10,000 Lakes Festival, Soo Pass Ranch, Detroit Lakes, MN – 7/22-25
Step right up, to the beautiful tree-lined rolling hills surrounding the Soo Pass Ranch- site of the 7th annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF). 2009's diverse lineup promised to be sensational and indeed the campgrounds filled up quickly. Heavy hitters Widespread Panic, Wilco (the band!), and an expanded and inspired Dave Matthews Band propelled the festival to near record attendance. Surrounding the core of jam-oriented rock, one might experience hip-hop, electronica, funk, soul, bluegrass, metal (or at least Umphrey's brand of it!) and just about any cross-genre combination imaginable. Good vibes abound here as fans and artists take pleasure in the rustic natural setting, temperate weather (read: usually not 95 degrees), good-natured staff and terrific music. Smiles are the norm, and upon critical inspection of the musicians playing 10KLF, the veterans are always enjoying themselves and the up and comers are energetic and eager to please. Something in the water of Northern Minnesota does this to the artists, festivarians and staff members of 10KLF every year.
Patchy spots of ominous, dark clouds and cool winds punctuated with intermittent sunshine the first afternoon foreshadowed the roller coaster ride that would be the next four days. The main stage was alive on the first night of the festival for the first time in 10KLF's history with Gomez warming up the crowd for Widespread Panic. Although the crowd didn't need much priming, Gomez still delivered with bone numbing bass lines and infectious poppy grooves, clearly showing their influences by performing the Led Zeppelin classic, 'Bron Y Aur Stomp.' A 90's progressive rock feel came through with sounds reminiscent of Live, Smashing Pumpkins and a melodic quality similar to that of Dave Matthews.
Widespread Panic must have been feeling the vibes, too, starting out funky segueing 'Old Neighborhood' into 'Weight of the World,' sounding at times like Bowie's 'Fame.' A spirited 'Bear's Gone Fishing' wandered its way through 'North' and into standard but tight 'Can't Get High' to keep the funk going. After letting the fans breathe, the pace was picked up again strongly closing the first set with an epic 'Junior,' featuring soaring solos from Jimmy Herring as well as a blistering guitar duel between Herring and guitarist, John Bell, that churned the crowd into a frenzied state of ecstasy. Embarking on a mellow course with 'Contentment Blues,' the second set ratcheted up the intensity as the band comfortably increased the tempo, finding its stride midway through the syrupy smooth 'Driving Song' and voyaging into 'Hatfield.' Dark and electrifying, Jerry Joseph's 'Chainsaw City' rounded out a night defined by Herring's shredding, JB's raw and penetrating vocals and Dave School's bass lines shaking the soul, Widespread delivered the goods and brought down the house.
Intensity, heat and energy continued well into the starry and crisp Minnesota night starting out at The Barn stage with a very motivated performance by Kinetix. Making their fourth 10KLF appearance it's at once apparent why they've been asked back and why the crowds keep grooving. Driven fiendishly by drummer Jack Gargan, Kinetix brought the audience through peaks and valleys with a fun blend of ska and pop punk featuring vocals by guitarist Adam Lufkin and keyboardist Eric Blumenfeld. The closeness of the musicians was obvious as their live show was genuine, tight and intuitive, and their communications hilarious. Mixed in with creative originals, Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was eaten up by the audience. With a new album out soon expect to see them play some bigger slots at festivals as they gain speed and continue on their path.
If the DJ scene is more your style, Pretty Lights rocked The Field Stage with samples to satisfy all musical tastes- possibly sans 'new' country! Consisting of DJ/Producer Derek Vincent Smith, and drummer Corey Eberhardt, Pretty Lights created deeply stratified layers of electronica, hip-hop, Motown, rock and more, yet came off sounding very organic. Highlighting the set was a crowd pleasing Rage's 'Bullet In The Head' into Cypress Hill's 'Hits From the Bong.' The cross genre blending sometimes brought giggles, but when the clowns came home, it jumped like a mid-nineties rave party.
Minneapolis natives, the Gypsy Lumberjacks, opened day two on the Saloon Stage. After a wild first night it was surprising to have a strong crowd that early, noon, but a packed Saloon was treated to their unique brand of gypsy jazz combining sounds of Flamenco and Persian music with a tinge of bluegrass all mixed over rocks with a pint of Jameson. They effortlessly blended covers into originals starting out with Bela Fleck's 'Big Country' into Lumberjacks original- 'Gypsy Life,' before bringing it back into the melodic and spiritual 'Big Country.'
The campground stages in Blue Ox and Lake Sallie really came to life on day two. Lake Sallie is traditionally the most festive of the campgrounds so when amplified music was allowed in the campgrounds this year, stage organizer Bobby Patrick loaded them up with a talented roster of regionally known bands, many local to Minnesota, and the stages were rocking. Campers eager for live music but unready to leave the comfort of the campgrounds were flocking to hear some of the region's best acts, stripped down and raw. Many great memories were made as these stages provided some of the most intimate shows of the festival. Some of the more notable shows played included: Bigtree Bonsai, Hyentyte, 2 1/2 Brains, Absolute Gruv, and many more. Of particular note was Friday's performance by Minneapolis' A Night In The Box, compared by some to The White Stripes they have a pared down indie-rock feeling. However, it's not single faceted, they add to that blues, bluegrass and Americana, delivered in an incredibly intense package that has created a devout fanbase.
Thursday was undeniably full of homegrown talent on the Mainstage. Rooted deep in the Minneapolis music scene, rock veterans, The Honeydogs brought to 10KLF a polished, light-hearted live show. Singer Adam Levy's heartfelt lyrics were framed by a bright, crisp horn section and the classic rhythms of alt-country and indie-rock. Riding on the release of their latest album, Sunshine Committee, look for them to perform with more frequency in the near future.
Another Minnesotan, Mason Jennings, played a pleasantly surprising up-tempo set pairing his tried and true singer-songwriter roots with a more crunchy, electrified rock sound. Heralded by some as the next Bob Dylan, Mason's albums tend to have a predominantly acoustic feel with well-written lyrics, but over the past few years in concert he has diversified the sound with the addition of electric guitars and distortion. An upcoming album promises to be a successful continuation of his previously released works as the songs fully develop through live performances.
'Wilco, Wilco, Wilco will love you baby,' sang frontman Jeff Tweedy and the rest is 10KLF history. Alt-rockers Wilco headlined the Mainstage Thursday thrilling the packed concert bowl with classics as well as field testing tracks from Wilco (the album). Charging right out of the gates with the title track, they had the field in the palm of their hand. Nels Kline once again proved himself a master of electric guitar and how to manipulate its frequencies. At one point Tweedy joked with the crowd, asking them for all of their glowsticks. After a healthy amount were thrown he responded, 'I guess I fully underestimated how many you have,' and proceeded to lay down ground rules. No throwing at the head or Nels as 'He needs to concentrate!' Welcome to 10KLF, Jeff! Another new song that yielded a great live performance was 'Bull Black Nova,' which in addition to the songs 'A Shot In The Arm,' and a monumental 'Spiders, Kidsmoke,' had the more jam-minded crowd enthralled.
Capping the night for many was a performance by Atmosphere, a Twin-Cities based hip-hop group. They are well loved in the area and more broadly in the scene. Shortly after playing 'God Loves Ugly,' the lightning show that had been a beautiful backdrop moved in and finished the action for the day with two heavy rainstorms. Campers either stuck it out and were soaked or like us, scurried to our tents and dreamt of day three.
Day three from the 2009 10KLF brought one of the most fun acts to be seen at any festival. For the fifth time at 10K, Matt Butler conducted the Everyone Orchestra. Anchored by EO vet, Steve Kimock, the performance was full of Butler's usual quirks and crazy antics, but it also provided a playground for the artists to improvise and create music in its rawest form. Joining Kimock was his son on drums, which provided an intense chemistry that is a joy to observe. Rounding out the rhythm section was Reed Mathis of Tea Leaf Green on bass.
Listening to Steve Kimock is always a treat, but being able to see him perform twice in a day is just flat out lucky. In Steve Kimock's Crazy Engine as in any setting, he sneaks up, starting out very subtle and smooth, and before you know it he's soaring, but always with his light touch and amazing tone. The addition of Melvin Seals on keys lended playfulness and the show dripped with Latin and Reggae influences. But it was signature Kimock that quietly dominated the set. Again the father-son chemistry was clearly exhibited, as Steve looked proud to be playing with son John Morgan.
After Duluth favorites Trampled By Turtles got done rocking the mainstage crowd in a triumphant return to 10KLF, Widespread was again ready to take 10K by storm.
Widespread rocked the classics starting out with 'Heroes' into 'One Armed Steve' and finishing with 'Pleas.' Friday's sets showcased the drummers, having numerous small percussion jams ultimately ending in a monster jam in the midst of a long, segueing second set 'B of D' > 'Chilly Water' > 'Smokestack Lightning' run. Before being rejoined by the band for 'Bust It Big,' Ortiz surprised on the didgeridoo and when Widespread reprised 'Chilly Water' the amphitheater went absolutely bananas. After a smoking second set, a soothing encore of 'Airplane' into 'Pilgrims' brought heads back to earth and provided a sense of full closure to their 10KLF adventure.
Starting out the last day on the Barn Stage was Todd Snider. Snider's fans are devout as his spellbinding storytelling is both funny and emotional. Not often does one performer have the presence to captivate a large audience, but Snider's down-home lyrics and communication with the spectators make him one to watch over and over. Upon exiting to another show, one camper looked me in the eye and said in a stern but light-hearted tone of voice, 'You can't leave Todd Snider early!' However, there was so much good music to see that I had to move on.
Ozomatli up next, and fans have come to expect a high-energy show full of dancing, drumming and amazing vocals. One fan drove from Ohio and Ozomatli were her number one priority saying that, 'Yeah, I may see a few more bands, but Ozomatli is where it's at for me.' After some technical difficulties, Ozo immediately had the field jumping to 'Dos Cosas Ciertas.' The show was full of style changes letting every member take the lead at some point. Justin Poree fronted many of the early tracks full of hip-hop vocals and bouncing bass lines. But the harmonies of Raul Pacheco and Asdru Sierra finished out the set in a way that only they can. Ozo played with a deep sense of unity and a shared energy and brought it to the crowd exiting the stage in the usual fashion and coming right out into the mix for a drum and horns jam. They left the fans with a feeling of excitement for the upcoming festivities.
The main bowl was already mostly full by the time Umphrey's McGee started the opening set on the Mainstage. They played their usual brand of exploratory rock, electronica, and at many times on the edge of some serious metal. Building up slowly, they set out through a very funky and moving 'Wappy Sprayberry,' featuring Drummer Kris Myers laying out the electronica through 'Spires' and into the very lucid and dreamy, 'Blue Echo' before pouring out the good reggae vibes with the classic tune, 'FF.' The middle of the set was packed with the harder and darker songs 'Mulche's Odyssey' and 'Pay The Snucka,' which included one of the best guitar solos of the day by Jake Cinninger. Following that, keys player Joel Cummins led the band through 'Ringo.' The tail end featured many dueling riffs between Cinninger and guitarist Brendan Bayliss, especially on '1348' from their latest album Mantis. Cinninger and Bayliss were tight, often playing face to face. The well-rounded Umphrey's set impressed many of Saturday's fans who came specifically for Dave Matthews.
Dave Matthews made his 10KLF debut with 'Shake Me like a Monkey,' which has developed quickly from a new album track into a live favorite. The album version doesn't do justice as the end of the song live sees Dave's singing increase to another level of intensity, and the addition of trumpeter, Rashawn Ross, gives a sparkle to this new gem. A playful ten-minute intro led into the crowd favorite 'Seek Up.' Dave was letting loose with his vocals when three quarters of the way through 'Jimi Thing' he erupted into a scat solo before ending the song. Punctuating the set was a cover of the Talking Heads' 'Burning Down The House,' which saw some of the most body moving of the night. Sing-along classics filled the end of the set with 'Ants Marching, and 'Pantala Naga Pampa>Rapunzel' before DMB electrified the crowd with a ripping twenty minute 'Two Step.' Carter Beauford's raw power was felt during a ten- minute drum solo, but solo sounds too tame, maybe. He is a machine. Rejoining Carter, DMB ascended to another peak and finished the set with power. Another new song, 'You and Me,' started the encore, but a 'Stairway to Heaven' intro led the band into perennial fave, 'All Along The Watchtower,' appropriate for the state we're in and the author of the song. But, the kicker was when midway through the tune Dave busted out the lyrics to the Zeppelin masterpiece, 'and as we wind on down the road,' it was an insane segue that gave one final surge of power to the audience before letting Boyd Tinsley take it on home to finish 'Watchtower. '
After a brief stop to see what the Umphrey's crew was up to with the N. Indiana All-Stars, this tired photographer fell asleep in the beautiful wooded campgrounds to the soothing sounds of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.
I hearken the masses, come to the north woods, festival sites do not get more picturesque and serene than at the Soo Pass Ranch. Bring your good vibes and your dancing shoes and let your cares and worries melt away. 10,000 Lakes Festival has a notoriously laid-back atmosphere, plenty of fun and partying to be had and a very strong sense of community. If you haven't yet made the annual pilgrimage, save the dates next year and add to the vitality, spirit and energy of this wonderful festival.

Economic Modeling Using Artificial Intelligence Methods examines the application of artificial intelligence methods to model economic data. Traditionally, economic modeling has been modeled in the linear domain where the principles of superposition are valid. The application of artificial intelligence for economic modeling allows for a flexible multi-order non-linear modeling. In addition, game theory has largely been applied in economic modeling. However, the inherent limitation of game theory when dealing with many player games encourages the use of multi-agent systems for modeling economic phenomena. The artificial intelligence techniques used to model economic data include: multi-layer perceptron neural networks radial basis functions support vector machines rough sets genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization simulated annealing multi-agent system incremental learning fuzzy networks Signal processing techniques are explored to analyze economic data, and these techniques are the time domain methods, time-frequency domain methods and fractals dimension approaches. Interesting economic problems such as causality versus correlation, simulating the stock market, modeling and controling inflation, option pricing, modeling economic growth as well as portfolio optimization are examined. The relationship between economic dependency and interstate conflict is explored, and knowledge on how economics is useful to foster peace a and vice versa a is investigated. Economic Modeling Using Artificial Intelligence Methods deals with the issue of causality in the non-linear domain and applies the automatic relevance determination, the evidence framework, Bayesian approach and Granger causality to understand causality and correlation. Economic Modeling Using Artificial Intelligence Methods makes an important contribution to the area of econometrics, and is a valuable source of reference for graduate students, researchers and financial practitioners.University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor Hulley G, Marwala T (2007) Genetic algorithm based incremental learning for optimal weight ...

Electric bills are typically a one-way street; you send money to your power provider.
California's major utilities want to send checks to farmers, according to Eric Baty of Verde Energy, an energy consulting company.
Baty told growers and others at the California Cotton Growers Association annual meeting in Coalinga, Calif., that checks from electricity providers can be substantial for those who sign up for what is called a "demand response program."
Baty worked with one grower who stands to get $700,000 or possibly more for a three-year demand response program contract with his electric utility.
When power companies reach peak demand loads, the only means of additional power is to purchase it from expensive peaker plants. Utilities would rather reduce the use from existing commercial or agricultural users to meet demand elsewhere.
They do that by contracting with growers who use substantial electricity agreeing to turn off power when requested during peak use periods, typically 11 a.m to 7 p.m.
Last year the utilities called only twice to ask contracted growers to turn off power during that time period, and it was for three hours each time, Baty said. The shutdown time can be from one to four hours.
"If a farmer has high horsepower, electric motor driven water pumps, signing up for the program can offer significant savings," Baty said. The farmer who stands to pocket $700,000 for signing a demand response contract told Baty the money he expects to receive represents about 10 percent of his annual power bill.
There is no cost to growers to sign up. Producers can opt out at any time or for any particular month. The utilities would like to have the ability to automatically turn off the pumps rather than ask growers to manually turn them off when a peak demand event is called, and they will pay for installation of the automatic pump shut-off equipment.
"The utilities will not automatically turn off the pumps without notifying you," Baty said.
The program begins in the spring and extends for seven or eight months. "March and April are months when it is unlikely an event will be called" but contracted growers would still get checks, he noted. If a grower is irrigating heavily in the summer and cannot afford to shut off pumps, he can opt out of the contract for those months. Growers receive monthly checks in what is basically a standby program.
The farmer who expects to get the big check signed up 7.5 megawatts to be in the program. For a 258-horsepower pump using 200 KW per year, the payments would be about $8,000 annually.
Growers eligible for the program must be on a peak rate plan, Baty added. Growers are given 24 hours notice to shut down the pumps.


text: The always welcomed Cat (Formerly of The Pierces) comes to us with a track that is truly beyond inspiring and empowering, it speaks to her fellow women but also to the men that share this world. She speaks of the contradictory views that the world tries to sell to women and how they should be kept down, which sadly is a conversation that has been spoken again as if we where transported to the past only to find out it's happening today and in some cases worst than before. We need to get back in track and fight for equality and justice for all, we need to embrace the women in our lives and make sure they know how important they are to us and to the world itself. Give them their rightful place in society for they in some cases deserve it even more than we do, do not use their physique as a medium to judge them but pay attention to the magic and bright light that evokes from the words they speak. This past International women's day was a reminder to the world that women inspire, motivate and excel in the world and they should be celebrated each and every day. And for those that believe that is bullshit and that men should have a day as well, ask yourself why do you need to fight one day in which we celebrate the bringers of life, the muses, the power behind most of society, really look inside you and ask that question. " Hard to be Women " …hell yes it is and I see you all beautiful ladies and I am in awe of the strength and poise in which you conquer each and every day. Bravo to you CAT! Bravo to all your sisters around the globe! and bravo to the men that cherish their magnificence!

For 22 years, Creative 360 has been a vital and unique destination within the Great Lakes Bay Region. Every workshop, event and outreach program has at its core a focus to provide wellness through experience, expression and expansion of the creative self. The mission, written in 1994 when cofounders Cynthia Keefe and Linda Z. Smith were Alden B. Dow Creativity Fellows at Northwood University remains essentially the same.
Creative 360's mission is to create environments that allow people of all ages and abilities to experience the creative process, and to enhance physical, mental and spiritual wellness through the arts and humanities.
Since its inception, Creative 360 has offered a wide variety of classes, workshops and events for all ages and populations. Our offerings have grown to include those with special needs, individuals with disabilities, older adults, people in recovery, veterans, at-risk teens, and gifted and talented youth. Through collaboration with local schools, universities, assisted care facilities, youth groups, service clubs, human-services agencies and other nonprofits we tailor programs that give students and residents greater exposure to the creative arts and humanities.
Express Yourself Artshop is the result of such collaboration. Creative 360 worked with several local agencies to open Express Yourself Artshop, a crucial inclusive arts program for people with varying abilities. Express Yourself Artshop offers over 35 different art, music, drama, dance and wellness classes for more than 175 participants, many of whom have Community Living Support (CLS funding from CMHCM). Our full time coordinator Allise Noble, directs 12 outstanding art instructors and numerous volunteers.
A six-minute video on our website tells the story best as the students explain their Express Yourself Artshop experiences through broad smiles.
Creative 360 offers a year round schedule of workshops and classes, a speakers' forum, concerts, Shakespeare performances, dinner theatre, improvisation/comedy, movie screenings, poetry readings, and children's summer interrelated arts camps. Our art gallery is open free to the public and was enjoyed by more than 8,700 visitors last year. It is one of the most visible galleries in the area and was voted Greatest Art Gallery in the Great Lakes Bay by readers of Great Lakes Bay Magazine in 2015.
John Pratt Mosaic House: As we support a full schedule of activity, Creative 360 board members and numerous community leaders and volunteers are developing a plan to preserve the art on the John Pratt Mosaic House we have owned for over 17 years. Through tours, teaching opportunities, workshops and seminars, more than 75,000 people have experienced the art and message of creativity for all people including those with mental illness. With a generous donation from the Charles Strosacker Foundation, we have been able to do a preliminary study to determine the best way to preserve, move and use the mosaic art at our 1517 Bayliss site. This effort requires great creativity, fortitude and a well-planned campaign. Everyone involved sees this as an important project for the Great Lakes Bay Region. It is sure to be a popular destination that features folk/outsider art and the important message of creative expression and well-being for all people.
Activities at Creative 360 are supported in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, Midland Area Community Foundation and the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation.
Experience. Express. Expand your creativity.

GLSL shaders are indeed very useful tool for creating unusual graphic output.
Sometimes you need to change shader behavior after compilation dynamically.
There is interesting mechanism, which allows change shader variable values according to your ThinBASIC variables.
The magic OpenGL commands to achieve this are two:
glGetUniformLocationARB - to retrieve "pointer" to shader variable
glUniform1fARB - to change variable located at "pointer" to other floating point value
The attached script demonstrates this technique in the easiest way. Just use slider to modify the variable value and watch the impact on shader in realtime.
Note: As this script demonstrates advanced technique, your card must be GLSL compatible. That means ideally support for OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL 1.5 with extensions. Tested on GeForce 9500GT.

Marvelous Monday Update 11/23/09
I've gotten a couple of exchanges out of the way.
For Tiny Treasures Exchange Too, I participated in the Humbug Exchange. It's the first time I've ever done one, so hopefully my partner liked it.
I also got the CSE Advent Exchange wrapped, boxed up, and mailed out.
Lastly, I did get some stitching done this week. No pics, though, since it's for a private ornament exchange. Don't want to ruin the surprise
The adjuster came. The adjuster looked. The ajuster went. The damage? $2500+! Yikes. No one has opened the hood yet, so not really sure what damage was done on the inside. Didn't want to take the chance of not being able to get it shut again! The insurance company has assured me they'll cover the cost if there's more damage.
I had two people recommend an auto body shop out of town, so that's where my ride went. The owner/manager of the shop commented that my adjuster was a good one, so it set my mind at ease. He also informed me that GM has a price match for GM parts (instead of using after market parts). Just a little FYI if any of you have GM vehicles. :)
Unbeknownst to me prior to the accident, I have rental car coverage on my policy! What a lifesaver that's turned out to be. Now I don't have to worry about coming up with a car for five days. :) The car rental place gave me a '09 Chevy HHR. It's taken me a bit getting used to it - can't say that I'd ever buy one of these. (Even though my car is old-old-older, I'm spoiled with it, and still *love* it after all these years.)
Side Note:
Tongue in cheek... Hitting the deer *really* isn't turning out so bad. ;-) I had a couple of "paint rubs" on the driver's front side from when I lived in my apartment. The garage door was -barely- large enough to pull my car in and out (approximately 3" on each side) and well, you know. My car scraped against it sometimes. That's the story I'm sticking to! With the deer repairs, by default those will be taken care of, too.
Angela of Hooked on Stitches is sponsoring a nice giveaway on her blog. Check it out if you're interested.

glad you have your exchanges ready! I have my advent one almost ready. It is to go out next week.
Woohoo about car rental on your policy! That was a nice surprise for you! So glad you will get your little boo boos fixed too!!!!

It's good they could fix your car and have GM parts. A deer hit me when my car was 4 months old, and the POS adjuster attempted to get them to use "seconds" on it. I told him it was a brand-new car, and he could put brand-new, 1st quality parts on it. I was hot. I felt bad enough about the deer, and then to have screwed up parts on it, ugggh.

it's not turning out too bad now that your insurance will cover it and you get a rental. (Not to mention you get some old repairs taken care of too) Glad things are turning out better with all that. Sending big hugs your way!

I'm glad that your car will be fixed soon!!! Nice job getting the exchanges ready. I am not doing any exchanges this year...I'm sure I'll miss the excitmeent of getting the gifts, but I have to cut costs somewhere LOL
I like the way the HHRs look, but have never rode in one. I'm getting used to the new 6speed...if only my bone spur wasn't acting up...Going to the dr on the 30th for a shot :(

Crazy all that fine print in a policy. Glad it turns out some of it was good fine print. Isn't it funny how cars can be so different? They all have four wheels, a steering wheel, seats, windsheilds, etc. but can all feel so totally different. Hopefully you will have your ride back soon. A point of clarification on my blog.....the turned pages are the pages of my new catalog that I turned down on the pages of things I liked! I elaborated on the comment. Happy Thanksgiving

Glad to hear you will have a car while your baby gets repaired! What a nice little extra to have the "rub" removed at the same time!

Glad your car will be like new again without a lot of hassel.
Can't wait for your exchanges to get to their homes so we can see them I'm dying to see what a "Humbug" is

Glad you're car is being fixed. I know it's like an old friend and you miss it when it's gone. Hopefully it'll be out of surgery soon and there won't be any follow-ups.

Glad to hear that you aren't carless. I can't wait to see what your Hunbug looks like.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the long weekend.

Glad to hear you got rental included on your insurance - when I had a no-fault claim it was included, as you say, it's alife-saver!

glad to know you got all set up.. and I would def say that the couple extra dollars the rental coverage costs on your insurance is WELL worth it when you consider what you would pay out of pocket.. hope you have a great turkey day.. big hugs to you!!

I *love* both of those papers you've wrapped up the exchanges in!! I'd squeal so loud all the neighbors would rush over if I received such a thing in my mailbox. :D

2500 sounds like a lot of money. Well at least you have insurance. And I have to agree with you on the rental car insurance. It came in handy for us as well one time.

Well we know that Mare love her exchange you sent. Good luck with the other one.

Playing catch up as usual. We had an HHR as a rental on vacation. We didn't like it. I don't know how they sold so many! Your car will look brand new when you get it back. Hope you have a great Turkey Day.

Do you feel intimidated when your counselee is diagnosed with a "disease"?
Is your counselee physically ill or is it "all in his head"?
What should your counselee's goals be in dealing with this disease?
What are the purposes and side effects of the medication he is on?
What is most important — being comfortable, free of pain, and having no sickness,
becoming more like Jesus Christ?
Dr. Robert Smith combines extensive experience in medical practice and biblical counseling with a commitment to the sufficiency of scripture to provide real answers to these perplexing questions. He gives the medical layman information and biblical counsel on difficult issues such as…
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Premenstrual Syndrome
Sexual Problems
"Doc" also explores general biblical principles regarding health, illness, and the believer's calling to glorify God in everything. There is hope for the believer — victory, not relief. Relief is not inherently wrong, but it becomes wrong when it is the primary goal. God promises victory in illnesses and trials, not deliverance from them. Even if the illness makes a significant change in one's lifestyle, He is still intending to glorify Himself in it.
Since the inception of Nouthetic Counseling, those associated with the movement have recognized the importance of working together with physicians. In James 5, the elders of the church are directed to call upon God in prayer, to confess sins (when necessary), and to use medicine to heal the sick. Because this has been our firm and continuing position, we have always been concerned not to counsel persons whose problems might possibly stem from organic causes as if they did not. But to distinguish between the two causes is often difficult since, in some cases, similar symptoms may arise from both organic and non-organic sources. The difficulty, though not totally alleviated, has now been greatly reduced by the publication of Dr. Robert Smith's ground-breaking book,
The Christian Counselor's Medical Desk Reference
. Pastors, elders, and counselors everywhere will be delighted to obtain this volume.

Asked him for his "petua". One of his untold petuas I cannot follow, have 12 children. The other "petua" I dare not follow! But one petua I always follow.
"Kito tok leh kedekut gheng". Wow...how can I translate this? "Gheng" can be translated as effort or energy. What Pok Mudo is trying to tell us youngsters is that we must always expand our energy. By doing so, we become more energetic, and therefore youthful. How true. While I do my regular cycling, Pok Muda walked the beach, every morning and worked out a generous sweat. Envy him. We city folks will pay a bomb to have a house by the sea. Pok Muda's house overlooked the South China Sea.
He showed us the mould used to make the weights for the jala. The weights are made from timah (tin) which used to be one of Malaysia's main export years ago.
Pok Mudo had migrated from the inland when he was still a youth and has established his home in Kundor Island. The island offered certain charms. I can't quite recall my last visit 35 years ago. The kampung, just like any others, has modern amenities like pipe water and electricity. So, the telaga (perigi) has now outlived its use. Girls or women therefore no longer took bath in the open, with the sarong worn to just arm-pit level. Men too no longer show either their pot-belly or sun-tanned fishermen muscles while bathing. Those were the days.
In Pulau Kundor, the youths expand their gheng by kick-boxing. The Kelantan govt has since made this sport legal. Locally known as Boksing Siye, it is a sport originating across the border and is catching up in popularity. Well, anything so long as youths stay away from doing drugs.
For the boat-builder enthusiastic kids of Pulau Kundor, they experiment on making boats. Timber is now expensive, with the depleting resource from Lojing. So, they turned to metal boats and call it Heavy Metal! Can also call it boat potong, just like kereta potong.
I don't know when will be the re-visit. I have other relatives that I need to complete my rounds. This will happen in my Cycling Trip III to Kota Bharu, perhaps 3 months from now.

Jamelia claims police officer racially abused her
- Bang Showbiz
- 28 June 2016
Jamelia claims she was racially abused by a police officer in front of her daughters after she overtook him in her car
Jamelia claims she was racially abused by a police officer in front of her daughters.
The 'Loose Women' presenter says that on Monday (27.06.16) a man in uniform called her a "stupid black bitch" after she overtook him in her car while driving to a train station near her home.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Jamelia wrote: "So, This morning I did a bad thing, I overtook someone as I was driving to the train station. I was running late, and in a rush. Not an excuse, it wasn't the right thing to do. I parked up and as my girls and I got out of the car, I noticed the person had followed us, and was shouting "Is there something wrong with you you stupid b!tch, you should have waited!!" I replied, "I know, I'm so sorry, i was rushing for the train, my apologies" he then retorted "you lot make me f**king sick" I said "can you please not swear in front of my children" he replied "Oh f**k off you stupid black b!tch, you lot are sickening" I replied, "OK, goodbye" He then opened his car door in a rage and said "come here and say that to my face!" and as he stepped out, his car started rolling, Thank God. Scared, I grabbed my girls, and more or less ran toward the station & didn't look back. Now, as upset as I am about this interaction, I am mostly disappointed because this man was a POLICE OFFICER (sic)."
Jamelia later spoke about the incident on 'Loose Women' and urged other victims of racism to report the incidents.
She wrote on Twitter: "Thank you for all your kind messages of support...I'm so grateful @loosewomen gave me the platform to talk about this awful incident...
"I URGE you, if you are victim to anything like this, REPORT it! This is 2016, NO-ONE deserves to endure racism on any level...we have voices, we have rights and we deserve to feel safe wherever we are in this country.
"And as for my girls, well they asked to me to drive them to school this morning, just in case "The Man" was at the train station again (sic)."
Jamelia, 35, has 14-year-old daughter Teja from a previous relationship with music manager Terry Wallen and nine-year-old daughter Tiani with ex-husband Darren Byfield.

Everything in this exhibition tells a compelling story.
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) August 15, 2014
In September of 1814, the United States was at a point in the War of 1812 when it desperately needed a victory. During the Battle of Baltimore, British bomb vessels fired more than a thousand rockets and exploding mortar shells called "bombs" on Fort McHenry in their attempt to invade the city. Thanks to its great leaders, Baltimore's Defenders repelled the mighty British. On September 10, 2014, the Maryland Historical Society officially relaunches its critically acclaimed exhibit, 'In Full Glory Reflected: Maryland in the War of 1812' with new objects and artifacts. Included in the exhibition is the completed BEARINGS of Baltimore, Circa 1815 installation, a 'Google Map' view of Early Baltimore, which will open to the public on September 8.
"We started with 'The Star-Spangled-Banner' manuscript, which is the very first copy written by Francis Scott Key," says Burt Kummerow, President of the Maryland Historical Society, "But it's not the only treasure in our 1812 exhibit."
Anchoring the In Full Glory Reflected exhibit is the BEARINGS of Baltimore Circa 1815 installation. Using the latest 3D technology, UMBC's Imaging Research Center has created an accurate - and truly awe-inspiring - view of Baltimore as it appeared in 1815. Visitors can select from more than a dozen interactive 'hotspots,' such as the Indian Queen Tavern and the Hampstead Hill Entrenchments, to see how they looked right after the Battle of Baltimore. Supplementing the installation are documents and paintings from the Maryland Historical Society's collection. Many of the buildings included in the installation no longer exist today, so visitors can think of it as a personal 'time machine' to see Baltimore as it really looked 200 years ago.
There is literally no other installation in the world like BEARINGS of Baltimore. A special reception celebrating the project's completion and honoring the dozens of UMBC staff and students whose tireless, 2 year-effort resulted in the final installation, will be held at the Maryland Historical Society on Monday, September 8 from 5:30-7:30pm. This event is free for MdHS Members, $15 for non-Members. To register, visit http://www.mdhs.org.
Other new items in the In Full Glory Reflected exhibit include objects owned by Commodore Joshua Barney, commander of the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla. His commission to Captain in the Flotilla Service of the United States, signed by President James Madison, a leather wallet, traveling trunk and pistol and telescope are on generous loan from descendants of Barney himself. Contents of his wallet and trunk, which date to the period of the War of 1812, will broaden scholarly understanding of Barney's activities between 1812 and 1814 as well as his relationship with his family.
Other new items on view include two period 1812 dresses: A day dress or a textured white cotton and the other of an ivory silk satin. Both are remarkable survivals from the period.
Other Noteworthy Items on Display
The original Manuscript of Francis Scott Key's "Star-Spangled Banner" will be on view at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine from September 6-14, while the Maryland Historical Society will feature one of the earliest printed broadsides (a one-sided single sheet of paper) of "Defence of Fort McHenry" in its In Full Glory Reflected exhibit.
Early sheet music of the Star Spangled Banner song, complete with a typo, is also on view. Vivid paintings by Battle of Baltimore veteran Thomas Ruckle and the iconic "Bombardment of Ft. McHenry" by Alfred Jacob Miller are also featured in the In Full Glory Reflected exhibit. The humble "Etting Cup" bears the etched signatures of several of the 1812 Defenders. The cup was a treasured part of 1812 veterans' reunions for many decades in the 19th century.
Also on view are Rembrandt Peale's stunning portraits of five Defenders: Major General Samuel Smith, Lt. Col. George Armistead, Brigadier General John Stricker, Congressman Isaac McKim, which were commissioned by the City of Baltimore almost immediately after the war ended in 1815.
"Everything in this exhibition tells a compelling story," said Kummerow. "The paintings by an immigrant house painter captured the Battle of North Point as no one else could. Then there's the private at Ft. McHenry who had a bomb land at his feet. He took the unexploded bomb home and it's now its here. We even have a 250 year musket that saw service in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War."
About the Battle of Baltimore
The 1814 Battle of Baltimore was a turning point in the War of 1812. The port city had strong defenses both in the harbor and on Hampstead Hill (Patterson Park) where a mile of trenches held 100 cannons and 15,000 militia and regulars. The Baltimore business community financed the training and equipping of a volunteer militia. After the Americans repulsed a land invasion and killed British General Robert Ross, they successfully defended Ft. McHenry during a 25 hour bombardment and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the lyrics to what became our National Anthem.

SEATTLE — Mike DeVito was there. Muhammad Wilkerson was there, too. So was Calvin Pace. Bart Scott, with his mangled big toe that requires him to wear a specially made cleat just to suit up and play, was there.
Antonio Cromartie was there. Rookie Quinton Coples was there. Sione Pouha was there. Bryan Thomas was there. David Harris, too. Yeremiah Bell and LaRon Landry were there.
Even Ellis Langster was there … until he finally broke down in the fourth quarter — as did the rest of the defense, really.
Most of the Jets' defensive players were there and accounted for yesterday at CenturyLink Field.
The offense was a different story.
Mark Sanchez? Missing. Dustin Keller? Lost. Rookie receiver Stephen Hill? Invisible. The offensive line? Don't ask.
The defense did about everything it could for three quarters to keep the Jets in what ended as a 28-7 loss to the Seahawks, other than padlock the Seattle offensive players in their locker room.
But the Jets' offense would not cooperate. In fact, it rebelled, throwing the game away — literally.
By the time it was over and the Jets were on their red-eye flight back to New Jersey at 3-6 with their playoff hopes in peril, here's what the real score behind the score was: Jets defense 7, Jets offense 0.
Sanchez and the rest of the offense owe the defense an apology.
"[The defense] definitely gave us an opportunity to win the game; they played well,'' left guard Brandon Moore said. "You feel bad. You got one side that for most part put it together and the other side had sparks and was just not consistent.''
Actually, the Jets' offense was consistent. It was consistently bad.
The anemic offense kept the Seahawks in the game despite the effort of the Jets' defensive teammates. And, with each failed series, the offense let the game bleed away. The Jets' offense, with no explosive players and its propensity to turn the ball over, leaves the defense no margin for error.
By the time the fourth quarter arrived, the Jets' defense was shot, broken, abandoning fundamentals and, instead of tackling, was wildly swiping at Seahawks players trying to force turnovers and win the game by itself. That led to the lopsided score in the end.
The 1985 Bears defense could not have withstood this level of lack of support.
After a week of pleading to his players to stop beating themselves, this is what coach Rex Ryan got from them:
* Sanchez threw an interception at the Seattle goal line and later, trying to do too much in the face of a blitz, fumbled the ball away in the fourth quarter. On both plays, he made inexcusably poor decisions, which were avoidable and unacceptable for a player with his experience.
* Keller, Sanchez's most dependable target and one of the veteran leaders of the offense, was called for two key false-start penalties and also dropped a crucial third-down pass.
* Receiver Jeremy Kerley muffed a punt in the second quarter that led to the Seahawks' go-ahead touchdown and a 14-7 lead they never relinquished.
The final score will indicate the Jets were blown out by the Seahawks on both sides of the ball — but that was not the case.
The Jets defense slowed running back Marshawn Lynch, who entered the game having rushed for more yards (881) than the Jets had as a team (878) until he padded his 124-yard day with 60 yards in the fourth quarter when the Jets were already broken.
DeVito forced a Lynch fumble that was recovered by Wilkerson, who returned it 21 yards to tie the game at 7-7 in the first quarter.
Wilkerson later sacked quarterback Russell Wilson and forced a fumble that was recovered by Pace in the second quarter. Overall, there were enough plays made on defense to give the Jets a chance to win the game.
"The season ain't getting no longer; it's only getting shorter, so something's got to give,'' Bell said. "We have to come together in this locker room. That's the only way we're going to do thing this — together.''
If they had been doing it together yesterday, the Jets might not be in the 3-6 mess they're in now.

Read a guitar chord diagram by learning the order of the strings and the symbols for fret positions, open strings and silenced strings. The guitar chord chart is organized from left to right with the nut of the guitar at the top.Continue Reading
The nut of the guitar is at the top of the chord chart, with successive frets extending below. The fret at the top is the first fret. Then comes the second fret, and the frets continue downward. Therefore, turning the chart to the left shows the guitar as it appears when playing it. The low E string is at the bottom, and the high E string is at the top.
If there is a number, it represents the fret barred with your index finger or a capo. No number means the strings are all open.
The dots on the fretboard represent where the fingers are supposed to go. Some chord charts have numbers on the dots. These represent what finger to use to fret the chord. The index finger is "1," while the middle finger is "2." The ring finger is labelled "3," and the pinky finger is "4."
Open strings are denoted by a "0" above the nut. Silenced strings are denoted by an "x."

(Adds data)
OTTAWA, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Canadian household debt as a share of income hit a record high in the second quarter as borrowing outpaced wage growth, Statistics Canada said on Friday in a report that underscored the challenges consumers could face as interest rates rise.
The ratio of debt to disposable income rose to 167.8 percent from a downwardly revised 166.6 percent in the first quarter.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, households borrowed C$28.9 billion ($23.8 billion) in the second quarter, up from C$25.4 billion in the preceding quarter.
Mortgage borrowing decreased to C$16.5 billion from C$19.2 billion, the first decline since the third quarter of 2016, while borrowing of other consumer loans jumped to C$12.3 billion from C$6.2 billion.
Home sales in Toronto, Canada's largest city, have declined since the provincial government implemented a number of measures in April to cool the market, including a foreign buyers' tax.
Friday's data did not capture the effects of interest rate increases by the Bank of Canada in July and September.
Indeed, the debt service ratio, which measures debt principal and interest payments as a proportion of income, was flat at 14.2 percent.
After years of low interest rates that have propelled consumer borrowing, policymakers have said they will be closely watching the economy's sensitivity to higher borrowing costs.

Oh Ace, Ace, Ace – an intervention may be in order, here.
Dick Polman of Newsworks has a word or two to say about your wing-nuttiness.
The skeet shooter truthers are probably the mutant
spawn of the birthers, and they'll probably morph anew once the current
wingnuttiness wanes. But let's check them out anyway, if only to satiate
our craving for black comedy.
It all began when President Obama told The New
Republic magazine that, "yes," he has indeed fired a gun (like all
accredited red-blooded Americans), and that "up at Camp David, we do
skeet shooting all the time . . . oftentimes, guests of mine go up
there." And alarm bells instantly clanged among the practitioners of the
paranoid style – to wit, Republican congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, a
founder of skeet trutherism: "If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not
heard of this? Why have we not seen photos?"
The Obama team stayed silent for a few days,
apparently assuming that the skeet truthers would surgically remove
their fingers from their laptops, doff their pajamas, and get a life.
Dream on, Obama team. So finally, over the weekend, it decided to
release a photo of the president shooting clay pigeons, on his birthday last August. OK, wingnuts? Satisfied now?
No, by God. Let's see the scores.

Ok, so when my gear and spec are looked at, it may beg the question, why have I built my character around agility? it is based solely on common sense and a little bit of the desire to be extreme.
#1 Reason: Logic
Agility provides me with everything a hunter may need; dodge, crit, atp and armor. So, not only do I survive longer, but I also increase my dps. In pve, agility has provided me with the opportunity to output large dps through crit and a respectable attack power rating. Now, in pvp, agility has a more dramatic effect. Not only am I critting near 30% of the time, but I am also dodging close to 30% of the time. When I reach a point where wyvern sting, my trap and deterrence have all reached their cooldown, those extra dodge % points really start to matter and save my life. Nothing like dodging something when below 10% health.
#2 Reason: Being extreme
In pvp, no matter how geared you get, or how good you get at your class, the gaps remain small between great pvp'rs are average ones. In essence, you have to really set yourself apart from the crowd to have a dramatic advantage. For example, for those of you who love to "twink" a character. How does Kang the decapitator feel from a mortal strike warrior or from a nice critting windfury? That weapon sets those characters apart from the crowd. So, I looked at my class for a long while and decided on two things: Scatter shot will likely always be with me -and- the 15% agility points are underrated. That being said, I have become a hybrid hunter (0/26/35) and utilizing the two tools I find to be perfect for my style of play. Just for fun, I also now have wyvern sting! :) As my gear upgrades and I grow my agility, I am sure eventually when I can find a way to hit 900 agility, everything else will come along with it (the hp and mp more specifically).
#3 Reason: My build and my arena team
As mentioned above, my build is designed to compound my agility by 15% (not to mention my stamina by 10% as well). So, by design I am tailored for agility! In addition to that, my arena team is one that is probably the rarest. Survival hunter + Moonkin, how often have you seen that combination? In this team I have 1 job....survive. My moonkin shadowmelds and I make myself the bait. It is my only goal to create as much chaos and do as much burst as I can while my moonkin burns down our opposition (which surprisingly the moonkin is IMO one of the best at - spells for heavy armor and trees for light, good luck surviving him!). My agility has provided me with a decent armor, dodge approaching 40% in Monkey and not to mention the ability to throw decent damage out in a short period of time!
Side note: If you ever create an arena team like mine, please do not argue that the moonkin should be the bait. Believe me, through countless arena matches we have discovered the hunter is far superior at surviving than a moonkin. In addition to that, resistances mean very little in arena, so the moonkin spell dps is boss over your physical. Sooooo, granting your moonkin the free dps rain until the other 2 tricksters get their sorts will prove quite successful!
Live in the agility world! 800, here I come! (749 now!)

Pumpkins, orange and red leaves, candy corn, apple cider – autumn things that bring comfort and good memories to mind make me feel excited this time of year.
October colors, holiday foods, and festive candles create home nesting feelings. It makes a homemaker eager to decorate with the rich season of beauty in home and garden.
It's no wonder that I couldn't wait to attend my friend's double baby shower for her two daughters' little pumpkins soon to be born. The shower menu was a season's delight for those who love this time of year. Pumpkin Fluff, Scarecrow Crunch, Quiche and a waffle bar were served among many other delights.

Growing up in Texas, I loved the Texas Trash version of the Scarecrow Crunch. Whatever you want to name it, have fun mixing up your own version of cereals and snacks.
Egg and breakfast enthusiasts will love a brunch bar that includes quiche. Creamy baked eggs with vegetables is inviting not only to the vegetarian but to all who love eggs cooked any way.
Let's not leave out the pumpkins. The baby shower decorations were adorable, especially these little boy and girl pumpkins.
The baby shower menu was topped off by this gorgeous pumpkin cake.

Alayna Wool '05 (general sculptural studies) received a 2010 Women of Peace Award for her photographic documentary Collective Photographic Memory of the Surviving Achi's in Rabinal, Guatemala by the Women's Peacepower Foundation, Inc. In honoring Wool, the organization stated, "Alayna is dedicated to using her talent as an artist to bring peace around the world even at her own personal risk. Her current volunteer project has been living in a rural Guatemalan village for three years, where she has been creating a photographic archive of the victims of the armed conflict in the town of Rabinal. Her efforts are helping the survivors disseminate impunity and assists with their court cases." The public installation created by Wool contains over 2000 rescued photographs of victims of the internal armed conflict.
Wool is also a recipient of a 2010 Amy Adina Schulman Memorial Fund grant, a 2010 John and Dorothy Missionary grant, and an International Peace Research Association Foundation grant. Her work in Guatemala can be seen at www.viviendohistoria.com.
