Into the valley of death rode Max and Paddy
Trip Start
Trip End
Fancied a little exercise so started out on a walk along a river looking for wildlife. It was a very short walk as the wildlife found us, midges! So retreated to a local county park lake, where at least we saw a heron. Gathered info on where we could and couldn't go in the R.V. Lots of interesting trails and drives that took you up into the mountains to look at film locations over the years. Many movies have been filmed in this area with the Sierra Nevadas giving a backdrop to the smaller but colourful Alabama hills. Famous names include Tom Mix (who!) Fatty Arbuckle (again, who?) Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne (yes you have heard of him). He used to stay at the local motel when filming. Famous films include the Yellow Sky (well its famous here!) High Sierra and Hazel's favourite, Bad Day at Black Rock (remember Spencer Tracy with one arm). Also Gunga Din, and the Charge of the Light Brigade. A drive along movie road showed location spots but we couldn't do them but could do a loop drive called picture rock circle, going off into the slightly lower Alabama hills. These granite rocks are eroded into weird and wonderful shapes, some of which resemble things like an eagle head or an elephant. Couldn't identify many that were marked on the guide but the scenery was stunning. On a small walk saw a big speckled lizards and some California quail.
Whilst sat outside "blogging" later that evening Hazel went inside and screamed as she felt something tickling her neck and brushed off a Preying Mantis which was over two inches long. She thought it was cute once over the shock!, moving its head from side to side wondering what the fuss was all about. Brian transferred it outside where it sat on the top of the computer screen.
Mon. 25th Sept.
Visited the movie museum in town not yet officially open. Treated to the first showing of the introduction video about the connection that Lone Pine had with the movie industry. One of the audience of six was the 80 year old daughter of the local rancher who provided support for the filming eg horses, materials for sets etc. A privilege and a pleasure to have attended the world premier of a movie about the movies. Never now be able to watch another western without trying to spot if it was made here.
We have enjoyed this trip to California more than expected.
Tue 26th Sept
Treated to a close view of a Road Runner. So cute as they raise their crests and tails to run on spindly legs - Beep beep.
So now off to Death Valley. Had to cross a mountain range to get in. Climbed continuously to 4500ft and warned to switch off air con so not to overheat engine. Had windows open instead, and as we descended into the valley, the air got hotter and hotter. It felt as hot as a 2 kw fan heater, so soon put the AC back on again. When we got out at Stovepipe Wells, aptly named, the heat was incredibly brutal, and we took shelter as it was even in 106 F in the shade. The whole RV was so hot that the cold water tank was running hot. Hazel wondered if she'd made a good choice wanting to come here, as she heads for shade at Blackpool on a balmy summers day. We were later told that it was unseasonably hot for this time of year in Death Valley. Typical !!
We decided to head for Furnace Creek 25 miles further as there it had electric hook up which we desperately needed for the roof AC. On the way we managed a very short walk on some famous sand dunes. Saw tracks of critters, inc a Kangaroo Rat and a Sidewinder Rattlesnake. We thought we would be risking life and limb to stay in this valley, but this camp was on the site of a vacation resort with swimming pool, tennis courts, two restaurants and a store. Enjoyed a posh meal at the better restaurant. It was still 88 F when we retired to air con sleep. God, we know how to camp rough.
Wed 27th Sept
Walked to Visitor Centre about a quarter mile, but red hot even at 10.00 am. Outside we met a tame Roadrunner called George. After checking out where we could and couldn't go in the RV (plus the places Hazel could and couldn't go, due to heat or distance) we didn't have many options so decided to visit them in one day, and move on. First stop, Badlands salt flats, the lowest point in the western hemisphere at 282 ft below sea level.
HAZEL - You can walk out on a boardwalk to view them. Well you can, but I didn't get far, too bloody hot, so I sent my trusty scout ahead to take photos.
Then on to Zabriskie Point, a high overlook, a favourite spot to watch the sunrise paint the hills multicolours, and a good view down to the valley.
HAZEL - Of course in order to look down, you have to be up, and another walk I didn't do. Remind me again why I was so keen to visit Death Valley.
Then went on a wasted 50mile detour to leave Death Valley via a recommended trip to visit a ghost town. Not much there and too new to be interesting. Remember the name to avoid, Rhyolite !
Camped at Pahrump, a fore runner to Vegas as it has a casino on site, cheap food, all you can eat buffet for $6 dollars, but not very good, however it didn't stop some people from loading several plates with enough food to feed a good proportion of the third world. One couple had 6 full plates intended to take back as doggy bags. The cheek of some people! We took our free bottle of wine and headed for the casino. Mainly all slot machines which were a bit confusing, even with the help of an assistant and a passing regular we were still baffled. However only lost $3 dollars in 2 hours. We got on best with the "poker " type games on machines.
Thurs. 28th Sept.
Chore day, plus Hazel plucked up courage and went to a "foreign" hairdresser, now looking better than something the cat dragged in! Swim and BBQ in this still hot weather. (high 80's)
Friday 29th Sept.
Big posh rigs here, spotted several with large t.v's in the side for watching outdoors!
At night headed off for the casino to lose some more money. Well!, after getting bored with the slot machines Brian plucked up courage and decided to play the tables, Blackjack (pontoon to you Brits) minimum $3 dollar bet. Some fancy hand signals involved for indicating what you want. Free drinks when you are sat at the table, so after several red wines Hazel leapt in. Imagine two Yorkshire folks betting 3 pounds a hand. Good job Hazel played as Brian was on a losing streak.
HAZEL - I'm a natural !
We only lost $10 dollars over an hours play. Good fun.

Legislative history | |
The High Performance Computing Act of 1991 (HPCA) is an Act of Congress promulgated in the 102nd United States Congress as (Pub.L. 102–194) on December 9, 1991. Often referred to as the Gore Bill,[1] it was created and introduced by then Senator Al Gore, and led to the development of the National Information Infrastructure and the funding of the National Research and Education Network (NREN).[1][2][3]
The act built on prior U.S. efforts of developing a national networking infrastructure, starting with the ARPANET in the 1960s, and the funding of the National Science Foundation Network (NSFnet) in the 1980s. The renewed effort became known in popular language as building the Information superhighway.[2][4] It also included the High-Performance Computing and Communications Initiative and spurred many significant technological developments, such as the Mosaic web browser,[5] and the creation of a high-speed fiber optic computer network.
Development and passage[edit]
Senator Al Gore developed (the word "crafted" is used in another Wikipedia article) the Act[1] after hearing the 1988 report Toward a National Research Network[6] submitted to Congress by a group chaired by UCLA professor of computer science Leonard Kleinrock, one of the creators of the ARPANET, which is regarded as the eve network of the Internet.[7]
The bill was enacted on December 9, 1991, and led to the National Information Infrastructure (NII)[8] which Gore referred to as the "Information superhighway". President George H. W. Bush predicted that the Act would help "unlock the secrets of DNA," open up foreign markets to free trade, and a promise of cooperation between government, academia, and industry.[9]
Among the many technological achievements that resulted from the funding of the Gore Bill, was the development of Mosaic in 1993,[5][10] the World Wide Web browser software which is credited by most scholars as beginning the Internet boom of the 1990s:
- Gore's legislation also helped fund the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, where a team of programmers, including Netscape founder Marc Andreessen, created the Mosaic Web browser, the commercial Internet's technological springboard. 'If it had been left to private industry, it wouldn't have happened,' Andreessen says of Gore's bill, 'at least, not until years later.' [11]
Gore reiterated the role of government financing in American success in a 1996 speech when he (U.S. Vice President Al Gore) said the following: [12]
"That's how it has worked in America. Government has supplied the initial flicker -- and individuals and companies have provided the creativity and innovation that kindled that spark into a blaze of progress and productivity that's the envy of the world."
CNN interview[edit]
Following a 1999 CNN interview, then-Vice President Gore became the subject of some controversy and ridicule when his expression I took the initiative in creating the Internet[13] was widely quoted out of context, indeed often misquoted, by comedians and the popular media who took his expression to be a claim that he personally had invented the Internet.[14][15] George W. Bush, Gore's opponent in the 2000 presidential election, mocked the vice president's claim during his acceptance speech before the Republican convention that year.[16]
The meaning of Gore's statement, referring to his legislative support of the early Internet, was widely reaffirmed by notable Internet pioneers, such as Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, who stated, "No one in public life has been more intellectually engaged in helping to create the climate for a thriving Internet than the Vice President".[17]

Stress has a way of creeping back into your life and making you miserable. These simple stress management strategies can help you keep stress at bay.
You're getting a handle on stress management. Perhaps you've mastered new time management techniques. Or you've learned to control your anger under pressure. Congratulations. To keep stress under control for good, though, you need to make a commitment to using the stress management techniques you've learned.
Stress management isn't a first-aid kit you pull out only in emergencies. Rather, it's a set of tools you can use every day to deal with the big and little issues that arise. It's a good idea to keep your tools sharp and even to add a few to your collection from time to time.
Don't get discouraged if you occasionally fail to handle a stressful situation as well as you might like. Change takes time, and setbacks are part of the learning curve. Learn from the experience, and plan to clear that hurdle the next time. If you lapse back to your old ways, don't give up. Focus on what you can do to regain control of the situation.
Stress is more likely to rear its ugly head if you're not taking care of yourself. So remember to put yourself first. These strategies can help you stay on course.
Just 10 to 20 minutes of quiet reflection may bring relief from chronic stress, as well as increase your tolerance to it. Listen to music, relax, and try to think of pleasant things or nothing at all. If you feel your muscles tense during your day, take a minibreak. Breathe deeply, inhale, pause for a second and then slowly exhale.
Exercise can help keep depression and anxiety at bay. Exercising about 30 minutes a day can benefit your body and mind.
A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can give you more energy to keep stress under control. Caffeine may give you a jolt of energy, but it will wear off quickly.
Aim to get plenty of sleep each night, which can help you deal with stress. Most people need about seven to nine hours of sleep each night.
Rather than looking for ways to squeeze more activities into the day, find ways to pare them down. Remember, it's OK to say no to new requests or commitments. When you say no to a new commitment, you're honoring your existing obligations and ensuring that you'll be able to devote high-quality time to them.
Anticipate challenges. Whether it's preparing for a project at work, planning a family gathering or handling a sick child, being prepared can help you face stressful situations with confidence. If necessary, set aside extra time to calm your frayed nerves. If you have many tasks that need to get completed, make a to-do list and determine which tasks are most important.
If you find yourself thinking, "This can't be done," snap back to attention. Think instead, "This will be tough. But we can make it work." Putting a positive spin on negative thoughts can help you work through stressful situations.
Humor is a great way to relieve stress. Laughter releases endorphins — natural substances that help you feel better and maintain a positive attitude. Studies suggest laughter may have many benefits that may include boosting the immune system, increasing circulation and easing pain.
If new stressors are challenging your ability to cope or if once-helpful techniques have lost their effectiveness, you may need to look for reinforcements. Many books, websites and support groups are dedicated to helping people get through tough times. You also may find it helpful to talk to a counselor or mental health professional. Sometimes an outside perspective can make all the difference.
Remember, stress is a part of life — it's never going to disappear. But you have the tools to keep stress from taking over your life. Put them to good use.

Could anyone really keep up with the attempted exorcism on last night's "Real Housewives of New Jersey"? Indeed, amid all of the "Hey, youse, tell me the truthies!" and "Youse a hypocrite!," the broader lesson seemed to be: Never get too close to someone whose intellectual and emotional intelligence is in zygote form, while yours may be on the more advanced fetus level. (Depending if you're on Team Tre or Team Jacqueline and Caroline, you designate who's the zygote and who's the fetus.)
DVR the Next Episode of "RHONJ"
Alas, super emotional Jacqueline invited the Bankruptcy Tabloid Queen over to get a double dose of whoop arse from her and Mother-Hen-and-Hater-of-All-Cookbooks Caroline, hoping that a smidge of clarity, honesty, and humanity might still be in her system. Fools! The result? It was like watching an infant throw up on herself and in her Louis Vuitton handbag.
Check out how all hell broke loose…
Not knowing what the truth is, Jacqueline confronts Teresa about the crazy tabloid allegations of her possibly going to jail. "There's nothing going on!" exclaims Tre. Not satisfied, Jacqueline mentions how Teresa gets paid by the tabloids to spread lies, but the latter quickly denies she gets compensated for selling stories (even though she told Jacqueline in the past that she indeed does)!
As the sun goes down, Tre's fangs pop out and so do her unrelenting brain farts, referring to Jacqueline's emotional instability as "Hekyll and Jyde."
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv/The-Real-Housewives-of-New-Jersey/100621/2244569058/Heckyll-and-Jyde-/embed 580 476]
Apparently, Jacqueline's "Jyde" was in top form tonight, baby! She angrily brings up the fact that Tre has been in contact with Danielle Staub in order to get back at Melissa, who allegedly told the Staubgoblin a couple years back that Tre didn't come to see her and Joe's little son Gino at the hospital when he was born. At hearing Melissa's name being brought up, Tre ignites into meatball fury, howling that Melissa's jealousy over Tre's success was beyond her control!
"Why are you screaming?" calmly asks Caroline, who saunters onto the deck, claiming she came by "to drop off some clothes" (a.k.a. "I came to pull out the cannolis out of Teresa's badonka donk and shove it in her pie hole.")
"I feel ambushed," says Tre.
And so the ambush commences: Caroline slams Tre for slandering her in the tabloids, as well as in her cookbook. "You're holding a grudge from the cookbook!" accuses Tre, but Caroline counters she learned from the Master of Grudges. "I have been a friend to you, and you have never been a friend to me!" the Red-headed Cluckmeister shouts. The two begins to bark at each other viciously, and for once, Jacqueline—who's trying to get a word in—screams for the two of them to shut up!
"For my health, I'm going to distance myself from you and your family," Jacqueline concludes to Tre. Instead of tearing off her face with her mouth, Teresa decides to give Jacqueline the kiss of death and drags her knuckles quickly over to her SUV.
"There are evil people out there, and sometimes they come in the shape of your friends," Teresa says to the camera.
Where's a mirror when you need one?

Capital Teas
To say Capital Teas' founders, Manelle and Peter Martino, know tea might be a bit of an understatement. Fifth-generation tea merchant Manelle's great-great-grandfather, Francis Van Reyk, was a Dutch tea planter who immigrated in the 1870s to present-day Sri Lanka, where he planted and managed the Diyagama Tea Estate, from which the Martinos now source their Great Grandfather's tea. Manelle's family has been in the tea trade ever since, a tradition she has carried to her own specialty tea business, which has boutique locations throughout the Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland area. Additionally, Peter has become a popular speaker at World Tea Expos, where he frequently educates and inspires the tea world.
In addition to tea from Sri Lanka, Capital Teas carries more than 200 loose teas and herbal infusions from 18 countries including India, China, Japan, Malawi, and Kenya. A sniffing wall dispenses wafts of black, oolong, and green teas, and knowledgeable employees drift around the store's tasting stations to explain each flavor's nuances.
Capital Teas also pairs customers with accompaniments such as teapots, infusers, treats, and artisanal honey. In-store patrons may sample free tea samples—which are brewed fresh daily—while online purchasers receive a free sample with every order, in addition to earning rewards points by using the Capital Teas mobile app.

Now in its sixth year, Columbia Gorge Peace Village has received its first grant from the Portland-based Jubitz Family Foundation. Jubitz funding priorities include strengthening families, fostering peace and respecting the natural environment.
Columbia Gorge Peace Village, open for children ages 6-13, will run Aug. 5 - 9 at the Mosier Community School, and has expanded to 150 campers.
Bill Weiler, part of the Peace Village Planning Team, states that "There are still a few openings left for anyone who would love a unique day-camp experience."
Columbia Gorge Peace Village is also seeking contributions from anyone who believes in the program's mission of teaching the practices of non-violence and peace-making from the world's traditions.
The 2013 camp's theme is "Healthy Habits, Healthy Habitats" and will focus on "service," helping others both at camp and at home. Uniquely, all parents who sign up their children for Peace Village have agreed to perform three hours of service either at camp or within their community.

Blueskyimages has now closed down.
I'd like to thank everyone who has used my services over the last seven years – I've worked on some cracking images and met some great people through this business – and I wish you all the very best.
The demand for film scanning has been in decline for a while now, as more of us shoot digitally, so I have decided its time for me to do something new.
I'm starting up a new venture – designing and building websites, particularly aimed at individuals and small businesses who don't have a site, or who need to replace an old-fashioned one.
The details are at www.timetogetonline.co.uk.
If you are thinking about a website to showcase your photography – you might be interested in my site which is at www.davidhallphotography.co.uk.

With the concurrence of the head of the employing agency, and under regulations promulgated by the Director, a retirement-eligible employee who has been employed on a full-time basis for not less than the 3-year period ending on the date on which the retirement-eligible employee makes an election under this subsection may elect to enter phased retirement status.
Subject to subparagraph (B), at the time of entering phased retirement status, a phased retiree shall be appointed to a position for which the working percentage is 50 percent.
The Director may, by regulation, provide for working percentages different from the percentage specified under subparagraph (A), which shall be not less than 20 percent and not more than 80 percent.
The working percentage for a phased retiree may not be changed during the phased retiree's phased retirement period.
(1) Except as otherwise provided under this subsection, the phased retirement annuity for a phased retiree is the product obtained by multiplying—
A phased retirement annuity shall be paid in addition to the basic pay for the position to which a phased retiree is appointed during the phased employment.
Any deposit, or election of an actuarial annuity reduction in lieu of a deposit, for military service or for creditable civilian service for which retirement deductions were not made or refunded, shall be made by a retirement-eligible employee at or before the time the retirement-eligible employee enters phased retirement status. No such deposit may be made, or actuarial adjustment in lieu thereof elected, at the time a phased retiree enters full retirement status.
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), if a phased retiree does not make such a deposit and dies in service as a phased retiree, a survivor of the phased retiree shall have the same right to make such deposit as would have been available had the employee not entered phased retirement status and died in service.
All basic pay not in excess of the full-time rate of pay for the position to which a phased retiree is appointed shall be deemed to be basic pay for purposes of sections 8422 and 8423.
Under such procedures as the Director may prescribe, a phased retiree may elect to enter full retirement status at any time. Upon making such an election, a phased retiree shall be entitled to a composite retirement annuity.
(1) Except as provided otherwise under this subsection, a composite retirement annuity is a single annuity computed under regulations prescribed by the Director, equal to the sum of—
the amount of the phased retirement annuity as of the date of full retirement, including any adjustments made under section 8462; and
(B) the product obtained by multiplying—
the amount of an annuity computed under section 8412 that would have been payable at the time of full retirement if the individual had not elected a phased retirement and as if the individual was employed on a full-time basis in the position occupied during the phased retirement period and before any adjustment to provide for a survivor annuity; by
After computing a composite retirement annuity under paragraph (1), the Director shall adjust the amount of the annuity for any applicable reductions for a survivor annuity.
Under such procedures and conditions as the Director may provide, and with the concurrence of the head of employing agency, a phased retiree may elect to terminate phased retirement status and return to a full-time work schedule.
Upon entering a full-time work schedule based on an election under paragraph (1), the phased retirement annuity of a phased retiree shall terminate.
After termination of the phased retirement annuity under this subsection, the individual's rights under this chapter shall be determined based on the law in effect at the time of any subsequent separation from service. For purposes of this chapter, at the time of the subsequent separation from service, the phased retirement period shall be treated as if it had been a period of part-time employment with the work schedule described in subsection (b)(2).
(h) For purposes of subchapter IV—
Employment of a phased retiree shall not be deemed to be part-time career employment, as defined in section 3401(2).
For purposes of section 8445(d), retirement shall be deemed to occur on the date on which a phased retiree enters into full retirement status.
Effective Date

Sunday, March 8, 1998 Published at 19:47 GMT UK Memory man left pi and dry
Exhaustion, hesitation and a typing error have prevented taxi driver Tom Morton from breaking the British record for remembering Pi to more than 20,000 decimal places.
Mr Morton, 33, on Sunday failed for the third time in his bid to
enter the Guinness Book of Records by reciting the mathematical number, pi.
But the memory-man, who sometimes forgets his cashpoint number, will not give up and intends to mount a fourth bid in three or four weeks time.
His second attempt to recite the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter to 20,014 decimal places foundered after a further three hours when he was too tired to continue.
His third attempt was scuppered when he got stuck at number 15,220.
The world record is 42,195 numbers memorised by Hiroyuki Goto of Japan.
Mr Morton, of Lytham, Lancashire, said: "I've spent three years on this and I cannot move forward in my life until I have done it - it's psychological.
"It's so boring I would rather watch paint dry on top of Blackpool Tower but
it's got to be done."
He said he was particularly disappointed his final attempt had ended in failure.
"On Sunday I really went for it, I was well ahead of the clock but one moment of hesitation when I was 75% of the way through, cost me the record. But I shall be trying again."
Mr Morton has an incredible talent for reciting vast lists of numbers, names and faces but admits that he can also be absent-minded.
"I went to my own wedding and forgot my marriage licence. I have forgotten my pin number several times and when I drive my taxi I have to hear the address several times," he said.
Apart from a having a superhuman memory, Mr Morton boasts an IQ of 145, can perform difficult mental arithmetic tasks in seconds and write forwards and backwards with ease.
After the record attempt he hopes to put his memory techniques to use in
industrial and commercial training.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Nearsightedness: Overcorrection After Surgery
Overcorrection makes an eye that was nearsighted before surgery farsighted (hyperopia) after surgery. Overcorrection speeds up the start of presbyopia. Most people who have overcorrection will need reading glasses around age 40. Improvements in surgical techniques are reducing the risk of overcorrection.
Surgery to correct overcorrection is possible. But it is hard to predict how well it will work.
With radial keratotomy (RK) surgery, the number of people who are overcorrected or farsighted seems to increase as more time (years) passes after the procedure. These changes over time are believed to be caused by the hyperopic shift. The hyperopic shift is less common in people who have had laser surgery.

I think where I run in Pennsylvania is beautiful, but it's nothing compared to the places you run. Maybe someday I can get out west to run, but for now, I'm just glad to be able to get out for a good walk. However, thanks for the inspiration along the way. I'm starting way at the bottom, and hope someday to be able to climb as high as you and your friends are. It just seems like it's such a long way up, figuratively speaking.

When you step through the doors of the Biergarten restaurant in Epcot's Germany pavilion you will feel more like you stepped straight into Oktoberfest in a quaint German village. Judging by the name of this buffet, I would say that was just the plan of the Imagineer's who designed it! Biergarten translated literally means beer garden and refers to an "open-air area where beverages, preferably beer, and food are served". In Germany, this would be an outdoor area attached to a pub or beer hall. The outdoor area makes it easier for the establishments to accommodate larger parties of guests.
The food at Biergarten is just as hearty as the atmosphere, featuring classic German dishes as well as more well-known entrees like sauerbraten, weinkraut, and bratwurst. There is also a salad bar and delicious desserts are included in your meal price. You can view their full menu HERE.
Biergarten opens at noon for lunch and closes briefly between lunch and dinner hours. It is one table service credit on the Disney Dining Plan, and reservations are suggested, although you can often squeeze in here a few months or weeks out. This is an excellent use of your dining credits-the atmosphere, menu, and authenticity of Biergarten can't be beat! You'll be doing the polka in no time!
Overall, we give Biergarten an "A".

After more than a century, the mystery of why Ibsen's Little Eyolf is so rarely performed has been solved: It's a dog. The production now at the Century Center as part of its Ibsen series only highlights its ludicrous faults. To be fair, it also uncovers a hint of psychological genius fighting to emerge from the claptrap around it.
Think of Little Eyolf, which follows A Doll's House and Hedda Gabbler, as Ibsen's Cymbelinea hodgepodge of the author's golden oldies, including odd genre combinations, secondhand devices, and characters who are poor cousins to previous creations. Bartlett Sher made a hit of Theatre for a New Audience's Cymbeline this season by reimagining the piece to make hay of its absurd plotting and mix-'n'-match styles. By contrast, Steve Ramshur stages this grim Ibsen debacle in deadly earnest.
The sorry story details how the tensely married Rita and Alfred erupt into warfare when he resolves to give up writing about "human responsibility" to devote himself to their neglected, crippled son, Eyolf. (Psst! They're not having sex.) Rita can spare no part of Alfred, either to their little boy or to Alfred's beloved sister, Asta. Eyolf drowns shortly after a peasant called the Rat Wife departs, miffed at hearing that the rich family has no rodent-ridding business for her (like the pied piper, she lures them into the water until they drown). The couple hurl recriminations, undergo breathtakingly sudden moral transformations, and vow to adopt the town's poor children. There's also a clumsy subplot about Alfred's sisteror is she?and her suitor, Borghejm.
Ibsen has written husband and wife unbelievable lines, which the director handles with more respect than they deserve. A needy wife like Rita might well think, "I don't want to share you with anyone." Perhaps she might even blurt it out in a confessional whisper. But Ramshur directs Linda Marie Larson to shriek it. For his part, Duncan M. Rogers's Alfred responds with a passive-aggressive stolidity that comes across as wooden. At times, though, when the text supports the actors, they do create some gripping psychic interactions. In onecomposed of equal parts guilt, blame, and griefthey percolate like forebears of Albee's George and Martha. Naomi Peters fares better with the less problematic role of Asta, and Gabriel Maxson charms as her normal-guy wooer. Everyone huffs and puffs to make this sick puppy do tricks, but without an act of magic, maybe they should let sleeping dogs lie.

Man injured in motorcycle accident dies
SAGINAW — Archie "Dutch" Clark III was taken off of life support June 28. He was hospitalized for more than a week prior to being taken off of life support after suffering a head injury in a motorcycle accident June 18.
Clark, 51, of Prescott, was reportedly traveling eastbound on Maple Ridge Road in Moffatt Township on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle around 10 p.m. when a deer reportedly ran into the roadway, colliding with the motorcycle.
Clark was transported to St. Mary's of Michigan Standish Hospital via MMR and then transferred to Saginaw St. Mary's, where he remained on life support until Saturday.

Cardinals Begin Talks to Decide Date of Secret Conclave
Jeffrey DonovanRoman Catholic cardinals are meeting at the Vatican for preliminary talks to discuss the state of the church and decide on a date to begin the secret conclave to elect a new pope.
More than 200 cardinals will take part in the meetings, called "general congregations," that began this morning and will continue in the afternoon. The gatherings are expected to go on all week and a conclave date is unlikely to be announced today, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said at a press briefing on March 1.
The talks involve cardinals from more than 60 nations of both voting and non-voting age. Today's morning meeting was attended by 142 cardinals, of whom 103 can vote as they're under the voting-age limit of 80, Lombardi said at a briefing. Sixty-five cardinals were absent and are expected to join the meeting this afternoon or tomorrow, he said.
The conclave, which will take place in the Sistine Chapel, will be attended by 115 voting-age cardinals. Lombardi said the cardinals are divided on whether to hold the conclave soon or spend more time getting to know one another and discussing key issues before having to select a new leader for the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
Some cardinals "are in more of a rush or want to proceed more quickly" to the conclave, Lombardi said. "Then there are those who'd like more time in the congregations, and this is something they still must work out among themselves."
The conclave may begin as soon as March 10, U.S. Cardinal Sean O'Malley was cited as saying in an interview published yesterday in the National Catholic Reporter.
Pope Benedict XVI on Feb. 28 became the first pontiff in 600 years to abdicate. The 85-year-old, now known as "pope emeritus," flew by helicopter to the papal summer residence south of Rome and will return to the Vatican in two months to spend his retirement in a convent.

The coldest was 15 with 10 mph winds. I only lasted 3 miles. The coldest this year has been 20 degrees, but i am layed much better than previous years. My miles have suffered greatly too. I only have 65 for the month and i have a half next Sunday.
2017 goals:
sub 1:30 half
near 0 to over 100. The worst was when I had a heat stroke in TX. I was so lucky I had a friend with me who made me stop running. It could have been much worse.
-30C, about -40 with windchill (-40 is -40, C or F) - That was last week. I think I've run in slightly colder raw temps, almost certainly worst windchill, but I can't really remember.
warmest I think would be about 40C. And oh so brutally humid.
Racing, I think it's been -26C and about 30C. Neither of which leads to much of a race result.
Running during freezing rain is interesting. I've had a 4-5mm sheet of ice on my hat.
2 days ago I was running in mid 50 degree weather, while today went all the way down to a below zero wind-chill. There was no way I would have slipped and fall on ice 2 days ago, such as I did today.
Coldest: -15F (-30 windchill)
Warmest: 110F
Neither was particularly pleasant if I remember.
Coldest: -15F (-30 windchill) Warmest: 110F Neither was particularly pleasant if I remember.
Holy Cow!
23 degrees for the coldest for me (life threatening!)
and 106 degrees for the hottest....you just can't take enough clothes off!
Running is stupid
I ran a 5 mile race last year with 94F and humid ~ It had been 100F ealrier in day (7pm race) ... 10k or less I would try that again (Not like it, but not skip race)
Cold - I have run in -20F real temps (no wind) and -30+F Wind Chill ~ I hate cold, but -20F with no wind is actually not bad once you get out there. Today it is -5F with -25 to -30F wind chill ~ I am thinking TM sounds good.
Retired 1/1/13 ... Tired of being broken and fat ... Hit 296# Memorial Day 2016 - New goal = To be able to enjoy running 4-5 hours through the woods again by Fall 2016. April 2017 ... Shit it is almost April !
I am with you. Yesterday it was below zero and we had 20+ mph winds. I had planned a ten mile run but under those conditions i didn't want to head out so I ran 82 laps on a 200 meter indoor track.
Woohoo, new Coldest Run for me today: -8, feels like -18. Although since it was sunny and there was no wind, it wasn't bad at all, except for my eyes trying to freeze shut because of ice in my eyelashes. I've tried wearing sunglasses while I run, but they kept fogging up.
I can't wait for Spring.
Life is short. Running makes it seem longer.
I cannot recommend this stuff enough for that reason (as a blind-as-a-bat runner, I have to wear glasses when I run, so I have tried a lot of products).

Coldest I think I ever ran is was single digits, something like 5 or 6. I don't believe I have run with temps below that. Hottest is nothing compared to some of the areas south of me (I live in NH). But I'd say maybe in the 90s.

"Silver Linings Playbook" star Jennifer Lawrence proved herself once against to be an earthy and unpredictable interviewee on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Monday, offering an anecdote about a car accident in Georgia that turned into an account of her favorite reality TV shows.
READ MORE: Jennifer Lawrence: 5 Killer Roles of a Rare A-List Indie Queen
"I was driving home from work and I thought I saw Honey Boo Boo," Lawrence explained, saying that she was going past a breast cancer parade and thought the shirts the marchers were wearing — which actually said "boobs" — announced the name of the title character in TLC's notorious unscripted child beauty-pageant series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Lawrence was then looking so closely at a child in the event that she suspected might be Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson that she rear-ended the car ahead of her, though fortunately no one was hurt. She confessed to loving the TLC show as well as "Intervention": "I love any kind of TV that makes me feel better about myself, and Honey Boo Boo is perfect for that."
The 22-year-old Lawrence caused a stir among cinephiles when she told the New York Times earlier this month, "I like making movies, but that doesn't mean I want to watch a black-and-white, freaking boring silent movie." Ironically, "Silver Linings Playbook" has been attracting "The Artist"-level Oscar buzz since its world premiere at the Toronto film festival in September.

San Diego Immigrant Rights Groups Rally In Support Of Migrant Families
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
Aired 7/3/14 on KPBS News.
Dozens of activists gathered near downtown San Diego on Wednesday morning to show their support for migrant families from Central America who had been transported to the region.
Dozens of activists gathered near downtown San Diego on Wednesday morning to show their support for migrant families from Central America who had been transported to the region.
"These children are our children," said Enrique Morones, executive director of the immigrant rights group, Border Angels. "Let's show the world that we know how to love our children."
Nearly 140 women and children who entered the U.S. illegally arrived to San Diego on Tuesday by plane from overcrowded facilities in Texas. Immigration officials then took them by chartered buses to Murrieta but the vehicles were blocked and turned away by protesters.
"We saw the worst of the American spirit," Morones said of the Murrieta protest.
Border Angels is leading an effort to collect food, clothes, toys and other items to give to the newly arrived refugees. Morones said his group is planning to help in every way they can. He urged the community to do the same.
"We're working with other agencies and providing legal assistance for free, housing and food for free, helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they need to pick up some family, or drop off at a bus station."
Tommy Ramirez, dean of students for the Maac Community Charter School in Chula Vista brought 20 students to the rally to help them get involved in the humanitarian effort.
"We were very saddened yesterday to see what happened with those children," Ramirez said. "We talked about it with our students and there are many of them that wanted to come and support."
Marabel Solache from San Marcos is part of the advocate group, North County Immigration Task Force. She came to the rally with her two children to offer a different message than the protesters in Murrieta.
"How do you think they were thinking inside of the bus? They don't feel welcome. And that's why I was so emotional is because I can't imagine," Saloche said.
Escondido resident Ronald Kohl, with the advocate group La Jolla Quakers, said he's mortified by what happened in Murrieta.
"I believe we can present a better image," Kohl said. "I think we can treat people better."
Morones said donations can be brought to the Border Angels office located at 2258 Island Avenue, San Diego 92101.

immigrant rights groups --- culture of we take, take, take. you pay, pay, pay.
JeanMarc | July 2, 2014 at 8:25 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
Don't these people have jobs to go to? Perhaps they themselves are living off the government?
Peking_Duck_SD | July 2, 2014 at 8:32 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
The angry mob who showed up to protest people being detained and transported for processing also taunted LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS of Latino/Hispanic background:
From the LA Times :
A well-known Mexican banda singer named Lupillo Rivera who is a UNITED STATES CITIZEN was driving by when he happened upon the protest and somebody shouted that he was an illegal immigrant and should go home.
I have a hard time believing that these people have a problem simply because they did something "illegal".
They have a problem because these people are brown and they are angry over America's changing racial demographics, let's just bring some honesty into this right now.
This "illegal" clutch people rely on is a smokescreen.
Illegal is simply a government designation and can change at any time when laws change.
We could have amnesty granted for certain folks and they would no longer be "illegal", but do you think people like this would treat them any better if that were the case?
Of course not.
I really wish these people would stop hiding behind the "illegal" mantra because they don't want brown immigrants coming here regardless of whether they are illegal or not.
Peking_Duck_SD | July 2, 2014 at 8:34 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
By the way, my post above is referring to the angry mob that prevented DHS from processing people in their custody yesterday, not the immigrant groups referred to in this article, just thought I'd clarify.
Peking_Duck_SD | July 2, 2014 at 8:37 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
JeanMarc "Don't these people have jobs to go to? Perhaps they themselves are living off the government"?
Did the people who stopped the buses yesterday not have jobs?
Why weren't THEY at work?
Maybe they were on public welfare soaking up MY tax dollars.
progressivebuthey | July 2, 2014 at 11:39 a.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
for every dollar spent on this problem, the u.s. must borrow from china because we are in a deficit. ridiculous. spend 2 billion in mexico and central america on birth control. if you can't afford children, can't protect them, can't feed them, can't house or educate them DON'T HAVE CHILDREN.
Mmikey | July 2, 2014 at 12:34 p.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
So let me get this straight. . . If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. Two Americans just got eight years for crossing the Iranian border. If you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a job, a driver's license, food stamps, a place to live, health care, housing, child benefits, education, and a tax free business for 7 years? No wonder we're a country in debt.
jskdn | July 2, 2014 at 2:33 p.m. ― 2 years, 8 months ago
The rights these groups seek is the right of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and receive benefits for being here. Those rights are in inherent conflict with the right of the citizens of this country to choose to limit immigration and have their government effectively enforce the laws necessary for that to be possible.

I can't believe some of the comments here. People really need to go to a library, sit down, do some research. They can also go to school and learn something, ANYTHING! The fact that someone actually brought up birth control is appalling. Do you morons know anything about what happens in the world outside of this country? It's 2014 for crying out loud!
I also applaud this organization for putting "human" before immigrant.

Thread: MyWi vs. TetherMe APN Settings
04-29-2013, 08:57 AM #1MyWi vs. TetherMe APN Settings
Good Morning Guys -
I bought a MyWi license about 3 years ago and absolutely loved the app when it worked! The #1 feature by far for me was being able to use OnDemand to tether my iPad 3 to my iPhone 4s automatically.
A few months ago, I started to receive warnings about tethering from AT&T. After a bit of research, I had to uninstall MyWi and purchase/install TetherMe due to it's APN settings which would allow stealth tether. It works great, but doesn't have the OnDemand feature.
Now that it's almost a year later and IOS 6 / MyWi6 has come out, has anything changed - or - is there a way to use MyWi with the stealth / APN setttings of TetherMe?
I found a package on Cydia which shows the APN settings in Settings so with TetherMe installed, I took screenshots of the settings, uninstalled TetherMe, installed MyWi 6, then compared and they were the same.
I guess the basic question is is it possible to have both stealth tethering & OnDemand?
Here's what I do. I got the same warning last year, months after I think I used TetherMe once to download a total of about 300mb. So I have learned to use the iphone directly to do all my downloading, and with the unlimited AT&T data plan I manage to download at least 60GB on my iPhone 4S every month. The first day of the cycle has a few hours that are not throttled, the rest of the time download speeds are around 30kBs. So all this talk on here in other threads, of not going crazy downloading, is crazy--the detection must be different. Also the detection can not be browser user agent based, as I have faked that all the time too. So either they are reading packets seeing they have forwarding info or they are just trying to scare people. I'd go with the first option. So from reading what people have said in here, I think you have a good chance of being safe if you stay under 3GB for the month. If you get caught, deny, deny, deny, then tell AT&T you will update your phone and keep track of it at all times--then really stop tethering. Not saying you'll be safe tethering, but AT&T is rather forgiving to long term customers IMHO. Using SSH and VNC, with the iPhone's default route set up to use 3/4G as default instead of wifi could be another option that can not be detected.

Hi, BluSelect 5.0+ is a useful SBSettings tweak to quickly tether your iPad to your iPhone over Bluetooth. Also YFiSelect 5.0+ does the same for your Personal Hotspot. Apple App Store app Onavo Protect sets up a VPN for your iPhone should you want to hide your Internet traffic in public hotspots etc.
You might also find SBSettings Tethering Toggle and SBSettings VPN toggle on your iPhone speed up the tethering process.

The Origins of a Cleaning Empire
Originally, Carpet Tech was started by my brother Chad when I was still in High School. He began the carpet cleaning business in order to make money to get himself through college at Texas Tech using a minivan with a small carpet cleaning machine inside. My brother was always my hero but as I watched him continue to grow his business my admiration became even greater. Then on December of 1995, our lives were changed forever.
My brother Chad, at the age of 23, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When Chad was too ill to continue with the business, my father sold the minivan to a fireman in Lubbock while I graduated high school and accepted a scholarship to play football at Texas Tech. Chad did not make it another Christmas. He passed away in September of 1996 and I was devastated. I quit school, quit football, and had absolutely no direction. My brother was an amazing person. As fate would have it, it was not long before the fireman who bought Chad's carpet cleaning van called and offered us the chance to purchase it back. We jumped on the opportunity and Carpet Tech was reborn in 1996.
In the beginning, I had no plans to grow the business; it was just something to keep myself busy. I then began to dream. I wanted to finish what my brother started using his vision as the foundation for Carpet Tech. He built Carpet Tech on honesty, integrity, and customer service and I had a plan to continue his legacy using his values and lots of hard work. So I began to push and sell and use all my energy to produce and grow the business in order to bring honor to his memory.
Today we are still building relationships with our current customers and gratefully accepting referrals. With offices located in Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Odessa, Collin County, & Clovis, we are able to service the South Plains, Panhandle and Eastern New Mexico area. We are the most recognized cleaning and restoration company in the region.

i would say BF2 and FEAR not so much COD2. I noticed little diffrence between 512 crap ram and 2g good ram on COD2 so i wouldent think its as stressfull as the other 2 i mentioned
well i play bf2 faithfully on full everything and its great i love it...so basically that should be enough for me to really stress comp...i played that fear demo not for me ....lol....but i played it with full everything just fine...anyway then thanks for the replies...maybe ill try the COD2 for the fun of it
COD2 for the fun of it i would suggest since the games is really good and very much worth getting and occasionally replaying also
any newish game will stress an X700.. u dont have to look hard for one.. and cod 2 will bring my 2 gig memory.. X850 540/600 grfx .. FX57 speed cpu system to its knees quite easily if i dont set it right.. it is one of the best games out there thow.. trog
X3: Reunion Demo, does a fair job of the details and large mapping capabilites of a system and results are saved but rewritten, so saving each result in seprate document would then be able to compare each run as the benchmark settings are changed. I like it for the graphics. Matter of opinion.
The Elder Scrolls VI:Oblivion will stress a lot! (I've tested) Graphics are really nice, better than in Fable tlc.
Lmao... I was Just about to say that! Yea i just got that and man that thing can make my system beg for mercy lol
