Thats maybe a little simple, homosexuality in a species is a reaction to over population. At least there's a study of homosexuality in rodent populations increasing with population overcrowding. Lemmings I believe, were the subject. This was a paper a flat mate was reading some 20+ years ago, so Im just guessing. Anywhoo, the crux of the paper was that as population pressure on the enviroment increases incidents of homosexuality increase, this lowers birth rate, reduces population pressure and incidents of homosexuality decreases. In this way, the individual homosexual animal may not pass on its genes, but the genes of the species have a more favourable chance of propogating. No idea how worthy the paper was, only know it was part of my flat mates HND course, but I remember talking it over with him and others and its always stuck with me, in paticular it got me over the hump of understanding how evolution can and does work not just on the individual, but on groups.

I myself have no problem with the way nature is; sure, it's brutal, but it's also incredibly beautiful and most importantly, it works; it's trial and error, over the span of millennia. I would, however, have a huge problem with it, had it been designed. Because even though it works, it's so often not in the most efficient way, nor in the most benign way either. And if we are capable of seeing it as (sometimes unnecessarily) brutal, why would an all-loving creator allow it? And no, The Fall is not a good enough explanation.

Yeah, I do not think we are superior just because we're self-aware. Sure, we are different, but this consciousness was not "given" to us, it just happened; it wasn't planned, designed or what have you, but was just another amazing instance of evolution. One of the most important things to come out of self-awareness, one'd think, would actually be greater responsibility (and no, I'm not quoting Spiderman) and not the freedom to do as you fucking please...
However, I also don't like the other extreme - people saying "oh, animals are sooo much better than people" (plus, I have yet to meet a person who's told me this, who isn't a bit - or more - of a jerk). No they ain't and the same idea of "goodness" (or "badness") cannot be applied to a self-aware creature and one operating purely on instinct. Not to mention that this is a pretty arrogant thing to say, 'cause most people who say it, do not usually think they themselves are worse than animals... so they're kind of putting themselves above the rest of their species and are feeling superior not only to animals, but to their own kind...

That's a nice view, but a little Disneyesque.
At any given moment, thousands and thousands of animals are being chased and killed, eaten alive by predators or parasites, starving to death, dying of thirst, pecked to death or thrown out of the nest by siblings.

This is emotive language, sir.
This may sound like an odd request but I'm trying to write something (cos Ghost asked me too expand on something I said) that draws parallels between the small and the large.
So who are the physicists / chemists out there? I need your help.
I want to find the equivalent language of "predator" / "prey" / symbiosis", "consumer" / "producer" / "merger" / "acquisition" but at the atomic / molecular level e.g. "bonding".
I know some elements are more volatile (aggressiveness) than others but my knowledge of chemistry is 30 years old. I could do with some examples
Did that make sense?
Any suggestions?

I just had a problem with this part: "I don't think that the resistance to, and denial of, evolutionary theory is cognitive".
People's emotional reaction, to being confronted by an idea the goes against their core beliefs and what they have been taught, is just causing them to, basically, ignore the evidence, selectively, or just view the evidence in a way that allows them to come to whatever conclusion they want to come to. I just view it as emotion affecting cognition. Saying that the resistance isn't cognitive, I just saw as a weird, confusing way of putting it. I guess that's all. It's either/or, a lack of understanding on my part, or I just don't like the wording.
To your last quote, I think that people are considering the evidence; they are just considering it in a way, ignoring and denying, that allows them to come to the conclusion they already, or would be most willing, to accept. It would be too much of a generalization to say they aren't considering the evidence-- it might even be just wrong. If you ask people, specifically those denying it, about evolution, a lot of them would probably get the main idea, which, personally, I think is all you need. They might slip up when you ask them to explain further, but you would also find people accepting evolution, probably even myself, making some of the same mistakes, slip ups and misrepresentations of the theory, the more you go into the details, maybe just not as negatively and harshly. It might be fair to say they aren't reading Richard Dawkins or watching PBS, but a lot of people denying it, understand enough of the main idea to come to a legitimate conclusion, accepting evolution.
I would agree that people aren't attempting to be objective and take things seriously, but people, in general, aren't very rational, objective and don't really take things seriously. You would definitely be asking way too much, if you wanted to ask people to think for themselves and think about what is actually true, as opposed to allowing others to influence their thinking and believing what they want to believe. And that's for people, in general, not just theists and creationists.

RE: Resistance to evolution
Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees (1997), a book I finished reading a few months ago, explains why people reject human relatedness to chimps, as well as recognizing animal intelligence. Their views are influenced by biblical and Greek philosophical sources. The bible says that man was created from the dust of the earth. This is a source of pride for such people because, if true, it would mean they were special. Evolutionary theory, on the other hand, says that man is descended from lower primates who developed through the forces of natural selection over many millions of years. This would mean they were not special and were themselves animals. This offends Christians because they believe man is superior to the beasts of the earth. After all, the bible portrays man as having dominion over the animals. The ancient Greek philosophers developed the "Great Chain of Being" (a.k.a. the Ladder of Life), a hierarchical list that puts god at the top and minerals down at the bottom. Humans are listed as being a higher form of life than animals. Scientists were once highly influenced by such views. For instance, animal behaviorists influenced by Descartes (17th-century) viewed animals as mindless automatons that did not think but only responded to environmental stimuli. They believed that if you studied the behavior of one animal you could apply it to all others. Luckily, scientists have parted ways with this methodology.
RE: Resistance to evolution
The idea that there is a "grand meaning" to life in general is what evolution challenges, however the evolutionists have mistakenly fallen into this trap a little.
Evolution implies that there is a trajectory from less complex to more complex, when what is called complex or not complex is simply a subjective human opinion.
The bourgeois liberals have also contradicted evolution in falsely claiming that life or habitats are part of an "eco-system" that somehow levels itself out as long as we dirty bird humans keep our hands out of it. According to this view, nature is static and maintains itself at an optimum level when left alone, this view clearly contradicts evolution.

No, evolution does not posit a trajectory from less to more complex. There are no goals in evolution, no foresight; there is only selection.
I don't think eco-system is a 'bourgeois liberal' term, merely a view of the natural world at a level higher than species selection.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has tapped a veteran American diplomat to be the new U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Secretary of State John Kerry says he chose Ambassador James F. Dobbins because of his "deep and long-standing relationships in the region."
Kerry called the leaders of Afghanistan and Pakistan on Friday to inform them of his decision. He praised Dobbins as one of America's "most accomplished diplomats."
Dobbins replaces Marc Grossman, who took the job after Richard Holbrooke died in 2010.
Dobbins raised the flag over the U.S. Embassy in Kabul when it reopened in 2001. He most recently has been serving as a director at the RAND Corporation.

Working also on a microflash. Here some conclusions:
- IR leds consume to much energy for the amount of light they give
- use red leds with a wavelength as high as possible
And now, gone do some more tests!
Hello Owfotograaf,
I am not an electrical engineer, but do have some experience in electronics. Would you please explain your comment that IR LEDs consume too much energy?
An IR LED uses about 1/2 the voltage, but does use more current. A typical IR LED would drive at 50mA @ 1.5VDC voltage drop, where a visible red LED might use only 20mA @ 2.4VDC voltage drop. Would not the trade off of voltage to current keep, what we might call the battery usuage about the same?
These LEDs are going to be on for such a small amount of time and number of flashes, I wonder if worrying about battery drain is an issue.
I am not saying you are wrong, I want to know in case I decide to build one of these circuits for myself or a friend.
Many thanks,

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — This is what Associated Press reporters on the scene are learning following the largest earthquake to hit the San Francisco Bay Area in 25 years:
5:43 p.m. PDT
State and local roads leading to wineries south of Napa, around the community of Carneros, we're closer to the quake's suspected origin and showed more damage than elsewhere. By the middle of the afternoon, road crews had patched a section of state Highway 121 where the roadbed had shifted, cracking open the surface. Nearby, crews repaired a local road where the roadbed had dropped several inches.
Off that road, vintner Richard Ward of Saintsbury winery oversaw workers righting giant toppled barrels and rescuing a 500-pound grape de-stemmer that the quake had thrown to the ground.
"That's what happens when you're a mile from the epicenter," he said, turning to point toward hills where the quake apparently started.
Ward lost 300 to 400 bottles in the winery's basement. The grape harvest was supposed to have started overnight tonight, but would now be pushed off a few days, he said. Had the harvest started last night, the quake would have caught the workers in the wine buildings, with the heavy barrels, when it struck, Ward said.
5:23 p.m. PDT
Mark Ghilarducci, director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, said at a news conference late Sunday afternoon that the situation had stabilized.
By midday, officials had a good sense that the fires were out and power was starting to be restored. "While it was bad, it wasn't as bad as it could be and it was very manageable from a regional perspective," he said.
Ghilarducci said about 90 to 100 homes were deemed not habitable. He said the next step was to continue damage assessments and get a cost estimate for potential federal assistance.
Aftershocks were expected to continue for several weeks, though State Geologist John Parrish said they would decrease in magnitude and it was unlikely that there would be a large follow-up earthquake. Still, he warned people to be careful because buildings that were damaged by the quake were now more susceptible to collapse from aftershocks.
5 p.m. PDT
Pacific Gas and Electric has lowered the pressure on its Sonoma-to-Napa gas line and is monitoring all gas outlets for leaks, spokesman Jeff Smith said. The company has so far received 439 complaint calls about gas odors and has cut off gas to about 20 customers because of damaged equipment, Smith said. Anyone with concerns about a gas leak may call the company at 800-743-5002, he said.
As of 5 p.m., about 7,300 electricity customers are without power, he said.
3:33 p.m. PDT
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has reduced the number of customers without power to about 17,000, spokesman Jeff Smith said. Right after the earthquake hit 12 hours ago, about 70,000 people were without power, he said.
2:46 p.m. PDT
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is working to restore power to 30,000 customers after the earthquake, spokesman Jeff Smith said.
There have been "no reports of significant damage" to the company's equipment, Smith said. Crews are continuing to assess the situation, he added.
If customers smell gas or experience an emergency, they should call the company immediately, Smith said.
Customers should not try to turn their gas on themselves, he said. Customers should call Pacific Gas and Electric "to get your gas back on" to avoid a potentially dangerous situation, Smith said.
2:25 p.m. PDT
The California Department of Transportation has inspected San Francisco Bay Area state highways and structures and says all damage appears to be minor.
The agency says bridges and roadways are open and safe for travel.
2:14 p.m. PDT
All Napa Valley Unified School District campuses will be closed Monday. Justin Siena High School will also be closed.
2:14 p.m. PDT
U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said in a statement that she will be sending staffers to hard-hit Napa on Monday and said: "I will be talking to local officials about how we can help ensure that residents, businesses and communities have the resources they need to recover and rebuild."
2:14 p.m. PDT
Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, which treated 120 people, has some damage from the earthquake. That included burst pipes in a non-patient area, ceiling tiles falling off in office areas and minor structural damage to an outbuilding.
Spokeswoman Vanessa DeGier said: "We are open 24 hours a day and so some of our staff did sustain some injuries," which she characterized as minor.
2:14 p.m. PDT
Gracie Ramirez, 19, was at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa to visit her sister-in-law, Connie Navarro, who gave birth to a boy about 10 minutes before the quake struck.
Ramirez said: "The nurses were grabbing the baby and, you know, trying to check all his fingers and toes, and then 'boom.'
"The computers fell, the hospital was a mess, they told me that one of the nurses was injured because a computer fell on her."
1:55 p.m. PDT
Napa Public Works Director Jack LaRochelle says it could take as long as a week to repair 60 water mains that broke or sprung leaks. He says residents serviced by mains that had to be shut down for repairs could be without water in their homes for that long.
LaRochelle stressed that it was still safe to drink from municipal taps, and the water plants for the city were not damaged.
1:55 p.m. PDT
Officials said tourists planning to visit Napa Valley should check whether their accommodations were affected, but they said much of the valley was not impacted.
1:55 p.m. PDT
Though the damage appeared to be most significant in Napa, other cities nearby were also affected. About 15 miles south in Vallejo, city officials said 41 buildings were damaged, primarily in the downtown area and on Mare Island, and there were 16 water main breaks.
Congressman Mike Thompson, who represents Napa, says a museum and homes that belonged to officers when Mare Island served as a naval shipyard were declared uninhabitable.
1:32 p.m. PDT
The earthquake couldn't have come at a worse time for winemakers in the storied Napa Valley, which has just started harvesting the 2014 crop. Thousands of bottles and barrels broke.
Tom Montgomery, a winemaker for B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen, California, said: "It's devastating. I've never seen anything like this."
1:32 p.m. PDT
Napa City Manager Mike Parness says it is too early to estimate damages. He said: "Right now we're still in initial response mode where we're trying to find out what the conditions are. Once we have that identified then we will start putting numbers to it and try to get a better handle on it. We really can't do that right now. It's only been a few hours."
12:58 p.m. PDT
The earthquake sent 120 people to Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, where officials set up a triage tent to handle the influx. Hospital CEO Walt Mickens says most had cuts, bumps and bruises received either in the quake, when they tried to flee their homes or while cleaning up. Three people were admitted with broken bones, and two for heart attacks.
12:58 p.m. PDT
Napa City Manager Mike Parness says 15 to 16 buildings are no longer inhabitable after Sunday's magnitude-6.0 earthquake, and there is only limited access to numerous other structures, mostly ones with broken windows. Officials say they are still assessing buildings in the area.

Computer researchers at Stanford University have announced that they would like to eliminate hard drive storage for their computer system and store everything in computer memory. They are calling it the "RAMCloud." It just goes to prove that you can spice up anything with the word "cloud," whether it has anything to do with cloud networks or not.
Their argument essentially is that, even though capacity of hard drive storage has increased dramatically over the last four decades, their performance hasn't increased as much and has fallen behind the needs of large-scale Web applications. Although many have proposed various solutions to this, including the use of solid-state drives and so forth, the folks at Stanford have proposed a whole new class of storage that uses dynamic random-access memory exclusively.
Using DRAM would have much lower latency than any other type of storage. It would also have other benefits, such as quick recovery. In another paper, the Stanford researchers claim that an average-sized server using RAMCloud could recover from a crash in 1.6 seconds.
Of course, there are two major potential problems with using DRAM. One is the cost. DRAM has a much higher cost per data unit than pretty much any other type of storage available. However, since this storage class would primarily be used in huge Web-based retail applications and so forth, they could probably afford to splurge a bit.
The second issue is really the clincher. DRAM is designed to work when it has power supplied to it. Whatever is stored on it will quickly degrade without power. So, to use it in this capacity, they will need a huge amount of uninterruptible power. And of course, if the worst actually comes to pass and the data center is left powerless for an extended period of time, the center's employees will need a copy of their data on some more conventional media so that they can restore it to the DRAM systems. But network centers have gotten pretty good at maintaining constant power level for a while now, so this wouldn't be anything new.
All in all, it's a pretty neat idea that could dramatically improve the performance of scalable systems.

1. Jason Brennan, The Ethics of Voting. Published in 2011, this is one of the most provocative books Ive read in the last few years. Brennan develops a theory of what it means to vote ethically given that the consequences of bad governance are so dire. He argues that you have to vote based on having justified beliefs about what will actually advance the common good. This requires a familiarity with basic economics, for example, and it is a familiarity that most elected representatives sorely lack. Brennan echoes a theme from the economist Bryan Caplans 2007 book The Myth of the Rational Voter: we do not get bad public policy because the system is corrupt. We get bad public policy because people vote for it, enthusiastically.
2. Christopher J. Coyne, After War: The Political Economy of Exporting Democracy. For good or ill, governments make war. It behooves us to understand the consequences of foreign adventures. While no one would seriously object to peace and freedom in the Middle East, for example, it is a serious mistake to equate worthy objectives with good policy ideas. A goal is not an outcome: wanting peace and prosperity in the Middle East doesnt mean that we can get there by fighting wars. In After War, Christopher Coyne describes the track record of American interventions abroad. It isnt good. Another excellent read along these lines is Ralph Raicos Great Wars and Great Leaders: A Libertarian Rebuttal. PDF and ePub versions are available from Mises.org for $0. Heres the PDF.

As soon as Urara saw the kiss I was pretty sure Keima was planning to use her desire to be an adult as a way to get closer to her. Considering he's the most mature-minded person in their entire class, he would stand out to her as sort of an idol and/or rival.~
But it's good that she still has a kid's personality underneath that facade she uses amongst her classmates. It makes her more likeable now.
I don't think Keima necessarily needs to make Urara fall for him to proceed in whatever is going on, but it'll probably happen anyway.

I'll have to commend Wakaki for drawing subtle details to back up his story. When Keima said he planned for Urara to see him, he really meant it.
Spoiler for 205 snip:
In just three panels, you see that 1) Urara was still in the pool area when she noticed Keima, 2) from Keima's view, he can easily notice where Urara is hiding in his field on vision without having to turn around, and 3) Keima apparently did not wander off far so that Urara could find him.
Wakaki managed to show, not tell Keima's plan in only 3 panels. Very impressive.

i think i have a theory some of the thing in this arc...
about urara...this girl definitely needed for construction of new maijima academy, im sure the park will be cancelled and in its place the maijima academy project. urara strike me as prideful so she wont approach keima unless he approach her first...which is the reason she never approach him in the future or maybe she just transferred out...and the reason that keima dont remember her at all because of the mental time travel that happen now...
about why tenri know...i guess maybe elsie? haha anyway at some point tenri must know that keima must return to fetch dokuro and conguer urara, the one to explain that either elsie or keima himself
the arc itself im sure will be finished just right before the camping trip in order for the child keima to retain the memory of the camping trip...

WHAT: ARM today announced that it was successful in the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in the patent infringement litigation brought against ARM by Nazomi Communications, Inc., over the current commercial design of the ARM® Jazelle® Java accelerator technology.
WHEN: February 21, 2008
WHY: The CAFC today ruled that no error could be found in the claim construction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and it affirmed the original summary judgment of non-infringement in favor of ARM.
WHO: Nazomi Communications conceded in the original case that, based on the court's claim construction, ARM's products do not infringe the '215 patent. Nazomi Communications appealed the original judgment of non-infringement on the basis that the district court misconstrued the claim construction. The CAFC did not see any errors in the district court's construction and it thus affirmed the original grant of summary judgment of non-infringement in favor of ARM. The decision can be found at: http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions/07-1190.pdf

The best fruitcake I ever ate was one I bought in November 2000 at a special Christmas Market with lots of fruitcakes stands in Covent Garden, London. Actually i bought two:one cheap ( relatively)- good, but not more than that- and one really very expensive, soaked in brandy or whisky, I don't remember.
I brought it back to israel and ate it at hannuka with the family: the kids ( grandchildren)) of course didn't like it- Hannuka is greasy jelly doughnuts, -, but all the adults were delighted: it was moist, rich, flavourful , in short- delicious. Reading this topic made me realize that I've not been in London since , and I found myself browsing for theaters, museums etc in London . Maybe in November, maybe in February. I love winter in Europe. If November, I'll certainly go and look for that fruitcake again. Griffin, you don't need a passport to come to London, do you?
No more war, more fruitcakes from London, NOW!!!

Okay, finally I will try the Alton Brown "Free Range Fruitcake" I've been meaning (for years, according to this nice old thread) to bake. The booze and or-gan-ic sun-dried if-you-please ingredients cost me a bit--no, cost me a lot! But it will be fun. I'll bake today, then wait-- "The cake's flavor will enhance considerably over the next two weeks," according to the recipe.
Georgia, if you're out there, I'll post to let you know what I think.

We salute thee, intrepid Gingerpale! I always wondered where the other people who like fruitcake (the real dark and moist kind, not the ones with all the little red and green bits that make me wonder if I should have it with tea or plug it in and place it in a window for decoration) hung out.

Gingerpale, you're a sweetheart. I AM out here...sometimes really far out here, but that's another story...and am eagerly awaiting your assessment of the fabled fruitcake recipe. I've given up. I'm the only one who eats it, so I'm moving on. Actually, my grandmother who couldn't cook worth a damn (as opposed to the one who cooked and baked divinely) made a swell fruitcake. I think I made them all those years in homage to her one great talent.
The past few years, I've included David Lebovitz's pan forte in my holiday baking in lieu of fruitcake. In fact, I've already baked one for this year. It's rich, chocolately, full of nuts and candied orange peel. You can find it in his "Room for Dessert". A sliver is enough to keep me happy and not missing traditional fruitcake too terribly much.
Geez. Is Christmas upon us already???

Thanks for resurrecting this thread! I was looking for my James Beard recipe, and here it is from a while back.
I had almost decided to skip this year, but maybe I'll make a few loaves.
Can't wait to hear your review of Alton Brown's recipe!

Lol, "resurrecting threads" ... that phrase would have made NO sense 10 years ago. (Unless of course you were discussing mummies!) But now it is instant personal history
an excellent source of lost / forgotten recipes.
The Alton Brown fruitcake is made. It's supposed to be "spritzed" with brandy periodically for next 2 weeks at least. I'm researching how much total brandy to use--I think about 1 1/2 tablespoonsful every other day. Too timid? I read about people's grandmas who make the fruitcakes in January--for the next Christmas! Debbie (of this forum) starts in June. Laurie Colwin (late & loved "Home Cooking" author) said her "Black Cake" fruits should soak in rum and wine for 6 months.
This recipe is quite a bit more streamlined. I trust A. Brown to know the science behind the method, and not compromise the flavor.
Very frustrating to have a whole cooled cake that can't be sliced/tasted for weeks. The smell of the hot berries cherries etc. steeped in rum made me think I should open-for-business a fruitcakery immediately!

My grandmother used to make christmas puddings 6 months in advance and hang them to 'cure'. The rest of the family swore by them but I've never liked fruitcake. The one exception was at a past boyfriends house whose mother made one as a teacake which was light and moist and a bit spicey.
If I could have gotten the recipe I'd make it but otherwise will probably just stick to eating the icing off other peoples wedding cakes.

My family used to make a fruitcake which I was quite fond of. I liked the batter which was lighter than some fruitcakes and made with bourbon but not soaked in liquor like some fruitcakes. What made me finally stop making it was the technicolor candied fruits. I am kind of nostalgic for it, though.
What I am more nostalgic for, however is something that I make a substitute for to this day. That is steamed Christmas pudding with hard sauce. We used to make an enormous, heavy version with suet steamed in a bag. I now make a smaller, lighter version steamed in a basin, and made with butter, as my guests are often a little uncomfortable with the suet. The suet was tasty, but my new version rarely fails to please.

The Alton Brown "Free Range Fruitcake" I posted about earlier is done now, now being served. It's made with organic dried apricots, blueberries, cherries, cranberries (& more) instead of candied dyed glaceed cherries, pineapple, citron, etc.
Very nice! I waited 3 weeks to taste, brushing with brandy every other day. There's a nice just-barely-alcohol-burn aftertaste. Each fruit can be tasted individually, but
only if you think about it
. Will not hesitate to do this again--now that I've done the original recipe I can play. Mini- cakes with personalized fruit combos/pairings!
The cake itself--batter/baking time and temp/ -- all of that went well.
One thing--I don't think it's right with coffee, I like it with wine.

Head of cocaine ring in Wheatfield gets 8-year prison term
The head of a large-scale cocaine ring that operated out of bars in northern Erie County and Niagara County was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara to eight years in prison.
Keith Simmons, of North Tonawanda, is one of the last of 23 defendants to be sentenced in connection with a case that involved two popular bars in Wheatfield – JT Wheatfield's on Ward Road and Papa Joe's on Niagara Falls Boulevard. Authorities say the defendants used the bars to distribute cocaine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael L. McCabe and defense attorney Cheryl Meyers Buth both credited Simmons with cooperating with prosecutors after pleading guilty to engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise in 2010.
Simmons, who has admitted in the past to being the "organizer and supervisor" of the drug ring, told Arcara that he regrets what he did and is eager to move on with his life once he's out of prison.

Riders of electric-assist bicycles will be able to use multiuse paths in Boulder, including along the more congested sections of the Boulder Creek Path, starting next year.
The Boulder City Council unanimously approved a yearlong pilot program late Tuesday to assess the impact of allowing the bicycles on paths.
Boulder has a goal of at least 15 percent of all trips being made by bicycle. Transportation officials and advocates of alternative modes of transportation believe allowing electric bicycles, which are already allowed in on-street bicycle lanes, to use multiuse paths away from traffic might encourage more people to get out of their cars.
The hope is that so-called "interested but concerned" cyclists who have physical limitations or are worried about interacting with cars on the road will be more likely to take a bike and not a car to work or shopping if they have the option of using an electric-assist bicycle on off-road paths, officials said.
During several public meetings earlier this year, some users of the path system said they had concerns that allowing e-bikes would make congestion worse along crowded areas like the Boulder Creek Path.
One of the options before the City Council would have excluded a section along the creek path, but council members decided to open all portions of the multiuse path to e-bikes.
The speed limit on the multiuse paths is 15 miles per hour. The top speed of e-bikes is around 20 mph.
However, the electric-assist bicycles will not be allowed on any paths on city open space, even those that allow regular bicycles. One proposal had called for e-bikes to be allowed on hard-paved paths on open space, but council members felt adding open space to the pilot program raised too many issues.
The Open Space Board of Trustees said using motorized vehicles on open space violates the city charter.
E-bikes are also not allowed on sidewalks.
During the pilot program, city staff will assess how well the bicycles share the paths with other users, the rates of collisions and "near misses" and the impact on usage rates.
At the end of the pilot program, they will make a recommendation on permanent policy.
Councilman Tim Plass said he sees a lot of potential in the pilot program.
"I'm just really excited that we're going to try to close that gap and get more people out of their cars," he said.

General Comments: Futures were lower on speculative and origin selling tied to a stronger US Dollar. London held better on follow through buying as London trends turned up on Friday. Prices for Arabica remain in the recent trading range, with bulls talking about the losses from rust in Central America and the bears noting that there is more than enough coffee being produced in other countries to cover the losses seen in Central America. For now, it looks like Central America could lose at least 5% of the total crop this year and more next year. Current crop development is good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting beneficial showers for the developing crop. Production ideas remain big there, and also remain big in Vietnam even though producers there talk about the potential for 25% crop losses. Central America crops are mostly harvested. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.642 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 133.29 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry conditions this week and scattered showers and storms this weekend and into next week. Temperatures will average near normal. Colombia should get mostly dry conditions, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 140.00 March. Support is at 142.50, 141.00, and 138.00 March, and resistance is at 147.00, 150.00, and 151.00 March. Trends in London are up with objectives of 2070, 2100, and 2290 March. Support is at 2020, 2000, and 1985 March, and resistance is at 2060, 2070, and 2085 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed to down with objectives of 179.00 March. Support is at 181.00, 179.50, and 179.00 March, and resistance is at 185.00, 188.00, and 190.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed lower as the US Dollar moved higher. Most traders still note that big supplies appear to be available to the market, but Brazil said it will increase the ethanol in its gasoline blends in May. There are ideas that this could help work off a lot of the surplus production in Brazil and could tighten world balance sheets. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong after the delayed start to the program. The Thai crushing season is underway with good production expected, but the crushing and export pace remain slow. It is possible that the crop size there has been overestimated. Traders wonder if and when India will cut offers to the market due to the lower prices and perhaps less than expected production due to some dry weather at the beginning of the growing season.
Overnight News: Scattered are expected in Brazil through this weekend. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 1935 May. Support is at 1875, 1850, and 1835 May, and resistance is at 1900, 1920, and 1940 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 520.00 May. Support is at 507.00, 503.00, and 500.00 May, and resistance is at 512.00, 517.00, and 521.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed a little lower on US Dollar strength. Speculators seemed to be the biggest traders on both sides of the market. Futures might be finding a peak in prices in the current range as the overall fundamental picture is not strong. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Overall weather patterns in West Africa production areas are good for harvest progress and for the mid crop and next crop. Nigerian sources told wire services that current coller and wetter weather iss very good for mid crop development. Demand is still reported weaker from the US and Europe, in part due to current economics and in part due to changes forced by the World Bank that encouraged forward marketing of the crops. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production déficit next year. Ivory Coast growing conditions are reported good right now as the Harmattan winds have subsided without causing any real damage to crops. Some showers have been reported there and in Ghana as well.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa, but some showers are expected in coastal areas. Temperatures will average above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers, but Malaysia will be drier this weekend. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get scattered showers and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 3.810 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2155, 2145, and 2115 March, with resistance at 2215, 2230, and 2250 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1410, 1405, and 1380 March, with resistance at 1445, 1455, and 1465 March.

As a child, one of my favorite dessert treats was "Aunt Hattie's Hermits," a raisin-filled spice cookie in bar form. But all those years, I never knew who Aunt Hattie was. Later, as the family historian, I had collected all the impersonal, cold hard facts about Henrietta Josephine Wenz. It was many years before I ever saw her photograph. Now she seems like an old friend! She was born in Acquackanouk, Passaic, New Jersey in 1878, lived with her older brother, my great-grandfather, in 1930, never married, and worked as a housekeeper until she died in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1943. She is buried in an unmarked grave in Mountain View Cemetery in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.
I believe the recipe came from her father, Philip Henry Wenz, a German immigrant to New York and New Jersey, who was listed as a confectioner, baker or cook in various censuses and city directories from 1875 to 1902. The photo below is believed to be of Philip's bakery wagon in Passaic.
Here is her recipe for Hermits:
Cream together:
¾ cup shortening or butter ½ cup molasses
1 ½ cups granulated sugar 2 eggs
Combine and add to mix:
¼ cup warm water 1 teaspoon baking soda
Combine and add to mix:
3 ½ cups flour ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup raisins ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Spread in greased shallow baking pan or jelly-roll pan and bake at 375° for about 35-45 minutes.

Minister for International Development Heidi Hautala gave a speech at the event on Freedom from Violence for Every Woman and Girl: A Priority for the Post-2015 Agend, Organized by the Permanent Missions of Finland and Liberia, and UN Women, in New York on 25 Septembre 2013.
Check against delivery
Ministers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am delighted to be here with Minister Duncan Cassell of Liberia, with the new Executive Director of UN Women Mme Mlambo-Ngcuka, with Professor Aziza Ahmed, and with all of you. As we celebrate the landmark Special Event on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, and discuss de-velopment post 2015, it is absolutely vital to focus our full attention on the issue of violence against women and girls.
The international community has committed itself to gender equality and the advancement of the status of women. Gender equality is a Millennium Development Goal. It is also one of the main objectives of the Beijing Declara-tion and Platform for Action, and the Programme of Action of the Cairo Inter-national Conference on Population and Development.
Gender equality is a human right. Women must have equal opportunities to participate in, and to give their full contribution to all spheres of life. All forms of discrimination and violence must be firmly rejected. The sexual and repro-ductive health and rights of women must be ensured - to save women's lives, and to enable them to realize their full potential.
As we work towards a new universal sustainable development agenda, there is hardly a more universal issue than gender-based violence. Sadly, wherever we come from, we can all somehow relate to it. Violence against women takes place in the public sphere, and in the private. It stifles the potential of girls all over the world, and kills the plans and dreams of the young. It affects the lives of women of all ages, and their families.
Violence against women and girls is a waste of human potential at individual level. It also seriously undermines the development of societies. The realiza-tion of equality between women and men, on the other hand, effectively promotes the achievement of all the other development goals. The links between gender equality and development have been clear for a long time. It is time that we draw conclusions, and make sure that we do not allow discrimination and violence undermine development results. Trying to achieve sustainable development without gender equality will be a loosing battle.
At the same time, while we need to recognize and act upon the situations where women are victims, we must first and foremost see them as the po-werful agents of change that they are. Letting women and girls realize their full potential without fear of violence, letting them empower themselves, will take us a long way in promoting sustainable development.
A very significant development in recent years has been the birth of UN Women. Having a gender champion like the UN Women that can lead efforts globally, is a great opportunity for us all. Finland has had excellent coopera-tion with UN Women. Its first Executive Director Michelle Bachelet already took the organization far. I am delighted, and very much looking forward to, cooperating with its second Executive Director. - With the commitment and enthusiasm that you have, Mme Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, and with your impressive background and previous career in promoting human rights, equality and social justice, you certainly have what it takes to handle this challenging job, and the expectations that come with it.
I also want to take the opportunity to remind ourselves that to succeed, UN Women will need our support. As Development Minister, I have been in the privileged position to be able to contribute to this common effort. After hav-ing almost doubled our support to UN Women this year, I plan to double it again next year. That will bring Finland's total core support to UN Women to over 18 million US dollars.
Finally, I want to make a brief reference to the UNDG Post 2015 thematic consultation on 'Conflict, Violence and Disaster'. Together with Liberia, Indonesia and Panama, and the UN, Finland supported this important inclusive process. The consultation made it very clear that freedom from violence for all is an absolute must. It also made clear that violence against women and girls needs particularly close attention and requires our full commitment also regarding the Post 2015 agenda.
Gender equality and freedom from violence must be made a reality for all women. It is an important precondition of sustainable development. But most importantly, it is a human right that needs to be guaranteed.

We've all been there at some point…crouched over the QWERTY, with a gaming mouse or at the console with a controller or steering wheel in-hand; swerving, smoking tires, and avoiding pursuit in the virtual racing world. The 'Need for Speed' series of games has captured audiences worldwide for nearly 20 years and isn't about to leave any thrill untouched. Know what's even cooler? A group of producers has teamed up and roped in the Ford Mustang for an actual movie based upon the video game series. There's no solid word on the title just yet, but you can safely bank it will somehow tie in the long-standing Need for Speed moniker in order to take advantage of the franchise's successes.
The Ford Mustang in the movie is reported to be a 900hp variant, powered by the all-aluminum, 5.8-liter, supercharged V8…not too bad at all, considering America's favorite pony car will be ripping the roadways with a healthy collection of global exotics and supercars, no doubt. As for the timing of when we get to see it all–it's presently pinned for March of next year, right along with the Mustang 50th Anniversary. How convenient, right?
Cool? Corny? Meh? Regardless of how you react, it's going to be a cool sight to see, if at the least to say it's the X-thousandth time you have spied a Ford Mustang in a production silver screen product… Follow the jump for the video.

I have sets and or hot cards from players of all sports, from around 1992. We bought out some of our items from closing sport shops. I have a whole room full and after not doing anything with them for years, have decided it is time to find them new homes. I have binders of many players as well. Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripkin, Frank Thomas, Brewers and Packers. I am unsure of how to go about listing or getting these items out to the public. Any suggestions are appreciated. email@example.com

Heart It Or Hate It: Sex And The City Franchise Gets A NEW Samantha Jones
Though nobody NOBODY! can play Sex and the City's Samantha Jones like Kim Cattrall, the CW's SATC prequel series The Carrie Diaries has allowed us to breathe a sigh of relief over its selection of who should tackle the iconic character in her younger years.
Lindsey Gort, a young actress from the Florida panhandle who bears a striking resemblance to Kim, will play the pre-SATC Samantha when CW's show returns for its second season this fall.
Glamour has a little more on Sam's addition to the show:
Producers said she'll come into Carrie's life via a "surprising connection" and describe young Sam as "a ballsy, beautiful, and sexy young woman from the panhandle of Florida who has made her way—and already a name for herself—in the rock 'n' roll scene of 1980s NYC."
What do you think of the casting for an otherwise untouchable role, Instincters?

Off Road Truck Headlights Electrical Wiring - Simple SwitchesPosted in How To: Electrical on June 1, 2009
In the last two Back to Basics stories, we concentrated on easy steps for upkeep and upgrades for your 4x4. This month we'll tackle a simple wiring project. Wiring your off-road lights might seem like a no-brainer, but if you don't use your brain you could go from a blazing beam to fire and screams with one quick spark. The trick to wiring lights-or anything on your vehicle, for that matter-is using wire and switches large enough for the load currently required and protecting them the entire way. Recently we outfitted our Black Sheep Dodge project with four Genesis HIDs up front and two rear-facing 140 Lance halogen lights from Lighforce. we'll be showing some of the details of this project as well as some tricks we've seen on other lights.
Before we go any further we must emphasize that every lighting project is different and properly sized wiring, switches, and fuses need to be used. That's why we won't be giving gauge or amperage numbers, as those must be determined for your specific vehicle and electrical load. Rather than having an under-dash wiring meltdown, simply follow the instructions or call the manufacturer or the place where you bought the lights and get their input. If they can't help answer your questions to safely wire in your lights, then we don't recommend purchasing from them again.
1. This is the most basic wiring system for off-road lights, but it is also not recommended by most lighting companies. This Baja race bug uses switches and circuit breakers and uses a thick wire running from the battery to the circuit breaker (or a fuse), then to the switch, and then to the light. Now you are running more amperage to the dash and then to the lights, which could result in voltage drops, overheating low-amperage switches, melting wires, and possibly fires if the wire rubs through on body panels. If you do go this route, which we do not recommend, use appropriate amperage switches and do not run more than four low-draw HIDs or two standard incandescent bulbs per breaker or switch. Also make sure there is a secondary fuse back closer to the battery for safety.
2. Most aftermarket off-road lights come with a wiring harness that actually includes two correlating circuits. One is high-amperage and goes from the battery through a fuse, to a relay, to the lights, and then to ground. The second one is low-amperage and goes from some fused power source, to the switch, then to a relay, and then to ground. The relay is an electric switch that is turned on or off by the low-amperage circuit going to your dash switch. When the low-amperage current from the switch turns on the relay, it makes a distinctive click and connects the heavy amperage current from the fused wire attached to the battery to the off-road lights directly.
3. The wire coming from the battery going to the relay should have a fuse on it, and that fuse should be as short a distance from the battery as possible. If there is not a fuse or the fuse is mounted far from the battery, then it results in an unprotected circuit, since there is nothing to "blow" or shut off the power if the wire were to short out on a sharp frame or body edge.
4. It is important to protect any wires running around on your vehicle and to install grommets wherever you have wires running through body panels. Many types of wire looms are available also, so use some to protect your wires.
5. After the power comes out of the relay and goes to the light, it must complete the circuit by going to the ground or negative side of your battery. Some off-road lights are self-grounding, meaning their metal bodies are grounded when bolted to a bumper, rollbar, or roof rack. This system works OK, but what if the bumper, rollbar, or roof rack isn't grounded well? We appreciate the additional ground wires coming from the lightweight carbon composite (nonmetal) Lightforce lights better, as we are assured of a quality ground. These grounds can be spliced and wired back to the battery or attached to a factory body ground; we chose the latter form of this ground next to the fuel neck filler for the rear lights, and a similar point under the hood for the front lights.
6. On our Black Sheep project we used the front foglight switch to turn on the relay and power our front lights, while the rear bed-mounted lights are turned on by the factory rear bed-light switch on the dash. Neither circuit actually powers the lights; that's done by the larger fused wire from the battery via the relay. In fact some new vehicle like our Dodge have computers that watch how much draw each circuit is using, and when you are outside the allotted amps it shuts off the power. The front four Lightforce HID lights only draw 2.9 amps each when running due to their internal ballast resisters, but they spike up to 4.5 or 5.0 amps when first turned on until they warm up.
7. The Dodge, like most new trucks, is wired to allow the foglights to be on only when the low beams are chosen, meaning we can't have off-road lights and high beams at the same time. This isn't really a problem as far as visibility goes since the four HIDs outshine both the high and low beams, but it could be a legal issue if we ever forget and run with the HIDs on while on the street. Most off-road lighting companies give instructions to wire in their lights so that they can only be turned on when the high beams are chosen, which is the best way in our view because you can quickly shut off your off-road lights by switching to low beam should oncoming vehicles appear. To do this, simply splice the power to the switch wire to the positive-side wire going to the high-beam wiring. In this photo the green wire is the high-beam power, and the yellow wire is the power to the switch.
8. Every state has its own rules. Some do not allow off-road lights above the headlights to be uncovered. On our truck we chose amber light covers for the rear deck lights. These lights are common amongst the desert off-road crowd, as many off-road race rules require a rear-mounted amber light. Even with these amber covers we wouldn't recommend turning on these lights in traffic because they will blind any tailgaters. Another option is to wire in rear-facing lights into the reverse lights to give additional rearward light when backing up.

In church history, our day is not unique in terms of the ever-present peril of false teachers and false teachings. However in this digital age with 1001 sources of information or disinformation, believers are more easily than ever exposed to heresy parading under the banner of "Christian ministry." Combine that accessibility with massive biblical illiteracy […]
If Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians highlights the glory of the Church, the body of Christ, his Epistle to the Colossians underscores the supremacy of Christ, the head of the Church. These two epistles accentuate many of the same themes, both theological and practical, so that they complement one another and help us interpret each […]
A lot of Christian sentiments don't carry the same force when they are written from 'Happy Valley' as when they are penned from harsh conditions.

The Final Word is a daily Bible teaching radio program from Pastor Jim Andrews of Lake Bible Church, in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It currently airs in Portland, Oregon, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. However, we hear from listeners all over the world who listen in via our web site. Pastor Jim typically teaches through the books of the Bible in an expositional style.
Past messages are available in the podcast archive. We encourage our listeners to take advantage of this extensive reference as they endeavor to understand and apply Scripture to their daily lives.
Pastor Jim has over fifty years in Christian ministry: tweny-one as a teacher in Bible college and seminary and over thirty years as a pastor and Bible teacher. As he himself describes his preaching philosophy, he strives in his teaching "to herd biblical truth and the issues of life into violent collision at the intersections of the mind and heart." He models that old adage that sees the preacher's job as "comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable." His ministry resonates most with people "who are seeking to look up, to study God, to know Him, to understand His ways and His will and then to do it."

PACHA: The National HIV/AIDS Strategy Must Target Black America
May 3, 2010
As AIDS advocates from across the country convened in Washington, D.C., for the annual advocacy and education event AIDSWatch, the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) met for the second time last week under the Obama administration. With new members and a new chair--Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president and CEO of the poverty-fighting organization CARE--the council renewed the call for a National HIV/AIDS Strategy that specifically addresses those at the center of the U.S. epidemic: Black Americans.
"The AIDS epidemic in Black America is unique," says PACHA member Phill Wilson, president and chief executive officer of the Black AIDS Institute. "Black people in America are impacted by HIV and AIDS in a way that nobody else comes anywhere close."
That point was highlighted when Michelle Batchelor, senior manager of racial and ethnic health disparities for the National Alliance of State & Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) in Washington, D.C., moderated a panel on Black women living with HIV/AIDS. Batchelor pointed out that one in 30 Black women would be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime.
Linda Scruggs, program director for the Washington, D.C.-based AIDS Alliance for Children, Youth & Families, was diagnosed with HIV almost 20 years ago. She spoke of meeting HIV-positive Black women of every age and social class.
Barbara Joseph, executive director of Positive Efforts, a Houston-based AIDS service organization, told of her struggles to obtain health insurance. "My insurance premium would be $1,676 a month, and I can't afford that. So guess what? I don't take HIV drugs at this point," she said.
Much of the meeting was spent discussing how PACHA could best help the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) develop the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. Here are President Obama's goals:
No national strategy can encompass every HIV-related concern, said ONAP director Jeffrey Crowley. He urged PACHA to focus on a few key concerns and suggestions, a recommendation that sparked additional recommendations that Black America be a focal point of any strategy.
"The Center of the AIDS epidemic is the African American community. If we don't address where the epidemic is, we're sure it will keep going on," said council member the Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, chairman of the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS, Inc., and pastor of New York City's Abyssinian Baptist Church.
With the meeting open to the public, audience members voiced their concerns and suggestions:
Ronald Johnson, deputy executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based AIDS Action and a PACHA member under President Bill Clinton, urged PACHA "to really focus on the issue of accountability and how it can be achieved through the HIV/AIDS Strategy."
Andrea Johnson, founder of the Philadelphia youth-empowerment organization Girl U Can Do It, Inc., spoke of being infected by her husband. "I didn't have any risk factor except sex with my husband," she said. "The message in my community was not given in regards to women who were married getting HIV. And we are starting to represent a large number of women that are being infected with a disease that we cannot get rid of."
Although the meeting ended with as many questions as it began with, it launched future PACHA deliberations and showed how monumental those discussions would be for Blacks in particular. The next assembly takes place on May 14.
"There has to be something in the national strategy that explicitly says, 'What are we going to do to end the AIDS epidemic in Black America?' " Wilson said.
Tamara E. Holmes is a Washington, D.C.-based journalist who writes about health, wealth and personal growth.

Homage to '50s alien flicks too intense for youngest kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that, like The Incredibles, this movie is too violent and intense for the youngest viewers. There's gunfire, explosions, widespread destruction, crowds panicking, and some deaths -- including one in which a good guy picks up a gun and accidentally shoots a bad guy, with no real consequences. Much of this is played for laughs, but it could be quite scary for young kids. One of the good guys is briefly presumed dead, which could also be upsetting. On the other hand, language is mild ("jerk," "stupid," etc.), and sexuality is mostly just flirting and discussing love/marriage, though there's one scene in which a couple is about to make out in a parked car. The movie is being released in both 2-D and 3-D versions; the 3-D one could be scarier for kids due to the finer line between fantasy and reality.
Messages: Teamwork and determination save the day here, but there's also a disrespect of authority figures who are shown as stupid and thoughtless.
Role models: Main character is a self-reliant and confident girl. The monsters save the humans even though humans are at first scared and disgusted by them.
Violence and scariness: Lots of gunfire and big explosions, including some alien deaths (one via accidental ray-gun shooting). A "good guy" character is attacked and thought to be dead. The alien robot shoots at and nearly destroys the Golden Gate Bridge, along with everyone on it; the monsters' fight against him is fairly intense. Buildings are crushed. The president instructs the military to "do something violent" when his negotiations with the alien robot fail.
Sexy stuff: A couple is in a parked car about to make out when an alien ship interrupts them. The general makes a gesture referring to Susan's breasts (but it will probably go over kids' head). BOB flirts with a Jell-o mold.
Language: Some insults and mild language like "jerk," "stupid," "boobies," "jerk," and "idiot." One exclamation of "Sweet Lord!" during a chaotic moment and an "oh my God" (as well as one use of "OMG!").
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Delores Knoedler, 73, of Brady passed away at her home at Jeffrey Lake on March 26, 2007.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 29, at American Lutheran Church in Gothenburg with the Rev. Matthew Groenke officiating. Burial will be at Fort McPherson National Cemetery Maxwell.
Visitation will be 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Wednesday (today) with family present from 6 -8 p.m. at Blase-Strauser Memorial Chapel.
Delores Lorene Knoedler was born on Sept. 19, 1933 in Gothenburg, the youngest of four children of Charlie and Hattie Peterson Anderson. She grew up north of Gothenburg in the Etna community and graduated from Gothenburg High School in 1950.
On Feb. 17, 1951 she was united in marriage to Harold E. Knoedler at St. John's Lutheran Church in Gothenburg where they made their home. They raised four children: Diane, Layne, Kirt and Nancy.
In October 1958, Knoedler and her husband opened an auto repair business called Rite-Way Auto Service. She became the bookkeeper for the business that they continued to operate until 1992.
In 1988, the couple sold their home in Gothenburg and moved to Jeffrey Lake south of Brady. She worked at Shores Bar & Grill in Brady for 12 years, retiring when the business closed in 2005.
?Knoedler enjoyed bowling for many years attending 42 consecutive state bowling tournaments, using her talent of cooking to prepare large meals for family gatherings and hosting friends and family at their lake home, family members said.
?Knoedler was preceded in death by her parents and a brother Wallace Anderson.
She is survived by: her husband Harold of Brady; children—Diane (Calvin) Streeter of Plugerville, TX; Layne (Lyn) Knoedler of Kearney; Kirt (Heidi) Knoedler of Gothenburg; and Nancy (Kenneth) Christensen of Gothenburg; a brother Wesley Andserson and a sister Opal Maline both of Gothenburg; 10 grandchildren—Brian Streeter, Aaron Streeter, Lance (Aimee) Knoedler, Lyndsey (Troy) Douglas, Joe Knoedler, Megan Knoedler, and Mark Rudma, Stacy (Andy) Kubik, Isaac Christensen, Eric Christensen; three great grandchildren—Brooklyn and Raegan Douglas and Adriana Christensen; special friend Jan Cromer of Brady.
Memorials can be directed to the Brady Volunteer Fire Department, American Lutheran Church, Callahan Cancer Center.
