Dear Dr. Gousse, Dr. Merisier, and Ms. Toussaint,
The second day when I woke up, I looked at my schedule and I knew this day was going to be a fun day and it sure was a fun day for real even though it was rainy. We did a lot of walking going from place to place. The third day was amazing without any rain, it was kind of warm and I took so many pictures on that day especially at the Lincoln Memorial. I saw where Martin Luther King Junior gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. The Capitol Hill day was kind of cold and we walked the most on that day. On Thursday we went to a theater. It was amazing. Friday was very sad because it wasn't cool at all to say goodbye to an amazing week like that. If I could meet all of you who helped me with the money, I would thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing week. I am hoping to go back to DC and have a chance to see the president with my own eyes.
That's my dream. Sincerely,
Sheslie Decimus

The story seems to be so close to urban legend, and yet there is the image to prove that it really happened. I expect to see more of this sort of journalism as computer graphics gets subtler. The borderline between reality and urban legend is, unfortunately, slipping.Article

- Newly proposed or hypothetical inter-regional import/export pipelines
- Expansions or tariff changes on existing pipelines
- Proposed pipeline projects for new or growing supply sources to markets
- Proposed LNG import/export terminals and capacity expansions

History speaks
By John Joyce
Published in News on February 7, 2018 5:50 AM
News-Argus/CASEY MOZINGO
Event organizer and emcee Maximillian Mozingo takes time to speak to a few people attending during intermission Tuesday night.
News-Argus/CASEY MOZINGO
People listen as Bakari DaShawn talks about his past and starting his own business Tuesday night on the second floor of the Wayne County Museum before the opening night program for the Black History Month exhibit.
The top floor of the Wayne County Museum Tuesday night looked more like a festival or a bazaar than a historical enclave.
During an intermission from the Black History Month social taking place ---- complete with speakers, poetry performances and singers ---- guests mingled with merchants of African and African-American inspired art, clothing and accessories.
The crowd of more than 50 people at its height, not counting the number of people downstairs perusing the museum's month-long black history exhibit, was a healthy mix of various races and age groups.
Organizer and locally-based painter Maximillian Mozingo said the turnout exceeded his expectations.
"The turnout was great, it was more than I expected. But then, my expectation was just to feel the love and energy in the room," he said.
The event, a collaboration between Mozingo and newly-acquired museum director Jennifer Kuykendall, was intended dually as a look back and ahead for the African-American community, and the local community as a whole, he said.
"We're here to celebrate pioneering entrepreneurs and Wayne County's black history. We have an exhibit downstairs, and upstairs we have a social going on with featured speakers, councilmen with the city, poets and singers," Mozingo explained.
"It just shows, it's just indicative of how we forge ahead. We have opportunities now that you had to fight for, or didn't have at certain times."
Among the speakers, which included city council members Antonio Williams and Bevan Foster who went on too late to be included in this report ahead of going to press, was Brandi Matthews, a local educator and entrepreneur who recently gained notice and support for her Blessing Boxes program.
Painted boxes have been springing up around town as a place for those who have more than they need to leave food, clothing and other essential items to be received and put to use by those who might not have quite as much.
"I was approached by Max (Mozingo) with the opportunity that he was putting together this program that talked about pioneers really doing something groundbreaking in this area," she said.
At first, she was surprised at the invitation to take part in the event, she added.
"But anything that is positive and forward moving and educational, I definitely want to be a part of those things," Matthews said.
Her primary focus when speaking before the multiracial, multigenerational audience was education.
"That's one thing I talked about tonight is educating yourself. And it's more than just math and science, not saying that those things aren't important, but we really want to get involved in what's happening in our local city, what's happening in our local government and beyond," she said.
Matthews said she has not previously spent a lot of time in the Wayne County museum, so her interest was piqued when she heard about the new exhibit and the event being put on for Black History Month.
"I was anxious to see the new exhibits that they had up with the new director. I definitely want to be the person that shows my support to all of the things that are happening in the community.
"With my recent endeavors, the community literally has wrapped their arms around me in this project, so I definitely want to make sure I can do that for others," she said.
Kuykendall was downstairs visiting with guests while much of the festivities were going on a flight up.
She was speaking with one of Goldsboro and Wayne County's most revered gems, Mrs. Ernestine Wooten, when she stopped to speak to the News-Argus about the event.
Mrs. Wooten, who will turn 93 in March, played an integral part of gathering the stories and artifacts on exhibit in the museum this month, she said.
"Mrs. Wooten is, because she is of her age and her experience, was better than Google. Because, not only did she know exactly who to speak to, she would call people for me and say, 'you really need to call the lady at the museum back,' and people would return my calls because of who she is.
"She is so respected and beloved in the community, so she made my job easier. And I got to hang out with her in my office every day which was wonderful."
Mrs. Wooten said she was pleased with how the exhibit came together and with the positive turnout.
She said she was happy to see a new generation be inspired, as she has seen several, and hoped the actions of the next generation will match their spirit of hopefulness and positivity.
Then, exhibiting her wisdom, she passed on a valuable lesson in the midst of being interviewed while on the subject of her upcoming birthday.
"You just gave me a gift, an early birthday gift. Did you know that? You smiled," she said, breaking into a wide smile of her own.
"Don't you know that when you smile at someone, you uplift them. You warm them inside and you lift them up. You just did that for me," she said.
Noah Hood, a Goldsboro resident and Wayne Community College student volunteering at the exhibit, was standing nearby and heard Mrs. Wooten's comment.
When asked his immediate impression being a young man hearing such wisdom from an elder, he thought carefully before answering.
"Inspirational," he said. "Inspirational."

When Nikkita Oliver became the first serious challenger to announce that she'd run against Seattle's current mayor, Ed Murray, many in her community were overjoyed, reports Ijeoma Oluo. A young, black progressive lawyer, community organizer, and activist, Oliver had also "been by our side fighting to protect the dignity of our homeless population" and "the future of our youth of color." Everyone, Oluo says, "knew she was for real."
"But I know a thing or two about what it's like to be a loud black woman in this city. This majority-white city loves to hold up its activists and artists of color — provided they don't do or say anything to threaten the status quo," says Oluo.
Despite the lack of attention from the mainstream press, Oliver has run an exciting campaign, with "hundreds of Seattleites of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and classes" showing up for a real progressive candidate.
"I have an incredible team. They are mostly people of color, mostly women and queer folks and — we get it. When something happens that would throw other people off, we just keep moving. We are resilient. I think that is a really big advantage for us," Oliver told Oluo.
As a child of working-class parents, Oliver is all-too-familiar with moving from one apartment to apartment in search of affordable rent in Seattle as the city becomes more and more gentrified.
Oliver sat down with Oluo recently to discuss the mayor's race and the challenges ahead for her and the people of Seattle.

Al & Jane Micallef have called Texas home for decades. Al was born with an entrepreneurial streak. At the age of 7 he was selling his own brand of rust remover which combined sand and Ajax. He sold Christmas trees and started a dance club while in high school. By 25, he stepped in to help his friend's parents manage their company, Detroit Silicone Rubber Co. Three years later, when the company was sold to K&M Plastics and renamed Jamak, Inc., Al became vice president and general manager. He then purchased 20% of the company. Al now is the sole owner of Jamak located in Weatherford, Texas.
Al's other business ventures include the Reata restaurants in Alpine and Fort Worth; CF Ranch, Land and Cattle Company, Jeff Davis and Brewster Counties; Sierra La Rana, a planned housing community outside of Alpine and Micallef Cigars as well as many others.
Al, through his sponsorship of Trappings of Texas, helped to create a permanent collection of Trappings art and gear for the Museum, while supporting the artists who made those works.
Al & Jane have three wonderful children, Mike who resides in Fort Worth; Amanda who resides in Los Angeles, California and Sarah residing in Alpine, Texas.
Turning Points in Teaching: Early Education and the Annual Summer Normal in Alpine
In 1886, shortly after then Murphyville, now Alpine, was established, a one-teacher school was established. The school continued to grow and by 1907 the Alpine Independent School District was established.
The president of the AISD was Joseph Daniel, J.D., Jackson and he along with school superintendent George W. Page oversaw the expansion of the district. More importantly, however, they created the Annual Alpine Summer Normal that offered continuing education courses to teachers in the area beginning in 1910.
With the incredible success of the Summer Normal, Jackson and others began a campaign to secure a permanent Normal School in Alpine.
This exhibit explored these historic times in Alpine, what a Normal School is, the story of J.D. Jackson and the start of Sul Ross State University! The exhibit ended September 3, 2017.

Espino Conference Center, Sul Ross State University
About Michael Grauer:
Michael Grauer directs the PPHM's curatorial staff, is the museum's Curator of Art, and oversees the weapons, sports, and cowboy and ranching artifact collections. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, he received a bachelor's degree with a double major in art history and painting from the University of Kansas and a master's degree in Art History from Southern Methodist University.
After college he worked at the National Museum of American Art (now the Smithsonian American Art Museum) in Washington, D.C. Michael didn't always plan on an art career, though. Originally, he wanted to play professional football or be a cowboy. Instead he went to art school, "because I could draw horses better than anyone and I didn't know what else to do." If Michael could live anywhere else in the world, it would be Taos, New Mexico (for the art scene) or Saskatchewan (because the name "sounds cool").

3rd Annual Heritage Dinner honoring Leighton & Jim Donnell
Friday, September 16, 2016
On Friday, September 16, the Museum of the Big Bend honored and recognized Leighton and Jim Donnell of Marfa and Fowlerton, Texas at the third annual Heritage Dinner. Begun in 2014, the Heritage Dinner is an annual fundraising event that supports the exhibits and programming at the Museum of the Big Bend and each year honors an individual or individuals that have made a significant contribution to the heritage, culture and history of the region and the museum. Past recipients include Victor J. Smith, 2014, and Miriam and Emmett McCoy, 2015.
Leighton and Jim Donnell became friends with the museum in 2000 when they donated works from the Beryl Lowe and John Rice estate. Beryl, Jim's mother, was an accomplished artist who worked in a variety of media including monotypes, stitchery, primitives, sculpture, and ceramics. From this initial donation, the Donnell's continued their enthusiastic support of the museum by contributing funds through the Beryl Lowe and John W. Rice Foundation for the museum's capital campaign to restore its historic 1936 Texas Centennial era building and to support children's programming at the museum beginning in 2001. The Donnell's contributions have impacted people from all walks of life through their financial support.
Museum Director, Liz Jackson said, "The Donnell's epitomize the impact of philanthropy in our region with their long standing support of the Museum of the Big Bend and our larger community. I hope our Big Bend friends will come join us in celebrating the contributions of this exceptional family." In honor of the Donnell's, the Friends of the Heritage Dinner have come forward to support this event. These generous contributors include the Gage Hotel, Anne & Malcolm Calaway, Yana & Marty Davis, Susan Combs & Joe Duran, Kay & Don Green, Kathleen & Pat Kennedy, Poco Reata Properties, John Poindexter, Leslie & David Pohl, Paula Wilson & Lonnie Rodriquez, and Anne & Johnny Weisman.

TPS 25: The International Competition
June 3 – September 4, 2016
TPS 25: The International Competition highlighted 60 works by 25 artists to commemorate the 25th anniversary of this show. The exhibition opened with a reception June 3, 2016, at Museum of the Big Bend in Alpine, Texas, and was accompanied by supplementary programming during Alpine Photo Weekend.
Exhibiting Artists: Mariana Bartolomeo | Craig Becker | Ellen Cantor | Valerie Cargo | Jo Ann Chaus | Calvin Chen | Bob Cornelis | Marcus DeSieno | AnnieLaurie Erickson | Bin Feng | Steve Goff | Leah Gose | Cynthia Hurayt | Tracy Lynch | Jamie Maldonado | Marilyn Maxwell | Molly McCall | Laurie B. McCormick | Jelisa Peterson | Lori Pond | Charles Rozier | Janet Flato Sanders | John R. Van Beekum | Sandra Chen Weinstein | Angilee Wilkerson & Jana C. Perez [award winners noted in bold]
Juror Rixon Reed of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has selected 60 images from 25 photographers for TPS 25: The International Competition. Reed writes of his selections:
In today's image-laden world, it's not hard to find interesting photographs to view. There are an incredible number of websites with constant streams of images, but usually with very little context. Scroll through them long enough and you'll almost always find something to linger on. But for me, it's rare that these images give me the desire to delve deeper and learn more about the work scrolling past me.
So, what do I respond to?
As a bookseller who sees hundreds of new titles each year, I get most excited about work that uses the medium in aesthetically interesting ways. I'm drawn to all kinds of imagery from documentary, street photography, portraiture, nudes, to constructed photographs and studio work. In judging whether or not a book is successful, I ask myself, does this present an unusual viewpoint? How creative is the design? Does the form it takes make sense aesthetically with the work it contains?
As a gallerist, I'm drawn to artists who are exploring their world in exciting new ways and producing images with fresh ideas and/or aesthetic beauty. I'm particularly interested in the use of alternative processes in the age of the digital image or unusual uses of digital photography.
But ultimately, when looking at individual images, I want to be struck by their originality. I want to feel the image emotionally and I want it to be smartly done. I want to find images that make me think, "Here is a creative mind working on something different."
Jim Bones: 50 Years of Bagging Light in the Big Bend
June 3 – August 31, 2016
Jim Bones was born in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1943. His father was an Air Force officer so he attended many primary schools, graduating from high school in Lompoc, California, in 1962. He enrolled at UT Austin in 1962 to study aerospace engineering, but soon switched to geology. He then changed to fine arts to study and work with the documentary photographer Russell W. Lee.
In 1965 Bones began a lifelong career working with a large-format camera that makes 4x5 inch transparent slides. His first professional job was as production assistant to filmmaker Ron Perryman, for the H.E.W.-sponsored film, Pandora's Box, Austin, Texas (1967) and the following year as a research photography consultant, for Programma de Education InterAmericana, for Texas A&M University. From 1971 to 1972 he was a photography teacher at Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin, Texas. He spent a year (1972-1973) at the Dobie-Paisano Ranch, near Austin. The photographs made during his residency were published in 1975 in Texas Heartland: A Hill Country Year with John Graves.
From 1975 to 1978 he worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the dye transfer printing assistant to Eliot Porter, who was widely respected for his large-format color work, especially of nature. Bones' other works include the black and white book Texas Earth Surfaces (1970), Texas Wild, with Richard Phelan (1976), Junks of Central China, with Joseph E. Spencer (1976), Texas West of the Pecos (1981), Rio Grande, Mountains to the Sea (1985), Texas, Images of the Landscape (1986), Seeds Of Change-The Living Treasure, with Kenny Ausabel, (1994), The Smithsonian Guides To Natural America, The South Central States, with Mel White (1996), and A Long View Southwest, with J. Frank Dobie (2012). Encino Press of Austin, Texas, published two portfolios of Bones' handmade dye-transfer prints, A Texas Portfolio, with John Graves (1977), and A Wildflower Portfolio (1978).
While living in Santa Fe from 1978 to 2005, he was a self-employed photographer, writer and guide and upon moving to Alpine in 2005 has been the Interpretive Exhibit Photographer and Design Consultant for the Brewster County Tourism Council. Bones also produced Images and Memories, an 8-part series of video programs about nature with writer Bill Porterfield for The Public Broadcasting System at KERA-TV, Dallas, Texas (1970-1971). In 1998 he produced The Seed Ball Story, a half hour video about a unique habitat restoration technique. His most recent video, Dreams of the Earth, Love Songs for a Troubled Planet, was made in collaboration with Terlingua songwriter, June Rapp. All are viewable on Youtube.
His works are in the permanent collections of: Alexander and Alexander of Texas, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas ; Allen State Bank Collection, Dallas, Texas, Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth; Greg Copeland Collection, Fairfield, New Jersey; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; Photography Collection, Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, Austin, Southland Royalty Company, Fort Worth, Lucent Corporation, Dallas, Wittliff Collection, Texas State University-San Marcos, and Story Sloane Collection, Houston.

Caleb Jagger and Farm Worker Portraiture
Caleb Jagger, Fort Davis, has been working on an art project since the summer of 2014 photographing farm harvests in the American Southwest. He started this project "because farm workers and people that harvest the food that we eat, don't get enough respect and are not represented." Jagger has visited over a dozen farms and taken over 360 portraits of people harvesting fruits and vegetables, from oranges to onions.

Jim Bones and Dye Transfer Printing
Jim Bones, Alpine, will demonstrate the ancient art of dye transfer printing, a technique derived from the Technicolor motion picture film process developed in the 1930s. From the 1940s, until Kodak quit making materials in 1994, it was the premier photographic color print process. Jim began making prints for Eliot Porter in 1975, and continued to use stored supplies for his own work until 2005. Three primary colored dye images, cyan, magenta and yellow, are each applied by a delicate sponge-like matrix, one after another, to a single sheet of white paper, to make a complete image. The actual "rolling" of the print is performed in full light, in a wet tray, darkroom environment. He will roll one straight print, and then roll a second modified version to show basic color control techniques. All ages are encouraged to attend. "Dye transfer prints are simply without peer. They have a richness, depth, and fidelity unmatched by any other kind of photographic print. They can show extraordinary subtlety of tone and hue, combined with a brightness range of 500:1 from blackest black to whitest white. Nothing else comes close to the magnificence of a dye transfer print." Ctein, Master Dye Transfer Printer

Knowing the North Star: The Life and Art of Tom Lea
Presented by Adair Margo, President of the Tom Lea Institute Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 10 AM Sul Ross State University – Morgan University Center – 2nd Floor
Though largely unknown outside of El Paso, Texas, Tom Lea, 1907-2001, knew where he belonged. A muralist, illustrator, artist, war correspondent, novelist and historian, Lea was probably the only person to have been threatened by Pancho Villa, interrupted by Chiang Kai-shek and regaled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. However with his worldwide travels, he always returned to his beloved El Paso. Lea created murals for federal buildings across the U.S. during the 1930s, created illustrations for two books with J. Frank Dobie and was an "Accredited War Artist-Correspondent" for Life magazine during World War II. His firsthand account of the Marine landing on the Peleliu beachhead was a turning point in his career. He published a fine press book of his eyewitness account with illustrations with the help of master printer Carl Hertzog. His eleven paintings from this landing including "The Two Thousand Yard Stare" have been reproduced in countless publications. After his WWII experiences, he became an author in his own right. His works which he fully illustrated include The Brave Bulls and The Wonderful Country, which were both made into major motion pictures, and the two volume set of the history of the King Ranch. In the 1970s he returned to his studio full time. His painting Rio Grande hung in the Oval Office during the administration of President George W. Bush. Over twenty original works of art from the El Paso Museum of Art were on display.
Big Bend Plein Air

War Stories Project Invitation
Saturday, June 13 from 10 am – 4 pm
The Department of History at Angelo State University, supported by a three-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, invites West Texas residents to participate in a new historical preservation project, "War Stories: West Texans from World War I to the Present."
The project's goal is to collect and preserve the stories and experiences of armed forces personnel and their families with a West Texas connection, past or present. The result will be a digital archive to serve as a research resource for future generations and a memorial to those Americans who helped shape the course of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
The digital archive, which will be at ASU's Dr. Ralph R. Chase West Texas Collection, will include photographs, letters and other memorabilia, as well as oral and video interviews from military members, veterans and their families.

Russell Lee Photographs
February 10 – March 29, 2015
"The legacy of Russell Lee's documentary photography is profound," said Dr. Don Carleton, director of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History. "From his work with the photographic unit of the Federal Farm Security Administration during the Depression, his controversial study of Spanish-speaking people in Texas, and his political work as a photographer for the Texas Observer, Russell evidenced a singular compassion for the human condition." This traveling exhibition of 37 black and white photographs by renowned documentary photographer Russell Lee draws from the magnificent archive that he donated to the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History just prior to his death in 1986. Russell Lee Photographs offers a rare glimpse into the remarkable images he produced in 1935 and 1936 when he first took up a camera and goes on to highlight the vast body of important work that Lee produced from 1947 through 1977. This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fugV-Ukdt7c An illustrated discussion with Jim Bones and Lonn Taylor in conjunction with the show Russell Lee Photographs at the Museum of the Big Bend, Sul Ross State University, Alpine, Texas, February 19, 2015.
Kurt Lange and the Art of Bootmaking
February 10 – March 29, 2015
In 1939 Russell Lee traveled to Alpine, Texas, where he photographed the art of bootmaking at Kurt Lange's Bootshop. Lange a native of Dresden, Germany, was born on February 29, 1888. He immigrated to America and arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1905. After working with H.J. "Joe" Justin in Nocona, Texas, and owning a shop in Ozona, he moved to and opened a bootshop in Alpine in 1911, which he operated until 1959. This exhibit includes the story of Lange and photographs of his men building a pair of boots.

Treasures from the Frederic Remington Art Museum
An exhibit of art from the Frederic Remington Art Museum, Ogdensburg, New York
Exhibit Dates: September 24 – December 8, 2013
The Museum of the Big Bend brought "Treasures from The Frederic Remington Art Museum" to West Texas. Frederic Remington is considered the most influential and important artist to portray the American West. Works from the Remington Museum rarely leave their home in Ogdensburg, New York.
This historic exhibit displayed a large number of Remington's best known works from September 20th through December 8th. The iconic bronze, The Broncho Buster, and the never-before toured painting, The Charge of the Rough Riders, were but two of the pieces in the exhibit. Brought to the museum through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mallory and The Holland Hotel, the exhibit contained more than twenty-two works that explored the diversity of the media and styles that Remington used in his pursuit of creating fine art while chronicling the West.
Brought together for the very first time was the nation's leading Remington scholars presenting new scholarship and research during the course of the weekend. Presenters included Mr. Peter Hassrick, Dr. Ron Tyler, Dr. B. Byron Price and Mr. Michael Duty.

Surfing Blogs By Women With Migraines — by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at BlogHer)
Do you get migraines?
I had my first migraine when I was pregnant with my daughter, and since then I have had them off and on. I can go weeks (sometimes months) without having one, but when I do get a migraine, it feels like I will never get rid of it. When I take medicine for a migraine, it sometimes helps, but never gets rid of the migraine completely. And, it seems like once I get a migraine, I go through a period of time where I finally get rid of it, but a day or two later I get another. This cycle can go on for weeks, before finally stopping.
I've recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and told that there may be a connection between Fibromyalgia and migraines. My doctor suggested that a begin to take a medication to prevent the onset of a migraine. I was surprised to find out that the medication he recommended was an anti-convulsive (used for seizure disorders). These medications have many troubling (possible) side-effects, so I'm not sure if I'm actually going to try it.
To help me in my decision, I thought I would check out some blogs by other women, who suffer with migraines.
Somebody Heal Me
On anti-convulsive medication to treat migraines…
A review of controlled studies published in the June 2008 edition of the journal Cephalalagia supports the notion that anti-convulsants Depakote and Topamax are much more effective than placebo in preventing migraine attacks. The study also indicates that other anti-convulsants sometimes used for migraine prevention are no more effective than placebo.
Topamax and others get FDA warning.
The FDA is preparing to put warning labels on epilepsy drugs, including Topiramate (marketed as Topamax), Valproate (marketed as Depakote, Depakote ER, Depakene, Depacon), Pregabalin (marketed as Lyrica), and Zonisamide (marketed as Zonegran) that will notify users about the increased risk for suicidal behavior. Sales of the affected drugs, widely used for nonepilepsy problems such as migraines, topped $8 billion last year.
From the migraine girl — a great post addressing Migraines and Vacations (a blog carnival)…
You'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't enjoy taking vacations, but in our Migraine & headache community, it's easy to come across many folks who see the health threats that accompany any trip out of town. Luckily for all of you reading this, we have a really helpful batch of blogs to sift through, all of which will increase your chance of having a happy, healthy vacation despite your headache disease. Some people have a very personal take on the situation, describing specific issues they've had preparing for and embarking upon vacations. Others give us generalized lists of things to pack and/or what to be aware of as you travel to maintain a pain-free brain. Whether or not you have a trip coming up, I believe these writers' tips and insights will benefit you.
I found this video on migraines at My Life With Migraine…
Deborah at Weathering Migraine Storms
I have Migraine Disease – It has ripped years from my life, life with my husband and me together, from my kids lives. It's been very disabling for me. But that's not ALL there is to me. I am a Mom, and a wacky, fun kind of Mom. I like to play with my kids, have fun with them – sometimes at their expense. What good Mother doesn't. I'm trying hard to live with a horrid, painful disease; and have fun while doing so. And I'm learning, probably too much about it. But along the way, I'm meeting very interesting friends. I hope you do, too. I wish you pain-free days! And happy ones as well.Debbie at Down the Rabbit HoleI have had chronic daily migraines for the past 7 years. They are a part of my life, but I don't want a migraine to define me. That's why my blog is about more than migraines. My hobbies are gardening, rubberstamping, scrapbooking and knitting, not necessarily in that order.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about taking the medication used to prevent a migraine. Any advise would be welcome.
Do you suffer with migraines? Have you considered taking medication to prevent the onset of a migraine? Have you heard of a connection between Fibromyalgia and migraines?

A multimeter is an essential tool in the arsenal of any homeowner or professional repairs person. With a good multimeter, you can accurately measure current, voltage, and resistance, among other things. It can also be utilized to perform a variety of troubleshooting tasks on household objects and vehicles. Owing to the nature of multimeters, you don't want to purchase one without doing a bit of research first. If you don't know what brands you should be gravitating towards and which ones you should be avoiding, you could end up damaging your home, vehicle, or even yourself with a faulty device.
Fluke is one of the leading manufacturers of multimeters in the world and is the kind of brand which you should be buying from whether you are a seasoned electrical expert or a multimeter newbie. Its multimeters are considered by many in the know to be the best of the best, offering reliable and timely measurements and a wide array of other convenient features. While the vast majority of Fluke multimeters will serve you well, in this article we're going to be looking at one model specifically: the Fluke 116.
The 411 on the 116
The Fluke 116 is a high-performance multimeter which was primarily designed for HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) use. It is the perfect tool for those who deal with HVAC issues in their professional life as it provides reliable digital measurements in no time at all. It has received extremely favorable reviews from multimeter experts in digital and physical publications, and has earned an average Amazon rating of five stars. Fluke has since realized the 117, which is obviously a must if you're one of those people who has to have the absolute latest generation of everything. However, the 116 will meet and likely even exceed all of your needs. It offers many of the most crucial features of the Fluke 117 for a fraction of the price.
Among the many features which have made the Fluke 116 so popular with the multimeter using professionals of the world are:
• Built in thermometer, perfect for HVAC related tasks.
• Ability to read resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance and more.
• Microamps to ensure accurate and trustworthy testing of flame sensors.
• Low input impedance in order to prevent the inaccurate readings often caused by ghost voltage.
• CAT III 600 V Safety Rating
There are many, many positive things to say about the Fluke 116 multimeter. So many, in fact, that we couldn't conceivably fit them all in without this article extending beyond several thousand words. We're going to take a look at some of the most notable advantages of the 116, and those who wish to know more can research the lesser advantages in their own time.
Anybody who works with tools will tell you how annoying it can be to have to lug around a heavy toolset everywhere you go. Rather than an abundance of tools, a weighty toolbox is usually the result of a few bulky pieces of equipment giving the other pieces a bad name. A heavy multimeter is a particularly inconvenient inconvenience as it is generally used a couple of times a day. The Fluke 116, however, is a compact and lightweight multimeter which can be handled with ease for long periods of time. Despite its smaller size compared to some other multimeters, it does not lose anything in quality or performance and can be relied upon in most any circumstance.
If you work as an electrician or an engineer or pretty much any career which requires you to use a multimeter on a regular basis, you are almost certain to find yourself working in the dark on occasion. Working in a dimly lit area can be daunting for even the most experienced worker as it increases the chance of error, and error could result in lasting damage to your reputation.. The design team over at Fluke seem to be aware of the complications associated with working in the dark and have fitted the 116 with a powerful LED backlight. The large white backlight will illuminate dimly lit areas, allowing you to work in comfort and with confidence regardless of the location or time of day.
There are a lot of inexpensive multimeters on the market today, but many of them are prone to damage and may cease to work after a year or two of heavy use. If you want to save yourself some money in the long run, it's a good idea to go with a more expensive multimeter that's certain to last you for years. The Fluke 116 is a good example of such a multimeter. While it may seems expensive at first, it will provide you with accurate readings for years, maybe even decades, before it starts to give in to age. It is designed to withstand the knocks, drops, and bangs which are inevitably going to occur along the way. Fluke even offers a three-year warranty with this device.
There really aren't a whole lot of negative things you can say about the Fluke 116. Sure, it might not be absolutely perfect for some people, but it's a solid multimeter for those in the HVAC business. However, in the interest of fairness, let's a take a look at some of the issues a displeased customer might have.
No 10 Amp Input
While it isn't a major issue, multimeter purists might have a problem with the fact the Fluke 116 does not come with a 10 Amp Input. 10 Amp Inputs are certainly convenient and it could be a challenge to adapt, considering a lot of other multimeters have one, but it is not the end of the world. The Fluke 116 does, however, offer microamps for the testing of flame sensors.
I touched on this a couple of paragraphs ago. Though this isn't the most expensive multimeter on the market, it is by no means the cheapest, and generally sells for above $100. Nobody likes having to spend a whole lot of money on anything, so it's understandable if you find the price of this multimeter to be a little bit daunting. Yes, there are many less expensive multimeters out there, but a great deal of them will not offer the features or level of accuracy which you can expect from a product like this. That being said, there are some cheap devices which will give you everything you need – or at least most of what you need. However, finding such a multimeter could become a matter of trial and error, and you could end up spending hundreds on subpar multimeters before finding a high quality though inexpensive option.
The Fluke 116 is definitely one of the most impressive multimeters on the market and is ideal for professionals who need a multimeter which they can rely on a daily, maybe even hourly, basis. It's an awesome little tool which will give you accurate readings and perform highly for years to come. You could do much, much worse.

I'm really glad that you guys loved yesterday's post on all of my really awkward and bad dating stories. I kept remembering more, so I might have to start a draft for part 2 of really awkward date stories. Who doesn't love a good cringe every now and then? It also makes us feel better about ourselves knowing that someone out there had a far more horrible date than you did. I didn't have any bad dates this week, but I have eaten some really good food, thanks to the accountability of Jenn's What I Ate Wednesday.
Last week when I said that I like eating lunch/dinners for breakfast, some of you were all, "that is so weird!" I get that a lot, but it's usually about my personality, but then I started missing real breakfast foods and decided it was time to bring back one of my favorites. Dippy eggs with a sweet potato hash that was loaded with brown rice and 1 sliced up roasted apple chicken sausage. I love that this meal has a healthy combo of carbs, protein and fat, which means this breakfast keeps me happy and full for quite some time.
I'm on an egg kick this week. Sometimes I won't crave them for weeks, and then randomly I just want eggs at every meal. On Sunday's long run, I kept dreaming about what I was going to reward myself with for fuel post- 6 miles. I had a huge craving for an egg & cheese sandwich on an english muffin, but because I only had a Joseph's tortilla wrap, an egg & cheese wrap it was!
I was actually sort of bummed when it turned out to be a dippy egg. I prefer a combo of hard/dippy, so the yolk isn't completely cooked, but it's not dippy either. Oh well, it was still a delicious and healthy way to fuel my body!
I'm bringing a little excitement into my life, and instead of pancakes, I dusted off the cobwebs on my waffle stick maker, and made waffle sticks instead. 6 waffle sticks are better than 4 pancakes. I do still prefer the fluffy and sticky texture of the pancakes, but sometimes quantity wins.{{ I use Kodiak Cake protein pancake mix — Target — $4.99 }}
After having a wide assortment of teas to choose from at Lindsay's over the weekend, I ended up grabbing two flavors of Celestial Seasonings tea at Target. The Gingerbread Spice I knew would either be a hit or a big big big miss. Gingerbread is either too much or just perfect for me. I have a Yankee Candle in this scent that always gives me a headache, but gingerbread cookies I can devour.
This tea was way too strong for me, but because I didn't want to put it to waste, I decided to steep the tea, and use 1/2 cup of the tea water for the water that I needed for my waffle sticks/pancakes. It wasn't too overpowering, but it gave it a unique flavor that I really like. So just remember, if you have a tea that you're not too found of, you can always use it in recipes. Get creative! 🙂
One of my Dad's clients is Cedars, a company that makes really great hommus (I always spelled it hummus, wth!), taboule salad, and other great dips. My Dad came home last week with about 10 coupons for free items, so we are loving on their products right now. I brought the roasted red pepper hommus to work with me along with celery sticks to dip into the hommos. I haven't enjoyed hommus in close to a year, and I forgot how good it is! I'm really excited to use the coupons to try other products of theirs that I typically would not try.Still loving almost-daily gluten free rice cakes with all of the peanut butter on top & Quest bars for an evening snack.
What is your favorite breakfast?
What is the one breakfast you indulge in that you wish were healthy?
Mine is fluffy pancakes with about 2 cups of chocolate chips, drenched in maple syrup.

1st Kalman Lecture of the SFB: Large Graph Limits of Learning Algorithms
Andrew Stuart (California Institute of Technology, USA)
Andrew Stuart (California Institute of Technology, USA)
Many problems in machine learning require the classification of high dimensional data. One methodology to approach such problems is to construct a graph whose vertices are identified with data points, with edges weighted according to some measure of affinity between the data points. Algorithms such as spectral clustering, probit classification and the Bayesian level set method can all be applied in this setting. The goal of the talk is to describe these algorithms for classification, and analyze them in the limit of large data sets. Doing so leads to interesting problems in the calculus of variations, in stochastic partial differential equations and in Monte Carlo Markov Chain, all of which will be highlighted in the talk. These limiting problems give insight into the structure of the classification problem, and algorithms for it.

Open That Bottle Night
Five Wines, One Selection
What special bottle to open for OTBN 9? We have five cherished contenders – a Brut, Pinot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo and Burgundy – and will let you choose which one we uncork.
Like just about everybody else, we hoard precious bottles for a special occasion that never comes. And, like just about everybody else, we bought many of our bottles during trips to wineries. Our Open That Bottle Night situation is probably even more extreme than most, though, for a couple of reasons. First, we've visited hundreds of wineries in many parts of the world over a period of more than 30 years and always buy far too much wine. And second, we have even fewer opportunities to drink our special bottles because we're busy conducting formal tastings for our column every night (and, yes, we understand that this is...

The Bacon Made Me Do It
Posted by darren
I should be working. Should be.
Every once in a while the Internet throws me a curve ball that completely derails my ability to concentrate. Today was no exception.
What emotions result from even reading the word? For me, bacon is something truly epic. It's like if Lethal Weapon replaced plot with huge explosions for five hours straight.
Flying for Dummies: Part III
Posted by darren
To say I have bad luck when it comes to traveling would be an understatement.
More accurately, when I step onto an airplane, the moons align in some sort of event horizon for which I receive the blunt of some mystical, evil aggression. I would roughly compare my experiences to Rosie O'Donnell sitting on Verne Troyer's face.
That is, to say, somewhat uncomfortable. Scratch that, very uncomfortable.
New Year's Revolutions
Posted by morgan
Unlike Darren, I'm a New Year's resolution pessimist. I think creating a list of things I could improve is setting myself up for failure. But I've been coerced into improving myself by forces outside my control.
For example, I was supposed to finish this column before New Year's (2005, not 2009). Nu uh, not happening. Call it the ultimate experiment in procrastination.
2009: A Resolution Worth Forgetting
Posted by darren
Back when Imbalanced had 5+ writers contributing content on a fairly consistent basis, we held a tradition of writing our Christmas lists and New Years Resolutions for the world to see and ridicule.
Morgan solidly ruined that ritual by leaving up his Christmas list for four years in a row, never writing another column again. As far as slacking goes, that's dedication.
With that in mind, it's time to bring back the ritual from the archives. New Years is right around the corner, and I feel like at this point in my life I need to better myself in goal setting anyway. Without further adieu, here's my New Years Resolutions for 2009.
A Star Wars Christmas Special!

Hekate -Liminal Rites is an historically sourced reference on the Goddess Hekate.
It includes all her associations, animals, metals, other Goddesses and Gods and everything that has been associated with her throughout the centuries.
I especially liked the historical literature quotes, and the clear explanations as to what they mean in relation to Hekate.
Not just an interesting read, but also a valuable book of reference.
I admire the research that has gone into this work.
If you are drawn to, or work regularly with Hekate, you need this book.

| 28 Nov 2017 | A medical researcher has been found dead after reporting a "breakthrough" discovery in the cure for cancer. 40-year-old Dr. Miguel Crespo's body was found in the bathroom of the Weill Cornell Medical Center on the Upper East Side in New York where he worked after going missing for several hours. Police investigators say they are still trying to piece together how the young doctor had died but say that he most likely committed suicide [Yeah, right!] by taking a drug overdose after they found vomit next to his body in the 8th-floor bathroom and said he had been "foaming at the mouth."

With ongoing drought, the American West may be entering a period when it will see dust storms on a scale to dwarf the 1930s Dust Bowl era, researchers say.
As evidence they point to the giant dust storms known as haboobs that hit Arizona last summer, some more than a mile high and 100 miles wide, that knocked out electricity, created traffic jams and grounded airplanes.
With Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and other states experiencing drought conditions, researchers worry this might just be the start of a trend, an article in EARTH magazine reports.
The problem, researchers said, is that rising temperatures will contribute directly and indirectly to there being more dust in the air.
Persistent droughts, increasingly violent and variable weather patterns, and urban and suburban development will compound the problem, they said.
Over the next couple of decades, the American West could transition to another possibly long-duration Dust Bowl environment, they said.

Maybe running for my life during a firefight with a squad of Corps soldiers isn't the best time to be having second thoughts about my occupation, but I have to ask myself, why the hell did I become an arms smuggler? I could have been an engineer!
David vaults over a discarded tool caddy like a champion hurdler and I follow on his heels, clipping one foot on a drill and pinwheeling my arms to keep my balance without missing a step. This is a race where the loser dies.
Aly is a fugitive arms smuggler who thinks she understands her place in the criminal underworld she calls home — and which she finds, generally, a more ethical environment than the Admin-controlled mainstream society. Then her supposed colleagues abandon her and her brother when a mission goes wrong, and she starts to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty.
I really enjoyed this introduction to the Spectras Arise series. Aly is something of an antihero, with a lot of blood on her hands, but the first-person narrative makes clear that her heart is in the right place. Early in the story, Aly is separated from David, and her unswerving devotion to rescuing her brother — regardless of the odds against them — is the one constant in her shifting world.
To achieve this she's quickly forced to throw her hand in with Vitruzzi and her crew, a band of mercenaries who abducted-slash-rescued her. This is only one example of the moral ambiguity which colours the narrative in varying shades of grey. Aly is a killer and a thief, but she cares. Vitruzzi is another freelance criminal, but has earned the loyalty of her crew in a manner that implies some kind of integrity. The Admin is generally vilified, but nevertheless maintains a kind of stability that non-citizen settlements can only dream of. If you enjoy a story where almost everyone has a troubled past or a troubling motive, this book will certainly appeal: there are no innocents (certainly not in the narrative, and seemingly not in the whole universe), and I can only point to one out-and-out bad guy who seems to delight in cruelty.
But really, ethical questions aside, this book is about the fight scenes. The gun-toting, hard-hitting action starts on the first page, and it barely slows for a moment as Aly and her new not-quite-allies cross the galaxy, hunting for a mysterious secret base in an unknown location. Some of the characters' motivations didn't quite gel for me (in particular, the Admin seems to be evil-because-it's-Evil), but the pace and urgency and realism of the action kept me turning the pages at the expense of sleep. And really, that's all you need.

Advice and Updates
Roofing, Siding and Exterior Renovation News and Advice from Tony William
Winter Roof Replacment
When your roof is covered in snow, thoughts of replacing your Calgary roof are probably not high on your mind, however, winter is a great time to expose the weaknesses of your roof. Winter puts a lot of stress on your roof, so if you start to notice signs of damage, it's a good idea to get it inspected and repaired before more big snow falls.
Can you Replace Your Roof in Winter?
At Tony William, we work all winter long, so yes, you can replace your roof in winter. Metal roofing, in particular, can be installed in almost all weather conditions and will not be affected
by temperature. Laminated architectural shingles need warmer weather, but fortunately we live in Calgary. No matter how cold it is today, warmer
weather isn't too far away.
Does your Roof Need Replacing?
If your roof is leaking or has visible damage such as warping shingles, cracked shake or missing roofing materials, then it's best to have your roof repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Waiting until spring or summer to fix your roof problems could lead to water leaks, structural damage and much more expensive repairs if not remedied.
With Calgary's fluctuating temperatures, the constant freezing and melting makes roofing materials expand and contract. This can lead to a host of issues like:
- warping and cracking shingles
- ice dams (water freezing and expanding under roofing materials)
- frozen gutters (potentially leading to gutters pulling away from fascia)
- leaks in your roof's penetration seals
Keep a lookout for visible signs of damage when snow and ice have melted from your roof. It is best to fix problem areas as soon as possible.
Advantages of Replacing Your Roof in Winter
Winter can be a good time to replace your roof because roofing issues are often highlighted with the snow and ice. Here are some signs of roof problems:
- Icicles hanging from gutters are an indication that you have drainage issues that should be cleared or fixed
- Ice dams are often a result of attic ventilation problems
- Interior water spots or stains are clear signs of a leak
- Pooling water or snow may show sunken areas of your roof
You may not notice problems with your roof in the dry months of summer, so take advantage of the melting snow to gauge the integrity of your roof. Don't be afraid to get an expert opinion. Call us at Tony William and we'll be happy to answer all your roofing questions and provide a no-obligation roof quote.
Disadvantages of Roofing in Winter
Low temperatures are the biggest enemy of roofing companies. It's hard to work on extremely cold days and wind, snow and ice can make roofing dangerous. At Tony William, we don't put our workers at risk, so we'll wait until better weather, which in Calgary is usually only a few days away.
Many roofing materials can get brittle and shouldn't be installed at colder temperatures. Also, The adhesive strip on asphalt shingles needs warmer weather to properly seal.
Metal roofing doesn't have any of these issues and can installed in almost any weather condition. That is precisely what makes metal the most durable of all roofing materials.
Want Professional Advice about your Roof?
If you have any questions about your roofing or siding, give us a call at 403-454-1366. We'll be happy to answer all your questions and come out to inspect your roof. We are working all winter long so don't hesitate to contact us.

Kate Middleton debuted with her new short haircut when she went to Wimbledon on Monday.She has been in the spotlight with long, shiny, brunette waves, but she used to pull back occasionally, and that has become her signature. But now it seems like Duchess of Cambridge is finally all set for her new look. She attendant Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London this week, she debuted a new short hair length lob styled in smooth loose waves. For that event, she paired her new haircut with a summer polka dress. So are you excited to take a look at her?
She visited Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London this week with her new hairstyle.
She is a kind of simple person and an unlikely style icon. Unlike her mother-in-law, the late Princess Diana, she chooses to wear simple and appropriate dresses and accessories. Take a look at her beautiful haircut, she is looking stunning.
The cut looked fresh, modern, and exciting for summer.
