Watch Your Step!!!
We recently spent the day with over 200 Girl Scouts at an Encampment in Tully, NY. Many of the girls spent the night at Camp Hoover, and we were excited to meet up with them and talk about Leave No Trace. During the course of the day we introduced many girls to the 7 principles of Leave No Trace. We spent a little extra time talking about the principle Travel and Camp on Durable Surface/Choose the Right Path. During an activity called "Watch Your Step" the girls discovered all sorts of plants and creatures that live on the ground and are vulnerable to being stepped on and crushed. During the activity, we found an ant hill, strawberry plants, beetles, small saplings and a few wild flowers. We went on to talk about the importance of walking on more durable surfaces. One group even surprised us by singing a song about the importance of walking through puddles on the trail instead of around them. We want to give everyone at Camp Hoover a big thanks for welcoming us into their Encampment and for teaching us "I Love Mud."

Thompson Poudre Boyscout Camporee
To round out what has been an epic season of training we headed to the Red Feather Lakes region just northwest of the Fort Collins, CO area. With the help of fellow trainers and Poudre Wilderness Volunteers Garin Vandemark, Bob Manuel, Mark Snyder, and Fred Allen we helped train over 250 Boyscouts from the greater Fort Collins area on the seven principles. Scouts rotated through four stations to learn what it takes to Leave No Trace. For some it was a great chance to review, for others it was their first taste of the skills and ethics. We would like to thank the Poudre Wilderness Volunteers and Dave Hattis for all their help in planning and executing this program, we hope to team up with PWV for many years to come.
Happy Trails,

Water Trails Conference
This past weekend we had the opportunity to present to a collective of folks responsible for building and maintaining water trails around North America and other locations around the world. The International Water Trails Conference put on by the Washington Water Trails Association in Port Townsend, WA featured presentations on a variety of issues related to the start up, and operation of water trails. We found out just how big a role Leave No Trace plays in the world of water trails especially when you consider how finite the resourses are on many of the island that water trails use. We want to thank the Washington Water Trails Association for be such great hosts, and partners of Leave No Trace.
Monday, September 22, 2008
We held a small awareness workshop at the Winnebago Forest Preserve District for conservation leaders and parks and recreation managers in the Rockford, IL vicinity. Our workshop focused on discussions about the Frontcountry issues that are prevalent on the Kishwaukee Water Trail and other parks in the area. Laura Barghusen from Openlands, a Leave No Trace partner, coordinated this event. Openlands is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing public open space in northeastern Illinois and have secured over 45,000 acres of land in for public parks, forest preserves, land and water greenway corridors, and urban gardens. We're very thankful for what they do at Openlands and we'll be taking this Frontcountry state of mind over to Pittsburgh for the International Urban Parks Convention.

Virginia is for Lovers!
After a quick lunchtime presentation at the National Geographic Headquarters in Washington D.C. last week we headed to Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, VA via the Shenandoah National Park. We camped at Mathew's Arm Campground in the northern part of the park and then took our time and drove down the Skyline Drive to take in all the great views and scenery. Once we had our fill we headed to Lynchburg and arrived at the Claytor Nature Study Center, an extension of Lynchburg College, to meet up with 12 Trainer Course participants.
We spent Saturday and Sunday at the nature center talking, teaching, and learning about Leave No Trace. At the end of the course 10 student leaders for the New Horizons program and the Director of the Claytor Nature Study Center were officially Leave No Trace Trainers. It was a great course and our thanks go out to all of those who participated, to the Claytor Nature Study Center for hosting, and to Paul Stern for organizing.

Illinois Rained
We're in the midst of an extremely wet week here in Illinois, but we making the best of it. First, in Springfield, we talked with 35 kids and 5 teachers at the Montessori Children's House on a rainy day afternoon. Thank you to Sue Harris for welcoming us into her school. Then it was off to Rantoul, IL for the Boy Scouts Illini Jamboree with the Prairielands Council of East Central Illinois and Western Indiana. 2,900 scouts were at this big event, and we had a great time during our two awareness workshops onstage at Grissom Theater. Thanks to Ralph and Ellen for taking great care of us at the Jamboree. Also, a big tough thumbs up to all the Scouts who stuck around last night and woke up this morning in a monsoon only to have to break down there tents and pack up in a downpour with no end in sight.

The Conserve School
Conserve School was founded in 2002 to fulfill James R. Lowenstine's dream of creating a school at which children could be offered a comprehensive college preparatory education with a special emphasis on nature studies. It was his hope that for some students this would lead to ultimate employment in areas related to the preservation of our lakes, forests, and streams for public recreation without spoliation, and in the general science of the conservation of natural resources. Needless to say, we were excited to visit this campus and meet the students who learn and live in the woods of Land O' Lakes, WI. Our new friend, Gretchen, showed us around and invited us to play some evening ultimate frisbee. The next day, we spoke to 40 freshman and eight staff members about Leave No Trace and the ethics involved with appreciation and protection of the natural lands that we love. The Conserve School is a Leave No Trace partner, and Headmaster Stefan Anderson and his staff enthusiastically incorporate Leave No Trace skills and ethics into the curriculum and activities of the school....and it shows.

Acadia Trainer Course - Part Deux
Another great thing about this course was that all of the participants came from very different backgrounds both professionally and personally. It was nice to have so many different perspectives and to explore how Leave No Trace is relevant in all sorts of settings.
After the course, we jumped in the Subaru for a quick trip to Washington, D.C. for The North Face Endurance Challenge. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Hannah had other plans and with the race cancelled we had the weekend off to explore a slightly soggy version of Maine. Now that the sun is shining again we are finally headed south to meet up with our friends at National Geographic. Should be a fun week!

MMMMMM! .... Maple Syrup!
We recently spent some time working and traveling in the picturesque state of Vermont. First, we went to Middlebury College to work with over 100 student trip leaders. These students are responsible for leading several trips for incoming freshmen. Next, we drove through several Vermont towns that looked like they should be on postcards (and probably were) and arrived in Castleton. At Castleton we met up with a former Leave No Trace intern, Nick Korda, and spoke with several students at Castleton State College.
The Eco-Fest in Burlington was the final stop for our little tour of Vermont. Put on by the Outdoor Gear Exchange, the Eco-Fest was a 5 hour event in the downtown area that featured a local band and one of our favorite partners, Chaco! We spent the afternoon chatting with the locals about Leave No Trace.
NASPD- Keeping it real in a virtual world
This past week we had the great honor of being on hand for the 2008 National State Park Directors Conference in Boise, Idaho. This year's theme, "Keeping it real in a virtual world" tackled the realities state parks are facing regarding the every changing technological world we now live in. Directors attended a variety of presentations dealing with how to cope with the challenges state parks are facing in 2008. Attendees learned how to reconnect kids with nature, the use of technology as an interpretative tool, and using technology to enhance park operations.
Leave No Trace was on hand as a follow up from last year's conference where directors signed a letter of understanding to promote Leave No Trace within state parks. We offered state park resource guides to help directors implement the resources Leave No Trace has to educate the public how to minimize user impacts on their lands. We also promoted partnership with the Center as an effort to provide the public with the skills and ethics necessary to preserve our parks. We wanted to thank the great state of Idaho for hosting the conference this year, and for taking such good care of us while we were in Boise.
Happy Trails,
Topher & Alexis

Start Your Engines
After a great deal of hard work by engineers, shipbuilders, and construction workers, our new ferry system starts out with two vessels and one route. The service links Victoria, the provincial capital on Vancouver Island, with the City of Vancouver.
Points of departure are Swartz Bay on the Victoria side, and Tsawwassen, which is south of Vancouver. (At Tsawwassen, a two-mile long causeway and an artificial island have to be created before the ferry terminal can be built.)
We first operate under the hefty moniker "British Columbia Toll Authority Ferry System," and our mission is fairly straightforward: to provide a safe and dependable marine transportation link. Over the years our name may become less of a mouthful, but the scope and complexity of our operation expands exponentially.
The M.V. Tsawwassen and the M.V. Sidney begin regular service on June 15, 1960, one of the windiest, rainiest days of early summer. But the vessels keep to their schedules and carry plenty of passengers. In subsequent months, the weather becomes something of an ally. Airports are fogged in much of the time, and many people who would normally fly across the water end up busing it out to our terminals. They soon learn that the ferry ride takes only slightly longer than flight, but at a fraction of the cost. These discoveries, plus the quality of the travel experience, prove to be very good for business.
By the end of year one, our fledgling system manages to turn a profit, and growth follows quickly.
As our first decade progresses, passenger numbers continue to rise. So a decision is made to add to our inventory of deck space by engineering some enlargements.
The first part of BC Ferries' now famous "stretch and lift" program begins in 1970 when four of our major vessels are cut down the middle so that an 84-foot midsection can be "spliced" in. Similar operations have been performed on small boats, but this is the first time large ships have undergone such extensive alterations.
Five years later, the "lift" part of our "stretch and lift" program is implemented. Four major vessels are hauled back into dry dock and sliced horizontally. The two halves are separated from each other, so that a new upper car deck can be slid into place, thus giving birth to our "V" Class ships and concluding one of the boldest projects in the history of marine engineering.
As the fourth decade progresses, that tradition of practical innovation continues with the construction of two massive Spirit Class vessels and the creation of the fleet's first aluminum-hulled fast catamaran vessels- the PacifiCats.
At the beginning of our fifth decade, BC Ferries retires and then sells the Queen of Sidney, one of the first two ships constructed for BC Ferries. The decade also sees the decommissioning of several other ferries, including the Queen of Tsawwassen in 2008.
During the summer of 2000, BC Ferries introduces reservations on the Internet. Several months later, in November, we reach the ½ billionth passenger milestone, a phenomenal figure to get your head around.

A business plan explains in writing what your business idea is, why the market needs it, how it will succeed and who will make it happen. What are your company's goals? How will it achieve them? A business plan can be a brief, informal document for internal use or a detailed, formal document used to attract investment capital or secure a business loan. In this tutorial, we'll teach you how to create the latter.
Many people start successful businesses without a formal, detailed business plan. Indeed, a school of thought called the lean startup methodology eschews lengthy, forward-looking business plans in favor of quickly and cheaply finding out whether potential customers, purchasers and partners are interested in a product or service, then redirecting or refining that idea based on their feedback before investing too much time and money developing something that might be a huge failure.
This methodology absolutely has merit, and it may be one that your company can follow initially. But at some point, you will likely be forced to create a formal business plan to get a loan or secure backing from investors in order to grow your company. Those potential sources of money for growing your business will be more likely to help you if you're already engaged in product testing and have made improvements based on what you've learned, however.
Whether you run a startup or a well-established firm, writing a business plan will not only help you get capital, it will also help to reveal any flaws in your business concept or its execution. And it will give you a chance to correct those issues before you or anyone else invests too much time or money. It will force you to examine every aspect of your company in great detail and think hard about what's working and what might not be. For example, you might discover that you haven't really thought enough about your marketing budget or you haven't done enough research on the government regulations that affect your bottom line.
Furthermore, writing a business plan forces you to examine your company from the viewpoint of a skeptical potential lender or investor, not just from your perspective as an enthusiastic entrepreneur. (Learn to assess how businesses generate their revenue in Getting to Know Business Models.)
In the following chapters, we'll explain the different sections of a formal business plan and what each section should include to give your company the best shot at getting the capital it needs.

Whether you have a daily routine or not, this is a very tactical episode for you to take into consideration on your way to personal development. If you are in a situation where you can not take notes and focus on today's talk, please consider listening to this episode again, at a time where you can better sink in in its message.
The question Jake is launching in this episode is: "Why do we need to set up our day the night before?" The system that Jake has in place and has decided to share with us focuses on 6 easy and simple steps summarized in the acronym SLEEPS.
What does SLEEPS stand for? In order to fully understand how the SLEEPS system works, you have to follow Jake's advice on how to organize all the six steps so that you can enjoy the benefits. Here they are:
S stands for Smile – represents the reflection of what happened during the day, identifying what was that one thing that made you smile.
L stands for Learn – every day is an opportunity for learning new things and improving what we do and who we are.
E stands for Exercise – the more you start guarding your workout time, the sooner you will reap the benefits of taking care of your body.
E stands for Execute – plan out 3 objectives that you want to accomplish the second day and make sure you also include the 4th objective, which is a must and has to happen no matter what goes on that day. These are tactical objectives that can make a difference in your schedule and your life.
P stands for Phone call – show gratitude in simple ways like calling someone or sending a message to thank them for a particular thing that mattered to you.
S stands for Smile – identify the second objective or thing that made you smile at the end of the day. Keeping a good attitude before going to bed, will also help you rest better.
Start your day the night before by practicing the SLEEPS system and your day will look different straight from the start.

PARIS, September 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeo is presenting an electric show car at the Paris Motor Show. This demonstration vehicle showcases a wide range of innovative technologies that increase the autonomy of electric vehicles.
Valeo's ambition is to become the preferred partner of automakers in reducing CO2 emissions, and the show car demonstrates both the Group's expertise and that of its partners in the area of electric drivetrain and thermal management, as well as in products that reduce the vehicle's energy consumption and weight.
Power electronics, improving efficiency and extending range
The electric motor is controlled by an inverter, a component with considerable impact on performance. The high efficiency of Valeo's inverter helps to extend range by reducing the consumption of the drivetrain. The inverter also shares part of its circuit with the battery charger and the motor, helping to reduce mass and cost.
Thermal management, optimizing energy flows
Valeo's new thermal architecture for electric vehicles has three interacting fluid loops that recover energy where it is lost and deliver it to where it is needed. This global architecture guarantees the reliability of the drivetrain components, passenger comfort and maximum range.
Thermal accumulator: 10% extra range in cold weather
Valeo's new thermal accumulator stores a considerable amount of heat when the battery is charging. This source of heat, independent from the battery, extends range by around 10% in cold weather. Alternatively, Valeo has developed a heat pump system that reduces the electricity requirement for heating and extends range even further.
Optimized air-conditioning compressor
The show car's air conditioning has an electrically driven scroll compressor, which offers high efficiency, low noise and vibrations, and reduced size in order to facilitate its integration into the vehicle.
Thermal management of the battery to deliver maximum energy
The temperature of the lithium-ion battery is controlled by a water loop, which is hot or cold according to the need, and which delivers maximum energy in all circumstances. Valeo also offers alternative solutions, including an air circulation system, a direct cooling system using a refrigerant, and a reversible thermo-electric hot-cold system.
Smart key to communicate with the vehicle
The user has a smart key which displays the battery's charge level up to 500 meters from the car. It can also order the car to activate climate control prior to travel, by turning on the heating or air conditioning while the vehicle is connected to the grid.
Low consumption low beam LEDs
20W low beam LEDs provide equivalent light to 60W halogen bulbs. When used with front and rear LED position lamps, this technology alone increases range at night by at least 2%.
New multifunction control panel
The show car's dashboard has a control panel with a particularly high-quality finish. It stands out both for its style and for the ergonomics of the various user interfaces. In order to meet increasingly exacting demands for quality, the climate control and radio functions have been grouped together, reducing the size of the panel and standardizing all the functions that interface with the driver or passengers.
New safety and driving assistance functions
Valeo has a system that detects pedestrians on the vehicle's trajectory and emits a sound signal targeted at the area in which they are located. In order to do this, the show car has cameras and ultrasonic sensors that ensure this as well as additional functions: automatic docking (automatic cable-free connection), semi-automatic parallel or perpendicular parking, assistance exiting a parallel parking space, automatic switching between high and low beams, BeamAtic(R) Premium, speed limit sign recognition and lane departure warning.
Revolutionary new wiper system
In place of the traditional nozzle spray system, the AquaBlade(R) wiper uses a tube inside the blade to spread the washer fluid evenly across the windshield. Unlike the spray system, therefore, it preserves visibility during wiping, and halves the amount of washer fluid required. Valeo has also developed direct-drive synchronized motors with no linkage between the two wiper blades. These innovations reduce the weight of the system by a total of 3.7 kg.
Valeo is an independent group, fully focused on the design, production and sale of components, integrated systems and modules for the automobile industry, mainly for the reduction of CO2 emissions. It is one of the world's leading automotive suppliers. The Group has 117 plants, 21 research centers, 40 development centers and 10 distribution platforms and employs 56,000 people in 27 countries worldwide.

Summer is a busy time for me I spend a lot of my hours out in the gardens. All of my crafting time is pushed into little bits of time after dinner or when it's dark or raining. The blessing of my recent passion is that I can do it just about anywhere and anytime with nothing but my laptop and portable hard drive.
Me and the husband took a much needed vacation to a little island called PSV it's uber private and beyond secluded, you can spend seven full days and never see another person if you want, we like that A LOT!
I finally got eighteen of my digital pages printed via Scrapping Simply and now I'm really hooked! They are beautiful and turned out far better than I could've imagined. I'm really excited to do more and even in different sizes.
Of course all of this may need to wait as with the holidays fast approaching it's time to get focused on cards and gifts. I'll be sharing more (and more) as time marches on.
And no I didn't take my laptop with me on vacation! This quick page was done with one of the pictures we took on the island and Studio Manu's Vintage Summer Bundle.

Dubai's police force has been astounding us as of late with a streak of exotic car purchases. Yeah, in Dubai you can get pulled over by a Ferrari FF, a Lamborghini Aventador, or even a $1.4 Million Aston Martin One-77. So when we heard that the world's most expensive police fleet had added another car, we expected a Pagani Huayra, or a Koenigsegg Agera, or a 1936 Mercede-Benz 540k Spezial Roadster or something else ridiculous like that.
Instead, the Dubai police have suddenly turned into eco-consious Frenchmen and purchased a 20 horsepower electric Renault Twizy. We're not really sure why.

Fall is a time that homeowners often look forward to because energy costs are low. It's cool enough that air conditioning isn't needed and warm enough to avoid turning on the heat. It's also a great time to prepare heating systems for winter as well as making sure heating systems are run as efficiently as possible. In this post, we will look at five things you can do to prepare your heating system for the cold winter months and hopefully save yourself some money in the process.
- Inspect your filters
Filters that are covered with dirt and other debris cut down airflow in your heating system. When filters are properly maintained or changed when they get clogged it puts less stress on the heating system. This means that clean filters allow the heating system to work less hard which saved money on energy as well as putting less strain on internal components of the system.

Today we "traveled" deeper into Brazil to learn more about the Amazon Rain Forest! We read the book The Great Kapok Tree where we learned about the importance of preserving the rain forest as well as kind of animals we would see if we took a trip there. After we read the book we made our very own Monkeys! We used all different shapes to make our monkey, including circles, and even a heart!
After the faces were finished we began working on the bodies. We used recycled shredding to stuff our bags we used for the bodies.
To made the arms, legs, and tail we used a long piece of paper and crumbled it long ways.

Richard Dawkins, the British scientist who is arguably as famous for his zealous promotion of atheism as he is for his groundbreaking work in evolutionary biology, found rare common ground with Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who wears his devotion to Christianity on his sleeve, yesterday.
Both men, it turns out, don't like Muslims very much. While Dawkins' comments were milder, they betrayed a generalized distaste for Muslims surprising in a man noted for his devotion to science and distaste for simplistic explanations of complex phenomena.
Dawkins kicked up a storm on Twitter earlier (he has over 770,000 followers) with a string of comments about Muslims' lack of Nobel Prizes that were attacked as bigoted far and wide.
It is true of course true that Trinity College's 32 Nobel Prizes are more than the 10 awarded to Muslims. But what makes this an "intriguing fact" to Dawkins? The fact that Muslim majority societies have been generally poorer than Western ones for centuries is well understood. When the Nobel Prize was founded in 1901, the vast majority of the world's Muslims lived in countries ruled by foreign powers, and for much of the 20th century Muslims did not have much access to great centers of learning like Cambridge.
The ranks of Nobel prize winners have traditionally been dominated by white, Western men – a reflection of both the economic might of the West in the past century, preferential access to education for that class of people and also, it must be added, a wonderful intellectual tradition. But one might as well be intrigued by the fact that Africans have fewer Nobels than Trinity (nine) or that Indians do (four) or that Chinese do (eight). Or perhaps Dawkins is "intrigued" that women have only won 44 Nobel Prizes, compared with 791 for men?
All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though.— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) August 8, 2013
You can attack someone for his opinion. But for simply stating an intriguing fact? Who would guess that a single Cambridge College . . .— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) August 8, 2013
Why mention Muslim Nobels rather than any other group? Because we so often hear boasts about (a) their total numbers and (b) their science.— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) August 8, 2013
Dawkins, as an educated man, should be well aware of the legacy of colonialism and of simple poverty. And he is certainly aware that the divergence of academic achievement across the world is a complex topic that needs to take into account culture, politics, and economics. His comments today did not indicate that.
Well, at least he has company.
Mr. Huckabee had a few words about Muslims in general on his syndicated radio show yesterday. Responding to the US embassy closures across Africa and the Middle East this week, he targeted the entire faith, saying that attendance at Friday prayers whips Muslims up into a violent, animalistic frenzy and linked terrorism to the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which was yesterday.
I know we're not supposed to say anything unkind about Islam... I mean, it's politically incorrect. I get that. But can someone explain to me why it is that we tiptoe around a religion that promotes the most murderous mayhem on the planet in their so-called 'holiest days.'
You know, if you've kept up with the Middle East, you know that the most likely time to have an uprising of rock throwing and rioting comes on the day of prayer on Friday. So the Muslims will go to the mosque, and they will have their day of prayer, and they come out of there like uncorked animals — throwing rocks and burning cars.
You know, I'm just pointing out that for all of the demands that we're supposed to be so very polite, and I'm not saying all Muslims are radical and I am not saying that all Muslims are violent. I'm not. But we as a government recognize that the most likely times for them to erupt in some type of terrorist activity, violent storming of an embassy, is on their holy days.
The good news for "them" is that so far no animals, uncorked or otherwise, have been observed emerging from mosques as the world's estimated 1.3 billion Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
It's always nice when atheists and men of faith can find common ground. Isn't it?

"Dave traveled to our location to offer the SafeLand Basic Orientation at a time that worked best for my company. The class was very informative, well taught, group discussion was encouraged and beneficial. Dave has extensive knowledge in the subject matter that he presents and is very passionate about employee health and safety. I look forward to having him in to teach more of our safety training needs."

4J Well Service is one of our earliest and steadiest clients. We have done many training sessions for Justin and his crew. Most recently 1st Aid/CPR/AED.
Thank you Justin!
"Our company found that we needed SafeLandUSA Basic training. We contacted several local/regional entities that could provide training. Fox Safety immediately rose to the top of our list after being the most responsive, most flexible, and lowest price. We had to reschedule at least once, but Dave accommodated us with no problems. The training itself came off quite well; Dave was very well prepared and had a wealth of experience to draw upon. (Note: that this all happened while Dave was dealing with a loss in his family, and he was very focused and professional throughout.) We will be contacting Dave next time we need safety training."

Jennifer Love Hewitt (born February 21, 1979) is an American actress, producer, television director and former singer-songwriter. Hewitt began her acting career as a child by appearing in television commercials and the Disney Channel series Kids Incorporated. She rose to fame in teenage popular culture in her roles in the Fox series Party of Five as Sarah Reeves Merrin, and films I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequel as Julie James.
Hewitt's appearance has been the subject of media attention throughout her career. She has been lauded as one of the most attractive women in the entertainment industry by publications such as Maxim, in which she was named the sexiest woman in the world in 1999, and TV Guide, which named her the sexiest woman on television in 2008. In 2007, paparazzi photos of Hewitt on a beach led to a much-publicized matter in which she defended her weight, and was supported by other celebrities. These incidents received coverage from People magazine.
In addition to acting, Hewitt has also served as a producer on some of her film and television projects. In 2010, Hewitt wrote a book on relationships entitled The Day I Shot Cupid. She starred on the hit CBS television program Ghost Whisperer as Melinda Gordon, a young woman who can communicate with ghosts, for which she won a Saturn Award in 2007 and 2008 for Best Actress on Television. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her television movie The Client List.

Chelsea Surprised By Sexist Comments
"I didn't really get how much sexism there still was in our country until I was at a rally with my mom in New Hampshire, and someone came up to me and said, 'I just can't see a woman being commander in chief,"' Clinton said during a stop in Research Triangle Park.
She also noted another New Hampshire rally that was disrupted by men who stood up and told Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton to "Iron my shirt." And she quietly questioned why some people find humor in a nutcracker doll that looks like her mother.
The younger Clinton said that she didn't understand that sexism still existed because she has always been supported by both the men and women in her family.
"I didn't realize that that wasn't expected yet in the rest of our country," Clinton said. "I have been so profoundly more grateful than I have ever been over the past few months for my parents because of that."
Clinton spoke at the Young Democrats of North Carolina convention in Research Triangle Park - an event that normally draws only appearances for statewide races. On Saturday, campaign officials for both Obama and Clinton sent surrogates to speak, seeking support ahead of the state's May 6 primary. Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker appeared on behalf of Obama.
On several occasions during her speech, Clinton referred to the North American Free Trade Agreement - a pact often blamed for the acceleration of textile and manufacturing job losses across the state - and explained why her former president father and aspiring president mother differed on the issue.
An audience member who said his mother lost her job when it was shipped to Mexico asked Clinton how he could reconcile the passage of NAFTA under the Bill Clinton administration with Hillary Rodham Clinton's opposition of the free trade agreement.
"We don't agree on everything as a family," Chelsea Clinton said. "I agree with my mother on most things - not everything. I agree with my father on most things - not everything. My mother and father agree on most things - not everything."
Clinton, along with rival Barack Obama, repeatedly criticized NAFTA during her successful Ohio primary campaign. She has said she would renegotiate trade agreements and end tax breaks for corporations that send jobs out of the country.
The 1994 landmark NAFTA pact opened trade with Canada and Mexico.
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards also made an appearance at Saturday's event, revisiting his stump speech talking points and taking the stage for the first time since dropping his White House bid two months ago.
The former North Carolina senator praised both of his former rivals, but declined to endorse either candidate.
"I have a very high opinion of both of them," Edwards said. "We would be blessed as a nation to have either one of them as president."
Both Obama and Clinton have repeatedly lobbied Edwards for his endorsement, flying into Chapel Hill to meet with him privately and touting his accomplishments on the campaign trail. Before leaving the race, Edwards won a promise from both Clinton and Obama to make ending poverty central to their ongoing campaigns for the White House.
On Saturday, Edwards pointed out the historical nature of both of their campaigns and said both were better suited in carrying forward his campaign platform than Republican John McCain.
"We are blessed, first, to have an extraordinarily talented African American who could be the next president of the United States," Edwards said. "There's no way to contest the fact that he's inspired this country."
"And Sen. Clinton, who has served America for so long and so well, and has shown so much strength and leadership, has really forged an extraordinarily historic campaign as a woman for the nomination and for the presidency."
Pressed by reporters to detail any endorsement plans, Edwards declined to even say if he would endorse a candidate before the state's primary.
"When I have something to say, I'll let you know," he said.

Digi Scrap anyone?
Having said that though, I do have a few digi kits loaded onto my computer and there are some great tutorials out there for anyone that wants to give it a try. I managed to throw together a couple of pages in not a lot of time thanks to the direction of my friend Pam.
So if you love the idea of scrapbooking but can't see yourself getting into the paper variety for one reason or another (funds, room, time) then I would recommend you try digital scrapbooking! I must admit if I didn't already work with paper products in such a big way I would probably be more inclined to jump in with both feet.
And where do you start I hear you ask? Well it just so happens that my talented friend Pam (mentioned above) has started selling her gorgeous digi kits and sketch kits online! You can check out her stuff here: DESIGNS BY PAM
And in the spirit of sharing, here are a couple of my (first, so be gentle!) digital pages :)

Happy Friday
I can't complain as I did find some time to do a few cards last night and just thought I would share them here.
Supplies: Stamps by My Favorite Things, Paper by Kaiser, All card by Stampin'Up! in tempting turquoise, pretty in pink, whisper white, and basic black. Ribbon is also SU! I coloured the image using faber castel pencils and used gamsol (odourless mineral spirits) to blend. The background was done using the cuttlebug swiss dots embossing template and I matted the image using my new Nestabilities templates.
This card was created for a Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. All I changed from the original was the image and the papers.
Supplies: Stamps: My Favorite Things, cardstock, ribbon and paper by SU! in whisper white, chocolate chip and pretty in pink. Image was coloured using the same technique as above.
This last one was also a scraplift (or should that be a cardlift?) from a talented stamper named Frances Byrne (whose link I can't find right now!).
Supplies: Card, ribbon and ink from SU! in tempting turquoise, pretty in pink, basic black and whisper white. Paper by Prima, Stamped image is from My Favorite Things, cuttlebug embossed backgrounds again, and Gamsol and pencil technique for colouring.

Catching Up
I also received some parcels this week, including some new small stamp sets from Inkadinkado. I forgot to take a pic but will share the cards when I have actually made something with them.
I also finally ordered some Nestabilities and they should arrive in the next week or so ... have been waiting 6 months to get my hands on these!! and also an order of the gorgeous new My Favourite Things stamps (think cupcakes and ice cream sundaes!) as well as a small Stampin' Up! order. So do you think I am stalking the postie much? LOL
And now I am off to do some more cards as I actually have orders for two sets of cards in coordinating boxes which will be given as birthday presents. I always feel stressed when actually making cards for other people and selling them .. you know what it's like, wondering whether they will be good enough and whether the recipients will like them! Oh well, I can only do my best and hope they are happy with the results.
Have a great weekend!

Land West of Stonehouse planning application
The following statement has been issued by Ken Burgin and is endorsed by CCT Chairman Jack Telling.
A planning application for 1,350 houses and 9.3 hectares of business-industrial-warehousing land in Eastington/Stonehouse has recently been submitted to Stroud District Council.
Click here to go to the planning applications search page on the Stroud District Council website.
Next, copy the reference S.14/0810/OUT into the search box at the bottom.
You can then open up the details at the bottom by clicking on the small box with a "+" in it to gain access the plans and documentation and to submit an on-line comment.
This very large development is close to, but not right up against, the canal in the Phase 1B length. Such large developments usually provide a substantial financial contribution in the £ millions into the locality through Section 106 planning agreements (S.106).
The Cotswold Canals Trust is not proposing to take a view as to whether the proposed development is a good idea or not (individual members will have their own and potentially differing views).
However, if it goes ahead, we think that the canal project should receive a very large S.106 contribution in recognition of its value as a recreational and green commuting corridor for the future residents and users of this development.
Such a contribution could be key to the Trust finding enough matched funding to enable Phase 1B to go ahead.
We would therefore encourage you to object because the application does not provide a substantial S.106 financial contribution towards the canal project.
Even if you decide you want to object to the whole thing, you may still wish to make the point that there should be a contribution towards the canal were it to be approved.
Objections can be in writing to Stroud District Council:
Planning Department,
Or, click here to go back to the planning applications search page
Alternatively click here to email SDC Planning Department.
Closing date is 28th April.

I took to my Facebook page and Insta to display the amazement of Williams' speech, in his steadfast and dangerously calm voice.
I did break down in tears, because he put out, in front of millions of viewers a message that so valiantly voiced the sentiments of the African Diaspora. He assuaged the pain and torment of the African experience with his powerful words. Just last week I penned Where Is Our Leader? We are all but bursting forth to fight for Black Liberation, to put at end, once and for all, to the inequality and wickedness of white supremacy and domination.
I must thank Williams' for helping bring the message to those who still haven't figured it out, who are still trying to compete in a white man's world and suppress their beautiful Blackness, and for those who think Blackness is thuggery and cool kicks. He may just be responsible for starting a revolution, and not a moment too soon.

Sponsor the 2014 Mansion Fun Run…4 LOVE!
BY STEPHEN JUDD Please join with Erma and me as a sponsor, as we run in the Mansion Fun Run in a few weeks. We will be running with the Mansion Kids and staff members in an effort to raise $61,000 for Tupelo Children's Mansion...a thousand dollars for each year of TCM's existence! Some will run 1-3 kilometers, and others will run further distances of 5-10 kilometers, or more. I am hoping to make at least 10K, and will be trying for a 1/2 marathon! Not bad for almost 61...another reason for the $61,000 goal! Believe it or not, I was born in Tupelo in 1953, the same year that the Mansion opened it's doors for the first time. So, will you help us change lives and reach our goal of $61,000 by sponsoring us with a donation of $25, $10, $100, $50 or more? Perhaps you can give $500 or even $1,000. Every gift is important, regardless of the amount, and will make a difference in the life of a child in need. If you can give $50 or more, you'll receive a fantastic Fun Run T-shirt that you can wear to show your support for the Mansion. Be sure and let us know your T-Shirt size on the website with your online donation, or if sent in the mail. Please help us rescue a child by going ONLINE to make a donation at: https://mansionkids.org/give/mansion-fun-run/ Or, you can MAIL your donation to: TCM Fun Run, PO Box 167, Tupelo, MS 38802 Erma and I hope to hear from you real soon!

Paint it Grey!
Stony Monday Riot unveiled its first ever third t-shirt in HISTORY last Friday. Some members of the Riot were the first to see the new shirts. Later in the morning the shirts were revealed on small screens across the internet to everyone watching youtube instead of the EPL on a Saturday morning, decked out in their pajamas with bacon grease and tofu stains. The fine heather grey t-shirts pay tribute to the casual fan who cannot decide what colour to wear. The neutral is instantly converted into a fanatic, however, with an ink marked "FURY ALWAYS WITH YOU" printed on the back.
Featuring the new "rock" inspired logo, harking back to the days of hair metal and sloan, these brand new T-Shirts are driven by a 4-4 beat of non-stop adrenaline and two-fours.
"They come in various sizes," said minivan driver Jonathan Bagg. "You can wear them for a rip or an Ashley Morgan dinner-date in Wellington West. Beard not provided. My cleanest shirt as of right now!"
The launch of the new t-shirts, by Alstyle and are all cotton to absorb water, came as a big surprise to the town Vicar who's slow motion reaction clearly showed his staged shock. It only took two takes. He was amongst a select group of fans who had nothing better to do on a Friday night.
"Grey is the new black," joked rioter Matt Hawkins. "Also the new white and the new red. It is also just grey. The retro design reminds me of high school in the '90s. I can't wait to see Section W in a plaid pastiche of black, white, red and now grey."
Supporting the best team in the North American Soccer League, Stony Monday Riot look forward to debuting their new third t-shirt when the Ottawa Fury FC face off against the Tampa Bay Rowdies later tonight at 7PM. Tickets for this match are available with SMR in Section W starting at 6PM at the Rock.
Shirts are now on sale for $20. You can get yours before each match at the Rock (front entrance of the Cow Palace) by Gate 3 in Lansdowne.

Tim Sherwood: Tottenham stars must stay focused or face the chop
TIM SHERWOOD has warned his Tottenham stars to stay focused on the job of qualifying for the Europa League, or face the chop.
Spurs are missing several key players to injury for their clash against Fulham on Saturday, with Roberto Soldado and Etienne Capoue out alongside defenders Jan Vertonghen, Kyle Walker and Michael Dawson.
Mousa Dembele is the only positive news on the injury front and is set to return from a hip complaint in a match that appears to mean much more to his former club.
Fulham are searching for a third successive win as the look to pull off a miraculous escape, whereas the best Spurs can hope for is qualifying the Europa League.
And Sherwood says his team must keep their cool and look to the results ahead of them.
"It's important that we concentrate on the job in hand," Sherwood said.
"The boys get paid a lot of money to play for Tottenham and we owe it to the fans that will turn out and watch them to keep focused on the game.
"If I see they are not focused on the game, then they don't play."

It seems to me that the current refugee crisis has divided European society into two rival camps: those who are in favour of hosting refugees and those who are against doing so. The essential problem of this societal polarization is that these two camps, united by principles rather than argument, are shouting monologues at each other rather than than having an open debate. The refugee crisis demands a debate on a higher level, a debate that can fuel the policy (re)formation that is necessary. Being a crucial aspect of this debate, let us have a brief look at the economics of the refugee crisis.
The refugee crisis and growth
When looking at economic growth in the sense of GDP growth, the overall prospects seem promising. The European Commission's economic forecasts recently concluded that the arrival of the estimated three million refugees by the end of 2016 will generate increases of annual GDP growth of 0.2-0.5 per cent in European countries affected by the inflow of migrants (Stone 2015). Although annual government spending on the hosting of refugees increases, Schieritz argues that the extra spending will not simply disappear: it will foster a growth of domestic demand. More competition on the unskilled labour market, on the one hand, can increase market efficiency. One potential pitfall is that the inflow of generally unskilled labourers will push the wages for unskilled work downwards (Schieritz 2015). This effect, however, seems limited (Haas 2014). Regardless, in order to protect employment in lower wage sectors and to allow refugees to integrate into the labour market, Sinn argues that the minimum wage could be decreased and that the government can compensate for this loss with individual subsidies to wages (Die Zeit 2015).
The refugee crisis and quality of life
The literature that has been dedicated to migrants' effect on the hosting country's economy is far more extensive than the literature on the effects on quality of life. Bodewig writes that given the horrific conditions in their countries of origin, Syrian refugees are likely to stay for a while. This means that once short-term humanitarian emergency needs are met, the refugees require sustainable housing, schooling and employment solutions (Bodewig 2015). Enabling migrants to enjoy the same quality of life as citizens of hosting countries requires substantial government investments.
These investments might be hard to sell to a population that fears losing its jobs, but development economists seem to provide the baseline argument for doing so. As Sen, among many other economists, has repeatedly argued, development is essential to growth, for an unhealthy, unskilled labour force will not be productive on the long term (Sen 1999). Extending this claim to the refugee crisis means that if governments want to reap the fruits of the inflow of labourers, they will have to invest in them. In this sense, the refugee crisis brings an interesting investment opportunity to European countries.
All in all, it is essential that further research be done into the issue so that the polarized discourse can become an informed debate.
Bottom line: The inflow of refugees into Europe could have positive effects on economic growth, provided that governments invest in the quality of life of the refugees.

AeroFS can delegate account management to your existing ActiveDirectory or LDAP server. In both cases, the AeroFS Appliance uses LDAP to talk to the account directory. Account management, including LDAP parameters, is configured through the AeroFS web admin interface under Identity Settings.
Basic Configuration
The following values make up the basic LDAP configuration:
- Server Host: the hostname or IP of your account server. This address must be resolvable by the Private Cloud Appliance.
- Server Port: the port to connect to. Default LDAP ports are 389 for ldap, and 636 for ldaps.
- Base DN: this will be the root of the search tree. Generally you would like to point this at the most specific node in your LDAP store that will include all the users that should have access to AeroFS. If you aren't sure where to point this, see below for some search techniques.
- Bind user name: to search for a user's email, AeroFS requires access to an account with the ability to run a search. In almost all cases, this should be an account with limited access that you create especially for the AeroFS Private Cloud Appliance. Don't use an unlimited administrator account here. Usually this is given in LDAP format ("CN=Directory Agent,DC=example,DC=com"), but ActiveDirectory will accept other formats ("\\DOMAIN\Directory Agent") etc. See below for hints on testing this.
- Password: the password for the bind account given above.
- Security: we strongly recommend you enable StartTLS or SSL. Selecting plaintext will result in a warning, and should be avoided for best network security.
Advanced User Configuration
Here you can configure specifics of your LDAP schema. Most users will not need to modify this section. See below for some hints on easily testing your deployment.
- Search scope: by restricting this search to the immediate children only, or ignoring the base DN, you can prune undesired matches from the LDAP result set. Normally this is set to "Search the object specified by Base DN and its entire subtree".
- User class: the object class that all users should belong to. This should be restrictive enough to disallow accounts that may have been allocated for software packages, devices, etc. This becomes part of the LDAP query in the authentication path.
- First name attribute: the attribute that stores the users' first name. Normally this should be "givenName".
- Last name attribute: the attribute that stores the users' last name. Normally this should be "lastName".
- Email attribute: the attribute in the user record that holds the primary email address. This attribute should hold the email address that users will provide to AeroFS as their login information.
- Additr certificate: if you are using TLS or SSL and your LDAP server does not have a publicly-signed certificate, you may need to set certificate information here. The certificate lets the AeroFS Private Cloud Appliance verify that it connected to the intended server and not an impostor. You should provide the certificate in PEM form (Base64-encoded DER). See below for more information on getting this value from the server.
Advanced Group Configuration
If you choose to enable LDAP Group Syncing on your appliance, more configuration options specific to Groups will appear below the checkbox. You may need to change these default values if you use custom LDAP Object Classes.
- Search Scope: similar to User Search Scope, except this scope is used when looking for groups to sync between LDAP and AeroFS. Normally this is set to "Search the object specified by Base DN and its entire subtree".
- Base DN: this will be the root of the search tree when AeroFS searches for groups to sync. Generally you should point this at the most specific node in your LDAP store that will include all the groups that you would like to have in AeroFS.
- Object Classes:the object classes that AeroFS will recognize as groups and sync from LDAP. Normally there are several different object classes which function as groups, please list them all here in a comma-separated list.
- Static Member Attributes: attributes on LDAP group nodes which hold group members' Distinguished Names (DNs) as values. Normally a groupOfNames object would have "member" as a static member attribute.
- Dynamic Member Attributes: attributes on LDAP group nodes which hold LDAP search URLs as values; any group or user returned by these search URLs will be regarded as a member of the group. Normally a groupOfURLs object would have "memberUrl" as a dynamic member attribute.
- Unique Member/Unique Identifier Attributes:the Unique Member attribute is an attribute of LDAP group nodes while the Unique Identifier Attribute is an attribute of possible group members. The values for the Unique Member attribute should uniquely specify users that are members of the group by matching the value of their Unique Identifier Attribute. An example would be the posixGroup object having "memberUid" as a Unique Member attribute, matching values of "uidNumber" on the group's members.
- Group Name Attribute: the attribute which holds the name of the LDAP group as you want it to appear in AeroFS.
- Daily Syncing Time: what time each day you want AeroFS to sync groups with your LDAP endpoint. You can also sync immediately from the Groups administration interface on the Web admin interface.
Testing LDAP connectivity
Any LDAP utility can be used to test and verify your LDAP connection information. The following examples use `ldapsearch`, freely available for OSX and Linux platforms. On Windows, try the ldp tool direct from Microsoft.
Basic connection tests
First, a basic connectivity test. This will validate our values for host, port, bind user name, and bind password.
In the following examples, the bind user name is "CN=Directory Manager"
For LDAP with TLS, our preferred configuration:
ldapsearch -ZZ -h ldap.example.com -p 389 -D 'CN=Directory Manager' -W
For LDAPS:
ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldap.example.com:636/ -D 'CN=Directory Manager' -W
For simple LDAP (last resort, not recommended in production):
ldapsearch -x -h ldap.example.com -p 389 -D 'CN=Directory Manager' -W
When the basic connectivity command succeeds, you can continue. If it fails with authentication error, you should check the permissions and value for the bind DN and the bind password.
If the LDAPS or TLS case fails, you may test the simple LDAP version just to validate the bind information. We strongly recommend you set up a secure LDAP channel using one of the transport-layer security modes.
You may require certificate information to enable TLS / SSL; see the section below.
Finding the root of the user tree
In this example, we'll start by looking for everything in "example.com", using TLS;
ldapsearch -ZZ -h ldap.example.com -p 389 -D 'CN=Directory Manager' -W -z 2 -b 'DC=example,DC=com' mail dn objectclass
The `-z 2` option just limits to the first 2 responses. The -b provides an LDAP path to a search location. Everything after that are the names of the attributes to return for each located record.
Here are the records returned by an LDAP server in our test environment:
# user.1, People, example.com dn: uid=user.1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: person objectclass: inetorgperson objectclass: organizationalperson objectclass: top mail: firstname.lastname@example.com # user.2, People, example.com dn: uid=user.2,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: person objectclass: inetorgperson objectclass: organizationalperson objectclass: top mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
From the results, we see:
- The test users are actually grouped under the node "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" - we will use this value for "Base DN"
- It looks like "organizationalperson" is a good value for us to use for the "object class" setting.
- By providing attribute names on this command line ("mail dn objectclass") we can validate the rest of the values to supply in the Advanced configuration - "First name attribute", "Email attribute", etc.
Supplying certificate information
It is possible that your LDAP server was not configured with a publicy-signed certificate. This may happen if your organization has it's own certificate authority, or if your LDAP server is using a self-signed certificate that you trust.
In this case, the AeroFS Appliance requires explicit configuration of the self-signed certificate. Otherwise TLS and SSL communication with the LDAP server will not be permitted.
The following command extracts the certificate from the server and puts it in the required PEM format:
openssl s_client -connect ldap.example.com:636 < /dev/null
When inserting the certificate, include the
---- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ---- and
---- END CERTIFICATE ---- lines in the setup configuration.

While out shopping at the local Wal-Mart on Thursday night, I decided to take a look in the trading card area near the front registers. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, or if I was "looking" for anything at all. But it's something I normally do whenever I go to a big box store.
I knew I had nowhere near enough for a box of cards, but they did have these.
For $4.99, I couldn't pass them up. I'm usually pretty late to the game when it comes to buying packs of current cards.
Originally, I wanted to show the cards in the order in which I pulled them. But I forgot this when I scanned them. So, if we look at them from right to left, you will see the order I saw them in.
Oh. And I started from the bottom portion of the pack(that's where I started).
Not a bad start! As usual, Upper Deck has a pretty decent photo selection.
I would say that the Michael Del Zotto is my favorite of the first group(a Ranger will always win my favor). A Jerome Iginla doesn't hurt either. The Phil Kessel is an MVP insert, falling at 1:6.
While Eric Staal and Daniel Sedin are great players, Lidstrom would be my favorite of the group. He was one of those players I grew up collecting in my early teens. And being that he retired last year, the photo selection couldn't be better!
Of course, the stand out of this group is the J.T. Brown(no offense to Kovalchuk). "Young Guns" card Young Guns fall 1:4. I'm not sure if he's any good, but I'll guess we'll have to wait and see.
And as you can clearly see here, there is no shortage of horizontal shots.
I guess I did okay. A couple of inserts, and a decent player selection. I'd say I got my money's worth, and I'll probably will buy a few more packs as I see them.
I know I've been on a hockey tear here, but I do have plenty of non-sports cards as well(I've just been on a hockey kick, due to the lock-out). But here's a preview of some non-sports pack rips you can expect to see somewhere down the line.
