over and kissed her on the lips."
It seems like Selena's birthday wasn't so boring after all...

Heres how I raised a wonderful, healthy, fresh vegetable garden working on it only 10 minutes a day. Id spend 10 minutes a day telling Sue what to do and then Id go play golf. It couldnt have been easier. Some guys say they havent got the time to spend 10 minutes telling their wives how to garden, but I say, Make the time, and sure enough, fresh fruit and vegetables will be yours all summer long.
But then I learned my system had a flaw. Sue doesnt listen to me and does her gardening without my help.
In spite of it, she said when I told her, that, like everyone else in these hard times, I will be growing my own garden this year. Why should I give my hard-earned money to a grocery store when I can give it to Burpee for seeds, the Home Depot for fencing, Lowes for fertilizer, the garden supply store for hoes, rakes, trowels, dandelion pullers, tomato stakes, Japanese beetle traps, hoses and 1,000 other tools of the trade. Suddenly, grocery store produce was starting to look like a bargain. And I was already off schedule. The shopping that day took two hours, not 10 minutes.
Sue showed me how to use the rototiller: a complicated, dangerous, nasty-looking bit of machinery. It would be easy to lose a toe or break a collarbone if I wasnt careful. After 10 minutes of hanging on for dear life while the machine kicked and bucked, I had one square foot of garden tilled and ready to go. I was also missing my wallet and my sunglasses. The rototiller had shaken them out of my pocket and then plowed them under. It took the better part of 20 minutes to find both halves of my wallet. The sunglasses were a mangled knot of metal and glass. Once again I was off my 10-minutes-a-day schedule, and several hundred dollars in the hole. At least Im not throwing my money down a rat hole. Im throwing it down a gopher hole.
After a few weeks of tilling 10 minutes a day, I was missing my car keys, several fillings, my lucky silver dollar, my Medic Alert bracelet and my cell phone. But at last the garden was ready for planting. Let the savings begin.
Over the next week, I spent 10 minutes a day planting bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, zucchinis, cukes and six different kinds of squash. Squash keeps for a long time, you can eat it all winter long. The weather was great, I planted and played golf every day. This is so easy. I dont know why everyone doesnt do it. Plus Im getting close to nature, seeing where our food comes from, the earth and the sun. Being out in the fresh air, its wonderful, its living out loud. I didnt know what Id been missing all these years.
Suddenly my garden took off. The plants seemed to double in size overnight. The bigger they got, the more water they needed. Now I was spending 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening watering. That still left plenty of time to play golf.
Sue has long hated golf. Are you goofing off again, today? shell ask.
No, Im playing golf.
She says, Thats what I just asked you.
The next week the plants once again doubled in size. Except, this time, the things that doubled in size were weeds. It was taking two hours a day watering and two hours a day weeding to keep the garden in shape. That still left plenty of time for golf, but my back hurt and I was tired all the time. I had to cut back. Why did I plant so many tomatoes? Who will eat all this cilantro? What am I going to do with a few hundred bell peppers? The zucchinis are like magic beans, they grow from an inch to a baseball bat overnight. Why did I plant 10 of them? One plant could feed a family of six for three months. I cant play golf anymore with this back pain. I cant afford the membership anyway.
