text: Hello all, My name is Terry. I have recently exited the corporate world after 17 years in investment related business (financial analysis and trading). It has always been a dream of mine to be able to work outside doing something I enjoy while being in full control of my future. Through much prayer and thought I feel as though now is the time for me to move forward with this opportunity to start my own lawn care business. It is going to be tricky for me as my wife currently stays at home and home schools our three kids (10,8 & 5). Because of that it is imperative that I get in the green fast and have as good a plan as possible. My goal for this year would be 50-75 residential clients and possibly one or two commercial clients. My step dad has done a small business for the last 8 years so he's provided some guidance. He also has a couple of friends that have 6 figure mowing operations with just one helper. I have purchased a brand new 52" Wright Stander-X, a new 36" Wright Stander Intensity, a Husqvarna 580BTS blower and a new 77x12 utility trailer. I will be pulling it this first year with my 04 Toyota 4Runner. I also have purchased a Toro 826LE Snow Blower and a hitch cargo carrier to pull it around. I live in a suburb of Kansas City, MO. I will be taking the Certified Applicators Exam in Feb. I have a website www.forevergreenkc.com, business cards, some vehicle & trailer signage. I also have some Yard type signs for Snow removal which I will put out just before storms at key locations entering and exiting upper end subdivisions. Goal is to use snow removal as an avenue to promote my lawn business. I have just kind of started in the last month so don't have many clients. I've done a couple of leaf jobs from friends and Craigslist. I also have a couple of lawns lined up for next year but haven't truly pursued or targeted that yet. I have also got my commercial account setup at the Grasspad where I will purchase fertilizers and seed. I know this was sort of long but I just wanted to introduce myself and what stage my business is at and what all I have done to this point. If you can make any obvious observations of something I'm missing or overlooking feel free to let me know. I'm excited about this forum and the wealth of experience and knowledge that seems to be available here. A little more about me.....married with three kids, love to hunt and fish and go camping with the family. Also love my Mizzou Tigers!

Title: Cold at Heart
Ratings/Warnings: 1st/2nd Years—None
A/N: Another In the Ashes teaser…possibly. This occurs after Katie had left Oliver. He's…not taking it well.
The sound of the rain was drowned out by the wireless, but Oliver barely noticed either. The only thing he allowed in his mind was the drink in his hand. He couldn't think about her, not when the simple mention of her name made something inside him wither with anger.
He needed a cigarette. Pushing open the front door, he stood under the eaves to avoid the rain, but the noise of it hitting the pavement just droned katiekatiekatiekatiekatie.
Letting out a roar of frustration, the chill in his soul was reflected in the icicles that sprang from the eaves.

Emmy Chahal for CBC, Canada. - I was just wondering what the most valuable piece of advise you would give to an aspiring writer?
JK Rowling: Read as much as you can, I think that there is nothing as important, because that will really show you what makes good writing in your opinion, obviously it's very subjective. You will probably go through a phrase when you imitate your favourite writers and I think that is necessary and a good learning process.
After that, you just have to accept it takes a phenomenal amount of perseverence and the people who deserve to make it ... you probably will not like 90 per cent of what you write, one day you write a single page you like and build on that.
Hi, I'm a young writer here.
Those are J.K. Rowling's own words, everyone. For me, it may be a bit dificult to follow them, as excited as I was to find out that my absolute favorite writer of all time gave me adivce.
1) Read as much as you can. Check.
2) Go through a phase imitating your favorite writers. If fanfiction counts, then, infinite checks.
3) Perservere...... well, I don't think I'd live if I tried not to write. =)
4) You won't like 90% of your writing, so write a page you like and go from there. Haha, so true. That's why reviews matter! ;) They give you self confidence.
I really love the Harry Potter seiries, but I love Mugglenet's Fanfiction even more.
I have way too many favorite characters, but I especially love Lily Evans and Lily Potter. (And Neville, who goes without saying).
The only ships I don't support is Hermione/Draco, or Ginny/Draco. I personally think Draco would be better off living alone and childless. I know that sounds.... a bit.... mean, but Draco, I think, is generally a bad person, despite his reasons for acting bad.
About Snape: I recently went to Potted Potter a parody by Dan and Jeff, and they asked the crowd if Snape was good or bad. I embarrased myself by shouting 'Bad'.
However, I wholeheartedly agree that Snape was a very mean person. He was terrible to Harry, and pretty much everyone else, no matter how torn up inside he was. Snape's personally one of my favorite characters (if you didn't guess from 'Almost') and I have nothing against him. I just don't think he's 'good'.
I hope you like my stories.
Wow. Haven't been on here in a long time. ;) If anyone's interested in what I've been up to these days, I suggest you look up the author
Astrid Goes For A Spin
on Fanfiction.net. Don't worry, I haven't done any Harry Potter on there, unless you count my true work of art, my crossover. Now, no more spoilers!
Read on, and please, review!
Also, about reveiws - some of them I've forgotten to thank the reveiwer, but I really love getting reveiws, so to anyone I've forgotten, thanks for reveiwing!

Date: Friday, September 13th, 2013, 08:57
Category: News, Software
It's not the most exciting update in the world, but it might be helpful.
In addition to assorted other updates on Thursday, Apple released version 2.15.1 of its Epson printer driver update. The update, a 1.2 gigabyte download, modifies drivers for the ES and Expression, F-3200, Perfection and GT line of standalone scanners, and the Epson FAX and FAX-A3 fax machines. No new models of Epson products were added in the update, but the file replaces all existing Epson drivers with fresh copies, even if they are unmodified from the previous version.
The update covers OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
If you've tried the new printer drivers and have any feedback to offer, let us know in the comments.

Well, it is too late to decline Casey's third year option but it doesn't mean he has to coach it out.
Colangelo on the other hand, still has his third year option looming and it really should not be picked up.
The franchise needs to be flushed from top to bottom. #tradeBargnani; goodbye Jose; pack your bags Linas; and Amir you're going, going, back, back, to Cali, Cali. Bring in real talented prospects (Derrick Williams is a start), obtain picks in any way manner - even take on bad contracts.... like really bad contracts (and before you say, "But look at SAC and WSH!!" Guess what?? Those franchises suck too. Youth is not the problem - poor decisions and asset allocation resulting in minimal talent is the problem).
Casey has clearly lost the magical defensive touch from last season and more importantly he has lost the locker room (before you disagree, go to the mirror and ask yourself the question).
Colangelo's shine ran out in 2008 (sadly it took me 4 years to recognize that).
And so I bring to you the newest Twitter hashtag:
And don't forget old faithful that will be needed to start it all:

Operation Gelding Program Ends Summer with Four Clinics
- Aug 5, 2012
- Topics:
The Unwanted Horse Coalition's (UHC) Operation Gelding program completed its summer schedule with four clinics in May, June, and July. The Minnesota Horse Council, Patterson Animal Hospital, Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue, and Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue all hosted successful Operation Gelding clinics, castrating 66 stallions between the four organizations. The UHC's Operation Gelding program has aided in the gelding of 489 stallions to date.
The program, which was launched in Aug. 2010, is designed to offer funding assistance to organizations, associations, and events that wish to conduct a public gelding clinic under the name and guidelines of Operation Gelding. An organization that has completed an Operation Gelding clinic will receive funding of $50 per horse ($1,000 maximum) to aid in the costs associated with the clinic.
On May 5, Yalonda Burton, DVM, of Patterson Animal Hospital in Stillwell, Okla., gelded 18 equids at her veterinary clinic. This clinic marks Burton's second time hosting an Operation Gelding clinic with the help of the UHC.
"We were able to castrate 18 equines with the help of the UHC: 2 mules and 16 horses," Burton said. "We had student volunteers from Oklahoma State University student chapter of AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners) as well as a veterinarian from Goldsby, Okla., come to participate in this event. It was a great day and we all felt like we made an impact on our community.
"It was a wonderful opportunity to bond with some individuals from the horse world and people with similar goals for the horse industry," Burton added. "We appreciate all that the UHC has done to support this effort and realize that without their support, none of this would be possible. Thank you for the opportunity to participate."
Elsewhere, "the Minnesota Horse Council (MHC) with the Minnesota Horse Welfare Coalition (MHWC) castrated 22 horses with the help of six local equine veterinarians, and five veterinarians and 22 students from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine," said Tracy Turner, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, president of the MHC. "The clinic was held on May 19 at the Isanti Fairgrounds. This was the fourth clinic sponsored by the MHC and MHWC, which to date has castrated nearly 90 equids."
Meanwhile, the Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue hosted an Operation Gelding clinic in June in East Hampton with the help of Stacey Golub, DVM.
Finally, Natalee Cross of Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue, located in Jones, Okla., conducted her first Operation Gelding clinic at the end of July.
"The clinic went great." said Cross, "We had a very successful day. We castrated 14 horses." Cross was pleased with the outcome of their first clinic and looks forward to putting together more clinics for the horses and horse owners in her area in the future.
Ericka Caslin, UHC director, said, "With the two year anniversary of Operation Gelding coming up at the end of the summer, we are really pleased with the success of the program thus far. It is very encouraging to see the amount of interest and participation in the program. Participating organizations have helped hundreds of horses and horse owners in need and have done a wonderful job working together to help with the issue of unwanted horses. We look forward to organizing additional clinics for the fall."
The UHC continues to seek public support, via tax deductible donations, to extend the program year round. Each generous donation of $50 goes entirely toward funding the gelding of a stallion.
Upcoming Operation Gelding clinics will be held in the fall in Michigan, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
For more information about Operation Gelding, how to conduct a clinic, the schedule and location of Operation Gelding clinics, or how you can help continue this program, please contact Caslin at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202/296-4031.

Majid Torabi, MD
Helping His Patients Breathe Easy
In the world of yoga and deep breathing, there is a common saying: a healthy mind has an easy breath. If that is true, the patients of Majid Torabi, MD have him to thank. Board Certified in Otolaryngology, Dr. Torabi has worked his craft for more than two decades. "At first, I wanted to be a liver transplant surgeon," says Dr. Torabi. "However, I realized that the procedure was extremely complex and didn't afford a lot of interaction with the patient. I wanted to do general surgery but I also wanted to see my patients and to develop a history with them, so I made the switch."
A native of Iran, Dr. Torabi came to the United States in 1989 to complete his general surgery residency at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Upon completing this residency, he joined the head and neck surgery residency with the Department of Otolaryngology at the Charles Drew/ University of California, Los Angeles Medical Education Program. He was soon off to Kentucky to set up a multi-specialty practice.
In 2004, Dr. Torabi and his family moved to the Coachella Valley where he began practicing at his office on the campus of Eisenhower Medical Center. While he provides a variety of Ear, Nose and Throat services, more than 50 percent of his practice is focused on his specialty, rhinology, also known as sinus surgery. Dr. Torabi, Section Chief of Eisenhower's Otolaryngology department, performs balloon sinuplasty, a less invasive, outpatient procedure for chronic sinusitis that offers faster recovery than traditional sinus surgery.
Dr. Torabi also performs endoscopic septoplasty, which can correct a deviated or dislocated septum. "This minimally invasive procedure does not require packing in the nasal cavity which makes it more comfortable for the patient in the recovery stage because they can breathe through their nose."
Devoted to his family and married for 20 years, Dr. Torabi has two sons with one in college. "I really enjoy spending time with my family hiking or swimming, or playing games with my 12 year old. And when I get the chance, I love to read a good book."

Excellence in Care Guarding Against Sudden Cardiac Death
A lot has been said lately of the dangers of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease. In the January/February 2005 Healthy Living, "Sudden Cardiac Death, The Other Silent Killer," explores the subject in alarming detail.A major concern in America, SCD causes approximately 340,000 deaths each year among adults – without being hospitalized or admitted to an emergency department.
The Electrophysiology Lab at Eisenhower Smilow Heart Center is committed to fighting this deadly condition and incorporates the latest technologies in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, or ICDs, which have recently proven to be an effective guard against Sudden Cardiac Death.These stopwatch-sized devices monitor heart rates and send electronic shock waves to the heart whenever there's a fast heart rate or a lethal heart rhythm.
On March 8, 2004, a landmark study known as the SCD-HeFT Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial), showed that ICDs reduced death by 23 percent in people with moderate heart failure and poor heart pumping function. Patients who have experienced heart failure are at greater risk of going into lethal heart rhythm.
In the past, the only patients who received defibrillators where those who had had an episode of Sudden Cardiac Collapse," says Andrew M. Rubin, MD, Director of the Electrophysiology Lab at the Eisenhower Smilow Heart Center. "Now we consider anyone who has moderate-to-severe heart muscle weakness from any etiology as a potential candidate for an ICD."
Earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that it would be expanding Medicare coverage of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators to include patients with heart failure and poor pumping function. Last year, approximately 180 Eisenhower Smilow Heart Center patients received an ICD.

(Drama for Students)
Sharon Pollock was born on April 19, 1936, in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Named Mary Sharon Chambers, she was the daughter of a physician and politician. Her mother died when she was sixteen, evidently a suicide. She studied at the University of New Brunswick but dropped out to marry Ross Pollock, a Toronto insurance broker, with whom she had five children before the marriage ended.
Pollock then became involved in theatre in New Brunswick and later moved on to Calgary, Canada. In 1971, after having worked as an actress, she began to write plays Her first work to be staged was Walsh, which was produced in 1973. The play examines the Canadian government's treatment of Native North Americans. Like Walsh, her subsequent work often deals with political themes. The Komagata Maru Incident, which was first produced in 1976, addresses the issue of racism.
Blood Relations was first produced in 1980 (although an early version of the play was produced in 1976 under the title My Name Is Lisabeth) and signaled a shift in Pollock's drama towards the individual as seen in family and social relationships. The play earned Pollock a Governor General's Literary Award, the first time a published dramatic work received such an honor. A second Governor General's Award came to Pollock for Doc, produced m 1984. This play later evolved into Family Trappings and is based on autobiographical material about Pollock's...

Attacks on Tea Party inaccurateWritten by Admin
- font size decrease font size increase font size
To the Editor:
The gangland-style, fist pounding threat to "take out the sons of b_____s shouted by union leader Jimmy Hoffa Jr. is just the latest in a string of name-calling aimed at the Tea Party by Democrat leaders. Mind you not citizens but leaders! Democrat Vice President Joe Biden has called tea partiers "terrorists" and "the barbarians at the door."
Congresswoman Maxine Waters told her audience that the Tea Party can "go to hell." Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid makes an amazing claim that Tea Partiers are, "not American people." In other recent speeches Democrats have claimed Tea Partiers are racists and slave masters. This offensive language, the threats and totally untrue accusations should be condemned by all ordinary citizens.
The Tea Party is not a political party but rather a growing number of mainstream citizens — the silent majority, silent no more — who believe in and are working for the following: a smaller less intrusive government, lower taxes, reduced spending, a continued free enterprise system, state sovereignty and adherence to the U.S. Constitution. These tenets are Tea Party goals for local and the federal government. More and more people agree with these objectives and as a result the Tea Party is attracting countless citizens who enthusiastically support these principles.
The Tea Party was founded as a Taxed Enough Already movement. From those beginnings the movement has grown to include multiple Tea Party groups in every state in the country. My husband and I are active in the Tea Party Patriots of Jackson County group. We attend the monthly meetings and have attended the two massive rallies in Washington, D.C., in 2009 and 2010. At these meetings and rallies actions, statements or speeches were exceptionally civil and in no way terrorizing, barbaric, racist or something that should be sent to hell …. certainly the events are not un-American.
What is the purpose of the Democrat leaders' disgraceful outbursts and angry rhetoric? Last I heard is that free speech is a standard in the USA, so they are entitled to their opinion albeit inaccurate stated in offensive language. However, it is obvious the impetus for such words is that Democrats loathe not just the Tea Party but more importantly their influence on elections. By the same token, the Tea Party is at liberty to speak, meet and increase in numbers. Anyone who wishes to experience this extraordinary movement is welcome to attend the Tea Party Patriots of Jackson County meetings on the third Thursday each month at Ryan's in Sylva.

Debate over NRC regulations picks up speed on and off Capitol Hill
Republicans and watchdog groups are pitted against each other in a heated debate over "How safe is safe enough?" when it comes to nuclear power and how much the industry can absorb in new costs following the Fukushima disaster in Japan.
A host of GOP lawmakers, including Senate Environment and Public Works Committee ranking member David Vitter (R-La.) and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.), have called on Allison Macfarlane, the chairwoman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to slow the implementation of new rules for plant operators stemming from the Japanese crisis.
The commission is beefing up security at U.S. plants after three reactors at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant were crippled by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Emergency diesel generators needed to keep the units cool were washed away, allowing hydrogen to build up and trigger explosions and radioactive leaks.
NRC, Republicans have said, is moving too quickly with costly rules and is failing to consider Japanese and American differences, both cultural and in regard to nuclear safety (E&E Daily, Feb. 6). Republicans have said NRC should review differences in nuclear safety policies between the two countries to determine whether those in Japan made the Fukushima plant more vulnerable.
But Ed Lyman, a senior scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in a letter to Macfarlane that such an analysis wouldn't help resolve safety concerns but instead would divert the agency's attention.
"Especially in a time of budget austerity, we do not support directing the NRC staff to divert scarce resources away from their core mission to pursue a time-consuming academic exercise," he wrote.
But the safety question is more than a simple political spat "between the left versus the right this week," and is actually a critical policy discussion that should be debated in the halls of Congress and decided by NRC commissioners, said Lake Barrett, a former DOE official and nuclear consultant.
A host of new NRC rules stemming from Fukushima could impose new costs on the industry and contribute to the retirement of some older reactors that are already facing stiff competition from natural gas and low demand.
One rule that has drawn the ire of the GOP and the nuclear industry is the NRC staff's proposal for plant operators to install venting systems at a third of U.S. reactors, systems that could help prevent hydrogen explosions. The systems could cost operators anywhere from $15 million to $45 million, and the Nuclear Energy Institute has said requiring the systems is unnecessary.
"You start adding [regulations] up and yeah, it can make a difference between 'This plant is economical' and 'Let's start using gas,'" Barrett said. "Is it the added straw that broke the camel's back? Maybe."
Lyman said NRC staffers have provided ample evidence to back up their conclusion that filters are a "prudent, efficient, cost-effective measure" that could reduce radioactive emissions during an emergency. "The presence of filters will give operators the confidence to use the vents if needed to reduce containment pressure if the status of the reactor core is unknown, as was the case at Fukushima," he said.
The debate also has political ramifications, ones that touch on climate change.
President Obama has recently elevated the issue of climate change, and nuclear power is a carbon-free energy source, Barrett noted. Although gas is cheap, prices could rise in the future -- as they have in the past -- and utilities are trying to diversify their portfolio, he said.
Members of a panel hosted by Bloomberg Energy and NEI this week echoed those sentiments.
Former Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who now works for Duke Energy Corp., said the utility must carefully balance how much cheap gas it uses because prices could potentially rise. Gas is "extremely affordable at the present time, but what is the sustainability over the long haul, not only this decade but the decades to come?" Shuler said.
Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), who also sat on the panel, said that nuclear power must be a crucial part of any plan to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Shimkus noted that his state obtains 50 percent of its electricity from nuclear.
"If we move down on the climate change debate, you can't argue that the emissions really is a positive benefit in this whole worldwide agenda," he said.

Now after the Khitomer Accords the Federation and Klingons were strained but after Nerranda III a friendship blossomed. By the time that the Dominion War arrived did the Klingon Neutral Zone still exist or had it been marked void as both powers had close ties? Or was the Neutral Zone still established as a "just in case"?

No need to spend a lot of money on lessons!
Inexpensive Ways to Expand Your Child's Imagination
by Olivia Fox

You don't need to spend gobs of money on art or music lessons, or even computers and batteries, to encourage a young child's imagination. Use easily gotten stuff and mix in a little whimsy.
Hats, sashes and capes make wonderful props. If you don't have any of your own, make turbans from scrap fabric, use scarves, or pick up crazy hats for a song at thrift stores. Capes are made by simply gathering rectangular material and attaching ties. They are easy to sew from a decent sized piece of fabric or an old bath towel. When your child dresses up, pretend you're a reporter. "Who are you?" "Do you have any special powers?" "What's your favorite food?" "Where have you traveled?" "Describe you most exciting adventure."
Your child chooses three characters or objects for their story. One recurring combination at our house was a little boy, a mad scientist mouse, and a caterpillar. The first person starts with the first sentence, the next person invents the second and so on, until the story finishes or becomes too silly to continue. "The caterpillar ate everyone up, gave a big burp, and exploded. The end."
Ask your child about their drawing. What happened before? What happened after? Transcribe the story in his/her own words. (We printed ours out on the computer in large type, a sentence on each page, leaving space for illustrations at the top. Writing it out by hand works too.) Read what they wrote aloud as the child draws corresponding pictures. Staple the pages together with the title and by line on the cover. Our eldest son's "Soup with Broken Wheels In It" became his bedtime favorite for weeks.
I love kid-sized spaces, particularly tree forts. When there's no tree, rig up a space on ground level from a big box. We got several from a dollar store and stuck them together. A pillow and bedding transforms it into a comfy retreat for reading or dreaming.
Listen to music together. Check if a nearby library has loaners. Go for pieces that evoke pictures in your mind, like the 1812 Overture, Pictures at an Exhibition, Grand Canyon Suite, or Carnival of the Animals. As it's playing, the child describes or draws what they "see." Encourage them to add to the music. Give them spoons, a spoon and pot, dried beans in a jar, or use more conventional music makers like kazoos or voice.
My youngest went through gobs of poster board and masking tape. He constructed Rube Goldberg inventions and all kinds of wild sculptural objects. Any cardboard thin enough to cut with safety scissors works, like shirt cardboard. If he's stumped for ideas, suggest a monster, mask, building, or vehicle.
Insects are intricately designed. They have three parts, which are the head, thorax and abdomen, as well as compound eyes and six legs. Bird's beaks and claws are specially suited for their particular food and how they live. Mammal's fur and coloring camouflages and warms them. Take your child for a nature walk or give them a picture book to study, then suggest they invent their own creature. What's its name? What does it eat? Does it play games? How does it build a house?
As you see, there's plenty of ways to go. Add your own. Enjoy the new worlds you and your children discover along the way.

The question is, what does RFS have to say about this?
He's older than the rest of us put together. Plus three.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
I love the line in "It's a Wonderful Life" - "Youth is wasted on the young." When I was younger (and I just turned 58), I remember reading something about some writer who had turned 100 and she was asked how she wrote stories about young people with such vitality. Her reply was simple, "I am that young person."
When I was very young in the 60's (you can do that math), we heard the anthem that said "Hope I die before I get old." We heard you were "over-the-hill at 30." I realized when I hit 30 that everyone who said that was either 40 or dead (a lot of them checked out before they hit the big 3-0).
I had a neighbor who passed away in the late summer, a few months shy of her 105th birthday (no, that's not a typo). She lived in my Cincinnati city neighborhood her entire life. She told me about the people who lived in the house next to mine who tied a pony up in their side yard where a house now sits. She may well have been the person who lived in one neighborhood the longest of anyone who has ever lived in the city of Cincinnati.
Until December 28, 2010, my children had all four of their grandparents. On that day my wife's father died at 88, and in October a year ago, my Mom passed away at 83. Good long lives.
My father-in-law died suddenly that night, but what a last day of a life; lived with a nice lunch with his oldest son, me, and two of his grandsons where he told us plainly that none of us have figured out how to beat this deal (no dying); had a great meal with family, some extra fudge and cookies and then just dropped dead while he and my son went to take the trash out. My Mom on the other hand, saw it coming, as her health deteriorated over a year. She told me one day, "I'm dying" and said I knew that and asked how it felt. "It's scary," she said. In her last week, we gathered with her and one afternoon when I was leaving, she hugged me and said "you know what was a lot of fun?". I asked her what and she said "going to see 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou" which I'd taken her to see because she loved to laugh and I wanted to hear her laugh at that movie. The day the palliative care team came in to see her about end of love care the doctor asked how she was doing. She asked him if she'd ever seen the movie "The Princess Bride" and when he said he had, she said that was how she felt, "mostly dead". She loved a good joke.
My point? My youngest daughter and I were talking when my next older brother was dying from cancer when he was 49. She said it wasn't fair and I agreed. I told her I'd done a lot of genealogy work over the years and one thing you learn is, you're related to a lot of dead people. I told her it wasn't fair when my great-great grandfather died at age 43 from a bee sting or when my own grandfather died at 44 from a blood clot. And I told her something akin to what my father-in-law said, "none of us are getting out this alive." Hell, she was maybe 16, but it's a lesson to learn in life because it's true. And it doesn't take one bit away from the wonder of life, no matter how hard or tragic it may ever be.
It's a wonder each morning you wake up. Our society sells us a bill of goods, if you will, especially over the last 50 years or so, telling us that only youth matters. Life matters and each day, again, is a wonder. I don't fear death, I enjoy life and am grateful to have every breath I'll get. And while I have a particular religious faith, I don't think that's essential for one to have those beliefs. It's all a gift.

When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
The only thing sad about dying is dying with regret. Tell everyone you love that you love them every day, and do your best to show them that you do. Be happy, and make other people happy, and you won't have any regrets.

A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published. After the editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50
cents a word, she pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then, let it read 'Fred Brown died'."
Confounded at the woman's thrift, the editor stammers that there is a 7-word minimum for all obituaries. The woman pauses again, counts on her fingers and replies, "In that case, 'Fred Brown died: 1983 Pick-up for sale'."
A Packer fan was enjoying himself at the game in a packed Lambeau Field, until he noticed an empty seat down in front. He went down and asked the guy next to it if he knew whose seat it was. The guy said, "Yes, that's my wife's seat. We have never missed a game since the Lombardi days, but now my wife is dead." The fan offered his sympathy and said it was really too bad he couldn't find some relative to give the ticket to so they could enjoy the game together... "Oh no," the guy said, "they're all at the funeral."

Not offensive at all. I just hope all of you young whipper-snappers have the memory of your fav MLB team winning the World Series before the Grim Reaper comes to get you. Advantage old-guys and old-girls!
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
fortunately alot of us older people made it to this stage in life and most of us are very grateful for it... the real question to be asked is what about the younger folks that didnt make it to this point that got cheated out of this precious stage of their life and how their familys must have felt.so i say we all must live every day like its our last and enjoy the ride goodluck to all of you if your so fortunate to get to that point in your lifes.and yes reach out to your family and friends that has reached this point and tell them you would like more time with them.

If only we could hear Brian Cashman say this today, after confirming that Andy Pettitte will come out of retirement and start for the New York Yankees this Sunday:
"On second thought, Andy might have misunderstood what I said before about returning to the majors. I think I mis-remember saying that. Is it 50-50 that we'll bring him back? I'd say that's fair."
Nah, that won't happen, because the Yankees' general manager, while misguided, is true to his word. You can't say that about the 39-year-old pitcher he's bringing back, straight out of image rehab in a federal courtroom in Washington. A failed image rehab, mind you, but that apparently doesn't matter to the Yankees, or their fans, or baseball.
Can Pettitte throw the scattered remains of his once-pristine reputation for honesty and integrity out the window? That doesn't matter as long as he can throw six solid innings.
Welcome, then, to the stumbling, sputtering end to baseball's steroid era, at least the big-name, big-headline, loud-talk portion of it.
Baseball surely isn't free of performance-enhancing drugs (nobody's that utopian about this, no matter how stringent the testing program has been), but at least rosters aren't still littered with tainted players and every accomplishment isn't being brought into immediate doubt. Nearly all the biggest (alleged) offenders are gone; many have been gone so long that their turn on Hall of Fame ballots has arrived.
— Yankees need plenty out of Pettitte
— Pettitte: I may have misunderstood Clemens
Yet the Yankees have chosen to bring back one of the star miscreants and put him back in the limelight—exactly where, you would think, nobody in baseball wants someone with the scarlet "S" to be right now. Seeing Alex Rodriguez climb the home-run list and hearing Ryan Braun's greetings on the road apparently aren't uncomfortable enough for everybody.
Honestly, baseball, you really want to have Andy Pettitte and all his baggage cluttering up your game?
This wasn't exactly a fresh tale of redemption even before Pettitte took the stand in Roger Clemens' perjury trial last week. It's also not terribly clear—to anyone outside the Yankees' front office, at least—what makes Pettitte the savior for their injury-shredded pitching staff more than anybody else would be.
But at least it could be sold to the public with a fairly straight face. The pitch was this: Pettitte sinned, but he came clean and planted his feet on the side of integrity by informing on his long-time best friend, workout partner and role model, Clemens, when Congress accused him of lying to them.
Now, after a year off, the postseason hero, pinstripe legend and discussion-worthy Cooperstown candidate was going to get a chance for one last fling, rested and healthy and purged of his demons. He just needed to get this final star-witness thing out of the way, then he'd loosen up in the minors and ride back to the Bronx on his noble white steed, a hero for a third decade.
FROM SI.com
— Power Rankings: Yankees drop
— Verducci: Pujols' slump is stunning
It sounded good—until Pettitte got on the stand in D.C. and was struck down with sudden amnesia.
Everything he had told Congress four years ago at the start of the Clemens soap opera, and everything he had just told the U.S. attorney in the perjury trial, became a vapor under cross-examination by Clemens' lawyer. You can read the actual transcript … or you can re-watch Frankie Pentangeli do the same thing, only more colorfully, in "The Godfather Part II."
Thus, the comeback theme for Pettitte remained intact. The heroic theme, not so much.
This is what the Yankees and Major League Baseball get with Pettitte now. The talk can turn to what he has left as a pitcher, or it can turn to his revival of the ugly past everyone has fought to put behind them the past few years.
Worse, it can turn to what everyone had been sold about Pettitte and the other users who were busted in the Mitchell Report or by other means. How sorry they were, how they'd used only a couple of times and only out of desperation, not like those real cheaters.
How we swallowed it like the suckers we are.
Pettitte got to play it both ways for more than four years … and almost got away with it this time, until he showed that the memory lapses of his buddy Roger were contagious.
Then again, Pettitte will be back on the mound in the big leagues Sunday.
Congratulations, New York Yankees and Major League Baseball. You let him get away with it again.

HSO208 - Analysis of Occupational Performance
Unit details
|2018 unit information
|Enrolment modes:
|Trimester 2: Waterfront (Geelong)
|Credit point(s):
|EFTSL value:
|Cohort rule:
This unit is only available to students enrolled in H355 Bachelor of Occupational Therapy
|Unit chair:
Pearse Fay
All of HSE102, HSO202, HSO207
|Incompatible with:
|Contact hours:
1 x 1 hour class and 1 x 2 hour seminar per week, 3 x 2-4 hour individual site visits
The unit aims to provide students with an understanding of the range of factors that can both enhance and be a barrier to the occupational performance of individuals. Students will be introduced to the skills and method of task analysis to identify the physical, cognitive, behavioural, psychosocial and contextual factors that can influence a person's ability to perform everyday activities. From the framework of task analysis, students will apply this approach to a range of occupations and workplace scenarios.

I was happily listening to a Genealogy Guys podcast as I drove to work the other day, and my attention was particularly caught by an email they read and discussed briefly toward the end. The email was from a guy who had emailed them before about how to get copies of some family information he had discovered was in a library. He was living too far away to make going to the library feasible and was stuck. George and Drew (who are big library supporters) had suggested that their correspondent contact the librarian and ask some questions about exactly what the library held and how to get copies. The current email reported a big success. This reminded me that I have myself found valuable family information in libraries (that I would not have thought to look in), and the combination led me to decide to post today about some of the places I have learned to explore for aspects of family history that are not the traditional places.
First, I learned from my professional office partner years ago that emailing or calling people who might have information you want often works very well. Now, maybe you don't need to be told this. Maybe it is really easy for you to pick up the phone and call someone to ask for help/a favor/information that is their area of expertise. This is something that is very difficult for me to do, and so wasn't something I automatically thought of when I had a question. The widespread use of email has helped, although I have also learned to make those phone calls if I really want something.
So where have I found family history information or documents? My list includes: College/university archives and Special Collections; the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center library; eBay alerts; various Town Halls.
One of the first places I discovered was various college and university archives as I began to track down the education of different family members. I was trying to trace my mother-in-law's education and she wasn't alive to ask.So I started emailing the three universities she had reportedly graduated from. In my experience, the school's archivist (or someone in that office) is almost always willing to direct you to the right person to get student transcripts from (assuming that the archives doesn't hold them, which they sometimes do). You can also get copies of schedules for the time period (when classes started, when breaks were, when graduations happened, etc). Sometimes you strike it rich and there are yearbooks or class pictures which you can get copies from. I got a first year of law school picture for my father-in-law that way. I now also have a copy of my Grandpa Lyle's transcript from his one year of college in Ohio. (I'm still searching for my mother-in-law's education beyond her college graduation. She attended a Master's program at the University of Chicago for parts of two years but left without graduating.)
At college or university websites it also can pay off to explore the Special Collections catalog. I found a whole collection for the Sweet family that included an ancestral tree anda number of photographs of my family members. I have to admit that I didn't find this one by browsing their catalog, but was pointed at it by someone else referring to it – I think in an online family tree. I also found a collection that has pictures of the family of Judy's favorite, the Davies mansion, in the Yale library collections. Judy and I plan to go together to see this collection one of these days. Finding aids for the collections, when they are available, tell you more clearly what is in a collection (as my sister-in-law the librarian and archivist would tell you).
The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center deserves special mention for several resources it has online. Also for the wonderful responsiveness of its librarians/reference workers. The obituary collection it maintains is now also available on Ancestry.com, but I prefer to go to the original site (the horse's mouth as it were). If you want to order a copy of anything you find, you have to go to the site to order it anyway. While the strength of the resource is finding Ohio people, there are sometimes people from other places included. For example, my grandfather-in-law was found there because his death was an accident involving a car and a train and it was reported in the local newspaper in the Indiana county just across the state line from Ohio. Also sometimes people who either themselves were from Ohio but didn't die there or whose parents were get included. Besides obituaries there are other papers and references to biographical sketches etc. in the same database which is searchable by last name. I got information about several of my Snow and Denman line, as well as Shelton just recently. And I scored early by finding a whole folder of letters written by a cousin who was doing genealogy in the days when you had to write letters. She corresponded with one of the Hayes librarians and told him about what she was trying to find for several different family lines.
EBay alerts is something I actually have written about before, at least in passing. That was how I found the collection of Shelton pictures that I acquired. I first learned about doing this from Lisa Louise Cooke's podcasts, and I try to keep several active. You do a search for something on eBay, like the place your relatives came from for example and then save it with instructions to email you when there is anything new. You have to sign up for an eBay account, which is free, in order to save your searches. Right now, I have 3 active searches, for Wakeman Ohio, Clermont county Ohio, Ohio Military Institute. I get hits for Wakeman fairly often, and little for the other two. I'm still hoping for a year book for my father's senior year at the Ohio Military Institute.
Last, but not least: whenever you have to be in a Town Hall for genealogy information ask about local books or booklets. I bought a booklet done for the bicentennial of Neversink Township years ago, and it has all sorts of bonuses for me. Including an image (unfortunately not very clear at all) of the original deed to William Denman for the land he settled the family on originally. Also a transcript of a letter about those original Denmans, which described their living circumstances as seen by a visitor in 1797 when they were still living in a log lean-to. In another case I learned of a book about the town (Ashford Connecticut) that I was able to purchase. It has a history of the town from its beginnings, various pictures and lists of various groups (like early selectmen, etc.). This one not only includes a couple of my relatives, but also helps me see the context of their lives in that place and time.

This issue has been addressed, as recently as last fall. After Bloomsburg, the Board created a Rally Review Committee. I am that committee chairman.
One of the things we did was conduct a survey. Actually, there were several surveys:
There there three groups surveyed:
1) Vendors
2) Key Committee Chairs
3) 2000 randomly selected BMW MOA members
We chose the vendors and the "Key" committee chairs because let's face it folks: without these hard working key committee chairs and the big turn-out of the vendors, we could not do the rally as we do it today. The third group was created by creating a computer-generated randomized list of members. Their survey was marginally different in that we wanted to know additional questions, such as - how they felt about Regional Events and smartphone applications.
I will work with Greg Feeler to pull all of the information together and post it here. Stand by. This may take a few days to pull all of that information together so that it is a readable format.

What caused global warming 55 million years ago?
A runaway spurt of global warming 55 million years ago turned Earth into a hothouse but how this happened remains worryingly unclear, scientists said on Monday.
Previous research into this period, called the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM, estimates the planet's surface temperature blasted upwards by between five and nine degrees Celsius in just a few thousand years.
The Arctic Ocean warmed to 23 C, or about the temperature of a lukewarm bath.
How PETM happened is unclear but climatologists are eager to find out, as this could shed light on aspects of global warming today.
What seems clear is that a huge amount of heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases — natural, as opposed to man-made — were disgorged in a very short time.
The theorized sources include volcanic activity and the sudden release of methane hydrates in the ocean.
But all this CO2 can only account for between one and 3.5 C of PETM's warming if the models for climate sensitivity are right, the team found.
There must have been some other factor that stoked temperatures higher.
Even though there are big differences between Earth's geology and ice cover then and now, the findings are relevant as they highlight the risk of hidden mechanisms that add dramatically to warming, says the paper.

Название: The Enola Gay: The B-29 That Dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima
Автор: Norman Polmar
Издательство: Brassey's Inc.
Год: 2004
Страниц: 98
Формат: PDF в RAR
Размер: 28.45МБ
Язык: английский
The world entered the atomic age in August 1945, when the B-29 Superfortress nicknamed Enola Gay flew some 1,500 miles from the island of Tinian and dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. The "Little Boy" bomb exploded with the force of 12.5 kilotons of TNT, nearly destroying the city. Three days later, another B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The Japanese government, which had been preparing a bloody defense against an invasion, surrendered six days later. The aircraft was the primary artifact in an exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum from 1995 to 1998. The original, controversial exhibit script was changed, and the final exhibition attracted some 4 million visitors, testifying to the enduring interest in the aircraft and its mission. This book tells the story of the Enola Gay, the Boeing B-29 program, and the combat operations of the B-29 type.

According to what i found on another board (not posting it since it would be kinda advertising)
TAR filming was spotted at the Auckland Airport on 2/21/04 at 11 AM.
First team was 11 AM
6th/last team was 1:30 PM
There were NO male/male teams
It was an arrival, therefore some tasks in New Zealand
This does make the Phillipines spolier possibly true (the spolier said they were visiting on Feb 24th).
And thats it...been proven true by many on the board I found it on.

'Bring them home' plea for sailors
The families of the four missing British sailors urged rescuers to "bring our loved ones home" as the search to find them resumed.
The four men - experienced captain Andrew Bridge, 22, and crew members James Male, 23, Steve Warren, 52, and Paul Goslin, 56 - have been missing since their yacht capsized in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday.
The US Coast Guard, who called off the search on Sunday, have now had a change of heart .
The men's families travelled to London and said they had a "very positive" meeting with foreign minster Hugh Robertson.
Speaking on the steps of the Foreign Office in Whitehall, J ames Male's father Graham Male said: "We have just had a very positive meeting and can confirm the search is continuing with immediate effect.
"We would like to thank the UK, the US and Canadian governments and coastguards for making this possible. We would sincerely like to thank the public, the celebrities, the yachting community and the merchant vessels without whom we would never have got this far.
"Please do continue to show your support by continuing to sign the online petitions. Now let's bring our loved ones home."
The families then went to the US Embassy in London to meet the homeland attache.
Cressida Goslin, wife of Paul Goslin, said they had been set to call on Prime Minister David Cameron to apply pressure on US president Barack Obama after the Coast Guard called off their search, but now do not need to.
She said: "It's been a complete emotional rollercoaster. We've had discussions with the Foreign Office in the night even though the US wouldn't budge and then we thought they would, and then they wouldn't.
"We're just really pleased.
"Hopes are still high, they've got much higher in the last hour.
"It's worked. And all the media attention has really helped and we're so grateful to everyone."
Ms Goslin said that "you can't argue with" the fact that two days had been lost, but accepted that the weather conditions would not have helped.
"It would have been difficult for air support to have the visibility to do anything anyway so if we've only got a limited amount of searching we need it when it's good visibility," she said.
The crew of the 40ft Cheeki Rafiki ran into difficulties about 620 miles east of Cape Cod in Massachusetts last Thursday while returning to the UK from a regatta in Antigua. Contact with the yacht was lost in the early hours of Friday when they diverted to the Azores.
The Coast Guard, Canadian aircraft and three merchant vessels searched for them throughout Friday and Saturday but called off efforts on Sunday at 5am local time amid treacherous weather.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "My thanks to the US Coast Guard, which has resumed its search for our missing yachtsmen."
Mr Bridge's grandmother Valerie said: "We are delighted. It might not come to anything but people want them to do it and they are trying. It seemed too quick, just two days and we were saying 'if only they could do it (search) for a bit longer'. You never know what could happen."
By 3.30pm today more than 197,200 had signed an online petition supporting the campaign to resume the search. Nicola Evans, Mr Bridge's friend who started the petition, said the missing men have now been given a "fighting chance".
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the local MP for one of the missing men, had appealed to the US Coast Guard not to give up, while entrepreneur and adventurer Sir Richard Branson urged vessels near the area to keep a lookout.
Some 4,000 square miles were scanned for the vessel's two personal location GPS beacons until no more transmissions were received from the small devices, which have a short battery life.
On Saturday, a cargo vessel which was helping with the search spotted and photographed an overturned hull which matched the description of the Cheeki Rafiki but reported no signs of people on board or a life raft.
Dame Ellen MacArthur, who twice broke the world record for fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe, said there was "every chance" that the sailors were still alive either inside the hull or in the life raft.
Mike Golding, one of the few yachtsmen to have sailed around the world non-stop in both directions, said: "From the images, the yacht has lost the keel, initially they were sinking, taking on water.
"One imagines they put out the mayday, prepared themselves for sinking, then the keel fell off, maybe the boat rolled over fast and the question is: what happened at that point? Were they able to launch the life raft at that point?"
Four-time Olympic sailing champion Sir Ben Ainslie told BBC News: "If there is a chance they are still out there, then we need to keep looking for them, so it is fantastic news that the US Coast Guard have agreed to get back out there. They should be commended for that."
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to sail non-stop round the world, said: "The US Coast Guard and US Navy are the best at this, they have the most experience and they have the assets."
Efforts should be focused towards "just one more sweep downwind of where the hull was discovered", he suggested "so that people can feel that everything that could be done has been done".
In the meeting Mr Robertson assured the families that the G overnment has been in constant contact with the US and it " will do everything possible to try and locate these missing yachtsmen."
The US Coast Guard said that several aircraft and vessels are now trying to find the yachtsmen.
Crews from the US Coast Guard, US Air Force, Canadian military are now "en route".
From the air, the operation includes the HC-130 Hercules aircraft from the US Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, the US Coast Guard Cutter Vigorous, from Cape May, New Jersey, and a US Air Force C-130 aircraft from Moody Air Force Base, in Valdosta, Georgia. The Canadian military C-130 aircraft is part of the operation.
A 672-ft motor vessel Premium Do Brasil, with the 751-ft motor vessel AM Hamburg, the 600-ft motor vessel Bow Flora, the 477-ft motor vessel Chem Venus, and the 551-ft motor vessel Independent Accord have also been pressed in to action.
In a statement the US Coast Guard also noted: "The 1st Coast Guard District covers from New Jersey to Canada with search and rescue duties extending approximately 1,300 miles from shore. Units across the Northeast conduct more than 2,500 search and rescue cases in a year, and rescue more than 300 people."
In its statement the US Coast Guard recalled that an overturned hull that matched the description of the Cheeki Rafiki was seen but no sign of the sailors on Saturday at approximately 12pm.
It added: "Rescue crews located small debris fields, indicating that search patterns were accurate, but there were no signs of life or a life raft.
"The active search was suspended at 5am, Sunday after two days of searching with no indication of surviving crew members."
