It's in the Bag! Chip Bag Recycling Initiative Launches in Hamilton
Frito-Lay, TerraCycle and Residents to Recycle at Least Ten Percent of Chip Bags Consumed
In participation with Frito-Lay and Trenton-based TerraCycle, Hamilton Township residents and businesses are taking a stand against the millions of snack bags that are dumped into landfills across the country each year. Hamilton is the nationwide pilot location for Frito-Lay's "Chip In for Change," a program aimed at reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills.
TerraCycle is the world's leader in the collection of non-recyclable waste and currently collects .05 percent of Frito-Lay waste across the country through its Brigade, or collection, programs. While this keeps millions of chip bags out of local landfills each year, Frito-Lay and TerraCycle wanted to increase the amount collected to at least ten percent. Hamilton was chosen as the pilot location due to its proximity to TerraCycle and the fact it already has locations sending non-recyclable packaging to TerraCycle.
To achieve ten percent collections during the length of the trial, which ends starts July 11 and October 31, Hamilton Township will need to collect 114,930 chip bags (38,310 per month). Collection sites will be set up in firehouses, police buildings, schools and other township buildings across the community so it will be easy for anyone to get involved. For every 50,000 chip bags collected, $250 will be donated to a local charity or non-profit such as the police or fire departments and library system. Hamilton residents who already participate in the Chip Bag Brigade with TerraCycle will continue to earn 2 points per bag for their charity.
"We set ten percent as our minimum goal although we think we can get to at least 30 percent of chip bags diverted from landfill," said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle's CEO. "Hamilton is the perfect partner for this Chip In for Change initiative with and we are really excited about this challenge."
If the township achieves the increased collection rate, Frito-Lay is hoping to replicate the program on a regional or national scale. Learn more about TerraCycle's free recycling programs or sign up today at www.terracycle.com

The Cricklewood walk-in health centre has been given a further one year reprieve from closure after Barnet's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) agreed to extend its contract until 31 March 2017. The health centre has been facing closure for a year due to financial pressures on the CCG who were facing a budget deficit of £10 million, but the CCG has now withdrawn plans to consult on the closure according to a report due to be discussed at the Health Overview & Scrutiny Committee (HOSC) on Monday 8 February.
The health centre has a GP surgery serving 1,200 residents and a walk-in facility that is open 8.00am-8.00pm and receives 20,000 visits a year. Last year 57% of patients surveyed said they used the Cricklewood walk-in centre because they couldn't get an appointment with their GP.
Labour councillors have been campaigning against the threatened closure over concerns that it would result in additional pressure on A&E departments in the borough. Representatives of Barndoc – the face-to-face out of hours GP service – also said that most patients would end up going to A&E as it was so difficult to get GP appointments.
The HOSC report agrees with the case put forward by local GPs, patients and Labour councillors that the walk-in centre meets a vital need for accessible and out of hours treatment. It states that "…there are a number of changes in the local and national landscape which impact on the current provision of primary and unscheduled care in Barnet. These include the changing needs of an ageing population, rising demand from a number of regeneration developments in Barnet, changing expectations of patients as a result of 24/7 culture and 4-hour wait standards not being consistently met in local A&Es."
Labour's Health Spokesperson, Cllr Phil Cohen said: "We are pleased that the CCG have decided not to go ahead with their plan to close the Cricklewood health centre, but we are concerned about the long-term future of the centre as there are no guarantees beyond March 2017.
"Demand for GP services and pressure on A&E is only going to increase over that time, so we will be seeking a firmer commitment to fund this health centre going forward."

Transcript as follows:
Hello, I'm Tom Cotton, Senator-elect from Arkansas. I want to wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving holiday. For nearly as long as we've been a people, Americans have set aside a day for public thanksgiving for our many blessings.
Many trace our modern Thanksgiving back to the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Despite the hardships of the coming New England winter, the unforgiving terrain and climate, and the dangers of settling a new land, these Pilgrims celebrated a feast to thank God for his provision and protection.
In the earliest days of our new and untested government, President Washington established a day of Thanksgiving for Americans to, in his words, acknowledge 'with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.'
In the depths of the suffering and deprivation of the Civil War, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a single day for a nationwide Thanksgiving, to help unify a deeply divided nation.
And just days after the shock of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed a congressional resolution establishing the fourth Thursday of November as our national day of Thanksgiving, a practice which continues today.
A constant among these Thanksgivings and the one we celebrate today is gratitude for the blessings of a beneficent and loving Lord no matter the adversity of the times. Today, we as nation no doubt face many challenges – too many of our fellow citizens out of work, too many families struggling to make ends meet, too many enemies plotting to do us harm. But we have faced graver challenges and not simply survived, but thrived.

We just wrapped up a creative session for a local Austin Author, Jennifer Hritz (website), to produce media for her upcoming novel, "The Crossing". The experience was a bit surreal on a day when Austin set an 84 year old record for cold weather in May. This fit our purposes though because the action in the novel is set on a cool October day. The other surreal aspect is photographing characters from someone else's head. Usually I am the one writing backstories on the characters in our sets, but not today. Jennifer told me that the characters for this novel had lived in her head for the last twenty years. No pressure in presenting them as she saw them! Austin and I were a bit nervous about that part but we kept our professional cool and made these photos happen.
For the curious, we tried out the new VSCO film pack #2 to provide an emulated emulsion that replicated the type of camera and film that would have been available to the characters. First time using VSCO after hearing about them for the past year. Nice setup and fits my workflow quite nicely. Based on limited use so far, I would already recommend this product to use for the right type of photos.
And yes, I realize these photo's also could be used for a smoking campaign. Just part of the detail that makes up the characters. Read the books, don't start smoking. That is your public service announcement for today.

Am I seriously the only one who one day thought really long and hard about the question, "How the fu*k did I end up here?"
Of course not…we've all had them. Single Ladies, Coupled Ladies, Married Ladies, Divorced Ladies….everyone gets these thoughts from time to time and I seemed to be no different.
I realized I had spent my life dreaming…always dreaming but never doing.
Why? I hid behind the oh so fun excuses that I feel like we as a society consistently put on ourselves day in and day out for whatever reason that may be:
"I'm not good enough," "I don't have enough time" "No one will like what I make/have to offer/say" "It will never happen to me"
WRONG. All of those words are just that, words. Nothing in any of those statements is true…but of course add in some hormones, life responsibilities and stress and those things become real.
But after getting into a bad car wreck with my daughter, as I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for the tow truck to take our car away I remember just thinking to myself quietly, "What if that was it? What if……"
And that what if stuck with me. It continued to stick with me as I went through recovery. Every day and every night, consistent thoughts of what I didn't do, what I want to do and what I can do continued to go through my head. Soon this hunger…this drive…these what ifs turned to…
I am.
And that switch…that slight change…it enlightened my soul to a new profound sense of well being that I realized there's no WAY I can go back into believing the false sentences of doubt that had plagued my female mind since as far as I can remember.
Now I get it, life is tough. Kids, Work, Bills, Debt, Relationships, Family, Stress, Debt, Bills, Bills Bills…I get ALL of that.
But I will tell you…that when your hunger for more becomes so centered and focused in your mind, you will find a way to push through the bull anyway necessary. You'll find a way to re-invent yourself…
A NU Self…..A Nu YOU. And that brought me to this blog. I am on a mission to reach out to the world and let them know all about the lovely woman behind this blog.
I'm a mother to an adorable 4 year old, who really, from her birth, started the seed of more that grew into my quest today. I am a sister and daughter to an amazing family that I am so thankful to have. I am a best friend to my slightly small circle in life that I cherish so hard – being a good friend is almost like being a family member, and I take that roll seriously. I am also the partner to an amazing man that I was lucky to find.
So if I, a small town chocolate gal with limited resources but all the dreams in the world can overcome those negative insecurities and break out to the best version of myself…well trust me, so can you.
I'm Shannon…on my way to push my designs, sewing techniques and love for everything musical out to the world and hopefully inspire you to do what you love in return.
Welcome to the Nu Me…I can't wait to meet the Nu You.

Assuming WhiteWave at $17. Dean still has 150 million shares of WWAV.
$2.94 billion worth from WWAV IPO means rest of dean is valued at 300 millon?

Good governance is rather like eating All Bran straight from the box – we all know it's supposed to be good for us, but it's never a particularly appetising prospect. That's particularly true when the 'rubber' of board accountability hits the 'road' of a chief executive's right to manage.
My experience, both as a chief executive and a charity trustee, is that when everything is going well and the figures look good, no-one really thinks about good governance. Stuff just happens and the CEO is left to get on with it. No-one worries about accountabilities. Ironically, I can find myself hankering after those times even though I know that's not how things are supposed to be run. To continue the metaphor, it's a bit like pigging out on Rocky Road ice-cream in front of the TV – we know it's not good for us, but it makes us feel better.

After years of effort, the Stafford Air & Space Museum is pleased to announce the acquisition of a revolutionary cruise missile that is closely tied to the career of Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford.
Called "Tacit Rainbow," this small, jet powered unmanned "mini" drone was conceived and developed by General Stafford when he served as the Air Force's Deputy Chief of Staff for Research, Development and Acquisition at the Pentagon in the late 1970's.
The project was developed using experience gained with anti-radar missiles in Vietnam that could zero in on radar sites when they were operating, but would often malfunction if the radar was turned off after the missile was launched.
To solve this problem, General Stafford pushed the development of this "smart" weapon that had a variety of unique qualities. It was ingeniously designed to be small enough to be carried by bombers and fighter aircraft to within striking distance of a potential target. When launched, the drone's wings and horizontal tail would unfold out of the fuselage, and its small 70-lb thrust jet engine would fire up. An onboard computer was pre-programmed to steer the craft to a designated target area where it would loiter, waiting for an enemy radar site to be turned on. As soon as a radar signal was detected, it would immediately attack the radar installation. If the radar was turned off to avoid detection, the "Tacit Rainbow" would return to orbit the site and wait for the radar to be turned back on. It would continue to do this until the radar installation was either destroyed, or until it ran out of fuel.
Surviving examples of the "Tacit Rainbow" are extremely rare, with less than five still known to exist. Working closely with the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, Texas – one of the locations of the aircraft – the Stafford Air & Space Museum was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial artifact trade. The Dallas museum received two space artifacts they needed, and we were able to bring another example of General Stafford's many accomplishments back to the museum named for him!
The "Tacit Rainbow" should be on public display by the end of the summer!

Stay-at-home mom of three who mixes Insanity with running. Love running 5k's but my dream is a 13.1.
I have been involved in being physically fit since 1995 doing various forms of programs from: walking, biking, aerobics, step-aerobics, and weight training. To my current programs of Insanity and running.
I prefer the mix of Insanity and running because Insanity uses my own body weight versus lifting weights, I bulk up really fast and with running that is not a good combination. Running is added in the mix because I have never felt so good after a work-out. You truly do get 'the runner's high'.
So that is alittle about me and my obsessions ~ Insanity & Running.
Other things I love: my family, pets and traveling.

On December 17, I'll be giving a presentation at the second Tel-Aviv Atlassian User-Group on the topic of continuous integration with Node.js. Node's a great language for web-applications that deal with a lot of I/O (like API-driven stuff) and earlier in the year I wrote some glue to Mocha and Atlassian Bamboo to let the latter collect test reports from the former.
Since there is only a 20-minute presentation time, I'll be skimming over a lot, but there are hints to Chef, Vagrant and CD goodness inside, too, so you can actually set up the same platform I'm presenting on to follow along with from home.

The Evaluation Practice Exchange (EPE) provided a unique forum for UNEG members to get together face-to-face, to share and exchange experience, best practices and lessons and knowledge in evaluation, and to develop their expertise on specific subjects related to evaluation approaches and methodologies.
Please click here to view EPE concept note
Please click here to download the Media Kit 2018 EvalWeek
The purpose of EPE is to:
a) Facilitate learning and exchange of experiences amongst UNEG members
b) Improve the credibility and utility of UN evaluations
c) Contribute to the advancement of the evaluation function in the UN system.
This year, in accordance with the results of the survey carried out by the UNEG secretariat following the 2017 Evaluation Week in Vienna, the focus of the EPE was on specific topics and issues encountered by evaluation professionals on a day-to-day basis. Indeed, it was felt by EPE participants that the sessions should focus on aspects with direct relevance to our work – in other words, the EPE should be about the bread and butter of evaluation officers. It should help us addressing some of the challenges we face as professional evaluators.
The EPE have three main themes, covering relevant aspects of the work of evaluation professionals. Under each of these themes, several topics will be discussed in separate sessions. These themes are:
1. Managing evaluations:
- Quality Assurance beyond the checklist: how can we ensure the reports are evidence-based?
- Following up on recommendations: what are the successful practices?
- As managers, we also make mistakes: let's share them and learn from them.
- How can we ensure a gender focused evaluation?
- The role of donors in evaluations: how should we involve them and how to manage expectations?
2. Evaluation principles:
- We ask others to demonstrate impact: how can we demonstrate the impact of our evaluations?
- Importance of Independence today?
- Cost of evaluations: how can we make efforts to rationalize the use of resources in evaluations? And what are the best practices for low-cost evaluations?
- Evaluation and hindsight: assessing past interventions against yesterday's standards or today's wisdom (e.g. in light of new knowledge on climate change, gender, etc.)
- Evaluations and evidence-based decision making in the Era post-truth
3. Evaluation methods:
- No baseline: how to measure impact?
- Making the best use of Theories of Change in Evaluations
- Country Programme Evaluations - methodological challenges
- ICT for data analysis in evaluations
- Evaluating Policy support

Mentoring Builds Kids' Futures
There are video games tinging and dinging and binging and bonging on this Tuesday evening in the Airtight Garage at Sony's Metreon center, and maybe it's all this banging energy that makes Kristina Williams want to try her hand at virtual bowling.
Maybe Kristina, a 9-year-old third-grader at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in the Portola District, figures this is her shot at beating Elissa Schwartz, 25, a mentor assigned to her through an innovative 8-year-old YMCA program called "Building Futures."
Schwartz and Kristina have come to this noisy pleasure palace on one of their weekly outings, which in the past have included trips to a swimming pool,
a mall and a McDonald's (Kristina's favorite: the Filet-O-Fish sandwich).
Building Futures matches adult volunteers with children ages 6-14 who have been referred to the program by middle schools, mental health workers and other programs.
The program intends to bolster the self-esteem of kids in dire situations, many of whom only receive attention when they've done something perceived as negative or wrong, according to Chip Rich, a licensed therapist and executive director of Urban Services YMCA, the organization overseeing the program.
"We want young people to have the experience of being seen for the things they do right," he says.
Which doesn't mean mentor-child interactions are without their frustrations.
This night, Kristina has trouble aiming the virtual bowling ball projected on a giant screen; it repeatedly drops off a clifflike gutter. She rolls her eyes.
She crosses her arms. She watches Schwartz topple virtual pins.
Ask her how the game is going, Kristina says, "Not good. She's scoring all the points." Ask her how that makes her feel, she says, "Bad."
Schwartz, a chipper woman with curly red hair and a sensitive air, suggests she and Kristina work as a team. They manipulate the controls together; soon they're scoring strikes.
That draws a smile from Kristina. A few minutes later, however, she says, "I'm bored."
Ice cream might be just the right thing, so the pair repairs to the nearby Mel's Diner. On the way, Kristina muses on the first time she and Schwartz met.
"I was happy I had a mentor," she says. "I never had a mentor before. This is my first."
Rich founded Building Futures in late 1992 in response to what he saw as a dearth of public funds supporting long-term counseling for children.
Potential volunteers are screened by a rigorous background check and undergo a 24-hour cumulative training as "paraprofessionals" with counseling skills.
The seven-class, five-week session uses a 200-page manual and trains volunteers in listening and communication skills, relationship building, developing problem-solving skills and building the self-esteem of the child. Volunteers commit from six months to a year to work with a charge.
The Bay Area-wide program debuted at the YMCA in San Mateo and spread to YMCAs in Marin and San Francisco. The program includes YMCA sites in Stonestown, the Tenderloin, Chinatown, the Mission and Bayview-Hunters Point.
The latter site sees a primarily African American population. That presents unique challenges for the training and matching of Building Futures volunteers,
Rich says.
Kids there may suffer from overcrowding, the strain of single-parent families, parental drug and/or alcohol use, poverty and exposure to violent criminal behavior and death. Many are afflicted with posttraumatic stress syndrome, the result of living with frequent gunfire outside their front doors.
"The issues facing young people in the Bayview are certainly different from the ones facing kids in Burlingame," Rich says. "We're working with a greater number of kids (in Bayview) right on the verge of tuning out society. It looks like the American dream doesn't fit for them at all."
Kristina lives in the Sunnydale housing complex in Visitacion Valley. She shares an apartment with her mom and six siblings.
One of her sisters also has a Building Futures mentor. A brother has a mentor through another program. Another brother is in the Youth Guidance Center, the juvenile jail.
Kristina says she likes sausage or sugary cereal for breakfast, listens to Britney Spears and watches "Facts of Life." Her favorite school subjects are math and art. She says wants to be an artist and a doctor when she grows up.
With her pink striped shirt, jeans, blue sneakers and hair pulled back from a cherubic face, she looks like any other kid happy to tuck into a gleaming silver bowl of chocolate ice cream at Mel's Diner.
But she exudes a downcast and mildly suspicious air. That's not surprising for a child from a neighborhood where even the most playful activities can have a sinister undercurrent.
"On hot days or cold days -- it doesn't matter -- kids take balloons and fill them with water and throw them at people," she says between bites. "It makes me angry. I went to tell my mom. Every time they throw them, I wind up getting hit."
Kristina's seemingly hard-edged street sense can give way to flashes of sometimes heartbreaking humor. When Schwartz compliments her, Kristina says, "I'm not special."
"Says who?" Schwartz asks.
"Well, if yourself says you're not special, yourself is just wrong," Schwartz says with a smile. "You should get up every morning and look in the mirror and say, 'I'm Kristina, and I'm special and . . .' "
"Elissa!" Kristina snaps with exasperation -- and a sly smile. "You're bugging me."
The next day, Schwartz says the pair has "a really good time together, and get on each other's nerves because she thinks I'm a dork. But we're buddies."
It is not unusual for children like Kristina to engage in "testing" behaviors with new mentors, Rich says. These can include sullenness, no-shows and even attempts to shock mentors by graphically describing gritty street behaviors.
"Being a volunteer at the beginning is not always a lot of warm, cuddly feelings," Rich says.
But the training emphasizes ways to cope with such behavior and stresses the importance of the child becoming invested in his or her mentor as the most important person outside the immediate family.
"Once that bond is there, you restore the natural tendency of kids to want to imitate role models," Rich says. "All kids' behavior is based on imitation. So who are they connected to that they're imitating? If they're connected to the gangster on the street, it's no surprise they're going to act like that."
Scwhartz is sitting at the head of a table in a small conference room at the Second Street offices of Scale 8, which provides global Internet infrastructure to various companies.
She's telling a handful of Scale 8 employees -- who are future Bayview YMCA Building Futures volunteers -- about her mentoring experiences. It is part of a training class led by Bayview YMCA Building Futures mentor coordinator Mozetta Jackson.
"I have a couple of goals with Kristina," Schwartz says. "I want to expose her to new things, show her what her potential is. I want to help her dream. And I want to deal with her eating issues -- when she's sad, she gets hungry."
Jackson steps in to underscore a mentor's primary role: "It's not to inflict your ideas on a child or a parent. It's just to raise opportunities and ask questions."
She also reminds the volunteers that a mentor is not "an ATM, a grandparent or a surrogate parent."
Jackson, 28, grew up in Oakland. When she was a child, her mother divorced her father, who was a drug dealer. She was 11 when her 17-year-old sister was beaten to death. Still, Jackson graduated with honors from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in African American studies. She says her past helped her fine-tune the Bayview Building Futures program.
"I revised the training manual, since it's in an urban environment." Then she laughs and says, "It's from my own experience."
YMCA officials say volunteers range in age from their late 20s to their 40s.
Women outnumber men 3 to 1, an imbalance the program is looking to redress.
"I can't overemphasize how important it is to have men out there, especially considering the number of single-parent families where the dad is absent," Rich says.
Folks volunteer for any number of reasons, including to balance unfulfilling jobs and because their quest for self-improvement includes serving the community.
Nick Vesser is a Scale 8 employee who moved to San Francisco from Cambridge,
Mass., in September. He lives in the Mission, where tensions have flared the past few years between dot-commers and longtime Mission residents.
"I am the person they talk about, moving in and raising rents," Vesser, 24, says, "so I want to have a more positive role."
Rich says the trainings include classes in which volunteers examine their own pasts in order to understand their future charges' situations. In many cases, he says, mentors wind up helping their charges succeed with something the mentor could never quite accomplish.
"It's that sense of being able to put to bed some of their issues by helping someone else," he says. "It's, 'I'm done with that -- that doesn't hurt so much. In healing it for someone else, I've healed it for myself.' "
Wendi Norris, the vice president of marketing at Scale 8 and a longtime mentor, says she had a child who'd spent her young life in foster homes; the young woman's father was in prison, her mother estranged. Last year, she graduated from high school and is a computer science and communications major at Long Beach State University.
"She's very wise," Norris says. "Sometimes I wondered who was mentoring whom."
Schwartz grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario; she says there were only two African Americans in her high school.
She moved to San Francisco 1 1/2 years ago after getting a degree in radio and television from the University of Oregon. She took a job in June at a popular sports broadcasting network, but says she quickly cast about for something to give her life meaning.
Now, at Mel's Diner, she attends to Kristina gently, sometimes teasing, sometimes asking serious questions.
They seem an unlikely pair on the surface: this pleasant Caucasian woman and this shy, sometimes suspicious African American girl. But the bond between them is undeniable.
Ask Kristina what it would be like if Schwartz wasn't in her life, and she says, "I just wouldn't have (a mentor)." Ask how that makes her feel, she says,
"Upset and sad. Because if I didn't have one, my sister would have had one and I didn't."
"The big picture is pretty bleak," Schwartz later says of Kristina's life. "But she's a good kid. She loves to go to school, she shares her toys with her sisters."
She pauses a moment, then adds, "She herself is a great kid."

text: I want to get a flash cart for my DS. How ever not really sure which to get . I've narrowed it down to either a supercard mini or a g6 lite. After reading the reviews it seems G6 plays pretty much everything , where as the supercard has problems with GBA games.How ever the supercard can potentially hold more games. So really just a couple questions about both. Supercard no RTC? , so games like pokemon will not work? or is there a patch for them like the gba ones. Battery in the supercard , is it rechargegable or will it need replacement in a few years?. DS games , how many don't work?. List at the top of supercard forum seems abit outdated. Also I've heard of problems with castlevania and others slowing down. Is this a prob with the card itself or just crappy SD cards being used causing it?. Also can I take saves to and from it like I can with my gba cart?. Last thing , will a supercard mini fit a DS lite. Not got one yet , but if I even do change it will still work right?. Just stick out of it abit. G6 , all DS games work on it , no problem?. Really not bothered about GBA games , as I have a EZFA for em , also not bothered about emulation or anything. Purely DS game usage. Thats it really , just looking for some advice from people with em. Supercard fine for just DS? , or newer G6?.

Misuse of state airplanes. State law bars any use of state planes other than for official business. Sanford, according to state documents, used a state plane to ferry family members and to attend political functions, possible violations of state law.
Using expensive airfares on foreign trips. State law requires the use of the most economical travel available. Sanford used more expensive airfare, according to state documents.
Failure to disclose private plane trips. The Associated Press reported Sanford accepted 35 rides on private planes that he did not disclose in his state ethics report, a possible violation of state law. Questions have since arisen about whether Sanford should have paid federal taxes on those plane trips.
Use of campaign funds. Sanford has refused to say publicly why he reimbursed himself more than $1,800 for expenses from his campaign account in the past 18 months. The Ethics Commission could review those expenses.

Daniel's home, and we've managed to slip into calling him Daniel and using the masculine pronoun with no difficulty at all. Tim is having his ups and downs in Tahoe but I'm hoping more up than down. I had to miss my Al-Anon meeting, which was not a Good Thing, The roads were icy, trucks were sliding around, and a tanker was stalled on a hill. No way I was going to try to pass it, no way to go around, so I turned around and came back.
At least we've got snow, though it's going to be in the 50's in a couple of days so no white Christmas. Which is just as well, since I have to go to the graveyard to light luminarias on the graves of all the dead ones … Jesus, no wonder I'm fighting depression.
But I digress …
(Just a small bah humbug – I watched the George C. Scott version of a Christmas Carol and felt as manipulated as I do when I watch a Hallmark movie. I doubt the Cratchits were any happier than the working poor today. Then again, I've always hated Charles Dickens except for a Christmas Carol, so now I can add that. Though I still love A Muppet Christmas Carol. And I bet Alastair Sim wouldn't have made me feel manipulated).
How are you guys doing? Going crazy? Fighting off the holiday blues? Done your shopping and cooking and sewing? Family arrived to the smell of brewing coffee?
Stop it, Krissie.
We'll go see Star Wars tomorrow night. And all will be well, all manner of things shall be well.
So enough about ol' Ebenezer here in Vermont. How's about you?
And a little quiz. One of those photos is from this morning, one from three years ago. Can you tell which?
Oh, I just heard that it's the Solstice! Okay, I'll celebrate the Solstice and short days! That I can be into.

Well after the first full workday after the backpacking trip to the North Fork of Big Pine Creek last weekend, I'm still sore, bruised, and itchy. Sore and bruised from the heavy pack; itchy from the relentless mosquitoes there.
We camped at the unimaginatively named 5th Lake. We saw First through Sixth Lakes, which had gorgeously greenish-blue colors thanks to glacial silt. And each of these lakes were backed by picturesque jagged 14,000ft peaks so signature Eastern Sierras.
I'm working on organizing the photos and composing the material to be put onto the website. Stay tuned...

First, my congratulations and condolences to
Why? Well, as secretary of state today you get to deal with
When Putin isn't available to stiff us,
So what's a secretary of state to do? I'd suggest trying something radically new: creating the conditions for diplomacy where they do not now exist by going around leaders and directly to the people. And I'd start with
Let's break all the rules.
Rather than negotiating with Iran's leaders in secret — which, so far, has produced nothing and allows the Iranian leaders to control the narrative and tell their people that they're suffering sanctions because of U.S. intransigence — why not negotiate with the Iranian people?
On Israel-Palestine, the secretary of state should publicly offer President
Why do this? Because there will be no Israeli-Palestinian breakthrough unless the silent majorities on both sides know they have a partner — that Palestinians have embraced two states for two peoples and that Israelis have embraced Palestinian statehood. Neither Prime Minister

The following is a guest post by Susan Combs, a pet health and safety expert. Enjoy!
Dogs can be wonderful companion for disabled children. For children with disabilities, dogs can help them grow physically and emotionally. Children who grow up with dogs have less risk of allergies and asthma; many also learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy.
Dogs also offer children and parents more freedom from each other. Children are more prone to approach and interact with another child who is playing with a puppy or dog. In this way, a dog can also make a bridge between a less socially outgoing child and other potential playmates. Kids and dogs alike benefit from each other's company, and they enjoy some pretty valuable benefits along the way.
For example, cuddle a puppy and everything seems to be perfect, you forget all the stress.
Similarly, for a child with a disability, spending time with a dog – either in a relaxed environment or in a therapy setting — can provide some relief from what at times may be a stressful situation.
How a Therapy Dog Can Help?
- A therapy dog is a dog that might be trained to provide affection and comfort to children in schools, nursing homes, schools, hospices, and to children with autism. Therapy dogs are usually not assistance or service dogs, but can be one or both with some organizations.
- Kids who are emotionally attached to their dog are better able to build relationships with other people.
- A dog can help ease separation anxiety in children when their parents aren't around.
- They can guide kids who are visually impaired, alert people who are hearing impaired to specific sounds, get help when a person has a seizure, as well as retrieve dropped items, open doors, and assist a child with balance.
- Some children with autism or other learning difficulties are better able to interact with dogs than people. Autistic children often rely on nonverbal cues to communicate, just as dogs do. And learning to first connect with a dog may even help an autistic child in his or her interactions with people.
- Dogs can help children with learning disabilities learn how to regulate stress and calm themselves, making them better equipped to overcome the challenges of their disorder.
- Playing and exercising with a dog can help a child with learning disorders stay alert and attentive throughout the day. It can also be a great antidote to stress and frustration caused by the learning disability.
- Each week, Becky Bishop, owner of Puppy Manners Family Dog School, drives her chocolate Labrador retriever Moose to Wood moor Elementary School in Bothell, where the pair works in a class for kids with special needs. They bring along a leash and a dog brush. "The kids with autism are very sensitive to touch," she says. They don't like to touch the dogs but they like to interact with them. Through the brushing, they really connect." Further, a child wishes to go with their dog.
- For kids with cerebral palsy, Moose provides an incentive to stretch. The therapist will take a child out of her wheelchair, and have the dog lie with her on the floor. Moose is a therapy dog, providing therapeutic support to people in a wide variety of ways. Uses for dogs in therapy are limited only by the imagination, says Laura Hardman, Animal Assisted Therapy provider and owner of Seattle-based Sirius Healing. "Dogs can be used to steady an individual when they're walking," or to support a person getting up from a seated position, she says. "Kids may pet or comb the dog to exercise an arm, or throw a ball for the dog. Giving verbal commands to the dog helps with speech."
- Before making a dog your kids' companion make sure it is trained properly.
The Journal of Pediatrics did a case study that showed kids who had a dog during the first year of their life had higher immune response, with 31% fewer respiratory tract infections than those without.
Maryellen Elcock, Ph.D.,( director of animal-assisted therapy services for the Delta Society, a national nonprofit organization that works to improve human health through service and therapy animals.) cites a 1996 study that revealed "the presence of a dog results in a significantly reduced number of hours of paid and family-provided assistance needed for the activities of daily living."
There are several examples that the dogs enable children to gain independence and confidence by being with them all the time:
- A child with a seizure disorder who never went out in public alone started to go out because she wasn't "alone" anymore.
- A child who walked with braces gained increased confidence to do things on her own when she had both the dog and the braces to help stabilize her.
- Taking a dog for a walk, or run are fun and rewarding ways to fit healthy daily exercise into your kid's schedule. Dog owners are far more likely to meet their daily exercise requirements—and exercising every day is great for the animal as well. It will deepen the connection between your kid and dog.
For instance, Hayleigh Elizabeth and Bitzy – Hayleigh Elizabeth was a sweet angel born with Down syndrome, who had some insurmountable health issues associated with that. She courageously fought for 18 months before passing away. Her dog, Bitzy, knew she was an incredibly special little girl and never left her side, from the moment they first met. While the photo quality isn't the best, the picture says more about their bond than words ever could.
Bitzy comforts Hayleigh Elizabeth.
Conclusion: Therapy and trained dogs help children who have low self-esteem are often more willing to interact with an animal than with a person because the animal is less intimidating and does not pass judgment. In all their activities, therapy animals provide unconditional acceptance to those they visit.

On June 17, 2011 our group of 2 paddlers embarked on a 5 day canoe expedition through portions of the Gull River Provincial Park in Northwestern Ontario. The trip saw us navigate 35 sets of rapids over a 75km stretch of road accessible Northern Ontario wilderness. We encountered one water fall and we were required to traverse only 2 of the 11 marked portages during our journey. This route offered us challenging whitewater, had few cleared campsites and many of the portages noted from our research were not immediately visible from shore.
Much of the route is excellent moose habitat, and we had the pleasure of coming within close proximity to 4 individuals. Black bear and other fur-bearing creatures are present in the area, and during our visit to the park, we encountered two different mothers and their first year cubs. We relied on the gifts of mother earth for our sustenance, and the Gull River provided us with plenty of walleye to eat.
As the Park Superintendent indicated to us, although the Gull River Provincial Park can be accessed by road, "this route should be treated as remote northern wilderness, and the appropriate skills and experience are recommended." Based on our trip through the park, we would concur with this assessment, and only experienced whitewater paddlers and those with extensive wilderness camping experience should attempt this route.
We departed the Thunder Bay dispatch point on Friday June 17, 2011 at approximately 8:00 am EST. We traveled approximately 225km north Thunder Bay via Highway 11/17 west to Highway 527 North to Highway 811 North. Due to time constraints and limited opportunity, we opted to shorten the traditional canoe route, by accessing the Gull River via a bridge crossing found on a single track, active and maintained logging road. It was noted by our contact with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources that our intended access was not an approved access point to the park, and upon turning left onto Kitchen Lake Road, we noted a sign indicating that vehicle access to the provincial park is prohibited.
The following key documents were developed through extensive research and consultation. They are a record of our experiences on the Gull River, at a time with unique water level, river and weather conditions. Use at your own risk.
Various sources of information about the Gull River Provincial Park
