it's time
I can miss so many things.
Confession: I have an alarm that goes off like the first faint notes of a sonata half an hour before they get home, before the first one opens the door and drops her book bag right there, her pony tail all wilted. I have to. It's long enough for me to remember that being able to be home with them is a gift; long enough for me to pray; long enough for God to pour something into me that I can offer them. But, it hasn't always been that way.
It wasn't long ago–really just days–that, swallowed up in my work, I lost track of mothering and twisted in my chair to see her there. I hardly lifted my fingers from this computer. I saw that look pass over her face, the gentle, thoughtful one that says she doesn't want to interrupt me. She had homework to do anyway, and that's what she said, sighing to turn and heft the bookbag (do those things really have to be so heavy?) again as she walked away from me and into the kitchen, out of sight.
I'm almost finished, I thought that day. I'll just tidy up a few things here and be done.
But for me, online time melts away even faster than the other kind. I can be as absorbed in my work as Adam is in his games or Riley is in her texts. My children can lose me to my to do list just as easily as I can lose them to their devices. Before I know it, I'm rushing into the kitchen and I'm late taking care of, well everything. The last time this happened, I realized we were just a couple of quick hours from closing another day and all I had to show for it was a collection of half-heard phrases. I hadn't even noticed when afternoon faded into evening, and the reality of my poor choices made me ache. I grieved the trade—a few more things done for what for me is the "creamy center" of life.
Painfully, I have discoved that if I'm working on the computer when they walk in the door, an entire afternoon can slip through my fingers and I'll miss the sight of them. I'll miss touching them with my fingers and the way Riley's face looks while she's telling me, the words tumbling almost too fast for her to catch them on her tongue, about what this friend and that friend said at school, about the friend who felt angry today. I'll miss the way she offers that last fact without criticism, the way her head tilts and momentary concern complicates her expression. I'll miss the way Zoe curls over her homework, pressing a hand against her forehead; the way she taps her pencil to whatever song travels to her ears through those bright blue earbuds. I'll miss the chance to stand right there in the kitchen with my daughter and pray about the benchmark tests she just wants to do her very best on, even though the grades don't count.
I know that if I'm cyber-living when they get home, I'll miss Adam working beside me in the kitchen. I'll miss the way he makes sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch that are twice the size of the ones I used to make—double the meat, double the cheese, because he's just hungry. And I know that when I finally migrate to where they are, when I finally remember again to see and hear all the living around me, they'll be just as absorbed as I've been by other things. These days, we can all so easily live in our heads or in no real place at all.
The alarming truth is that sometimes I just lose track of the really beautiful things–the eccentric things that make her laugh, the moment he misses his grandparents enough to talk about it, the tucked away thoughts she's reserved to say right now. Sometimes I'm so taken with work that I miss the softness of the light on their faces as afternoon drifts into twilight; I miss the impromptu hugs; I miss the questions that tell me how much they're growing. It's tragic to see it written down, but honestly, sometimes I forget to count the abundance of these gifts and give thanks.
Again and again and over and over I'm learning, just like my kids. And a mother teaching her children self-discipline must exercise some herself. So, now Adam has an alarm for computer time and Riley has an alarm for texting time and yes, I have an alarm too. And I made its sound something beautiful on purpose, because it's not an obligation but a choice to be present, a choice to gather up Grace.

By Suzanne Conlon, MA, NCC, RYT
"He's only one. He won't remember the divorce. He'll be fine."
If you've made this statement, you're partially right. He won't remember any details of the divorce. But that doesn't mean he won't be impacted by it. According to recent research, the most critical period for brain development is between the third trimester of pregnancy and age two.
"So what?" You might be asking yourself. "What does my divorce have to do with my child's brain development?"
Technically, nothing.
You, however, have everything to do with your child's brain development. During that critical "brain spurt" period between the third trimester and age two, your child is busy learning emotional self-regulation, stress management, and social connection. And you are his teacher. From your own heart rate, to your soothing voice, to your varied facial expressions he watches and learns. When you smile and exude joy, he learns to express joy. When you rock him close to your calmly beating heart, he learns to calm himself. When you lock eyes and exchange coos, he learns to relate socially.
Without your intervention, his brain will develop in a completely different (dysfunctional) way. If his experiences during this critical time are filled with separation, distress, fear or rage he may grow up to have emotional instability, have an inefficient stress tolerance, to be less empathic, or even have memory impairment.
"But I'm shielding him from the fights and I only cry when he's in the other room."
Just because he's not in the room with you doesn't mean that he won't be impacted by the stress you're under. In fact, researchers found that when mothers were stressed, "they were more irritable, critical and punitive. They showed less warmth and flexibility in interactions with their children. Overall stress seems to be a factor that has the power to disrupt parenting practices seriously."
"So you're saying this is going to totally screw him up??"
Fortunately no. The stress and emotional volatility of divorce has the potential to cause permanent harm, but it doesn't have to. Here's what you can do to ensure your child is not a casualty of your divorce.
1. Practice mindfulness. With your mind consumed with distressing thoughts (lawyers, court, finances, custody schedules, the loss of your identity as a married woman, you name it), you likely aren't paying attention to your words, your actions, or sometimes even your child. Before every interaction with your child, take the time to sweep those thoughts from your mind and bring your attention fully to your engagement with your child.
2. Get Your Heart Pumping. In this time of stress, your body, as well as your mind, is experiencing a state of heightened arousal. Prolonged exposure to stress can be toxic. Physical activity like running, gym workouts, or simply dancing around your living room gets your heart rate up. This helps your body to process and regulate excessive stress hormones. Regular physical activity (even just 10 minutes a few times a week) will help you to remain calm and collected with your child even when the stress of the divorce feels overwhelming.
3. Just Breathe. When life threatens to take you under, stop and breathe. See if you can breathe in to the count of four and then breathe out to the count of four. Close your eyes and narrow your focus to just this simple act. Doing so will slow your heart rate and provide relief to both your mind and body. By self-regulating your own difficult emotions, you will be modeling healthy emotional self-regulation to your child.
"And what if it's all still too much?"
Seek help from a professional. Psychologists, counselors and coaches can be an excellent sounding board and source of emotional support during this difficult time. The Divorce Center website lists local coaches or you can ask your friends and family for a referral. It can feel like an admission of weakness to seek help, but in fact it's just the opposite. It's a sign of true strength. Divorce is one of the hardest things you will ever endure. You don't have to go it alone.

Local couples plan weddings for today, July 7, 2007
Three years ago Paul Girouex stepped off the airplane in Bemidji with one dozen flowers in his hand, got down on his knee and proposed to Kristine Stark.
Stark, 39, and Girouex, 35, will wed today on July 7, 2007 - or as many are calling it, 07-07-07.
"I wanted the perfect day to marry the perfect guy," said Stark about selecting her wedding date.
Similarly, after deciding to delay their wedding one year, it didn't take Krista Jonsten and Chris Scanlan very long to select a date.
"We realized that next year [this year] is '07 - and July is a number 7 as well," Jonsten said. "We thought, 'Maybe the seventh is on a Saturday.'
"We looked at the calendar and said, 'Oh that would be the perfect date!'"
Today marks the jackpot of all wedding dates: July 7, 2007. In numerical form, 7-7-07, the date only comes along once in a century - and even more rarely does it fall on a Saturday.
Stark, who is marrying Girouex today in Iowa, their hometown, said she wanted so badly to get married on this date that she and Giroux waited for a couple of years before tying the knot.
"I truly hit the jackpot with him," she said.
Across the country couples have been scrambling to book weddings for today. While the rush hasn't been quite so mad here in Bemidji, there certainly has been some extra demand.
Reva Howe, the director of sales with the Hampton Inn & Suites, said today was the first Saturday booked for a wedding reception of all the weddings this year.
She also said she expects that Aug. 8, 2008, or 8-8-08, which falls on a Friday, also will be booked early. Many people consider the number 8 to be lucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for prosper or wealth.
Jonsten, who today is having a traditional wedding at Evangelical Covenant Church in Bemidji, said she knew of one other couple who also expressed an interest in getting married at the church today.
But, because Jonsten and Scanlan already had begun their pre-marital counseling, they had the date sealed.
"Our favorite number has always been seven," Jonsten said, adding that she has liked the number "pretty much all of my life."
"It just happened to be (Scanlan's) favorite number, too," she said. "It's a popular number."
Home wedding
Ellie Robia, 28, today will wed Dustin Holloway, 37, at her parents' home. She said the decision to get married on July 7, 2007, was mainly a coincidence.
While considering wedding dates for this summer, she was eyeing numbers that had a good ring to them, a multiple of five maybe. Or a nice, round number.
"We were looking at June, July or August and the Saturdays available," she said.
She wasn't too keen on idea of June 9 or 23, but was considering June 30, her father's birthday, when the idea struck her.
"I wondered if July 7 was really on a Saturday," she said. "And it was."
When Robia selected the date, she said she hadn't yet heard all the hype about couples scrambling to find locations or churches on July 7. Since then, she has read articles and seen reports about couples in Las Vegas and throughout the country who want to wed on this date.
But Robia didn't have to compete with other couples. Her wedding will take place at her parents' lake house in Pinewood.
"I really wanted to get married in my hometown," she said. "My family has lived here for 20 years."
Iowa wedding
Stark said she and Giroux considered a destination wedding about one year ago, but was unable to find any openings.
"We could take the trip, but we couldn't get married," she said. "Everything was completely booked."
Stark and Girouex originally planned to marry in the Bemidji area at Kohl's Resort, but decided it would be easier for the two of them to travel rather than having all of their friends and relatives come north. They met when they were 14 years old in Shenandoah, Iowa, just south of Omaha, Neb. They "drifted apart" but reconnected after Girouex left the service.
"He's a great guy," Stark said.
Cute sevens
While selecting the date, Robia said she asked some friends and relatives if they thought the idea of a 7-7-07 wedding was "cheesy" but they instead "thought it was cute," she said.
The date also lent itself to her wedding's tone. Instead of the formal script on the invitations that typically might read: On Saturday, the seventh of July, two thousand and seven, Robia's invitations were dated with 07.07.07.
She also used 07.07.07 on her wedding favors, which are personalized M&M candies, and on golf tees, as the weekend also features a golf outing.
After they marry today, Robia and Holloway will reside in Japan. Holloway is a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy and is stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. Robia, who also used to serve in the U.S. Navy, hopes to receive a position as a physician's assistant.
Holloway flew into the U.S. on June 30. He had left for Japan on New Year's Day this year.
"He was gone six months - it was hard," Robia said.
Holloway was granted two weeks' leave to get married. Robia, who met Holloway while she was in the U.S. Navy herself, said the commander at his base has been "very gracious."
Jonsten and Scanlan, who met each other through mutual friends, have been together for more than two years.
"We had a lot of the same friends, but we had never hung out," Jonsten said.
They have planned a traditional wedding with about 200 guests and are having six attendants apiece.
"We are just so happy," she said.

PC World recently posted about today's modern small business, Sans Office; an article which discusses how modern companies have been reshaped through the power of virtualization to take their day to day operations online. Does today's small business really need a bricks and mortar office premises? It appears not with our great mobile technology, our online storage solutions and robust cloud servers. If you are considering a virtual office for your small business, take a look at the top 10 benefits below.
A Cost Effective Solution
A virtual office is the most cost effective way of running your business. Without the burdening overheads of an expensive city office location, a virtual office is ideal for start-ups and entrepreneurs looking for a low cost solution. A virtual office means that staff can work remotely, allowing business owners to negotiate salaries with the pull that roles require no travel, mileage or fuel.
Complete Flexibility
Virtual offices give you complete flexibility for your business, making it easy for you to move working locations and meeting locations at the drop of a hat. If your business requires you to be malleable, a virtual office is the ideal solution.
Environmental Benefits
If your business cares about Corporate Social Responsibility, a virtual office can work in your favor by showing your customers, trade partners and stakeholders that you are reducing your carbon footprint by working virtually.
Increase Productivity
Without long commutes and the distractions of a busy office, productivity can be increased dramatically. It's quite common for businesses to come to a standstill during extreme conditions; icy roads and snow storms can make it difficult for companies to keep running but virtualized office remove this risk altogether.
Additional Space for Growing Businesses
Virtual offices are not only a cost effective solution for startups and internet businesses, but also a temporary solution for growing businesses looking to get an additional location in another part of the world.
Test the Market
If your company is expanding into a new area, taking the plunge can be scary. But a virtual office with remote staff members can be the low risk option which doesn't tie you down to a long commercial property contract.
Appear Professional to Your Clients
In the past, the idea of a virtual office may not have been as attractive. But internet businesses who want to market their Corporate Social Responsibility and their contribution to the environment will find the virtual office solution, one that is hugely beneficial. Appear professional to your clients with an official mailing address and a telephone answering or automated phone service.
Get a Prestigious Mailing Address
If your area code really matters to you and your clients, get a prestigious mailing address in some of the most sought after city locations from virtual office agencies such as London Executive Offices. First impressions count, so whether you want a mailing address in New York's Madison Avenue or a stylish reception in London's Mayfair, a virtual office location can help you obtain your ideals without the high costs.
Save Time
If you're setting up your business in a hurry, or in need of a virtual location in a new market, a virtual office will save you time.
Reduce Office Expenses
Office furniture and equipment can cost money. Day to day expenses will also add up in terms of utility bills and the cost of running on-site facilities. A virtual office location can offer you telephone answering services as well as access to its office equipment such as printers, scanners and copy machines should you need to use them.

Setting Up a Successful Web site
The Key to Successful Manufacturing Websites Is Designing them to be friendly both to search engines and human visitors. The way I like to create an industrial website design is to use the home page as a way to generate interest, establish credibility, and as the center of a site full of information your potential client is looking for. So if your selling industrial tubing, use the home page to establish your brand, show that you are a leader in the field, and introduce the unique selling point your manufacturing firm has over its competitors. Make it bright, clear, and interesting, with a good dose of selling mixed in. Then, make the navigation to the information pages readily accessible. I like to use pictures with short introductions as navigation panes. This is called the newspaper layout and it is quite successful both with visitors as well as search engines. These navigation panes lead to category pages, which themselves lead to the specific product descriptions. This gives your site a nice silo structure, which search engines love, naturally increasing your search engine rankings.
Remember, people love to surf. Let them click their way through your site to the information they are looking for. Have each page continue to establish authority and trust in your market as it leads them through the sales funnel towards contacting you for a quote.
Do this and your website will be successful not only in getting search engines to drive traffic to your site but also in getting that traffic to convert to clients once there.

There is no dipstick and the filler hole is on top of the gearbox. The parts man in my local Honda dealer said that you just keep pouring until it comes up through the filler hole - but that doesn't sound right. Is there another 'level check' hole? Or do I pour in a measured amount? Thanks

When I first moved to Seattle I lived in a cramped studio in the heart of the city. I could walk to Nordstrom, Pike Place and any cuisine my little heartp could have desired. My next place was a modern two bedroom with a rooftop deck overlooking the canal close to running trails and vintage shops and my school. Over the Summer I tried out frat life in the U-District sharing a small bedroom with three other girls and a sticky bathroom with yucky boys. Finally in January I shared a townhouse with two strangers from Craigslist but finally fulfilled my dream of my very own walk-in closet before my apartment went into foreclosure and I was forced to find a new place quickly last month.
I've lived in so many different spaces over the past few years. The small studio in a prime location taught me that I DO value space and in exchange I'm willing to give up a few amenities (bye-bye pretty apartment gym and rooftops with skyscraper views). The two bedroom in Fremont showed me how much I love being able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops and running trails and my recent town-home introduced me to the beauty of a lease and the legal protection it provides. Who would have thought right?
Though my move was quite quick and felt a bit like chaos I tried to take into account the lessons I have learned when searching for an apartment. When I moved to my Fremont apartment I played a little game asking you to guess which place I chose. I thought it would be fun to see if you guys can guess correctly again! Keep in mind I didn't use any actual photos from the real apartments…I will (of course) feature a real tour when I move in at the end of the month. Go off of the descriptions more than the pictures when making your guesses. I hope you have as much fun playing along as I did creating this!
Option One| Magnolia Condo
This two bedroom condo in the quiet and safe community of Magnolia is fairly new and up to date. Magnolia is filled with lots of parks, trails for running and is close to downtown though not lively in its own right. The apartment is large (over 800 sq. ft.), well taken care of and offers a small outdoor space for a table or outdoor furniture and a storage unit which would be great for storing skis/holiday decorations/etc.
+ A full bathroom including a bathtub, cabinet space and a washer and dryer. Nothing calms me down when I'm stressed like a hot, candlelit bath and a good book. Living here would mean I could enjoy bubble baths every day of the week if I want to!
+ Two Bedrooms for the price of "one" means converting one into an office/gigantic walk in closet. It's a Carrie Bradshaw dream come true!
+ Lots of parking, not only are there two parking spaces with the unit but if I have guests over parking won't be a struggle. There is street parking everywhere and the neighborhood is quiet and safe so no one will have to feel sketched out walking to their car at night.
– The neighborhood feels safe and quiet (a pro obviously) but also a bit isolated. Many families flock to this location so it isn't exactly the "happening" spot for early twenty-somethings or younger crowds.
– The fact that it is a condo rather than an apartment freaks me out a little bit. The owner lives in Georgia so if a sink is leaking or the washer and dryer break I imagine the process for fixing anything will take longer than a typical apartment with a rental office down the hall.
– While the living room/kitchen area is bright and airy the two bedrooms have smaller windows and less natural light then I would like. I am such a sucker for bright rooms and natural light I don't want to feel like I am living in a basement dungeon!
Option Two|Fremont Vintage Tudor
This spacious one bedroom is in a neighborhood I adored living in before. The community is eclectic and artsy with a neighborhood feel while still offering many sources of entertainment like parades, farmers markets and art shows. The building is older but well taken care of, includes an attached garage and features cute details like chandeliers and crown molding even though the laundry is downstairs in a shared basement.
+Great vintage feel! Everything about this apartment screams "CHARMING"! From the crown molding to the delicate floral detailing around the fireplace to the blue tiles in the kitchen the aesthetic is adorable.
+ Interesting floor plan with lots of closet space. This apartment is 800 sq. ft. and one bedroom. The bedroom itsself is fairly small but the large walk in closet could even be a small office if I really wanted (but why would I want that when I could use it as a haven for my shoes?).
+ I am in love with the location of this apartment. I lived in Fremont before and was so happy with the artistic vibe of the community. This apartment isn't as centrally located as my last place but is still technically within walking distance of cute restaurants, grocery stores and boutiques.
– Laundry in the Building as opposed to in the unit. I've dealt with communal laundry before and am in no way "above it" but after having my own laundry machine for the past three years I'm not sure I would love the adjustment back to a shared washer and dryer. Spare quarters anyone?
– The landlord giving the tour was EXTREMELY "hover-y" to say the least. She was prying for really unnecessary details about my personal life ("How old are you?" "Are you married?" "Where did you go to school?") and even though I'm an easy tenant I can foresee her nosiness and over involvement as a slight annoyance in the future.
– The bathroom is teeny tiny. Although it is completely functional I would need to find another space for all of my makeup/lotion/hair products as there is zero cabinet space and the pedestal sink (though cute) offers no counter space.
Option Three|Capitol Hill Loft
The loft on Capitol Hill is prime real estate for many Seattle residents. Capitol Hill is the center of Seattle night life and offers everything I could possibly need within walking distance. The apartment itsself isn't huge but with the loft format feels much bigger due to vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows.
+ The location is right at the center of everything. Not only can I walk to coffee shops and restaurants but cute clothing boutiques and night life are just around the corner.
+ The unique set up of this apartment is a definite perk. Not only are the ceilings super high making the living room area feel ginormous but the floor to ceiling two story windows allow an immense amount of natural light to flow into the apartment. As someone who is obsessed with natural light it really can't be beat!
+ Amazing hardwood floors and granite countertops throughout the apartment make the loft so aesthetically pleasing and modern feeling.
-Parking is extremely difficult on Capitol Hill (not to mention expensive). Parking in this location costs at minimum $150 more per car per month.
– The kitchen is a small space shoved into the corner entry way. It feels like a shoebox and event though I don't have many kitchen supplies I already envision it feeling too cramped.
– Capitol Hill is a fun neighborhood but honestly sort of creeps me out at night! I always hear about robberies and stabbings…I know I would feel safe in the apartment but is it realistic to assume I'll never have to walk alone at night?
Which apartment do you think I chose? Which would you choose and why? What do you look for when searching for a new house or apartment? I'll reveal my choice next week!
***None of these photos are actual photos taken by me of the properties. I would have felt like a creep during the tours. The featured photos are from Craigslist and not of the actual apartments I am considering (:

Info concerning UT Knoxville weekend classes, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and UT Knoxville class registration information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for UT Knoxville.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond degree requirements such as UT Knoxville class registration, you may consider Wofford College quizzes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Today should be the last day of evidence in the Apple v. Samsung case. Closing arguments will likely be on Tuesday next week and then the jury will get the case. I posted earlier on the trade dress claims Apple has against Samsung that are in Apple's complaint. In this post I'll focus on Apple's three asserted design patents related to the iPhone.
Design patents protect the appearance of an article rather than the functional features. Here is a table with the design patents and their titles:
When looking at a design patent, the solid lines show what is claimed and protected. Broken lines provide context but don't limit the patent. So, while the D677 patent shows the iPhone 4, only the front screen area is in solid lines, so the side buttons and other features don't restrict the scope of the patent. Similarly, the D790 patent claims the GUI. Only the icons and rectangular touch screen limit the scope of the patent. Below is a table comparing the Samsung Galaxy to these three patents:
Samsung is attacking the validity of these design patents by trying to show that phones with the claimed design elements were publicly known prior to the filing of the applications that issued as these patents. Samsung can also avoid liability if they convince the jury that the design features are functional rather than aesthetic.
One thing Samsung won't be able to rely on is an argument that they independently developed their own design. In copyright cases a defendant can avoid a claim of infringement if they came up with the material without any reference to the copyrighted material. That is because copyright law protects against, as the name suggests, copying. Patent law, however, doesn't allow for a defense of independent development.
From what I've read so far, Samsung isn't spending much time arguing that their designs are not similar to Apple's, but are attacking the validity of the design patents. The jury will get to decide that issue.

Winter cold has crept into the Ranch even though we still have lots of sunny days. Our snow-covered fields are beautiful and it definitely looks like December around here. The animals which have not gone into hibernation have been pretty active in the center of camp. There are always rabbit tracks in the snow, and we often see deer in the middle of Big Spring and High Trails. The elk have been hanging out at Potts Spring and there are still a few porcupines waddling around in the dusk.
The office is a fun place to be these days as the elves are all busy getting ready for Christmas, preparing gifts, cards and other holiday mailings. We are keeping UPS and the local post office busy!
Plans are well underway for Mike's and Elizabeth's trip through the Midwest in January. They look forward to meeting camp families, alums, and those who would like to explore the opportunities at camp. We will be sending a mailing in early January with dates and times for the Midwest trip. This information will also be posted on our website. These fun gatherings are a great way to reconnect with camp friends and also provide an opportunity for families interested in camp to learn more about our programs.
We have big plans for the winter! This is always a time when we can focus on projects designed to improve our programs and facilities. We've already planned and submitted our proposed high mountain and horse trips to the Forest Service for the summer of 2017 and can't wait to share these amazing adventures with our campers next summer. We are also busy dreaming up exciting trips for our new property at the base of Mt. Antero! We will be working on all aspects of our program from crafts to horseback riding to rock climbing to improve and refresh all of our activities.
Our maintenance crew is busy working on projects to improve our facility. In addition to completing a new roof on the High Trails Lodge, they are now working on additional interior renovations at the Lodge. They have also been busy with a major new plumbing project at the STUW Ridge Washhouse and Massive Cabin.
We are also expanding and improving our staff training, using research that is current in youth development. And, of course, hiring the best counselors and program leaders is one of our major winter projects. Some great staff members have already promised to return!
Enrollment for next summer has been flowing in and we are very excited about the communities that are shaping up at Big Spring, High Trails and Sanborn Junior for 2017. Everyone at camp wishes all of our friends the happiest of holiday seasons!

Cleaner Food: Getting into the science of gardening
Back in June I closed Progressive Gardens, a retail garden center I owned and operated for over 14 years. Our work was that of a lawn and garden consultant, and we spent as much time as necessary to help people understand the concepts behind progressive gardening practices. The original insight of our shop was borne of the need to have cleaner food closer to people. For more than a decade, I have researched and experienced almost every facet of the modern agricultural system. I am qualified to discuss the farming and gardening habits of the majority of our population without judgement, but let me be blunt: We are killing ourselves. I mean this both literally and figuratively. There is no doubt the toxicity of our agriculture is contributing to the modern spike and confusion on the increase in auto-immune and degenerative diseases. Feeding living systems with man-made, artificial fertilizers and biocides makes our job as gardeners and farmers harder and more expensive in the long run.
Many are aware, but most are oblivious to the toxicity of the artificial lawn and garden products used in average landscape. We don't know what we are doing to ourselves. Look up the research done on lawn chemicals and cancer in dogs. There is more research conducted on canines than humans, but it affects us just the same.
In farming, the situation is even worse. According to the USDA only 0.07 percent of farms are organic, meaning the overwhelming majority of them use toxic chemicals as a primary means of growing our food. On top of this, farmers are growing older, and farms are growing larger and more toxic by the day.
The overwhelming majority of the pests, weeds and disease that farmers and homeowners toil over season after season are created by this artificial approach to agriculture. That's right: We are creating our own problems, chasing the symptoms, and trying to correct them using toxic rescue chemistry, effectively making our problems worse over time. It is a race to the bottom line.
The solution to the issues we face on the farm or in the landscape are in our perspective and in growing, living soil—not just plants. Healthy soil is the best pesticide, fungicide or herbicide on the market, but it lacks the convenience and marketability that drives consumer action in the modern world.
The only way to grow living soil is to introduce micro-organisms, or microbes, that define healthy soil. Microbes manufacture soil, like construction workers, and they have been doing it successfully for a really long time. Our challenge is to bring them to the job site as often and as populated as possible and then get out of their way. It is simply not possible to fertilize soil into health, or kill all of the symptoms being experienced.
The easiest and most effective way to do this is to start a compost pile and brew compost tea. A compost pile is free, recycles waste that would end up in the landfill, and it is very easy to do. The microbes grown in compost tea do all of the work, and the results only get better with time. But microbes are the furthest thing from mind for the average homeowner or farmer. When it comes to microbes, we are more likely to imagine hand sanitizer and antibiotics than visualzing vital benefits they do for the soil. In short, modern conventional agriculture is doing everything it can to kill them. The importance of microbes cannot be overstated, changing this mind style will be a central tenet of the future success of humanity.
The farm and average landscape have become a toxic waste zone, ripe with carcinogens, biocides and things no logical person would use with direct knowledge of the ingredients. In turn, this ends up in our food. I'll use the common herbicide Roundup as an example, since many have a jug in their garage. The active ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate. Monsanto, who manufactures Roundup, spends many millions each year in advertising and "peer-reviewed" studies to ensure customers it is safe, but there is more to the story. Glyphosate works by inhibiting what is called the "shikimate enzyme pathway." The toxic technology is allowed because humans and animals do not have a shikimate pathway in their cells, which is only found in plants and microbes. The fact that glyphosate does not harm humans directly means that Monsanto can tell us Roundup is safe—even convince the FDA (that they stockpile with lobbyists) there is no reason for concern. But the reality is it is destroying microbes that define healthy soil. New evidence suggests it is doing the same in our guts.
Roundup can be found everywhere, including the water supply and in basically every non-organic food on the market that contains soy or corn. The result of this is that over 99 percent of people tested have glyphosate in their urine. Insane (visit www.DetoxProject.org to test yourself).
The major reason for the proliferation of glyphosate in our food supply is genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Commodity crops are genetically engineered with foreign genes that create resistance to the toxicity of chemicals like glyphosate. Great for business, bad for people.
Even if it could be argued that GMO crops are beneficial to humanity, they have resulted in tremendous amounts of these controversial compounds being released into the environment. Food & Water Watch found the total volume of glyphosate applied to the three biggest GMO crops—corn, cotton and soybeans—increased tenfold from 15 million pounds in 1996 to 159 million pounds in 2012.
The same can be said to our approach to combatting the Zika virus. There is no doubt we need to do everything possible to understand how to fight this public-health issue, but I'm not convinced that objectively spraying a controversial toxic insecticide designed to kill living organisms from planes over millions of acres and human populations is the answer. We must ask ourselves if the ends justify the means.
The chemical being sprayed to battle Zika virus is called "Naled," an organophosphate insecticide with the chemical name dimethyl 1,2-dibromo-2,2-dichloroethylphosphate that is banned completely in the European Union. In September it was widely reported over 2.5 million bees were killed due to Naled aerial applications in South Carolina. Not only are 70 out of the top 100 human food crops, or about 90 percent of the world's nutrition, pollinated by bees, but what could it be doing to us? Just like in the soil, the new frontier of human health is the symbiotic relationship between microbes and humans. In fact, there are more microbes in and on a healthy human than there are human cells. It seems like every week there is a new discovery of the importance of our microscopic friends in regulating and ensuring our health.
For example, conventional wisdom says that the appendix is a worthless organ in the human body, but a recent study suggests that it serves as a safe house for beneficial gut microbes. It appears that the body is able to signal when the gut is not operating effectively and actually send reinforcements to re-inoculate the gut with our microscopic friends. In other words, the appendix is the compost pile of the human body.
We are collectively taking the pill to eat more fast food, when all we need to do is change our diets and take probiotics. Make the connection that the "experts" are telling us otherwise. This is a difficult conversation to have without offending people—or coming across as a know-it-all. Let me assure that the first thing that I know is that I don't. In no way am I saying doctors are out to harm people, only they are operating from an old and incomplete paradigm. Nor am I suggesting agronomists don't have our best interests in mind. But, for example, our own local newspaper recently published an article by one of our extension agents that described the benefits of using Roundup to kill weeds in the landscape.
At some point we have to call it like it is and challenge conventional wisdom. We must become our own experts. It is entirely possible to have massive success growing farms and gardens without a toxic man-made approach. There is hope, but it will not come from trying to kill symptoms. It can only come by reinforcing the mechanisms of Mother Nature. All it takes to flip the script on the destruction we are creating on Earth is some humility, intention and focus on the common-sense workings of living systems. Not only does it work better and cost less than conventional approaches, but it cleans and heals the environment.
Regenerative agriculture has the capacity to correct almost every major issue we face in modern society from climate change to empowering local economies. But it starts with us.

Looking for parents of my GGGF Gaetano Miller born Malta 1825 married to Concetta Locicero
on 2011-12-02 10:49:35
JARDIN has been a Family Tree Circles member since Dec 2011.
To Jardin
Have you found the parents of your gggfather married to Concetta Locicero because Gaetano Miller and Concetta LoCicero from Malta are my gggparents too and as far as I know they only had two daughters, one of whom died at the age of 19. The other daughter Enrichetta was my great grandmother. However Gaetano adopted two children, a girl who died a spinster in the family home and a son who I have no record of. I would be very interested in any information you might have.
YES Gaetano's parents were GIUSEPPE ( JOSEPH) MILLER married to GENEROSA GATT no dates unfortunately.
According to my books my GGF ( his son )was Giuseppe Miller married to Alessandrina Tagliaferro married 19 August 1876 possibly the adopted son you mention born Valletta 1847 deceased 1918.
Thanks for the reply. If you are interested I have a holy picture signed by Giuseppe Miller who would be your great grandfather. If you would like it I can email it to you. My email address is [email protected] Have you made any contacts from other members of the family?
Would it be possible to let me know the names of any children that Giuseppe had? I could also let you know how your great grandfather got to be adopted and his sister's name, I think, was Giuseppina and as she got older she was known as Zia (aunt) Peppin.
Giuseppe Miller is buried at the Addolorata Cemetery in Malta together with Gaetano but I cannot find any record of Concetta Lo Cicero, his wife. Do you know anything about her? You probably have already found the record of burial of Gaetano and Giuseppe on Google.
This is great news !
Yes please email to : [email protected]
Giuseppe Miller and Alessandrina Tagliaferro had at least 2 daughters and 1 son : Emma ( my grandmother ), Rosa and Henry and possibly another daughter Luisa.
I plan to go to Malta in the near future and visit my Grandmother's grave ( could be the Addolorata Cemetery.)
Concetta Locicero married Gaetano 2 December 1854 in Valletta ( San Paolo ) was daughter of Antonio and Rosa Corlett.
However Gaetano married again 2 February 1858 Irene Mamo D/o Michele & Carolina Bruno. Does all this coincide with your findings ?

|Ad5.SSTR/TK.RGD (Code C88261)
|Terms & Properties
Preferred Name: Ad5.SSTR/TK.RGD
Definition: An RGD-4C-modified, infectivity-enhanced, bicistronic type 5 adenovirus expressing herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene, a therapeutic suicide gene, and the somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) gene with potential antineoplastic activity. Modification with the double cyclic peptide RGD-4C allows the virus to bind to cellular integrins, frequently expressed on the surfaces of ovarian cancer cells, instead of the coxsackie and adenovirus (CAR) receptor, which is often nonfunctional in ovarian cancer cells. Upon intratumoral administration, Ad5.SSTR/TK.RGD transfects tumor cells and expresses the HSV-tk gene. After subsequent administration of a synthetic acyclic guanosine analogue prodrug like ganciclovir (GCV), expressed HSV-tk phosphorylates and activates the prodrug, which may result in inhibition of DNA synthesis and apoptosis in HSV-tk-expressing cancer cells. Additionally, as a bystander effect, adjacent non-transfected cells may be killed by the activated antiviral drug. SSTR2 expression allows imaging of gene transfer into tumor cells using a radiolabeled somatostatin analogue.

All about making whisky
Recently added item(s) ×
You have no items in your shopping cart.
The 2013 version of Kilchoman Machir Bay is a single malt full of character, characterised by notes of ash and smoke, candied citrus fruits, earth, malted barley and pepper.
Included :
- 1 KILCHOMAN Machir Bay
- 1 Whisky map
- 9 Whisky stones
The first distillery built on the Isle of Islay for over a century, Kilchoman celebrated its third birthday in September 2009, with its new spirit finally reaching the age required for it to be legally called a single malt. Built using the model of a "farmhouse-distillery", Kilchoman makes a point of distilling its new spirit from barley grown on its own land. Some 100 tonnes are harvested and malted at the distillery, providing 30% of their needs. The rest comes from the maltings at Port Ellen. Its first barrel of new make spirit was filled in 2005.
Located to the south-west of the Scottish coast and to the south of the isle of Jura, Islay constitutes a unique region in the world of whisky. It is among the islands that are the most exposed to the wind and storms. Regularly swept by sea spray, a quarter of the island is covered with peat bogs, but there is also fertile land suitable for barley. In order to adapt to the climate and geological conditions, the distilleries have always dried their malt using the famous, widely available peat. As a result, the island's malts are among Scotland's smokiest, earthiest and most iodized. Islay is also home to the highest number of distilleries per square metre in Scotland. No less than eight distilleries are currently active (Ardbeg, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Kilchoman, Lagavulin and Laphroaig), and while numerous others have closed, such as Port Ellen, there is one under construction in Gartbreck. Thanks to a tradition that has been passed from one generation to the next, Islay offers the ultimate expression of peaty whisky.

Huck Finn Essay, Research Paper
Natural Goodness
Throughout the great American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, there is a great controversy about natural goodness and the definition society provides for us. Many feel that Huck helping Jim escape is the right thing to do. Yet, at this time, what he did was very wrong and unaccepted. Although society tells him he is wrong, Huck s natural goodness wins the battle against conscience every time.
Jocelyn Chadwick-Joshua stated that Huckleberry Finn has a great transformation into self-esteem (Chadwick-Joshua 62). Twain s work was significant in that it brought the ideas of African Americans to a wide audience they could not hope to reach (62). As Huck could not, neither can we jump arbitrarily from his discovery of Jim as a regular, visible human being in the novel s first section to his truly profound assertion at the conclusion of the midsection when he decides to continue to protect Jim. All right, then, I ll go to hell (Twain 272). How does Huck come to consciously yield up his soul for his changed belief? To grow with Huck, we must understand his affection and his nineteenth-century sense of loyalty and moral rightness and, more importantly, his unwavering, consistent, indomitable respect for Jim as a human being, a man, a mentor whose voice must ultimately supersede the voices of the widow, Miss Watson, Judge Thatcher, and the whole South. For a real transformation to take place, Huck s allegiance to Jim must develop to the degree that he feels compelled to act (66). Throughout this novel, we can see that Huck treats Jim fairly. Huck treats him as another man, no one special but no one inferior. Huck was ahead of his time; he was a fair person when no one else was. His heart took control and went against all of his teachings. Rightly or wrongly, we initially judge the narrative suspect. Opponents usually assume the characters to be stereotypes or caricatures (4). The world sees this as an enslaved black man traveling with a free white man. Jim treats Huck with respect, but Huck treats Jim as an equal.
The people in Huckleberry Finn are not bad because they believe in slavery that is how they were raised. Throughout the novel we see how they treated slaves and we also see that they are raised this way. Many of them only act this way because no other way would be accepted. But there are the few strong ones, like Huck, who do what they believe in. Arthur Pettit, who wrote Mark Twain and the South, stated a quote that made a lot of sense. Two types of white Southerners largely populate the novel: good ones who have been partially warped by their environment and bad ones who have been totally twisted by it Pap represents the lowest mudsill type of Southerner he is permanently etched on the reader s conscienceness Aunt Polly, the Widow Douglas, Uncle Silas and Aunt Sally Phelps, even Sister Hotchkiss all have a redeeming side. They read the Bible regularly, feed the boys homemade jam, set supper tables in summer breezeways, and preach Sunday sermons down on corner lots of their one-horse plantations By and large they know right from wrong; but this is precisely what locks them into a moral dilemma over slavery. Repeatedly Mark Twain drives home the irony that to be a Southerner in good standing, one must preach good and practice evil (83). This novel is filled with Southerners who contradict themselves over the concept of slavery. Huck is really the only innocent one that we meet in this novel. He takes the Bible literally and follows it with his heart and soul. Huck was right all along because he was not a hypocrite like the others. They all preached one thing and then acted out a different. Huck follows his heart over his conscience. Pap was the one who was most prejudiced and the most stubborn. He was not able to even open his eyes a little to see what was going on in the world around him. Oh, yes, this is a wonderful govment, wonderful. Why looky here. There was a free nigger there from Ohio they said he was a p fessor in a college, and could talk all kinds of languages, and knowed everything. And that ain t the wust. They said he could vote when he was home. Well, that let me out. Thinks I, what is the country a-coming to? It was lection day and I was just about to go and vote myself if I warn t too drunk to get there; but when they told me there was a State in this country where they d let that nigger vote, I drawed out. I says I ll never vote agin . the country may rot for all me-I ll never vote agin as long as I live (Twain 36).
Norris W. Yates writes, Huck s struggle with his decision to go to hell rather than to assist in returning Jim to servitude. The manner in which Huck s inner conflict dramatizes the specifically religious elements in that society has been little more than mentioned (quoted in Bloom 44). Many scholars have said that Huck is in a moral crisis because he may be a sinner struggling for conversion. Conscience says to me, What had poor Miss Watson dome to you that you could see her nigger go off right under your eyes and never say one single word? (Twain 80). At times Huck did doubt his actions. He thought about how kindly Miss Watson had always treated him and about how hurtful his actions could be. Huck wondered what had caused him to try and help Jim and what caused him to keep this a secret. He thought many times about letting people know about Jim but every time, his conscience ended up winning the battle inside of him.
Huck s humble apology is striking evidence of growth in moral insight. It leads naturally to the next chapter in which Mark Twain causes Huck to face up for the first time to the fact that he is helping a slave to escape (Devoto 77). When Huck apologized to Jim about the joke, it shows that he is beginning to have respect for Jim as a person, despite the color of his skin. This is a major part of the novel because it shows Huck s point of view changing. Before he began his journey down the river, Huck was just like the rest of his town. A black person is a slave and nothing more, nothing less, just a slave. Once Huck began his journey with Jim, he began to change his train of thought. Huck began to see Jim as an equal individual. Therefore, this is an important part of the novel.
In conclusion, Twain wanted to get the point across that everyone should trust their heart instead of their upbringings. Huck was truly the only innocent one in the novel because he followed his conscience even though he was told by society that he was wrong. Huck s natural goodness has won the battle against society.

This document gives you a brief overview of the features of Balabit Shell Control Box that you can test using the live demo.
The SCB Live Demo is configured with limited functionality and grants visitors read-only access. Although you cannot create new connections, you can search for and download already recorded sessions.
SCB uses an application-level proxy technology to relay traffic between client and server systems while making detailed policy-based decisions as to what should or should not be allowed in certain connections and recording the raw network traffic to audit trail files.
Basic Settings > Network. To make the implementation of such proxy technology as easy as possible, SCB supports three basic operation modes (bridge, router and bastion). The demo system is deployed in bastion mode as you can see it at. This is the easiest mode to deploy in most cases while ensuring the least transparency since packets must address SCB specifically.
For details, see Section 2.7, Modes of operation in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
SSH control > Connections or RDP control > Connections. Once packets make their way to SCB, the system checks its connection policies first to see if it should step in to the middle of the connection and start proxying. The demo system has such policies configured for the SSH and RDP protocols. As you can see on theand pages, the first level of decision making happens based on TCP and IP header information such as source, destination addresses and destination port. Advanced settings like gateway authentication, usermapping are configured in separate policies and are associated with connections in the corresponding connection policy body. These settings are listed if you open a connection policy.
For details about connection policies, see Chapter 7, General connection settings in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
For details about gateway authentication, see Procedure 2.13, The gateway authentication process in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
For details about usermapping, see Chapter 18, Advanced authentication and authorization techniques in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
Search > Search. Meta information as well as recorded sessions are made accessible at the search interface (). The time line at the top shows the number of entries for each day, week, month, and so on, depending on the selected scale. The result table shows the actual entries. All connections (accepted and rejected) are listed and can be narrowed down by clicking around on values to filter for.
For details on the SCB search interface, see Section 16.1, Searching audit trails — the SCB connection database in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
The little floppy icon in the first column indicates that an audit trail file is available for that specific connection. These files use a container format that supports encryption, digital timestamping and signing. The audit files contain the original raw network traffic of the activity. To play them back, the BalaBit Audit Player application is needed which can reconstruct the original end-user work-flow.
It is possible to open multiple audit trail files exported from the web interface and run searches against them using the "Find" button from the player's UI. When searching in trails of graphical protocols, optical character recognition is used to textualize the content that appeared on the user's screen.
When matches are found, a white line indicates on the time line where the expression occurs in the session, while moving the mouse cursor over the white line even shows in what context matches are encountered.
Download the Audit Player (requires MyBalaBit login)
For details about the Audit Player see Chapter 17, Replaying audit trails with Audit Player in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.
For detail on searching with the Audit Player, see Section 17.3.1, Finding specific audit trails in The Balabit Shell Control Box 5 F1 Administrator Guide.

text: Permanent Road Course Added At California Speedway California Speedway has broken ground on a permanent road course as the speedway looks to increase the number of events hosted at the Southern California motorsports facility, it was announced today by speedway President Bill Miller. Development of the course, which is scheduled for completion in early fall, has three configurations: an Infield Road Course, which can be 1.45 miles (13 turns) or 1.5 miles (17 turns); an Auto Competition Course, which utilizes part of the oval at 2.88 miles (21 turns) and a Motorcycle Competition Course, which also uses part of the oval at 2.36 miles (21 turns). The course is being designed by Associated Engineers, who played an integral role in the design of California Speedway, which opened in 1997. Yeager Construction, the company that built the speedway, is overseeing the construction of the course. "This is an exciting time for California Speedway as we take the next step in our continuation as a premier motorsports facility. The development of this road course increases the opportunities for us to host additional events that motorsports fans in Southern California will want to experience," said Miller. "We've had preliminary discussions with AMA and Grand AM," continued Miller. "Now that we've broken ground and are proceeding with the course, we look forward to intensifying those discussions and seeing what makes sense from an entertainment and business standpoint." Currently, the speedway conducts two major event weekends, the spring NASCAR Winston Cup and Busch Series and fall CART FedEx Championship Series/NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series weekends. "When the speedway was originally built, an infield test circuit was included; however, the purpose of the course at that time was to host driving schools and testing, not competition," said Miller. "The current layout is used approximately 85 days during the year, so this new road course will improve an already successful rental program." The design of the new road course includes a number of variations to suit different sanctioning bodies and racing school needs in utilizing the facility. In addition, transitions are being built from the oval in two places – halfway between turns one and two and nearly halfway down the backstretch. The exit from the road course to the oval is being constructed in turn four. The width of the infield-racing surface is 45-feet wide and will be asphalt, similar to the compound used on the speedway's two-mile D-shaped oval. Additional paving for run-off areas, both in the infield and near the transitions on and off the oval, will be placed during construction. Alterations to the inside retaining wall and catch fence for the oval transitions will also be constructed. Construction of the new road course will not affect motorhome parking for the upcoming CART race. "We appreciate the continued support of San Bernardino County, Associated Engineers and Yeager Construction for making this project a reality in a short period of time," said Miller. "We look forward to having road racing back in Southern California." For ticket and event information, call 1-800-944-RACE.
